1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? - cycle 19, CD14
2. Are you testing this week? - not anymore, already got my positive OPK
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? - Had my second RE appointment yesterday, where they did blood work to check estrogen levels and a transvaginal ultrasound. Levels are good, follicle was 21mm, and endometrial lining was 9mm. The RE seems pleased with my results, and I go back in a week for more blood work, this time to check my progesterone levels.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? - In my house, I'll go to our bedroom and read a book. if I leave the house, I like going to libraries or churches. Anywhere quiet.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 11, CD 12
2. Are you testing this week? Got a positive OPK this morning. Yay!!
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I'm supposed to get the results back from my bloodwork I had done last week. They got my FSH, a hormone I didn't get a chance to write down, and glucose back already. They were all normal. I'm curious as to what the other results are. Hoping to get DH's SA done next week. * I got my updated results before 3 p.m. this afternoon. My AMH is lowER for my age and my testosterone is slightly lower than they'd prefer. We still have to get DH's SA done next week. If this cycle isn't successful, she want's to schedule my HSG for CD7-10.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? I pay a visit to my elliptical in the garage first thing. This is followed by naps, meditation, or Yoga in our MBR.

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 11, CD 11
2. Are you testing this week? OPKS, i THINK i'll O thursday, so i'm hoping O-2 works for us like it has some of you other ladies =)
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? like i mentioned last week, my mom doesn't know we're TTC. we were out shopping and she saw this ornament frame in the shape of a tv (i used to work in tv) with the words "love at first sight" on, intended to be an ultrasound pic frame. AND SHE WANTED TO BUY ONE FOR MY FORMER COWORKER WHO'S PG. omg i almost lost my mind in kohl's.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? target. or the mall. alone time window-shopping has always calmed me down.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? cycle 12, cd13, first cycle on Clomid, will be doing IUI #1 this cycle
2. Are you testing this week? just doing opk's
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? DH had a follow up appointment for his slightly elevated prolactin level yesterday. Reviewed his results from the SA with the endocrinologist and everything looks stellar except for his morphology, which is on the low end of good. So his elevated prolactin is more than likely separate and not causing any fertility issues. I'm going in for an ultrasound this afternoon to take a look at my follicles to see if they're ready for IUI. If it looks good, will get a trigger shot today and do IUI tomorrow.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? Target. Roaming up and down every aisle with Starbucks in hand is my happy place.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTC since Sept 2013, 10DPO
2. Are you testing this week? I'm due for CD1 either Thursday or Friday. I plan on waiting until Saturday as I'm 99% sure it would be a wasted test. Bad timing this month
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? We go on Thursday to sign off on our IVF paperwork. The insurance company's specialty pharmacy already called to deliver $10K worth of meds! Yikes!!! I'm so thankful for infertility coverage, which I know is a rarity!
4. Where do you go to de-stress? Gym or on my couch in front of my DVR!

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 7 TTCAL, CD 10
2. Are you testing this week? not this week
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Got CD 3 bloodwork done last week, all looked good there, have to go back in a couple weeks for CD 25. H and I have been conflicted about whether to keep trying or to put it on hold for a while until I get my job situation all figured out but I think we are on the TTC wagon full time. I'm happy about this but also a little nervous.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? If H is not home I get on the couch with the dogs and watch cheesy movies, but if he is I like going out to the mall or target or somewhere to shop and maybe buy something small but cute to cheer me up.

2. Are you testing this week? I'm undecided
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I got a negative last Thursday night before an xray. Then on Friday, I thought it was CD1. By Saturday it had totally stopped and nothing since then. I don't know if I should test again or not at this point.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? The beach or my bedroom alone with control of the tv

2. Are you testing this week? No
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I had some complications after my D&C, I started having terrible pains, so I went back to my OB/GYN. Turns out I still had some clots and blood in my Ute. I had to take Misoprostol to get everything out. I go back tomorrow to make sure everything is fine. I just hope this is all over soon.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? About to be cycle 9. Currently CD33, 14DPO but I am 100% positive AF will show up tonight or tomorrow. I have cramps and am still spotting.

2. Are you testing this week? No
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I have an RE monitoring appointment tomorrow morning. I'm very curious what the injectables have been doing and if they'll change the dosage or not.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? At home, I like our recliner or I'll lay on our bed. Outside the house, I agree with whoever said Target with a Starbucks in hand. Totally did that today.

1. Cd 25 ttc since June '13 2. Positive opk today 3. My o pains are so bad it feels like period cramps so hard to get in the mood 4. Inside my craft room outside on the porch swing
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 6, CD 27, 11 dpo
2. Are you testing this week? Yes. I tested today but it was inconclusive. I feel like I see a very very faint line, but I don't know if it's actually there or if I just want it to be there so badly that my eyes are playing tricks on me.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Just waiting We had really good timing this month, and I've been having pre-period like cramps since CD5 and the girls are pretty sore. I'm hopeful, but I've been convinced I was KU other months and was no. It's all a crap shoot right now.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? For me it's not so much where I go, it's what I do. Which is yoga, read a book with a glass of wine, take a bath, cuddle with my fur babies, etc.

3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? DH has a good job prospect, so I can hopefully start looking into fertility treatments. At a minimum, I want an ultrasound to see if everything is okay. Being off the pill is just as awful as I remember. Fuck endo.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? Camping. I've been known to call DH and tell him to pick up stuff for smores and load the car, because I am going crazy.
I can finally join in again! This my first cycle post m/c.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTC since Nov '13, CD11, TTCAL
2. Are you testing this week? Starting digital OPKs this week.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I got pregnant the first cycle I started using OPKs last time around, so I am hopeful it will happen quickly this time around. Fingers crossed, anyway.
4. Where do you go to de-stress? Put on comfy clothes, lay in bed with the lights dimmed, maybe a candle on and some hot tea, and either read or watch TV. It's my happy place.

So sorry...the waiting to start trying again was the hardest part for me. It took about 7 weeks for AF to come back and it was the longest 7 weeks of my life. Hoping it goes quicker for you. Hugs!
