[oneslybookworm]

1. Where are you in your journey? - cycle 19, CD29, 15DPO with multiple BFNs

2. Testing this week? - I will pee in all of the things.

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? - longest cycle and longest LP yet. RE confirmed good estrogen, great follicle, great endo lining, and definitely ovulated. Pregnant? Of course not! Logic holds no place here.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? - Yep, I'd like twins!

[aprilsails]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 7, CD 15
2. Testing this week? I should O today or tomorrow but have gotten 4 days of negative OPK results. This is pretty standard for me. I very rarely catch it.
3. Any vents, thoughts etc? I'm sitting out a cycle in order to not be due on my best friend's wedding date next August and because we had a CP last cycle. This is hard. My stepsister just told family Sunday that she is pregnant. She started trying in late September. So it's been a bad week.
4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? My family is littered with fraternal twins so there is a possibility there. I wouldn't mind if it happened to me. DH thinks it would be great to just do it once and get two kids out of it.

[shauni27]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 14, CD 5
2. Testing this week? nope
3. Any vents, thoughts etc? This is getting so hard. I thought with starting steps with the RE that things would feel better, like I was more in control. But I just feel even more defeated because now people keep telling me stories of "oh, I know so many people who once they met with the RE they got pregnant on their own!" so I have a whole new kind of pressure to deal with.
4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? At this point, I would take twins if it was necessary for me to get pregnant, but we have always wanted just one child.

[ginkgoleaf]

1. TTC #2 since 9/2013. CD 23, 8 dpIUI #5, first cycle on injectables.

2. I'm going to wait until at least Monday, which would be 13dpIUI. I'll be out of town visiting my parents, so could be interesting.

3. I'm over TTC. Depending what happens this cycle, we'll do one more IUI and then talk to the RE about moving on to ivf. We're out of pocket and have already spent what an ivf cycle would cost just trying IUIs.

4. We would be happy with twins! At this point we may not ever try for a third because of how it's been trying for a second. Twins would make the decision for us.

Good luck, oneslybookworm!

[achi]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 7, CD 13. Thinking yesterday may have been O day, which would be the earliest I've every O'd as long as I've been temping (coming up on 2 years soon).

2. Testing this week? Unlikely. Temp jumped up this morning and I had some EWCM yesterday and this morning again. H forgot this was my FW and helped himself in the shower yesterday and then didn't feel like it. Tonight I have class until 10 pm so it's unlikely that we'll be able to BD at all this cycle if I did in fact O yesterday. I am also didn't get to the store in time to pick up OPKs so if my temp hasn't gone up again/stayed high tomorrow then I will go get some.

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? See above.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? Hell to the no. We're pretty sure we only want 1 kid anyway.

[vanillahip]

1- CD33, maybe 10dpo? 14 months in to ttc =/= 14 cycles for me

2- I pee on all the things. (Bfn so far, DUH)

3- found out my insurance covers 0 for infertility, wrote a letter to my congressman, sorta pissed about it. My boss has been talking about starting FSA next year so I'll be pushing toward YES please let's!!

4- ooooh. I don't know. OAD but getting the 2 we're hoping for might be nice, but 2+ newborns sounds terrifying.

[EllieT]

1. Where are you in your journey?
Cycle ?, TTC since Nov 2013, Clomid cycle #4, CD 17
2. Testing this week?
Just opks
3. Any vents, thoughts etc?
I have absolutely zero fertile signs yet this cycle. Last month I had two days of positive opks and lots of ewcm and O'd the next day, the month before I had lots and lots of ewcm and got a positive opk next day followed by O. This month nothing. I know CD 17 is still early but I would line to see something happen
4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you?
Yes. We want three kids but seeing how hard it is just to get the first I doubt we will have enough time and money to achieve three pregnancies. Twins would help with that. Ideally I would go for a singelton first and then twins the second time

[ouokie]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Oct '12, CD 6, #2 medicated cycle

2. Testing this week? Nope. I'll start OPKs next week.

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? My LP has been getting longer. I have been getting positive OPKs but I've been wondering if I'm O'ing 48 hours after that instead of 24. I haven't been charting because my sleep pattern has been off.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? I would love it but I don't think DH would like it much. I have twin older brothers so it wouldn't be a big deal to me ( although I did tell my mom that she would have to move in with me)

[rockinrobyn]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 7 TTCAL, CD35, 9DPO

2. Testing this week? Yes. Probably on Friday or Saturday.

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? H is convinced I am pg. I have a feeling this could be it. I am very gassy and crampy, with slightly sore boobs. This never happens so I have high hopes.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? Yes, I think it would be a good experience.

[HoneySpider]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan 2012, Cycle 19 TTCAL
2. Testing this week?
Nope
3. Any vents, thoughts etc?
Now that we're in our new city I'll be making an appt with a RE here so we can continue the process. I hope it doesn't take forever to get in.
4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you?
Yes we'd love to have twins if it happened

[raangoli]

Can I join you ladies here? I have posted randomly, but never formally introduced myself, but this seems like a good place to jump in.

1) Waiting for AF after my D&C in mid-September.
2) Just blood tests for betas to see if they're down to zero. Last week was 11.
3) It's hard waiting for AF. It's like the opposite of what it should be.
4) We are firmly in the one-and-done camp, but I don't think I can say no to anything right now.

[oneslybookworm]

And...make that CD1 for me. On to cycle 20.

[montywho]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle #12 CD6 1st Clomid Cycle
2. Testing this week? no
3. Any vents, thoughts etc? Trying to decide on whether to do an iui this cycle.
4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? No. Daycare is too expensive and I wouldn't want to quit my job to stay at home.

So Sorry oneslybookworm

[lizz]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Nov 2013, 2nd medicated cycle, CD 21, hopefully ovulating today

2. Testing this week? Nope

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? It's been a rough two weeks waiting for O. I've had 3 monitoring ultrasounds and 4 blood draws. I was going to trigger yesterday but was surging on my own so now I spent $140 on a shot I didn't use. I guess I'll have it for next month although hopefully I'm pregnant and don't need it.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? Yes if there wasn't the increased risk of complications. We would love twins especially after this struggle. I had two mature follicles this month and a third not far behind so I think we have an increased chance.

I'm sorry

[MrsMB]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 12, CD4
2. Testing this week? No
3. Any vents, thoughts etc? I have my HSG on Monday. Thinking positive thoughts....lots...of...positive.....thoughts.
4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? Yes, I'll take any amount of healthy babies at this point

HoneySpider SO excited you will be making the appointment. We need BFP's soon!  

[daisy]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle5, 6DPO

2. Testing this week? Nope, too early. I'm holding out until I'm late this time.

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? We only managed O-1 so I'm not super hopeful. It would be awesome to get my BFP on my birthday (AF due 2 days before) but I'm STAYING RELAXED. (Yeah right).

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? Yes! I know it's crazy but H and I have always said if we could get a boy and girl twin the first time we'd be so happy. And done.

[EllenGriswold]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Nov. 2013, CD 25

2. Testing this week? Not this week, although I did go in for bloodwork today to test progesterone

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? Realized this week that if this cycle is not successful I will start AF on the day I would have been due from my MC. So, I'm really hoping that doesn't happen because it will suck!

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? I've been thinking about twins recently, I think I would like it but definitely no more than two! H would FREAK out.

I am so sorry oneslybookworm. (HUGS) and wine :drink:

[cgpm]

1. Cycle 15, CD 5

2. Nope.

3. I have to go for a redraw on my blood today. I had something come back positive that shouldn't be and my doctor is confused how I could've been exposed to it (so am I, quite frankly). Sorry to be so cryptic. DH is getting his SA done this week.

4. I always said that having twins would be great. But we could never afford that, although we would find a way if that happened.

[cateyes]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 11, CD 40, just waiting for CD 1 to start testing

2. Testing this week? Not any more

3. Any vents, thoughts etc? Once CD 1 gets here it will be on to CD 3 blood work and an HSG for me. DH already had his SA and he has super low morph (1-2%)

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you? I would love twins. Especially since TTC is taking some time and we want 4 kids total.

[Mushe]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #2 since April 2014 with a MMC in there. 7dpo

2. Testing this week?
I'm going to hold out until next Monday, which will be 12dpo

3. Any vents, thoughts etc?
I am riding the crazy train this cycle, interpreting every bloaty moment or twinge.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you?
Oh, I'd love twins, but I'm not sure my body could handle it. I'm really short, with no torso, and one was hard enough.

Robyn - that's how I am right now too, gassy and crampy!  I hope this is it for both of us!

[Mushe]

I'm so sorry, @one_sly_bookworm. I agree, hugs and wine.

Welcome raangoli! I hope your AF shows soon.

[lms]

1. Cycle 12, cd2, this will be my 5th cycle on Clomid.
2. Nope
3. I'm getting very frustrated. I've got 3, maybe 4, cycles left to get pregnant before my H leaves for a year. I was hoping he'd get to experience me being pregnant but I guess not.

He goes to the dr tomorrow for his SA results. The one he had done 2-3 years ago was fine though. On Friday I'm going to call my Dr and figure out what RE she wants me to go to so I can get the referral process started.
4. I'm fine with having twins but I don't know if H is. If I do happen to get pregnant in the next couple of months I'll be 38 before we can start trying for our second so I'd rather get it out of the way sooner rather than later.

[ginkgoleaf]

I'm sorry, @one_sly_bookworm

[callmehales]

1. Where are you in your journey? cycle 12, CD2

2. Testing this week? nope, OPKS starting early next week

3. Any vents, thoughts etc?  you know what's awesome when compounded with finding out a friend of PG with #2 the day you start your period? RUNNING OUT OF TAMPONS.  i have never been more pissed buying them in my life.  and since this month i had an LP of 11 days just like always, it makes me wonder if last month with a 15 day LP was a CP.  i felt nauseous after eating, i had to spit ALL the time and i swear my nipples looked bigger.  but since i never POAS because i thought AF was coming, i'll never know for sure.

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you?  yes. even though i'd be sad at only being PG once, and i really want 2 separated by a few years, not a few minutes.  but at this point, i'd take twins over nothing.

[kellikans]

1. Where are you in your journey?
onto cycle 13, CD1, failed IUI #1

2. Testing this week?
nope

3. Any vents, thoughts etc?
I am so sad.  I had a tiny glimmer of hope with faint positives, but looks like they were the hcg getting out of my system from the trigger shot.  but it is a mindfuck regardless of knowing that.  I was hopeful that this would be the month.  it would have been so perfect... EDD would have been right around DH's birthday, and Christmas would have been the perfect time to announce to my family when we were all together (since I only see them 1-2 times a year anyway).  and of course I started spotting at work yesterday and was in an 8 hour workshop, and it took everything I had to not break down and bawl my eyes since that's all I could think about.  it scares me that I have NEVER gotten pregnant, not even a CP or m/c.  it sounds awful, but I feel like at least I would know that I CAN.  and everything looked great for the IUI.  DH's sample was stellar, I had 2 great-sized follicles.  it scares me.  

waiting on a call back from my doctor about what the next step is.  she was talking about upping my dosage of Clomid to 150mg the next time around if I didn't get pregnant.   

4. If you could choose to get pregnant with multiples, would you?
I would prefer a singleton, but its definitely a possibility being on medicated cycles.  and we only want 2 kids anyway, but I feel like I will really enjoy being pregnant, so I want the chance to do it more than once. 

[MrsMB]

kellikans Many hugs...
