1. Where are you in your journey? - cycle 24, CD19, 4DPO
2. Are you testing this week? - No, I'm pretty sure we missed our chance this month (I O'd later than normal), so we have a slim chance, but it's not looking good.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? - Not really. I'm over it, but I've been over it for while now...
4. What is your next vacation? - I'm trying to plan something for our anniversary in May, but we're going to Alaska in March, so that's the next planned trip!

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 11, CD30
2. Are you testing this week? No. Tests showed I didn't O, so now that I know that, it feels pointless
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? So many. I'm so frustrated that I'm not O'ing with no real guidance from my doctor except "call when you start your period"
4. What is your next vacation? End of Feb- going snowboarding!
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 3/2014. CD22/8dpo.
2. Are you testing this week? Yes. Glutton for punishment, plus I didn't just buy 50 Wondfo HPTs to just let them sit in the cabinet! I'll start tomorrow, I think.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Meh, I'm at peace with needing help. I have this and next as hail mary cycles; my first RE appointment falls during FW next month. If we do need treatment, I decided that we have to wait until at least May due to a huge work project that I'm the statewide PM for, so I decided I'll sign up for my first full marathon.
4. What is your next vacation? Kauai in March! I can't wait. I've been burning the candle at both ends with work, and juggling two professional jobs and a toddler, and we all really need this. It won't be hot, but hopefully it'll be warm enough to enjoy sitting on the beach/at the pool.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 cycle 6 CD24
2. Are you testing this week? No, sore boobs are almost gone, which means period is coming in 2-4 days
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Seriously thinking of giving this up. I was leaning towards one and done for a while, then about a year ago got major baby fever and we decided to TTC in the spring but had to put it off due to work changes. I thought it would happen quickly or at least in the same amount of time with DD. I don't know if I have it in me to continue this path of actively trying, the heavy mix of disappointment and slight, secret relief each month doesn't help. MH and I need to have a major talk.
4. What is your next vacation? Nothing planned, hoping to get away a few days during April Break.
2. Are you testing this week? Just OPKs. I got my first high reading on my digital test today, after several days of low.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Not really.
4. What is your next vacation? Nothing planned. I think we are skipping a big vacation this year and are going to do some smaller weekend trips instead.
Yay, Mushe, I'm glad you decided to go for the marathon!!
H&F is full of the best enablers! Errr, runablers. I'm just waiting out this cycle to see what happens, and if it's a bust, I'll sign up. H all of a sudden has opinions on which one I choose. Lol!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Jan 2012, Cycle 23? TTCAL, CD2
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Nah
4. What is your next vacation? We're going to Phoenix in April for a friend's wedding. As far as an actual vacation, not sure. We'll probably do some weekend trips here and there but nothing big.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Feb '14. TTCAL Cycle 6, CD23, 5DPO
2. Are you testing this week? No, I think I will wait until I'm late this time. I'm tired of seeing BFNs
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I guess if it doesn't happen this time, DH will go in for a SA. I had CD3 bloodwork done this time, which was all normal. Happy that my dr. is being proactive though.
4. What is your next vacation? We don't have anything planned, but I told DH last night that if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I want to go to Tahoe and ski for a weekend in Feb.

1. Where are you in your journey? cycle 16, CD16, 1DPO (i think)
2. Are you testing this week? nope...i ran out of wondfo OPKs last week, but figured since my cycle has been pretty consistent for months it would be fine. HAHAHAH not so much, never got a positive before i ran out, and then my temp didn't spike until today. so instead of O-ing on CD 13, it was CD15. thankfully we still managed O-6,O-5 and O-2 (which i thought would be O day).
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? my little sis texted me yesterday asking if we wanted to dinner with mom and dad and her DH friday...of course i immediately get a pit in my stomach, terrified she's getting us all together to tell us she's PG. then she texts that she figured they could just crash our weekly mexican date (we haven't been in awhile, but DH and i used to have a standing friday night dinner there). so,she mostly just wants chips and salsa.
4. What is your next vacation? going to CA in april for a wedding, but we might try and stay a couple extra days, DH has never been to the west coast.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Were doing IUI + injectables this cycle. Hoping it works. Nervous about injections but I keep hearing its not that bad. Our friends are due this month with their baby. Not sure how I'm going to handle it. It's been a really shitty 2015 so far and things keep piling on.
4. What is your next vacation? If we can find cheap tickets, I'd like to visit my parents sometime in the summer. Otherwise we're holding out for a babymoon.

Glad your doctor is being so proactive!
Are you close to Tahoe? We're pretty close, but I'm not a skier.

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 15, CD16, and who the heck knows about dpo
2. Are you testing this week? Not this week
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.?
So my acupuncturist looked at my chart on Friday and said something short of, "What did you DO?!" Really, he wanted to know why my chart was so rocky this cycle. It's been much smoother with the acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The only thing I have done differently was take Fertile CM. I am certain the FCM itself isn't bad....heck, I've had great CM this cycle....but I wonder if it was clashing with the chinese herbs he's had me taking. I had noticed myself that it looked crazy this cycle compared to my normal one. I don't think FF is right on my O date based on the rocky temps. www.fertilityfriend.com/home/44a9e3 I've had ovulation pains on the left side since Saturday and STRONGLY on the right yesterday....with a positive OPK AFTER it's saying I ovulated. Who knows
4. What is your next vacation? We don't have anything planned and we should. Right NOW, it's our trip to PA for Thanksgiving.
HoneySpider You have an appointment on the 5th or the 9th?
1. TTC since Nov '13, cd 6 2. Just my CBEFM 3. This is the last cycle of TI. I'll start testing early because I don't know the exact date that H leaves and we need to freeze some sperm so I can start IUI's while he's gone if I'm not pregnant. 4. It's not fun taking a vacation alone. The only trip I have planned is probably meeting up with my brother for a weekend in April in Myrtle Beach since he'll only be 4 hrs from me. I'll probably take a few days off during the 14 day break my H gets to come home but we probably won't go anywhere.

1. Where are you in your journey? Trying since November 2013, CD 22
2. Are you testing this week? Nope, I actually have no idea what is going on with me this cycle, between Clomid, traveling, and being sick none of my temps make any sense so I actually have no idea if I've even o'd.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? See above. Also, I enrolled in a reproductive rights course this semester, and while I think it will be interesting, I had my first class yesterday and I'm having lots of "feelings" about some of the material. For example, one session will have a local RE come talk to the class which is interesting for the class, but I've actually looking into his practice and will probably go there if nothing happens for us in next few months. So I'm just a little nervous since I feel I'm probably closer to the material than a lot of others in the room.
4. What is your next vacation? Not sure. I think H is planning something for after I take the bar exam, but I'm not sure what it will be. He's given me a couple weekends to not schedule anything but that's all I know so far.
1. TTCAL, Cycle 4, 8 DPO 2. Will test this weekend. 3. Not really. I've been sick for the past 3-4 days, so that has taken my mind off the countdown to testing. So while it really has sucked, its been kind of nice too. I really hope this is our cycle but who knows. 4. I have nothing planned and I posted in the Loss Checkin thread that I really think we should travel somewhere around our EDD, which was late March. It would be a great time to get away to somewhere warm anyway. I think I'm going to work on DH on that one!

We are in the Bay Area, so about a 4 hr drive. I've never been though.
belle55, I would likely plan this ski trip around my EDD which was Feb 23. I think it will be a good way to take my mind off of it, if I'm not pg.

MrsMB the 5th. I'm the first surgery of the day so I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am BUT it means we will get home mid-day and be able to just veg out. I'm already planning on ordering a pizza, diet be damned.

You do whatever the heck you want to do after your procedure...you deserve it!
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 3/2014. CD22/8dpo.

I totally support this. I've actually been trolling ultrasignup all morning...probably not the best idea. I guess I'll just settle for a half until we figure out what's going on with me and my lack of periods.
1. Where are you in your journey? CD10 cycle 2 TTCAL#4
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I just unloaded them all on TTTC...
4. What is your next vacation? Once we get our passports/visas back, I'm angling to go to Croatia in March as a consolation prize (if no sticky baby until then). Also a GTG with the awesome awick14 around May.
