Where are you in your journey? TTC since Oct'12, 3 losses, CD21
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Waiting to hear back from doctor about HCG levels. I'm hoping that they are really low. They were 156 last week. We will also be starting some testing regarding recurrent miscarriages so that should be fun.
4. What is your next vacation? Going to Disney with DH's family end of April. Cannot wait!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since August 2013. In the 2WW of my first IVF cycle.
2. Are you testing this week? Beta is scheduled for Friday, so I'll know for sure by Friday afternoon. Eeeeeeeek
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I'm nervous that it didn't work. I think I'm too scared to test before the beta.
4. What is your next vacation? Well within the last week, we've decided to take DS to Disney with my parents. DH and I haven't been since our honeymoon 8 years ago, so it's pretty exciting! DS has clearly never been, but he's been asking to go - thanks, Disney Junior "commercials". I've been researching hotels and airfare all day. We're going to go in mid-April, so sort of last minute to plan it. I think we'll do 3 days at the park and then 3 days visiting my grandmother and all our other FL relatives.
We also have a weekend we'll go to Madison, WI to see my BFF in February, but that's just a 2 hour drive.
ginkgoleaf I can't wait to hear about your appointment. What time is it Friday afternoon?
Thanks! The appointment is in the morning, but they always call with bloodworm results in the afternoon. Anywhere from 1-5, but usually earlier now that we're doing IVF.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Jan 14. TTCAL Cycle 3, CD 21
2. Are you testing this week? Nope. I'm at least waiting another week until I'm late
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? We're snowed in with the blizzard. People keep posting the same meme on facebook. "January 2015: Blizzard. Sept/Oct 2015: Baby Boom." I wish it were that easy!
4. What is your next vacation? We don't have anything planned. I'm hoping for a couple of weekend trips over the summer.

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.
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.
Do it! I always want to run all the races, but didn't want to take this next step up unless I was sure I had a break.
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? 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.
Yay, Croatia! We went there for our honeymoon, and I absolutely loved it. Any idea where you'd visit?

Probably just a city break to Dubrovnik for a week. Glad you loved it, I've heard amazing things about it. Do you have any recommendations?
We loved Dubrovnik! We stayed at the Bellevue for a treat, and it was really centrally located, and easy to walk. Really, we loved just eating at the sidewalk cafes in the old part of the city, and things like that. Walking the wall, down by the docks, lots of stuff! We were only there 4 days or so, but with a week, I'd look at a day trip to Montenegro, which is supposed to be beautiful. We also did a glass bottomed boat tour, which was cool. Lots to do there!

My first re appt is wedneday which now will be cd1 4. We have a camping trip scheduled for April, our 2nd trip with our new to us camper
1. Where are you in your journey? C6, CD 24, 7 DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Friday
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Given how I've been feeling the last few days, I don't think this is my cycle. One of my least favorite endo symptoms came back. General low-grade nausea that just doesn't stop. At least I'll lose weight while I can't keep much of anything down.
4. What is your next vacation? I don't even know. The plan is to go to New Orleans at some point. If nothing else, we have a bunch of weekend camping trips planned.

Ugh, I am so sorry for the nausea! That is awful.
I hope you make it out to NOLA - what a fun place!

Thanks. I'll be okay. Just venting. It was only today that I realized why I've been feeling so sick for the past few days.
I can't wait to hear about how your marathon goes! I have lots of friends into running, and while I'll never get it the appeal, I'm in absolute awe of people that can do full marathons.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Nov 2013, cycle #1 TTCAL, Clomid cycle #5?, CD 25 1 dpo I think 2. Are you testing this week? Nope 3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? DH had to go on a business trip during the weekend and it was right in my FW. I decided to tag along. We had a great time but only managed to BD every other day so it appears we are at O O-2 and O-4. We tried on O-1 and O-3 as well but DH couldn't finish. 4. What is your next vacation? Not sure. Probably London with my mum in April and then Barcelona with DH in May? Unless I tag along with DH when he goes to Basel in March. We're also thinking about Croatia for June or July maybe. Hard to fit it all in with my vacation time since we will probably go to Vancouver again at some point this year (we did October last year so I would preger this years trip to be earlier)
1. Where are you in your journey? since H went on a business trip I wasn't paying attention- CD 31, could be anywhere from 5-10 DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I'm out of fucks this week
4. What is your next vacation? No clue right now.... I did Africa and Hawaii the last 2 years, and then we bought a house and we MIGHT stick close to home this year to replenish our savings. I'd be hugely interested in NOLA, Portland OR, camping in Yellowstone or hitting the Appalachian Trail this year
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I am on day 20 of my first cycle with clomid and still no O. Doc said it could happen as late as day 22, but around day 14 I had serious cramps, so I wonder if I ovulated and the tests just did not pick it up? Or if I am not ovulating at all? Though in the past, the cheap generic OPKs have all indicated that I have. I am over-analyzing everything and just want my next cycle to start so I can try this again and see what is going on.
4. What is your next vacation? We have to wait to see how much we get back in taxes (still waiting on one stupid form!)but we will do one of the following this year: Hawaii, California coastal trip, Croatia/Greece or Turkey, or Key West. Key west is our backup as it is cheapest, Mediterranean is most expensive. Hawaii and Coastal California (maybe a Mushe meetup finally??) are in the middle since I will be in San Diego in June for work anyway, so tickets there and back are paid for.
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!
I pretty much want to say ditto to every single thing belle55 said: 1. TTCAL, Cycle 4, I think we are at 7 DPO 2. I want to start testing now lol, but will try to wait until the weekend. 3. I've also been sick since the weekend and am finally starting to feel better. H is convinced that this was our cycle, but I'm trying to keep my expectations low just in case. 4. We are heading up to DC Friday night and have a hotel up there, but that's not a big vacation. H's birthday is at the end of March and is a few days before our EDD and I want to try to plan a fun trip for that - both to do something nice for him, but also to hopefully keep my mind of the EDD.
3. I am considering doing an IUI soon, maybe this cycle. I am waiting for my doctor to call me back tomorrow to answer my questions about it. I have very mixed feelings about what I want to do going forward. Also, I have my first acupuncture appointment on Friday, I'm looking forward to it.
4. I am going to Charleston, SC in April. My parents recently bought a vacation home near there and we are doing a big family trip over spring break.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTCAL, Post-MC "cycle" 1, CD 26, 10dpo. Just waiting for AF to arrive, *hopefully* this weekend.
2. Are you testing this week? Nope. Unless I'm really late, I guess you never really know since we were NTNP.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Just hope that AF arrives on time. Its seems to have been a fairly 'regular'-looking cycle. I'm glad I charted it out to monitor what my body has been up to.
4. What is your next vacation? Hoping to rent a cottage some time this summer, but that's it, nothing exciting on the horizon.
Mushe so exciting for your first full! Any ideas which you might choose?
Whoops, I missed this, sorry! I settled on a full in Santa Cruz, CA. I thought it'd be a great place for a mini-vacation/long weekend away, and have a few friends who did it and reported good things. It's a little hilly, but only climbs ~750 feet over the whole thing, when the half I have done a few times climbs ~900, so I think it's manageable.
