1. TTC since Jan 2012, Cycle 23 TTCAL, CD10 2. Nope 3. Surgery tomorrow to remove the tissue mass in my ute...good riddance! 4. Watching sports/going to sporting events, baking, traveling, watching tv
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.

HoneySpider, I'll be sending lots of good thoughts your way for the surgery!

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 2 CD 21, 5DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I am trying my best not to symptom spot and am trying to keep busy until it is time to test. I am cohosting a bridal shower this weekend and my two grad classes have a lot of work to do this week. I'm glad for the distraction but I cannot believe I have to wait another week to test!
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? I like to read (although now I mostly listen to audio books because I have other reading to do for my classes), cook, watch tv, and pretty much just relax. My H works late most nights so I really cherish our weekends together and try not to be overly busy during them
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 15, CD24, FF says 12dpo....and I'm not so sure. 2. Are you testing this week? I tested yesterday and got a BFN. 3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? Stress at the beginning of the cycle and lack of sleep made my temps alllllll wonky. I know FF thinks I ovulated on CD12, but I didn't get a positive OPK until CD13. I'm trying not to get upset about yesterday's BFN. I'll retest on Friday...maybe. 4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? Dance, workout, read fashion magazines, watch movies, play Sims Freeplay on my I-Pad, hang out with my hubby, decorate our new house.
HoneySpider FX this is IT for you! Tissue be GONE! @moonbeam MIL stuff sounds.....not that great. Sorry
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since 1/2014, Cycle 3 TTCAL, CD 29
2. Are you testing this week? BFN on Monday night, but I'm still hoping
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I'm just frustrated. I get hopeful every cycle, and then when it doesn't work I start to think it never will happen for us.
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? Reading, movies, cooking and baking.
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time?
1. TTCAL Cycle 5, CD1. 2. Nope. 3. Crabby. Eff CD1. I'm so sick of this. 2nd month in a row that our timing was great and still BFN. Debating whether to forgo temping and/or OPKs this month and just see what happens. I really want a 2015 baby and now theres only 2 cycles left for that to happen. Also looking into acupuncture. 4. Exercise, read, Netflix/DVR, drinking. And travel when we have the time/funds.
1. Cycle 16, cd9, prepping for IUI #3, first IUI with injectables 2. Will start OPK's tomorrow. 3. Nothing really. I've become kind of emotionless about the whole TTC thing lately. I just go through the motions expecting a BFN every cycle. 4. Watching tv, shopping, hanging out with DH and the pups, sewing, home projects, traveling
3. We could have had decent timing this month if we had done it last night, but DH's friend called to tell him that his wife is pregnant. This was just such a turn off. This friend is an idiot (for a variety of reasons) and got married to this girl so she could have health insurance because she quit her job after being together for about 6 months. So they figured, let's try for a baby! According to him they were about to give up trying because they had been trying for sooooo long. She still isn't employed and he isn't the most financially savvy person, so...yeah. I had a complete fit of "this isn't fair!" last night. I think I'm just anxious because I'm having my diagnostic surgery at the end of the month.
4. Crochet, knit, read, scrapbook, run, cycle, too much stuff!!!
3. I am so frustrated. I had decided that I was going to do an IUI this cycle with clomid (would have been first IUI, 4th clomid). My doctor's office didn't send a prior approval for my clomid prescription in time, despite multiple phone calls, and by then I missed the day I was supposed to start the medication. So basically I am out for this cycle already, because I highly doubt I will even ovulate without clomid. I am just getting so frustrated and worrying that this is never going to happen for me.
4. I like reading, watching movies and TV, playing with my dogs, traveling.

1. Where are you in your journey? cycle 16, CD24, 9DPO
2. Are you testing this week? probably not. i don't really test unless i'm late (which hasn't happened)
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? found out friday night at dinner my little sister is 11 wks. DH made up an excuse so we didn't have to sit around after eating and discuss. sobbed the whole way home. still feel nauseous whenever i think about it. not looking forward to finally telling my mom about our TTTC, but i'm gonna have to. because the second she wants to discuss her first grandchild (which KILLS me that it's not mine), i'll have to tell her i cannot talk about it, we've been trying over a year and oh yeah i've got an appt with the fertility doc in 2 weeks.
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? crochet mostly, and reading. i make scarves and hats in the fall/winter, and usually spring/summer gets taken up with blankets. the last 2 years it's been baby blankets, and this year doesn't seem much different. one day maybe it'll be for me.

1. Where are you in your journey? CD 23 Cycle 10 TTCAL TTC since Nov. 2013
2. Are you testing this week? Still on OPK's
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I spent the weekend with my cousin who is my pg guru and also a family practice D.O. She told me about 5 of her pt's who had tried IVF and the whole gammit of fertility tx and nothing worked but when they went gluten free, babies happened. So, I know what trick I will be trying next if this cycle is a bust. I mean what can it hurt.
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? Reading, watching tv shows, training for strongman comps, and playing with my dogs.
callmehales I'm so sorry! I missed that a pregnancy was actually why your sister wanted to see you last weekend. Just my two cents, but I have always been really open with my family about trying, and it's made it so much easier on me and them, that they don't say stupid things around me since they know I'm struggling. Wish I could give you a big hug!
belle55, I'm so sorry for CD1. It sucks to get your hopes up with great timing, and then there's the CD1 let down. Hugs to scm1011 too! I definitely know those kind of irrational upset days.

i didn't tell when we started trying because i didn't want to feel like they were expecting an announcement all the time.
then when it took longer i didn't tell them because i kept hoping that each cycle would be it, and i could surprise them!
and now i feel like telling them is just going to bring them down. and i hate that.

Yes, it's a hard and very personal decision. I hope I don't seem like I'm telling you what to do! It is kind of a downer, that's for sure. My sister is unceasingly positive on my chances, though, so when I'm feeling down, I call her, and she brings me up.

callmehales - I am so sorry. Your DH is awesome though for getting you out of there quickly. Please don't feel like you are letting anyone down though. This is not your fault. I wish I could give you a hug for real and not just a creepy internet stranger hug (although a IRL stranger hug would be creepy, too.)
cgpm - That situation definitely warrants an "It's not fair" meltdown. I feel like there should be an acronym for that from here on out - INF. Creepy internet hugs to you, too.
scm1011 - I am still hopeful for you. Is that weird?
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2, 3 losses, CD29
2. Are you testing this week? Nope, we have been avoiding this cycle.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? We are just waiting this cycle to be over so we can start TTCing again. I also have to go for another HCG bloodwork since my levels were at 10.8 this week. So close.
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? Reading, shopping (mainly for DD), Pinteresting (I totally made up that word), volunteering at DD's school and with our church,and binge watching BBC miniseries on Netflix.

callmehales I'm sorry, that just sucks. I totally feel you on telling your mom though. My mom has spent the last year attempting to use the jaws of life to pry what is going on with us not having kids out of both me and my sister. Noneya!

1. Where are you in your journey? - Cycle 24, CD27, 12DPO.
2. Are you testing this week? - I tested yesterday (10DPO), BFN. Our timing wasn't the best due to me ovulating late, so I'm not too hopeful. I'm pretty much just waiting for CD1 so we can start this all over again.
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? - I'm just incredibly discouraged at the moment over all of this. I'm basically counting down until our next RE appointment, in March/April timeframe, because I feel like I'm at the height of insanity. I just keep doing the same things, over and over, every month...and I keep expecting a different result. It's maddening.
4. When not peeking on OPK's/PG tests, what do you like to do in your spare time? - Trail Run, crochet, cook, travel, watch movies. I also really like to nap. Napping is awesome.

Sorry callmehales I can relate. My brother and SIL started trying after us and got pregnant on cycle 1. I am 99.9% sure they will have #2 (they are currently trying) before we have #1. It sucks. I feel like we are missing out on all of the "firsts" of anything since both sides of our families now have grandkids.

I have felt the same way. I have not told any family members about our TTC or the miscarriage because I hate the idea of other people sitting there and wondering what's going on and why its taking so long. And I my family members wouldn't know how to be supportive like others might be.
The few close friends I told when we started TTC have mostly not brought it up since, except one who assumed we had taken a break from it since it has been so long. That kinda stung. So now I feel even more like keeping it to myself. I just don't want to deal with the questions or the "have you tried this?" type of advice. I know we're doing everything we can and I have no reason to believe we can't get pregnant naturally since it has happened once.
I'm sorry about how you had to hear your sister's news. I wouldn't be taking it very well either. Tough spot to be in. Hugs!
3. I really hope the stomach flu I'm currently getting over doesn't mess with ovulation later this month.
4. Read, watch shows on Netflix, go walking with friends, play board games/card games and hang out with H. We've had plenty of quality time helping each other through the stomach flu... thank the Lord we have 2 toilets.

thanks ladies!! i am SO lucky that my 4 closest friends know we've been trying, and know i've been struggling with the timeline and they were SO amazing friday night when i told them. i really don't know how i'd have made it this long without their support.
and DH has 2 brothers, 1's a weirdo and still a virgin and one's living in a shady appt and is a perpetual 15 year old as far as maturity goes. so at least i'll still be first with MIL!
