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? cycle 16, cd15, just did IUI #3 this morning
2. Are you testing this week? nope
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? just really hoping this IUI works. if not, we'll have to decide whether or not to do one more or move on to IVF. and a little vent: I have a friend (well, a friend's wife) who knows about our IF struggle. they had problems too, adopted and then got pregnant on their own. anyway, she's one of the few that knows that we're doing treatments. she's been very manipulative in the past with friends/her husband's family (she even stole our baby name), and she's very interested in our infertility. I don't know if she has ulterior motives or if she feels special because she's one of the few that knows, but it's beginning to irk me. some friends of ours are having a baby (actually in labor right now) and another one of our friends commented that she can't wait to see the baby. and this girl tries to create something out of nothing saying that she feels bad for me when people comment about babies on FB and she understands blah blah blah. and I didn't even take that comment that way. what bothers me is when she's posting on FB CONSTANTLY about how great it is being a mom to her two adorable "cutakins" ALL THE EFFING TIME. yeah, that's rubbing it in my face waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than one of my good friends being excited about meeting my other good friend's baby. /rant
4. What's your favorite clothing store to purchase date outfits for outings with your DH? hm, I don't really shop for date outfits often. I would say my nicer going out clothes I get at either Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack, H&M, even Target. I'm not fancy, lol. I tend to wear nice jeans or dressy black pants, a black top and heels.
MrsMB thinking of you and your H, and hoping for a quick and easy surgery. If you need more anecdotes, let me know.
Any anecdotes are appreciated Thank you for the well wishes!
Okay! Mine is super old, but my dad had a varicocele discovered when they were TTC #2 (me!). His surgery was quick, and they got pregnant quickly thereafter.

I'll take it!! (Thank you) Yes, speaking (over the interwebs) with someone who followed a successful surgery is appreciated!

she is. but DH keeps telling me that maybe she means well. I'm not so sure.
Men often don't get it. I have a reverse thing, where the wife of H's friend is inadvertently insensitive to me about TTC and loss. MH gets mad at her, and I just can't get it up to be mad, because I honestly think she doesn't know better.

1. TTCAL Cycle 5, CD 7. 2. Will start OPKs over the weekend. 3. I'm not temping this cycle. I'm just going to do OPKs. I need a break from the constant chart stalking and reading into every temp. I noticed I wasn't sleeping as well toward the end of my last cycle because I'd be anxious about what my temp would be when I woke up (still high? below the cover line?) so I just need a mental break from it. 4. We don't really do fancy dates but I like express, banana republic, Nordstrom rack.

Blurg, I'm sorry about the prolactin, and the fasting test. I hope you get some answers soon.

2. Are you testing this week? Maybe on Saturday (CD30)
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? I had a chemical pregnancy in August 2014 and the symptoms were sore boobs and abdominal pressure. I did a new work out on Saturday and it's making my chest and abdominal hurt so I can't tell if I have pregnancy symptoms or if I just overdid the work out. I keep telling myself it can't be the work out, it's been four days. But then, what if it is the work out and I'm getting my hopes up - a viscous cycle.

Just starting
Haven't tested this week. BFN 2 weeks ago but am 3wks late :/
No real vents other than I am tired of living in our apartment and kind of wish we hadn't sold our house. Plus the dog is getting hot spots and not enough exercise
Favorite item is hard, but I found this super cute onsie with long sleeves it is blue plaid with paisley on the cuffs/collars. H is not impressed but I love it and it is unisex so it works
Ok I read the last item wrong not favorite item to date. Favorite place for date clothes .... Favorite place for clothes is Nordstorm Rack all the way esp since they are online now
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 19, cycle day 5
2. Are you testing this week? No, I will start with OPKs next week
3. Any thoughts, vents, etc.? As I am with the start of each new cycle, I am feeling hopeful again and a little less depressed. I guess I think "here is a whole new chance to get pregnant!" I am also looking forward to speaking with my new therapist today.
4. What's your favorite clothing store to purchase date outfits for outings with your DH? We don't really have date outfits. Our dates are casual--to the pub or brewery, to the movies. I cannot think of the last time we got all dressed up, we are not that kind of a couple (unless it is for a wedding or something!)
