1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 8/2013. Currently gearing up to start BCPs when I get my next AF and then start stims for IVF #2 a couple weeks after that. Should be retrieving around mid-May.
2. Are you testing this week? Nope, pretty sure I just O'd but I'm not charting anymore and no treatment this cycle.
3. Thoughts? Concerns? Just bummed out in general lately. Some TTC-related, some not.
4. Easter Plans? Neighborhood egg hunt on Saturday. We might go to a new (to us) church on Sunday, then going to DH's second cousin's house for an early Easter dinner.
1. Cycle 19, CD 6 2. Not testing 3. I'm thinking we need to get the ball rolling with testing or something. H is resistant, but it's been so long.... 4. I plan to have a relaxing and restful weekend, go to church at some point (there are several services) and have my parents over. Also some shopping!
1. Where are you in your journey? TTCing since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD6
2. Are you testing this week? I'll start OPKs Saturday
3. Thoughts? Concerns? DH and I had a long talk about how much longer we will continue with TTCing before we explore other options. We might not do IUI or IVF because everything will be OOP. We still haven't decided how long to give it.
4. Easter Plans? Low key day. Church, lunch with inlaws and an egg hunt for DD. The rest of the day will be delegated to laying on the couch watching tv.
1. TTCAL Cycle 6, 10dpo 2. Yes, probably 12dpo at the earliest. 3. My breasts were pretty sore about a week ago, so I was feeling pretty optimistic. That's since gone away so I'm not so sure anymore. But the last time I got a bfp, I had pretty much no symptoms. I don't know what to think anymore. I'll be pretty bummed if I get a bfn this cycle as I feel like we gave it a really good shot. We talked about looking into testing next cycle if we're out, so I'm nervous about taking that next step. 4. We aren't religious but did get invited to a family member's for dinner so that will be nice. Not much else planned.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 2012, TTCAL Cycle 24?
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts? Concerns? I'd really like my period to show up, my cycle is all jacked from the estrogen pills but I stopped them about a week and a half ago so I hope things regulate soon. Otherwise, just anxious to get started with IVF.
4. Easter Plans? My parents, brother, SIL & niece are coming down to visit for the first time since we moved here about 5 months ago, we're excited! Actual Easter plans include brunch, walking around to see the monuments and cherry blossoms, dinner out, and then relaxing and playing games.
CD10, We'll start the marathon tonight. (TTC #3, this is cycle 4)
2. Are you testing this week?
Lots of cheapie OPKs and I bought the Advanced CB OPK even though I don't think it's going to show me anything that the regular ones don't.
3. Thoughts? Concerns?
I really, really want a Christmas baby - the timing of the maternity leave would be so perfect for a ton of reasons. If this month doesn't work, I have an appointment with my doctor next week to figure out a game plan - likely IUI with possible injects. We're only going to try for another few months and it scares me to death that it won't happen.
3. Egg retrieval is Friday! Yesterday I had 17 follies, and a bunch were good size. I'll probably trigger tomorrow night. I'm just excited to not have to do injections for a bit. I got a nasty bruise last night from doing them. It is UGLY.
And I have to remember to keep my head in reality. I'm all "I'm gonna be pregnant next month!" but I'm trying to force myself to remember that it might not work. So hard.
2. I'm pretty sure my OPK was positive this morning, but I'll test tomorrow and Thursday to be sure.
3. FF is freaking out. I had a dip and then spike in temp (I maybe was fighting a cold) and it was telling me that I O'd on CD 9. This is my first cycle post surgery, so I guess it could be wonky, but I usually ovulate right around CD 15-16. Next day, it was all like, no, have not O'd yet. I was afraid I missed it with OPKs, but I think we're ok. If I O tomorrow, I will end up with O, O-2, and O-3. Fingers crossed!
4. Easter with my family on Saturday and DH's family on Sunday. Easter is my favorite holiday, so yay!
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 11, CD27, 12DPO.
2. Are you testing this week? Yes. Took a HPT on Sunday (10dpo) and today (12dpo) and got BFN both times. Trying to stay positive as AF is due on Thursday-ish and I haven't had any PMS symptoms yet. Really hoping for this Easter miracle...
3. Thoughts? Concerns? Just been obsessed with "this is the month!" all week. It's been hard to concentrate on everything else I've got going on. If I'm not pregnant this month, then I'm out for 2015. I get very hung up on dates and times and all I can see is the lost time.
4. Easter Plans? Church in the morning and then dinner with my extended family. After that, DH and I have tickets to see Phantom of the Opera (didn't plan to do it on Easter - just didn't realize the date when I bought the tickets!)
2. Are you testing this week? Just opks, probably starting this weekend. I don't usually O til CD21-ish, so it's probably a waste.
3. Thoughts? Concerns? I have nothing that doesn't sound whiny
4. Easter Plans? dinner with the ILs I think. I invited my family to come visit, but my brother is working 2 part time jobs and couldn't get off, and my parents don't want to leave him alone.
1. Cd 24 7dpo as well. Ttc since June '13 ttcal cycle 6 2. Yes this weekend 3. I have my follow up re appointment on Monday to see what he thinks now that all my tests and Hs tests are done. Everything came back normal other than my pcos dx which I already had so that's good. 4. Dinner sat with my family not sure what we will do for Easter
1. Cycle 4 TTCAL #4, CD 9 2. Nope 3. These next couple of months are weighing heavily on me. I thought for sure I'd be properly pregnant by the time the anniversary of losing our daughter rolled around in May. But I'm not, and I also haven't been able to conceive as easily following my second early m/c in December. I don't know what's going on with my body, but I'm feeling pretty broken right now. I miss V and I can't believe I've had to go almost a year of my life without her. It's fucking unfair. 4. No plans for Easter this year. I might make a lamb roast.
3. Thoughts? Concerns? Anyone else torture themselves with searching Pinterest for nursery themes? No? Just me?
4. Easter Plans? Not religious, but we are looking forward to a great festival on Saturday that should have some delicious food. I love food festivals.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Jan 2014. CD26, 8(ish) DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Maybe? I am not feeling confident about this month as H was OOT during part of the FW. We might have gotten O-1 if fertility friend is accurate re: O day. I didn't start temping until CD14 and FF says O CD17 with positive OPK CD15.
3. Thoughts? Concerns? I got put on Progesterone yesterday to take from O until AF or if we conceive continue Progesterone through first tri. My doctor said my progesterone was normal last month (9.7 at 8DPO), but she thinks maybe I have a large drop which causes the spotting, so hopefully this will help.
4. Easter Plans? None. H has been working crazy hours lately and we will likely just hang out and relax at home.
1. Cycle 24 day 11 2. Nope 3. I'm starting to feel a little jealous of those moving on to REs and having a plan. I don't resent H at all, but I am a little sad we're still where we started. He just wants to wait to we finish the craziness of the house/my grad school/ new puppy, which makes sense. I was ready a year ago, but I know further interventions need to wait until he's processed and ready. 4. working around the house all day, followed by family dinner.
