[jessnpaul]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 23 (ugh!), 18dpo. Betas were negative on 14dpo. Not sure when CD1 will show. (ETA: CD1 just showed up!)

2. Testing this week? Nope

3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns? I'm trying not to focus on IF so much. Not easy, but I'm doing everything within my control and that's the best I can do, so I need to let it go.

4. What are you looking forward to in April? Appointment with a new (hopefully better?) RE at the end of the month. I feel like I want to give it one last hurrah.

[mpc]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 9, CD 14

2.  Testing this week? I *think* I ovulated yesterday... I am going to keep doing opks for a little while just in case I'm mistaken.

3.  Thoughts?  Advice?  Concerns? I usually have longer cycles , so we weren't expecting me to O on time for once. Which means we really didn't have much sex until it was maybe too late. All I can say is damn. I wonder if this was a better egg than normal, then I get depressed thinking we might've missed our best chance . Who knows. 

4.  What are you looking forward to in April? We are going on vacation next week! wooo!

[daisy]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 10, CD16, 3 DPO

2.  Testing this week? nope, 2WW just started

3.  Thoughts?  Advice?  Concerns? We'll see what happens. Timing was good but it's been good several other times.

4.  What are you looking forward to in April? Game of Thrones, a 3 day weekend, and pretty weather.

[Mushe]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #2 since 3/2014, two losses.  CD8, so just took my last Letrozole and started temping again.  Started IF treatment last cycle; hoping H's bloodwork is back in time to do an IUI.  Still planning to wait on injectables until June, because of work commitments. 

2. Testing this week?
I guess I'll start cheapie OPKs on Thursday or so. 

3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns?
I'm just super blah.  We're looking for a new, bigger house, but I feel like it's kind of daring the universe so I won't get pregnant.  Not sure I could handle it if we had these empty rooms.

4. What are you looking forward to in April?
Marathon training is going great!  I'm having a blast with it.  Two more long run weekends and then it's taper time!

[loira]

1. TTCAL#4
2. It's O day for me today, so just an OPK this morning.
3. This is our hail mary cycle before our RPL appointment and loss anniversary. I'm pretty desperate for this to be the one for us, but trying to prepare myself (and mostly failing) if it's not.
4. I'm visiting my friend this weekend up north, plus another friend from Canada is coming to visit at the end of the month.

[Mushe]

WTF scm1011! How rude. I get the 'about time for another?' from randos at work, so I've started saying 'I'm working on it!' which shuts them right up.

Huge hugs, jessnpaul. I hope the new RE has good ideas for another shot at it.

Yes, GOT, daisy! I forgot about that!

[cgpm]

1. Cycle 20, CD 21, 7 DPO

2. I may or may not have POAS this morning, knowing full well it was going to be negative. But my Wondfos expire at the end of the month so I figure I can pee on as many things as I want this month. Lol!

3. We are starting appointments for IVF. We have our consent appointment and some additional testing in the next month or so and then we'll likely have our first cycle in June or early July. Nervous and excited for this all at the same time.

4. We are headed to Arizona/the Grand Canyon for a week at the end of the month. After years of my mom saying she wanted to go, we are going!

[HoneySpider]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 2012, 1 loss

2. Testing this week? Nope

3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns? Had IVF class this morning which was pretty good, we meet with the RE again next week and then looks like we'll be starting early May

4. What are you looking forward to in April? Going to Phoenix for a friend's wedding. We used to live there and it's our first visit back

I've thought about saying that, but I fear that would just open myself up to more questions. My family has some boundary issues lol. Sorry you deal with that from co-workers. WTF is wrong with people?

Bahahaha, yes, you have to know your audience!  Lol.  These coworkers just feel invested in me, I guess, since they were around me for #1?

[knx9211]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 6, 8DPO


2. Testing this week? I had 7DPO bloodwork Monday to determine if I'm having progesterone issues - Dr. ordered it since my LP has been 7-10 days. If AF doesn't show up, I won't test until Sunday or Monday. We'll have a house full of guests and don't want to find out with them there if it comes to that. My post-O temps have been uncharacteristically high, but that doesn't mean anything.


3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns? I really hope it works. Between getting to hold my cousin's 3 month old baby and watching home videos of us under the age of 4 this weekend, I am feeling anxious and emotional.


4. What are you looking forward to in April? Warmer weather. It's been a long winter.

[belle55]

1. TTCAL cycle 7, CD 3
2. Nope.
3. Talking with OB friday. Ready but nervous about any testing we may/may not do. What if we don't get any answers? What if we do and it's bad?
4. Warmer weather, planting my flower garden, dogsitting next week.

[knx9211]

belle55 - Best of luck with your appointment Friday - fingers crossed.

[Deleted]

1. Cycle 19, CD 13

2. Not testing

3. No thoughts

4. I'm looking forward to going to a wedding next week .

[grover]

Cycle 24, cd 18 gearing up to O
Not testing
nothing I haven't complained about in the past
spring break is this entire week. When I go back next week the countdown is on to summer!

[july]

Cycle 2 AL. CD9. Since mid 2014.

Maybe opks later this week.

I was pretty excited to ttc last month. That excitement got shot down with a negative test, screwy period, and the return of some loss grief. I can't get interested in it this month. We went out for sushi last month before/during the fw and we are doing it again this weekend. That will be fun.

Nothing really. I was excited about warmer weather, but sweated so much when running last night. I saw a good old friend recently and we are going to get lunch sometime this month. I hope we make it a routine thing.

[raangoli]

TTCAL Cycle 7 14DPO

No

Going to sit this cycle out due other stuff that came up. It just bums me out that it's another cycle lost.

I have my first race (8k) [plantar fasciitis sidelined me for 1.5 years] in a week which I just hope to finish. Other than that, just looking forward to ditching my winter jacket.

[kellikans]

1. TTC since December 2013, IVF cycle #1, 4 days post ER

2. Nope

3. Waiting for tomorrow for the report on how many blastocysts we have that made it to day 5. Hoping we get a good report with enough to freeze for FET next month.

4. My birthday!

[callmehales]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since jan 2014.  CD5


2. Testing this week?
nope.  probably no testing at all for awhile


3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns?
 we're mentally and financially gearing up for IVF in august.  we found out yesterday from the RE that with DH's SA numbers, it's our only option.  we have another meeting with RE in 2 weeks, and DH will probably schedule another SA just to make sure.  but right now we're going with the assumption that IVF will be our only option for a bio child.


4. What are you looking forward to in April?
 i'm in a close friend's wedding next weekend in CA, and DH and i are going out a few days early to make it a longer visit.  

[HoneySpider]

FX for a good report kellikans!

[macmars45]

1. Cycle 8 or 9 cd 9

2. Just OPKs starting tomorrow.

3. No. Just annoyance in good timing getting me nothing but my stupid period every damn month.

4. Actually not much. Just life settling down. Late Jan-March were super busy stressful months. I'm ready for down time.

[mandiespharm]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cd11 IUI #2 is tomorrow
2.  Testing this week? Nope
3.  Thoughts?  Advice?  Concerns? I'm trying very hard to not be stressed out about this. It's very hard to do that but I think that it doesn't contribute well to TTC.
4.  What are you looking forward to in April? Not sure what is going on this month. The last two weeks have been kind of crazy and I'm looking forward to just having less to do except for gardening if the weather ever changes!!

[ginkgoleaf]

1. TTC #2 since 8/13. 1 loss. Should get AF this weekend and then will start BCPs to kick off our second IVF cycle. First with new RE.

2. Nope

3. Ready to get this IVF thing started! I'm hoping this new RE does the trick!

4. DS' birthday is Saturday, then we're going to Disney and to see family next week. My birthday is also at the end of the month.

[mskitkat]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 10, CD 12.

2. Testing this week? No

3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns? I'm somewhat obsessed over my cw's "you look pregnant!" comment. My system is being all screwy this month, too. Weird temp spikes, EWCM when I really shouldn't have it. I don't even know. Sometimes too much data is a bad thing.

4. What are you looking forward to in April? BiL & SiL are coming to visit in a couple weeks. I adore them.

[Ace]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 7, CD 20, 4 DPO. First cycle TTCAL.

2. Testing this week? No.

3. Thoughts? Advice? Comments? Not really, I'm just trying to focus on other stuff right now.

4. What are you looking forward to in April? DH and I are going to a Jeep off road event this weekend. My BFF's birthday is later this month an we were supposed to go on a trip (destination is tbd) but I'm not really feeling it right now.

[vanillahip]

1. Where are you in your journey? Ttc since fall '13, cd 1 should be any second (omg my back is killing me)

2. Testing this week? Nope, no treatments last month and we have almost no chance of getting pregnant without

3. Thoughts? Advice? Concerns? I NEED AF to show earlier than later, please please today/tomorrow?? If it's earlier then we have a solid chance at cycling next month (thanks to H's work travel sched) if it's later we're likely screwed out of another cycle. FX that with my next round of baseline tests our RE is on board for more IUIs before any IVF. My work is covering any OOP treatment costs because they're PISSED that our insurance doesn't cover it (possible bait and switch type situation with our crook agent), but it's coming to me as taxable bonuses and holy shit our taxes next year are gonna suck...

4. What are you looking forward to in April?
Seeing what comes up in the yard- we bought our house in August/ September last year so any spring bloomers will be a total surprise. Tomorrow it should be warm enough to open all the windows again and the way our house was designed (midcentury modern atrium style ranch) we get the best airflow, it's amaaaaazing! I can't wait to do it every day!

[Mushe]

vanillahip - I'm liking your post because that kind of support from your work is so great! I hope things work out with your husband's travel schedule, and the house sounds awesome.

[vanillahip]

Mushe yeah, I am so so thankful for them right now. (Not all the time, I mean I've neen in near indentured servitude here for almost 13 years ha! But right now I'm super greatful).
