1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD27, 10 DPO
2. Testing this week? Tested this morning- BFN. I'll test again tomorrow.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I usually don't test so early but we are leaving early Saturday morning for vacation so I would like to get my betas done if I am pregnant, but if I'm not then I need to get my Clomid prescription to start while out of town.
4. Favorite spring recipe? I love grilled veggies and chicken. Also all of the best fruit is about to be in season.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 3/2014, two losses. 6DPO
2. Testing this week? Nope.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I am so worn down by this whole process! I need to get scheduled for an injects class, so we can start that when we're ready, possibly next cycle.
4. Favorite spring recipe? Hmmmm, IDK. The lemon cheesecake pie I made for Easter was a hit! I got it from Hezzid's blog.
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.
3. Just can't wait until we can do our FET. Still trying to figure out the best time to do it. Have my first post-retrieval appointment with my RE on Monday, so we'll discuss then.
4. I don't cook often enough to have a favorite spring recipe.
2. Yes, but only because I am going to take provera starting Friday.
3. Since it is CD 43 and I have yet to get either a +OPK or a temp shift I will be taking provera as of Friday to jump start AF. I had a phone consultation with my OB yesterday and he looked at my charts and he thinks that I may be a weak ovulator and that's why I am ovulating all over the place. He thinks that I should move forward, if we are ready, and try clomid. (That's why the delay in jump starting my cycle, because he wants me to be either just starting my cycle at our next appointment or get it shortly after.)
4. Do I have to choose just one? Lol, I love everything that you grill on the bbq. (We do grill all year but we grill 10x more in the spring/summer.)
Nope. I have an 11 day LP so I will test if I am late next Tuesday. This weekend is busy so it should go by quickly. I am not as obsessive as last month.
I was worried about whether I ovulated and I have had five days above the coverline, so I figured I did. I had good timing. O, -1, -2, -5. Today, I rescheduled the gyn appointment to next month. I had a weird period last month and I wanted to see if it repeated. I also was worried about lame loss related stuff.
I don't classify recipes by season, but I love homemade pizza.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 9, CD 28, 7DPO?
2. Testing this week? Maybe this weekend.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I did bloodwork this cycle and I think I screwed it up. CD3 timing was fine, lol. But I messed up the one for ovulation. And then I was out of town with no orders to repeat it on the correct day. Then my OB has you do the 3rd one at 7 days after the +opk, which ended up being maybe 5-6 DPO. Whatever. They haven't contacted me with any results. I'm going to call tomorrow. I wonder if they will have me do it again next month. I was so looking forward to getting these test results and I'm so mad at myself that I messed it up.
mpc- my OB said that as long as the 7 DPO was taken 5 days after you O then it shouldn't be too far off. If your OB says your levels are a little low for 7DPO just make sure she is aware that it was done 5DPO.
1. IVF #1! Currently 3dp5dt 2. Peeing on all the things. Still have my HCG booster hanging out. 3. I'm very scared. And excited. But mostly scared. 4. Anything lemon

1. Where are you in your journey? Trying since Nov. 2013; CD 4 here
2. Testing this week? Starting Clomid tomorrow, planning on IUI #3 this cycle
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Starting to think of next steps if this doesn't work for H and starting to freak out a little.
4. Favorite spring recipe? Any dessert with fresh fruit. Angel food cake and strawberries, I have a really good strawberry torte recipe, a good lemon cake recipe, and a good pound cake recipe that I add fresh berries and homemade whipped cream.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, this is our second medicated cycle. 9 DPO (I think)
2. Testing this week? Yes, negative so far, but historically I've either gotten my first BFP or my period 11 DPO. I don't feel super positive about this cycle.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I wish potential early pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms weren't basically exactly the same.
4. Favorite spring recipe? Does ice cream count? What if I add hot fudge? That's a recipe, right?
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since September '14, CD10
2. Testing this week? No. Temping/charting/OPKing hasn't been good for my mental health. So I'm just letting it ride this month.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I was having relatively short LPs since going off of the pill, so my doctor ordered blood work a few weeks ago. My progesterone and thyroid came back normal, so she ordered a SA for DH. Looks like all is well there, too. She should be calling me tomorrow and wanting to schedule an HSG, so hopefully I can get that in soon. I'm just feeling really emotional today.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 17, CD23, 13dpo
2. Testing this week? Maybe on Thursday.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Work stress/schedule (and HORRIBLE eating as a result) may have thrown off my cycle. I got a positive OPK way early...and copius EWCM while getting negatives immediately following. (I took both Wondfo and digitals.) I wish I knew what was going on. I got a BFN yesterday morning on a Wondfo. Because my cycles average 25 days, I'm going to wait two more days to test again. www.fertilityfriend.com/home/44a9e3
4. Favorite spring recipe? I don't know that I have a specific one. I like salads with fresh fruit.
GL to all doing IVF, IUI, Injectibles, natural...basically all of us trying. Need some BFP's!
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? We're moving into our house this weekend after six months of renovations, and even though it's going to be stressful and a lot of work, I am so excited! We bought a major fixer-upper historic home in our dream neighborhood, and I can't believe we're finally moving in.
4. Favorite spring recipe? I love grilling vegetables drizzled in balsamic. You can throw them in a salad, as a side dish, on a sandwich, eat them cold the next day...
1. Cycle 9 ttc #3, cd 12...waiting for af to start bcp for surgery 5/15 (polyp removal. Awesome.)
2. Nope
3. I hate this and feeling like I do lately. I was so hoping this time around we would be one of those couples who magically became pregnant within 3 months of ttc.
1. TTCAL Cycle 7, CD 17 2. No 3. I got a new job! I've been a ball of anxiety this past week as my current employer was pretty shocked by my notice and counter offered. I am taking the new gig though as I need a change. Only a few days left at my current job and it truly is bittersweet. We opted to take this cycle off due to the change and needing to get settled into my new job a bit. Not sure how soon we'll pick up ttc again. We should be getting SA results this week but I'm going to hold off on my testing a few months yet I think. 4. Fresh fruit...but all year round
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since January '14. 1 loss. Cycle 12, CD 19.
2. Testing this week? Nope.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? If I'm not pregnant this cycle, I'm going to contact the fertility specialist DH saw and see if I can get in. I did get pregnant once, so half of me thinks that I should be fine. But then again, we got pregnant in the first cycle last time and now it's been nearly year...I just worry something's wrong or got messed up during my D&C or something. (Probably irrational, but there you go.)
4. Favorite spring recipe? I'm not much of a cook (that's DH's thing) so I don't have a specific thing. But I do like how in spring and summer food gets "lighter," y'know? More vegetable/fruit dishes rather than hearty stews and such.

All I have is that today is CD1. On to cycle 3 of iui. Same protocol. I'm annoyed. I'm sad. I'm hormonally unbalanced. I'm pissed off. You name it it's how I feel. So I'm trying very hard to focus on work today but it's not as busy as it has been so it's hard.
