1. TTC #2 since 8/2013. Started stims last night for IVF #2.
2. Nope, just monitoring appointment on Friday.
3. Loving the baby boom on here and TTTC
4. We're going to Jackson Hole over the 4th of July, which we do every year. Everything else is on hold because we want to be around for fertility treatments if we need more of them.
1. Cycle 19, CD 34 or 35 2. Not testing, I haven't tested in 6 months. I don't want to waste tests. If AF doesn't start in a week then I'll test. I'm having cramps, so I think it will be in the next couple of days - my cycles are long. 3. It has been a long time trying, but I feel like our timing was only good for maybe half of the past 18 months. I have other health issues that make me not want to see an RE yet, and H is resistant as well, so I'm postponing. Maybe I'm just in denial. 4. No trips planned so far, but I think both of us could really use a vacation.
@moonbeam- do you temp or anything, I can't remember? If not you could give that a try and it would kinda be a step forward without getting to much further ahead. (If that makes any sense.)

That's a good idea. I want to be more proactive but wasn't sure how. I don't temp, I just wait until I see the EWCM and then have sex that day and 1 or 2 days after. It has been a very laid-back approach thus far. I'm starting to wonder if we should be concerned, but truly I don't know if I have the mental stamina for that yet.

1. Where are you in your journey? - cycle 28, CD3
2. Testing this week? - Nope, I start Femara today, then will start OPKs around CD10
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? - IUI#2 is gearing up, and I'm just ambivalent. It would be great if we got pregnant, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? - Key West for Memorial Day, Washington DC for the 4th of July, and possibly a trip to NYC for DH's bday. We're also planning Reno for Labor Day!
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 10, CD 3 UGH.
2. Testing this week? Nope.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? The end of this cycle will mark 1 year since we started trying. That's... rough. My doc says we can do Clomid if/when we decide we're ready. I think I'm going to talk to her about it for next month.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Nothing big. We just got back from a week in the Smoky Mountains.

1. Where are you in your journey? cycle 20(?), CD5
2. Testing this week? i probably won't be testing anything until september for IVF#1
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? it feels so weird doing NOTHING TTC-wise. i stopped temping during our clomid cycle, and then found out we'll be moving straight to IVF. so until we start our cycle in august/sept, i feel...nothing about TTC. it's strange.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? a friend wants me to visit her in RI, but she works in tv so july is probably out, i work for an arena football team and our season doesn't end until halfway through june (then hopefully playoffs and a championship) and then august i'll be prepping for IVF. sooooo....i dunno if it's gonna happen.
Nope. Might start OPK next week, but I am traveling so that seems like a waste.
I feel like the universe is fighting me on this wanting to have a baby thing. It will be 3 cycles since we were last able to try in earnest because of circumstances beyond our control.
No, I should figure something out as we had to cancel our spring vacation.
2. Testing this week? OPKs, expecting a + today or tomorrow.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? It's FW and we're going at it EOD. I'm very ready to have my normal sex life back.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Yes! We're going to Orlando for a week in June. We're doing 1 day at Universal/IoA (WWoHP!!!) and 1 day at Magic Kingdom. Then we'll be at a Con for the rest of the week. I'm really excited.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 3/2014 with 2 losses. CD4 of my first combo IUI cycle.
2. Testing this week? Newp
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Just ugh. I can't believe I'm here.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Just small ones. Santa Cruz long weekend for my marathon, hopefully a Tahoe long weekend, and another Tahoe weekend for Ragnar. Work is nuts right now on my project, so I'm not taking off much time.
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? TTC #1 since Nov. 2013; CD 12
2. Testing this week? OPKs and monitoring this week - IUI #3 this weekend or Monday most likely
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Just starting to worry about what comes next if this doesn't work out. But trying to stay positive about the cycle.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Nothing really planned since H and I didn't know where we would be with my job and TTC and treatments, etc. Thinking maybe a beach trip in the next couple weeks - and maybe a trip to New Orleans later this summer.
1. TTC since March 2013, CD 29 2. Probably not testing, I won't unless I am really late, the negatives depress me! 3. I am all set to do an IUI next cycle! I finally dealt with all of the insurance and paperwork and all of the little steps I needed to do first. 4. I don't have any big trips planned as of yet, but I am hoping to do something!
Hi ladies. I hope you don't mind me jumping back in. I posted infrequently back in the winter and early spring. I got a BFP in March but didn't make an announcement here since I wasn't an active poster. I was diagnosed with a mmc at 10 weeks (baby stopped growing at 6 weeks 3 days) and just had a D&C this morning. I believe we will start trying again in 2-3 months.
1. Where are you in your journey? D&C this morning after a missed miscarriage. Will be TTA for a few months.
2. Testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I'm trying to make the best of this shitty situation and am looking at this as an opportunity to lose some weight before we start trying again. I've gained over 30 pounds since the summer and feel unhealthy and sluggish.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Yes! Atlantic City for 4 days with my two best friends in June and then my H and I are heading to Negril, Jamaica for a week in July. I'm also hoping to squeeze in a weekend trip to Niagara Falls or DC.
scm1011, you probably know my vote already! Sign up! My TTTC consolation prize marathon is in less than 3 weeks, and it's really helped to keep my mind off things. I did sign up for one that was close in time, though, where I had to jump in to a plan a few weeks in, so maybe it's a little different, but not much.
raangoli, hugs! I hate that. We had some rough months where it seemed like everything timing wise was not working out. How's your mom doing?
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.
suzv, I saw that on the app, and I'm so, so sorry for your loss. You're not alone in that crappy club, and I'm thinking of you. We do an occasional loss check in, and are always happy to talk it through. I hope your procedure went as well as it could and that you recover quickly.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan. 2014, CD25, 3DPO
2. Testing this week? Nope, just hanging out in the 2WW.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? My cycles have changed SO much over the last 6-8 months and I am a bit worried. Even my doctor has commented about how regular my cycles have always been and especially since January they have become super irregular. I O every month but my LP is all over the place (ranges from 9-13 days), I have been temping and using OPK which is making me crazy too. I don't really know what the next step will be or what H and I will do if it comes to IUI/IVF/etc.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? We are going to North Carolina in August. And, we just bought a camper, so we'll be doing a lot of camping this summer! I am super excited for camping!
1. TTC since December 2013, IVF cycle #1, tentative transfer date 6/3
2. nope
3. transfer day seems like its so so far away. it'll be 2+ months from ER to ET. so hard for someone who is super impatient. and DH told me today that he will probably be out of town when I have my beta done.
4. we have our annual camping trip over Memorial Day weekend (that I hate going on). and I'm annoyed that we had to push back ET because of this trip. I don't want to make any other plans until I know if I'm pregnant or not. that way if we have to do another treatment cycle, we don't have to work around travel.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 4, 1 loss, cd 15
2. Testing this week? No, earliest i can test I think the 8th, i dont want to test to early.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I really wish my friends would quit telling me that opk's are "worrying" to much and thats why it hasnt happened. I like to plan things, i always have and having the opk tell me peak fertility was kind of comforting for me. Also, this is really the last cycle we can try until the end of the year. H will be out of town.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? YES Japan, my mother in law will stay with ds and i get to go to japan to see my h!

Hugs to those who need it!
1) ttc since 2/13. Cd9 of iui #3. Day 4 of clomid 2) nope no testing iui is tentatively set for Tuesday of next week 3) not a whole lot. Just trying to stay as unstressed as possible. 4) Rhode Island for my birthday in August. Other than that I have two half marathons planned IF I get cleared to run with my knee
1. TTCAL Cycle 7, CD 23. Didn't track O this cycle so not sure how many DPO. 2. Nope. 3. We are taking a break from TTC for a few months as I start a new job Monday. Not sure if we'll wait until I would be solidly past a year of employment with the new company (for FMLA) or whether we'll start in just another month. I do have a Short-Term Disability plan with my benefits but I need to get a better sense of how a potential leave will work, plus the idea of learning a brand new role while battling First Tri is not very appealing. I had posted a bit about this, but we had started down the path of initial testing before I got this job offer, so need to decide how/when to proceed with that as well. We did get DH's SA results back and everything was normal. Which is nice to hear, but doesn't really ease my mind. 4. Nothing big - a few weddings, family reunion. Might do something for our anniversary in August.
3. I found out today I have to have a LEEP next week to remove some abnormal cells. We'll have to sit out the next cycle. I'm ok with it, because I know this procedure has to happen and hopefully it takes care of everything and I have some peace of mind. My ob-gyn assured me it should not have any impact on TTC (other than taking the month off).
4. We're going to do NOLA for H's birthday in June, I'm going out to Seattle for a girls weekend in July, and we're doing a family trip to the mountains in August. We hope to fit in a camping weekend and maybe even a beach weekend in there.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Nothing that isn't whining.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Yes! We're going on a cruise the end of May and hopefully a trip to Memphis over 4th of July. And camping. Lots of camping planned.
suzv, sorry for your loss. bina, I get that a lot too. It's really frustrating. I just relaxed for 3 years with exh and no baby. So I'm gonna temp and chart and take my little butt to the dr in July if I'm not ku by then. Lol.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 5, cd 2
2. Testing this week? newp.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? My lps are never the same. I don't even know what that could mean, but everything I'm reading says it should be the same, so how bad is it if they're not?
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Probably some camping. Possibly a short trip when my h switches jobs in a month or two. I'm thinking San fran would be nice.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 14, 1 loss. Cycle 12 since loss, CD 27, 12dpo.
2. Testing this week? AF is due Friday. I am waiting till then before even testing. My breasts were very sore this morning and I started crying in the car randomly while singing along to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5," so I'm definitely hormonal. Whether that's from PMS or pregnancy, I guess we'll see. Very slight cramps here and there make me think PMS.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Nothing much, I guess. Just finished up my semester and I'm ready for the summer to begin. Warm weather is a huge plus and it's nearly warm enough for me to break out my skirts and dresses! I think the warm weather will greatly improve my mood.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? Yes, we're planning on traveling up North (yay Michiganders) over the week of the 4th, and then maybe again in August, although that might just be for a weekend. I guess it depends on when I can get off work. But I'm looking forward to some down time to relax and rejuvenate!
suzv, I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and then had a D&C last year. It can feel like an isolating experience, but there are many of us here who have had that experience. Let us know if you ever want to talk or vent about it.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I feel like everyone is moving on from on from here and I'm still treading water. But hopefully with the house sold and no more renos for now, we can get back into a groove while we adjust to living with family for a few months.
4. Any trips planned for the summer? No trips, but moving!
2. Nope. Just waiting for af to arrive (usually cd21-24) so I can start bcp in prep for surgery.
3. I am very bitter that I need surgery...stupid effing polyp. I am kind of freaking out about being put under. ugh.
4. we have some weekend trips planned - to the beach, camping with friends and some lake daytrips. It's my dh's work busy season, so we don't really vacation much in the summer..
