2. Testing this week? I'll start opks tomorrow, per doctor's orders, but I don't expect to O for another week or two.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? All I can think about is next steps, medications, treatments, testing, etc. I've basically lost all faith that this is going to happen "normally". But, i had one son with no trouble. Why is it so difficult this time? What is wrong with me?
4. Favorite summer drink? My favorites don't change by season, lol. Full bodied red wines and good whisky for sipping. Ice water or Coke.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTCing since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD12
2. Testing this week? OPKs this week
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Nothing new. Just the same old ones I usually have (tired of TTCing).
4. Favorite summer drink? I'm a fruity drink kind of girl. I love Mailbu with Sprite or mixed with pink lemonade. Also I love Strawberry margaritas on the rocks.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTA after a loss. Let's be real though, there is no sex going on anyway. I'm one week post D&C. My follow up appointment is not until June 3. I will ask my doctor then how long he thinks we should wait.
2. Testing this week? Nope. I'll start chatting again once I get my period. 3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I went on an unfriending/unfollowing spree on Facebook yesterday. I'm finding that my patience for anything is super low right now.
4. Favorite summer drink? I'm very much looking forward to daiquiris and margaritas on the beaches of Jamaica right now!
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? FF hasn't confirmed O yet but I'm pretty sure if I did O it was by CD15. I had all my normal symptoms & + OPKs prior to then. Now I have tender breasts & creamy CM, just like I always do after O. This cycle is a bust for sure.
4. Favorite summer drink? I've been craving a good margarita lately. I also like lemonade or good sweet tea with lemon.
suzv- I routinely unfriend people on Facebook, I never really did it before my losses. I just seem to have little patients for people lately.
oneslybookworm- I am terrified that this won't happen for me again, and I'm also terrified it will happen and then I will have another loss. Urg... Stupid emotions.

HUGS, I understand completely (well, not the loss aspect). Emotions can suck it.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I'm still in this ridiculous stage where a random pain or twinge makes me think I might be pregnant. I feel less this way than I did during cycle 1 though. I also worry that I have not ovulated at all since stopping bcp because my temp charts are all over the place. I've decided I just need to be patient, keep charting, and ask my doctor her thoughts at my annual which will be in early fall if need be.
4. Favorite summer drink? I love summer beer like Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. I always like wine (red or white), and after a run I absolutely must have a glass of chocolate milk. This is especially true on a hot summer run!
I'm irrationally angry at everything today. lol. I have no idea why, I'm just in a pissy mood. Oh, but H just booked us tickets to Brazil in Oct! It can't get here a moment too soon!
suzv - I'm sorry. It must be a rough time for you all the way around. Hugs.
I know many of you have been trying a long while, and I just want to say I think you are all so strong. You share your journey to help and support others, and it's pretty amazing. I know I'm new, but I wanted say that. I am hoping for the best for each one of you.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 3/2014, two losses. CD11, first IUI is Friday!
2. Testing this week? Nope. Feels so weird to not even be peeing on OPKs!
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I am so freaked out to be here, but am reassured that my body responded fairly well to the meds. My lefty is always a slacker, but was the dominant one this month. I only had 3 follicles at my base u/s, and had a good cry about it, but after 5 days of Femara and only 2 vials of Menopur, I had a 16 and a 17 yesterday! We did one more night of Menopur, and I'll trigger tonight.
4. Favorite summer drink? All of them! Lol. I used to love a really cold beer in the summer, something like Dos Equis, but I've been avoiding gluten for over a year now, and get crazy bloat and tummy aches if I have one. I need to find a new draaaaank.
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 since fall '13, not sure where I am in this no-treatment cycle, just waiting for CD1 (sometime next week?) to start femara for our Hail Mary double IUI cycle.
2. Testing this week? Newp
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I getting excited for the IUI but that's not smart. We're only doing it to ease my husband's fears of the IVF, it's unlikely that it'll work given our numbers. Getting my hopes up is a bad idea.
4. Favorite summer drink? I don't drink alcohol and have gotten out of the habit of drinking anything but water, really. Ginger ale is my very favorite pop (yes POP, mitten state represent!) but I also love ginger beer and lemonade from the fair- you know, with like a full cup of sugar and real lemons? Delish!!
Hugs, scm1011 and oneslybookworm! I'm sorry about the funks. It's exhausting to try to stay so optimistic that it will work out, but I hope tomorrow is a better day for both of you in that regard.

This is so true. We are a very strong group of women. I'm so thankful to have this group. Hugs to everyone!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since January 2014, CD32, 11DPO
2. Testing this week? Got a little temp rise today but BFN today and will probably wait until the weekend to test again if AF does not show. I am not generally an early pee-er but got the urge randomly today and now I will go back to waiting until I know AF is late.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Same as always. Every one of my cycles to is different since my lap in January. I am still getting mid-cycle spotting. I have an appointment with my doctor next Friday and I have a feeling there will be tears.
4. Favorite summer drink? Beer! I love all of the beer!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTCAL since March 2014 CD 24
2. Testing this week? No. I got a positive OPK on CD 19 which is way early for me. I tested in the PM then tested again the next AM with a negative. I have short surges so I am assuming that I O'd. FF hasn't given me a crosshairs d/t my temp not rising. Thoughts?
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? See above. If I have ovulated I need to start taking my progesterone. I had an HSG on CD12 and all tubes open with no big abnormalities seen, but my OB did write on my report that my uterus has a "funny shape" and shouldn't prevent pregnancy, but MAY have had something to do with my miscarriage. This is also week 2 of waiting on H's SA results...how long does it take to get results back?
1. TTC since December 2013, IVF cycle #1, transfer scheduled for 6/3
2. Nope
3. I don't know why I torture myself watching baby shit on TV. Or walking through the baby section at Target. Or lurking on GotP. I have a problem. Also, my transfer day seems like it's so far away. And I realized last night that its been 18 months since we started TTC. That's a tough milestone to meet.

Support from the woman on these boards is amazing. I am so happy to be apart of it.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 Cycle 5 1 loss
2. Testing this week? Yes Friday, af is due Sunday so i'm hoping Friday isnt to early to test.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? H leaves next week till the end of the year so i'm really hopeful this cycle worked, other wise things will be put on hold and my i guess vision of the future will have to change, I dont know, i'm really hopeful but i know there are definitely no guarantee's.
4. Favorite summer drink? Margarita, good tequila, on the rocks with salt.

ETA: 2 weeks seems long! H's were back both times in about 2 days, in his online patient portal. Do you have something like that, or are you having to wait for someone to call you?
