3. I'm just waiting to see if the clomid helps me O earlier then I normally do.
4. I have a veggie garden with lots of stuff. Carrots, onions (green and sweet), lettuce, spinach, peas, beans, tomatoes, peppers and zucchini. I'm so excited to eat everything in it, and I love gardening. MIL is trying to put a damper on our garden though, "why do you need a big garden it's just the two of you". Thanx for reminding me MIL. Urg
I wanted to plant vegetables, but we have rabbits that seem to live under our deck and they like to eat everything I plant. So as much as I like them and find it fun that they find our yard comfortable to live in, I don't want to provide them with a literal salad bar.
I have planted lilies and am looking forward to seeing them bloom. I planted them last spring, but the aforementioned bunnies ate them last year. This year, I sprayed them with this God-awful repellent which seems to have worked.
We don't have our own outdoor space. We share a courtyard with other residents of the building, and a private garden with other residents of the square. In London, that's pretty good.
1. TTC #1 since December 2013, IVF cycle #1 with FET tentatively on 6/3
2. Nope
3. Had a monitoring appointment yesterday. My lining is pretty thin (I'm on cd3, so it makes sense) so she added another estrogen patch... Now I'm wearing 3 at a time. It may push back transfer date, which I'm really disappointed about. Plus, DH is supposed to be going out of town for work the following week. Just hoping it doesn't get pushed back a full week.
4. I just recently planted another hydrangea (so now I have 4), gardenias and fuchsias. I planted 4 peony bulbs a month and a half ago, but nothing is coming up at all. At some point I want to redo our front beds and make them more drought tolerant.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD26, 9DPO
2. Testing this week? I'm trying really hard to wait until atleast Saturday or Sunday.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? My thyriod levels were rechecked last week and it seems that they have gone up some eventhough I have been on meds since March. They upped my dosage and I'll recheck in 6 weeks. I told DH with that and then telling me that I might be pre-diabetic that I feel like I'm falling apart.
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? We have done a vegetable garden in the past but lately during the summer we have been traveling a lot so we opted not to do one. We usually plant squash, tomatoes, green beans, okra, and cucumbers (we make our own pickles).
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 Cycle 2 CD 35
2. Testing this week? According to Fertility Friend I ovulated on CD 26 so I will probably wait until after next Monday to test if I haven't gotten my period by then.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I ovulated on CD 21 last month and this month it was CD 26. I was hoping that my cycles would be a little more regular but I guess we'll just have to see. I hope they don't keep getting longer.
Also, I feel like I have a yeast infection. I used to get them all the time and haven't had one in about a year. It is not nearly as bad as they have been in the past but I went ahead and called the doctor to get a prescription so hopefully it will clear up really soon.
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant?
No, my thumb is not green in the slightest. I have a hydrangea bush in the back yard and if I can keep that up I will be happy. I just have to make sure I remember to water it!
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since 3/2014, 2 losses, CD2.
2. Testing this week? Nope. Early u/s tomorrow to be cleared for another combo IUI
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? So, I know I cried in #1, but I had super squinters/shadows on 9 and 10dpiui, and it actually gave me a lot of hope, even though CD1 came the next day. I'm game to keep going on these combo IUIs, as it's the only treatment we're going to do.
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? Veggies! It's actually H's thing, and I think it's pretty cute. He had DS help him this year with planting some from seed, because DS loves The Lorax. He did a couple different kind of tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and peppers. We've already had a few zucchini! The weather is so nice where we live that he actually planted a while ago.
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.
The doctor did a pregnancy test yesterday when I went in for my LEEP. She thinks my cycle is just irregular and said it may take a few more months to regulate since I only recently went off BC
I was having some anxiety leading up to the LEEP, mainly because of reading crazy things online. My ob-gyn (who is awesome) really reassured me and made me feel better. She also said we can get back on the wagon in 2 weeks, not 4 weeks like I had read. Assuming I get AF at some point soon, we may not have to miss a cycle.
We are working on the yard in our new house. We live in a city row house with a small garden out front and a small backyard. I planted flowers out front and some hanging plants on our porch. I want to do vegetable beds in the back, we might get to that this weekend!
1. Where are you in your journey? Ttc since 2/13. CD2. Started injectables today for fourth iui
2. Testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? Got nothing today
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? Yes and yes
Garden is huge - roughly 15'x40' Four kinds of Peppers Five kinds of squash Cucumbers Tomatoes Green beans Peas Kohlrabi Beets Onions Carrots Kale Swiss chard Lots of herbs Lettuce
And the flower gardens go all of the way around the house and then some. We have lots of perennials plus blue berries, hops, rhubarb, strawberries
This is my summer love. It keeps my sane and my stress down
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I'm taking this month off of temping. I've already warned DH that if we aren't successful this month, I'm going to react very poorly, what with it being cycle 12 and FW corresponding with our vacation. If I don't get pregnant on this cruise, I will not be responsible for what I do to the next person who tells me just to "relax! It'll happen!"
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? No. I have a black thumb, and I'm generally helpless in the garden. At some point, I'm going to cave and hire a lawn service, but the MM side of me is stubborn.

1. TTC since Oct 2014. Cycle 9, CD 2 This is my third cycle since my loss.
2. Nope.
3. We had planned to announce our pregnancy on DH's birthday (this Friday). I just thought that I would be pregnant again by now. I'm bummed and frustrated.
4. haha, no. We tried a tiny vegetable/herb garden last summer and it died horrendously.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 2014. CD3
2. Testing this week? no testing until i assume my next RE appt preparing for IVF in a few months.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? being on the bench SUCKS. and it's hard watching what feels like everyone around me get the one thing i want so badly and can't seem to get.
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? we have azaleas in a long plot in the front yard, transplanted daffodils in a small bed next to the front stairs. and then there's the herb garden we built last month. the bottom row has oregano, basil and lemon thyme. the hanging boxes have rosemary and mint. the small pot behind those has cherry tomatoes, and you can barely see the small pot that holds the lemon tree i got last year and was CONVINCED i killed. but it's come back! DH ran a drip hose to each plant and it's on a timer so i don't have to remember to water them.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I can't believe we're on cycle 12. It's only (lol) 10.5ish months since I have shorter cycles but it still seems like a long time. DH is having outpatient surgery tomorrow (not TTC related) and we might not get to try this cycle depending on how he's healed when we get to FW.
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? I have flowers in my front yard that I struggle to keep alive.

I feel like I am in a really great spot right now emotionally. I moved my annual exam from April to last week. I went and conquered that fear. The waiting room sucked, but my doctor and nurse were amazing. I was in the same room as when I was told about the mmc and I didn't have any emotions as I waited for them to come in, even when having to stare at a wall of baby photos. I didn't go into my crazies with the doctor, but it was reassuring to hear that everything looked good and he was able to give me an explanation for my pain that didn't freak me out. He brought up the timeframe on when to return if I didn't get pregnant.
I kill plants. I planted flowers that loved the dry heat and we have had so much rain that they are dying. I introduced pots to our front bed and those are doing well.
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant?
1. TTC #2 since 8/2013. In 2WW from IVF #2
2. Probably Saturday, beta is Sunday.
3. I really hope this worked!
4. Yes, we have blueberries, raspberries, strawberries that we planted last year. DH also added some seeds, I think he did broccoli, cucumber, and pumpkins. We have flowers and grasses, trying to stick with native plants with anything we add.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since fall '13, CD10, Hail Mary double IUI
2. Testing this week? Just monitoring which is NOT going as planned. Exactly 0 growth in follicle size from Tuesday to today. Awesome.
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? WTMF BODY??!!!
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? We bought a new house last fall so I'm not doing anything big this year until I see what comes up/ what happens out there for a full year. I was surprised and happy to see a bunch of daffodils and hyacinth, lilacs and 4 blooming crab apples/ dogwoods so far! Because I can't do permanent until next spring I have a bunch of pots filled with green beans, snap peas, peppers, lettuce, kale, so many herbs, and I want a couple more but I'm not quite sure what yet. I don't think any type of squash or melon will excel in a pot, I don't really want tomatoes, I desperately want a few types of berries but I just think I should probably wait for my permanent garden. Which will be huge, btw. Big enough for squash and corn and berries and and and.... also planning on planting s couple of cherry trees, I AM in Michigan after all, it's like blasphemous not to have cherry trees
And I'm excited for your appointment, scm1011! They didn't have you do testing beforehand, right?
Thanks! Nope, I haven't done anything other than fill out a super long questionnaire. Maybe its more of an initial consult? I really don't know what to expect! I'm just glad to finally get the ball rolling, and to have gotten an appointment where I did.
Yes, I bet! I'm really glad you've got the ball rolling. It feels so good just to get that done.

1. Where are you in your journey? Waiting to get my period/cycle back after being on Lupron.
2. Testing this week? No
3. Thoughts, vents, etc.? I want my period back to I can start tracking/charting! it has been 6 weeks now since the meds finished!
4. Do you do a vegetable garden? Flower garden? If so what do you plant? Ummm negative. I don't have a green thumb. My DH handles all the outside stuff.
2. No testing other than 7DPO bloodwork this weekend. I'll go first thing saturday morning and hope I don't have to wait hours without an appointment. My Quest is terrible.
3. I am feeling strangely optimistic this month, which I'm sure will just bite me in the ass. The end of this month will make 1 year of trying. I'll meet with my doc to move on to next steps if/when AF shows up again.
4. We have a veggie garden. We're in FL so technically we have 2 growing seasons a year. We have had lots of success with tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, carrots, radishes, cabbage. We've had less success with squash, zucchini, broccoli, eggplant, blueberries.
