1. Where are you in your journey?

2. Testing this week?

3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats?

4. What was your favorite vacation? 

[oneslybookworm]

1. Where are you in your journey? - Cycle 29, CD16, 2DPIUI (IUI #3)

2. Testing this week? - Nope...not until around 10/11DPIUI

3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats? - I'm torn between hope that this Hail Mary IUI worked, and being convinced that we'll move on to our next steps after I get a BFN.  I'm trying really hard to stay positive, but not TOO positive as I don't want to be crushed if this didn't work. 

4. What was your favorite vacation? - We did a short weekend trip to Verona Italy (this was when we lived abroad) to see an outdoor opera (Romeo and Juliet).  We were only there a few days, but the opera was amazing, and I had some of the best Italian food of my life!

((scm1011)) - keeping my FX that it's just a late BFP!

Crossing my fingers for you, oneslybookworm! Glad to hear that your cycle has restarted suzv

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since August 2014; CD16


2. Testing this week? I use the CBFM. Every damn month (except one where I got the flu), I start getting high readings at CD14 and my peaks at 19/20. CD16, and no high readings yet.


3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats? I'm just fucking frustrated. It doesn't help that it feels like everyone else in my life who wants children has them or is pregnant. my cousin is having a gender reveal picnic something whatever.. we're going to Vegas that weekend. I just didn't think it would be this hard. I know people have been waiting a lot longer than we have, but I just feel like I'm falling apart.



4. What was your favorite vacation?
DH and I went to London/Bath/Cardiff in 2013. It was a great time, we really enjoyed it.

[raangoli]

Fingers crossed oneslybookworm! suzv - Am glad your cycle is back.

1. TTCAL Cycle 9 CD18

2. Continuing with OPKs. So far, nothing. Uhh what? Fine.

3. Same feelings, different day.

4. I have loved all of our trips for different reasons. Favorite would be Paris/London or ever Hawaii. They were so different but both so wonderful and beautiful.

[kellikans]

1. TTC #1 since December 2013, IVF cycle #1, FET cancelled due to a shitty lining

2. Nope

3. Frustrated. My RE started me on endometrium. So need to finish that up, wait for AF and start over. I'm tired of waiting for this. And having been so close and then have it taken away.

4. Our honeymoon to St. Lucia. We want to go back so badly.

[Deleted]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since April 2015. Cycle 3 CD?

2. Testing this week? No

3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats? Still frustrated with my irregular AF, I've had it for 4 out of the last 6 weeks. I'd heard that it was common to go a while without AF after going off BC, but I wasn't expecting to have a continual AF three months out. I'm not anxious about TTC because we're only 3 months in, but it sucks and I'm hoping it's not indicative of anything other than going off BC. I feel like charting is pointless until it calms down. My doctor wants to see how the rest of the month goes, and do blood work in July if I'm still having issues.

4. What was your favorite vacation? Tough one! Egypt was amazing and truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We went right before the revolution in 2010, and sadly some of the sites we visited have since been irrevocably damaged. I love to travel, though. I have a lot of favorites in different categories.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD15

2. Testing this week? Waiting on a positive OPK

3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats? First cycle using Clomid and Met. We'll see how it works. DH had a discussion that we'll continue with Clomid and TI until this October (it will make it 3 years of trying for us) and then we will re-evualte and see what we want to do. I don't think IUI will be helpful and it would put us really in debt (we are OOP).

4. What was your favorite vacation? Honestly, a couple of weeks ago DH and I spent a long weekend by ourselves in a cabin by a national park. We loved the seclusion and everything was just beautiful. We would drink some wine and relax in the hot tub at night.

Also, your trip sounds amazing!

1. Cycle 11, CD 11

2. I started opks today. I usually don't O til ~CD21, but this is my first month doing Clomid and I don't know if it'll change things.

3. I'm kind of over feelings at the moment. I just want a nap.

4. I don't know how to pick a favorite! Maybe morocco or Australia.

[rockinrobyn]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTCAL since April 2014 CD19

2. Testing this week? OPKs

3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats? Altered diet to help with ttc and reduce the need for metformin. Easier than it sounds.

4. What was your favorite vacation? I love the family campout we do every year. Just a long weekend away with family to relax. It is glorious!

[grover]

1. TTC since April 2013, 9dpo
2. I want to test now, but know it's too early. Also there are no tests in the house and while I really want to go test, I don't want to waste the money when it turns negative.
3. I am feeling hopeful for the first time this year, but feel it may be because this is the first cycle since my sister announced her oops. If this works, I can announce super early before she comes out to extended family (which she stated she'd prefer). So now my hopes are way up. Which means when AF ultimately shows up, I'm going to be absolutely crushed. And want to avoid all extended family gatherings from now until MY baby is in my arms.
4. The only vacas besides camping trips growing up were three cruises. Of those three, I enjoyed the honeymoon cruise the most since I had say in all of the activities we did.

[mandiespharm]

1. Cycle?? Ttc since 2/13. 12dpiui #4

2. Tomorrow if af doesn't show up....

3. Semi hopeful this cycle since my boobs have been sore for the last eleven days. But trying not to think too much into it

4. Saba for our honeymoon. So peaceful and quiet.

Fx oneslybookworm!
@oukie - does your insurance cover any part of it? Like not the drugs and insemination but covers the ultrasounds and bloodwork? That's what mine does. My RE has worked a lot with us on cost and it is $150 for the insemination and drugs are pretty cheap. And they've been able to find us gonal for our injects now.

No it's all how its coded by my RE. My meds are covered but really nothing else. We have t really discussed IUI yet since I was able to get pregnant on Clomid back in November.

[mskitkat]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 13, CD 1.

2. Testing this week? No.

3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats? Hair pats. Definitely. I couldn't even conceive on a cruise during FW on a cruise! And now I've hit the 1 year mark. And I have a cold, because fuck you that's why.

4. What was your favorite vacation? Either our cruise around the Greek islands or camping in the Finger Lakes of NY. Both were fabulous for different reasons.

[Mushe]

Fx for you, mandiespharm!!

[belle55]

1. TTCAL cycle 9, CD 7
2. Start opks in a few days
3. I'm feeling... Reenergized? We took a few months off and I really struggled with when/how to continue. But I feel ready to try again this cycle. I decided to try soft cups this cycle, so maybe its the idea of doing something "new" that is giving me some hope. And If that doesn't work, I'm ready to continue with the initial testing we started on a few months ago (before we took a break). At least I think I am
4. Hawaii. I went with my family before I was married and I can't wait to go back with dh someday.

Just frustrated right now with my body and my DH. It was a rough weekend trying to get some action in when staying at MIL
4. What was your favorite vacation?
Antarctica last year was amazing, but my Mediterranean cruise (turkey, greece, italy and egypt) was probably my fav

Nooo. I am sorry  

[macmars45]

1. TTC#1 since August 2014 CD8

2. I'll start OPKs in 2 days.

3. A year of trying is coming up so soon. Ugh. That makes me so sad. It shouldn't be this hard to have a baby.

4. My honeymoon with H was awesome. We went to Disneyland because we're basically big kids that love roller coasters.

[autumnfire]

1. Where are you in your journey?

I'm new here hopefully this is okay.

Cycle 1 - CD8 - ttc#2

We've been NTNP for over 6 months. Went to my OB gathered all the info I need about our risks due to the delivery we had with DD that caused a inverted T incision. Scheduled an appointment with our RE again. Consult is in late August. Until then OB said we should just try with Clomid until our appointment.

Took my first dose of clomid on the 9th.

We conceived DD in 2013 via our 3rd IUI with injects. Experienced 4 losses before we had her and went through 4 years of TTC.

I have APS and PCOS. 3dpo I go on progesterone, HCG booster shots, lovenox, low dose aspirin and Metformin. I'll start interlipids when I start back up with my RE.


2. Testing this week? Nope


3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats?
None just a little nervous to be back at this place. Hopefully clomid works or the first few rounds of IUI. If nothing happens in the next 6 months we'll likely move on with our family of 3. (I can't go that long again like we did last time)


4. What was your favorite vacation? Dominican Republic. Loved it.

[simpsongal]

1. Where are you in your journey?
cycle 2, CD 24

2. Testing this week?
Yup, all BFNs, just waiting for AF (any hour now)


3. Thoughts/feelings/in need of hair pats?
Meh, I would prefer a spring baby anyway


4. What was your favorite vacation?
Key West!

[awick14]

1. CD5

2. Nope

3. Just taking the clomid again this cycle and seeing how that goes.

4. My favorite trip was Disneyland when I was younger.
