1.  Where are you in your journey?

2.  Testing this week?

3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed?

4. Favorite "must have" make-up item?

[oneslybookworm]

1. Cycle 30, CD1

2. Nope, taking the summer off from testing and treatments.

3. I'm shocked that I'm actually at 30 cycles, but nothing in particular. I'm making appointments for consults with two different REs (my current one and a second one) to see what they would each recommend with IVF, but otherwise, I'm just hanging out.

4. Eyeliner. I really like MAC kohl in Teddy and Prunella, and I am in love with Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliner

[mskitkat]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 13, CD 15

2. Testing this week? OPKs. Normally I ovulate by cd 14, but I'm only getting flashing smilies. I couldn't temp this month because of a bad cold that lasted foreve, so who knows.

3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I get to see some college friends this weekend. I expect 746864 questions about why I don't have kids and lots of "just relax!" Advice from a friend who is one of those super fertile people who just think pregnant and they are.

4. Favorite "must have" make-up item? Mascara and the maybeline under eye eraser.

1. TTC#1 since August 2014 CD 21. I missed my O date because I could only use OPKs 1x/day due to inaccurate readings from being on antibiotics/drinking my weight in water. Thanks uti. /sarcasm

2. Nope. 2ww.

3. We had ok timing but personally I feel it's a crapshoot either way. Previous months we've had excellent timing and I'm still here, not pregnant. So my normal TTC sucks and I hate it. :N:

4. I wear no makeup unless you count face lotion and chapstick. So those I guess.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD 23, 12 DPO

2. Testing this week? BFN this morning

3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I was really hoping this was our cycle since I am one month away from what would have been my due date.

4. Favorite "must have" make-up item? Tinted moisturizer and mascara

[betsyray]

Can I join here? I'm a reg on April '12 and I'm TTC #3 hi!

I'm on Cycle 3 CD5 coming off two consecutive chemical pregnancies.

No testing. I have long cycles so I probably won't use OPKs until July.

The second CP really devastated me, which was surprising. I'm still having trouble fighting depression. Hoping that when the bleeding stops I feel better.

Eyeliner is my favourite makeup item I have small eyes and I feel like they look much prettier with some liner. I've been using the MBMJ mini set from Christmas but I also like L'Oreal liquid liner and NYX shadow sticks.

1. Where are you in your journey?
Cycle 2 CD13
2. Testing this week?
OPKs with two negs so far come on ovaries!
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed?
A petty one. I'm slightly jealous of a friend who got pregnant with #2 accidentally. That seems to be the easier way to do this!
4. Favorite "must have" make-up item?
A good quality mascara. I love Tarte mascara but it is so expensive!

Hugs ouokie

1. TTAAL cycle 1 cd 16
2. Just opks. Finally got a high reading today after 5 days of low.
3. Not really. I'm feeling pretty good this week.
4. It's hard to pick just one! I like to focus on my eyes, so mascara I guess.

TTC#1, Cycle 1, CD28

Maybe this weekend (will be 12-13dpo)

3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed?

acne concealer from clinique

[kellikans]

1. TTC #1 since December 2013, IVF #1, tentative transfer July 11 or 12

2. Nope

3. I had to start delestrogen last Friday which is an IM injection. DH has to do them since I can't reach and I had a mini meltdown beforehand freaking out about how much it was going to hurt. I iced the area for 7 minutes or something and I didn't even feel it! DH did a great job and I had a full breakdown afterwards from the relief. Did my second one last night and all went well. I can do these.

4. I absolutely LOVE Cover Girl's Ready Set Gorgeous foundation. It's so cheap but has amazing coverage and really lasts all day. It makes my skin look amazing. It holds up so much better than all of the expensive foundations I've tried.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTCAL since April 2014 10DPO


2. Testing this week? Yes, Saturday


3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I have a good feeling abou this cycle, but that seems to be what everyone says. Lots of "fluid" down there today, flutters and on and off cramps throughout this week. Not my normal PMS or progesterone side effects


4. Favorite "must have" make-up item? Mascara and bronzer, don't leave home without them!

[belle55]

1. TTCAL CD 21, 5 dpo
2. Not yet.
3. So over getting my hopes up. Feeling totally pessimistic. Anxious about the idea of testing next cycle.
4. Mascara, and more recently I've found my hourglass blush to be a must have.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since April 2015

2. Testing this week? Nope

3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I'm feeling fine this week. I have AF AGAIN but I'm feeling pretty good. Work is calming down after a crazy few months, and I've been enjoying myself with working a little less.

4. Favorite "must have" make-up item? Pur Minerals 4-in-one pressed power with SPF15 and the concealer are my daily must-haves. I've been all about smash box lipsticks too!

[july]

TTC since June 2014. AL, cycle four. 8dpo

Testing maybe on Friday or Saturday if I don't start spotting.

Today should have been test day but FF says I ovulated late. It was a weird cycle. Earlier this month I blew off this cycle because of the weird ovulation, but I feel more hopeful now. But I know not to hope and feel optimistic. All my symptoms are lining up exactly the same as last month.

I am glad I temp so I know not to get excited and test when I think I am late, but I am not.

I love tarte blush.

[awick14]

1. TTC since Oct 2012, CD16

2. Just OPKs

3. Last cycle I was on the same dose of clomid as this cycle and I think I Od way earlier this cycle. (CD 22 last cycle and if tomorrow's temp is still high CD14 this cycle.) I was not expecting that so we weren't into the sex EOD yet but we did get once in around O though. So FX it was enough.

4. I don't wear any makeup.

[Robot Jen]

I'll play! I'm a sporadic poster. Night-shifter. DH is 30, I'm 27. We've just decided to TTC #1 although we both constantly go back and forth as to WTF we are doing!

1. Where are you in your journey?
Cycle 4 CD 11

2. Testing this week?
Nope. Waiting for O.

3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed?
Job woes that I don't feel entirely comfortable posting online. Lets just say I'm pretty run down and unhappy right now.

4. Favorite "must have" make-up item?
I love the Maybelline Falsies mascara

[raangoli]

TTCAL Cycle 11 CD 7

No testing

Just the usual anxiety which probably doesn't help things. I had to gate check a bag yday at the airport so I asked for a tag. The lady thought that I needed a tag for my stroller. Nope, no child. Thanks for the reminder. (Obviously she has no idea, but it still sucks.)

I'm not a big makeup person, but I guess mascara. I really like the Dior Show if I am feeling spendy.

[mpc]

1. Cycle 11, CD 27, 10DPO

2. I think I'm going to test on Saturday

3. I'm going through a hard time of feeling like it's my fault that I can't get pregnant. I have a lot of guilt. This is our first clomid cycle and like I said I'll test this weekend, so I'm going to try really hard not to drive myself crazy the next couple days.

Hugs ouokie and betsyray

ETA: mpc - Please don't blame yourself, this is not your fault. Hugs to you, too.

[mrsbunny]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan '14. One loss. Cycle 13, CD 25.


2. Testing this week?
Nope. Period is due around Monday, DH's birthday, of course.


3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed?
Nothing right now, I guess. Got my blood drawn yesterday for tests and they took 7 vials. Yikes! Trying not to focus on it right now and just look forward to DH's and I's vacation next week. Can't wait to have some relaxing time!


4. Favorite "must have" make-up item?
Well, mascara is the only make up I actually wear. So that. I use Maybelline.

1. CD15, cycle #3
2. Probably not
3. I'm currently in the process of weaning DD and it is making me hormonal. I am weepy and tired like early pregnancy. I do think I might have better luck with getting pregnant now that she is weaning though.
4. the stuff I use to color in my eyebrows. amazing what having eyebrows does for a face! (I'm blonde, so its hard to see them without added color)
