1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC since January 2015, 1 loss. CD 20, 8 dpo

2. Testing this week?
I'm going to try and hold out until Saturday at 12dpo. I might cave on Friday though.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
Not really. I'm feeling good about this cycle, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
I've never had a pumpkin spiced latte! I'm going to have to try one. I do love everything else pumpkin though!

1. Where are you in your journey?
Cycle 13, 1 loss, CD 20, 1 DPO

2. Testing this week?
I triggered yesterday morning! I might test a little to test out the trigger, but I haven't decided yet.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
i'm feeling pretty even keeled at the moment. mostly i've been trying not to dwell on TTC stuff.

4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
eh, i'm not a big pumpkin lover. it's fine, but i'm not going out of my way to buy it.

omg I just looked closer at the calendar and realized that if I'm not pregnant there's a very good chance that I will start my period on the EDD of the pregnancy I lost. So if you guys could all be extra prepared with wine and hugs on sept 6 I would be forever grateful.

1. TTC #1 since December 2013, gearing up for FET #2, tentative transfer date 9/10

2. Nope

3. I started another period and today I guess is technically cd2. My last period was 2.5 weeks ago. I haven't had this happen before, so I'm a little worried about how it's going to affect transfer. I'm so confused on what is going on with my body. I started acupuncture, so maybe this is helping to regulate things? And I guess transfer would fall on cd18, which I guess is in line with how a natural cycle might work out. I'm trying to rationalize things. Sorry for the brain dump.

4. I love anything fall. I've already been stalking target for Halloween stuff. So, yes, I'm excited for everything pumpkin. Except I can't have pumpkin spiced lattes on the diet I'm on because of the dairy, sugar and processed ingredients. Boo. If I ever get pregnant, maybe I'll treat myself to one.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD2

2. Testing this week? Nope

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? I have been emotional almost all month. So emotional that I am to the point of tears all the time. I knew my due date was going to be hard, but for some reason this whole month has been tough. I just keep thinking that I would of had a baby by now. DH and I had a long talk last night and I feel better this morning. I was concerned that all of this infertility might be effecting our marriage, but he reassured me that it hasn't been effecting him like I thought it was. I told him that I ws thinking about stopping and maybe looking into fostering. We have been thinking about it, but we are going to give it a couple more months.

4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available? I love all things Fall so I am so excited about pumpkin things. I don't like the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks (makes me feel sick), but do make almost everything else with pumpkin (cupcakes, muffins, and soups).

1. TTC #2, cycle 3, 5DPO (maybe?)
2. Maybe on Friday AM because I'm a glutton for punishment.
3. Though I am temping, I have no idea what my chart really says. I had to switch BBTs right before I O'd last week because my battery was dying. Ugliest chart ever. If not for two positive OPKs last Wednesday and Thursday Fertility Friend would not be giving me cross hairs. If I DID ovulate on Thursday, we had really good timing. In the mean time, I had to pee FOUR times last night between 10pm and midnight. Did I drink to much water?

4. Pumpkins shmumpkins. I like fall but have such a busy schedule in the next month that I can barely think past Octover 1.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan 2014


2. Testing this week?
no, but i stop BCPs this weekend because i start stims for IVF next week. OMG. 


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
ummm...KINDA freaking out about stims.  but i think right now it's just because it's still a week away.  i think once i'm actually giving myself shots and going for appointments, it'll be better.  


4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
 i'm not that jazzed about pumpkin spice, other than this pumpkin spice caramel dip for apples my walmart carries.  but the sooner pumpkin spice season gets here, the sooner it's over.  thus ushering in the greatest of all seasons, GINGERBREAD SEASON!!!!

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC#1, CD 55


2. Testing this week?
No, I was testing every few days when I thought I was at the two week mark/late, but the novelty is wearing off, so I don't feel the need to test sooner than every week or so (just tested on Sunday). Will be on vacation starting tomorrow, and get back Monday. This might be the first time I would be happy to get my period on vacation, just so this cycle will end! 


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
Mildly annoyed with my crazy long cycle, but much less concerned after all the feedback from people here. If there's still no end in sight when I get back from my trip I will have to decide about calling the doctor. Would I have to go in for an office visit to get the provera, or do they just call in an rx for that?


4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
I don't really like pumpkin or pumpkin spice flavored things. I am happy to dream about cooler weather though, and I already saw that Halloween is on a Saturday this year, and not on my weekend to work, so I am definitely starting to plan a Halloween party. I've decided that H and I need to dress up as the 10th Doctor and Rose. And I've started watching all the old episodes on Netflix as costume research.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan '14. One loss. Cycle 15, CD30.


2. Testing this week?
Period was due yesterday. I don't want to test unless I'm at least a few days late. I don't have high hopes for that, though.


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
Waiting to see when/if I get my period this cycle. Trying to plan ahead for taking the next steps as needed with the Clomid/IUI. DH would want us to wait another month for that as our schedules will be changing/a bit hectic this month. I don't know what to think, I guess.


4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
I really don't care for pumpkin products. Pumpkin bread is okay, but other than that, I'm not a fan.

Hi This is my first post here, I mainly lurk on some of the other boards

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #2/cycle 5/cd 7

2. Testing this week?
nope

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
It feels like theres a pregnancy announcement from a friend nearly everyday right now. Definitely makes me a bit jealous so really working on that!

4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
Yes but only because it means cooler weather!

1. TTC#1 since August 2014 CD24 9DPO?

2. No. Only if I get to Sept 5th without AF showing her ugly face.

3. No. Not today. Today I am still hopeful. We had excellent timing this cycle.

4. Eh, not really. I prefer the apple products... as in apple pie blizzards from DQ. I always get one right around my birthday in late November.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan 2012, 2 losses


2. Testing this week?
Getting another blood draw tomorrow to test my betas, hopefully they are dropping still


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I'm tired of being in this holding pattern. And just tired of this in general.


4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
Yes! Although I think it's still a little early. As much as I love pumpkin stuff, I don't usually get into it until Oct & Nov. Sept for me is about apples (especially in pie form).

1. TTC since Nov. 13, Cycle 11 AL, 11 dpo
2. Yes, maybe Saturday if I can get myself in the right headspace.
3. Really hopeful this cycle as my FW was right after HSG, but also disillusioned by the fact I've been down this road so many times now. What is there to get excited about? Why would this cycle actually work? I hate the back and forth.
4. I am, especially for the cooler weather and sweaters/boots, and I saw that Starbucks changed up the recipe for the PSL so I'm excited to try it. It's supposed to have real pumpkin now.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since 2/14, 2 losses

2. Testing this week?
Nope. Still waiting for AF after my most recent loss, then have to wait a few cycles (so really, I don't belong here, but this makes me feel like there is some movement lol)

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I have to stop myself from thinking too much about timing. My guess is we will get in 2 cycles at most by the end of the year, which is just depressing to me.

4. Are you super excited about all the pumpkin products starting to be available?
I love pumpkin and eat it almost year round, so yes

[knx9211]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since August 2014. First round of Clomid.

2. Testing this week?
Nope. Done with OPKs. Got my "peak" reading on CBFM yesterday and my temperature went up this morning. Have to go into the doctor tomorrow.

3. Thoughts? Concerns?
I just really hope this works.

4. Are you super excited about the pumpkin products starting to be available?
I love fall. It feels like fall in Pittsburgh today. It's awesome. I love the smells and the fact that it's not sticky and humid. And yes, pumpkin. Except the one time I tried to make pumpkin pie and forgot the sugar. That tasted like garbage.
