[kellikans]

1. TTC #1 since December 2013, FET #2 hopefully next week

2. nope

3. just really hoping that doing acupuncture this cycle works and helps me get pregnant.

4. I still have a baby tooth.

[sterl724]

1. Just started cycle 7, ttc #1. Way over the "oh my god we're doing this", somewhat past the "I really didn't think it'd take this long" and almost at the "I'm starting to worry something is wrong" phase!

2. No testing - just finished af Friday.

3. I mentioned in the Monday vent just now that I have had other teachers/co-workers tell me since school stated "I figured you would announce your pregnant!" Yeah, in a perfect world I would have gotten pregnant in June or July and be due mid-late spring (to lump leave with summer break.) But screw you for bringing it up and reminding me I'm NOT pregnant. (The icing on the cake here is that one of the people who said this is the ONE teacher I HATE. Because of course my reproducing is any of your business.)

4. I can touch my tongue to my nose and have double jointed elbows.

[macmars45]

It's still August 31st where I am.

1. TTC#1 since 2014 CD31 16DPO

2. Uh yes I think so. Maybe tomorrow. AF should've shown up yesterday.... *feeling hopeful*

3. Hoping and praying for a BFP!

4. I have a twin sister and she's 22 minutes older than me. Also, I'm the youngest of 5 daughters in my family. And we're not Catholic OR Mormon.

ETA: BFP! As of 6:15am! <)

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

2. Testing this week?
Nope

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
It's finally CD1! Took 9.5 weeks after the m/c. I have an appt next week with the gynecologic oncologist since my ob/gyn is concerned I may have had a partial molar pregnancy. I'm going to ask her if I need to still keep that now that AF is here.

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I've been to 31 major league baseball stadiums

This is my life. This is my fifth year at this school, and I was trying for the past two school years plus a few months. I'm pretty sure the entire staff now knows that not only am I TTTC, but that my sister managed to get knocked up by her baby daddy. It sucks.  The worst was when there were five all due at the same time. The therapist I started going to around then told me I should avoid my stressors....I was like, how do you avoid five extremely pregnant co-workers?

Almost worse is when students ask why you don't have kids yet or if your fat stomach is a baby.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since early 2013

2. Testing this week? I want to, and usually I refuse to test. Probably will try to hold off until Thursday or Friday.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? Same questions I've had for a while- why us? It's somewhat depressing that we started trying before we brought home the first pup, thinking he could grow up with a baby. Now it's been over two years, we have a second puppy, and neither fill the void I feel.

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. I had ten baby teeth pulled (5 in elementary school, 5 in high school) and four sets of braces (two were only uppers, two were full sets) and three oral surgeries. Not exactly a fun fact, but one that not many people can say they share.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC since January 2015, 1 loss. CD 27 either 15 dpo or 12 dpo

2. Testing this week?
I tested over the weekend and it was a BFN. Based off of the early ovulation date, AF should be here by now. I'm still holding out hope though. I'm waiting until Saturday to test again.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
Meh, I really had my hopes up this cycle. I know I'm not out yet, but I don't have good feelings anymore.

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I've got perfect vision in my left eye, and really terrible vision in my right eye. I can't remember my exact prescription.

[ouokie]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since Oct'12, 3 losses, CD9

2. Testing this week? Will start OPKs tomorrow

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? Just the usual, been trying for so long that we are losing hope. We have been thinking and talking about fostering to adopt. We know that we can give a child (or children) a good home. We know lots of people who have gone this route so we are really starting to think about it.

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. I have broken my left arm 3 times all in the same spot when I was younger. Because of this I am ambidextrous.

[mpc]

1. Where are you in your journey?
Cycle 13, CD 27, 8 DPO

2. Testing this week?
saturday, if i haven't started spotting by then

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
The pregnancy I lost would've been due this Sunday. I know this is not a unique feeling, but I was so sure I'd be pregnant again before this date arrived. It is weighing on me. It's not even like I'm mourning THAT baby. It's just the loss of the chance to have A baby. Does that make any sense? I actually had a BFP and it was squandered. 

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I've never eaten a hot dog in my life. (I made this realization about 2 years ago, and I thought, oh good! now I have a "fun fact" I can give when asked. except this if the first time in 2 years I've been asked that question. So thanks! lol)

[callmehales]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC# 1 since Jan 2014, IVF #1 THIS MONTH. 


2. Testing this week?
 no, but i start stims tomorrow!  i'm half excited to be getting the ball rolling...and half wanting to throw up and hide in a corner any time i think about it.


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
 umm...see above, lol.


4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
 i taught myself to say the alphabet backwards when i was 6, and i've been able to do it since then.  oh, and i can wiggle my ears.  i found out because i used to wear glasses, and i'd do this thing to try and pull them back on my head leaning over a desk at school.  a few years later, i did in front of a mirror and realized it was moving my ears.

ahhh! our cycles have synced up haha. good luck to both of you!

So here is my TTC problem for the day. I just had a tiny bit of spotting. No cramping and I rarely spot before AF shows up. I am out of both tampons and pregnancy tests. I should really head to the store and buy one or the other before the end of the night because I feel silly buying both at the same time.

[grover]

suzv I never spotted prior to AF until the past few cycles. Every month it is just spotting followed by AF. I hope yours leads to a better result than my experience.

[Deleted]

grover thanks! Unfortunately it looks like today or tomorrow will be cd 1.

[konapoppy]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTCA2L Cycle 1

2. Testing this week? Nope!
But I am going to start tracking my cycle in case my new dr wants to do 7DPO testing.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I am looking forward to meeting the new doctor next week! I think I will have two cycles where we can try before I go to India, which was the best possible outcome. Hoping he will confirm that is a good idea

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I got nothing today. I have two dogs? One is named Kona?

[turboteal]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since April, cycle 3, CD 62

2. Testing this week?
Negative as of this morning

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I called the doctor's office today to see what I need to do about my lack of AF. Left a message with the nurse line, no call back today, so I guess I will hear from them tomorrow. I'm ready to start a new cycle and hoping I will actually O this time! But also worried about what AF might be like since it's been a couple months.

4. Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I can't whistle in the normal way, I can only whistle at a really high pitch. It sounds more like a bird tweeting.

I'm pretty sure I have done this.....

Is the other named Poppy?

[HoneySpider]

turboteal Sorry AF still has not shown up.

[konapoppy]

You would think so, HoneySpider. But no, her name is Kula I call Kona "konapop" most of the time, but then I liked the play on the California poppy. But everyone reads it as konapuppy. Maybe that is a fun fact - I am terrible at screen names!

[kellikans]

konapoppy I have a pup named Kona too.

[grover]

konapoppy Do you mix up your pups when you are calling them by each other's names? Both our pups have names that start with the letter M and we are constantly going "Moo. No, I mean Max. I mean you there".

[konapoppy]

grover, only when at the vet do I mix up their names (you know, when it is most important LOL). I am probably saved by the fact that I call Kula "baby girl" or "kula girl" and kona "fat cat" or "kona pop".

Yours are soooo cute!

@macmars45 congrats!

1. TTC #2, CD 31, 13 DPO.

2. Omg, I've peed on at least 5 sticks. Nothing to report.

3. What in the blue fuck is going on? My chart this month is bizzare. I'm maybe at 13DPO, but all negative HPTs. Or did I O on day 21, for which we had awful timing and would put me at 10 DPO? What the blue fuck?


4. I have a bizzare love of the history of public works. I'm currently working on a lecture about the history of my town's water system!

[HoneySpider]

grover I mix my cats names up and they aren't even similar! (Smokey and Plinko) I think I'm just old and losing my mind
