[callmehales]

1. Where are you in your journey?
day 7 of stims for IVF #1, TTC #1 since jan 2014


2. Testing this week?
do my 3 monitoring appts this week count?


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
i'm having a tough time getting out of my own head, and not stressing about my follicle counts.  i've only had ONE check so far, and i had 9 (2 were small)...but this is likely our only shot at an ER for awhile (money-wise) so in a perfect world i'd get lots so i can have lots in the freezer in case this time doesn't work.


4. What's your favorite color?
PINK! but like...bright ass obnoxious pink.  not cotton candy baby pink.  and glitter, does glitter count as a color? i love that too.

TTC #1 since Jan 2012, 2 losses, CD8

2. Testing this week?
Nope 

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I was supposed to see the specialist today but it got cancelled because my last beta (on Friday) was at 12, so I'm just going to get 1-2 more betas done and hopefully follow it back to normal. Overall I'm not really in to TTC right now, have some other stuff that's been keeping me busy/stressing me out and I'm definitely feeling over all of this. I'm giving myself some time to just get to a better mental state before we go into IVF. I'm aiming for the beginning of the year. 

4. What's your favorite color?
Blue

TTC #2/cycle 5/ 7dpo

2. Testing this week?
trying not to.. but we'll see how that works out.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I'm tired, like pure exhausted. This was my only real symptom with DD but ever since I came off of BC 7mths ago, this is standard PMS for me. I'm sick of being tired, going to sleep at 8pm, putting the TV on for DD because I have no energy to play, its not fair to her

4. What's your favorite color?
purple but more like deep jewel-tone purple/maroon

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan '14. One loss. Cycle 16, CD 14.


2. Testing this week?
OPKS. Got a + today so here's to hoping!


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?


In the last week:
- We got a letter from the IRS saying we owed $7,000 cause we messed up on our 2013 taxes. I think we figured out the problem though, and it's not on us. It was due to my schooling and the education trust I used is backing me up and says they've dealt with this before. So I think this will be gone soon! But still, lots of stress!
- DH got a concussion. His second time. At work. So we've been dealing with him feeling like crud the past week.
-DH went back to his 3-midnight shift so it's harder for us to see each other during the week.
- I started back at school and am finishing up with my degree this year. It should be a relatively easy year so I'm looking forward to it.

4. What's your favorite color?



Blue. Any and all shades, although I have an affection for green as well. Luckily, the two colors can easily merge and create gorgeous colors!

Good luck! Also, yikes about your H! How did he get a concussion at work?? Do they do anything to help with that, since it happened there?

1. Where are you in your journey?


TTC #1, cycle 3, CD 69

2. Testing this week?

It's been a week since the last one, so I guess I could, but I feel like I'm wasting strips


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?

I called my doc's office last week to see about Provera or what I needed to do. Called around 3:45, tried to speak to the nurse via the nurse line, but got the answering machine, which said to leave a message and they'll call back, but if it's after 3:30 they would call back the next day. OK, left a message, went to work that night, came home and went to bed in AM. Woke up around 3:20, they hadn't called back, so I called and left another message. Worked again that night. Next day was Friday, they close at like 1pm so I woke up and called around 12, no answer, left a message. Yesterday was labor day so they were closed. I'm working tonight, so I slept all day, and no call again...this is annoying. I'm working again tomorrow night, so I really don't want to stay up after my shift until they open and I don't want to get up earlier than 3 tomorrow afternoon. I guess I will try to call around 3 and hope they answer. Otherwise I will have to stay up after work on Thursday morning and see if I can talk to the nurse by calling right when they open. I haven't tried talking to the answering service or anything, because this really isn't an urgent issue. But I am quite annoyed that they haven't returned calls.


4. What's your favorite color?

Teal! Or any shade that is a combo of blue and green. It's popular right now, which is nice.

[kellikans]

1. TTC #1 since December 2013, FET #2 this Thursday

2. Nope

3. Just really hoping I get pregnant this time. If it doesn't work, we may have to take a break until after the holidays because we have a lot of travel coming up.

4. I'm a neutrals girl, but I do love green

[konapoppy]

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

2. Testing this week?
OPKs just so I can get an indication of my cycle being back to normal.

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I am excited to meet my new doctor Thursday. It isn't like he can make me pregnant at the appointment, but it will be nice to have a fresh perspective. And the perinatologist I love already talked to him about me and my history. Let's hope I don't cry through the whole appointment.

4. What's your favorite color?
Celadon

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since March 2015, CD 14

2. Testing this week? OPK's

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? This month is the first month that I really have let like e have had a shot. Dh has actually been home so we have been BD every other day since my period ended. Fingers crossed!

4. What's your favorite color? Purple. Any shade.

[grover]

1. TTC since March 2013. CD3.
2. No
3. Just feeling ugh, especially as more people are starting to lap us. At this point I'd be happy to be one and done, if we could just get pg with the one.
4. Teal and hot pink

1. TTC#2, Cycle 14, CD 6

2.opks next week

3. C&P from MMM: I have lots of thoughts and feelings, lol. This last AF really sucked. Last weekend was also the EDD of the pregnancy I lost. When it happened I really never considered the possibility that I wouldn't be pregnant again by the time the due date arrived. It's like a kick in the gut. I'm having a lot of conflicting feelings about what to do next. We've done two medicated cycles, we might do IUI next month. But I'm not sure if we should switch to an RE first. My H doesn't want to. He thinks I just need to work out more and that will fix everything. Which of course comes off as very hurtful to me, although he swears he doesn't mean it that way.

4. yellow! it's so cheerful

I wish I had an interesting story, but I don't. He works IT and was underneath a desk and stood up quickly and hit his head. He had a little gash (no need for stitches or anything) and has struggled with concentration. It's documented, but we haven't had any bills or unnecessary time off to deal with it, so it's fine. The three day weekend helped a bit, I think.
