1. TTC since January 2015, 3rd cycle after loss, CD 22, 5ish DPO
2. Nope. I'm not feeling very good about this cycle for some reason so I'm just going to wait it out.
3. Even though our timing was good, I'm just not feeling it.
4. Anywhere but my tiny classroom! More specifically, I'd love a quiet day at the pool with a lot of sunshine and a good audio book.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since Oct '12, 3 losses, CD30, 11 DPO

2. Testing this week? I'm trying really hard to wait. I'll see if I can make it to Saturday

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? The usual. We are coming up to our 3 year mark. Thinking we might need to have a talk about what to do next.

4. If you could go to any destination for one last day of summer fun where would it be? Anywhere beachy. Some place that I can relax and sip on something great.

1. TTC since Nov. '13, TTCAL cycle 11, 4d post IUI
2. Nope.
3. First IUI this cycle! I'm swinging between, "I will definitely be preggo!" and "why the hell would this work, nothing else has". I'm trying to stay hopeful yet realistic.
4. Siesta Key, FL. Love that place. One of friends is there now and I'm having instagram jealousy.

TTC#1 since Jan 2012, 2 losses


2. Testing this week?
As part of my testing at the oncologist's office this morning I got to take a HPT to make sure it was negative. Ha. But otherwise, no


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
I'm just going to C&P my post from TTTC so sorry for the repeat for those who are there: 

We met with the oncologist this morning to try and figure out what's going on. Still seems the most likely explanation is a partial molar pregnancy but he did mention a few other things it could be, although he doesn't think so. So basically we have to just keep testing and probing and try to rule things out. We did some more urine and blood tests today and based on those results, he will order an ultrasound, chest x-ray, and/or specialized testing.



He did say he's not overly concerned because although not normal, my hcg is pretty low (12 at last 2 tests). It could just be the lingering effects of a mole because it can take a really long time for levels to get back to normal. Of course, later on he said if there is a mole and it's cancerous, the good news is this type of cancer responds really well to chemo and basically, people don't die from it. Um....good news? Way to freak me out after you said you weren't concerned!



I'm just frustrated and tired of dealing with this. I want things to be normal. Nothing about this entire TTC process has been easy, I can't even have a regular miscarriage. The whole thing is depressing. And I'm not supposed to get pregnant until this is figured out (which makes sense). We got "in trouble" for having unprotected sex but I haven't used protection in 4 years so it doesn't really cross my mind. The bitter infertile in me isn't worried.



4. If you could go to any destination for one last day of summer fun where would it be?
A day at the beach to just relax and maybe have a beer or 2 would be amazing right now

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 2014, 1dp5dt

2. Testing this week? well, i get to go to the RE for bloodwork tomorrow to check my progesterone, does that count?

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? i'm really hoping at least 1 of our 2 remaining embryos makes it to freeze.  it's REALLY scary to think about having to pay for everything again, not to mention doing it all again.  and i REALLY wish my RE hadn't said something about wishing we'd gotten more eggs before transfer yesterday....NO SHIT DUDE, ME TOO. but what the heck do you want me to do about it?

4. If you could go to any destination for one last day of summer fun where would it be? well i can't drink and i'm not allowed to swim, so BRING ON FALL, lol

TTC #1 since 2/14, two losses

2. Testing this week?
Nope! AF just got here!

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
We actually get to start trying again. Woo hoo! The antibiotics from my UTI (LOL WORLD) should run out before I O, so hopefully it will be a valid cycle!

4. If you could go to any destination for one last day of summer fun where would it be?
Beach in Hawaii with a tropical drink and lots of snorkeling and reading.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan '14. One loss. Cycle 16, CD28.


2. Testing this week?
I'm trying to hold off until Saturday for a pregnancy test if I don't get my period. I don't want to get my hopes up.


3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed?
If I'm not pregnant this cycle we are going to get the IUI next month. I'm really hoping I'm pregnant so I don't have to go through with that, but we'll see.

Also, FIL called and briefly spoke with DH yesterday. FIL is a toxic person whom we've limited contact with. Anyway, FIL told us (again...for the millionth time) that SIL who continually makes poor life decisions is pregnant. Then he made a joke that maybe the reason we can't get pregnant is because it's penance for DH being a "miracle child" (he was conceived about a year after his father had a vasectomy.) WTF? It doesn't even make sense. 


4. If you could go to any destination for one last day of summer fun where would it be?
I just met up with my younger cousin who is a freshman at the college in my hometown and she told me how she and some friends had just gone to the beach this last week. I would LOVE to go to Lake Michigan for just one more day!

1.TTC#2, Cycle 14, 1 loss, CD19

2. still opks every day

3. I'm still on the fence about whether to do the IUI with my OB next month or not. I have my first appt with the RE scheduled for 10/6. Since I haven't O'd yet it looks like that will be before CD1, so hopefully that will help with the decision. Speaking of O, it better happen soon. We are leaving on vacation Friday, and starting Saturday our sleeping arrangements will make it very difficult for any activity to occur. We've joked about doing it in the backseat of the truck like teenagers if we have to. Hey, maybe that'll be just what we need, lol.

4. well like I said we're going on vacation in a few days - Sacramento and Yosemite. I can't wait to be out of the office for a whole week!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, had a MMC/D&C in April. This is attempt nr 2, cycle 1 day 39

2. Testing this week? I already have as no period so far but BFN

3. Thoughts? Concerns? Hair-pats needed? I'm just anxious to finally get my period. I've had every symptom for over 10 days and still nothing. It's driving me crazy.

I actually called the dr and she said it's normal, I might even skip a cycle. She's sending me for a blood test next week. In the meantime, I'm going mental and keep running to the bathroom to check. I could do with calming thoughts.

4. If you could go to any destination for one last day of summer fun where would it be? Somewhere tropical for a day at the beach reading and drinking cocktails.

TTC #1 since October 2014. Second cycle on Clomid, 100mg. CD19, 3DPO.

The Clomid seems to have actually worked to move my O day up. It's usually CD19/20. I'm pretty irritated though that I got a number of false "high" days on the CBFM. Good thing I temped as backup.

No testing for another week. I've got an exam at the doctor on Tuesday.

One last day of summer? I hate summer. Grumblegrumble. It's too damn hot. DH and I are going to Ireland in 2 weeks. So we'll either be celebrating a BFP or I will be distracted from my sadness by an awful lot of Guinness.
