Happy New Year!  I hope everyone's 2016 is off to a great start!

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, Cycle 4, 5DPO (Maybe, I'm not temping and I completely spaced on using OPKs until the day that I think I O'd)


2. Testing this week? 
No, I refuse to let myself.


3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms?
I was super optimistic about this month and was convinced I was having weird symptoms yesterday, but I know it's WAY too early and timing wasn't the absolute greatest.  I keep trying to talk myself down so I'm not disappointed when it's a BFN next week.


4. How are you adjusting back to business as usual now that the holidays are over?
I was in the office last week, but it was so dead.  I'm struggling to get motivated now that there are tons of people to talk to and we're in our busiest time of the year.

1. TTC since December 2013, one loss

2. Nope

3. I have to have a hysteroscopy done before we can move on with our next transfer. So it probably won't be until late February or early March. I'm really frustrated about the delay.

4. It was tough getting up this morning. I hate when the holidays are over and there really isn't anything else to look forward to for a while.

1. Where are you in your journey? - TTC #1. Cycle 37


2. Testing this week? - Nope


3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? - Not really. We have to push back our second IVF cycle due to work travel, so instead of going in January it'll now be February. It's a bummer and I'm upset, but not much I can do about it.


4. How are you adjusting back to business as usual now that the holidays are over? - Ugh...the struggle is real! I've officially hit the wall and am super tired...only a few more hours to go!

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

2. Testing this week?
Nope! I should ovulate next week when I am gone for business, so H and I are just going to have fun this month and if it works out like magic it would be great.

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms?
I am feeling really hopeful about next year. Getting past the EDD for my loss this year really helped.

4. How are you adjusting back to business as usual now that the holidays are over?
I am struggling to focus I really enjoyed my few quiet days in the office with minimal meetings!

1. TTC #2, cycle 3 after MMC, CD21 (not charting)

2. Maybe toward the end of the week?

3. I'm good this week :-)

4. I actually have another two weeks off (don't hate me!) and don't go back until the 19th, so I'm trying to get shit done until then!

1. TTC #2, cycle 11, 9 DPO

2. testing later in the week, probably 12 DPO, AF is due Sunday.

3. We had excellent timing but I've had the worst head cold, so I'm not hopeful. IDK, I guess I'm never hopeful. My in laws are wondering when we'll have another. They asked at new years if there would be another baby in the family soon. I laughed it off and just said "umm....no thanks." My FIL was asking me if everything was okay after that...I think we'll tell them if we start the IUI process. Or after we do an IUI, IDK.

4. I'm not adjusting well at.all. I'm still very sick. I am working from home but I need to get out of my house, out of pajamas, and get back into the groove. Ugh.

1. TTC #2 cycle 3 since H returned. CD4.

2. Nope not this week.

3. I had a Dr appointment yesterday, he said to temp for a month to see the temp rise after ovulating and if that happens, keep trying for 6 more months and if nothing happens come in again and we can look into testing.
4. The adjustment so far is not bad with H going back to work. Me and DS are keeping busy.

Oneslybookworm, sorry to hear you had to push back your ivf, that must be so frustrating.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2; Planning to start next cycle.


2. Testing this week? Nope.


3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I think AF returned last month, which would make sense since I stopped pumping, although I'm continuing to nurse while we are together.  Hoping AF makes an appearance this month, and then we will begin actively TTC.


4. How are you adjusting back to business as usual now that the holidays are over? Monday was ROUGH, but life is feeling normal again.

[mrsbunny]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since Jan '14 (lost track of cycles.) 2 losses. IUI #3 occurred on Monday.

2. Testing this week?
Nope. Testing date is Jan '18, which is awesome since I have that day off for MLK Jr Day. So no matter the results I'll be able to deal with it at home.

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms?
I think I already posted about my issues.   Just saw my therapist yesterday and am trying to get a grip on what is going on with my life. Preparing to start my final semester of grad school on Monday. I'm not looking forward to it as I do not feel rested after this break, but I'm so ready to be done! 

4. How are you adjusting back to business as usual now that the holidays are over?
My work actually gets busier during the holidays, so I've been working this whole time. This week is going to be the most intense at work. I think next week will be difficult as I'm returning to school schedule (full time student), internship, and still working. Ask me then.
