1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since 2/14, 2 losses, 3rd cycle after a loss
2. Testing this week? Nope! Will test next week
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I am feeling optimistic about this cycle, but I don't know why. I think I might buy an ovulation monitor to use going forward. Anyone have any recommendations?
4. What is your favorite TV show? I like a lot of TV - Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Fargo, Elementary, Fresh Off the Boat, Jane the Virgin are at the top of the list. I have binged The 100 in the past 2 weeks. It is so good.

1. Where are you in your journey? - TTC #1 since May 2013. Cycle eleven billionty, CD4.
2. Testing this week? - Nope
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? - Just got off the phone with my clinic for our IVF cycle next month. Ugh...why are fertility treatments so damn expensive!
4. What is your favorite TV show? - Oh lord...I used to never watch TV, and now I feel like I have a ton of shows I like. Torchwood, Fixer Upper, Agents of SHIELD, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Doctor Who, and Bones.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#1 since July, Cycle 4, CD39
2. Testing this week? Nope
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? Temping this month, on day 39 and I STILL don't have a clear temp shift. Not sure what to make of that.
4. What is your favorite TV show? ugh I have a LOT of TV favorites: I'm into fluff like Dance moms and Gray's, love all CSI's, but am also into Narco's, House of Cards, Downton, Ray Donovan, Shameless, The Wire.
1. TTC #1 since March 2013 2. Nope 3. Just scheduled my first RE appt. Feeling nervous, relieved and scared. 4. RIght now, Quantico and Chicago Fire. I agree with those who said Lost, Supernatural, and Criminal Minds though
1. Where are you in your journey? Starting over, as of today. Yesterday I had a d&c for a missed miscarriage, found at 9 + 3. Now it's back to waiting to see when (if) my cycles start again.
2. Testing this week? Nope.
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? The d&c was a lot easier than I had worried about, but having to say why I was there, over and over and over, sucked. I appreciate it's for safety reasons, and everyone was understanding, but by the tenth time I told someone I was having a suction d&c, I was ready to sob.
3. My temp spiked almost a full degree this morning. It could be an outlier, but it wouldn't be the first time I ovulated (or appeared to ovulate) super early (usually O day 11). We had good timing, but I'm not hopeful if this is really a day 9 ovulation. I'm really happy we're seeing an RE in a couple weeks. A piece of me thinks I'm not really ovulating or something. We're going to tell our families after we see the RE too.
1. Uh, like cycle 17? 2. Nope, AF came on Friday, so I'm day 5. 3. Nope, but I'm probably starting a new job in a few weeks. I went to get my varicella vax on Saturday and forgot my insurance card, so I'm still working on that. Scheduling IUI for April or so. 4. Top Chef
1. TTC #2, 1 loss, 3rd cycle since H got home. 2. Nope 3. We've all been massively sick, I'm still sick, and I just called H to come home early, I need his help and hairpats. 4. Supernatural, but I also like Chicago fire, bones, Dr who, GoT, and EVERYTHING BBC, except I still haven't started downtown Abbey.

Ugh, I feel bad b/c there are so many who have been TTC longer, and so many tough stories w/losses. But I'm really struggling today.
I'm usually pretty clinical about TTC stuff, but the 'news' that I may have already O'd on CD 9 is messing with me. Of course, googling 'short follicular phase' sucked. Now I'm thinking I should have stopped drinking, and even my casual alcohol consumption may be contributing to all this. Or perhaps the short phase means I'm running out of eggs or something.
Sorry for venting the crazy....I'm just super bummed out right now.

simpsongal I don't think you should feel bad or crazy. I'm usually pretty clinical about everything, super rational to the point of being cold. TTC, though, man it has definitely brought out the emotional side in me. I agree with awick14 - this is a tough process mentally, physically, and hormonally and no one should feel bad about feeling during the process.
That was my logical side responding. My emotional side sends you a hug and is going to go eat a cupcake to make myself feel better!
Thank you all for the kind words. In a good update, my temp dropped this morning and it looks like I'm getting a + OPK, so probably not an early ovulation like I thought. Fingers crossed this is it (we'll find out ~the day of our RE appointment).
I'm just going to jump in here y'all. Hello everyone!
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC for #2. I have PCOS and conceived DS with the help of a RE, Metformin, and Clomid. We stopped preventing almost 8 months ago. I started charting in November and its CD17.
2. Testing this week? I've been using OPKs but I missed 3 days of temping and my temp was 98.2 today. Hopefully I didn't miss ovulation.
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? DS is cutting molars so hair pats are welcome!
4. What is your favorite TV show? Bloodline, Longmire, Archer, and Walking Dead are all favs.
