1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, Cycle 5, should be CD1, but no AF in sight yet....
2. Testing this week? I got a BFN on Saturday morning when I should have been 11 or 12 DPO. I'm trying to force myself to hold out until Wednesday to see if AF comes.
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I'm going to go ahead and start temping tomorrow morning. I've been trying to keep TTC as low key as possible, but my acupuncturist suggested giving it a shot (lol at "low key" when I'm going to acupuncture...but that IS mostly for my anxiety, which TTC has not helped). I'm also going to order some teas that she recommended.
4. How was your Valentine's Day? Did you do anything fun? It was mostly ok. I canceled the yoga class I teach on Sunday mornings, so H and I went out for breakfast and then to the brewery (where I teach said yoga class) to hang out and play games for a couple of hours. But we wound up arguing over everything and anything later in the afternoon, so it didn't end on the greatest note. We're going to have a make up Valentine's Day next weekend.
1. TTC since 3/2013, CD20 2. Had progesterone testing today. 3. Had our RE consult today. 4. We celebrated the night before with sushi. Yesterday I spent most of the day feeling light headed.

I hope those with progesterone testing this week get the answers you're hoping for! duff - You have more willpower than I! There's no way I could wait till Wednesday if AF was past due. Fingers crossed for you!
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1. Broken record style, same notes as last week: I'm still waiting for something, either AF or O, one month post d&c. I think I might be gearing up to O, but am totally unsure.
2. Testing this week? opks. Negative thus far.
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? Based on all signs but opks, I'm ovulating now. Which sucks, because DH is 2,000 miles away until Thursday. Hoping we don't miss it, but not expecting much.
4. How was your Valentine's Day? Did you do anything fun? DH was out of town, so I enjoyed some alone time and discovered that Netflix has a really crappy selection of movies.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since June 2015, CD 23, 1 DPO I think.
2. Testing this week? No
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I got my daith pierced tonight and am hoping it helps/gets rid of my migraines.
4. How was your Valentine's Day? Did you do anything fun? H was working but it was still a good day and I picked up Mexican food to go, which was delicious.
1. TTC #1 since March 2015. I don't know where I am cycle-wise. Currently waiting on my first post loss cycle...
2. Nope. Been sidelined for a few months per doctor's orders. Probably going to stop all tracking until then...We need a breather, both in relation to ttc and in life right now. Between unknowns with h's job right now, and our loss, we need a reset.
3. Waiting for beta to go back to zero. The last few weeks have been incredibly hard, and I'm so glad I have H. He had been so so so amazing. I'm sorry this is so Debbie downer. It's so sucky that it took almost a year to get pregnant, then experienced this, been told to wait 2-3 months...it's so hard. We are trying to be positive though - at least after 11 months, at least we know I can get pregnant.
4. It was ok. We don't typically do a lot, though our engagement anniversary was Saturday. I have a haircut scheduled for Friday, and may add a massage, per DH's request.
1. TTC #1 since December 2013, one loss October 2015
2. Nope
3. Had my post-op with my RE on Friday. I started my delestrogen shots and we'll be doing another transfer either late February or early March! Oh, and she told me to expect a light period. Yeah, its been anything but. I don't know if its been so heavy because its my first period after my miscarriage or what, but it sucks.
4. We didn't do much. DH got me breakfast at McDonalds, we worked in the yard, put my dresser together and watched the Walking Dead. We don't really celebrate, so it was like any other Sunday.

1. TTC #2 2 losses CD1 2. Nope 3. Finally started my period after my mc. Wohoo! I think we will casually try/not prevent the next couple months. I've spent the last 7 months pregnant or waiting after a mc so I think I need a break from that cycle. 4. We did potty training for my 2yo DD so the day was filled with that. DH got takeout from our favorite Greek place and we had that after DD went to sleep with wine and some bubbly. And then some awesome sex! So overall it was pretty good!

duff I have my fingers crossed for you! And I too admire your restraint. I would be peeing on all the sticks if I were you! Out of curiosity what teas were recommended?
1. Where are you in your journey? HCG numbers are finally back to 0 after what felt like a very long, drawn out ectopic pregnancy. It's almost 2 months from my BFP, and I'm still bleeding after 60+ days.
2. Testing this week? I've started temping. Not that I can do anything with it, but just a way to get familiar with my cycle for when we can try again. My gut says we were successful my first cycle of BCP, so I'm probably yet to see a "normal" month.
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I'm doing ok right now. Just hating the extra wait to try. Doctor said 5 months, but she's crazy and we feel like 3 is a more reasonable time frame, and it's what is often recommended.
4. How was your Valentine's Day? Did you do anything fun? Nothing special. Did some yard work, H cooked a nice roast, bought a rottatiller, etc. LOL.

I really don't have a good feeling that this is our month, so I think that's mainly what's keeping me from peeing on all the things. I think AF might be trying to come, but if that's it, it's the strangest period I've ever had. I finally broke down and told my sister last night (I can count on one hand how many people IRL know we're TTC) and she agreed that everything sounds strange this month.
The acupuncturist recommended that I buy full leaf nettle, red raspberry leaves, and red clover flowers. She said to take a loose handful of each, toss it into a mason jar, fill the jar with boiling water and cap. Leave it at room temp for four hours, then strain out the herbs and put the jar in the fridge. She recommended that I drink two cups per day.
She did say that you can buy premade teas with these herbs, but said that if I can find the whole leaf/flower, to get that instead. I did find all of them on Amazon, but have yet to actually purchase.
1 TTC #2, 1 loss, cycle 3 since my H got home. 2. No, did opks, looks like I had a positive earlier, b3aby dancing. 3. Not really. 4. Valentines day was great, Valentines night was awful. Someone shot in my across the street neighbors front door right as I was going to bed. It was terrifying and I'm really thankful no one got hurt and the police found the man who did it.
awick14, the bloodwork from earlier this week shows that I definitely ovulated. The nurse didn't tell me the range she looks for, but said my progesterone was a good level. Now waiting for CD1 so I can schedule the other testing.
