1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since July 2015, Cycle 4; CD 81

2. Testing this week? No, finally got all of the bloodwork back, Dr. put me on progesterone so that's good at least.

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? Just looking forward to finally starting another cycle.

4. What is your favorite book? What are you reading right now? I LOVE to read, many favorites, but I'm a huge fan of the Great Gatsby. Right now I'm reading "I am Malala"

ashap, I'm glad you finally got the bloodwork all done. Hopefully this will be the last of the super long cycles for you!


1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, cycle 6, CD 13

2. Testing this week? Just OPKs

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I finally bit the bullet and started temping last week. It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, even though I'm having to wake up for a couple of minutes at 5am on the weekend!

4. What is your favorite book? What are you reading right now? I'm the biggest Harry Potter nerd (duh, lol), so my go-to answer is always the entire HP series, but I'm not sure that's really true...I just read so much that I can't ever come up with a good answer! Right now I'm reading Outlander - I like it, but it's just taking me forever to get through it; probably because I'm in a rush to start Room next.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, cycle 1 after loss, CD 13

2. Testing this week? OPKS starting now. Getting faint lines, so should O soon.

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I am sick. 101 temp yesterday, nasty cough. Just what I needed for my first real cycle post d&c. At least DH isn't bothered at all by illness.

4. What is your favorite book? I love any of Charles de Lint's collections of short stories. What are you reading right now? Nothing because I wiped my ipad and lost all my books. Need to fix that this weekend.

1. Ttc#2, 1 miscarriage, 3rd cycle H has been home.

2. Yes, it was negative yesterday, but I ovulated later so I'm hoping it still happened, I'll test again Wednesday if my period doesn't show tomorrow when it would normally be due.
3. Not really, not today, been feeling fat lately so I think I'm gonna start working out again.
4. Favorite books would be Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels, not reading anything right now, I feel like I have very little free time, so when I have some I'm sewing or watching TV.

Edited to fix my numbers.

Loving all of the book recs!

ashap, glad you got bloodwork. CD81 is crazy making.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since 2/14, 2 losses
2. Testing this week?
OPKs
3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms?
We have a meeting with the RE on Thursday! I am hoping she will order some tests so we can see if we are working with any "faulty parts".
4. What is your favorite book? What are you reading right now?
I love all readable non-fiction (e.g., Henrietta Lacks, Jon Krakauer books, etc.). I also have a soft spot for celeb memoirs I just started In Cold Blood.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since March 2015. Loss the first week of February.

2. Testing this week? No

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms?
We are still working through our loss. I had my first prenatal visit at 7w2d on Feb 1. Found out the pregnancy wasn't viable, and started bleeding a few days later. STILL waiting on beta to go back to zero, and are sitting out until at least May per docs orders. Had a blood draw Friday...doctor's office called this morning, and my beta is at freaking 3, so I have to go back in. And my doctor's office is the opposite direction of my house from where I work, do so it's a pita to get in before they close.

4. What is your favorite book? What are you reading right now?
As an English teacher, I have a lot of favorites. To Kill a Mockingbird is probably my all time favorite. I'm currently reading At the Water's Edge. I can't think of the author's name off the top of my head, but it is the same author who wrote Water for Elephants.

Thanks konapoppy and duff!I'm not holding my breath on shorter cycles but at least I get to start a new one finally!

Dr also gave me clomid to encourage a normal O and cycle, but H is very reluctant so we won't be trying the clomid this cycle.

1. Where are you in your journey?

TTC since October. Cycle day 41. Chemical pregnancy last cycle

2. Testing this week? I was planning on it, but I started spotting, so I'm pretty sure I'm out for this one.

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I've been so nauseous for the past 2 days, so I'm pretty sure I've got some kind of bug.

4. What is your favorite book? What are you reading right now?

I love books. Hard to pick a favorite, but probably the Dark Tower series.

Right now I'm reading Morning Star by Pierce Brown.
