1. Where are you in your journey?

2. Testing this week?

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms?

4. How did you and your SO meet?

[ashap]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#1 since July 2015, Cycle 5, CD 37

2. Testing this week? Still using OPK's but I'm just confused at this point with where I am

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I'm finally getting trip reviews and regular blog posts up! yay!

4. How did you and your SO meet? We met while he was working and I happened to be there (shamelessly flirting with him) we started dating a week later.

1. TTC#2 since October 2015. Cycle 5 (I think) CD 6.

2. Maybe OPKs later in the week.

3. I'm really working on losing some weight, hoping that will help. I'm around the same weight I was when I conceived DS, but my doctor wants me to lose before starting Clomid, which will be in August if I don't get pregnant before then, so I'm trying. It's very slowly but surely going.

4. Online, but we also had mutual friends.

[kellikans]

1. TTC #1 since December 2013. One loss. Just did our third embryo transfer on Friday.

2. Not sure if I'll test early or not. I tested at 6dp5dt last time and got a positive. If I test this week, it'll be Wednesday and I'll be 5dp5dt. So it might be too early. Beta is 4/20.

3. I just really hope we get a healthy take-home baby this time. I've been through the emotional wringer and its been so hard. I've been having twinges and mild cramping every so often since Saturday, so I'm hoping it's a good sign. I also had cramping with my BFP last transfer.

4. On a Ford Mustang message board.

kellikans , good luck!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#1, cycle 8, 7 DPO

2. Testing this week? No, I'm going to wait until next Monday or Tuesday.  MH and I are going to Denver with some friends Saturday through Monday.  They know we're TTC, but if I were to get a positive test, I want to be able to celebrate alone with MH.  We'll see though - my friend knows I"m in the TWW and she's threatened to pack a test just in case she makes me change my mind.  LOL

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? This is the first month that I'm not dying to test.  I'm just 100%, absolutely sure that this is not our month.  I'm surprisingly not at all bothered by that either...this is the first month since we've started TTC that I'm not stressed out about it.  Which means that every once in a while I'll start thinking "OMG what if it's a sign that I DON'T think it happened?!"  Because I'm crazy.     

4. How did you and your SO meet? We were actually a blind date...set up by my ex-boyfriend's BFF.

GL kellikans!
You can do it ridethelightning!
duff, enjoy not being stressed!

1. TTC #1 since 2/14, 2 losses
2. Yep! Official test is next Monday, but I will check earlier.
3. I am disappointed that the meds make me feel yucky. If this cycle doesn't work, H wants to skip future medicated cycles. I don't agree with him. I feel like a baby.
4. We met at work. We used to work so close to each other that we could hear each other on the phone all day. I am glad those days are over!

[FishChicks]

konapoppy - I'm sorry the meds are no fun. I wonder if you get "used" to them in future cycles?
duff - Wow, the no stress attitude is great. Can you teach me how to channel that?
kellikans - Hugs to you. I've got my fingers crossed for you.
Adora Belle Dearheart - You mentioned ultra sensitive cheapies - I was stunned to find out that the Wondfo's I have registered a faint but clear line the same day my beta was 11. I was really impressed.

1. TTC #1 since 10/15, 2 losses, current 4 DPO

2. No, no testing this week. I leave for a conference out of state, so I won't be able to test until after my period should have started.

3. In 2013, we moved from Southern CA to MN. The conference I"m going to is back in my old neighborhood, so I'm catching up with all my friends and family, as well as a ton of people in my industry that I enjoy spending time with. I am super excited. Also - I will get In N Out for the second time since 2013 and I can't wait!

4. I tripped him with a hose on move-in day, freshman year of college. We lived in the same dorm for two years. The tripping thing might explain why he dated my roommate's older sister for the first year I knew him!

[grover]

1. TTC #1 since 3/13.
2. Wasn't planning on it, but I've been feeling off all day. If I'm still feeling off on Saturday I'll test then.
3. If this cycle didn't take, we're benched by the RE til June. At that point I will be doing IUI #1.
4. I lived in dorm room 669, he was in the room directly above mine in 769.

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 1. CD30

2. Testing this week? I have become a POAS addict. I did not test this morning, but as of yesterday tests were still negative.

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? We just moved into our new home. We have soooo much work ahead of us.

4. How did you and your SO meet? At the wedding of a mutual friend

Lol the only reason I'm not stressed is because I'm so sure it's not our month. But talk to me later in the week... I'm sure I'll get back to my crazy, stressed out self.

I trust you I will say, the first time I got pregnant we literally had unprotected sex once that month. I was shocked when I got a BFP.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2, Cycle 2, CD13

2. Testing this week? Nope

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? Nothing too exciting today

4. How did you and your SO meet? We lived in the same freshman dorm and had a lot of mutual friends but didn't start hanging out and dating until sophomore year.

[glauren]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 since October '15, 2nd cycle since my D&C, CD 7

2. Testing this week? Maybe OPKs this weekend

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I just found out I'm one of the final candidates for an awesome job - if I get it, I think we'll postpone TTC for a few months to ensure I'm covered by FMLA if I get pregnant. I am NOT a "plan your life around TTC" person, but I had a job offer the last time I was pregnant that burned me a bit (and then I ended up m/c anyway).

4. How did you and your SO meet? We worked two jobs together one summer! 

[FishChicks]

Good luck with the job glauren, that's really exciting.

Thank you!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#1, CD3, Cycle 2 after EP

2. Testing this week? No. 

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? I did end up O'ing late (CD27) last cycle, but had a 12 day LP so that was encouraging. More importantly, I'm hoping this cycle goes a little faster because we're officially ready to start trying again next cycle!

4. How did you and your SO meet? Through a mutual friend. Then we got sloppy drunk at a party. I was 20, he was 21, and he held my beer for me while I took a walk when the cops showed up.

[PatBenatar]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 - I'm pretty sure I just got my first period following my miscarriage in March, happy to be moving forward

2. Testing this week? Nope!

3. Any AW's, hair pats, randoms? Man it's been busy at work = not much time to GBCN

4. How did you and your SO meet? We worked for competing rental car companies. I had a crush on him so I lied and told him my friend backed out of a concert and asked if he wanted to go (in reality, I bought a ticket just for him, but didn't want to seem desperate) I fessed up the next day lol.
