1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, Cycle 2, CD31, still waiting to O.
2. Any testing this week? Nope. Stopped taking OPKs after my + on CD21. I'm starting to ponder if I should start taking them again or if I should just keep waiting for a temp spike.
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I'm trying a new skincare routine, and I really like it so far. It's more steps than I'm used to, but I've only been using it for two days and my face already feels soooooo soft.
4. What is your favorite season and why? Fall, mostly because of football and pumpkin flavored everything.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 >1 year. Cd 14
2. Any testing this week? I go in for monitoring today. Did femara and follistim this cycle so hopefully things are big enough to do a trigger shot today.
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I started doing acupuncture as well and it is super relaxing. I go for my second appointment today
4. What is your favorite season and why? Fall. Cooler weather where we can actually enjoy being outside
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, cycle 3, CD 19, 2 DPO
2. Any testing this week? Nope
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I survived dancing in Dublin Irish Festival for my eighth year! Now I'm basically going to be sleeping for a week.
4. What is your favorite season and why? Spring. I love the not-too-cold-not-too-hot weather and I love all the flowers and budding trees. The street my church is on is lined with pear trees that all blossom at the same time, and it's the most beautiful thing.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, cycle 11, CD19, ~4-5 DPO
2. Any testing this week? nope
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? anelms - I'm curious about acupuncture - I've had a few folks swear by it for fertility but it's not covered by my insurance and i'm typically a "traditional medicine" type of person. tell me all about it. On another note, I start Femara next cycle and I'm oddly relieved that there will be so much monitoring/direction on conceiving. I often feel like I'm doubting myself of when we should be trying, frequency, etc.
4. What is your favorite season and why? I'm such a summer girl! I hate being cold. I would love in AZ year round if I could convince H. Instead we just go at least 1x month in the fall/winter/spring

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2, cycle 8, CD7
2. Any testing this week? no
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? We had a great weekend. The weather was perfect. larzhope, I'm taking Femara right now and I feel the same way!
4. What is your favorite season and why? Fall. There's all kinds of fun fall activities in our area and I just don't handle hot weather very well anymore.
This is my first cycle trying it. I am also heavily science minded but I am willing to try anything at this point. The acupuncture itself is not painful at all. It is working to basically balance the body and direct energy and warmth to the uterus.
She said they typically say it takes about 3 months to see a difference in your cycles, but we are doing it in combination with medicated cycles
She gave me a list of foods to eat and some to avoid. She also gave me an incense that we light and then hover over the lower stomach during the first half of my cycle. It is supposed to be warming.
I'm trying to keep an open mind, it's all OOP but everything is for us. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask
1. TTC #1, 5 Cycles (7 mths), CD22 but still waiting to O
2. CBFM has been "High" for over a week, but still no peak, I have 3 days left of testing left this cycle
3. I leave tomorrow for a work trip. So we will prob BD in the morning and hope that is good enough. Based on last cycle (which no 2 in the last 7 mths have been the same so I'm not holding out much hope) I should O on Thursday, so about 48 hrs later, not really good enough And unfortunately I am scheduled to be away at the same point next month. sigh.
4. Fall! I love the cool weather, apples, pumpkins, leaves changing, and my birthday!
somersault72 - have you experienced any side effects yet on the Femara? the reason I opted to do that instead of Clomid is the side effects are supposed to be less, but I'm still a bit nervous.
larzhope, I did Femara the cycle I had my successful IUI last year. The only side effects I remember were headaches (though I get those a lot anyway, so not sure if it was the femara) and some bloating.

I've taken 2 tablets so far. I did have a headache yesterday, but nothing else to report just yet. I had zero issues with Clomid last month, my doc just switched me because Femara is better at thickening the lining.

Ha! I was coming in to ask this, too, so thank you

1. Where are you in your journey? Still not actively trying but have our first RE appointment tomorrow! 2. Any testing this week? Nope, yesterday was CD1. 3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I am reeeeeeally enjoying being on vacation this week. We are just staycationing and vegging out and it's awesome. 4. What is your favorite season and why? Summer! I'm so bummed it's been so cool and rainy most of the summer here. Fall is also nice though so hopefully it will be less of a bust.
1. Where are you in your journey? Not yet trying. I got my IUD out mid cycle. I appear to be CD 21 7 dpo. Hoping to get my period next week so we can officially start trying.
2. Any testing this week? No.
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? One of my coworkers was overly rude to me today. She is one of those people who you just never know what you are going to get with her. One second everything is fine and the next she is mad and attacking you. I keep my distance from her but she still got me today.
4. What is your favorite season? Why? Like a few others Fall is my favorite. The weather is perfect. I can open my windows and enjoy watching football on tv. I am not a big pumpkin flavored food person but I sure do like the scent so I stock up on the bath and body sweet cinnamon pumpkin soap.

Hi, I'm jumping back in.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, m/c in July
2. Any testing this week? OPKs to see if I can possibly catch my FW
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I had my last blood draw on Monday and my hcg levels are back to normal. I haven't had a period but I'm going to just see if I can get lucky and catch my FW. I had some additional tests done to see if they can figure out why I'm having losses but so far everything has been normal. So, we keep plugging along.
4. What is your favorite season and why? Fall! Cool weather, pumpkins, football, changing leaves, I love it all
