[rikiteacup]

1. TTC #1, cycle 4

2. No testing. Just started charting this week.

3. This is definitely not as easy as everybody make it sound. DH and I are on the same page though. We shut down any question regarding TTC. Whether it's from friends or family. And I know some people are biting their tongue because we are both 35+ and they want to KNOW if we have plans for kids.

4. I love cocktails with fruit juice.

1. Where are you at on this journey?
ttc#1, CD no idea
2. Any testing this week?
nope, I have another week of BC and than ultrasound on Monday

3. How are you feeling about all of this?
It's been a struggle. I was excited to start IUI and then the last 3 times I went have been a letdown because of a cyst. If it's still there at my next appt they want to have it removed which only delays things even longer. I've actually stopped talking about it all together with family. My dad pissed me off several months ago and he has yet to apologize which is starting to show that he's in his 60's but acts like a child. I haven't talked to him now in months which hurts, when I do call he doesn't answer and has removed me from his FB. It's times like this that make me really miss my mom and say it's unfair that she passed away so young

4. If you drink, what is your favorite?
cocktails and juice are always a favorite but in summer I love sangria. For non alcoholic lemon in a glass of water with ice

1. Where are you at on this journey? TTC #2, cycle 3 I think, CD 16, pretty sure 1 DPO.

2. Any testing this week? No.

3. How are you feeling about all of this? This cycle we actually tried, we’ve been not ttc/not tta the last couple cycles. I think we had good timing so hopefully it’ll take.

4. If you drink, what is your favorite? Peach Bellini.

[hazel]

1. Where are you at on this journey?
TTC1, Cycle 1, CD21 or so
2. Any testing this week?
No, waiting until at least Sunday when I get home from vacation. I ovulate around CD11-13, so that shouldn't be too early to try one.
3. How are you feeling about all of this?
Fairly positive! I'm at a bit surprised with how much I've analyzed everything my body does or how I feel. We've told people we were going to start, but I also asked my husband to not talk about it too much to others so people don't analyze everything I do all the time.

4. If you drink, what is your favorite?
My go-to is a Gin and Tonic. Love Rose too!

[grace]

1. Where are you at on this journey?
TTC #2, cycle 1, CD15
2. Any testing this week?
Yeah, OPKs.
3. How are you feeling about all of this?
Depends on the day! I've really wanted a second but some days it seems too real and scary!
4. If you drink, what
Lately I'm loving Corona and lime. Or a good margarita

[desertvibes23]

1) TTC #1 , cd 12
2) Yes! OPKs, hoping for a positive test this month.
3) very anxious and stressed. I wish I had tracked my cycles months before we started to try.
4) Vodka tonics!

1.  TTC #2, cycle 4.  CD14, so FW.

2.  No, I temp instead of OPKs.  Am doing that.

3.  Totally depends on the day.  This week, since I am not testing, pretty ok.  I am currently awaiting the results of BRCA testing, totally unrelated to TTC, and that is freaking me out but I know I won't take any action regardless of the outcome until #2 is not only born but weaned.  That makes it feel a little less immediate.

4.  Bordeaux

[biogirl21]

1. Cycle 1 TTC #2. FF says I ovulated June 28, but I haven’t gotten my period and have had negative tests, so I’m assuming that is wrong. I had a temp change last Thursday that’s looks like it could have been ovulation, so that would put me 8 DPO. Who knows though. I didn’t do OPKs because I didn’t want to feel obsessed yet. Lol to that.
2. Will probably test Sunday depending on temps. I really think odds are low this months. My temps are just driving my crazy. They are much higher than last time. Usually post ovulation I’d be in the 97.2-97.5 range. Now they are around 97.7-97.9.
3. I just want my period to start so we can really start trying. I’m not feeling great about the process in general. Last time was hell to go through. I think almost 2 years of TTC this time may actually kill me.
4. I love Fuzzy Navels. Lol. Vodka and cranberry for something simple. Or a strawberry daiquiri for something tropical.

[vmars]

1. Where are you at on this journey? TTC#2 - Cycle 2 Day 19. I should be Oing today or tomorrow per my OPK
2. Any testing this week? Nope
3. How are you feeling about all of this? A little crazy after 8 days of high fertility on my OPKs
4. If you drink, what is your favorite? White wine or a mai tai

I’m also going through the BRCA process. It is scary. Hoping for good results for you!

I realized I never answered myself and I'm ready to post the next weeks update

Anyways...

I am currently TTC#2 since last July, CD 21
No good sex to speak of this month so testing
I am feeling pretty old, and like mourning the fact that either we need to get REALLY serious about it (which will turn husband off) or it's not going to happen for us
I love drinking...everything. I seem to like the same things as everyone here but mostly melmaria, lemme know if you're in Baltimore and we can hit the bars
