1) What is your status? Where are you in the process?
I am on cycle 12. I am 11dpo from my first injectables cycle and I started spotting today. I am devastated, I really had a feeling that this was my cycle.

2) Any AW or vents? I just told DH I can't do Christmas. Both his sisters have newborns and I just can't face it after this failed cycle. I may be being overdramatic but this is going to be hard.

3) What is your favourite children's book? Fitting for the holidays - The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. The movie is amazing too.

Hugs noelcallum. This is very shitty. And I dont blame you with avoiding newborns. I skipped a NewYrs party for that reason and we hadnt even started trying.

Thanks. I know I'm being melodramatic and will probably feel better tomorrow. I have just had a hard 12 months with both his sisters announcing their pgs, giving birth, showers etc all while I have month after month of disappointment. (they don't know we are ttc).

I'm so sorry to hear that noel.

1) What is your status? Where are you in the process? cycle 2, cd 22-no O yet, I think.

2) Any AW or vents? I have had all negative opks so far and temps are consistent. I should have started charting months ago. It makes me kind of disappointed that I don't even know my own body.


3) What is your favourite children's book? nothing specific. I like fairy tales.

Hugs Noel. I understand exactly where you are. I had to go to my husband's cousin's wedding after failed IVF number 3. I seriously wanted to hurt someone/anyone that weekend as the 36 year old bride was pregnant with an oops baby and I couldn't have one with multiple IVFs (and being 5 years younger). It did make getting pregnant all that sweeter. But it sucks in the middle of it. The best thing we did was go see a counselor who specialized in infertility counseling. Hugs.

hugs, noel.

1. Cycle 1, CD 5
2. I am wondering if I am being selfish by TTC now because I am not in the best health (overweight, high BP, and I am scared that my health will be detrimental to the baby. But the doctor gave me his blessing, the BP is controlled with meds, and I have a workout program in place, so hopefully all will be okay.
3. I LOVE children's books and reading them to my kids is one of the things I'm most looking forward to. I really liked Matilda by Roald Dahl. Also the Curious George and Amelia Bedelia books.

1) What is your status? Where are you in the process?
First cycle trying officially and I just started charting. However we haven't used protection in three years, mostly pull and pray methodology.

2) Any AW or vents?
I'm frustrated that we've waited so long and we both want a baby like yesterday. I'm struggling with my birthday coming up next month and would really really love a BFP birthday present.

3) What is your favourite children's book?
I had this as a kid and think it's even more sweet now.

ETA: sorry noel, that's really hard

congrats minniemouse! h&h 9 months to you!

[anna7602]

I'm sorry, Noel.

1) Cycle 7, CD 25 (I think)? I tested at 8 dpo and realized I need to put the testing strips away. I am going to drive myself crazy.

2) I tried to have the conversation with DH last night about when we might just come to terms with the idea of one kid if we don't get a BFP month after month. He was perplexed. Now I feel bad, like I am being negative or something, but I'm just tired of living in a constant holding pattern. There are so many things I haven't planned for the next year based on whether I will or won't be pregnant/giving birth, including job things for both me (whether I continue to freelance or not) and DH (whether he stays with a job with awesome health insurance just for the baby benefit v. changing jobs sooner). Gaaaaa.

3) So many to name just one. I think the illustrations in "The Color Kittens" are adorable and can see hanging them in a nursery one day.

Congrats, Minniemouse!!

Congrats minnie! I would just tell them when you get there. You still need a pap and it's best to get it out of the way.

[KaraOrNot]

Hugs noel.

Good luck statler!

Congrats minnie!

1) What is your status? Where are you in the process? Month 16. CD 29. Possibly 10DPO (not sure if my chart was accurate this month)

2) Any AW or vents? I am starting to get cramps, so I expect my period to start soon. Awesome.

3) What is your favourite children's book? Do Babysitters Club count? I honestly can't remember books that I liked and I don't read them now! ;D

[jewel]

What a pleasant surprise. I forgot about the day change! :-)

1) What is your status? Where are you in the process? TTC since Oct 2011, CD 13. I don't often get super dark OPKs, but I got one today. I send my husband this text "You better do me real good tonight - just had a good pee stick." LOL. I also added Conceive+ lube, green tea, POM juice, and pineapple this month.

2) Any AW or vents? Being around babies is tough. We got invited to an adult birthday party next week that includes "watching football and watching the kids," and there are plenty of small children and babies attending. However, they also said they'll order lunch from the best wing place on earth. I agreed to go wih my husband just because those hot wings are so damn good, and for free, I can't pass them up.

3) What is your favourite children's book? I really liked the Amelia Bedelia series.
