1. According to ff I am 6 dpo but I think I am actually 7 dpo.

2. Nope

3. No real vacations but I am going with H to a training next week for a week in a different area. That being said if anyone has any Baltimore area things to do let me know! We also may go visit my family next month. We most likely wont take a baby moon.

[G22]

1. CD9

2. Nothing new to report.

3. Yes. Were taking a 2 week trip to Utah this summer. And going home in Sept and probably again at Christmas. And mini trips here and there.

I don't know if well plan a trip specifically as a babymoon. But well probably end up taking one last big trip after we finally get pregnant. So maybe?

[discogranny]

1. No idea really. Just waiting for first post-m/c AF to show up.

2. My follow up appointment is tomorrow. I am kind of nervous to get the results of our tissue pathology.

3. We are wanting to go to Oregon in June. We might do a Mexico weekend sometime between now and Aug too, but nothing firm planned. I doubt we would do a babymoon. After spending a large chunk of our baby fund on IVF, it would be hard to swing while trying to buy furniture, etc.

[Cheesecake]

1) Where are you in your journey?
Cycle 5 million and a half, 14DPO :-)

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents?
I have nothing (Oh, and I DD-ed the other post... Sorry!)

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg?
We never plan much more than 1-2 months ahead of time. We will be going to either the US or Italy, or who knows, we might do both for shorter trips (we usually do a couple of long weekend trips a year and 1 3-week-vacay, might change that to 2 two-week-trips this year to make sure we get to both Italy and the US. all depends on family circumstances.

I doubt we'll do a specific babymoon, since we will take a vacation no matter what before a possible baby would arrive.

[HoneySpider]

1) Where are you in your journey? Waiting for first post-D&E period...so glamorous

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents? DH & I really need to find some kind of release..we had what for us was a "blowout" yesterday morning (ie: 15 minutes of screaming and cursing at each other) over something really dumb. We need to not be turning on each other. Unfortunately, we are both super busy right now which I thought would be good to keep our minds off things, but not so good when you just want to find time to take care of yourself.

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? Nothing planned at all, I am sure we will visit my family (NJ) and DH's family (Chicago) at some point in the year, just don't know when. We're hoping to get new jobs and move this year so that might be our vacation, lol. If not, I want to go to New Orleans while we are still driving distance. I've never been there.

GL bronx and cheesecake!!

[mae141]

1) Where are you in your journey? Just started BC to get going with IVF.

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents?  I am seriously freaking out. 

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? None planned. DH just found out he's supposed to be best man in a wedding 1,000 miles away in 2 months. He had agreed to be best man, but we didn't know when/where the wedding would be until now. I really don't want to go because I don't have much time to take off work and it would be super expensive for us, but we may end up going. So that would be our vacation, if we take one.  

[pamela]

1) CD 8.

2) I scheduled my first intralipid infusion for Friday. I need to send my RE an email today asking a few questions about it. A few things make me nervous, but overall it seems like a pretty benign and not too expensive treatment so let's see what happens.

3) My grandparents came into some oil money and want to take the whole family on a trip. So they have rented a huge house in Florida that sleeps 16 (+ kids on the floors) for a week in July. DH and I are still hoping to do something by ourselves, but I'm holding out on scheduling too much vacation until we know if we're going to need 2013 maternity leave.

[linz]

1) Where are you in your journey? I'm testing this week and FREAKING out. I've been temping. Last week was around the same temp, weekend it went up a few degrees (I still woke up on time to take it) then today it dropped to what it was friday. I can temp tomorrow morning, AF should come wednesday. I was up all night scared I would have a huge temp drop in the morning and then realized that tomorrow is the important one - last month it dropped a ton the day before AF came.

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents?If this cycle doesn't work we're done for a few months. H will go in for his SA just to make sure that's ok. I've been doing ovulation drugs and I want a break. I'm under too much stress. Plus I want to run a half in April so if I'm not pregnant this cycle I don't want to be so I can focus on training. I'm really hoping this cycle is it! I've had no boob pain - which I usually get after O so kind of a weird one.

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? We're going this summer to visit family in DC. I'm excited. We'll go whether pg or not.

[BNL2]

1. CD 12
2. Scheduled for monitoring ultrasound Wed.
3.Nothing planned. We may go somewhere in June but we probably won't plan anything for a few more months. 

[discogranny]

Cheesecake - I am hopeful the smileys mean good things? As in no AF this morning? I hope you are being coy so you can tell your DH first then come back and let us know!

BNL2 - Welcome! I just read your intro. We are unexplained too, I hope an IUI is all you need and your stay with us is short.

[jewel]

1) Where are you in your journey? TTC since oct 2011, CD 19

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents? We had the first big meeting with the RE to review all testing and do an ultrasound. All my previous testing came back fine, but the US showed some scarring in my uterus, probably from the D&C. As expected, my husband's SA results were terrible. The doctor said that he is at the very bottom of the lowest counts he'll use for IUI. The doctor is willing to try as many IUIs as we want, but he believes we'll need IVF. He did say that the first IUI catheter should break the scarring in my uterus, which is some good news. So, the plan is to start IUI with clomid next cycle.

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? We hope to go to Hawaii or the Caribbean, but with the recent news of a possible IVF in our future, I'm not sure we should really spend the money. We also have a trailer and like to go camping, so we'll at least go out with the a few times this year.

Thanks for the welcome discogranny. I can already tell this is a great board.

Good luck to testers Bronx and Cheesecake this week - anyone else?  GOOD LUCK LADIES!!


1) Where are you in your journey? June 2011.  I've lost count.

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents? Second opinion on Friday with a new hopefully non-sucky RE to find out exactly what my diminished ovarian reserve means and an estimate of how much of a window we have left.  I'm still all over the place with what I want/don't want to do.  I'm still very up in the air about donor sperm.  I don't see us using a donor embryo and adoption is looking more and more appealing by the day.  I also sincerely think that I'd be okay living child free, but I know MH isn't on board with that. 

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? Yes, we do.  Bahamas in May with friends.  Maybe VA for a long weekend in June for my college reunion. Hoping for Ireland in the fall.  Waiting to hear where MH's spring work conference will be - I might tag along if the location is appealing.  The term babymoon bothers me, but yes, if pregnancy is in the cards, I'm sure we'll vacation at some point during it.  

[missbella]

1) August 2011, CD2

2) Dh and I saw the RE for our consult last week. She seemed nice and optomistic so I guess that's good. I have CD3 bloodwork tomorrow and CD10 bloodwork and ultrasound and an HSG next Tuesday. DH has his SA next Wednesday.

3) In a couple weeks we are going to Florida. It's our vacation but we are visiting/staying with my in-laws and my sister is coming too so it should be...interesting. Not exactly romantic.  As far as a baby moon, I think DH and I will probably want to go on one last child/worry free trip so we will probably do something.

[KaraOrNot]

1) Where are you in your journey? Trying since 8/2011. Today is CD 25, 9DPO.

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents? Just waiting for AF, so I can re-do my bloodwork.

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? For H's birthday, he wants to see his favorite band twice, so we will be going to Chicago and Fort Wayne in April. Nothing else planned. I don't know about a babymoon. I guess it depends on how much it costs to get pregnant!

[statlerwaldorf]

1) Where are you in your journey?  TTC#2 for 3 years.  CD21.  Possibly 1 dpo.

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents?  DH had a breakdown last night over TTC.  IF really really fucking sucks.

3)
QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you
going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg?  No.  All of our extra money has been going towards IVF.

1) Period started yesterday (we started TTC #2 last Dec or Jan - I can't remember exactly. I'm 37)
2) DH finally gave his SA sample so I can call the RE for an appointment tomorrow!
3) I'm hoping to travel with my mom to celebrate her 70th birthday.

[degal99]

1) Where are you in your journey? CD12, not-trying trying since last summer

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents?  Had my hysteroscopy last Thursday.  Haha, I can't stop being a nurse.  I asked them while still coming out of general if they had biopsied any of the polyp and were then sending them out for testing.  And I tried very hard not to comment when the nurse was explaining the PCBs (pneumatic compression boots).  Next Monday I get my "clomid" education.

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg? Grandma's been on a traveling kick lately, so we'll be going to Paris for a week with the family sometime this spring!   :Y:  Besides that just a couple long weekends.  We also go camping in the summer at the beach for a long weekend, and I always look forward to that.  I don't think we'll do any specific babymoon trips though.

[trufflefries]

1) CD 14. When I ovulate it's usually days 18-22 so I have a few more days before it's go time.

2) No updates really. Next appt isn't until late April unless I can somehow get it moved up.

3). Only "vacation" will be a trip home at Christmas to see family and possibly in Sept when my sister gives birth. If we can afford to go home twice (we're about 1100 miles away so it's either plane or a 2 day car trip).

[genet313]

1) Where are you in your journey?   Cycle I don't remember, too many, cycle day I don't know, I'm trying not to pay attention.  I'm just so sick of it all.

2) Any updates for us? Any testing this week/procedures? Any vents?  We just went off my insurance and onto DH's, and we just got our insurance cards.  I can't bring myself to call the DR to start the IUI process. I just don't really care enough right now.  I've totally lost interest in TTC, it's becoming very bad.  I'm hoping that my bday next month snaps me out of this and gets me motivated again.

3) QOTW - do you have any vacations planned for this year? Where are you going? Do you think you will do a babymoon once you get pg?  Not really.  We have a wedding in August in Wyoming that I would like to go to, hopefully we can turn that into a California/Napa/Tahoe trip.  We'll see.  I don't think we'll do a babymoon though.  If I do get pregnant, I would rather save the money for the baby.
