1. Cycle 2, CD 16 of TTC#2 still no sign of O after getting off BC although I've been lazy about charting. I have taken some dollar store OPK tests but they have always been negative.
2. Just really tired this week and busy at work. I got Wednesday off for the fourth last week and it was nice haivng two "short" weeks.
3. Ummm..chasing after my toddler on the weekends/at night. That's about as much exercise as I have energy for!

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 17, CD26, 9DPO
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I am torn on what to do next cycle if this one hasn't worked....Femara, injectables, IUI? I feel like I'd rather just move on to IUI but I'm not sure if I'm just being impatient.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? LOL...uh....walking the dogs? I haven't been exercising lately. My excuse is that it's too damn hot and we got rid of our gym membership.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD3 or 1 it's debatable, starting injects tomorrow!
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I have so many drugs, is that normal? 75 Gonal F + 75 Menopaur for 10 days! Then adding in Gannerelix or something I can't spell. It seems like so much.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? Walking around Montreal!

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 2, CD13
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? We hung out with my nephew this weekend and had a lot of fun. But as much as I think we are ready for a baby, I also really like sleeping in and doing kid-free stuff.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? H and I like to go for a jog after dinner. It gives us time to catch up while we walk at the beginning and end, and forces me to exercise!

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle #3 with the RE (trying since last year). I'm on CD3, and had an u/s this morning and things looked fine. I'm starting another injectables cycle. It will be Gonal-F+trigger+IUI.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I'm tired of TTC. I'm tired of going to the RE. I'm just tired in general.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? I ran 3 miles yesterday and hope to do 30DS tonight and run again tomorrow. We'll see if that happens.
It's that time again. Check in here if you are trying to conceive!
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey?
Cycle # 6 or 7, 6 or 7 DPO, according to all opk calculators/websites we timed it perfectly this month
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?
Broke down and took an ept - it was negative - trying to stay positive that it was probably just too (way way way too) early. Will test again next week.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week?
I try to run/walk at least 30 min every other day on the tread mill. I'm planning to bump that up to 45 min OR 30 min every day though. I have 18 more lbs to lose before I'm out of the 'obese' BMI range.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle #6, CD 18, 1DPO
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I'm at the point where I hate TTC sex (we both are). We have been busy going at it this week which has been stressful, I have been super busy at work which has been stressful, and I had a breakdown (probably unnecessarily so) over my dissertation which has been stressful. It just seems like in the last few days, everything going on in my life has been crazier than usual and it's stressing me out so much I am literally sick to my stomach. The good news is, all 3 things should (hopefully) calm down in the next day or 2. I am just praying this is our month.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? Eh, so far not much - been exhausted. Went swimming in the gulf on Sunday, but nothing the last few days other than a lot of running around on campus.
1. Cycle 1, CD 13 (And completely freaked out, but good freaked out)
2. DH is super into TTC sex, mostly b/c I think he thinks if we just have tons of sex then it will make a baby. I'm fine with that b/c if he wants to do it, that's a lot better than having to do it.
3. We walked the beach a ton last week on vacation, but this week it's been hard with the weather and getting back to work, but I need to keep walking regularly. Hot yoga Thursday though.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Stalled. Trying to figure out the cause of DH's horrible sperm count. Trying to lose weight... saving $$ for IVF if we can't get DH's sperm count up.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? DH had a scrotal ultrasound yesterday. His nuts look fine. So it sounds like the sperm issue may be related to his weight or the meds he takes for migraines.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? We are both using MFP now to track our eating, and we are going to the gym. I am trying to get into swimming again. The 30 minutes I did on Monday wiped me out. How did I make it through 90 minute practices as a kid?!
well, we weren't planning on TTC this month but we had sex the day before I O'd... so we're waiting to see what happens. I sort of wanted to lose 20 lbs first (I'm down 10) but whatever happens, happens. 12 DPO but my test was negative this morning.
Exercise- I did some yoga yesterday, plan on 45 min on the elliptical tonight.
1. Cycle 1, I tested 3 days ago - BFN. I was sad. Now I'm just waiting for my period. I know I should start charting but I don't want to. I'm going to try OPKs.
2. After tomorrow I'm on vacation for 10 days (not TTC related, I know).

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 2, CD 19. FF says that I'm in my fertile window now, and DH leaves for an OOT trip tonight, so fingers crossed!
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? A friend came over to visit the week and she seemed a little funny after she came out from using the bathroom. I have a feeling she may have opened our vanity drawers and seen my OPKs and PG tests. I may be wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? I usually work out 4-5 days, bootcamp, HIIT and weights throughout the week.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD35, I think 9DPO.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? Took a test this morning, negative. In non-TTC news, I start a new job in 2.5 weeks and we're trying to sell our house. Good times all around.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? I was a slug last week, it was too hot to even walk. This week things have cooled down a bit, and I've been doing long walks over lunch, as well as aggressive house cleaning and scrubbing and moving loads of stuff either to the basement for storage or to Goodwill.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 10, CD 26, still haven't fucking ovulated :@
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I'm just super pissed that I haven't O'd yet
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? I went running today and Sunday. H and I are going to a weight lifting classt this evening, I'll do kickboxing tomorrow, a lifting class Friday and some kind of cardio on Saturday, perhaps Zumba and then a lifting class
I can't believe I'm "coming out" here - this is the first I've mentioned of our TTCing to anyone, IRL or online. Eeek.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 2, CD 21
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? This is my first month charting. I'm also using CBEFM and OPKs, and really thought that I O'd on Sunday (among other signs, my boobs started hurting that afternoon, and my boobs always hurt during the time between O and my period). FF hasn't pinpointed ovulation yet, but if I put in dummy temps for tomorrow, it says I O'd on Monday. Anyone have an opinion? www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3d77b6
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? We just got an elliptical, so I've been using that quite a bit.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle #1, CD45 - this is my first cycle after coming off BCP and it's lasting forever! However, I just got +OPKs for the past three days, so hopefully I'm gearing up to O soon...
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? Nada, just tired of this heat and humidity
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? C25K and swimming

We were supposed to be TTC RIGHT NOW and I am ovulating RIGHT NOW, but we freaked out and decided to wait instead, mostly due to finances, which I am really sad about.
Specifically, we need our damn house in MN to sell RIGHT NOW.
Did you notice all the right nows? I am feeling a little tense about all this, obviously.
Last month was our first month of "not preventing" but I wasn't charting or anything. I thought I could tell my O date by CM but my period actually came 5 days early so I dunno. I'm trying to temp this cycle but it seems almost certain that DH will be out of town for work when I ovulate. Waiting a few months would be better for work/financial reasons anyway.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?
AF came early and with crazy PMS symptoms. Well, they are during AF not pre- but they suck.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week?
Nothing, ugh. This has been bothering me. I think I have cabin fever from the heat! My friend and I just made a pact to go walking and/or jogging starting this weekend.
I can't believe I'm "coming out" here - this is the first I've mentioned of our TTCing to anyone, IRL or online. Eeek.

I'm not a charting expert by any means but I would guess Sunday. GL
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Last week (wed and Thurs) we had back to back IUIs. I sure hope they work.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I moved into a bigger apartment. Things are still hectic and messy, but once we get settled in it should be good. We also got back from a 2 day trip to Sesame Place. It was really fun.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? not nearly enough
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 7, day 10. However, we are taking the summer off from actively TTC so I haven't really been tracking anything.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? It has been really, really nice to take a break from stressing out about timing sex, temping and checking CM.
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? I bought the Brazil Butt Lift system off amazon so I will do that, and maybe go for a jog or bike ride with H.

I wonder if its thinking mondays was at the coverline and it will take one more high temp to count and then it will say you O'd on Monday. I am also not an expert though.

I've posted in these a couple times, but I'm excited to not be in the negative cycle numbers this time. :-)
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 1, CD 3
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I'm not looking forward to negative pregnancy symptoms, but not having menstrual cramps for a while will be welcome. They're killing me today. :-(
3. QOTW - Exercise! What are you doing to stay in shape this week? We just joined the Y and I've been swimming. I figure I've got about 6 weeks (if we're successful this cycle) before MS kicks in, and I want to be in the best shape possible before then.
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
1). Month 8 or 9. CD 19 2). Our timing should be good this month, as we are in vacation and i should ovulate while we are away. If it doesn't happen this month, I have a plan to have some additional testing done. 3). Walking around Vegas!
