1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? BFP on Thursday, second beta today!
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? See above!
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? I feel like we are most like Marshall and Lily of HIMYM. Maybe slightly less annoying.

Congrats on all the BFPs this week! Must be something in the water
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 6, CD 25, 8 DPO
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I tested this morning and it was negative. I know it's early so I'm trying to not be disappointed. I've been having what may be early pregnancy symptoms but I also think I could just be sick. My body is mean to me.
We're going OOT tonight for a wedding & visiting the in laws so I'm going to try and just have fun and not stress. I originally wasn't planning to test until we got back but I'm impatient. I'm packing a few tests just in case.
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? Doug & Carrie from King of Queens - we are always saying how we are like them! (But my dad doesn't live in our basement, haha)

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 2, CD20? 5DPO?
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? Stupid FF predicted O on CD21 (my last cycle was really long) but switched it to O on CD15 even though I didn't see a positive OPK yet this cycle. I will admit that I haven't read TCOYF and I don't really get how all of this charting and shit works. We've been doing it like every to every other day so I'm just hoping this one works because we have to take next month off if it didn't. GAH.
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? I like to say that we would be Claire and Phil Dunphy but H doesn't like that and I am not as hot as Claire. But I do actually think we have similar qualities except that H is slightly less nerdy.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD14, 7th day of stims
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? 3 nearly mature follicles today!
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? Hmm maybe a less annoying version of Meredith and Derek. He's rational and kicks butt at his career. I'm a dreamer who sometimes can't make up her mind. But we have fun together.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? I'm in the middle (no idea what day) of an injectables+IUI cycle. This morning, I had two follies at 10 and one at 12mm. Hoping the 12mm pulls ahead and we just get one good one.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? My estrogen levels went down between Saturday and Monday, so that's not good. Hoping they went back up today.
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? Reagan and Chris from Up All Night. Sometimes they're conversations are identical to things DH and I say. And, I puffy heart Will Arnett.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 2, CD26 6 DPO
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? DH was OOT during O, so I've got my fingers crossed, though trying not to get my hopes up.
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? A mix between Cliff and Claire Huxtable (because we're on the same team, respect each other and are nice to each other with very rare spats) and Homer and Marge Simpson (because DH can't absorb what I say a lot of the time, and gets easily distracted, and I do all the cooking/worrying).

1. Cycle 2 CD 23, for TTC #2. No clue if I ovulated this month or not since I've been completely lazy about charting or even OPking. 2. I'm torn about whether I really need to chart/take OPKs so I don't go crazy trying to predict what is actually going on, or if doing that will just make me more nuts. I feel like lately it just seems right that we have another baby but I'm still both anxious for it to happen to terrified of when it does. 3. I'm not sure...maybe roughly Doug & Carrie from King of Queens
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? We'll be starting cycle one after next week!
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I'm sort of freaking out. I have moments of clarity where I feel very ready to TTC. Then the next minute I'm worried about how much money we can save in nine months and how unprepared I might feel if it actually happened on the first cycle.
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? Luke & Lorelai from Gilmore Girls? My DH often looks at me incredulously when I say ridiculous things. Although I'm not quite as charming and adorable as Lorelai.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 12 ish? Clearly I'm not so good at tracking. Our timing was bad this month (i was oot). However, if my cycle stays rock solid consistent (as it has been) I should be ovulating during our anniversary trip. Come on, anniversary baby!
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? Not really
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? Red and kitty from That 70s show.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Lucky Cycle 5
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I got my BFP last Friday. I had faint lines on Wondfos starting last Wednesday, but didn't believe it until I got my positive on a digital.
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why? Oh goodness, I have no idea, lol. I'm so bad at these questions!
ETA: I just noticed NQB's congrats in the maine post. Thank you.

Great news today! I'm so happy! BCPs sound like they did their job!

1. Cycle 1, CD 10
2. We are officially entering my fertile window, and if it doesn't work this cycle I'm going to be very vent-y because DH will be traveling again over the next few months and I'm afraid timing won't be on our side.
3. Probably Pam and Jim from The Office. Above all else, we're best friends. DH's answer was Dharma and Greg (in the early seasons before it got depressing). I am definitely the free spirit hippy (crossed with a type-A stress case, though) who encourages him to have fun.
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!
2. Well, we're officially not in the "got KU on the first try" club. I'm surprised by how SAD I am, even though I always knew it wasn't likely to happen on the first try. My H is happy we'll have another cycle of TTC, haha. To cheer me up, we're making jello shots this weekend, and planning a trip to either Montreal or Niagara (for wine tours) in the next few weeks.
I'm sorry. I know I'll be super bummed if it doesn't happen in my first cycle, too, even though I know it is statistically likely. I love your cheer-up ideas, though! If I get a BFN, I think we'll have to jump on that bandwagon.

NQB -- I just wanted to say I admire your cheerfulness and enthusiasm for everyone given your difficulties. It says a lot about you.
I am coming up on eight weeks and feel awful. I expect this will continue for a while as long as the pregnancy continues. It sucks but worth it in the end.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 10, CD33, FF thinks that I am 7DPO and I hope it doesn't change because sex has not been happening lately
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I've been tired the past week, I haven't had a motivation to go to the gym and I crave carbs/sugar all day. I've also been gaining weight even though I somewhat keep things in check and the sugar craving certainly isn't helping me lose. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I have a feeling that something is. I'm kind of leaning towards PCOS but I don't want to self-diagnose and I ovulate. ::shrug::
3. QOTW - If you and your partner were a television couple of the past or present, who would you be and why?Probably Monica and Chandler from Friends. He's kinda lazy and laid back, I'm neurotic and obsessive. Oh, and apparently infertile too(ok, I'm feeling bitter today)
1. Cycle 10 (ish, I think), CD 2 after d&c yesterday at 8 weeks
2. I feel surprisingly ok. Physically, it's the best I've felt in over a month, which really helps my mood. I should also be fertile during out 2 week vacation in September and we're both excited for the fun.
3. Jill and Tim from home improvement. It's probably more my ideal, than reality, but they're fun.
2. I thought DH would be travelling for work when I O so this month would be out, but we decided yesterday that DS and I are going with him. Yay hotel room TTC sex!
3. Hmm I dunno. Sometimes I think we could be our own reality show, but that's mostly DH's family drama/craziness.
1. After talking to my H, I realized that we started trying in August 2011, not November. I started charting in November and have just been counting FF cycles. Anyway, I am currently CD 27 and no ovulation yet. Awesome.
2. I am not doing well. I had to set up yet another doctor's appointment today and when I read my H's SA results, she mentioned IVF. Holy fuck. We have an appointment to talk about this more next week and clarify what she meant, but I am kind of in shock. And all of a sudden, I am really having a hard time w/ all the BFPs. I am really happy for everyone on this board, but I just feel so lost and unsure of what is happening w/ our TTC. I needs some tips from NQB!
3. I can't think of any TV couple that we are similar to.

I'm sorry jewel.
1. Cycle 18, CD3
2. Yesterday we made the call with our doctor to do IUI this month. I am excited but terrified because if this doesn't work I don't know how much more I can handle. I'm also bummed because we will be out of town for two weeks when I would normally go in for a blood pregnancy test....what am I going to do? Hope that if I test on vacation and get a positive that it's an actual positive? Ugh.
