1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? - cycle 18, CD27, 13 DPO
2. Are you testing this week? - been testing every day since 10 DPO. BFN
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? - this is the longest cycle I've had since December 2013, and my longest LP. Still no positive though...sadness!!!
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? - hopefully it'll be our master bathroom once the remodel is complete, but for now it's our living room. It's very cozy!
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? cycle 11, cd28, 12dpo
2. Are you testing this week? BFN 10 dpo and 11 dpo. AF is due today but nothing so far. But I O'd late and I have AF cramps, so not getting my hopes up.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Had my progesterone drawn last week. Results came back low - 8.3. My doctor wants me to start on Clomid this next cycle. Also trying to figure out how to explain to work that I'll need to be leaving early for doctor's appointments on short notice. I work 12 hour shifts and of course I need to go in on days I'm working.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? I love our kitchen. We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it. I'm also loving how cozy our bedroom is now that we painted it a dark color.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 10, CD26, 11dpo
2. Are you testing this week? I promised myself I wouldn't do this, but I broke down and tested today. BFN.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Chart in siggy. It's hard not to get my hopes up. It's even harder not to recognize similar patterns from previous cycles. I've been a crying mess this week. My doc told me in January that she wanted to see me after this cycle...so maybe I'll have a direction soon.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Our back covered porch is divine. I get such happiness from sitting out there. I love our new house.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 8 CD 24
2. Are you testing this week? Nope. I think I O'd really late or not at all
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I started a new diet this week. Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and a reasonable dinner. I'm going to focus on getting healthier until my annual in December.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? I love our bedroom. We got new furniture when we got married, and it's big and cheery and calming.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTC since Feb. Cycle 2 TTCAL. CD14
2. Are you testing this week? Just OPKs
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Nothing this week.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Our open concept kitchen/living room/ dining room. It is where we spend most of our awake time at home.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 9, CD 20, O was today;) 2. Are you testing this week? Nope, just started the 2WW. 3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I feel good about our timing. O-1, O-2, and O-4. FX! 4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Hmm. Probably our bedroom. It's the only room I consider "done", and it has huge high ceilings with amazing beams and windows that literally go to the floor.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTC since Nov 2013, Clomd cycle #3, CD 18 - ovulating as we speak (well, more or less. Had ewcm and positive opks yesterday and day before. Lots of pain. Opk negative today but temp still low)
2. Are you testing this week? Nope. With this mornings negative opk I am done for now (unless my temps stay down)
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Staying with the in-laws. We managed to BD day before yesterday and day before that but last night DH was too conscious about the sounds the bed made and the fact his parents were in the next room so he couldn't finish. We'll try again tonight and hope one of the earlier times were it.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? I like our bedroom. It's the only room we have painted in our choice of colour. (We're renting)
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 6, CD 14.
2. Are you testing this week? OPKs.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? The fertility tea my naturopathic doctor has me drinking seems to be working. I've got more CM and I'm showing very good signs of O-ing very soon rather than CD 19-21 like I have been since my CP.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? The living room couch on a sunny day. We have a decent view and when the sun comes it it's so cozy.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Trying since Oct '12 TTCA2L, CD7
2. Are you testing this week? I'll be starting OPKs Saturday
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I finished my first round of Clomid today. Excited to see if it will work. I go for blood work up on CD 21.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? My bed. I love lounging around reading or watching tv. It's also where I cuddle DD and the dog.

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 3; 12DPO; CD 27
2. Are you testing this week? Yes. This morning it was negative. Probably test again Friday if it's applicable.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? My body is really confusing me right now. I've had mild cramps and spotting for the past 4 days which is completely abnormal for me. CD 1 should be Saturday and we are out of town for a long weekend. I was really hoping I'd know one way or the other before we leave, but looks like I'm going to have to get over that!
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Right now, my front porch. We ripped out some horrible bushes planted by the previous owners this weekend and it has transformed the front of our house .

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTCAL Cycle 6, 7 DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Likely not until (if) I'm late. I've run out of internet cheapies so I have to be stingy with testing.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Nothing this week - just waiting.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Probably our living room, when it is clean. It's probably the most "finished" with decor and everything.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? I've lost count, but TTC #2 since Sept 2013. CD8
2. Are you testing this week? OPK's starting Friday
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I *still* have my period and it's CD8! It's super light, but why?!?!?! It usually only lasts 4-5 days for me. I'm guessing Clomid (last cycle) changed things for me?
Also, we're moving on to IVF next cycle. I'm both excited and terrified!!! And still hoping for a BFP this month so we don't have to go that route!
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? My living room... that's where we hang out 95% of the time. Probably because our main DVR is there ;-)

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? cycle 10, 12DPO.
2. Are you testing this week? if AF hasn't shown up by friday, i will. and i'm terrified i've gotten my hopes up for nothing. usually CD1 is today, and my temp was higher today instead.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? i'm really trying NOT to think about it at all. which is basically impossible.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? we spend most of our time in the living room, but i love our firepit the most! now if it would hurry up and cool off more so we could fire that baby up!

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Trying over a year lost count of the #, CD 15
2. Are you testing this week? OPK was peak yesterday woo hoo and we had decent timing this month
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Im scheduled to see an endocrinologist end of month to discuss my high prolactin bloodwork and next steps re fertility
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment?
Our family room is glorious we have the most comfortable, sink into it when you sit couch and my mom decorated it super cute. I love sitting there and relaxing w the hubs and pooch.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 8, CD20, O was possibly yesterday or today
2. Are you testing this week? OPK was positive monday & tuesday and mayyybe today, it was hard to tell if the line was lighter. I think our timing was good!
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? my last OB/GYN appt, my doctor suggested laproscopic surgery to rule out endo. I declined because I was just barely recovered from major knee surgery and didn't want to have anesthetic again. Now I am second guessing my decision and wonder if that would have helped prep us for ttc better. I am temping now and using OPK's to confirm O, so I will go over those results with her at my next appointment in November. I did have an internal and external ultrasound which were both normal, so I am hopeful it's not endo.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Our basement. We have 115" screen for movies and are finishing the bar area. It's such a fun room!
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTC #2 since September 2013. CD24, 10DP IUI#4
2. Are you testing this week? Yes, probably Friday at 12DPO.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I did one session of acupuncture this month, the day of my trigger shot, and my temps after O have been amazing. IDK if it's that or maybe I'm actually pregnant... trying to not get my hopes up. Here's my chart: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/ginkgoleaf
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Probably our bedroom. I adore our king-sized bed and padded headboard - so comfy to watch TV in bed and it's just a cozy space. I also like our leather recliner in the family room - sitting there right now!
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 5 TTCAL (I think), about 10dpo. I didn't temp this month.
2. Are you testing this week? Yes, but BFN this morning.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I am at fuck this shit o'clock with TTC. Bad timing the past two months due to travel, and lots of stress at work are pissing me off.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? I love our bedroom. We have a cozy new hybrid mattress in Cal King and this gorgeous bed with a stuffed headboard in gray.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 6, CD 21, 2 DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Nope. Into the 2 week wait.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Poor DH had it rough this cycle. I usually O between CD 14 or 15 (Very consistent) but I got an epic cold last week and my O was delayed. As a result, we were in BD mode from CD 11 to CD 20. I was miserable and sick for the first few days and like 'no kissing' since I didn't want to infect him. We made it through and I actually think that we have a really good chance this cycle. I had true EWCM for the first time since we started and I was super hormonal on my O day. I finally feel as though the BCP has cleared my system. Fingers crossed.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? We renovated our kitchen last winter and it is mostly finished. I love my 33" stainless steel apron sink and touch-on touch off faucet more than words can describe. I can't count how many people comment on how easy it will be to bathe a kid in there. I just need the kid! Runner up is the sunken above ground pool with a circular deck in the backyard. It's a 15' kids pool but it's pretty awesome mid-summer. We call it the sit and drink pool.
I know! My chart is always super ugly, so I am so surprised to see it look like that. Is my thermometer broken?! I hope not!
i have TOTALLY had the "have i broken my thermometer??" thought when i get 2 days in a row with the same temp, or with a string of ups and downs in the same range!
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 13, CD 3
2. Are you testing this week? nope
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? First time getting my period since TTC that I wasn't sad--I was expecting it and at this point I am just excited to go see my RE and come up with a plan. 17 days more to wait.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? I love our new house. Our kitchen is beautiful, our living room is wonderful. I hate how our bedroom is decorated right now, but I seem to spend a lot of time in there reading and being alone lately.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 5 TTCAL CD16
2. Are you testing this week? Nope! Already ovulated.now I'm the 2WW
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I am glad I temped and used OPKs this month. I did start ovulating earlier after the m/c. And I saw a positive opk and good temp spike, so I finally believe I am actually ovulating.
4. What is your favorite space in your house/apartment? Wherever the dogs are
1. Cycle 18 CD13 2. OPKs only 3. I am having mid-cycle spotting for the first time in the last 18 months..but I haven't ovulated yet (typically don't until CD 16-18. 4. My couch...pup and I cuddle there.
