1. Where are you in your journey? - cycle 25, CD26, 13DPO
2. Are you testing this week? - Tested at 11DPO and 12DPO...but were BFNs. I suspect I'm out this month (unless a miracle happens), so just waiting on CD1
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? - When I tested on 11/12DPO, I was ok with the BFN. Today, I feel like I've been gutted. I hate that this whole process is such a clusterfuck of emotions, and I go from one end of the spectrum to another in the span of a day. I'm just ready to move on to treatments and see where that puts us. .
4. What is one "must have" for your home? - An oven. When we lived overseas, we had a combi-microwave and, while it worked as a convection oven, it just wasn't the same. I love having a real oven now!
1. Cycle 18, CD 12 2. Not testing 3. No thoughts 4. Washer and dryer for sure! And now that I've had a dishwasher for 4 years, I've grown very attached to that as well.
2. Beta should be Friday. I haven't tested yet and should prob make the beta appointment soon.
3. Been having a couple symptoms but I'm on progesterone so I can't read into anything. I'm not charting so no clues or obsessions there either. Waiting to hear from new RE about new insurance benefits so we can start IVF #2 assuming this cycle is a BFN.
4. Washer/dryer, with dishwasher a close second (third?)
1. TTCAL cycle 5, 11dpo 2. I did this morning on a wondfo because I was impatient but BFN. I'll test again on a frer tomorrow or Thursday. 3. If I'm not pg, I just want AF to start so I can enjoy most of our vacation without it. I had a good feeling for a bit as I have had sore/tender breasts for several days and some pressure in my lower abs. I don't usually have any phantom symptoms. But with a BFN this morning I'm not very optimistic anymore. 4. For practical purposes? Outdoor landscaping stuff...tree lopper/trimmer, yard waste barrels, mower, etc. It seems like we bought so much of this stuff when we first bought our house! We have big trees so its pretty necessary.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Nov. 2013; First IUI was yesterday
2. Are you testing this week? Nope, just starting out the tww
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? All our numbers were good for IUI, 2 good eggs, great sperm numbers post-wash, so I'm hopeful. This is my last chance to be pregnant before the anniversary of my mc so that would be nice. Just trying to think positive thoughts and keep stress level low.
4. What is one "must have" for your home? Washer/dryer for sure.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 3, CD 19, either 6 days past ovulation or no ovulation at all.
2. Are you testing this week? Nope 3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? I'm just super confused by my chart this month. My temps were all over the place and I am not even sure I ovulated.
4. What is one "must have" for your home? I rent and will continue to rent for the foreseeable future. Our must haves for our new apartment that we just recently moved into was outdoor space and laundry in unit on or on the same floor. We ended up with a patio and laundry next door to our apartment so it worked out.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 15, but set to start cycle 16 in the morning based on my temp today
2. Are you testing this week? No. The beauty of temping is that the temp drop signals "time for next cycle." I get so excited thinking about a cycle where the temp stays high and I get a BFP
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? I KNOW this cycle was a long shot. With the Urologist apopointment and procedures, we only got one FW session in on 0-1. Trying to keep my chin up. Trying to keep my moods level as I know it can take 4-6 months to see improvement after his Var procedure. I'll try to remain patient and steady. I'm struggling with the thinking, "well what can I do in the meantime??!!!" That's really hard on me.
4. What is one "must have" for your home? Washer and Dryer. I could be flexible if needed without some of the stuff....although, I don't want that theory tested! ha!
2. Normally I'd being doing OPKs right now, but I'm not cleared for sex yet post surgery.
3. Well, this cycle is a lost cause, but looking forward to next cycle. Dr. Said I definitely have a higher chance of natural pregnancy now that my tube is open, but there's no telling how long it will stay open. She wants to start talking IVF when I next see her so we'll probably have a few cycles to try on my own. I want to be optimistic, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high either.
4. I mean a washer/dryer yes. But also a dishwasher for sure.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 after 3 losses.
2. Are you testing this week? I guess I will say here that I got a BFP late last week. I've lost 3 pregnancies relatively early since last summer though so I'm not overly excited yet. I did start progesterone the night I found out and I've been taking extra folic acid and a baby aspirin everyday since january. I went in for my first beta this morning and will hopefully know that number later.
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? My vent is that I keep takin an FRER every morning and the line is still faint and not getting any darker. I wouldn't say it's getting lighter and I did get a positive on a digital yesterday. But I've gotten positives on digitals before and then lost them quickly after. I'm hoping my number today is decent.
4. What is one "must have" for your home? We just bought a house in December and I was really happy it had an attached 2 car garage! No more cleaning snow off my car in the early mornings!
are you in your journey? TTCA3L since Oct '12, CD11
2. Are you testing this week? I'll start OPKs tomorrow
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? Not at the moment
4. What is one "must have" for your home? Washer and dryer. When we lived in an apartment we didn't have one so I had to carry laundry down 3 flights of stairs. Not fun at all

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 2012, Cycle 23 TTCAL, CD10
2. Are you testing this week? Start OPKs at the end of the week
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? We're in a holding pattern again this cycle since my HSG isn't until March 17 and my next hysteroscopy is on the 20th. This is the 3rd cycle we haven't been able to try and it sucks! I've forgotten what it's like to have hope, haha. I am anxious for my appt on the 20th because then we'll know whether we can move forward with the RE or if I have to have another hysteroscopy.
4. What is one "must have" for your home? AC! Our apartment doesn't have central heating/cooling, just 2 wall units, and we are nervous about that come summer. We are both warm people.
ETA: Nope, cycle 24 TTCAL. I think I'm just going to start saying cycle "too many"
1. CD12, TTCAL#4 2. Just OPKs. 3. I'm okay for now. I just got back from a silent retreat, and it was a wonderful and emotional experience. We're off to Sicily in 2 weeks and I can't wait! It'll be at the end of my cycle, so either I'll miss my period and be pregnant, or have my period but who cares because I'll be enjoying all the amazing food. I am not bringing any tests which will be a first for me. I normally pee on all the things. 4. Right now I'd love a dishwasher, or a washer/dryer. Our flat doesn't have either.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since fall '13, 9 DPIUI #1
2. Are you testing this week? AHHH I WANT TO PEE ON ALL THE THINGSSSSS! But honestly I'm afraid to. What if it didn't work??? I feel no different (I know that means nothing but still...) I'm afraid. I would like to perpetually remain in this hopeful PUPO state, except no actual baby until it's proven sooooo..... Total mindfuck, like usual. (I might test Saturday. Or maybe Friday. AF's not due until Monday so maybe Sunday/Monday? Ugh.)
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? Oh. I can't follow directions and word-barfed above. Oops
4. What is one "must have" for your home? I've lived in apartments and condos and SFH, with and without laundry, dishwashers, AC, multiple stories etc.
The ONE thing I can no longer live without is a decent sized yard that offers privacy. I'm kind of antisocial and I don't want to see ANYone when I'm trying to putter around in my own yard minding my own business. Get off my lawn!!
Thanks everyone. Unfortunately , my doc just called and my beta is not great. It's only a 7. He wants me to get it checked again Thursday in case my dates are wrong and I'm earlier than I thought, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
This is my most likely my fourth early loss in a row.I think I might see about getting my thyroid checked. All my other tests came back normal after the last loss, so I guess I'm not sure at this point.

I'm so sorry rt2008. Hopefully it's just really early and this can still be good news. But if it isn't, along with your thyroid I would also consider monitoring to check your lining if you haven't already done that.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC since Nov 2013, cycle #3 AL, CD 29, possibly anywhere between 2-5 dpo
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? Might have O'd on my own this month, would be first unmedicated O in over a year. Not sure though since my temps have been kind of low. FF says I'm 5 dpo but I really really doubt that, maybe 3 or 4 dpo though...
4. What is one "must have" for your home? Uhm, must have... Not sure. As long as there is some kind of bathroom, and kitchen I'm ok. I'd love a bigger kitchen though and a washer/dryer and dishwasher would be nice but it's not a must have. We will probably install all of them, starting with dishwasher, in our new apartment. The new place also has a 170 square feet balcony facing west - will be very nice but was not a must have.

1. Ttc since June '13 ttcal cycle 5 8 dpo 2. Yes I can't promise it won't start tomorrow 3. Cd 21 bw came back normal yay. 4. Too many things I would say private not and no hoa was important
1. Where are you in your journey? Started trying Jan 14. CD28, 8(ish) DPO per OPK
2. Are you testing this week? Maybe?
3. Thoughts? Vents? In need of hair-pats? I saw my doc today and had blood work done to check progesterone levels due to my spotting & periods lasting ~2 weeks. AF is due sometime at the end of the week if we weren't successful and based on my doctor thinking low progesterone is causing the bleeding, I am not hopeful.
4. What is one "must have" for your home? Washer/Dryer
ETA- rt2008 sorry for the not great beta. hoping for good news on your next draw! Fingers crossed and good vibes to anyone testing this week!
