3. Normally I'd be disappointed that I'm on cycle day 1, but this is my first period post surgery which means we can try again this month. Hopefully my tube will stay open for a bit so we have a shot on our own. I will temp and use OPKs so we can try to have the best timing possible.
4. I only loosely follow blogs. I used to have one of my own that I was pretty proud of that I'm kind of sad that I let go. These days I browse mostly. Can't say I have a favorite.
1. Cycle 18, CD 27 2. Not testing 3. No thoughts 4. I used to love YHL and miss it. I occasionally look at Bower Power. There's a Mormon mommy blog that I find fascinating and have been reading for years.
1. Where are you in your journey?: Cycle 11, CD14.
2. Testing this week?: No.
3. Thoughts? Concerns?: Feeling really hopeful. DH and I BD last night (and omg, it took for-freakin-ever because he was struggling for a while - not that I'd ever complain to him about it.) We struggle to have sex during the week because he works second shift and I work first so one of us has to either get up early or stay up late. I'm usually the one who ends up sleep deprived. So we weren't done until 2 FREAKIN AM and then I had to wake up at 6:30am today. So yes, I'm tired, but proud that we were able to keep to the plan!
I figure if we can keep doing this for the next week or two, I'll be pregnant by Easter. At least, that's what I'm telling myself.
4. Favorite blog (TTC or Non-TTC): I used to love These Four No More (I think the author was on TN and maybe GBCN too), but she no longer blogs. I don't really keep up with blogs. My friend has a personal one and sometimes I look at that. That's about it.

1. Where are you in your journey?: cycle 17 (18? i'm not even sure anymore). CD 14, 1DPO (i think)
2. Testing this week?: i go to the RE friday for bloodwork and a US to confirm ovulation, and get a scrip for progesterone
3. Thoughts? Concerns?: i feel SO much more hopeful this cycle. knowing my tubes are clear, knowing i had 2 good-sized follicles, knowing there's a plan in place other than just "welp, hope this works!" has made my mind so much calmer. now come end of next week when AF is looming i might be a basketcase, but for now i'm enjoying not obsessing.
4. Favorite blog (TTC or Non-TTC): i mostly read food blogs for dinner recipes, How Sweet Eats is a favorite.
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- Ttc since fall '13, cd10
2- no, I probably won't O until late next week but we're not doing any treatment this cycle so whatever.
3- my SIL announced that she got pregnant at the same time that our IUI failed and I'm having a really, really hard time these last couple of weeks. Like, train wreck barely functioning. I have an appointment with a new RE who answers the phone/ calls back on Monday so maybe that'll helpme have a little hope, but if I'm not shaking this next week I'm calling my therapist because holy shit. I feel t e r r i b l e
4- I used to read a ton, almost none anymore. Emily Henderson and House*Tweaking and Selective Potential and Design Sponge and BleuBird and Keiko Lynn were my favorites

1. Where are you in your journey?: TTC since march 2014
2. Testing this week?: OPK- I'm not hopeful though, I haven't O'ed in at least 8 months.. and I have a huge cyst on my right ovary.
3. Thoughts? Concerns?: I feel like this cyst isn't going to go away on it's own. I have no idea how long it's been there but the RE thinks it's left over from my Jan. Femara. they wouldn't tell me over the phone what's next. It was just call CD1 or mid April, whichever comes first.
4. Favorite blog (TTC or Non-TTC): Hmmm, I haven't been reading blogs a lot for pleasure lately, I have been reading real books though I just finished "essentialism the disciplined pursuit of less" which was awesome. I think I'm going for some fiction next. My too read pile is getting large! (yes, I still looove REAL books )

1. Where are you in your journey?: Cycle 8, CD28, 7DPO
2. Testing this week?: Nope
3. Thoughts? Concerns?: My son turned 2 a little over a week ago. I had "planned" on having 2 years between kids, so I'm really struggling with the fact that he is 2 and I'm not even pregnant yet. it was just another milestone to make me sad.

1. Where are you in your journey?: Trying since Nov. 2013; CD 2
2. Testing this week?: Nope! I'll start Clomid on Saturday in preparation for IUI #2
3. Thoughts? Concerns?: I didn't really think I was pg this cycle, but it still sucks. And CD 1 was anniversary of my mc last year - St. Paddy's is ruined for me forever pretty much. And I'm just really struggling with everyone else in my family being pregnant right now, it's like I'm a fucking fertility totem for everyone who knows me, but not for myself. So I've had a rough week so far, it can only get better from here? (knock on wood)
4. Favorite blog (TTC or Non-TTC): I don't read too many blogs regularly, probably my favorite is GOMI -- I can keep up with a lot in one place, and I love the snark.
1. Since April 2013, CD28 2. Nope 3. Vent: We took our two pups (almost 2 years old and 9 weeks old) out for a walk. Dude stops and yells across the street at us, asking if we knew the puppy would grow up to be huge. Then he yells "are these your babies?". H responded "For now." Random dude thought this was hysterical for whatever reason, started hooting and asking me if I heard what H said. Ticked me of. Doesn't help that I we stopped preventing two years ago next week and started actively trying April 13. Things like this is what gets me all bummed again, just when I "forget" that we are TTTC. 4. Don't really follow blogs- only read when one gets posted on GBCN or FB.
