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 journey? TTC since January 2015, 1 loss. CD 20 4 or 5 dpo
2. Testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I'm symptom spotting already. I'm super exhausted today so secretly hoping it is pregnancy related even though I know that thought process is crazy.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? Hotel! I love a beautiful hotel and get excited for them more than the actual vacation. Plus, I'm finding I am getting a little antisocial as I get older. I like my alone time!
2. Tested this morning at 9dp5dt and BFN. Beta is Thursday. I might test again Wednesday, but not expecting a different result.
3. I'm feeling really defeated. We transferred a perfect embryo. Everything was where it needed to be. And still nothing. I have never gotten a positive pregnancy test and wonder if I ever will, even with the help of science. And I am so angry at my body for not even being able to fucking implant an embryo. FFS, the hard part was already done.
1. Where are you in your journey? - Cycle 10, CD 27, 9 DPO
2. Testing this week? - trying to hold out until Wednesday. Usually when I try to hold out I just get my period, which is another way to show I'm not pregnant, I guess.
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? - I've been thinking about seeing an RE for a few months just to see if everything's cool, since I stopped BC in September and we've been trying to time it right since December. Also, my husband is 41 and we're both overweight. I just have to get off my butt and make a call.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? - Usually hotel, but it would depend on how much I would save and if they friend has a guest room. And how many bathrooms.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC# 1 since January 2014
2. Testing this week? no, but i do get to go to the RE next monday for a pregnancy blood draw before starting my IVF cycle. and it's supposed to be CD2, so that'll be an unnecessary arm poke.
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? writing a check for $12,500 SUCKS. big time. but i'm trying to be hopeful this will work, or at least maybe we'll get lots of embryos if this cycle doesn't work so we have a shot at a FET.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? in a hotel! bigger beds, more privacy, FREE BREAKFAST. it's just much easier to have my own space. now i do like staying at the same place as friends, like travelling OOT for a wedding and having them down the hall. balcony drinking with friends is great.
1. Where are you in your journey? - TTC #1 since Feb 2014. 2nd clomid cycle, CD21 4DPO, also taking progesterone
2. Testing this week? - No
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? - Feeling kind of ehhh about this whole process still. Had a good ultrasound last week showing a mature follicle which matched up with + OPK and a temp rise, confirmed O with temping. Still not excited even though our timing was good. I just don't want to be let down again.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? - Friends. We won't spring for more pricey hotels because we don't plan to spend a lot of time in the hotel, it's just for sleeping for us. I also don't like germs lol

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan 2012, 2 losses
2. Testing this week? No, still waiting on my first post-mc period.
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I'm definitely in that camp right now of wanting it to happen right away by any means necessary and simultaneously not giving a damn. We haven't decided yet if we want to move forward with IVF soon or wait, and at this point I don't think we'll make a decision until we see how my job interviews play out (I had 4 1st round interviews last week)
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? Friends because I'm poor

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 3 CD21 3dpo
2. Testing this week? Nope In the wait and see 2ww! Yay...
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I'm pretty sure this cycle will be a bust. Despite my body delaying o a few days when I was sick DH had a man cold during fw. We had sex once anyways, so if I get a cold along with not pregnant I'm going to be pissed
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? Depends. If I'm going to a location with friends it's usually to spend time with them so I'd rather crash if they have a guest room. Hanging out late at night is hard with the little one and a hotel, it's kinda frowned upon to leave her in her room by herself!

1. TTC#1 since August 2014 CD25 9dpo? Something like that.
2. Not this week. Early next week only if AF doesn't show her ugly face.
3. I'm going to be on vacation with my family next week at the beach. So either I have AF and that sucks or I POS somehow while sharing two bathrooms with 12 or so people. Yeah........ it'll be interesting.
4. Depends on how well I know said friend and what the accommodations are. I like beds and my own space. As I've gotten older I've liked sleeping on other people's couches less.
2. I started testing on Sunday because I'm ridiculous. We're at the lake house for the week and I'm Drinking All The Things until I get two lines.
3. I don't think I'm pregnant. I had strong ovulation pain and we had good timing, but I have no symptoms and no + tests and I'm being ridiculous and yeah. More wine.
4. HOTEL! Better year, a hotel room with two double beds so H and I can sleep separately. Because I love my own bed!
2. Not until 14DPO at minimum which will be next week.
3. Not much going on here just waiting to reach 14DPO. We are going camping Friday-Monday so hopefully that will help with the 2ww crazies. 14DPO is the Tuesday after we get back.
4. With friends, we don't need tons of privacy and if we can stay with friends we usually are able to afford extra time on the trip because we save the hotel costs.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 12, CD 30, 4 DPO
2. Testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? I'm doing ok. Next week I will probably be losing my mind for a few days when it's time to test.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? It depends on if we are vacation and have friends in the area we might want to meet up with for dinner one night - then definitely hotel. But if we are traveling somewhere specifically to spend the weekend with friends, then at their house could be good.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTCing since Oct '12, CD3, 3 losses, unmedicated cycles break
2. Testing this week? Nope
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? We decided to take a break from medications for a couple of cycles. I had been taking Clomid and it has been working but I was on my 4th cycle and felt like I needed a break from it.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? Hotel! I like my own space.
1. TTC since Nov. 13, TTCAL cycle 10, 10 dpo 2. Maybe. Might just wait on AF rather than waste a test. 3. CD 3 and 21 blood work came back normal. Scheduling an HSG next. Really hoping to find some answers or something we can "fix" rather than doing the same thing over and over with no results. The frustration of this makes me want to scream and cry. So over it. 4. Hotel...I like the privacy and not feeling like I'm messing up someone's stuff or being in the way.
3. SIL is 6 weeks along - we were both trying to get preggers without realizing it, and she succeeded. I don't know how long she was trying, and I realize that 2 months is NOTHING, but I am having a hard time with it. Like she beat me to it, or that our (eventual, hopefully) pregnancy will somehow be less special, esp if they happen at the same time. Rationally, I realize I'm being ridiculous; but emotionally, I've been better. Which prob isn't helping the whole TTC situation...Any tips, ladies?

it gets better with time. you'll stop being bitter about it ALL the time, lol. at least that's what happened with me (granted, i'm facing IVF and my little sister is due next month, so not exactly the same).
2. probably not until next week, though I'm starting to get anxious about it (see below)
3. I had some spotting last night at cd#14 and thought my period was coming in all wonky and early but it cleared up so now I'm wondering if it was implantation bleeding as I did ovulate early this cycle.
4. Depends on the friends but in general I prefer a hotel over staying at someone's house.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since Jan '14. One loss. Cycle 15, CD 4.
2. Testing this week? Nope. AF is just ending.
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? Confirmed my appointment for my sonohysterogram next week. DH and I decided that even if we have to pay $1000 out of pocket if we get bad news, we'd rather just know at this point. I'm kinda nervous about the procedure itself, but I'm trying not to think too much about it.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? I'm one of those weird people who enjoys staying in hotels. DH thinks hotels are the most disgusting thing on the planet. I guess part of it is that my dad worked in hotels, fixing things for nearly my whole life so I spent a lot of time in them as a kid.
1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since April 2015
2. Testing this week? I got a BFP last week and have been taking tests every few days.
3. Thoughts, feelings, hair pats needed? So happy, but also really anxious. It's hard keeping it to ourselves. I wish I didn't have to wait so long to see the doctor. I wasn't expecting to feel this nervous about it.
4. GTKY: Would you rather crash with friends, or in a hotel? Hotel for sure. Brought to you by someone recently who spent three nights on an air mattress in a friend's living room.
