1. Where are you in your journey?

2. Any testing this week?

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?

[noodleoo]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2, Cycle 2, CD14

2. Any testing this week?
I got a positive OPK yesterday! Hoping our timing was good enough. We were supposed to go one more time last night but we were both too tired/not in the mood.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm working this week and there is barely anyone in my office. I wish I was on vacation like everyone else!

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions?
No plans for NYE. I'm looking forward to a quiet night at home. 2017 has been a really crappy year so I'm happy it is almost over. Hopefully 2018 is better. I should really start exercising, so maybe that will be my NY resolution.

[woowoo]

Hiii!!!

1. Where are you in your journey?  IUI #2 later this week depending

2. Any testing this week?  follicle ultrasound tomorrow morning to determine if we're good to go on Saturday

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?    The complete and utter inability to plan anything further out than 6 months with so much unknown.  See #4.

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions?    Live today. 

[megstoo]

1. Where are you in your journey? Seeing the OB/GYN early January to start meds

2. Any testing this week? Nope, I did my HSG last week though (1 tube blocked)

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? Infertility screws with your mind and I feel like we're forcing sex. Everytime I after I keep going maybe this was the lucky time even though I know it always ends in disappointment.  I feel like it just consumes your mind and everyday thoughts.  

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions? Staying home for New Years but as far as resolutions it's to cut credit card debt and start exercising more, basically just overall be happy.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC # 1, Cycle 4, CD 28, 11dpo

2. Any testing this week? tested yesterday with a FRER - BFN means I’m most likely out (i think like 3% chance? 0.15 pregnancy rate x 20% chance of false negative). The numbers are so depressing. Will test again tomorrow before going out for drinks with H’s fam.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? We are going to CA next week and have a few appts to check out houses! Real feel was 1 degree F today, so timing couldn’t be better

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions?
I work New Year’s Day so we will cook a feast at home and I’ll probably be asleep by 9:30pm. Haven’t thought about resolutions yet, other than just really wanting to be pregnant.

[katespade]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May, Cycle 5, CD26.

2. Any testing this week?
Probably not. I haven’t ovulated yet, but I don’t feel like wasting any more OPKs at this point.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I haven’t been around because we’re in the middle of a DIY kitchen remodel, and it’s taken over our entire lives. It’s going to be totally worth it once it’s done, but right now it’s completely insane.

4. Any plans for New Year's?  Or New Year's Resolutions?
No plans. H works 12 hour shifts on NYE and NYD, so I doubt we’ll even stay awake until midnight this year.

[W.T.Faulkner]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, Cycle 2, CD8

2. Any testing this week? My very first OPKs. lol

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? No vents during my winter break - it’s nice to have so much time off. I feel like it’s the first time I’ve been able to breathe in a bit!

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions?
H works (he’s a musician) until about 2 am at a club down the shore, so we’ll stay with my parents, who have a house down there. I’ll get drunk with my mom and watch Anderson Cooper, per tradition. My biggest NY resolutions are to start journaling again and to get pregnant.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 8, CD 13

2. Any testing this week? I got a positive OPK yesterday and today

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? It is so ridiculously cold here. Like single digits for a high. I absolutely hate it

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions? H and I are going out for dinner with BIL and SIL. I plan on being asleep way before midnight though. I'm old lol

Hi W.T.Faulkner !!!!!

Hey! 

[tacom]

W.T.Faulkner good luck. I’m over four months in and I still get so excited to see a positive OPK!

[melsamoony]

1. TTC #2 after loss cycle 1 since MC 5 dpo

2. Nope.

3. Having a lot of feels since tomorrow was supposed to be my first ob appt and my ultrasound :-(

4. No plans but I may go to my parents. We will see. No resolutions either.

[Jalapeñomel]

1. TTC#2cycle: four bajillion
2. No
3. My holiday break is so short!
4. We are going to eat dinner on my grandmother’s china. Lol

[scsarah]

1. TTC #2, still on first cycle after IUD removal. But I got a positive opk last week, so there's hope? Not sure if we timed it right, but even if not, I'll just be happy to get cycles going!

2. Nope, I'm in TWW. I have a bunch of wondfos, so took tests yesterday (negative) just for kicks. Going to see if I can hold out til next week at this point.

3. I'm a little bitter about all the stuff I want to get done and people I want to see, but can't because DS has strep. Poor kid finished antibiotics for an ear infection yesterday, and had to start new ones for strep too.

4. NYE is one of my least favorite holidays, so no plans. We'll see if we can watch the Rose Parade on the 1st though. Resolutions are to keep up with journaling to stay sane. Maybe also start talking here more.

[MrsE]

1. Either TCC #1, Cycle 0, CD 5 or TCC #1, Cycle 1, CD 5

2. Nope

3. Two very good friends announced pregnancies over Christmas. Hoping to start this cycle, but it may be another couple months - TBD. I’m sticking around and charting / temping in the meantime.

4. Yes! We are doing a self created bar crawl with some friends. We are starting at our house, walking .2 miles to dinner, .4 miles for cocktails, another .2 miles for more cocktails, then .4 miles for champagne toasts and watching the ball drop at one of my bestie’s houses. This is the one that I’m MOH in her wedding this summer so it could potentially be the last crazy NYE for both of us. 😉

[lifetaketwo]

1. TTC#2, cycle 3, 9dpo.

2. Tested this morning and neg. I know it's early, but I got a pos before this early so I'm expecting to be out

3. It is so cold. I live in a rural area with very few indoor options and we're going completely stir crazy.

4. I need to try and figure out my work life balance or at least work on being happy with the balance I have. I've been struggling with this in the last couple months

[mrsbunny]

1. Where are you in your journey? Hit the one year mark without birth control. Hard to remember the amount of cycles due to having a one year old and having my periods get regular this year. I'm on CD 31. My cycles recently have been anywhere between 28-30 days, so I'm not THAT late.

2. Any testing this week? Tested today. Negative.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? My son has been sick for a month now. We've seen doctors four times and been on two different medications and just started a breathing treatment. I want my baby to be healthy again!

4. Any plans for New Year's? Or New Year's Resolutions? Just focusing on getting my son healthy again. It's been a really rough month, so I'm just looking for a reprieve.

[grover]

1. TTC #2 since May
2. No. Due for my period after having the flu during O.
3. Enjoying my winter break. One more week off!
4. During the day tomorrow I'm going to go see Pitch Perfect 3 with some friends. Tomorrow night H and I will watch a movie at home and eat appetizers.

[seeyalater52]

1. TTC #1, cycle 4, cd4 - benched bc we ran out of money for treatment. I am hoping we can start trying again in February or March but that may be overly optimistic. I hope its ok if I stick around until then.

2. No testing

3. I hated 2017 so much.

4. No real plans. Staying at home and eating appetizers and getting drunk off Bailey’s with my wife. No real resolutions other than for the year to suck less than this year did and to start trying to have a baby again.

[noodleoo]

seeyalater52, 2017 was a pretty crappy year for me too and I am so happy to see it end! Here’s hoping 2018 is better for everyone!

[seeyalater52]

End of the year random:

My best friend just texted me after he went to spend the rest of his FSA money at Target and it was a pic of the digital OPK pack and a ton of FRERs he bought me with it. I cried. I’m so lucky to have a friend like him.

1. Where are you in your journey? CD 3, cycle 2 TTCAL. Should be Starting Femara today days 3-7. We conceived after 2 cycles with Femara last time, having only used it for one of those cycles. Hoping we have the same success this time around. 

2. Any testing this week? None. 

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? This is a BFP vent. I assumed my H and I were on the same page about ttc again after we lost our daughter and that page was to start trying again as soon as we got the all clear. I'm on cycle 2 now and we got the clear and now he feels I'm not emotionally ready and we need more time. I feel like crying just thinking about it. I'm 37. I don't have the luxury of waiting. And I emotionally, all things considered, I feel fine and very ready. I also firmly believe it will help in my healing. I'm trying not to fight him on it because I think that'll just further support his feelings that I am not emotionally ready. I'm just praying he changes his mind, soon. 

4. Any plans for New Year's?  Or New Year's Resolutions? N/a
