[katespade]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May, Cycle 6, CD17, 3DPO.

2. Any testing this week?
Nope.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Anyone have any tricks or tips for taking difficult to swallow meds? I choke on my progesterone pill every single day, and it drives me crazy. I rarely have issues with my morning meds, so I don't think I'm causing it to happen. It's really starting to stress me out, because it's pretty painful and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to get it unstuck one of these days.

4. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
I'm a total sucker for Red Vines.

[megstoo]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC 1, Cycle 1 (medicated), CD 9

2. Any testing this week?
OPK but that's it

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Since eating more clean I'm down 8 lbs in 2 months. I know it's not much but I haven't added any exercise so it's a start.

4. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
soft pretzel bites with cheddar cheese sauce - sadly I never order them

The prenatal vitamin and the metformin I have is like a damn horse pill and the only thing that's worked for me is orange juice that has a little pulp.  I tried everything else but once I used OJ every time I haven't had any issues since.

Same, just a prenatal though. OJ with pulp is part of my daily routine now.SaveSave

megstoo, @opal - How interesting! I hadn't considered changing the drink I take it with. I don't usually drink OJ, but I'm willing to give it a try to see if it helps!

[Deleted]

I guess I should post so it doesn't look like I stalk you, katespade 😉

1. Where are you in your journey?
NTNP/WTDS due to being PP.

2. Any testing this week?
Tested yesterday due to paranoia, BFN. Hurray PMS!

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I hate PMS. I'm moody, hungry, and in need of some retail therapy.

4. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
DH & I have a tradition: popcorn, iced tea (no ice ironically), and M&Ms or Skittles. We haven't been to the theatres in sooo long. 😞

ETA: Grammar

I don't drink much of it but for me has to have pulp in order to get the pills down.

[TBD]

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

2. Any testing this week? Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? We are thinking about moving, and a job in my field popped up in the new location. The job description sounds completely uninteresting, and it's making me have second thoughts about moving.

4. What is your favorite movie theater snack? Popcorn, no butter.

[Jalapeñomel]

Try applesauce katespade

[melsamoony]

1. Ttc # 2 cycle 2 after loss 10 dpo

2. If my period doesnt show on Wednesday I will test but I don't feel optimistic.

3. I was really hoping I would get pregnant quickly after my miscarriage because I thought it would lessen the pain and make things easier. I just want to be done with this process and I am not.

4. We get popcorn and bunch-a-crunch

[noodleoo]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 3, CD18 - 5DPO

2. Any testing this week?
Nope! I'm holding off until 13DPO this time. I'm not optimistic but crossing fingers anyway. Mostly trying not to think about it and not succeeding.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm in a wedding this summer and we have to order dresses in the next 2-3 weeks. Bride wants us to all order at the same time so we get the same dye lot. I'm trying to stall long enough to see if I'm pg this cycle and I"m really hoping that I am so I will know to order a few sizes up. If I don't and get pg later, there won't be enough time to order a second dress. So if this cycle doesn't work I have no idea what to do about it. Also, we can't try the dresses on (ordering online) and I can't decide which style I want because I have no idea how they will look on me and I'm obsessing over it. No matter what I'm pretty sure I'm going to look terrible at this wedding.

4. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
Sour peaches. H got me addicted to them, but we tend to only get them for movies. Man, I kind of miss seeing movies in the theater!

[kermit]

1. Where are you in your journey? I guess I should stop lurking and actually post here, even though our odds aren't great. TTC #2, Cycle 3, CD25, 10DPO

2. Any testing this week? I will test tomorrow but have been having a bit of spotting even on progesterone support so not hopeful. Will stop progesterone Thursday if it's still negative.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? We want to plan a vacation but will have to take DD since we don't have anyone who will keep her for a few days. SO and DD both need to get passports so we can go somewhere warm and beachy but I've been bugging him to get one for years and it hasn't happened yet, so doubtful. I'm just a ray of sunshine today lol.

4. What is your favorite movie theater snack? Probably Goobers, though I'm cheap and don't buy snacks.

Hawaii is warm and beachy and doesn't require a passport.

True - I was thinking an AI with a kid's club that we could stash her in though. Plus I have family in Hawaii (not close) so I'd feel obligated to visit and I don't want to have to plan around that kind of thing. I'll have to look at airfare though, might be worth it.

noodleoo: What style are the dresses? ...If you care to share. Certain ones are easier to alter or fit a pregnant body in.

Oh yeah?  Awesome, I have the list at home, I'll post it later for advice!  They are all A-line so I think that will help.  Part of it is that since we can't try them on, I'm having a hard time deciding which one to order in general.  The model photos don't help since they are all stick skinny and perfect.

1. Still not trying, but it's CD1 so this is probably the last cycle before officially TTC! Getting my IUD pulled in about 3 weeks

2. No

3. I was concerned that I was starting my period early this month and was worried that that would throw off next month and make me have to reschedule my OB/GYN appointment, but I was wrong so everything is fine. Yay! I'm already annoyed that I had to wait 6 weeks from the time I called for the appointment so if I'd had to push it back farther I would have been really upset.  

4. I haven't been to the movies in so long that I don't remember. I love popcorn, and sometimes the theater in the town where we used to live had fresh cookies from the bakery across the street, so that was awesome and we'd usually get those. 

I should really go to a movie! Now I want popcorn
