1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May, Cycle 7, CD1

2. Any testing this week?
Nope.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm thinking about finding a new GYN. I've had mostly good experiences with mine, but I'm a bit miffed at the lack of information/options I've been getting from her lately. Also, she only works two days a week and she doesn't do OB care anymore, so there's always a long wait to get in for an appointment with her and I'm going to end up having to switch to someone else if I ever get pregnant anyway. I'm hesitant to switch now because finding a new doctor is a huge PITA for me with all of my medical issues, but I'm also thinking that it might be better to take the time to make the switch now rather than later. Ugh. I don't know.

4. Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?
Not that I know of.

2. Any testing this week? Yes, I use a fertility monitor and it's given me high readings the last 5 days, so a peak should be any day now. I also use OPK's around this time. I'm annoyed because I usually get 2-3 days of high and then peak. I'm still on schedule as I usually O around day 14-15 but it's weird to get that many high readings. I started B6 and red raspberry leaf tea this cycle so it's prob one of those. I think I'll stop the B6 for a few days. I have a short luteal phase so was trying that to make it longer.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I signed up to bring cookies to DD's V-day party at preschool. At first I was like, cool, I'll just whip up some choc chip cookies and be done. Then I found a pic of sugar cookies decorated like conversation hearts, with royal icing and writing and everything. So I bought all the stuff to make those, even though I've never done royal icing before and my decorating skills usually consist of sprinkles. So we'll see. I made the dough last night, baking tonight, and decorating tomorrow night.

4. Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day? Don't think so, I should hopefully O that day so we will prob have some super romantic scheduled sex lol.

Make the change katespade!

1. I'm actually back on the map! CD1 was Saturday! My period has never come back right away after a d&c, so this is very exciting in my world.
2. Nope.
3. We started talking about adoption, which is something I'm way more excited about than I thought I would be. I'm not giving up on getting pregnant, but it's nice to have an option that I can see really working for us.
4. We had an amazing date on Friday--we had a GC for Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and had a great meal, followed by a free concert of a band we love at a tiny venue, so we actually got to talk to them before and after. Definitely a memorable night.

ttc #1, CD 24

2. Any testing this week?
I am going to test at the end of the week but expecting neg since I don't think I ovulated (at least according to the opk) but my doc said to call him if I reach CD40 and we'll start over

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I got nothing other than I'm down another 2 lbs from last week so hopefully every little bit will help

4. Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?
We're going to attempt making various sushi rolls for dinner

2. No CD 3
3. Midwinter break starts Friday, and D and I are headed to AZ.
4. We went out for dinner at a fancy steakhouse on Saturday and spent a ri-damn-diculous amount of money, but it was the best steak I’ve ever had, so WORTH IT.

Ttc#2 since July, cd4

Beyond that all I'm gonna say is, this is my cycle..I am going to make it happen

Hi, I'm new here. 

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #2, since May. I had an ovarian pregnancy in December, had to have emergency surgery and lost my left ovary and tube. Starting to sort of try again, I am not ready emotionally to start temping or any of that, but did have a good idea of when I think I may have been ovulating. 

2. Any testing this week?
Hopefully next week.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I've really turned a corner with everything this past week, I had been so depressed since my surgery but last week started working out, cooking healthy dinners each night, feeling motivated enough to clean, etc. I'm starting to feel a little more like myself again. 

4. Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?
Not really. DD had a preschool party yesterday which was fun. We'll make a nice dinner here at home. I'm thinking about making homemade peanut butter cups to surprise DH with.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #2, Cycle 3, CD1
Got a faint BFP last week, but had zero symptoms and started spotting today. Soooo back to square one.

2. Any testing this week?
Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm so busy .....so....so...busy..

4. Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day?
We don't really do Valentine's Day. But we are going to an out of town wedding without the kiddo this weekend (overnight!), so that should be nice and romantic.

On a positive note I think I am ovulating and have had ew cm for at least 3 days. I finally comitted to green tea daily this cycle and it seems to have helped.

[pickel]

I'm back after a short break! :-)

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 10, CD 8

2. Any testing this week? No.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? H and I went to a RE this morning and have some renewed hope. Since I'm already on Femara with my OBGYN, the RE wants us to come back in when I get a positive OPK next week and try a IUI. I haven't had EWCM in several months so he thinks that may be the problem and that the IUI will give us a better chance than TI. Working that out with H's work schedule may be a challenge, but we are both really hopeful and happy to have a plan in place.

4. Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day? We are going on a date this weekend to Melting Pot where I will enjoy copious amounts of wine and chocolate!

Yup - very heavy now and clotty (sorry, TMI).  I'm pretty sure it was a chemical pregnancy.  This is reminding me to call my OB - I'm RH negative and I don't know if I need a Rhogam shot for such an early blip.  I assume not seeing as there is no way anything actually attached to me, but I don't want to risk it!
