1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May 2017, Cycle 8, CD17, 1DPO

2. Any testing this week?
Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
+OPK on Saturday, EWCM on Sunday. I was planning to temp this morning to confirm O, but I slept through two alarms and woke up two hours late. I'm going to go ahead and assume that I did and start the progesterone tonight. I wasn't expecting to O this cycle, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

4. What was the last movie you watched? (at home or in the theater)
We watched The Shape of Water last night.

TTC#2 Since July, BFP on 3/17/18 (still hanging here with my history of miscarriages)
I'm currently stalking the patient portal of my endocrinologist who drew thyroid levels as well as HCG...first appointment is 4/9
My daughter's bday will be at a movie theater, seeing Sherlock Gnomes on 4/7

1. Where are you in your journey?TTC #2 cycle 5?, 11DPO

2. Any testing this week? BFN today. I'll test again in the morning just to make sure but not taking the progesterone anymore. At least I know the higher dosage holds off the spotting.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? My birthday was yesterday, just went to yoga and did some shopping by myself. Found some good deals at Kohls and then came home and placed a big online order - I need new shorts. most of the ones I have are either too big or the hems wrinkle really badly and I do not iron! Getting more used to the likely reality that we'll be OAD - at 43 my chances are very slim. But I feel like I'm doing all I can do short of medications or other interventions that we aren't going to do. I've been doing yoga every day and getting into that - thinking about doing teacher training next year. It would be tough since training is on weekends and SO always works on Saturdays, but maybe we could work something out. I feel like I need to get better at some more advanced poses though. I'm working on a certain few every day and getting better.

4. What was the last movie you watched? (at home or in the theater) I saw Black Panther a few weeks ago, it was awesome!

1. Where are you in your journey?
ttc#1, cycle 2, CD13

2. Any testing this week?
nope - just finished round 2 of clomid last week

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm so discouraged. I left yet another message for my dr (calling every other day) and still have yet to hear back - this has been going on since March 1. So 26 days of no call back. I'm moving onto an RE and tempted to find a new ob as well.

4. What was the last movie you watched? (at home or in the theater)
Don't laugh - DH and I watched all the Leprechaun movies last week, we wanted something light and old school. In theaters though was Black Panther which we enjoyed

You should be more than tempted at this point. Time to move on, because that is beyond unacceptable. Are you leaving messages on a machine or speaking to a receptionist?

I've left messages and the nurse usually calls me back the next day (or sometimes within a few hours). 

I've just requested a copy of all of my medical records and will be going to an RE.  I get the same ol message from the nurse that she'll relay my message.  Last week the excuse was the snow closed the office for a day (which was true).  The week before the excuse was he's on vacation, the week before that was he's very busy.  

I see the writing on the wall very VERY clearly now.  I'm just scared to move on and DH doesn't give an opinion which pisses me off even more.  I think today is one of the more emotionally reck days I'm having.  I'm just tired of my body constantly letting me down and a medical professional not even care enough to call someone back and the cost of an RE since insurance covers ZERO (appts/labs/procedures aren't covered) and for people to constantly say give it time it'll happen, stop stressing it'll happen etc etc etc.  IF is such a mind f*%&Y(# that unless someone experiences it they don't understand.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#1, waiting in insurance limbo for what feels like forever until we know whether our next cycle will be covered.

2. Any testing this week? Nope. I'm annoyed because I'm right around ovulation and we can't do anything this cycle. It pisses me off.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I am very tired today. I'm wondering whether I should go back off caffeine and my experiment with it this morning is not making me very enthusiastic about that prospect!

4. What was the last movie you watched? (at home or in the theater) A Wrinkle in Time

seeyalater52 - I'm sorry about your frustration and insurance limbo, but I'm glad to see you posting here again! You've been missed.

1. Where are you in your journey?
I know I said I was taking a break but DH has been making the "you could be pregnant" jokes so I am constantly thinking about it!
NTNP, BFing 1 y.o. so still no PP period.

2. Any testing this week?
I am allowed to test after Sunday. Since I don't have my cycle back yet, I go by potential conception date rather than ovulation.  I thought that might be a weird confession, but then I realized people probably just track that they can test at 4 weeks. I use an EDD calculator to give me a date... which I could just as easily count weeks in my fertility app. 

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
C had her first birthday yesterday! Humorously, DH dreamt the night before (so the night last year that I was in labour) about me being 40w pregnant and us having sex to start labour. I think he was thinking future baby but to me it seems more like a flashback. 

4. What was the last movie you watched? (at home or in the theater)
I finished watching What to Expect When You're Expecting yesterday. I don't normally like these parallel storyline movies, but this one gets me every time. Except when I was pregnant, the miscarriage scene was too much for me.
