[katespade]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May 2017, Cycle 9, CD12, waiting to see if I ovulate

2. Any testing this week?
OPKs

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
It's officially been over three months since the last time I ovulated, and that realization is kind of destroying me emotionally. I feel like I'm failing at this and I'm broken and it sucks. I already know that if I don't ovulate this cycle, I'm going to be absolutely devastated.

4. Have you and your SO discussed/picked out baby names for potential future babies?
I had a girl name picked out before I even met H. Luckily, he's on board. We've talked about boy names, and have a pretty good idea of what we would go with.

[grover]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since May 2017. Going on a year (Though A took 4 years to the day from starting TTC and giving birth)

2. Any testing this week? No

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? My saline sonohystogram last week showed two uterine polyps. RE is requiring surgery under general before proceeding.

4. Have you and your SO discussed/picked out baby names for potential future babies? I saved my favorites list from last time. He vetoed them all but maybe this time it'll be my favorite (A was his name suggestion, and the middle name was to be my choice, but then his dad passed and we ultimately gave her the feminine form of his dad's name for her middle.)

1. TTC #1 for what feels like forever
2. No testing but I had my baseline bloods and ultrasound this morning and start letrozole for IUI #3 tomorrow. My first monitoring appt is next Monday.
3. I am stressed about money. We owe an absurd amount in taxes and I need to have some hard conversations with my clinic and I just want to bury my head in the sand. I’m going to try to get a handle on things this week, though.
4. We have one boy name and one girl name picked out and I adoreeeee them. The girl name is a family name on my side and the boy’s is a family name on hers. No middle names yet, especially since we haven’t decided if any kids would have my maiden name as a second middle.

We're both big fans of family names. We pretty much know for sure that a first boy and/or a first girl would have family names for both their first and middle. We haven't even considered what we would do if we had more than one of either sex, though. lol.

Hahaha us either. I have a tentative second girl name that I havent shared with DW yet, and I am really picky about boy names so I anticipate that would be an issue. But we only have one acceptable family name for each gender. Of course, we are 99% going to be one and done, so unless we get pregnant with twins we probably won’t need more than one name. Twins is a nightmare scenario for us though, so I try not to think about it too much!

[pnwmama]

1. TTC #4 since Sept. natural m/c in Nov. CD 23

2. Nope. Trying to hold off at least another week.

3. Still so cold here and I’m over it.

4. I know that it would have to be an E name for sure. We have a A, B, and C. We refer to our loss as Baby D.

1. Where are you in your journey?
ttc 1, cycle 3, cdcd35

2. Any testing this week?
Nope - just started progesterone to induce a period.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
We went to an RE last week (why I didn't go sooner I was an idiot), went through everything but then said he wants me to REDO all of my labs. I don't mind the blood work but he wants me to redo the HSG which was just done in December. I'm not happy about that especially because he wants to do everything "in house" and the closest lab is 1.5 hrs away for that (lab at location I'm in isn't completed yet). I asked about going outside and he preferred not. Called insurance and if the RE does it it'll cost me $1600 (not met deductible yet), however if I go elsewhere it'll be around $400 out of pocket.

4. Have you and your SO discussed/picked out baby names for potential future babies?
We haven't talked about it but I have names picked out!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 15(?), CD 16

2. Any testing this week? Nope.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? Stupid military insurance dropped us during their transition so I'm calling everyone and telling them so they don't think I'm not paying my bills.

4. Have you and your SO discussed/picked out baby names for potential future babies?

Not really.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 7, 4DPO

2. Any testing this week? no, will wait for next Tuesday

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I ordered an outdoor playset from Walmart.com. It got delivered last week. the set I ordered is pretty big so I was surprised to see not that many boxes. I even asked the delivery guy if that was it, he said yes. So last night SO starts unpacking it - they sent the wrong set. So now I have to wait for the delivery company to come pick it up, then Walmart will send out the right one (hopefully). It will be another few weeks before all this gets done, then we have to assemble. What a PITA. And one of us will have to take time off work two more times for pickup and delivery, since they give a 4 hour window.

4. Have you and your SO discussed/picked out baby names for potential future babies? No, I have a boy name picked out but haven't told him. I figured there's no point since it's such a longshot. Girl names I have no idea.

[jennistarr1]

1. TTC #2, BFP on 3/17, empty sac discovered 4/9...appointment tomorrow to see about a d/c or just waiting
2. No, and it looks like this won't be a thought for a while
3. all the symptoms/no baby is terribly fucked up
4. I guess what we didn't choose for baby#1, so for a boy Edward, Dominic (I like that less now), or Kevin (I don't like that now either)...a girl might be Danielle, Elisha, Loralei . I would like to find a way to work in my mom's name Linda. One name I liked when my daughter was born was Marilyn...but when I told my mom that she said "that's nasty" and I was like "it was after you"

[RITS]

1. TTC #2 since Jan 2017.

2. No but awaiting DH’s SA results and I just scheduled my HSG.

3. None

4. Nope

[pnwmama]

Sorry you’re going through this jennistarr1

[blt08]

jennistarr1 I'm so sorry.

[knx9211]

1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 1 of TTC #2 - DS conceived after 2 years of trying, 3 IVF cycles, and one loss. Hoping we have an easier road this time. I'm going to update my testing soon so that we can do an FET later this summer if we're not successful on our own.

2. Any testing this week? No. This is my first cycle. I'm still BFing DS and just got my period at 10 months PP. Who knows what my cycle will be like. I was temping just in case I needed to talk to my doctor about anything. CD24 and still no temp rise.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? Nope!

4. Have you and your SO discussed/picked out baby names for potential future babies? The top of our list for boys is Peter. Then we'd have two kids with P names, so I hope that's not weird.
