1. TTC #1, IUI #3 with letrozole and trigger
2. CD11 today and went for my first post-meds monitoring and my follicles are still tiny. I know its a fertility FWP but it pisses me off that the iincreased letrozole dosage didn’t do anything to speed this process up. Looks like I’ll be going again on Friday unless my blood work comes back wonky.
3. I get to see my sister later this week! I love her. I give no fucks about work right now so maybe I’ll work from home on Friday so it’s easier to do my appointment.
4. It’s finally spring in New England! I am SO enjoying getting some warmer temps and it’s really helping my mood!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, cycle 7, 10DPO

2. Any testing this week? I tested yesterday which I know was super early, BFN. I'll test again tomorrow but not feeling hopeful. I'm a little crampy like I get a few days before AF starts. We had such good timing too. Sigh.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? We went to a party hosted by our realtor Friday night. I was exhausted because I'm an introvert and there were sooooo many people there, it was just too much for me. But SO got some gossip that she apparently wants to divorce her husband but it would cost her half a million a year in alimony. I knew she does well but damn. She does spend lots of money to make money though.

4. How is the weather where you live? Getting better, still a bit chilly but I don't really mind because I just got a Barefoot Dreams cardigan so I'm getting some wear out of it!

1. Where are you in your journey?
ttc 1, cycle 4, cd1

2. Any testing this week?
Nope, went for blood work today, ultrasound tomorrow (ugh on CD2), and have to redo my HSG probably end of the week

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
The department store that I met DH at is closing it's doors forever. To think I met him 20 years ago.

4. How is the weather where you live?
Chilly in the mornings but getting to around 60's by afternoon.

[katespade]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May 2017, Cycle 9, CD19, 3DPO (Hallelujah!)

2. Any testing this week?
Nope. I'm on day 2/10 of progesterone, which lengthens my luteal phase, so I won't bother testing until at least 18DPO.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
H and I took the week off to work on phase two of our DIY remodel, so I won't be around to post very much. We're hoping to get both the dining room and the living room done this week, and I'm trying not to stress too much about dealing with paint fumes during the TWW.

4. How is the weather where you live?
The sunshine finally showed up yesterday! The forecast is currently predicting sunshine the first next couple of days, and highs of 75-80 until Friday (when the rain comes back, and stays until July. lol)

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 15(?), CD24, 10ish DPO.

4. How is the weather where you live?

Finally starting to not be shitty. (PA)

3. Today at work was insaaaaaaane I am exhausted but dont want to go to sleep and go back to work lol.

4. Finally having glimpses of spring which is so welcome. Still not quite as warm as usual but warm enough to enjoy being outside.

[pnwmama]

Glad you get to see your sister seeyalater52!

Sorry for the BFN blt08.

1. TTC #4 since Sept. natural m/c in Nov. CD 30

2. *TW BFP mentioned*
Took a internet cheapie yesterday and got light BFP and confirmed it today with a FRER. I’m feeling so many emotions, but mostly just hoping this baby sticks.
*TW End*

3. *TW children mentioned* My mom and I are taking a road trip with my kids to Seattle and Tulip Town. It will be about a 5 hour drive for us to get there, but I’m excited. Hope everyone does okay in the car. My husband is refusing to go because he thinks the kids will be a disaster. *TW End*

4. The weather is getting better here. 50s and 60s during the day. Unfortunately, it looks like rain for our trip this weekend though which is a bummer!

[seeyalater52]

Congrats on the BFP pnwmama

1. Where are you in your journey?
NTNP for #2, no PP cycle yet.

2. Any testing this week?
Tested on Sunday because I forgot to record my last test taken in Ovia and DH wanted me to confirm that the mood swings and constant peeing weren't early symptoms: BFN.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
DH blamed my mood swings/depression on being overwhelmed with parenting and suggested not TTC anymore kids. Although he's being very caring about my mental health, it upset me more because it was never about parenting, it was about enjoying life, which at that moment, my brain wasn't allowing me to do.

4. How is the weather where you live?
It was gorgeous the last two days! I'm hoping that it continues.

Congrats pnwmama!

Congrats pnwmama!

[pnwmama]

Thanks for your support everyone. It means a lot!

1. TTC #2 since May 2017.
2. No, have to call RE on CD1, and have surgery scheduled to remove polyps May 11.
3. My great grandmother passed today. She was 99.5. It was expected, but still sad. We had just started planning her 100th birthday party last month.
4. Finally feels like spring!

[RITS]

TTC#2 since Jan 2017. CD9

HSG on Thursday. Super nervous.

Uhhh... totally tried a yoni steam last night. 🙈 And currently googling acupuncture.

Finally sunny and in the 60s/70s in Seattle.

[seeyalater52]

I’m sorry for your loss, grover.

[pnwmama]

I’m sorry for your loss, grover.

[blt08]

I'm sorry grover.

AF showed up a day early today so CD1 here we go. Just called the RE to schedule my saline sono/HSG and waiting on a call back. Hopefully early next week.

[Deleted]

Sorry grover.

[melsamoony]

grover I am so sorry.

9 dpo over here. Not feeling optimistic about this cycle.at.all. Have had intermittent cramps so I am pretty sure AF will make her appearance this weekend.

[kermit]

I'm officially out at 12DPO with neg test and spotting so I called and made an RE appt for Tuesday. We know we don't want IVF but I want to see if maybe a medicated IUI cycle or two would do the trick. Clearly nothing is happening on our own. I'm torn - I'm okay with our family as it is but I would really like to have another. I don't really want to spend a ton of money trying. So I don't know. I guess we'll see what happens. I figured worst case we'll do bloodwork and see how much things have changed in 4 years. ( I had some baseline CD3 bloodwork done before I got pregnant with DD) If numbers look really bad we'll just call it a day.

I'm sorry about CD1, blt08.

I know this all too well. Mostly, I hate that the decision for more than one is being made for us.

Cd1. Not as upset as usual. I have decided that I will plan a fun activity to do each cycle if I am not pregnant to lessen the sting of not being pregnant. This cycle H and I are having a date night at a pinball bar.

I’ve been thinking about doing something like this, too. Giving myself something to look forward to, to ease the disappointment of CD1.
