1. TTC #1, approx 1 million years. I’m not long for this board probably since we will be starting an IVF protocol this summer.

2. Tested this morning at 13dpo. I still need to officially test tomorrow so I can call the clinic but I’m pretty much out.

3. I am in pretty much the worst mood ever. Just have to get through this week at work and then our IVF consult is the 21st and I’ll be off from work on vacation until the 30th.

4. Nope. Thank goodness.

1. Where are you in your journey? Gearing up to try again for #2, been trying since July

2. Any testing this week?well my numbers are still dropping so I'm getting blood drawn tomorrow and it should be under 10

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? One of friends from my mommy's group posted that it was 9:30 am, she was still in bed, listening to her husband pack up her son as her mother's day gift was a day all to herself an I just don't get that AT ALL.

4. Do you live in the same place now as where you grew up? Kind of, my dad was military so we settled here when I was a teenager

1. Where are you in your journey?
ttc1, CD21

2. Any testing this week?
nope, will start provera in a couple weeks to bring on AF and then we're doing IUI

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm kinda mad at DH. He knew yesterday was mothers day (obviously), we both lost our mom's several years ago but we were hanging out last night watching tv. We have a million things on the DVR and he had to put on SNL which was the mothers day special. He also said him and dog made dinner and bought a cake for me because of mothers day. One of the skits was a cast member thanking his mom for raising him to not be an asshole and DH said to me I must not have done a good job with Mike (the dog) because he's an asshole (he's a 2 yr old rescue with anxiety issues). I know he meant it funny but it actually kinda stung and when I went up to bed (without saying anything) I think he realized it sort of hurt.

4. Do you live in the same place now as where you grew up?
Nope, we grew up in Wisconsin, live in Virginia now. Although I did tell DH if we do pop out a kid I'd like to move back since that's where both sides of the family are.

Awwww don't stew on this.  Especially knowing it was a joke...react and give him a chance to affirm it was a joke and learn that it's not funny

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, cycle 8, 3DPO

2. Any testing this week? no

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I think I might have OHSS. My IUI was Friday and I got a trigger shot Thursday. Saturday afternoon I started having really bad cramps and it hurt to stand up straight. Bloating too. It got a little better Sunday but I just can't move very fast. I was okay this morning until about 9 and then got really terrible pain again. I got home and curled up on the couch. I called the RE and left a message. I only had 3 follicles so I didn't think I needed to worry about this. I read that the trigger shot can sometimes cause it though.

4. Do you live in the same place now as where you grew up? No, about 3 hours away.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2 after losses, cycle 1, CD 7

2. Any testing this week? OPKs simply because I haven't charted in so long

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I thought about waiting one more cycle to start trying since we are going to the beach at the beginning of June. On the (very very slim) chance I did get pregnant the first cycle I would be like 6 weeks pregnant on vacation and a bundle of nerves. But I hate to push it back just for that.

4. Do you live in the same place now as where you grew up? No but I live where my mom grew up and my grandparents lived. Since I was a military kid this was closer to "home" for me than a lot of places I lived!

1. TTC #2 since Jan 2017

2. No.

3. I started acupuncture last week so I’m excited to see if that helps. 🤷🏻‍♀️

4. No. But after moving overseas together, we’ve now settled about 45 minutes from where DH grew up.

1. TTC #2 since August 2017, loss in December, cd 16 I should ovulate today/tomorrow.

2. Nope about to enter the TEE

3. I am struggling with mixed emotions for my sister who just told me she is pregnant after trying for 1/2 months. I am so happy for her as she had to wait for her H to be cleared of a zika risk after a post hurricane deployment but it still stings for me.

4. I do live where I grew up. I was out of the area for college and then came back.

1. TTC #2 since May 2017

2. Nope, pelvic rest for 2 weeks after polyp removal last week.

3. Ready to either have treatment work this summer or accept that we're OAD. At this point, even with fertility coverage through Dec, I'm not sure I want to go through IVF if the IUI doesn't work. Mentally, I need a decision made sooner than later, so tentatively we're at the we'll do three summer IUIs then re-evaluate but I'm leaning towards OAD at that point. #1 took 4 years from starting TTC to birth, and I can't have that long of TTC again this time around, I know I can't handle that mentally.

4. Lived in the same state I was born in. Wish I could move though!
