I figured I would pick this ball up and keep it going

1. Where are you in your journey?

2. Any testing this week?

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?

4. What are your talents? 

[jennistarr1]

1. TTC#2 since July, CD13, first one since miscarriage earlier this year. I'm 37 and scared I'm running out of time
2. Nope
3. I won an award from my graduate school, totally unexpected
4. I really have none, it used to be the running joke with my mom "you're good with people=I want a new talent"

[grover]

1. TTC#2 since May 2017, waiting for CD1 so we can get an IUI cycle going.
2. nope
3. did a tot gymnastics class today. I feel like I just did a workout myself.
4. I am patient (special education middle school teacher!)

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, cycle 2, CD 15

2. Any testing this week? Had a positive OPK yesterday but we didn’t end up BDing. Technically could today but I’m tired and we’re still more in the not trying/not avoiding stage so I’m not super driven.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? Nothing too much to report. I think I’ve managed to work out a girls weekend for the civic holiday in August so that will be fun. It’s been a long time since we were able to make our schedules work.

4. What are your talents? I’m a pretty talented flautist.

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

2. Any testing this week? Maybe Sunday

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? ***TW loss mentioned*** One of my good friends/coworkers just lost their baby at 22 weeks, I am just heartbroken for them. And in an "all about me" moment, it adds to the stress of TTC after losses - but I feel horrible making this about myself in any way and can't really share theses thoughts with anyone else.

4. What are your talents? I can play the violin and I'm a pretty good cook.

1. Where are you in your journey? This is my first cycle TTC #2 and I am on CD14. My OPK said I am ovulating today, so yay!
2. Any testing this week? No after today I will be in the 2ww
3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? My son started swim lessons last night and he’s doing so well, I am so proud of him. Summer is my favorite season so I am a happy girl. I love the beach and being outside.
4. What are your talents? Idk, maybe dance? I took it for a long time growing up, stopped and now I am doing Zumba. I am not amazing but I think I can hold my own lol

1. Where are you in your journey?
ttc #1, CD20

2. Any testing this week?
ultrasound tomorrow to see if my cyst went down. Was supposed to start IUI meds a couple weeks ago but on my CD3 ultrasound there was to large of a cyst so I went on BC for 2 weeks

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I had to go to the DMV for a new license and couldn't do it online (10 year renewal). I was in and out of the DMV in 20 minutes which I swear is a record but I went right when they first open

4. What are your talents?
I can procrastinate like there's no tomorrow and then delegate if I'm against a deadline so I don't have to do it.

I think it's knowing that we're all on this roller coaster and it adds to fear/anxiety because we can do little to control any of this

Well maybe I do have a talent too (procrastination) but you'll have to teach me your ways on the latter part

If I had known procrastination was a talent I would have chosen that, I'm way better at procrastinating that I am at cooking or playing the violin

Fingers crossed for your ultrasound tomorrow megstoo!

I’m jumping in here. I had my IUD removed yesterday.
1. TTC #2. Not sure where I am in my cycle since I just had my iud removed. Not trying/not preventing this month. My gyn said he advises waiting for my first real cycle, but I generally think that’s more laziness when they advise that. I’m not home a ton right now due to work.

2. No testing.

3. My gyn thinks that since I got pregnant “on my own” last time(cycle of clomid in April, BFN. No meds in May, BFP after 20 months of trying...) that we might have better success this time. I’m not as optimistic. If nothing happens by January, I’m going to push for testing and intervention. I’m not waiting almost 2 years again if clomid is what we need.

4. I am also a professional procrastinator. I wrote every paper for my English class this past semester in the 2 days before it was due.

1. TTC #1
Just had my period last weekend. We'll try again this month.
2. No testing
3. I am tired of people telling us we should be pregnant by now. Especially people who never had kids in their life and who have no idea that having sex every day isn't the sure way of getting pregnant. Mind your own business!
4. I am very crafty. Although I don't do crafts anymore because they tend to annoy me after a while.

Welcome!

UGH - IUI #2 cancelled. It was cancelled last month because of a cyst that showed up on the ultrasound. I went on BC for 2 weeks. Went back today and the damn thing is even larger. Waiting on the nurse to call me back but the ultrasound tech said with the size it is they'll cancel it. Good news if there is any is that I was still showing 14 total follicles.

[greengables]

I'm so sorry megstoo

[achi]

I’m so sorry to hear that megstoo.

[jennistarr1]

oh no megstoo,

[lillaguma]

I'm so sorry, megstoo

1. TTC#2 since May 2017, loss in December. Currently 10dpo.

2. I'm going to wait until Monday to test, I think. Im tempted to buy a test today and take it tomorrow morning, but the bfns are so discouraging so need to just wait.

3. Nothing big going on here. I have the sweetest 3-year-old in the world but she's started showing a little more of a tantrum side of herself this week. Hoping this won't stick around.

4. I really enjoy crafting, mostly needlework and sewing. I also have always felt that I'm very resourceful and I'm proud of that.
