1. Where are you at on this journey? (TTC#, month/cycle, CD, DPO)

TTC#1, 6/6, CD 19, 4DPO

2. Any upcoming tests? I am once again starting the TWW. I will test starting at 9DPO since I have about 50+ HPT at home (Wondfo, Clear Blue, dollar store and FRER). H will get his SA this week.

3. Do you like Fall?

I used to hate Fall because it meant dreary days, cold temps and rain and nothing really exciting happening until Thanksgiving but now I love it. I would love to just sit by the fire and read/watch TV all weekend long but that means my step count would be lower than 3K and it would stress me out lol.

4. Questions, random, chart stalk?

1. Where are you at on this journey? (TTC#, month/cycle, CD, DPO)
ttc1, cycle 5 (cycle 2 with RE), CD16.

2. Any upcoming tests?
None, IUI#2 was on Saturday so my beta will be Oct 12.  I did test out the trigger shot yesterday like I did before.

3. Do you like Fall?
Love it. I actually prefer fall to spring. The cooler weather, open windows, pretty leaves etc.

4. Questions, random, chart stalk?
I'm already feeling defeated from IUI#2. I'm hoping I'm wrong since I'm only 2dpiui.
I also don't chart - ever. I used to but the RE actually discourages it and I have complete faith in him

megstoo Why does your RE discourage it?

 I have PCOS so the RE said not to bother with the chart since I don't ovulate on my own so the chart really is pointless, he said not to waste my money on OPK's which is true.  That's what monitoring and blood work appts are for and using the trigger shot when I'm told too.

It makes sense if you have PCOS. I thought you meant he discouraged it for everyone.

I am seeing my PCP tomorrow and she does OB care too and I am going to talk about my chart and asking for a RE recommendation. I feel like with all the data from my chart, I come prepared and know what's going on with my cycles.

1. Where are you at on this journey? (TTC#, month/cycle, CD, DPO)
TTC #2 cycle 3 cd30 10-11dpo

2. Any upcoming tests?
Really trying to wait for a missed period before testing.
No matter how many negative tests I get before my period I always convince myself I still might be pregnant and that's stressful. Trying not to over analyze.

3. Do you like Fall?
Love it! Mostly the weather, colors, and crunchy leaves.
I also like pumpkin stuff but today I saw an ad for pumpkin spice deodorant and that may be a bit too far. Do I really need pumpkin spiced sweat?

4. Questions, random, chart stalk?
Sigh. This time of month is hard. I always feel down or stressed during tww.

1. TTC#2. Cycle 3. CD 25. 3 DPO

2. No testing this week. I luckily decided to do an OPK last Friday and surprise surprise, it was positive! I ovulated on Saturday. So either something decided to start working in my body or the pills I started taking actually worked, because based off the last two cycles, I didn’t expect to ovulate until this coming Saturday or Sunday. The pills say to quit taking after confirming pregnancy, but I really wondering if they need to be taking after ovulation. Though they are considered a pre-natal, so I guess I should keep taking them.

3. I love fall and the changing leaves and pumpkins(but not pumpkin spice) and sweaters and hoodies and tall boots and football. If I could get all that without the sun going down earlier, that would be awesome. Could do without winter. I need to live somewhere that is fall year round.

4. No questions or anything. Just in the obsessing period of the TTW. I’ve got my hopes up again and I hate it. I’m hoping our timing was ok, we only did O-3. Though does it count as O-2 if it was after midnight? Haha

1. Where are you at on this journey? (TTC#, month/cycle, CD, DPO) TTC #2, cycle 5, CD 1 (boo)

2. Any upcoming tests? Too early


3. Do you like Fall? Looovvveee fall. It’s my favourite! Nothing better than a cozy sweater and cute boots!


4. Questions, random, chart stalk? We’re going to take a break for this cycle and the one following since we have a Europe trip in the second week of December and there would be nothing that would ruin our trip more than a jettlagged toddler AND morning sickness.

Maybe TW - Apologies if any of this acts as a trigger for anyone.

I think I am going to join you here, at least sporadically for a bit until we figure out what is going on. I was here briefly in the spring. I have a congenital heart defect, I’m 37, and have PCOS, and by some miracle, I got pregnant on my first cycle of actually trying. But, my baby had a super rare and fatal condition and left us at 14 weeks in August. I’m 6 weeks out from our D&E. We are getting back on the bandwagon of trying in the event it takes awhile given the age and PCOS. So... not really experiencing trouble just yet, so I don’t know what board is the best fit.

1. Where are you at on this journey? I guess TTC #2. Still waiting for my cycle to return...

2. Any upcoming tests? Had my appointment today with REI. Since my period hasn’t returned, she’s afraid I stopped ovulated due to the weight I gained with the pregnancy and emotional eating of the loss. We are waiting another month to see if it starts and losing weight ASAP. But maybe it is just being slow to return (which happens sometimes, I think).

3. Do you like Fall? I’m definitely more of a Spring person, but I do appreciate the colors of the leaves!

4. Questions, random, chart stalk?
Lol - see above
