1. Where are you at on this journey? (TTC#, month/cycle, CD, DPO) TTC #2, currently in my loss cycle. Waiting for AF of a fresh cycle to resume trying.

2. Any tests this week? OPKs to monitor my cycle, not to try. My hormones are out of whack so my OPKs are basically nearly positive every day at the moment.

3. Any travel plans coming up? I’m hoping to plan something for the last week of February when DS daycare provider is on holidays. I’d love to go somewhere hot but with zika still a concern in most tropical places I don’t think it’s the best idea.

4. Questions, randoms? I started seeing a new naturopathic doctor and had my intake appointment yesterday. She specializes in women’s health and we’ve got a good plan in place to support hormone regulation while my body sorts itself out after the loss and then for next cycle when we resume trying. In general I’m stating to feel more like myself again, but still kind of sad/lost. What I had planned for this year changed completely and I’m such a planner so I need something to focus on again.

TTC1, CD80? I'm doing IVF right now

2. Any tests this week?
I had baseline monitoring on Monday and started stims - they're able to do stims without starting a cycle because I have pcos. Baseline showed 54 follicles

3. Any travel plans coming up?
We're going to NY end of next week for ER. Our clinic is CNY in NY and we live in DC so I do my monitoring locally and only need to go to NY for ER and for transfer. They're far cheaper than my old clinic I did my IUI's with ($3900 vs $11k)

4. Questions, randoms?
Day3 of stims is kicking my butt - dizzy and lightheaded after injections and nauseous during the day, I keep telling myself only another 7 days (estimated) to go.

TTC #2, cycle #8, day 17.

2. Any tests this week? No I am waiting for CD1 to schedule my HSG test and will resume trying next month.

3. Any travel plans coming up? Nope not until July. Maybe sooner depending on our tax refund.

4. Questions, randoms? I am impatiently waiting for my bloodwork and DHs SA. Should be in by next week. Hoping AF comes sooner rather than later but I am enjoying a small break in the TTC craziness.

1. Where are you at on this journey? (TTC#, month/cycle, CD, DPO) TTC #2, cycle 4, CD 15.

2. Any tests this week? OPK; expecting peak fertility tomorrow. I totally forgot to test this morning; I was so mad.

3. Any travel plans coming up? No 😕 I want to sit down and plan our vacations, but we’ve been too busy.

4. Questions, randoms? No
DH’s niece had her baby today. This baby and the baby I lost were due a month apart. I thought I was doing pretty good with it until a friend asked how I was, and I fell apart. I am also just starting to get discouraged that we may never get pregnant again. I know, 4 cycles is not much, but just feeling down today.
