Status: TTC #3


What are you doing this month? PNV, Folic, Iron, Sex



Where are you at in your journey? Last month was our first month back in the swing of things. CD 1 started Monday so now we move on to this month. I am predicting my fertile week to be right before I leave for my vacation with my mom, so hopefully we can get some time in during my fertile week.


What is your mood? child mentioned

SPOILER: Click to show

My oldest had his surgery on yesterday and so far he is doing okay. When he got his feel good medicine, he became a nonstop chatter box, talking about the show “Empire” and Cookie Lyons, it was so funny. Now we are in the recoevery part and he starts physical therapy in 13 days.

QOTW: (totally borrowed from GKU) Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? When I was little they said I looked like “Rudy Huxtable”.

What are you doing this month? Just waiting for next cycle


Where are you at in your journey? CD28/6DPO(I think). Natural cycle after 4 failed medicated cycles (3 with IUI). Will see what the RE recommends when next cycle starts.


What is your mood? Not great. As I have mentioned before, our plans all along have been to TFAS until the last cycle that would put me at delivering before I turned 40. I had calculated that as being the my cycle starting in July. Recently, I realized I have been miscalculating for the past year and it's actually my June cycle. So one more cycle. After not having any answers as to why we're struggling and 3 failed IUIs, this realization just seemed to put one more nail in the coffin in our efforts to have second child. MH and I need to have a serious conversation as to whether we are going to hold to our original plan or keep going until the RE says our only remaining option is IVF (which he might say next time I see him.) When we originally made the deadline last year, neither of us ever expected to even come close to it. I hate the idea of giving up but I also feel like maybe we should just move on and start accepting that we're OAD-NBC.


OTW: (totally borrowed from GKU) Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? Even though I'm 9 years older, I was told that the Olsen twins as babies looked just like me as a baby. And when DD was a baby, several people told me that she looked just like the Olsen twins. Now, I just get a lot of "you look so familiar" but I don't look like anyone famous.

Status: Benched, waiting for beta to drop from early MC. Next beta check is Monday. Praying this goes quickly since I wasn't far along, but I guess you never know.


What are you doing this month? Nothing...praying for a quick beta drop.


Where are you at in your journey? Waiting - see above


What is your mood? Still upset about MC, but learning to deal. Starting to get some hope back.


OTW: (totally borrowed from GKU) Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? Back in HS it was Katie Holmes, although I didn't see it much.

I'm glad that the surgery went well wirt2cute! Thoughts and prayers for a quick, easy recovery.

Many (((hugs))) sleepymonkey. FWIW, our original deadline was DH's 40th birthday this past February. Like you, I never expected we would actually hit that deadline. We did decide to continue forward for now but I know it's a tough conversation to have. Sending good thoughts for peace with whatever decision you make.

Sending good beta dropping vibes jlincoln. Also some (((hugs))) for the difficult feelings. Loss is really, really hard.

Status: Cycle 13 of TFAS

What are you doing this month? OPKs, PNVs, Vit D

Where are you at in your journey? CD 6

What is your mood? Ok. We decided we're going to move onto medicated cycles next month if we can get our loan in place to pay for it. So this will hopefully be our last natural cycle.

A few people have told me I look like Rebecca Hall (she was in The Town and Iron Man). Her pic's below. I don't think we look alike except we both have long faces and full lips.

wirt2cute hope your LO continues to have a good recovery!!

sleepymonkey looming deadlines are so tough. We are also only going until I'm 40...we started when I was 36, so it seemed totally reasonable. We are half way there now. I know that's still "a lot" of time left but I'm not overly optimistic, either. Time is cruel.
jlincoln waiting out betas is hard and frustrating. I hope they drop fast for you and you can move on when you're ready.
Good luck caer here's hoping the last natural cycle is THE cycle for you guys!

Status: TTC #1 for almost two years


What are you doing this month? Sex


Where are you at in your journey? CD21, hopefully PO but not sure if I'll be able to tell when it was...temps have been all over with fever, then too hot room, drinking over Memorial Day weekend, now room has been very cold...got an almost positive OPK on Sunday, but didn't catch fully positive (I tend to get darker and darker and then fade, so I could've missed it on either side). So who knows!


What is your mood? A little frustrated by the above...our chances to conceive naturally have been put so low by the RE, I know any natural cycle is unlikely to be successful...but we did the old college try for sure. As long as I O'ed by Wednesday, we're in it. We were going to try again yesterday but MH was in a mood when he got home and it wasn't happening. Annoying.


OTW: (totally borrowed from GKU) Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? People say Maggie Gyllenhaal which is sad bc most people also seem to think she is ugly (seriously, google her) but I don't see it anyway, ha. I do have chipmunk cheeks like her, I guess.

Status: TTC #2 for me, #1 for DH

What are you doing this month? Taking it easy, nothing more than that. On hold during recovery.

Where are you at on your journey? 1 day past D&C still recovering, doctors appointment in two weeks

What is your mood? Really good actually. My D&C was yesterday and went very well. I spent the rest of the day sleeping. I'm feeling less sore and tired today so I've managed to get out and about a bit this morning. Emotionally I'm doing really well. A lot better than I thought I'd be. I think taking control of the outcome and having a fantastic doctor and support system has helped a lot. I see the doctor again in two weeks and we'll talk about what our next steps are. I believe there will be some testing at some point to make sure I'm ovulating properly. I'm upbeat and looking forward to what's next

QOTW: (totally borrowed from GKU) Have you ever been told you look like someone famous?

I've heard a couple of times I look like Sandra Bullock. I like her so I'm okay with that. One time I was told I look like a Fraggle. But I think that person just wanted to be mean.

[caer]

FX for you wannabmama for your natural cycle. I'm sorry you weren't able to pinpoint O but I'm glad you likely had good timing.

**loss talk below**

I'm glad you're doing ok badwolf. I also opted for a D&C and felt relief that I had a little control over the situation, so I know what you mean. It's wonderful you have a great doctor and support system. Sending (((hugs)))
