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

What are you doing this month? Still...fracking...waiting.

Where are you at in your journey? Just over 4 weeks past D&C.

What is your mood? Stabby. Work is being stupid and I need this first cycle to be over. I'm convinced it's going to be more uncomfortable than normal. Ugh.

QOTW: Inspired by the Parenting blind item thread. Do you like celebrity gossip? Not particularly. It really depends on the celebrity and what it is though. I love to hear about good things celebrities are doing. I don't care so much for hearing about their love lives. DNW to be in their bedroom with them.

I'm so sorry you're still waiting badwolf. It's the worst. I hope AF shows up soon.

Status: TTC#2

What are you doing this month? Just got AF after my MC in May so this is our first month TTC since our IVF cycle in April/May. HSG will be next Tuesday. We will give it the "old go at it" this month before a medicated IUI/TI cycle next cycle.

Where are you at in your journey? CD3 in this first month after MC.

What is your mood? Annoyed that everyone seems to be moving on and getting pregnant but me.

QOTW: Inspired by the Parenting blind item thread. Do you like celebrity gossip? I do! I check usmagazine.come once a day at lunch to catch up on it.

What is your mood? Ok. It's been a long few days of timed intercourse so I'm happy to be moving into the TWW

QOTW: Inspired by the Parenting blind item thread. Do you like celebrity gossip?
I'm not super into regular gossip, like who is dating or lost weight or whatever. But I do love a good celebrity conspiracy.

(*possible TW/OPPs*) One time I spiraled on the "Beyoncé wasn't actually pregnant" theory. I kind of buy it. Photo evidence behind spoiler.

(((Hugs))) jlincoln. The feeling of being left behind is one of the worst.

caer, I will admit that I also spiraled a bit on the Beyonce thing awhile back.

Status: TTC#2

What are you doing this month? After 5 months of meds and 4 failed IUIs, we're done with the RE and have gone back to natural cycles for a few months before giving up.

Where are you at in your journey? CD5 of cycle 15

What is your mood? I vacillate from being ok to wanting to crawl into a ball and cry. The latter happens mostly when I see pregnancy announcements.

QOTW: Inspired by the Parenting blind item thread. Do you like celebrity gossip? I do. It's a guilty pleasure of mine when I'm bored. I love People magazine and Us Weekly.

I'm new here - into'd last week - so I hope it's okay for me to jump in and post.

Status: NTNP for no. 2 after a traumatic miscarriage in May.

What are you doing this month? Still NTNP.

Where are you at in your journey? I'm relieved that it's CD1 today. My first period came so soon after the miscarriage that I really didn't feel ready this month, although since I'm 39 we didn't feel we could really prevent. We also only had sex about three times because I've been nervous about it, but my sex drive is slowly beginning to return now.

Our background is that it took 28 cycles to conceive our first. Then I got pregnant after six weeks of NTNP, but it didn't work out. I realise how incredibly privileged I am! Two years isn't a long time compared to so many, and I've only experienced one loss.

What is your mood? Pretty good at the moment. Trying to be positive, although the idea of either getting pregnant or failing to are both pretty nerve-wracking at the moment. That's why we're NTNP for the summer at least, then we'll see.

QOTW: Inspired by the Parenting blind item thread. Do you like celebrity gossip? I don't usually care, but that thread is a bit of a magnet.
