Where are you at in your journey?
We just started our first medicated cycle. I took my first 2 pills last night at 7:00 pm and all has been well so far. H is still on clomid and taking care of himself. Once I get a positive opk I am supposed to call my RE's office so I can get an ultrasound to see how my body is responding. My RE said I should start doing opk's beginning cd 10. I am just really nervous to see what happens with this medicated cycle.

What is your mood? Excited, nervous, and anxious about everything.


QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been? I have never been to Paris, so that would be an amazing trip.

[zombiesquad]

I'm a little disappointed no one thought to bring food to the office to celebrate. I'm starving.

wirt2cute, good luck this cycle!

Status: CD 13, second and last mandatory TTA cycle. Dotted crosshairs today. I knew my chart would wackadoo this cycle.

zombiesquad we have breakfast brought in every Tuesday and I was sure today would be breakfast burritos and was so excited...but...no, evidently no one here takes cinco de mayo as seriously as I do

agpjt413 congrats on bench burning!

I'm PO but no idea how much, ha. FF won't even give me dashed CH at this point. Im CD 21.

Just temp and pnv, tried and failed with OPKs.

Ttc #1 for 9? Months

Mood is frustrated and a little sad. Have cd 3 testing and HSG once AF comes, we barely had any sex near any possible FW and the cycle is totally wacky so ready to put it behind us!

QOTW: I'm with agpjt413, African Safari is way up there. Greece is a close second.

[Deleted]

What is your mood? meh, ok I guess it is what is but pretty sure I've O'd (waiting on ch's) and timing was lousy due to colds...

QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been?
I have 3 top picks but African Safari has been mentioned so:
Trip to Scotland
Land/Water trip to Alaska

[vh2014]

What are you doing this month? All the letters- PNV, BBT, DHEA, Vit D, and ACPT (Acupunture)

Where are you at in your journey? Just waiting for something... anything.. to happen.. but if nothing does DE in June (ish)

What is your mood? Busy. I've been so busy at work for a few weeks that I haven't been able to have much of a TTC mood thankfully.


QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been? Belize and Greece. I really want to go to Greece lately for no particular reason other than it looks gorgeous. Even went on AirBNB to see what they had. Really reasonable and soooo tempting.

[wannabmama]

vh2014 Belize was awesome!!

[agpjt413]

OOOOH I want to go to Greece too, wannabmama!!

And our wedding venue/destination was a toss up b/w Alaska and HI. We chose the latter but hope to visit AK one day, @kellbell. A family friend of mine used to do several Alaskan cruise trips with his late wife. They did it through Holland America and enjoyed the onboard cooking class and midnight chocolate buffet

[Deleted]

agpjt413, midnight chocolate buffett sounds heavenly!

[wirt2cute]

zombiesquad, YAY for your last TTA cycle. I lived in Japan for 3 years with my ex-husband. He was in the Army so we were stationed over there. 

agpjt413, so excited you get to burn that bench. 


scorpioscuba, I would love to dive one day, but I doubt H would ever do it. 


wannabmama, sorry your cycle is being so wacky. 


@kellbell, sorry about your timing this month. 

vh2014, My family is doing a 7 day cruise to Belize.

Doesn't it?! My cousin went on a Holland America cruise when her kids were in elementary school and she woke them up just to see the buffet LOL!! I think one of her boys enjoyed the chocolate waterfall but the other went back to bed

[agpjt413]

Thank you!! And thanks again for my bonfire!!! wirt2cute

[luvmyponies]

wirt2cute Thanks for the check in! Love the Cinco de Mayo cat!
agpjt413 Yay for bench burning!!!

Status: Stimming for IVF #1. Hoping ER is this weekend or sooner.

What are you doing this month? Acupuncture, stimming

Where are you at in your journey? TTC #1 since May 2014. Wishing I hadn't wasted three months f'ing around with unmonitored Clomid - I could have started the IVF process last fall.

What is your mood? Hopeful! But still nervous for all the steps ahead of us.

QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been? I've always wanted to go on an African Safari, see the Pyramids in Egypt, and gallop across the countryside in Ireland.

[wirt2cute]

luvmyponies, Fx for this weekend.

[nikolie93]

Hey ladies! Positive thoughts to you all

[dream2be3]

A little late to the party but....ND, TTC #1.

I'm mobile so forgive me for not tagging individuals. I hope everyone has a successful month and we start seeing a lot more BFP's soon!

I started BCP today in preparation for IVF and I'm getting more and more anxious to get this process moving. Called today to see how much my meds are gonna be....ouch! It was actually less than I was expecting so that's my positive for today. Lol

The only place outside the US and Canada that I've been to is India. I've been there several times and would love to go back but there are so many other places I'd like to visit. Thailand and Greece would be at the top.

[URMySunshine77]

wirt2cute, that's exciting about your first medicated cycle!

agpjt413, congrats on burning the bench! 

luvmyponies and dream2be3, so much love and luck to you both with the IVF preparations.

Status: TTC #2 for 14 months, 14 cycles (two benched)


What are you doing this month? Temping, EOD sex, acupuncture, prenatals, DHA/EPA, Stress-B complex, probiotics, positive attitude. The OPKs my sister gave me don't seem to work. I never got positive this month, and I was pissed. We hit -2 and O.


Where are you at in your journey? 6DPO 


What is your mood? I'm feeling ambivalent. DS has been really sick for four days, so I've just been anxious about getting him to feel well.


QOTW: I would really love to visit Scandinavia. Have any of you been?

[lolbraun]

Status: TTC #1 for 19 months with 1 loss

What are you doing this month? Vitamins and sex with DH

Where are you in your journey? CD 11. Just got call yesterday that we will be starting BC for IVF next cycle!!!

What is your mood? As per usual all over the place. So excited to be starting IVF, also nervous to be starting, and still that sad little part of me that hoped we'd do it naturally.

QOTW: I've traveled throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, but haven't made it to Africa. DH hasn't travelled as much so not sure where next big trip will be.

[summergirl1211]

What are you doing this month? BBT, possibly OPK's, but I haven't decided 100% yet.



Where are you at in your journey? This will be cycle number one. So excited and so nervous at the same time.



What is your mood? Anxious, excited, weary.



QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been? So many places. I'd love to go to Europe. I'd also love Fiji. I love to travel so I could never turn down a trip, unless there are lots of dangerous snakes and/or large spiders.

[jess9802]

Status:
TTA this cycle; we'll start TTC next cycle. 



What are you doing this month?
Charting to get back in the habit. I'm using OPKs even though we're TTA.






Where are you at in your journey?
Excited to try for a second baby.






What is your mood?
Tired. I finally went back to urgent care yesterday because I'd been sick for four weeks. Doc gave me an antibiotic, so here's hoping I'm 100% soon.






QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been? Anywhere - I've never been east of the Rocky Mountains or outside the US. Spain is #1 on my list.

[wirt2cute]

So I had to call my RE because I have been getting these massive headaches at night. She said that the letrozole can cause this and I could take Tylenol. However I forgot to ask how much I can take. Is there a limit on how much Tylenol one can take?

jess9802, Good luck next month when you are officially on the TTC train.

summergirl1211, FX, for your first month.

lolbraun, I totally understand wanting to do things naturally, but YAY for starting your IVF cycle!!!!!

URMySunshine77, awww sorry DS has been sick. I hope he starts feeling better soon. Sorry about the opks, I bought this off brand type last year and they never worked for me. I had to quickly switch back to wondfo.

dream2be3, Yay for getting that party started!!

[dream2be3]

wirt2cute, - I "get" to take 2 500mg Tylenol's in like a 4 or 6 hr period. Tylenol doesn't do squat for me if I have a major headache so I've been taking the Tylenol, using essential oils and a cold compress across my eyes or back of neck.

I might have to get a cold compress to help. I find myself taking 4 (500 mg) within 2 hours of each other because the headache will not stop. I am taking the letrozole at night but the headaches are keeping me awake unless I take the 4 Tylenol.

If your home is dry, think about getting a humidifier - it seems to help me.  I have to use one at home and work all winter long and into the spring or I get terrible sinus headaches.  I find that if there's moisture in the air I get fewer headaches and I haven't had a sinus infection (knock on wood) since I started using a humidifier.

[tat2mami]

Hola amigas! Sorry I got MIA here and there. I just get so caught up at work that I don't have time to come on here! Hope everyone is doing great and we get some BFP's up in this motha! LoL

What are you doing this month?
Just the usual ... DTD and PNV.

Where are you at in your journey?
I am CD 15 - Feeling some ovulations cramps since yesterday. DH had his SA done and it came back normal. I have an appt with the RE tomorrow to discuss the HSG test?
DH and I have been talking about TTC and we both agree that life is pretty damn good with our DD and that if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I don't think either of us are into taking an aggressive approach at this time. Takes some pressure off the situation.


What is your mood?
Pretty bummed out that I have to go to Sacramento for 5 days next week. I have never left my DD for that long and we are all having a hard time with it.


QOTW: Where do you most want to travel, but have never been?
Hmm.. I'm not much of a traveler. I love tropical places with beautiful beaches. However, I would like to go to Italy one day.
