Where are you from: Wyoming, originally.


Status: TTC #2 since last January. CD I don't remember.

What is your mood? Pretty calm these days.



QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Hmmm. A lot of the everyday ones would be appropriate. Explicit lyrics (I swear a lot)? Contents may have settled (stupid gravity)? Contents under pressure?

wirt2cute, Sorry about the new cycle. I hope you are able to just relax this month.
@kellbell, I hope you feel better soon!

[wannabmama]

I agree, more BFPs, I need to do some more happy dances these days!

From MA (loss mentioned below)
TTC #1, cycle 8?, CD 7

Just temping and hoping to have lots of sex. After my CP, the bleeding has lingered at this annoying slow pace--I'm usually 3-4 days tops and now day 7, talk about insult to injury. I'm just ready to get back to sexy time!

Have first RE appt 4/21, curious to see what that path might have in store.

My mood is all over the place. Most of the time I'm fine, but I get these bouts of sadness and am more nervous than ever about the potential of losses. I knew intellectually it is always possible but it still hit hard. I keep focusing on how happy we were I that day, it warms my heart to know that DH was so happy, not that I really doubted we were ready and want a baby, but it's still nice to have seen and felt what it would be like for it to be "real." Now I'm just anxious and eager to get back to it...hoping my cycle doesn't go all wonky now.

QOTW: my warning label would definitely be: warning: cries at everything.

Seriously, I'm one of the happiest people I know...but man can I cry at the drop of a hat. Happy tears, sad tears, frustrated tears...every emotion comes out of me as tears!

[tiresiastheblond]

Hugs, wannabmama.

tiresiastheblond FX IVF #2 is your cycle

Where are you from: MA

Status: TTC#1 since May 2014

What are you doing this month? CD1, just waiting around until CD21 to begin oral meds for IVF #1

What is your mood? Hopeful and anxious to start meds for IVF... but scared about the process and that it won't work.

QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: Does not put up with stupid people (yup it's one of those days!)

[momtex]

wirt2cute, sorry about CD1. I had that too this weekend and ended up crying in a bar on our anniversary trip. There's more to that story but I have no doubt that AF was to fault for the tears.

wannabmama, hugs to you.

Good luck tiresiastheblond!

Where are you from: Texas

Status: TTC #2 since Jan '15

What are you doing this month? BDing during fertile window

Where are you at in your journey? TTC has become another thing on the to do list. One day we will have sex for fun again.

What is your mood? Hopeful. DH isn't traveling much this month so we have a chance for awesome timing.

QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Can't think of anything

[wirt2cute]

momtex sorry about cd1. I wish a had a bar yesterday. Some heavy drinking was definitely needed yesterday.

luvmyponies FX that everything will work with your IVF process.

[jess9802]

Where are you from: Oregon
Status: TTA
What are you doing this month? I am getting my IUD removed today. We will begin TTC #2 in May.
Where are you at in your journey? Ready to start trying for a second. We have an almost three year old DS, and my husband's 15 year old lives with us during the school year.
What is your mood? Nervous but excited.

QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? WARNING: Do not operate without coffee and adequate nightly sleep.

[boobacat]

From Michigan
TTC #2 since August '13
Was working with an RE, meeting with him about ivf on 4-6 however, DH is backing off that option due to cost. His work is bit dicey right now and it looks like we will have to hold off for a little while if not completely eliminate ivf as an option. Going natural this cycle. CD17- I think o today.

Mood: timing was good but honestly, feeling devastated by DH's feelings and the situation. I get it, we are not made of money and there is no guarantee but I'm starting to feel helpless.

Warning: Incredibly loyal, until crossed. Don't have time for that.

[lennonkdc]

Where are you from: Cleveland


Status: NTNP, last cycle before TTC #1


What are you doing this month? Temping, OPKing to figure them out, and enjoying things as they are


Where are you at in your journey? I'm excited for this to be our last 'dry run' cycle, as it were. Part of me wants to press the issue with MH to start TTC now, but I need to calm down and remember that we agreed to start after our vacation (in 2 weeks!!) When we are successful (gotta think positive) I know I'll have moments when I regret wishing those "just the two of us" days away. So I am living in the present, enjoying MH and life as it is now. Plus I know I can hit the bar (and the raw bar) on vacation without fear


What is your mood? Upbeat



QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Do not interact with before optimal caffeine level reached!

[lickwed]

I'm going to try this in gifs, lets see how it goes.

#2

What are you doing this month?






Where are you at in your journey? CD16 should be Oing later this week. Trying to catch my surge has me feeling like this.



What is your mood?



QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
State mandated testing time always makes me feel like this

And this week with all the water to increase CM, I feel like this


aaaannnndddd this only took me all day to do, so I will go back and love tit and shout out later.

[wannabmama]

lickwed That. Was. Incredible.

[Deleted]

Awesome lickwed,!

[boobacat]

Ha lickwed! Awesome!

[luvmyponies]

lickwed I love it!!

boobacat I'm so sorry, FX that your natural cycle does the trick!

[tat2mami]

lickwed - Loved your post!

Where are you from: Northern Cal


Status: TTC #2 since last March/April


What are you doing this month? BD'ing during fertile days.


Where are you at in your journey? I am on CD4! The next step for us would be for my DH to submit a sample for a semen analysis. He is NOT jumping out of his seat to get that done. Next step after that would be to do the 'dye test' to check for any blockage. I don't know. My DH and I go back and forth sometimes about how aggressive to be. He'll make light of it and say, "if it happens and happens. we're in a great place right now with DD and life is good ... but then there are other times when we both get upset that it isn't happening!


What is your mood? Current mood would be kinda blah. Just at work waiting for it to be 5pm!!



QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Never mistake my kindness for weakness!!

[momtex]

Omg, @lickwed, the STAAR is killing me too! I work in a very small open concept elementary and its nearly impossible to keep everyone quiet.

[wirt2cute]

lickwed I love your gif post.

[meredithcarole]

Where are you from: Florida currently. tiresiastheblond, I was born in Casper and lived there until 1989.

Status: TTC #1, one loss


What are you doing this month? Well timed sex followed by obsessive symptom checking (cramps, back ache, mild nausea in case you're curious)


Where are you at in your journey? We've been trying for 15 months. It is my first cycle in 4 months off the bench.


What is your mood? Cranky.



QOTW: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warming: biting sarcasm ahead.

[lickwed]

wirt2cute Sorry about CD1, but your label is right, you are flawless.

tiresiastheblond Good luck with this cycle!

wannabmama so many hugs.

luvmyponies so excited for you to start this cycle and it does seem like stupid people are everywhere.

momtex fx for good timing!

jess9802 So glad you guys are ready to start. Your warning label is great. I think people underestimate the importance of a good night's sleep.

boobacat I am so sorry for DH's change of heart. We would be in a similar situation. No matter what, due to cost, fertility treatments will never be an option. FX that this natural cycle works for you guys. Looks like I will be a day or 2 behind you this time. Hopefully that will be lucky for us both.

lennonkdc Where are you going for vacation?

tat2mami The tube test might not be bad. It would stink to just see what happens but not be able to because there was something treatable going on. Hopefully DH will cowboy up and get his analysis done.

meredithcarole FX! Your chart looks incredible. I hope all the symptoms are the real deal.

Omg, @lickwed, the STAAR is killing me too! I work in a very small open concept elementary and its nearly impossible to keep everyone quiet.

What grade are you?  I could not survive in an open concept school.  My natural voice is too loud for that set up. This is my 15th year to test, but my first in third grade.  Most of me wants to just say




Of course the need to be successful has me saying


So I keep on.  My poor kids.  All of this prep and I am going to look like such an idiot if I have the most kids fail.  Most of the other teachers in my grade level are not doing as many of the practice sheets I am.

I'm the speech pathologist so I usually have a small group to test. My room is one if the few in our school with 4 walls and a door so it's prime real estate on testing days! I got kicked out yesterday and was attempting to do silent speech therapy groups in an open room. On non-testing days, I actually like the open concept. You would think it's loud and chaotic, but it's not. Lots of background chatter but the kids really do tune it out. We don't have a high transfer rate so this is all most of the kids know. Two more days until a long weekend!

[wirt2cute]

lickwed, Your kids are going to do fine! You got this because they have one awesome teacher! 

[lennonkdc]

lickwed, MH and I are off to Charleston, SC with my sis, her H and our parents. Its the first 'family' vacation we've taken in a long time, and first with our spouses. Some friends of my sisters have a beach house on Sullivans Island and letting us use it for the week. I need a week at the beach so bad right now!

[tiresiastheblond]

boobacat, I'm sorry. I hope this is your cycle and it's a non-issue.
meredithcarole, my aunt lived in Casper. Small world!
lickwed and momtex, I hope the school testing is as painless as possible. And good luck, of course.
luvmyponies, good luck with the IVF. It's a lot of mental gymnastics (keeping a positive attitude, but keeping your expectations limited, but....)
jess9802, happy TTCing!
lennonkdc, enjoy the vacation!
tat2mami,I didn't think the HSG was bad, for what it's worth. Good luck!

[lickwed]

momtex Speech pathologist rock! DD saw one from 9 months to 2 years.

wirt2cute You are so sweet. Thanks for that. Filled my bucket right up.

lennonkdc I envy you the beach. Have fun.

tiresiastheblond Thanks!
