This is a combined TTC thread for EVERYONE currently TTC. Whether you're a first timer, a many timer, or an old timer come on in and pass the time as we struggle through WTO and the dreaded TWW.
As this is a combined thread there will be talk of LC, losses, and IF struggles. If any of these are hard for you please just let us know in your first post and I'm sure the lovely ladies on here will be happy to add TWs to accommodate.
Feel free to add a little intro to help us get to know you better;)
Please come join us!

Month/Cycle: 1AL
Timing: -4, -2
CD/DPO: CD28, 13DPO
Symptoms: None, pregnancy or AF wise.
RRCS: Had the BFN on Friday. I know I could still be in the game, but I think I'm gonna just wait for AF this week before I test again. My cycles are pretty regular normally (would normally expect AF today or tomorrow), but this is first cycle after loss, despite typical O-timing, so who knows. Blech.

nerdalert I'm right there with you in terms of not knowing what to expect this cycle. I feel like seeing a bnf the first cycle back after a loss is harder than waiting for AF to show. Really hoping you get good news this week;)

Month/Cycle: 1AL
Timing: -4,-2,-1,O (-2 felt like it was a good day)
CD/DPO: CD19/6DPO
Symptoms: super nauseous, super nose smelling abilities, and super achy back (but this is from working out). I also feel like I might be getting the stomach flu so that would explain it:/
RRCS: I'm feeling hopeful...but I had my hopes so high my first cycle AL last year and then I was crushed. So. Trying not to think too much about it. Focusing on the RE appointment coming up next month and how we want to proceed.
The spotting I had is totally gone. And of course I've been all over the Internet reading about spotting at 3&4 dpo that ended in a bfp. And my bbs are not sore. The are always sore by 1 or 2 dpo except for my first 2 pregnancies. So this has me hopeful to.
I probably won't test until next week but I'm guessing AF will show Friday or Saturday. I promised myself I'm not going to buy anymore tests until the ones I have are gone...and they're all digital. So.
I'm not expecting this to be the month. But I'm still hoping it might be.

Month/Cycle: bajillion...err 26
Timing: FET
CD/DPO: CD -1? lol
Symptoms: n/a
RRCS: Baseline ultrasound/blood work this morning, everything came back normal so I start estrogen tomorrow. 2 weeks of estrogen and then I add progesterone in oil (PIO - the GIANT shots in the butt). I haven't really been around much because not much has been going on with me TTC-wise. All this takes forever and I'm just bored and wanting to be actually doing something.

charliefox I'm so glad you're moving forward again. Only a few weeks left until transfer if I'm not mistaken. I'm getting excited for you! I'm glad the ultrasound and bloodwork were all good. I hope the next few weeks fly by and that you are uneventfully pregnant by the time I have my RE appt;)

Ah poop. Sorry nerdalert . CD1 always sucks. I always have to remind myself that each cycle that doesn't work is still one cycle closer to the one that will.

I always like comparing my chart to the first pregnancy one that comes up on FF under "charts like mine". So here is this cycle's. I know it doesn't mean anything at all as I often get ones that are super similar on my non successful cycles...but this one was so close on the temps after O that I need to share;)

Hi everyone. Sorry that I've been MIA for a couple of weeks. We were on holiday last week so I had a legitimate excuse. Other than that I've been going backwards and forwards about feeling good that H and I have agreed that there will be an end point to TTC even if we are not successful, and feeling like a terrible mother, wife and person for even considering it. My brain is a confusing place at the moment. nerdalert, so sorry for CD1. My least favourite day every month. I love sammysam's comment that every month is one month closer to success. charliefox, glad that things are progressing. I'm praying so hard for a successful transfer this time! sammysam, I'm hoping that this is your month, but it's great that you have an appointment in November so there will definitely be some sort of progress soon.

Month/Cycle: Month 33. Cycle 11 AL. Six consecutive losses.
Timing: N/a
CD/DPO: CD5
Symptoms: Just AF symptoms. I nearly fainted last night and freaked H out. Fingers crossed it was a one off.
RRCS: Last month I O'd two days earlier than I expected, on CD13, which threw all our timing out, and then we didn't dtd on O day either. So I was feeling pretty grumpy, even though it wasn't anyone's fault, just one of those things . This month I think we just need to try and stick to EOD, starting asap and keeping going till at least O+1 or 2.

purple I'm so glad to see you back but so sorry you're not feeling great about your decision to call it quits at some point. Just remember it's not set in stone. But never feel bad about making a choice for the best interests of you and your family. There is no right way to proceed and no right size for a family. Whatever decision you make is the right decision. The fainting is a little scary. Were you just standing up when it happened? I have abnormally low BP and black out if I stand up too quickly so I know how scary it can be. I have landed in hospital from injuries I got from passing put because of it...if it continues I would suggest getting checked out. And EOD is a great idea! I usually O around CD 13. My successful cycle last May was EOD (we usually start CD9 and go EOD until +OPK and then we try for more if we can manage) I was stressed out that our timing wasn't good enough because I'm so used to doing every day for 3 days around O but it worked out. FX you are able to get out of here soon.

Month/Cycle: 1AL
Timing: -3 and -1 I think
CD/DPO: CD 20. I am not sure when I O'ed or if I did at all so timing is a crap shoot.
Symptoms: None
RRCS: Nothing much to report. I'm trying to be okay with not having another baby but I go back and forth.

sarahh I was the same with going back and forth. I thought I was totally fine not having a second until about a month ago. I know I'll be ok no matter what. We're lucky to have our DD. But I know for sure now I want to try everything we can first.

Is anyone else close to testing time yet? I'm 9dpo tomorrow. I'm trying to hold off until 12 if AF doesn't show by then but I'm not sure I'll make it that long. I caved and bought a bunch of hpts today. I'm feeling the need to start peeing on things soon...

Not to be that person who gets a bfp at 9dpo their first cycle back after a loss...but I totally am:) It's not even a squinter. The line is light (obviously) but unmistakably there.
I'm just hoping it stays. And that this is the sticky bean that grows and comes home with us in June.
I am going to keep testing and hope the line keeps darkening...but I'm going to intro on the BMBs now and enjoy them while I can in case I end up back here:/
I love you guys❤

So excited for you, sammysam! Congratulations! Heehee thanks so much. I keep lurking your board to see how you're doing (probably knew that already with my LTs everywhere;). I'm hoping this works out and that I won't be all that far behind you!
