Month/cycle: 5/6 Timing: -1,-3 Cd/dpo: 2 DPO Symptoms: None yet but I'm sure I'll start imagining a few in the next week lol RRCS: I know I'm being irrational but I am so disappointed we didn't get one more day in for our timing. I just wanted to give our medicated cycle the best chance and we only ended up hitting two days which is what we usually get. I'm trying not to be too irritated with MH but it's so frustrating. We are so close this cycle! I hope the meds are the thing that gets you out of here. And that timing is good! I hope so too! I'll try not to pressure you into to testing too early since I know you're wanting to wait to test lol. And as always I'm jealous of your timing!

sunny75 I'm going to wait until the 9th to test. Unless AF shows first. But I will live vicariously through your early testing. And if you get a bfp I will test the next day;)

People who haven't been through it just don't get it. It's hard to be happy for someone while still being so envious. I'm impressed you made it through the whole playdate. It must have taken a lot out of you.

Because I was 13 weeks my loss date anniversary isn't until the end of September and luckily my EDD is already behind me. I'm feeling it all more than I thought I would this time of year.

Because I was 13 weeks my loss date anniversary isn't until the end of September and luckily my EDD is already behind me. I'm feeling it all more than I thought I would this time of year. I don't think that's crazy. I fell to pieces in February, which is the month we conceived Gracie Wren, because that meant we'd been TFAS for longer than we tried for L. I fell apart in March at the anniversary of my bfp for Gracie. I fell apart completely and very messily earlier this month, because the two year anniversary of finding we'd lost Gracie was also the one year anniversary of my surprise bfp for the twins, and my near death anniversary was four days later. And L was ill that week. Anniversaries are hard. Because we were moving house last year and we had a month between houses, none of it really hit me till this year. It doesn't surprise me at all that approaching the anniversary of your bfp is hard. Because that was such a joyful time, but a bfp will never be purely happy again. And you've been through so much since then. Looking death in the face on your own account is another complicating factor. Loss is always life changing, and so is nearly dying, and when they're inextricably linked, nothing is ever quite the same. ETA: writing it down like that... I've fallen apart a lot this year. And that's apart from my physical health not being great. I hope the second half of the year is better!

If I can help others feel less alone, then some good is coming out of my grief, and that's worth more than I can say. I've been considering starting a blog about baby loss and grief but I don't know where to start!

Month/Cycle: 7/6
Timing: NA
CD/DPO: CD7
Symptoms: NA
RRCS: I had a major meltdown this weekend. We were hosting my extended family at our house for Memorial Day, and my Aunt opened her big mouth and told me that we really needed to get my DD a dog if we weren't going to give her a sibling. I couldn't just let it roll and went off about how hard we've been trying for MONTHS and how it was so hard to sit back and listen to people talk about it like that. So lots of crying all around because I hadn't told anyone IRL that we were TTC. And I think I shamed my Aunt into not just speaking every thought that comes into her mind.
THis month is going to be difficult just because in my fertile window we will be sharing a cottage, and bedroom with DD and our ILs. So I don't know how to feel about that.

remi sorry for your Aunt. I don't get how people think they can say anything about getting pregnant. I had a lot of people ask (mostly older family members) when we were going through our losses and I really had a hard time biting my tongue. Month/Cycle: Starting Femara after next cycle (mid June!) Timing: I think 0 and 1+ CD/DPO: CD16/? I haven't been using OPKs yet but had a lot of discharge this weekend so I'm thinking I O'd sometime this weekend. Symptoms: Does anyone get nauseous when they ovulate? I never have but have been nauseous for the past 4-5 days. RRCS: I'm getting excited to get back on Femara. I just hope I'm not getting my hopes up and it doesn't work this time.

I've been in limbo the past few days. I got a few positive tests starting this past Thursday (12 dpo) they got darker for a couple of days and then started fading out... I had a huge temp drop and started spotting today. Just waiting for things to get rolling.
This is my 2nd chemical this year and I'm hurting.

Welcome quinstar ! Hugs purple Yogurt . I'm sorry remi . (ETA I meant loorin, but Remi do you need hugs too?) Month/Cycle:3/3ish (1+year trying followed by almost 1 year benched) Timing:-1,O CD/DPO: 31/9 or 10 Symptoms: Irritable AF, cramps for days and days, tender breasts. Hungry. RRCS: I keep temping even though there is no pattern. Fertility friend keeps telling me that my temps show no pattern, so i keep discarding temps or switching back to using the OPK as a O point. Super annoying. I'm just generally a rage monster right now so should probably stay off the internet. I also still need to decide soon-ish if we want to do a clomid cycle this month or not.

sarahh I get super nauseous around O. It's the hormone fluctuations that do me in. I have found I have become more sensitive to them as time has gone on. Also, sounds like you O'd on the weekend. Me too! Yay to cycle buddies:)

sharebear it's the worst when FF doesn't know what to make of you. Is clomid less stressful in any way because it makes O/the fertile window clearer?

I paid for a year of VIP FF yesterday. I'm telling myself that's got to do the trick for this cycle being The One, right? 😝 shockingly, the paid version has no more idea what to make of my body than the free one. It looks like we're set to be in the "green light" zone for the next 2 weeks at least. Buckle up, DH!
