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;)

Month/cycle: 8/8 Timing: -4, -2,-1,O, +1 Cd/dpo: 24/8 dpo Symptoms: none. I feel the same way I do every cycle. RRCS: I was feeling hopeful for this cycle but now I'm mostly scared this didn't work and not sure what our next step will be. Also I got a BFN today at 8 dpo and even though I know it really doesn't mean anything it' was hard to see.

sarahh, Yes it is so hard not knowing when you ovulated! Every time that has happened to me I've felt so confused the whole cycle. Af least your timing is great!

sarahh, there were cycles where I told myself I'd be chill and not really chart and then the TWW hit and I was kicking myself! I hate not knowing all the info. Hopefully you get an answer soon. sunny75, FX! I'm so hopeful for you! Month/Cycle: 24/7AL Timing: IVF CD/DPO: stim day 3 Symptoms: After all this fertility stuff I've discovered that I'm pretty sensitive to hormones. Headaches, nausea, dizziness. Blech. RRCS: I was under the impression that out insurance covered PGS testing but turns out it's only PGD (which makes no sense - it's much more expensive and less common). So now we have to decide if we still want to do it. H really wants to do the screening and I'm less convinced. In better news, H comes home on Friday and I am so ready to have my co-parent back (he will have been gone 3 weeks)!

Month/cycle: started TTC winter 2016, break/benched summer 2017 through winter 2018. Off bench 5 ish months.
Timing: TBD. CD 9 so far.
CD/DPO: CD10
Symptoms: The usual Clomid ones. Hot flashes and mood swings and some tummy troubles.
RRCS: had my injectables consult today. It was information overload. It also made me feel like this cycle is already a waste because they have the requisition for the drugs for my insurance co’s mail order pharmacy completed already. And the NP I saw essentially said that it is rare for clomid to work and result in a pregnancy if 3 cycles didn’t do the trick (this is the 4th clomid cycle). Also got scared s&@$less about hyper stimulation, turning my “walnut sized ovaries into grapefruits”, and having to cancel a cycle to avoid higher order multiples. Hopefully this cycle will just work. Monitoring US and labs on Friday. I would be super stoked if I looked good to get a trigger shot in office and call it a day.

Month/Cycle:2/2
Timing:-3 O
CD/DPO:29/ 12DPO
Symptoms: none
RRCS: BFN yesterday and today, waiting for AF due Wednesday. A little bummed. DH missed promotion points by only 4. I said "well, you didn't get promoted this month, and I didn't get pregnant" we just moped for a minute how it's coincided both last month and this month.

Well after all that. Mh and I had a frank conversation and we can't afford to sustain our lifestyle with two in daycare. TTC #2 is now on hold indefinitely. I think it's probably wise given my head space, anyway. Thank you for your welcome and support and I wish you all the best!

New to HIH. Been lurking and reading, but now that we're getting down to it, hi all! I posted on TCF until my BMB moved to the Book of Faces. I have one rambunctious 016 boy, and having a community like this was my saving grace last time around. We've been talking about #2 for what feels like forever (bio or adopt?!) and then we decided bio, then put it off because spring was a horror train life wise, and now we're officially here, TTC. My mind does not retain details as well as it use to, so I'm gonna to my best to start recognizing people. What other threads do ya'll recommend reading around here?
Month/Cycle: 1/1
Timing: -5, -1
CD/DPO: 14/ovulation any day now, expecting tomorrow (8/28)
Symptoms: None.
RRCS: Apprehensive because my pregnancy last time was not easy. Excited to be trying, trying not to chicken out...

Hi guys. I'm still lurking. I'm OOT until Thursday at least. Maybe Saturday if I can handle driving home in holiday weekend traffic. Work starts back on Tuesday. I had a dream last night that I was pregnant again and I woke up feeling like *maybe* I could give this one more go. I'll be cleared to start trying next week. If SO stops being such a huge dick then maybe I'll try one last time. Sadly the chances of his dickiness being cured any time soon is slim to none. But I'm still lurking and cheering you guys on:)

notblanche, sorry to hear your news, even though it sounds sensible for your family. Good luck with everything! beenthere, so much sympathy for the bfn, and that you'll be missing out on the next couple of months. That can feel like a lifetime when you're ttc. nerdalert, welcome! I hope your stay here is short. I mostly lurk, and I was going to suggest Geek Culture but you've already found it :-) sarahh, sympathy for the frustration. I hope you don't have too long to wait either way. sunny75, always sympathy for a bfn, even when it's too early for a positive. Will you test again or just wait? charliefox, those symptoms sound rough, I'm sorry. At least your H will be home in two more days. The testing situation sounds frustrating too. sharebear, oh gosh, that sounds so frustrating. I really hope this month works! peggyhill, good luck if the new job goes ahead! honda, I try to be calm but like you, really there is no calmness, just more or less anxiety. Hoping so hard for you this month! sammysam, always good to see you. I really hope your SO pulls himself together, whether or not you decide to try again.

Month/Cycle: Month 31. Cycle 9AL. 6 losses in two years.
Timing: Started eod on CD8.
CD/DPO: CD10.
RRCS: Last week was rough. Bad depression day on cd1, severe headache on day 2, debilitating cramps on day 3, more headaches on 4 and 5, diabetic hypos on days 6 and 7. I am so fed up of feeling rotten and not even being pregnant!
I talked to H last week and decided that I'll see my GP about a referral for infertility if I'm not pregnant by the New Year. My last chemical pregnancy was in January this year. You can ask for a referral after six months of trying if you're 35 or over and I'm 41, but I've had so much illness this year that pregnancy certainly wasn't realistic before June. Depression and PTSD aren't going anywhere, but at the moment I'm having more good days than bad. And those two awful viruses in January and April left me with some post viral fatigue, which finally seems to be passing.
I feel genuinely hopeful this month, which hasn't been the case for a long time.

Welcome nerdalert! I am mostly here and on my BMB, but a lot of people seem to like the celebrity blinds and the general randoms. notblanche I'm glad you and yh were able to have this discussion, even if the outcome means moving on. Good luck with everything!! beenthere nooooooooo! DH works out of town 4-5 days/week and figuring out timing with FW and travel is the worst. At this point, he may be flying or taking trains home multiple times a week just to get it all in. Not fun. I hope things change so you can get some BDing in during a FW. honda +1 to having no chill. I have no chill whatsoever. I'm pretty much boiling. That's how little chill I have. purple I'm hopeful for you too!!! FX!

Unless I ovulate super early we will have no chance this coming up cycle. AF is due today. not feeling like it. If it doesn't come by Friday I'll try a different brand test, but I think I'm just putting my hopes too much in my tests being faulty lol

Month/Cycle: 21 Timing: none yet CD/DPO: CD 2 Symptoms: Just the usual AF cramps and tiredness. RRCS: CD2 today. I knew that was going to happen because we had awful timing last month. Also, I came down with a terrible cold yesterday so I have AF cramps, sore throat, coughing and sneezing all at once, and I slept like shit so I'm at work and exhausted. DD and DH are also sick (DD brought it home from school...thanks kid).

sunny75, I'm right there with you and either at the same dpo or a day before you. It's killing me not to test but it would likely be a waste as it has the past few months.

sarahh, have you been having any possible early pregnancy signs? I've been having some boob soreness since yesterday and that hasn't really been the norm for me lately so that's the only thing that's giving me hope. All my other symptoms are normal pre AF.

sunny75, just cramping but that can go either way for me. And I've had a headache for the past few days. I have been convinced I'm out for the past few days but now I'm not sure but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

purple, I apologize if you've talked about this and I just don't remember but have you had any repeat loss testing? Or other fertility testing? Definitely ask for a referral, hopefully a RE can give you some answers and hope.
