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;)

I'm sorry octoberrustMonth/Cycle: 4/4 Timing: n/a CD/DPO: CD12 Symptoms: None this month - hopefully a good sign. Last month really threw me off when I bled mid month. I haven't had as many femara symptoms so far this month which is hopefully a good thing. I remember with my 2nd that the only real symptom I had was painful ovulation for part of one day and then nothing after that. RRCS: Does anyone else dread the week that you have to have TI? We will try to do 4-5 times during the next week and it's exhausting just thinking about it.

I'm sorry @octoberrust. sarahh YES. And due to DH's work schedule (he's usually out of town M-Th), we end up packing it all in with every day. Even the RE, after we told him DH's work schedule said, "You need to have relations as much as you can!" Yes. We know. It gets hard for me, after years of TTC, to muster up some excitement to DTD when you feel like it is futile anyways. Month/Cycle: started TTC winter 2016, break/benched summer 2017 through winter 2018. Off bench March 2018. Timing: -3,-2,-1,O,O+1 CD/DPO: 24/8DPO Symptoms: I'm so gassy and bloated from the Crinone. I started breaking out yesterday and I'm exceptionally tired. RRCS: I would really really really like this cycle to work. I think I'll be more disappointed than normal if it doesn't work out. I am also thinking maybe we take a break for a month or two before starting injectibles. This summer of clomid and crinone have been rough on me and it would be nice to have a month without extra hormones wreaking havoc on my body.

sarahh We haven't DTD at all since I got my bfp at the beginning of June. So much TI over the past couple of years has started to kill it for me. I'm hoping the break makes it a little more fun...at least for the first few cycles. I am sort of dreading it though and I'm not even on CD1 yet.

Month/Cycle: Will be 18...1st after our 2nd consecutive loss
Timing: NA
CD/DPO: I was hoping for CD1 today but I guess my cycle is still messed up. Hoping for CD1 soon.
Symptoms: NA
RRCS: I'm excited to start TFAS again. I'm hoping 3rd time will be the charm AND I'm hoping I'm not here all year again:/

So sorry octoberrust. FX'd for you sarahh, sharebear. Month/Cycle: 1/1 Timing: -5, -1 CD/DPO: 26/13DPO Symptoms: Tested yesterday. BFN. Waiting for CD1. RRCS: More disappointed than I thought given it's only our first month, and wishing we'd started trying earlier for #2, even though I know deep down we weren't ready. I *really* don't want to have a baby in the middle of summer, and DH is out of country for O this month, so we can't try again until October.

nerdalert I totally get the disappointment of a BFN on cycle 1. I think deep down we all have this hope that we'll be the lucky ones who get pregnant on the first try. I'm the same. I have this secret hope that because of our 2 losses that we'll get pregnant quickly this time around. I know I'll be disappointed when I see my first BFN:/

Month/Cycle: 21/21
Timing: WTO at this point
CD/DPO: CD15
Symptoms: None
RRCS: O is due today but it's been running a bit late the last couple of cycles. If it does wind up being today, we'll have hit O-2 so that'll be good timing! Also, brag alert: I weighed in this week and I'm down 16 lbs!

@octoberrust I'm sorry for CD1 sammysam I'm excited that you're back here and TTC again! Hoping your CD1 comes soon so you can get to trying! nerdalert It's okay to be disappointed about BFNs even on cycle 1. When you're ready, you're ready! sharebear I don't blame you for wanting a month off from the hormones. I really hope this winds up being your month! sarahh I know what you mean about dreading TI. Don't get me wrong, I love to DTD with my hubby, but "having" to do it takes some of the fun out of it (for me). I'm partially looking forward to being KTFU, we've been doing TI since a couple months before we were married and I'd like to just get back to being spontaneous and fun.

I’m just popping by to say that it’s transfer day!!
As of right now we have 3 embryos. We’re transferring 1, and it’s already hatching so looking great. #2 will be frozen, and they are letting #3 grow until tomorrow to see if it meets freeze requirements.
So stats were as follows: 12 follicles, 7 eggs, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 day 5 embryos and maybe 1 day 6 embryo.

octoberrust, I'm sorry. sarahh, good luck this month. sharebear, I'm hoping this is your month. When are you going to test? If this isn't it, I think you're wise to take a break from the hormones. sammysam, I'm so glad you're excited going into this. Praying hard for a quick bfp and a sticky baby! nerdalert, sympathy. I definitely understand the disappointment. radiantfate, good luck this month and congrats on the weight loss. charliefox, eek, I'm so excited for you! Hope everything goes as well as it can.

Month/Cycle: Month 31. Cycle 9 AL. Six losses in two years.
Timing: -7, -5, -3, -1, +1
CD/DPO: CD23. 8dpo.
Symptoms: Oh bloody hell. I don't usually swear so you know it's bad! Swollen, tender boobs, darkened areoli, cramps, nausea, exhaustion. Aversion to tap water, which is usually a dead giveaway for me. Blood sugars soaring, which is a very common symptom but of course most people aren't checking their blood sugar four times a day. I'm constantly starving.
RRCS: I miscounted and thought it was 8dpo yesterday when it was actually only seven. I had a bfn but it was so early that I'm not convinced, because of all these symptoms. Unfortunately one of the two tests in the packet was faulty, so I'll have to get some more tomorrow and resist testing till at least Friday, preferably Monday.

purple I'm an early tester because I like the long let down. So BFN this morning at 8DPO. I'm going to call the RE to see if I can just come in for a blood test on Friday vs waiting for next week because I'd rather discontinue the crinone sooner rather than later since it takes me several days to get my period after discontinuing progesterone supplementation. But it sounds like your symptoms are spot on! FX for some good tests this week!!

Today just keeps getting better! The clinic just called and they were able to freeze both of the other embryos! So we transferred one and have 2 on ice. Woot!!!

BFN today, 9dpo.
I need to stop and just wait for CD1. Either these symptoms are psychosomatic or I've got another horrible virus.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
Timing: -3, -2, -1
CD/DPO: 5 dpo
Symptoms: notta
RRCS: I got my wondfos in so I have reliable cheap things I can pee on. I'll test on Friday. I was hoping we would get a bfp soon. Gene therapy trial is accepting newborns right now but once they're full that's it. Each month that goes by is another month closer to the trial closing. Hopefully #3 doesn't have sma but even if gt is closed Spinraza is FDA approved.

purple I'd try to wait until Friday or Saturday and then test again. I got my last BFP at 10dpo but it was incredibly light. The one before was 13dpo and also barely visible. It is unlikely that you would get a positive result yet even if you are pregnant. Everything crossed for you!!!

honda How long does it typically take for the gene therapy trial to fill up? Would you have to be pregnant this month to get in do you think or is there a chance you still might make it in next month if this month isn't the one? I hope you get your BFP in the next few days and get into the trial now though.

Still waiting on CD1. Womp womp. I'm trying to find out if I need a new referral for the RE or if I can just book a new appointment (I cancelled my last one because I was pregnant). I guess I should just call and ask but I lost my voice on Monday and I'm worried they won't hear me:/

Alright so I booked an appointment with the RE. The earliest I could get in is November 15th...so I guess we have a couple of months to try on our own and then I'll see what they say. Thanks charliefox for your guidance and help. It has given me the push and confidence I needed to move forward with this process.

Okay, now that I'm back from the craziness that was yesterday I can catch up here! octoberrust, sorry for CD1. When does YH go back for another SA? sarahh, lol, yes - TTC is exhausting sharebear, the extra hormones are a bitch. I totally get wanting a break. Endometrin makes me really dizzy and tired. nerdalert, sorry YH is OOT, but hopefully you can make the best of your month off TTC. radiantfate, congrats on the weight loss! That's amazing! purple, sorry you're having all the symptoms. 9dpo is still really early. FX! honda, yay for wondfos - it's nice to not have to pee on money.
