Happy February everyone!
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.

Month/Cycle: 13/10,11? I cant remember.
Timing: who knows because I missed O this cycle!
CD/DPO: I think I'm about a week before my period. CD 26
Symptoms: sore boobs which is normal about a week before AF
RRCS: If you can't tell, I'm pretty bitter that I didn't start testing for O sooner.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? No. My mom will be in the hospital, recovering from surgery. My teenage brother will be hanging with us.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
Timing: WTO
CD/DPO: CD 8

Month/Cycle: 3rd medicated/monitored cycle
Timing: excellent bc monitored
CD/DPO: 10dpo
Symptoms: Very minor cramping and slightly sore boobs. Nothing special.
RRCS: Negative test this morning. I’ll test every morning until Friday. If nothing, stop meds and wait for period. I’m hoping I get something before Thurs, because DD and I leave for Disney with my parents. I really don’t want to take tests with me and have to hide them. I don’t want them to know.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? Nope. H usually gets me some chocolate from a local place. Valentine’s Day is usually so crowded at restaurants, so we will go out some other weekend.

Month/Cycle: 9, 5AL
Timing: good
CD/DPO: 18/2 I think
Symptoms: none
RRCS: if this isn't our month, we might take a ttc break for a month our 2. I need a break for my mental health.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? I have that day off, so I'm mostly excited for a day to myself at home. We might go out for dinner, but nothing fancy.

Month/Cycle: Cycle 2; 1AL
Timing: I think I ovulated today based on my OPK’s and if that’s the case, timing was good.
CD/DPO: CD17
Symptoms: None
RRCS: I....don’t know what this acronym means (has it really been so long?) and based on other replies, I can’t figure it out! 🤷🏻♀️
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? None so far. We’re not huge on celebrating. Probably will be testing because my guess is that 2/14 will be 11dpo

Month/Cycle: 8/7
Timing: n/a
CD/DPO: CD46, no idea what's happening right now
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I'm mad at my body right now. No positive OPK last month yet signs point to ovulation. No period and no positive test. I think I'm ready for a mental health break.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? Nope. We'll probably order pizza and watch a movie.

Edited because I wanted to intro myself more, since I decided to just jump in after 4 years of being MIA lol I was on TCF... rejoined here, but never became really active. I have two DS 4 & 7 from marriage #1. Remarried in September. I’m currently a SAHM, but I work incredibly part time (think 1-2 days a month) at a pharmacy and I’m about to graduate with my BS in psychology. We decided to removed my IUD last month and TTC (well at first we were going to NTNP, but that quickly went out the window). I forgot how much of a mindfuck TTC is. Lol but, I never thought I’d be back on this board... how exciting!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
Timing: wto
CD/DPO: CD4
Symptoms: just cramping
RRCS: someone hit my car yesterday and drove off
GTKY: Not yet, but we might make some...

I'm not sure what my body is gonna do. Tmi under cut I'm having like clearish watery but tinted yellow CM?? OPKs are very low. So I'm not sure what any of that means.

marigold I'm sorry your body isn't cooperating. I've been there and it's so frustrating. welcome onyx! beenthere you're only at CD 10 right? I would give it a few more days for your body to figure it out. As for me, negative test today at 11dpo. I'm really hoping I get something tomorrow. With DD, I got a light positive at 7 days after 5 day transfer (so equivalent of 12dpo). With DS, I got a very dark positive at 8dp5dt, but my betas were sky high because we think the other embryo implanted (we transferred two), but didn't stick. Basically I'm over analyzing everything. I just really want this cycle to work. Two follicles plus great lining had me feeling great. Now I'm starting to get nervous.

Hi again! Still waiting on BCP for the go ahead to start my FET cycle medication. My embryo is on a plane right now on it's way to my clinic (we moved since doing our IVF cycle). My stomach is in knots. I am so anxious to get this started.

Month/Cycle: 5th with RE
Timing: shit
CD/DPO: 14/due to O tomorrow
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I had some amazing follicles on Friday, took my trigger last night, and head in for my IUI tomorrow. We were supposed to BD this past weekend but DH had major performance anxiety and we weren’t able to at all. I’m hoping he will be able to at the RE tomorrow for the IUI. If not, I’m going to see about having a vial of his frozen sperm there for next time just in case. I’ve been so frustrated and trying to hide it, but I’ve been crying most of the weekend. The gonal f makes me ridiculously emotional so that definitely didn’t help things.
GTKY: Any Valentine's plans? We may watch a movie at home but that’s it.

Okay so my OPKs went super low again which means I'm probably pretty far off from ovulation (5+ days more than likely) and I'm a little bummed.

Just got a call from my nurse, I will be able to start my meds on 2/14 and my transfer is scheduled for 3/4. Hope it's ok if I hang out here anyway.

I scheduled an appointment with an RE for 2/24 so I’m hoping they’ll have some ideas for my next cycle, which should start at the end of the month if I follow the same trend as my last MC.

i can’t quit you guys yet. today is hard. i go back to the lab tomorrow for repeat betas to make sure everything is doubling but my doctor doesn’t even think i’m pregnant. she says it’s likely left over HCG from the miscarriage last month. but at the ER last month during the loss my HCG was 3.7. and this monday it was 16. i just want her to open my file or something. anything. all the convincing i was doing was just making her think i was fucking nuts and she was trying to reassure me that we can try next cycle. 🤬

katespade I hope the RE has some great insight for you. @zweber I’m really sorry. I had a negative test yesterday and haven’t tested since bc I’m at Disney. So I’m having some drinks, I’ll test tomorrow and I assume it will be negative, then stop progesterone and wait for AF.

robotsvswrestlers, so sorry!! For whatever reason I'm testing on OPKs like crazy, I can't stop. I don't even usually O until CD16

my HCG was 16 monday and it’s only 19 today. my doctor said to expect bleeding over the weekend. but she’s “stumped” and she didn’t know what to say to me.

So sorry @zweber I hope you get some type of answer and closure.
I took a test for shits and giggles. Of course negative.
I also have a coworker that revealed that she is pregnant. I'm trying to be happy for her. That said, she knows I have been really struggling with the fact that we have been TTC for 13 months now and she keeps mentioning being pregnant in every conversation we have. I'm not sure if its malicious or if she is just excited (she is... not a nice person. I don't want to go into details of why she is not nice but think Regina George from mean girls. People at work have quit because of her shenanigans.) I am happy for her because I would never wish TTC struggles on anybody. But I do not need to hear about her symptoms in every single conversation we have.

ironcorgi there is a pregnant mom at DDs school who knows that I also would have been due this month with my ectopic and cannot help herself with the belly rubbing and constant FB posts about her pregnancy. It’s hard even when they do mean well. I’m sorry And I’m sorry @zweber

@zweber I’m so sorry. <hugs> ironcorgi someone in my local group of friends mentioned her pregnancy during every single conversation we all had. They all knew of my fertility struggles, so I just tried to keep my distance.

HCG is 20 today. looks like it’s gonna take forever for my body to realize it’s not pregnant. i’m trying very hard not to go into a very dark place. especially since this is the second loss of 2020 and it’s only feb.

I’m so sorry. I took a test on Thursday to see if it would be negative and I still have a faint line. I don’t go for another beta until next Friday so I feel you on it taking forever to go down to 0.
