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.

i’m on cycle 8 this month. timing is perfect. didn’t track O but have had a ton of sex. i’m probably 7dpo today. tested negative of course. i bought a box of 50 pregmate tests to satisfy my need to pee on things early. trying to save money. 😂 no plans for spring break. MH’s birthday is in a week so i have to figure something out for that.

Month/Cycle: 13/ cycle- no clue.
Timing: -4,-1,0, +1
CD/DPO: 21/3
Symptoms: nada
RRCS: finally caught O. Took an ovulation test CD 16 and it was very negative. The next day I got a positive! So glad I went ahead and tested the next day. We shall see what happens!
GTKY: What are you doing for spring break? We are supposed to go to the coast to visit my brother. But, I'm not going to lie, I'm a little worried about going now that the virus is in San Antonio. Especially because my mom is a type 1 diabetic and she is coming with us.

Month/Cycle: 2 (posted one last month even though I was on CD4 of cycle 2, because brain fart) anyways
Timing: no clue
CD/DPO: CD 31
Symptoms: my boobs hurt, and I’ve been cramping for 3 days but AF has yet to show her pretty little face, and tummy gurgles. Still BFN as of CD 29 though so I’m just patiently, so patiently waiting.
RRCS: I’m miserable, bitchy, and ready for this cycle to be over so I can just move along, but I’m finally over the 3 week cold I had so yippee!!!
GTKY: What are you doing for spring break? We will likely spend it at our family’s cabin with DS1 & 2.

Month/Cycle: 9
Timing: hopefully good!
CD/DPO: CD16
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I skipped OPK's and temping this month; I needed a break from it all. I think I O'D on CD13 based on CM, but I don't know for sure. If so, timing couldn't have been better. Now it's a waiting game until I test next week. I need to follow up with the new RE's office to get a new patient appointment set up, but I'm dragging my feet on that, too. I think I need to not think about all of this for a little while.

I am 2 days away from my embryo transfer. Bloodwork and lining were looking good last week. Started my (giant) progesterone shots on Friday. Thank goodness H is not squeamish with needles. No way I could do it to myself. Trying to stay calm!

I’m 7dpo on our first natural cycle after 3 medicated cycles. Because my body is so unpredictable my RE let me get my progesterone level today to confirm ovulation. It was 5, which indicates ovulation but is on the low side.
So I’m starting supplements tonight. I’m really glad, because I’ve been spotting the past four days and it felt not normal. The doctor said there is no “right” level in the luteal phase, just more than 3, but the progesterone might help.

One progesterone dose in and my spotting has stopped! Coincidence or not, I feel a lot more confident.
Now the question is when to test. I’m thinking Friday morning, just because I have a dermatologist appointment and might need to know. I’ll be 11 dpo.

Month/Cycle: HEYYYYY everyone. I am finally back in a mental space where I can go here now (again!). LOL. We are NOT TTC currently but now under the care of a RE. I had a lot of testing done last month and it turns out I have chronic endometritis (not to be confused with endometriosis!) and polyps on my uterine lining. Chronic endometritis is rarely caught without pregnancy loss, as there are no symptoms and a woman may never know she has it. It is basically an infection of the uterine lining, breeding a hostile environment for pregnancy. Chronic is different than an initial endometritis infection. They think I may have had this for years, since giving birth to DD, and never knew. My doc feels very strongly, that we are one of the lucky ones who got an answer for our repeat losses (two at 6 wks and one at 20+weeks). I am on a very, very heavy dose of antibiotics for 28 days leading up to surgery. After my next cycle starts in about a week, I start birth control and then 2-5 days after it ends, I will go in for polyp removal surgery and a retest for the endometritis. If it is gone, and after 28 days of a heavy antibiotic it damn well should be, and with the polyps removed, we have a very good prognosis for carrying a baby to term. Nothing is guaranteed, as we all know, but statistically my chances are higher than a "normal" pregnancy. Whatever that means - haha.
ETA: RE is hoping that after late march surgery we can TTC right after. So aiming for late April/early May timeframe if all goes well.
RRCS: These antibiotics are doing a number on my body. The only positive is my skin has NEVER been clearer! GTKY: What are you doing for spring break? We are going to the west coast of FL and rented a cabin at the springs. Bringing the bikes and kayaks. So excited.

Month/Cycle: 3/2AL
Timing: WTO in the next few days so we’re just hitting at least EOD
CD/DPO: CD16
Symptoms: None
RRCS: I can’t remember what this stands for. 😂 Rants, raves, complaints, s-? Anyway, I’m in a good place mentally right now. Last cycle was a bust after I was in line eye hell for a few days. I found a good deal to take a short trip to an indoor water park so doing that took my mind off of TTC and this cycle/wait so far has been easier on me than last. I’m hoping 3rd cycle is the charm for us but we’ll see. Looking at a late November/Thanksgiving EDD if we’re successful which is fun, I guess.
GTKY: What are you doing for spring break? No plans!

I should test Saturday at 8DPO before we leave on our trip, right?
It will definitely be negative, but peeing on all the things is what I love to do. 😂

Currently on CD 33... I’ve never had a cycle this long and I’m not impressed with it at all. At least the cramping has stopped and boobs are less sore.

i’m CD25 right now. of course i got BFNs but i can’t help but be disappointed. last month i didn’t get a positive until CD27 but i also had a lot more symptoms. right now my boobs hurt, but they always hurt before AF too. zero CM whatsoever so i have convinced myself i’m out this cycle.

Good luck polson! I caved and tried to test this morning. I guess I didn’t dip the test in urine long enough, because it didn’t move up the strip. And I dumped the pee before I noticed. Guess I’ll try again tomorrow.

I think I'm 6DPO- not entirely sure. I tested this morning anyways, though. I know it was a waste of a test, but I couldn't stop myself. I shouldn't have bought cheap tests in bulk! I'm going to drive myself crazy lol.
