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: 4 AL
Timing: not that great since I ovulated way earlier this month. I think -1, O, +1 or O, +1.
CD/DPO: 15/3 or 4?
Symptoms: n/a
RRCS: I bought a tempdrop for this month because last month my cycle was 4 days longer than normal (usually I'm always regular). I figured it was my body adjusting from the tube removal. But then this month I ovulated super early like normal. I've never tempted previously - but premom app with OPK pics and temps are saying day 12 ovulation and FF is saying day 11. 🤷♀️ not sure which to believe - hoping it was day 12 because then I would have had better timing.
GTKY: Any valentine's plans? We usually cook steak at home. So I'm sure we will do the same.

Month/Cycle: 21
Timing: IUI #4 tomorrow
CD/DPO: cd 11
Symptoms:
RRCS: I have 2 big follicles on the left (tube we know is open) And DH abstained a little longer this month, so hopefully his count will be higher. They want me to go ahead and schedule another consult in case this month fails, so we can see what our options are going forward.
GTKY: Any valentine's plans? No idea, I don't want to go out to a restaurant, so probably getting take out somewhere.

Month/Cycle: 1st IVF cycle, been trying for 1 year for me, prior to that 2 years for MW
CD/DPO: For me, this is days past transfer. We transferred 2 day 3 embryos last saturday. So today, Monday, is 9dpt.
Symptoms: Well, boobs are a little sore, I've been having vivid dreams, a little tight/crampy in my stomach. But, I am attributing none of this to symptoms because I am also on progesterone, which could be the culprit for those things. Also, if I'm about to get my period, that could also be the culprit. The only thing is the vivid dreams - I had them a lot when I was pregnant with my DD, but I also tend to have vivid dreams when I eat later (I had 2 vivid dreams in the past week, 1 of them I definitely ate later, the other I did not). So at this point, I am really focusing on not paying attention to symptoms. I can't be on the emotional up & down seesaw.
RRCS: (I actually can't figure out what RRCS stands for) I go on Wednesday morning for my pregnancy blood test. I *think* I am going to test at home tomorrow. MW wants to test at home so that the doctor isn't the one to tell us if we are KU or not. So I think tomorrow I will test at 10dpt.
GTKY: Any valentine's plans? Well I just took a PTO day for this Friday & next Monday. I am at the max PTO and need to use 2 days/month or I lose them, so I figured why not for a super long weekend coming up. Not like we are doing anything super special. I think we might make some chocolate covered pretzels with DD. For actual Valentine's Day celebration, we usually get a nice filet mignon for dinner, so probably something along those lines.

Month/Cycle: 3 AL
CD/DPO: CD 16/2 DPO
Symptoms: n/a
RRCS: we have an appointment with a new fertility clinic at the beginning of March. They have ordered a lot of tests that we are having trouble getting done and because the clinic is out of province, everything needs to be rewritten from our family doctor. I think I might push out our appointment so all the results can be back before we meet. It’s frustrating.
GTKY: Any valentine's plans? Nothing major here. Maybe make breakfast and order in take out.

I went for my pregnancy bloodwork test today - pregnant!! My hcg level is 210. Today is 11 days after the transfer of a 3 day embryo. So.....now I begin going every other day for beta bloodwork. We shall see how much it rises. Can I use the hcg levels to guess at if 1 or both of the embryos implanted? Obviously we will see that in a couple of weeks, but wasn't sure if the hcg levels might also give us a clue.

allthekristys congratulations!!! I am a dedicated beta base stalker. www.betabase.info/Later beta numbers will tell you more, but my gut says singleton. That number is in line with what I’ve seen personally.

Update:
2nd beta bloodwork was today and the levels came back at 526 (which is fantastic since my hcg was 210 2 days ago).
I go back Monday for a 3rd beta draw and then Thursday for an ultrasound!

Month/Cycle: 1AL
Timing:-2,-1,O
CD/DPO: 1dpo
Symptoms: Nope
RRCS:So I lost our last pregnancy on New Year's Eve...so that was fun. I wasn't sure I wanted to try again, but then decided I wasn't done...so O was on Valentine's day and we'll know by my birthday if this cycle worked out. I mean, how could I pass that timing up???
GTKY: Any valentine's plans? We had a huge snow storm and we're expecting another so Valentine's day was all about playing I'm the snow:)
How is everyone else doing?

sammysam so sorry for your loss. I can totally relate to the feeling of feeling done during a loss but then changing your mind. I hope it works out for you this cycle! BFN on 13dpo. Just waiting for AF.

I’m so sorry for your loss sammysam. ❤️ And I am sorry for your bfn catlady22. I had al my blood work done (16 vials, which seems excessive, but test away!) and I have to call my OB’s office tomorrow to see if she will do a hysteroscopy.

Carmichael that is a lot of vials! Wow. Is your OB just doing the AL testing not a fertility specialist? I have been wondering when you start to think about seeing the OB for that kind of thing.

Carmichael that is a lot of vials! Wow. Is your OB just doing the AL testing not a fertility specialist? I have been wondering when you start to think about seeing the OB for that kind of thing. The fertility clinic we are having our consult with is in another province, so the lab won’t accept their blood test rec, so our GP ordered them for us. She can’t do the hysteroscopy, but my OB can, the question is will she. And yes, the fertility clinic has ordered the blood work for repeat loss (3 in 2020). So far all the tests I have seen come back are normal. The OB who did my last D&C was going to order the blood work for RPL, but then just referred me off to a fertility clinic (who we still haven’t heard from). To me, I’d say if you are wondering, it never hurts to call and ask.
