If you have any changes to this list, wish to be removed, added, or have graduated (yay!), please shoot me a PM.

FYI: We don't want to exclude some ladies, but this is a check in for ladies who are unfortunately having trouble trying to conceive (TTTC=3T). If you've been trying for more than a year and/or have been diagnosed with any form of infertility OR are now pursuing adoption or have decided to remain childless following a 3T journey, you are welcome to join us.

Updates: Ok ladies... where are we at this week? Testing, Procedures, Appointments, Adoption updates, Life updates? What’s going on, etc. Let's hear all about it!

QOTW: In honor of the upcoming (soon pleeeeease) season of spring, what is your favorite flower?

amandaf6383 · February 2014

Still not pregnant. Surprise.

FFC: I haven't shaved me legs in farrrr too long.

QOTW: Lilacs. Always, always. The sweet smell literally is intoxicating and it makes me nostalgic every time I smell it.

Hope everyone is doing well!!

LooneyLife · February 2014

Hopefully starting FET protocol in about 2 weeks. FET still planned for early April.

QOTW: Chrysanthemums, but they're not a spring flower.

FFC: My sister asked for opinions on 4 potential baby names for her soon to be born daughter. One of them was too close sounding to our future potential name. But I didn't tell her that because I didn't want to play the sad IF card. Instead DH and I came up with an unfavorable nickname and made her not want the name anymore.

rccola1981 · February 2014

Update: after a lengthy call to my insurance company I start hcg injections after o this cycle. QOTW: I love daffodils and yellow roses.

poppies717 · February 2014

Update: DH and I made it to the hotel by the clinic. We live over an hour away, and with this storm, we didn't want to chance anything. 9:45 tomorrow!!!!!!

Random: the King of Queens episode that's on is when they get fertility testing. Signs?

QOTW: Calla lillies!

RockABye · February 2014

Update: nothing really. AF left and I'm going to start temping again sometime next week. Otherwise, life is stressfull and overwhelming at the moment. I'll survive though

QOTW: I love hydrageas. Oo and paperwhites. And daisies. AND daffodils. I just love flowers!

I'm watching KoQ too. I feel like this episode is on all of the time. And every time I watch it I'm mentally pointing out everything that's wrong with it, haha

nfp147 · February 2014

No updates here!

QOTW: I love tulips and roses.

Hugs to all of you. Crossing my fingers so hard for you poppies and ILRV!

mrshall1027 · February 2014

Still enjoying our break. I started the PCOS diet and so far I'm holding strong. I really want to give it a solid try and see if it changes anything. Plus is that I'll lose this extra weight I've been "trying" to lose for the last two years.

QOTW: Calla lilies!! But, really I love all flowers.

AW: I forgot to update earlier, but my pup finally got his cast removed two weeks ago and he's all healed up!! He's back to his old self and driving us crazy again.

LuckyAngel07 · February 2014

Love and hugs to all the ladies!

Plus extra FX and juju for poppies and ILRV!!

islandmonkey8 · February 2014

Update: nothing since yesterday. Still cancelled. Waiting to O and get this friggin cycle over with.

QOTW: gerbera daisies and hydrangeas

So hopeful for you @poppies717 and @iloveredvino!

((Hugs)), love and luck to all you wonderful ladies!

sweetpotato123 · February 2014

Sending tons of good vibes and luck to poppies and ILRV!!

I got the all clear Monday, started femara same day and as long as I can get out of DC tomorrow, will be starting injects for what I presume to be the 5th and final iui.

Qotd- stargazer lillies.

ILoveRedVino · February 2014

Tulips are my favorite spring flower but I better get some red roses tomorrow.

FFC- I just bought Valentine's chocolate to hide from H and enjoy myself.

You all know what's going on with me. Thank you, as always, for the love and support.

Aimothy · February 2014

So. I've been working with a new trainer. Started in NOvember and did a fitness assessment. Today was our third one and I've lost 18.5 inches!!!!!!!!! I'm down 9 lbs. And feeling SO proud of how far I've come. I could only plank 30 seconds the first time and I made it 1:38 today.

QOTW: StarGazer Lily--There has been one in every bouquet of flowers Jim has ever sent me in our 9 years together.

LooneyLife · February 2014

Amazing, @Aimothy! You have every right to be proud of yourself.

brij2006 · February 2014

So much luck to poppies and ILRV!!!
Also, @aimothy you look amazing! Great job on the long plank too!

Same ole here. PCOS diet and not ovulating. Although I've noticed that my temps are slightly higher than they used to be. Not sure if that's from the loss or the diet, but oh well.

QOTW: tulips. Especially purple and yellow ones. We plant a bunch along our garage, and I love waiting for them to bloom.

AW: I shaved 15 minutes off my 9.5 mile run last week, and my small jeans finally fit again. It may be because the pregnancy bloat finally went away, but I'm telling myself it's from actually trying to build muscle. Even though I've only lost 2 pounds.

FutureMrsWright2012 · February 2014

Updates: CD1 came on Monday.. Continuing with supplements and charting/OPKs for now. Scheduled for second opinion with new RE next Thursday. Interested to hear his thoughts and recommendations.

QOTW: I absolutely LOVE tulips. By far, the cutest flower ever.

@amandaf6383 - Hope you had an awesome time in NOLA!

@LooneyLife - GL with your upcoming FET!

@sweetpotato123- GL with your upcoming IUI cycle, FX that this is it!

@poppies717 and @iloveredvino - Everything is crossed for you two!!!

@ystaalenburg - Yay for your puppy! Glad he's feeling better.

Looking awesome @aimothy! Nice job on the weight loss and improved run time @brij2006!

@amandaf6383 can you add me? I was finally diagnosed with Grave's Disease today. I tried calling my gyn to get started on Clomid, and am waiting back about starting that. I'm a little upset they didn't call me back today since tomorrow will be CD 5. My endo still won't completely rule out PCOS, but everything came normal except my FSH levels from blood work. QOTW: hydrangeas, specifically blues ones. My grandmother always had them growing at her house. I love all flowers though.

abt8113 · February 2014

@LooneyLife - Good luck! @sweetpotato123- Good luck with your upcoming cycle. @poppies717 and @ iloveredvino everything crossed for you! @aimothy You look amazing!

ILoveRedVino · February 2014

@abt8113 PCOS is weird. It is different for everyone. I tested normal on every.single.test.

Yup. Most of my b/w was normal. It was a combination of things, not ovulating, excessive hair, cysts on ovaries, etc. that brought me the DX.

You're added, dear. Welcome to the shitty but absolutely supportive club,

Flamingo86 · February 2014

Not much new here. We are trying to buy a short sale and it sucks! We are waiting to see if the bank approves our offer. Other than that I like tulips.

I'm sorry about the Graves dx. Have they told you what the plan is yet? My sister, SIL, and BFF all have Graves. PM me if you want more info/vent.

Thanks. I'm not sure that I have it, and think they may be reaching. I ovulate, don't really have excessive hair, but I do carry fat around my stomach. We'll see what happens though. I am going to try to eat healthier and workout more.

I am starting the lowest dose of PTU today. I'm going for bloodwork in a month and meeting with the Endo in two month. My ranges are just slightly abnormal, so she wanted to start me out slow. She told me about another option, but this was her recommendation and the one I was most comfortable with.
