    How many months/cycles have you been TTC? This is month/cycle 2

    Where are you in your cycle? 7 DPO

    Any plans to test this week? Yeah, I'll probably start tomorrow like a crazy person. We have a bunch of ICs and I like to pee on them. I found last cycle that for me, AF was the real disappointment, not the negatives.

    Have you done anything different or plan to in regards to TTC? We used Pre-Seed since DH went a little crazy on Amazon with gpr stuff, and I laid around on my back for a while after DTD.

    Any goods or bads you would like to discuss? I was super annoyed at how long I took to ovulate this cycle. I know it wasn't very late at all, but it was the latest I've been in over a year, so it was frustrating for me.

    Thoughts, questions, concerns? This 2ww shit is hard. I don't know how you ladies do this month after month.

    QOTW: Who was your first celebrity crush? I'm pretty sure it was Freddie Prinze, Jr. in She's All That.

    Edited because I'm an idiot. Don't mind me...

  • How many months/cycles have you been TTC? About 10 months

    Where are you in your cycle? CD16

    Any plans to test this week? I have one OPK left that I will probably use tomorrow. I have a trans-vaginal ultrasound scheduled for Thursday.

    Have you done anything different or plan to in regards to TTC? After having blood work done on CD3, I started Synthroid.

    Any goods or bads you would like to discuss?
    Bad: I think the Synthroid/Metformin combo is screwing with my blood sugars because they keep dropping too low and making me feel like crap.

    Thoughts, questions, concerns? I thought I had heard pretty much every stupid or just plain ignorant comment you could make to an infertile about getting pregnant until DH came home from a family dinner with this gem from his uncle:

    "Ya know, we had a friend couple who couldn't get pregnant and then she got a boob job and BAM...pregnant. Something to think about."

    DH came home from the dinner pretty upset. I didn't go with him because I wasn't feeling well. He basically felt like he was bombarded with questions about getting pregnant all night and he couldn't escape. And then for his uncle to throw that out there. DH takes it just as hard as me that we aren't pregnant yet. He said he wanted to punch his uncle in the face. What's even worse is that this uncle dealt with IF with DH's aunt.

    QOTW: Who was your first celebrity crush? Jonathan Taylor Thomas! Such a cutie!

    Are you fing kidding me? So rediculous. Sorry your DH had to listen to that crap.
    Ditto Madeline. That is some bullshit. Though... maybe I should look into a boob job. That's definitely a new one.

  • How many months/cycles have you been TTC? This is month 9 with one loss in the beginning.

    Where are you in your cycle? CD 16--waiting to ovulate.  

    Any plans to test this week? OPK's--my cycles are a mess since our loss, so I never know when I am going to ovulate.  

    Have you done anything different or plan to in regards to TTC? I have been really good about temping this month so far!  

    Thoughts, questions, concerns? Sometimes people suck.  A girl I work with is pregnant and constantly complains about it--which has annoyed me since she first POAS and told our entire office about it the same day.  BUT, this week, she reached a new low.  At lunch, she was making fun of her cousin, who is also pregnant and super swollen and puffy.  The girl in my office said, "Some people just shouldn't be allowed to be pregnant because they look terrible.  It's embarrassing".  Just typing this is pissing me off all over again.  

    QOTW: Who was your first celebrity crush? Justin Timberlake and JTT.  I was super obsessed with both!

    I definitely had some friends who were into JTT!! I just didn't give a shit. I think maybe I was just a little on the young side for that craze...

    I'm sorry about YH's uncle being a jerk. :( I definitely wouldn't judge him for punching the guy...

    GL this cycle, and I hope your meds start letting you feel better soon!

    Wow. I'm sorry your DH had to hear that. I'm with islandmonkey. I wrote about everything we'd tried in that TTC story post. But boob job is a new one. DH will be so disappointed to hear this, especially as we've moved away from TTC!

    a People actually say this crap? This makes me sad.
    Yeah, she's a real treat.  It's been a LONG pregnancy.  She says insensitive shit like this ALL the time--and there are two others that we work with that are dealing with fertility issues that she knows about.  I really dislike her.

  • Thanks, ladies! I'm pretty sure my jaw actually dropped open when he told me. The worst part about it was that DH was visibly upset about the whole evening. He told me that he will never go to family function without me again.

    And yeah...the last thing I need is a boob job so that is one avenue we will not be pursuing! lol
