TTC/3T Check-in.... Who's back?!
Ok ladies, let's try to bring this back! I'd like to include a little blurb about each active member on the board who want to be included (like we used to do for 3T) to remind everyone else on where you are in your journey. If you'd like to be included in that, please PM me. I'll have that all together for next week's check-in. For today...
Where are you at in your TTC journey?
Any testing coming up?
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
QOTW: What is your favorite quote (motivational, silly, sad, whatever!)?

Re: TTC/3T Check-in.... Who's back?!
6 months into TTC 2.0
Any testing coming up?
Not temping right now, so it's all just winging it. Last cycle was 36 days though (one before that was 74), so I'm just taking a test once a week.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
Once we get back I will start temping and the PCOS diet again. So I'm probably going to gorge myself on gluten, caffeine, and sugary alcoholic drinks on vacation.
QOTW: What is your favorite quote (motivational, silly, sad, whatever!)?

Any testing coming up? Nope. I do kind of wonder if they'll make me do all the testing again... I hope not. But, my body/lifestyle has changed and I do wonder if it'll make a difference.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Not really. Just trying to keep life uneventful. I've lost some weight and I'm hoping that it'll help with PCOS. But, I've never ovulated on my own, and I'm not super hopeful... though, it'd be nice.
QOTW: What is your favorite quote (motivational, silly, sad, whatever!)? I don't know. I have a Pinterest board full of them, but I'm not sure that I have a favorite. The loss ones speak to me, I guess.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
Any testing coming up? I'll POAS on CD 60.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I think since the last update I've started a new job with the Navy. So much less stressful, plus the benefits are so much better. We're continuing to plug along with TTC. I'm starting to get a little discouraged that something that I've wanted for so long is never going to happen because my body can't get its shit together. I know my OB/GYN isn't going to want to hear about further testing until I reach a year (which is the end of May). It's just frustrating. And DH is sooooooo supportive and wants to be a dad.
QOTW: What is your favorite quote (motivational, silly, sad, whatever!)? It's really a verse/chorus/whatever from my favorite singer Sara Bareilles. "Long ago in a sky built before us/A supernova grew up to be stardust." I love anything space-related, and this song (Cassiopeia) is one of my favorites of all time.

Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Probably the most exciting thing was that H and I ran in a half marathon recently and raised $3000 for a local organization that supports loss families. We never raised that amount of money or ran that far ever in our lives, so we were super proud.
QOTW: What is your favorite quote (motivational, silly, sad, whatever!)? My favorite quote and current life mantra is "Accept what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be".
