TTC Check In!
It's been a while, so let's see where everyone is at!
Where are you in your cycle? (waiting to O, 2WW, etc)
Did you do anything different this cycle?
Any phantom symptoms?
Anyone need help with a chart stalk or have any questions? Hopefully we can all help each other out here 
Re: TTC Check In!
Where are you in your cycle? (waiting to O, 2WW, etc) Waiting for AF period!
Did you do anything different this cycle? I started progesterone on Sunday night to induce a period...so by the weekend she should be here in full force and then I can get down to business!
Any phantom symptoms? N/A
Anyone need help with a chart stalk or have any question? No...but I may in a few weeks

Fingers crossed mel!
Yay! That's awesome news, Mel! I can't wait to hear the results tomorrow, but it sounds like congrats are in order!
Holy crap Mel!! How do you feel about this possibility? Excited? Overwhelmed by how quickly it (may) have happened?
I feel super excited for you!!!
B to the what now? Holy cow, congrats!!
Way to slip that in there...
My (less exciting) update: AF came last week, right on time. Which was surprising considering that as you all know I just had the most stressful month of my life, plus most people are a little late the first cycle after IVF.
The problem is I needed her to show up a couple days later. I am doing a frozen embryo transfer this cycle and the lab at my fertility doctor is closed for a few weeks. I'm doing a natural cycle, meaning I will not be manipulated by any drugs (yay!). They will simply monitor me to see when I ovulate and then do the transfer a week later. But, if I ovulate when I normally do my transfer would be around 7/26... and with the lab closure the first transfer date is 7/27. Figures. So, I am back on BCPs for a week to push out the transfer date. Transfer should be around 8/4!
Woohoo!!! I hope to hear the official good news tomorrow. So exciting!!
I will continue to send all my baby vibes to the rest of you ladies! Hang in there! It will happen!
It's been a while, so let's see where everyone is at!
Where are you in your cycle? (waiting to O, 2WW, etc): Waiting to O
Did you do anything different this cycle? Not yet but on the 19th I go to my DR. & have a blood sample taken so she can check my progesterone levels & see if she thinks I'm acctually ovulating & then on the 2nd of August I go to have an ultrasound done to see if my reproductive organs look like they're in good shape. After that, if everything looks good she wants me to go on Clomid. I'll also buy a OPK today or tomorrow to try to get a jump on things.
Any phantom symptoms? No.

AHH! Way to be sneaky and hide that in here, Mel!! How excited are you? Can't wait to hear how the test tomorrow goes too - hoping for the official good news tomorrow
I'm excited/nervous about it! I told DH he has supersperm! I really didn't expect it to happen so soon because they say the normal couple tries for 3-4 months or something like that.
Part of me feels bad because Julie, Dani, Lori, and Liz have been trying forever....just have to send lots of TTC vibes their way!
@Everyone else: Thanks!

You are not allowed to feel bad. I won't let you! I think we all know it happens differently for each couple, but it doesn't mean we can't be super excited for you in the mean time!
Besides, I'll be sipping extra margaritas in New York and you can't have any!
I know I'm super jealous! I'll have to have a virgin one just to say I sipped margaritas with some of the best ladies on the planet!
We are getting together with friends next week for margaritas and I most likely won't be able to have any

Ditto this!!! Besides, it's kinda nice to be on a break right now. Hopefully when September rolls around and the Dr runs the tests he wants we should be good to go. I also think part of our problem was that I O later than I orignally thought.
Mel! How exciting! I will be waiting on the official news tomorrow
And tons of baby dust for everyone TTC.
Holy crap Mel, that is so exciting!!! From what I understand $ store tests are pretty reliable....I can't wait to see a post from you tomorrow morning!!

Did you do anything different this cycle? we had more sex
Any phantom symptoms? Not really, but today I have a TON of "pulling" type cramps in my upper abdomen...I've never had that before.

I'm not TTC, but I have a good friend has been trying for 3 years (now with Dr's help) and. . . THEY ARE HAVING TRIPLETS!!! They just reached their 2nd trimester, so I'm allowed to talk about it now :P They are beyond excited and super terrified, ha ha. So all of your ladies having trouble TTC, there's some hope!

Don't you feel bad for one second! If it was someone I didn't like, yea, different story...but we all love you Mel, and you SO deserved this!!! Jeff and I are jumping back on the baby-making train with full steam again this month. So maybe, by some chance of a miracle, I will be joining you soon! : )
Good luck to you, Danie. I'm sending you plenty of pregnancy vibes & a truck load of baby dust.
Ditto George-Anne!
