How is your attitude/outlook? Still positive. I've started writing down my thoughts at night before bed. Sort of a clear my slate thing so I don't toss and turn thinking about eggs and sperm haha!!

What have you struggled with most this week? Wondering if I have the strength for this.

Since April 2012

What are your plans for this cycle?
Clomid, currently 9dpo

How is your attitude/outlook?
Manic. One minute I'm sure I'm pregnant, the next I'm sure I never will be. I got myself this bracelet so I can remember not to lose hope.

What have you struggled with most this week?
A pregnancy announcement at work, and my BFF officially starting TTC.

What is your diagnosis?
Unexplained, but DH has borderline morph and I have a short LP and hypothyroid.

What summer movie are you most looking forward to?
I really want to see This Is The End, even though it looks dumb.

@Shutterbug: Love the bracelet!

@PastaAndPotato: Good luck tomorrow! So exciting FX

@ineebee: Hope the move goes well

@Mrs. Polish: Hope you are enjoying your vacation

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
Since March '12

What are your plans for this cycle?
Herbs from ND

How is your attitude/outlook?
Better than last week, but not great. At that point where I'm worrying about getting enough BD in before O.

What have you struggled with most this week?
Keeping positive

What is your diagnosis?
MTHFR, Hashimoto's

What summer movie are you most looking forward to?
Monsters U!

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC? Since January 2012

What are your plans for this cycle? Going back to the natural way...with opk's. Right now I am waiting to O.

How is your attitude/outlook? Pretty good. I'm not really concentrating on the whole TTC thing. We are leaving for Italy tomorrow and will be gone for 2 weeks!!! I really hope that I O when we are in Italy and that we come back with a bambino in the oven! On the TTC front, we have a consultation with the IVF clinic on Friday before we leave. If we don't come back with a vacation baby, I hope to start IVF in July or August.

What have you struggled with most this week? It's been a good week for me since I haven't thought about it much. I have other things on my mind like packing and getting everything done at work before we go away.

What is your diagnosis? MFI - low motility.

What summer movie are you most looking forward to? There's new movies out this summer??? Really??? I guess I haven't really paid attention to them and none have caught my eye.

Still not sure exactly where I "fit," but I'll play along

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
Officially since March '13, but we've been trying to get my body regulated/get healthy since January '11

What are your plans for this cycle?
(Impatiently) waiting/trying to let my body heal. HSG and more progesterone blood work next cycle. I think I'll feel better then that we're actually *doing* something!

How is your attitude/outlook?
So-so. I'm getting scared for the HSG, and I've been super frustrated that we're here at all. Blah.

What have you struggled with most this week?
Being patient, staying hopeful. Also, finding a job for the summer. Not hearing back from anyone is starting to wear on me and majorly stressing me out! And not BDing during the O window was *not* fun, even a little bit.

What is your diagnosis?
Repeat Pregnancy Loss due to Luteal Phase Defect (blah).

What summer movie are you most looking forward to?
We haven't been to the movies in a while...not sure if we'll go this summer!

@PastaAndPotato: good luck tomorrow!
@Shutterbug: so pretty! And I'm hopeful for you
@justdarling: that sounds like fun! Enjoy Italy

@justdarling: Ooh! We very well could be IVF twins! Considering the timing of my next cycle and my appt. with the new RE, I'm most likely gonna start late July.

I don't know about you, but ever since we started TTC, I've hoped and prayed that we wouldn't have to resort to IVF. But now, I'm so anxious to start! Let's do this!!

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC? I am calling this lucky number 20!

What are your plans for this cycle? IUI with Menopur

How is your attitude/outlook? right now, very positive and hopeful!!!

What have you struggled with most this week? Just the waiting. AF started yesterday and I went in for baseline ultrasound and bloodwork yesterday. I knew after the ultrasound yesterday that my cyst is smaller but was waiting to see about my estrogen levels I just got a call from my RE that I can use the Menopur and we can actively TTC this cycle!!! I have been waiting since my last unsuccessful IUI in January to actively TTC due to cysts. I am very excited! This will be my 3rd IUI and I have been saying for several months now that "3rd times the charm" and more recently "lucky number 20" (meaning cylce 20), both as a positive mantra to keep me going and it's working. I really feel hopeful and excited about this cycle!

What is your diagnosis? primarily inconsistent ovulation and hypothyroidism

What summer movie are you most looking forward to? None really. We don't go to a lot of movies.

@kentuckygirl: yay!! I'm so happy for you! Lucky #20

@Shutterbug: Love your bracelet and the sentiments attached to it!

@LovelyPlum: What treatment has your doc suggested for LPD?

@raintreebee: You have a gift for words! This was beautiful. Thanks for your advice - it is invaluable! You know, everyone I know who's done IVF has been successful on their first try, so of course, in the back of my mind, that's what I was expecting, too. So I definitely need that advice - to be more cautious in my expectations. And I'm glad to know that the physical pain of IVF wasn't the worst ever in the whole world for you! I really did get that impression from reading the boards, and while I'm sure it's true for some, it isn't the case for everyone.

I'll be looking forward to your advice in the future!

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
Since April 2012

What are your plans for this cycle?
Get through the (negative) beta on Saturday, then meet w/ RE Monday to discuss being more aggressive next cycle

How is your attitude/outlook?
Meh

What have you struggled with most this week?
Dealing with an intense sadness that I think hit after the Lupron...I just could not stop crying about everything from the last few months. Intellectually I know it's the meds.

What is your diagnosis?
DOR, low progesterone, endometriosis, hypothyroid (though last TSH was super low!)

What summer movie are you most looking forward to?
Wow, I have no idea what movies are coming out. I'd have to think about this.

@kentuckygirl: Nordstrom Rack on clearance (it was only $9.99!) if you don't have one near you I'd be happy to get you one and mail it to you.

@raintreebee: not sure yet. I was on progesterone supplements during my last pregnancy, because the numbers were pretty low. We're re-testing P numbers next cycle...he wanted to wait a cycle to let my hormones settle after two crazy months. It's consistently long, but my BBT is usually pretty low. Thyroid is clear, which is good. I'm mostly waiting this cycle, and we're going to test more next cycle. I'm impatient for it to get here!!

@kentuckygirl: hopeful for number #20!!

@TheReelDeal: I would guess that we've all been there, wondering if we have the strength to keep going. Hugs - you can do it!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I hope you get some answers soon.

@Mrs.Someone: I forgot about Monsters U! I do want to see that movie! Thanks for the support!

@LovelyPlum: Thanks and I am so hopeful for you and that you will get more helpful information soon. I hope you find some comfort and support here. IF is hard but I can't imagine how hard it has been for you and the others on this thread who have suffered loss(es).
