Hi all!

My husband (34M) and I (36F) have been trying for the past year with no positives. Im CD1 today and feeling tender.

I've had two uterine polyp removals, one in 2021 and then again in May 2025. The other day I saw something in the toilet when I went pee that led me to believe I have polyps again (mid cycle blood-tinged uterine tissue). I have an HSG and SIS to be scheduled for this cycle but I'm just feeling so discouraged. I've been trying the entire year since my last removal with no luck and I'm so worried they're back. Going down this medical rabbit hole feels so scary and disheartening. Like almost every result I can get from these tests (aside from nothing being wrong) ends with more procedures or surgeries and I'm trying to stay positive and all but some days it's hard, ya know?

<3 anyways I guess I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading <3

Yay or nay? Seems like I’d be hotter with it on, but dustier with it off? 🧐

Hi ya'll! I cannot wait for next week eeeeek!!!

So I'm trying to coordinate a big group and we have learned our lesson about not having a group camping pass :) But maybe ya'll can give me some insight into this little plan we have hatched...

Here's the situation- two of my friends can't get in until 10pm Thursday. Everyone else in the group (it's a pretty large group) is going get in at 630pm because they didn't want to wait until 10pm. I was planning on getting in at 10am, and I don't really want to wait until 630pm...but I also don't want to camp alone!

So I was thinking- the 10pm friends have a car camping pass, I have a general parking pass. I could drive their car down in the morning, park with my GA pass, and then go frolic the festival until 6pm. Then I would go back to their car and meet the larger group and drive back into the festival so we could set up camp with everyone and save their spot with their parking pass. 

Then they get in at 10pm with my car, I guess I hand them the GA parking pass at the gate? and then they go park? Is this crazy? :) that way everyone wins? I get to go early, they get to go late, we all get to camp together yay?

So my friends are arriving on Wednesday and I can't get there until Thursday. We don't have a group camping site...I emailed the LIB team and they said that this year only way I could camp with them is to arrive at the same time or pay for a group camping site. Is this *really* true? I feel like..well that kinda sucks haha

I know I've read posts of folks telling the entrance team where their friends are but not sure if they are going to be more strict on that this year. Anyways I guess I don't know what my question is but curious what folks experience is with this :)

My husband and I have been full on trying-like sex every other day the week of ovulation as tracked via LH strips- since January. But we started “trying” in July of last year. But most months July-December we only had sex once maybe twice around ovulation.

So have we been trying since January? Or July? 🧐

Edit: I will say that many of the months last summer were on CD11, and I’ve since confirmed ovulation happens on CD17 so seems like those tries were possibly too early. But my takeaway is that I should count the months that could have resulted in pregnancy:)

I have some big travel plans coming up around the end of my cycle this month and I’m worried it might mess things up. Am I just over thinking? I’ll be 10DPO when I drive two days to go to a music festival for 3 nights. I don’t drink or do drugs but I will probably be fairly sleep deprived. So I’m worried that if I do this it will ruin implantation or something… but I’m also worried if I don’t go and I’m not pregnant then I’ll just be sad! We’ve been trying for 6ish months now.

I’d appreciate any insight! :) baby dust to you all 💗
