Hey ladies?
What's shakin'? How are you?
-
I'm in the TWW of a funky cycle. I almost always O on CD15. I had EWCM CD14, but my temps say I O'd CD17. I'm either 8 or 10DPO. I had a big dip below the coverline yesterday (7-9DPO), which of course gets my hopes up.
SIL recently announced she is pregnant again. Ugh.
We are working on the renovation for our new house/farm. I'm a little overwhelmed, but it will be so nice when it's finished.
-
I'm also in the TWW, but right at the end - CD 27 today. Not really charting but had EWCM around CD12-14, so timing puts me at roughly 12-13DPO I think. No testing for me, just waiting.
Otherwise, we will do an endometrial biopsy next cycle and another FET the following.
@AmeliaBedilia:
Good luck! And, you have a farm?! Tell me more! What kind of renovating?
-
@GreenThumb: Good luck with the endometrial biopsy! I've read great things about them.
-
Started my first IVF injections last night, so that's kind if a big deal!
My first monitoring ultrasound is Wednesday, my birthday...fun fun!We're in Omaha for the weekend visiting our best friends, so that's distracting me. I felt a bit of a time crunch to do the injection last night, so I really just didn't have time to dwell on it. And since I hate needles, I think that helped
-
Got word yesterday that I ovulated this cycle. No idea when though. I did POAS last night because I was at a family event where I was going to drink and it was a BFN. Hoping it's just too early. Regardless, our timing was pretty excellent this month, so we did everything we could.
@sarahnicole218: yay! That's so exciting!!!!
@GreenThumb: @AmeliaBedilia:
ladies!

I completed all of my RE paperwork on Thursday evening and submitted it Friday. Our appointment isn't until end of April and I'm meeting with my OB March 5th. I'm currently CD 5, so will just watch for ovulation and try to time BD as well as we can next weekend.
@sarahnicole218: How very exciting!! Can't be fun, but at least you feel like you are doing something

@Hoots: I hope that you get a BFP soon! What cycle day are you?
-
@NorthStar: 28 according to the RE's schedule, which is based on the first placebo bcp I took, but 26 according to when my period started. I thinking I ovulated last Sunday or Monday because I noticed my cervix dropped. Not positive though because I wasn't allowed to temp. I cheated last week though because of the out of town trip I had to make and noticed a temp jump to the range I have been in the past when I was on Provera. FX that's when it happened.

@GreenThumb: we bought an 80 acre farm with a 200 year old house about 2 months ago. It needs a total renovation, so we've been meeting with HVAC, sunroom people, solar panels, etc- a HUGE project. Plus we are weighing our options for what to do with the land. We've applied for some grants to help fund tree planting. We're planning an orchard but that won't get planted til next year. The house will likely be ready September-December range. We will probably move into a 3 room "apartment" in the house for part of it so we can get our house on the market. All of this makes planning so hard. If we do have a baby around the time we move in, we'll make it work. If AF comes this week, I'm going to tell myself that it would be really hard to move around the same time.
@sarahnicole218: sending prayers!
@Hoots: yea for O, but so hard to not know where you are in the cycle.
9DPO or 11DPO here. AF is due either Monday or Wednesday. A little more CM than normal. My temps have been wacky; I'm considering a new thermometer. I'm really trying to trust God.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Wow - that sounds amazing!! So an orchard - so cool! Any animals? Hope the renovation goes great! Can you tell I'd love a farm?! But I'm pretty happy to start playing around with our 1.25 acres this spring - we just moved in the fall.
@sarahnicole218:
How is everything going so far?@Hoots: How are things looking today? CD28 or 30 maybe today?
@NorthStar: Good luck this cycle!!
AFM: Now on CD30 with no AF! According to the 16 cycles I have logged with FF, my average cycle is 27 days with the max being 30, so if nothing happens today I'm going to consider POAS tomorrow. Kicking myself for not temping! I definitely had ovulation pain on my left side (right is blocked) and a lot of cramping basically from what I think was 6DPO on, so who know, maybe a miracle happened! My hopes are up but I keep telling myself that I'm crazy
!

@GreenThumb: Thanks. Even if you did temp, you could still be confused (like me).
I'm either 11DPO (based on temps/FF that have been wonky) or 13DPO (based on that I always O CD15 and had a little EWCM CD14). My temp is still up, which has only happened one other time on CD13 (besides progesterone cycles and such). I caved, and POAS (cheap wondfo) and I think it's negative, but it looks different than ones in the past. There are two lines, but the second line is further away that I think it should be- it's on the different material. DH's take is, "It looks different, maybe it's just too early." Thoughts? Please don't get my hopes up- I'm doing way too much of that already.
-
-
@AmeliaBedilia: really?! Awesome! Fingers crossed for continued development
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Wow! That looks really promising!!! Super excited and hopeful for you!!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: looks a lil far apart. I say get a frer!!!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Oh my gosh! I see a line, but yeah, it's in an odd spot and I can't tell if it's from where the other material touches the display part of the strip. fingers crossed too!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: You know I pray for you every day and that I hope Hope HOPE this is it for you. Chart looks great, but I wouldn't trust the wondfo. As a friend, and if it were me, I would go pick up a FRER.
-
@GreenThumb: Thanks for checking in, I'm doing alright. Last night was my third Follistim injection and I can definitely feel my ovaries working. I'm started to get bloated and I hear it doesn't get any better before egg retreival, lol. It is ALL going to be worth it...I keep telling myself that anyway!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Also, not sure if you saw the false-positives warning for a Wondfo batch on the TTC boards, but maybe make sure you're not using that batch.
ETA: Here is the link to that post: http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wondfo-bad-batch-warning-false-positives
-
@AmeliaBedilia: looks like it's ink bleeding on the seam of the test. My DH got me all excited once by checking my Wondfo test that looked like this and calling it positive. It was negative. I hope it's just too early for you!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: FX so hard that it's actually a second line. I agree FRER.
@GreenThumb: No AF so far. Trying really hard not to get my hopes up. I'm hoping she stays away for the right reasons this month. I am going to try not to test until this weekend.
-
Thanks for all the responses. DH texted that he might not be home tonight- it's snowing like crazy and he has a long commute, so he might stay closer to work. We have agreed that I won't test without him. If he is able to get here safely, my plan is to wait today, and if my temp stays up tomorrow (unlikely), then I will POA(better)S. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but failing miserably. If this isn't it, I am going to be SO, SO SAD. Thanks for all the prayers!
-
DH tried to come home, and the roads are a mess so he's not able to make it home tonight. I am so freaked out that my temperature will be down tomorrow. If it's up, I won't be able to test either. I've been disappointed so many times, and my hopes are so up. I really appreciate the support of so many awesome women who understand.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Could you record it on your phone and then send it to him?
-
Has anyone used Endomitrin and *not* had the annoying while chalky discharge? I typically do, and I just started a new box (first one at 2pm today after my transfer, second at 530) and I've had zero discharge at all which has never happened to me before.
-
My temp is down below the cover line. Devastated.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: dont lose faith until AF shows. My succesfull month was like yours
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Oh no! I'm still hoping there's a chance for you. Hugs and F(still)X.
-
@babycanuck: did your temp go down like this?
-
@AmeliaBedilia: huge temp drops, FF said I ovulated a week later than normal (at which point I hadn't seen Dh in a week to dtd) and was positive it was a no go. I still have my fingers crossed for you! You just never know
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Huge hugs!
-
@PurplePumps: Have you been taking it since your ER or did you just start? I think as long as it's dissolving up there (and not just sitting up there undissolved) then it's doing its job.
-
@Shutterbug: I took it since the ER, then skipped yesterday mornings for the ET and started again that afternoon. It's just odd for me to not have any discharge for this long. I'm not complaining though as long as it's still working!
-
I'm out for this month as of yesterday afternoon (not shocking, still sad as always
). DH and I had a huge talk about how to proceed. We actually flip flopped and decided to do another medicated FET back at our original clinic rather than the endometrial biopsy followed by natural cycle FET locally. Stinks to have to travel for the transfer but there is comfort in the known and we weren't given any better odds for the natural cycle (maybe slightly less even). We will thaw all 4 remaining embryos and see which look best the day of the transfer.
-
@PurplePumps: FX for you!! I've only ever done PIO, so I don't have any idea. Could you call the clinic to make sure things are all good? When is your beta scheduled for?@AmeliaBedilia: Hugs!! Hoping for the best for you!!!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Hugs!! You aren't out until AF shows.
@PurplePumps: Sorry, no experience with endometrin. I have to put estrace up there each morning and before I go to bed.
@GreenThumb: Aww, I'm sorry you are out this month. Hugs!! I can see why you would want to go back to your original clinic. Definitely better going with the known than the unknown.
-
I think I'm probably out this month. Spotting and cramping. I'd like to believe it's implantation, but realistically it's most likely AF. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty devestated.
-
@Hoots: I'm sorry
-
@Hoots: Hugs! I'm right there with you. Hopefully this cycle is it for us.
I'm starting to spot. I have procrastinated on an HSG for a number of reasons: my doc thinks it is highly unlikely to be the cause, I keep thinking of something else that might work, and then it never does. I also have this huge mental block about doing it, and DH thinks it's fear. I called today and left a VM with my OB/GYN. Also, DH hasn't had a SA in a while, so my doc wants him to repeat that. If all those are ok, we will officially be unexplained IF (boo!) and probably go back to femara. (I had done one cycle on it right before I changed doctors.) I'm also making a plan of everything I can do to improve my fertility- yoga, herbs, fertility massage- my kitchen sink plan. IF sucks!
Good luck! And, you have a farm?! Tell me more! What kind of renovating?
My first monitoring ultrasound is Wednesday, my birthday...fun fun!
