I quit my old, stressful, inflexible job and starting my new one in two weeks. This one is more flexible with a positive work environment. It will be much better for kids.</p> <p>After my last cycle (the only probably anovulatory cycle), my projected fertile window moved to right before my girls trip, rather than during. I was going to NTNP since I have a conference around the due date for this cycle, but gosh darn it, I'm so tired of TTC that in the unlikely chance of a BFP, we will figure it out. I didn't use preseed or conceive plus early on, but then used it closer to likely O. I usually O CD15, but not sure when since acupuncture. If it was CD15, that was the day before I left, and we had good timing. If much later, then we won't have much chance. I had a terrible migraine 2 days after acupuncture (I rarely get them and this is the third time it happened), so I am probably going to back off that. The first time with this acupuncturist (last cycle) she helped me spleen meridian (one of the three fertility ones) and it has been staying. I hope that makes the difference. I am getting really frustrated/discouraged and want this phase to be over! We are starting to talk about femara if things don't happen soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798775 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:34:22 +0000 mrswin 1798775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: You still got O and O+1 so I wouldn't count yourself out! :goodluck: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798611 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:45:04 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1798611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: ah, OK! Well anywho, guess we'll see what happens or doesn't happen. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798575 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:30:31 +0000 mrswin 1798575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I was being monitored for IUI so I was having daily ultrasounds. The day after my IUI I would go back for an ultrasound to confirm I ovulated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798555 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:23:46 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1798555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: true!<br /> @LindsayInNY: no, it doesn't change.<br /> @mrswin: yes, I had the hcg trigger. How does your re determine the override date? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798526 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:14:18 +0000 mrswin 1798526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Did you have an HCG trigger? It can skew your chart, I was told by my ND to override my FF ovulation date to whatever the RE says because it metabolizes really quickly. It could be that you were already surging and they added the trigger to boost it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798515 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:08:41 +0000 LindsayInNY 1798515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: It's definitely possible that you started surging on your own before the trigger. That's what happened with me and I didn't even need the trigger. What happens if you put a fake temperature in for tomorrow? Does that change your O date on FF? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798468 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 07:39:04 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 1798468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Based on that chart I would say that ovulation occurred on the 4th. BUT, temp charts can only confirm that you DID ovulate, but they can't necessarily determine the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798405 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 06:47:06 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1798405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: I understand the need to take a break from these forums sometimes. I have had to do that on and off over my TTC/infertility course. Sometimes it is better to not have to think about all this stuff everyday and keep occupied elsewhere. Just do what bring the most happiness and peace into your life, we are always here when you need us:) Hoping you get some answers later this month and come up with new plan to help you get your bfp. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798360 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 01:54:49 +0000 lazypanda 1798360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I totally think it's possible you O'd or naturally surged to O! Don't take my word as I don't chart my bbt, I think there are lots of other ladies (@septca:) who are better at reading those charts! FX for you! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1798356 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 01:18:33 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1798356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you guys think I O'd when FF said I did? ON the day of the trigger? Is it possible I O'd on my own before the trigger? Or do you think I O'd yesterday? </p> <p>Sorry if the pic is huge! </p> [attach=3437/14/n9tliz.431x453.Screenshot_2014-08-05-08-10-59-1.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1797946 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:01:09 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 1797946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lazypanda: You're so sweet! Thanks! I Hope you get your BFP soon! That's the tricky part. I want EVERYONE to get their BFPs, so when they do I'm so happy for them, yet it's hard when it seems so far away for us. I KNOW we will be so grateful for how our family turns out, but sometimes in the meantime I feel like I just have to not focus on it and instead watch a lot of Netflix (ha!) or another more productive hobby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1797941 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:58:59 +0000 lazypanda 1797941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: FX that it just takes that one! </p> <p>@Mrs. Pinata: I can see your point &amp; have had those thoughts myself at times (although I cannot completely understand your feelings as my journey has been short compared to yours). I would say that I have found this thread incredibly supportive &amp; am hoping that one day I will get that same BFP/non chemical pregnancy experience. I do hope you'll stick around &amp; lurk even. Sending lots of positive thoughts &amp; vibes your way! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1797055 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:51:48 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1797055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1796586 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 07:01:36 +0000 sweetooth 1796586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: It only takes one :heart: Sending you good thoughts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1796537 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 03:52:22 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1796537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: I get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1796160 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:37:34 +0000 FaithFertility 1796160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pinata: Prayers and best of luck in your journey!

Sorry I've been so absent! :/ Mr. P and I were out of town for a couple of weeks with unreliable internet, and then I've been trying to fast from the media (although not as successful as I would have liked). And this may sound selfish, but it was kind of hard for me to see so many BFPs on here when we've been trying for so long. :/ </p> <p>Anyway, I will be returning to the Dr. later this month and re-testing some stuff later this month, so I'm glad we'll hopefully figure out exactly what's going on with me. :-) </p> <p>But, unfortunately I may not be in here much anymore. It's AWESOME to see so many BFPs! But, it can be hard to know that we're on the extremely stubborn side of the IF spectrum. :/ But, best of luck to all of you! I hope you ALL get BFPs soon! :-) Hugs to you all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795537 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:16:38 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1795537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: @mrswin: , thanks, I hope so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795308 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:32:05 +0000 babycanuck 1795308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF has arrived and I left a message for the RE saying I'll come in starting day 3 again for monitoring. They didn't tell me to come again this cycle, but they didn't say not to, so I'll err on the side of caution. </p> <p> :goodluck: @LindsayInNY: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795232 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:14:56 +0000 mrswin 1795232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Hope your DH is feeling better soon, work stress can be so hard to deal with.</p> <p>@winter_wonder: Sorry about the BFN :sad: </p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Sorry that you only had 1 follicle, FX that this cycle works for you. Hopefully your HPTs will show up soon!</p> <p>@LindsayInNY: Glad to hear your IUI went well.

It was easy peasy too. Honestly, I thought a Pap smear was more uncomfortable! I go back in two weeks to test, if necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795159 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 08:10:21 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1795159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*That was supposed to say ordered, not offered. I ordered them on amazon UK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795088 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 04:43:47 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1795088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, blerg. Had my scan at 8:45am, and I only had 1 follicle :-( Wtf? It was 20mm so they triggered me while I was there. We're to DTD today and tomorrow. Test date on Aug 18th. The ICs I offered definitely aren't here yet either. I might try to find a local site I can get them from. Blah! If not successful this month, they'll up my dosage.<br /> ETA: I'm on CD 10, so at least my cycle will be nice and short, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795046 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 23:59:14 +0000 lazypanda 1795046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: I'm sorry. :heart: BFNs suck! I do hope you are able to get closer monitoring. My RE doesn't require that I use OPKs cuz they aren't always accurate for me. </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: yay for having the backup! FX that this is it! :goodluck: </p> <p>@LindsayInNY: good luck tomorrow! It'll be over before you know it! :good luck:</p> <p>@babycanuck: I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Vent away… :heart: </p> <p>I always imagined myself working in the field that I am in, but with a PhD. I'm definitely glad that I have a more versatile degree as my graduate degree has opened many opportunities for me. I've enjoyed each of the jobs I have had thus far, although it does get difficult at times. But the small successes make up for the difficult times. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1795041 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 23:35:12 +0000 lazypanda 1795041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:bfp: <b>BFP</b> :bfp:<br /> Faithfertility: Due Date 12/17, saw heartbeat 5/1!<br /> LittleK<br /> Bhbee: saw heartbeat 5/22!<br /> Catchafallingstar: EDD 1/15/15<br /> EmilyE: BFP 5/12, saw sac on 5/20, beta #1: 79, beta #2: 226, beta#3<br /> TheReelDeal<br /> Happygal: BFP 5/15 beta #1: 36, beta #2: 238<br /> PastaAndPotato: BFP beta #1: 9.4, beta #2: 151, beta #3: 456!<br /> Snowdrop<br /> MrsTal: EDD: 2/7, Beta#1: 26, Beta #2: 89<br /> Mrs Bunchy: BFP 7/8/14, Beta #1: 44.2 Beta #2: 324, u/s 7/18<br /> Boopers: BFP 7/23</p> <p>:happy: :heart: <b>Hanging Out</b> :heart: :happy:<br /> Mrs. Polish: 6 month wait list for new doctor<br /> Septca<br /> Mrs. Piñata: using some essential oils and Vitex; seeing chiropractor and Naturopath; re-evaluating in Sept/Oct<br /> Leialou<br /> doxielove<br /> Kelli_Deluxe<br /> CupQuakeWalk<br /> PurplePumps: unmedicated cycle, then start IVF next cycle<br /> AmeliaBedilia<br /> lazypanda<br /> alohaorchid<br /> FliegepilzHut<br /> GreenThumb</p> <p>:goodluck: <b>TWW </b> :goodluck:<br /> Winter_Wonder: Femara, IUI#1<br /> BeeBee: Femara, ovidrel, IUI #1<br /> babycanuck<br /> travelgirl1<br /> Mrs.Pinecone316: IVF<br /> MrsWin: IVF, transferred 1 embryo, POAS 8/4<br /> bluestripedbee: Femara IUI POAS 8/13</p> <p>:heart:<b>Treatments/Tests/Appointments </b>:heart:<br /> Jenn23: ER 8/2 or 8/3<br /> Shutterbug: waiting for results<br /> Just_Ju: moving onto IVF in August (yay insurance!)<br /> Macintosh: start stims on 8/3, ER 8/14 for IVF with ICSI<br /> babycanuck: 7DPO progesterone test on 7/30, results appt with dr on 8/12<br /> Robyn_ZA: lap on 7/16, IVF consult 7/29<br /> Warbler: will be setting up appt with RE for IVF with ICSI<br /> owlteach: RE appt 8/18<br /> Kelli_Deluxe: looking for new RE in AZ<br /> LindsayInNY: Clomid, IUI 8/2<br /> Kelli_Deluxe: lap 9/19, clomid IUI in October<br /> Mrs Bunchy: 3rd u/s on 7/29<br /> lazypanda: next step/IVF consult with RE 8/18<br /> CupQuakeWalk: IUI at the end of August, TI with Clomid until then<br /> TheSwissWifeStyle: on injectables<br /> Sunshine1810: started BCP, ER 9/15</p> <p>:grin:<b>Life &amp; Updates</b> :wink:<br /> alohaorchid: brand new house being built, new job, vegas trip<br /> doxielove: house hunting in the fall<br /> Sunshine1810: new golden puppy Isis!<br /> Boopers: new job!<br /> TheSwissWifeStyle: getting new tattoo of koi and lotus<br /> owlteach: Europe 2016 with students<br /> bluestripedbee: Disney World in August!<br /> Kelli_Deluxe: seeing DH during long weekend and in September during fertile window before deployment; moving to AZ<br /> PurplePumps: FL trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1794980 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 21:42:56 +0000 FaithFertility 1794980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: I'm sorry!</p> <p>@LindsayInNY: Best of luck tomorrow!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-731/page/2#post-1794830 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:55:18 +0000 babycanuck 1794830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feeling a bit down this weekend.
