@Kaohinani: I'll do what I can, but I can't have my phone out at work for the foreseeable future. Read-find out how much they stick to the phone policy at work.
-
@Sams Mom: I get you. I absolutely understand. I just can't do this during another completely canceled cycle. I am crestfallen that I can not participate (* although, I need the break). TTC is all I have known the last 38 mos and now I'm taking BC pills for a huge cyst and can't even attempt. I'm kind of "lost" outside of work, family, and training. I miss the university as well and I'm so sick of being ill with "something" and "everything" which has been ongoing for the last month. I REALLY need to step away but my conscience keeps me on.

• Cycle Day: 14
• TTC Cycle: 4
• Ovulation Date: possibly today 3/26 depending on my temp tomorrow
• POAS Date: April 3rd
• Baby #: 3I'm feeling good things for this cycle. This is my 4th since I had my IUD removed and AF finally seemed more substantial. Who would have thought after 3 years of no AF I'd be happy to see her back with heft.
I've also been taking B6 and B12 and my 9/10 day LP went to 11 last month with less spotting. I got a nice positive OPK tonight and we've been DTD every night before I go to work. We'll see what happens!I kept up with the March POAS board even tho I sat it out and I'm crossing everything that April is a much happier, healthier and
filled month for everyone. 
-
@Kaohinani: Hey, don't worry! I will update the board once or twice a day, I'm sure that's enough and if I'm unable to do it for some reason, I'll tag @Sams Mom: in and she can do it when she gets a chance.
Take your time and take a step back. We'll be waiting for you when you're ready to participate more, but don't feel like you have an obligation to keep the board running. -
@Phillybaby2013: Welcome! I'll add you to the board. Good luck!

With a drop like that I'm going to assume AF is on the way, but who knows? 🤷♀️
-
@Sams Mom: Impressive!
-
@paranundrum: annnnnnd I was right, started my period right before I walked out the door for the first day at the actual job 🤦♀️
-
@Sams Mom: Mr. Murphy always has your back! Good luck today. Try to survive the blood bath.
-
@Phillybaby2013: chart looks great! Fingers crossed!!
@Sams Mom: good luck with your first day at the new job, AF and all... -
It’s funny how even after trying for so long with my first two and having two babies, I’m still symptom spotting like crazy. Think I’d know better by now!! 🤦♀️
-
@paranundrum: I’m out... cycle day 1 for me. Very short luteal phase... but it’s my first postpartum cycle. I’m staying excited and optimistic. I’ll also be here to cheer you all on!!!
-
• Cycle Day: 9 dpo
• TTC Cycle: quickly closing in on 3 years
• Ovulation Date:
• POAS Date:
• Baby #: 2I went in for blood work today since I'm not entirely convinced I even ovulated. They are checking estrogen, progesterone & HCG. Once I do get my period, we are going to try Femara again (my RE seems to think I'll have better results since we added metformin).
-
@Kaohinani: @paranundrum: Thanks for adding me. I'm going to read the thread and come back to update (hopefully soon lol). @Kaohinanai: sorry for everything you're going through!
-
@Kaohinani: So sorry for the rough time you're having lately.
Hopefully taking a month off will be good for your soul
-
@CatchAFallingStar: man you are a reminder of how long I have been TTC!
We were on the POAS boards together back in 2017 
-
• Cycle Day: CD27
• TTC Cycle: 1
• Ovulation Date: ? I think 3/20 but we're starting off NTNP, so no temps or charts to tell me
• POAS Date: I originally said 3/29 but I'll test 4/5 if AF hasn't shown by then.
• Baby #: 2So a little additional info, I highly doubt I'm PG because we only BD twice this month, on 3/9 & 3/10. Then I got a UTI, and then we both got sick with colds. (DD1 also got ear tubes last week, so we've had a lot going on!) I have longer than "typical" cycles also, but with the exclusion of trying for #1, I've been on hormonal BC for 18 years. I'm 36 now and before I went on BC I had no idea that my cycle could be longer than 28 days, I just thought I "skipped" my period sometimes. Now I see that I just have a longer than average cycle.
I feel like you all know each other pretty well so I felt the need to share LOL
-
also is anyone still interested in the FB group for infertility/recurrent loss ladies?
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I'm sorry you're out, but it's good to hear you're optimistic despite of that. Do you want me to add you as a cheerleader or will you POAS again later this month?
@mrskansas: @JennyLayneAZ: Welcome and good luck!

@Sams Mom: How did your first day go?
-
@paranundrum: not bad, but I don't have training on the medical record software until tomorrow, so a lot of waiting and watching until Monday.
These mornings are killing me though
-
@Sams Mom: Then you'll have some time to get in the groove before having to dive in
Did you have to change your morning routine?
-
@paranundrum: after a month of unemployment, and my previous job being very flexible with hours, I haven't had to be up this early in a long time.
From the looks of it I'm in training for 3 1/2 weeks before I have to sink or swim
-
@Sams Mom: I feel your pain...I'm not a morning person at all. Or a night person really. I'm the constantly exhausted pigeon in the lark/night owl comparison...
I used to work in 12-14h shifts two days on, two days off, now I've been working from 8.30 until 17.00 for nearly two years and I have found out, much to my surprise, that I actually prefer a stricter routine like I have now. I never got anything done on my days off before, I was so tired all the time. -
@paranundrum: hmm.. I guess I will probably POAS around the 26th
-
@CatchAFallingStar: bummer, hopefully since you've gotten your period now you can time things well and get lucky
-
I got my results from 9 dpo yesterday
progesterone 9.1
estrogen 74I feel like my estrogen seems a little low... any of the more experienced ladies want to weigh in? @Kaohinani: @yellowbeach:
-
@Sams Mom: Out of curiosity what EMR is it? Dome are the devil, others more tolerable. Glad they are giving you a solid training period. That's a good sign.
@MrsKansas: I'd join and participate in an infertility and/or loss group. I'll probably still post most details on the IVF board, but I probably have some experience to lend to others new to IF and new to working with a RE.
-
@yellowbeach: Cerner (lie and tell me it's tolerable); they recently switched from centricity so I have to train on view only too
-
@Sams Mom: That's what I user at my main job. I like it much better than Epic (my other job).
-
@yellowbeach: good, I've heard terrible thing about the old one (centricity)
-
@mrskansas: I'd join too
-
@LAZB: @yellowbeach: I am happy to create the group but I will need email addresses or names in order to add you. I'll be on here for a bit if you want to post it (and then delete after a min or so) or you can wall me. I'm not sure the best way to do that, so it's up to you guys!
-
@mrskansas: Walled you.
-
@yellowbeach: i replied to you. FB is gonna make it complicated
-
@mrskansas: Can you post the name of the group to allow us to search for it? Or will it still not show?
I've also been taking B6 and B12 and my 9/10 day LP went to 11 last month with less spotting. I got a nice positive OPK tonight and we've been DTD every night before I go to work. We'll see what happens!
filled month for everyone.
