I had betas Monday and my hcg is already back to zero. I’ve been feeling like O is coming soon, so I took an OPK today and it was positive. I’m so amazed at how fast my body has returned to “normal”.
-
@Jessiemuller88: Wow! That’s about the best news in a crappy scenario like what you’ve gone through.
-
@yellowbeach: glad everything went well, and as weird as it sounds, that they found something that could be a contributing factor.
@Jessiemuller88: that is great news that you bounce back so quickly. I mean, sucky scenario, but glad everything went well.
-
@Jessiemuller88: That is AWESOME! I don't know what your plans are for this next cycle but, whatever they are, good luck
and I am so glad that your body is back to it's homeostasis and ready to go.

@Sams Mom: Did you receive all of the links? Were they copacetic for your research?
-
@Kaohinani: @Yellowbeach: @Sams Mom: thank you ladies. I don’t know why, but it brought me some comfort. We are not going to ttc for at least 2 cycles. I go back to my RE on Feb. 12th to get a game plan for the future. I also made DH get his swimmers tested, so we will see what his results yield.
-
@Kaohinani: I did
-
@Sams Mom: Wonderful. I wasn't certain if you needed anything else. Or anything more specific. For the time I had, those were the creme de la creme.
-
@Kaohinani: You’ll appreciate this - when I showed up for my appointment with my RE he started by handing me the below...
-
Holy toddler teeth grinding Batman! I know it's not POAS, but holy crap child!
-
@yellowbeach: I LOVE it! That is one good RE.
@Sams Mom: G has terrible bruxism as well (* he takes after me). It became so bad he was waking up with blood everywhere. Since bite/grind guards are not really available (or advised) for toddler and preschool-aged children for night use, our dentist said this was one rare case when a pacifier was okay. So, at 2 years old, we had to re-introduce the paci. G still uses it at bed although I know we will have to wean it soon. By 5/6 years of age, he can have a grind guard fitted.
-
@Kaohinani: Sam was never a binkie baby much to my dismay
I will but some of the larger bunnies and see if it helps. Button style or Phillips Avent style?
-
14 dpo - 2/3 days before AF.
Here's my chart since it isn't my POAS date yet ... -
@Sams Mom: The dentist said to make certain they are specified for 18+ mos (harder nipple) and are orthodontic. G seems to like these and his grinding is far less although he still grinds tiny holes into them. We replace them weekly.

@Kaohinani: awesome, I'll try some out, thank you
AFM: Here is my chart, on the climb finally
-
@Sams Mom: Beautiful!
I am surprised my temps are still rising. I keep waiting for them to start dropping. 🤔 Perhaps, it will be like last cycle where they stayed elevated until the day before and then plummet .60 the day AF shows? I am so used to years of s-l-o-w descents starting around 10 to 12 dpo. My "new normal," perhaps? 🤷♀️
-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: Wow, both of your charts look amazing! I have high hopes for you two!
My SO and I have agreed to try on our own for one more cycle and then go seek some help again. He doesn't want to go, but we obviously can't do it on our own. He didn't have any alternatives either so we compromised on one more try.
-
@paranundrum: Thank you.
I am glad to hear (read) that you and your SO have been able to reach a compromise! That is fantastic news! -
@Kaohinani: I think I'll use a combo OSOM tomorrow 🤷♀️
-
@paranundrum: that's exciting! I mean I'm digging my heels in over here over going to an RE... But new plans and testing do provide for better chances
-
@Sams Mom: My fingers 🤞 and toes
!
-
@Kaohinani: I just went looking for the percentages like you had in your screenshot. Hopefully the next couple days ups the percentage of pregnancy charts like mine
-
@Sams Mom: Looking good, mama!
I always take the percentages with a grain of salt as they don't take into consideration:
(1) exact fluctuations, (2) medications, (3) if it is "normal" for a woman to have a cycle like presented or not, (4) if a cycle includes all markers for pregnancy (like I have an ID and triphasic) but I have had cycles with 2 dips, triphasic AND higher temps that had lower probability for pregnancy (doesn't make sense), and, (5) FF can only use what they are given by consumers to compare and use for their statistical results... the pool and criteria changes frequently.
Honestly, I just like seeing that (in a small pool of women, nationally) my chances "look decent," especially when my pregnancy numbers (pool size and percentage) is SO much higher than ovulatory numbers. (An example is this cycle look at the pregnancy vs ovulatory chart numbers and percentages.) It keeps me hopeful --- until AF arrives. -
Update on the hysteroscopy results yesterday... my RE nurse wrote back and clarified that while he did see and remove an adhesion, it was small and probably not the cause of our issues, although certainly not helping. We are still going to move forward with a 2nd retrieval cycle after this one. We'll transfer at least one of our remaining 2 embryos from "the bad batch" during that cycle since the new ones we get will be awaiting PGS testing and results. I'm leaning towards two this time for the first time ever. I feel like that last little embie, the runt of the litter, deserves a chance to join our family. And sometimes it's the underdog that proves strongest. I'll jump on as a cheerleader for Feb POAS, and we'll likely start our IVF cycle Feb 20/21 with a March POAS date.
-
@yellowbeach: That is A LOT of good information. I love your plan, though!
So much hope for you moving forward...

So. Hungry. Today!
Actually, I've been hungry the last couple days but today - FAMISHED! 🤤
Progesterone is a nasty thing at times. -
@yellowbeach: sounds like a plan lady! So hypothetical, and you might not even be this far yet, but if a baby takes this next cycle, and you've already done retrieval #2... More babies? I guess what I'm asking is, what is you guy's number? Or, like me it's the get baby #2 and then we'll see thing.
ETA: you can tell me to pound dirt too. I just have a fascination with ART/IVF
@Kaohinani: eat all the foods! I'm going on my first gluten free, red meat free-ish, less dairy, more leafy vegetable shopping trip this evening 🤢
-
@Sams Mom: Oooh, that is so exciting (maybe not for you but I have lived life GF for soooooooo many years and have gone ketogenic thrice)! Email me if you have any questions as you shop ... I can totally help.
-
@Sams Mom: I’m 1/2 and DH is 1/4. I’m not opposed to stopping at just 2, but have to get to #2 before #3, right?
-
@yellowbeach: k, I'm a ding dong. Is that you're 1 of 2 kids and hubby is 1 of 4? Or how many kids beyond the 1 you want 🤦♀️
-
@Sams Mom: Yep you read it right - I have 1 sister and his is 1 of 4 boys in his family. I'd like 2 and could be happy there all things considered, but not opposed to 3, maybe 4 if I were to get greedy.
-
@Jessiemuller88: I'm so happy your body is recovering quickly!
@Sams Mom: so excited for you!
@yellowbeach: love your plan and will be rooting so hard for you!
-
@Kaohinani: don't feel like I forgot you while shopping. I put it off and got Chick-fil-A on a gluten free bun... That counts, right?
-
@Kaohinani: Thanks for checking in a couple days back! TWW is a lot different once you're busy with kid #1! The past 6 days both flew and crawled by! Work has been super busy, so that's kept my mind occupied.
-
@SweetCaroline: I'm testing even though there won't be anything even if I am pregnant
-
@Sams Mom: well I'm over here all like "Well if Sam's Mom is doing it...I kind of have a lot of Wondfos and I feel like their expiration date is looming...
You haven't done any special photo editing lately...you definitely need POAS for some good material... 🤣
-
@SweetCaroline: how many dpo will you be in the morning
-
@Sams Mom: only 7. I should just grab the stick out of package and throw it in the garbage, right? Sheesh...I totally need to wait until at least Sunday...
-
@SweetCaroline: I cannot pass judgement on what I myself have done 🤷♀️🤣
and I am so glad that your body is back to it's homeostasis and ready to go.
