Somehow I missed the start of this thread! Thanks for starting it, @littlek: .
Cycle: 10 (I can't believe I've gotten to this point...)
Chart: Don't know how to share. I'm on my second month of temping and its the most ridiculous thing I've ever done.POAS/AF date: March 15. I won't be POAS anymore. Its clearly been a waste of money for me.
Do you participate in March Madness brackets? No.

@mrs. tictactoe: FX for your test this weekend!
@sandy: boo about your spotting. I too have heard of ovulation spotting, but never experienced it myself.
@CupQuakeWalk: really hoping the timing works out for you!
@littlek: a cupcake gender reveal for co-workers? That seems a bit much, but maybe your office is a lot closer than mine!
@buttermilk: good luck with hitting the day after O this month! We always try to, since O+1 is one of the days FF scores you on in their Timing Analyzer
@MrsMcD: I am impressed by your resolve not to test anymore (says as I'm POAS'ing everyday at only 3DPO to test out my HCG trigger...no restraint here, but then, I'm only using wondfos). If you want to share your chart, in FF along the top drop down navigation go to Sharing > View, and it will take you to the page you can share. Just copy the URL from that page, e.g. http://www. fertilityfriend. com/home/YOURNAME

@buttermilk: I have just started to feel the exact same way about not BDing long enough after O. I am going to try the same thing as you this month. Honestly, we can't be sure when we ovulate so it will just be best to keep the BDing up for a few days longer than normal. Best of luck to you!
-
@Sprite: You are so funny about the POAS. I would be the exact same way except I am too cheap. I only like digital HPTs and I was spending about $20+ a month on them. Too much. I'm done. Once DH caught me in the morning and he was all happy, "Did you miss you period?" And I'm like.... "no... its not due for 5 more days." He thinks I'm so lame sometimes.
-
@MrsMcD: I always test in secret from DH because it is all waaaay too confusing for him. he doesn't understand any of the timing pieces of TTC so he just knows that one day I tell him we need to start scheduling sex, one day I tell him we're done, and one day I will start crying about the results.
-
@bhbee: I think that's a great process you have going with your DH.
-
@MrsMcD: cut to the chase right??
I have to give him credit for being a good sport. I think in all honesty he is happier to not be involved in the crazy details I spend my time thinking about.
-
I just sent DH calendar invites for BD. I'm not sure if this is pathetic or brilliant. I had to be careful because DH and my boss have the same name.
-
@littlek: that. is. hilarious. I love it! (as long as you don't accidentally send it to your boss)
-
@ShayNanigans: he's only accepted 2 of the 4.. WTF
-
Cycle: 17 yikes!
Chart: no charting, I was so tired of it!
POAS/AF date: TBA. I have an IVF transfer scheduled for this Friday, so I'll know my test date after that.
Do you participate in March Madness brackets? If so, who do you cheer for? I barely know what basketball is, sooooooo no - no March madness for me! -
@littlek: @ShayNanigans: hahaha, he's playing hard to get
-
@ShayNanigans: YAY for IVF!! FX!!!!!
-
@littlek: He doesn't want you to think he's a sure thing!
-
@mrs. tictactoe: We were finally ready for it - and now that it's here, it really hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be!
-
@ShayNanigans: aghhhh I'm so excited for you!!!!!
-
@ShayNanigans: that's awesome. Lots of sticky baby dust coming your way!!
-
@ShayNanigans: fx for you!!!
@littlek: I think it's brilliant and adorable
-
@ShayNanigans: congratulations on making that huge decision! Wishing you the BEST of luck!!!! Sending you so much sticky dust!!
-
@littlek: bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha OMG you too are cute
-
@littlek: I vote genius.
-
@ShayNanigans: Hooray for the IVF! Is this your first time?
-
@MrsMcD: Yes! First and likely only (at least fresh.) This is the last treatment that my insurance will pay for, so anything further will be out of pocket. Plus, we are pretty exhausted from TTC! Hopefully, we will have a couple leftovers to freeze, in case we decide to do a FET later on, but... that's all still up in the air! Right now, we have 6 embryos that are still alive and growing, so I am not sure if they will all make it to freeze!
-
@ShayNanigans: Oh my gosh! So you have already had egg retrieval?!? Six is a great number to be at right now. This is so exciting!!! Do you know how many you want to put back in? Is that too personal of a question? My sister did IVF so I feel like I know so much about it. I am really praying that this works out for you.
-
Officially out. AF is here. I'm a mess.
-
@MrsMcD: Pretty sure we're going to transfer two. We really want two kids, and it has been so hard to have the first one, we might as well just go for it. Our RE has a negligible triplets rate, so we aren't worried about that. Transfer's tomorrow! Still waiting for the phone call with final instructions from the RE though. Inbetween my daily RE phone calls, I am always scared that our embryos will have all died. So nervewracking. Hopefully, there are still there and ready for tomorrow! Eep.
@mrs. tictactoe: Oh gosh - I am so sorry!!
-
@mrs. tictactoe: oh no...I'm so sorry
-
@ShayNanigans: Oh that is so exciting!!!!!!!!!! Transferring two embryos sounds like a great plan. And keeping thinking positive. I'm so excited for you! And really... stay on bed rest for three or four days straight after the transfer. Is that what you are planning to do?
-
@mrs. tictactoe: So sorry, lady. Now you have a fresh start!
-
@mrs. tictactoe: I'm so sorry. Big hugs
-
@ShayNanigans: I'm so excited for you!!!!
-
@sandy: How are you doing? did your spotting stop?
-
@MrsMcD: Yes! I am so glad that it worked out to be on a Friday. I will be going to bedrest right after the transfer, and keeping my booty planted until going back to work on Monday!
-
So, DH had his semen analysis today. Poor guy. It's weird because they don't call you unless something is "off" so I'm living with my phone next to me for a call that may not happen (fingers crossed no call). I'm currently CD20, possibly 6 DPO. Definitely not feeling pregnant, so just waiting for AF's arrival next week.
-
@mrs. tictactoe:
Hugs, lady -
@littlek: Oh wow! I'm always interested in these kinds of tests because I see myself needing the same in the next few months.
So will the SA lab people call you, or your husband, with his results? Also, it seems like people talk about numbers with respect to SA results. Can you somehow figure out those numbers if you want them?
And don't give up hope yet at 6 dpo! The majority of girls do not feel any symptoms during the TWW!!!!!!!
-
@MrsMcD: they only call if there is an issue with his sample. if it's normal, the results go right in his file.... annoying!
I still have some more CD3 testing to complete once AF shows. THEN we can move on to treatment.
-
@littlek: Then I guess no news is good news. Gees. Can I ask why you are moving on to treatments after seven months TTC? My lame insurance makes me wait 12 months.
-
@MrsMcD: I'm 35.
-
@littlek: haha, love the calendar requests...and his sense of humour!
I have to give him credit for being a good sport. I think in all honesty he is happier to not be involved in the crazy details I spend my time thinking about.
