@skiierchck99: exciting! Iβm hoping my transfer will be this month too, but af hasnβt started, so Iβm thinking it will be the very beginning of October instead
-
@SweetCaroline: Any more HPTs?
I've been looking forward to seeing another.
When may I add you to the roster as a BFP? π€·ββοΈ -
@Kaohinani: You may add me, thank you!! I'm waiting for a blazing
. I didn't test this AM, planning on tomorrow!
-
@SweetCaroline: So very exciting!

2nd U/S update for month 43 -
β’ This cycle is "low and slow" with Follistim at 25-IU per day so we can slow down my follicular response and, hopefully, ovulate after CD 10.
β’ Today's U/S (at CD 6) showed:
β‘ A 9-mm trilaminar lining
β‘ One 10-mm follie on the RT ovary
β‘ View of LT ovary was obstructed by intestines so we are not sure if follicular growth is present.Bloodwork:
β’ E2 @ 168 (which is consistent for 1-2 follies). It is a better number than my usual E2 numbers of 250-400 at CD6 or 7.
β’ As long as my E2 stays fairly low and I have 3 follies or less at the time of trigger, my IUI is a "go."Instructions:
β’ 25-IU injections tonight and tomorrow
β’ Return for 3rd U/S on Wednesday (CD 8)--- I am remaining hopeful [as always] since it only takes ONE healthy ovum to make for a successful cycle. ---
-
@Kaohinani: Baby steps to get to baby steps... progress is progress.
Can you bump my POAS date to Oct 8 please? Transfer is shaping up to be Oct 1 (ish).
-
@yellowbeach: Thank you!
I love that - "Baby steps to get to BABY steps!" Very poignant. I really believe that with how much time and effort has gone into TTC for #3, when I become pregnant, it will be just that much sweeter to me and special to my family.Oh, and of course, I would be more that happy to update the roster above with your new POAS date.
-
@yellowbeach: thatβs about when my transfer will be!
-
@LAZB: Hey, hun, what are the updates for your transfer? I didn't know it was coming up so soon [for some reason], I thought you and DH were still waiting it out. π€¦ββοΈ #ImSoLost.
-
@Kaohinani: I think you maybe forgot with all you have going on! I updated a week or so ago that we are going to do it next cycle. Not sure of the exact date yet, because I havenβt started AF yet, but it should most likely be the beginning of October
-
@LAZB: I do think I may have missed all of that.
-
@Kaohinani: thanks! I actually hope I have a few extra days just because a transfer October 5 would be much easier than the 2nd, but I canβt really decide so Iβm just going with it!
-
@LAZB: oh so exciting! Having a transfer buddy )even if week if and not same day) is always more fun!
-
Oh my, I have been so busy. I have been able to read along during lunch breaks, but haven't had the time to post. Time has just flown by! I'm still learning, but at least right now I'm enjoying this job a lot more than my last one. (I still don't like getting out of the bed in the mornings, but almost everything else is better.)
I don't know if everyone remembers my crappy update from when I was on vacation in the end of July, but I'm glad to say everything from that list is looking up.
The apartment flood situation has resolved, we had to pay quite a bit out of pocket to the insurance company to fix that one room that got hit the most downstairs, but it could have been sooo much worse. Luckily we had a bit of a reserve for just such occasions and we didn't have to take a loan to fix up a flat that isn't even ours. Now we just have to work the reserve up again.
The car situation is close to a solution too, I'll update in a few days.
As a result of almost being free of the problems above, my SO is also a lot less stressed and things are going great right now. I love the ups between the downs of life!Now to TTC. I think I ovulated, but don't know when. I normally have several days of ewcm, but this cycle I only had one day of that. We we're able to make the most of it, but it's a big difference from my other cycles. I think OV was either Saturday or Sunday, so let's say my POAS date will be 22.09. With my luck I'll get AF right in the beginning of my four day choir trip...
@Kaohinani: Wow, so much has been going on with you too! It's great that you have a solid plan for this cycle, even if it is "low and slow". It must feel great to be doing something that could give the outcome we've all been waiting for!
I'm glad that you got that replacement fridge at last, but what's going on with T now? You said that you home-school her, but is it just for some subjects or is she completely home-schooled now? I'm sure you are a wonderful teacher and will do a splendid job home-schooling her, but did I understand correctly, that she can't go to school anymore because of a bully?@SweetCaroline: Congratulations! Such great news!
-
@Kaohinani: good to hear your updates! I know waiting must be hard right now, but it's nice to have a solid plan to look forward to.
Could I request that my poas date be changed to 9/20? Thanks to this board I updated my ovulation date.
@paranundrum: so glad to hear things are getting back on track! Seems we're having similar problems, came back from vacation to a flooded house and my car has been in the shop for 2 weeks... Ugh! Slowly putting the pieces back together though, so all is ok.
-
@paranundrum: @MoonMoon: I am working at the moment so I can't write too much; however, I will update the roster STAT for you ladies.

@SweetCaroline: Just catching up on your news. Hope you had a good line today. Congratulations!
-
hi All! So I had AF last month but since it was my first month post BC, I'm happy everything worked on time and the timing the Flo app predicted. Since AF just finished, i'm BACK! This time hubby knows the fertile window so I don't have to sneak attack him. Please put me down for POAS on October 7th! That's the day I found out I was pregnant with my now 5 year old daughter. Love for it to be the same date!! Fingers crossed and Babydust to all.
-
@MoonMoon: I'm sorry you have similar problems, but it's good to hear things are working out. I hope we can put all of it behind us within this week, but we'll see. Good luck to you too!
@LiliBillie: I'm sorry about AF, but it's good to hear your cycle is right on track and things are a bit more predictable this time around. I'll update the board. Fingers crossed!

3rd U/S update for month 43 -
β’ Maintaining "low and slow" with Follistim at 25-IU per day so we can slow down my follicular response.
-- This cycle, I have had a longer than usual AF (6 days + one day of spotting). The NP stated that is a good sign so, I'll take it.β’ Today's U/S (at CD 8) showed:
β‘ An unchanged 9-mm trilaminar lining
β‘ One 11.7-mm follie on the RT ovary
β‘ TWO follies (15.4-mm & 12.9-mm) on the LT ovaryBloodwork:
β’ E2 - will receive a call with my numbers this afternoon
β’ As long as my E2 stays fairly low and I have my 3 follies the time of trigger, my IUI is a "go."Instructions:
β’ Until instructed otherwise, I will inject 25-IU Follistim tonight and tomorrow.
β’ Return for 4th U/S on Friday (CD 10) to see if IUI will be Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.I am excited and hoping my E2 numbers are good. Really hopeful.
P.S.
@Paranundrum: Thank you for keeping up while I was busy. You are absolutely the best.
@LiliBillie: While I am sorry to read that your AF showed, I am happy you won't have to play a baby-dancing ninja on your DH this cycle! πΊ π€
@MoonMoon: Thank you! Hoping to see some good news from you this cycle. -
Hi Ladies! Need some advice...AF is 3 days late. We havenβt been trying, but did DTD during my βfertile period,β but with a condom. So, the chance is soooooo low. AF has also been coming early the past couple of cycles, so maybe itβs just resetting? I feel foolish thinking I should test. I certainly donβt feel pregnant. And, I feel like if I buy a test, AF will appear and Iβll just feel silly. What do you think I should do? Wait a few more days?
-
@poppygirl15: I love testing. I always feel so much better even when it is
because I can relax and stop obsessing. What I do is get a cheap test and prepare myself for a and remind myself that I can now focus on what I want to do. So I say go for it!!!!!! Baby dust to you, always. 
-
@poppygirl15: I started making myself wait until AF was 5 days late when not trying. My cycles had also gotten short, but then suddenly got longer. Iβve definitely googled the likelihood of getting pregnant with a condom when Iβm late, because I already got pregnant with an IUD so Iβm extra skeptical!
-
@poppygirl15: Hi, poppygirl!
In any case, I would wait a few days unless the need to test is great ... in that situation, test away and, please, feel free to share your results with us as we are all stoked to see !
-
@kaohinani: @becky: @lilibillie: thank you so much for your kind & thoughtful replies! I think Iβll wait until at least Friday, which was my original plan. Iβll let you know!
-
so.... AF showed up....so I guess my new poas would be 10/9....yep. on to the next one
-
@chypmunk: Oh, bummer!
I am so sorry! I will update the board with your new POAS date. Perhaps, October will be luckier for you. π€
-
I received my call from the RE. My E2 is 272.
My RE wants me to inject the Follistim tonight and come back in tomorrow for another scan. I may trigger Friday or Saturday... It looks like my IUI may be Saturday OR Sunday!!! (*dances
New POAS date for me: the 30th of Sept. -

Congratulations π₯³ to all May moms!
RE: @Mrs.Chickpea: @Maybebaby: @SweetCaroline: -
Well, as I suspected, as soon as I put it out into the universe, AF arrived. I feel fine about it. We werenβt trying for a 3rd and havenβt decided if we even want a 3rd. So, while the idea of the decision of whether to have one being made for me was exciting, it was also terrifying.
-
@poppygirl15: I am glad you finally got your answer. IDK whether or not it was [completely] the one you may have wanted (as you sounded a bit remiss for AF to have arrived) but, atleast, you are no longer in limbo [which is the worst feeling].. Anyway, if you decide to start TTC, I hope you conceive early on with a sticky BFP,... If you and DH choose not to, that is wonderful as well.
-
@yellowbeach: @LAZB: good luck ladies!! Canβt wait to see updates!!
@Kaohinani: good luck on your IUI! Sept 30 fees like a positive date and Iβm superstitious like that lol.
@poppygirl15: itβs nice to just have an answer - sometimes an experience like this can clarify what you were really *hoping* the answer would be??
