DOR/POF check in (revived!)

Manada

*disclaimer: I can't promise to keep up this post alone as I am both moving houses next week and may be stopping TTC after this cycle... That said lets try it now and feel free to volunteer to pick it up as well!

Please post:
1) your screen name
2) where are you at in the process? (Currently cycling, on a break, pregnant, etc...)
3) which cycle are you on?
4) Your update
5) QOTW: How do you survive and maintain your sanity through the unknowns of working with DOR/POF

@Manada, thanks for starting this up again! I'd be happy to help if needed too  

1) your screen name Curlylocks3
2) where are you at in the process? (Currently cycling, on a break, pregnant, etc...) Prepping for FET #1
3) which cycle are you on? 24. I think.
4) Your update I had my final monitoring appointment today. Not feeling great about my lining thickness but trying to stay hopeful because my RE seems confident and its trilaminar
5) QOTW: How do you survive and maintain your sanity through the unknowns of working with DOR/POF I wish I had an answer for this. Many days I feel like I'm just treading water, not actually accomplishing much.

2) Currently in the 2ww, beta date will be Oct 5.

3) This was cycle 6 for us, a double iui cycle...  and probably the last one for me.  

4)  I had great success this cycle with a Clomid (100mg) and Menopur (75iu CD 5-11) - and by great success I mean we had 2 good mature follicles, and a couple of smaller ones.   We almost had 3 good ones, but the 3rd quit growing on us around CD 10.   I was super encouraged to see a response though, the hardest part of DOR for me has been feeling like there was nothing I
could do about it...

5)  QOTW:   I RESEARCH.  I find the only way I can feel a bit more control is to research the heck out of what is going on, how the meds work, and anything else I can think of.  I find it helps me communicate with the doc more and makes me feel more entitled to demand answers around test results so I can track any progress.     That and I have started using the massage chairs in the clinic often when we're waiting for the doc.  

Does anyone want to volunteer to post the check-in again next week?

I can do it- I'll just be on the couch after my FET
