cd 23; awaiting AF any day now, I HATE IRREGULAR cycles! this cycle is natural and next month we have our first RE appointment, which I am just stupid nervous about... I hate the initial visit.
I have an obsession with mushrooms and asparagus, I want to put them on or in just about everything!
I like pretty much all produce. Tooooo yummy! The last few weeks I've had a bag of sweet pepper, cucumber, radish, and tomato in my lunch every day. Except today when I forgot my lunch.
Mrs Castillo Dude! you can steam cauliflower and the freeze it? Is there a trick to this? I LOVE mashed cauliflower!
CD 974 (actual time CD40, finished progesterone 2 days ago, this is really pissing me off. No cramps, no sore boobs, no indications whatsoever that AF might show up soon)
Mashed cauliflower, mashed sweet potatoes, grilled asparagus, raw broccoli with ranch. IDK if garlic counts as a veg but I put it in everything.
Cd- I don't care- I'm on Lupron, stop bcps the 20th, should get the crime scene between then and 27th for baseline monitoring.
Favorite vegetable: potatoes, could eat those every freaking night. My favorite preparation though is cubed, tossed in a little bit of olive oil with seasoning (onion, garlic, mustard powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper). Throw that in oven at 425-450 for about 20-25 minutes (convection- longer for conventional) and bam! Yummo!!!

Cycle Status: CD11/1DPO (based on OPK) Had my HSG today, tubes were clear, but the left has some scarring and is in a strange position. First non-progesterone cycle in ages. Benched after CP and waiting for AF to do our first Clomid IUI (second IUI.)
QOTW: what's your favorite kind of vegetable and how do you prepare it. Roasted Asperagus. Yum...

1dpiui, had back to back IUI's Tuesday and Wednesday O'd sometime in between. In the end had one huge follie (30mm) and one that probably wasn't mature (13.5 mm) so not feeling optimistic and have already started lining things up for next cycle to start injectables.
@clagore I'm sorry your feeling out, but it's still early I'm pulling for you. FX
Veggie : hmm hard to choose love mashed butternut squash, and Brussels sprouts pan seated with bacon, but also raw bell peppers I could eat those all day.
TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck
Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man. Born 12/2/11
TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended
Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good. Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.
AF arrived four days early on Monday, maybe from the supplements. I am waiting for DH to have his phone surgical consult with the infertility urologist for his fresh PESA, he seems to be dragging his feet. Then I can schedule my SIS/mock transfer for hopefully next week and get my calendar/schedule for July.
QOTW: Hmm I like green pepper and celery lately, I put both in when I make stir fry and also wok spaghetti.
Wishing everyone well

CD 6, tonight will be my 4th dose of femara. I go back to the RE on Monday for CD 10 monitoring appointment. This is my first IUI with my new RE and their office is so different from my first. The last practice had me in every other day for monitoring and this one only does CD 3 and then CD 10. I didn't have my IUI last cycle until CD 11 so I'm hoping I won't O before then. At least the new practice is saving me $, we have a $60 co-pay!
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
Status: Still benched..... AF showed up today though. Calling the RE tomorrow morning to get in by Monday. Keeping fingers crossed that we are back in the game. Radishes. And celery. It's a toss up. I'd have to say that for the exception of mushrooms and egg plant, I pretty much like all vegetables.
Edit for AF arrival.

April/May 2014- Benched due to cysts/enlarged ovaries
CD: I dunno. Seriously, every time I thought it was CD1 because I would have a massive flow and then nadda for another day or some spotting. Ugh. Maybe CD 2, maybe CD 6 or somewhere in between. Have an appointment to get checked out tomorrow morning as it's just been bizarre. Cramping is different too.
Vegetables: carrots and prefer raw but really will eat them however.
