Must. Not. POAS. Yet....

edited July 2014 in TTC after 35
I'm only 9 DPO. I told myself that I was not going to test until 14 DPO (when I typically get AF) with no AF. But here I am, checking my chart to see if there is going to be a triphasic shift soon-- knowing that that will be my "excuse" to POAS before then...

*sigh* Still got my huge cupful of crazy this time around!

Anyone else giving in to temptation of some kind? Coffee? Comfort food? Extra dessert? Massage she can't afford?

    I'm on here instead of ordering office supplies. Does that count?
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    Yes! Online for non-work purposes is DEFINITELY giving in to temptation! :-)

    I think I'm going to go get some chocolate and some sticks to pee on, but leave them a few more days. I am only DPO5 and maybe will test this weekend.
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Ha ha: PEE ON THE STICKS ALL THE TIME! That just totally cracked me up. Especially since I POAS last night and this morning, even though it's way too early.

    Yeah, I did the same thing... and with limited BDing during a crucial time, its highly likely we're a BFN this cycle, but I still peed on a stick this morning.
