Re: TWW post (week of 6/29 - 7/6)

  • I'm hoping to finally join this check-in this week!  I had my monitoring ultrasound yesterday and my four follicles were the exact sizes as last month when I over-stimmed.  EEK!  So, we decreased my Gonal and I'm going in this morning, and probably tomorrow morning.  I'm nervous!!

  • I'm 5 dpo. No symptoms, but I'm trying not to obsess this cycle. If I can hold out, I'll test on Saturday, which is 10 dpo and the day FF predicts AF. Plus if it's a BFP we can celebrate with fireworks. :)

    Not sure how I feel this round. Our timing was exceptionally good, and my temps are looking good, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up, because I don't want to be too disappointed if it didn't happen.

    Good luck this morning @emsmama15!

  • I'm CD33, 13dpo. Had an inconclusive test this morning (you can see my other post) so just waiting to test again tomorrow. Having TONS of symptoms: nausea, headaches, bloated, cramps, sore/tender breasts, moodiness, etc. But I'm also taking progesterone so can't say for sure if these are real symptoms or not. I'm just dying to know what's going on with this cycle!!!

    Good luck @emsmama15! I know you've waited a long time to get back on track with trying. My fingers are crossed for you!!

  • CD15, 3DPO

    Symptom: impatience

    I had hoped to test on July 4th, but since I ovulated later than usual (which is actually great), I'll only be 8DPO by then. That seems too early, but maybe I'll decide to go for it anyway.  We'll see.

    No matter what happens this month, I'm totally thrilled that my temps look normal for the first time since the d&c.

    If anyone knows how to time travel, let me know. This wait is for the birds.

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

  • I'm checking in here just because I'm already not sure what's going on with me this cycle.  On cd5 I had ewcm and spotting then a huge temp dip on cd6 and a rise on cd7 and today.  I'm only cd8 but my temp is up in the post o range so we'll see what tomorrow brings.  I've never had ewcm so early in my cycle.  Hmmm, if I did o on cd6 then our timing was astronomical, but if my temp drops tomorrow then I'll know it was a fluke.

    @jilligan14 - I have everything crossed for you.  Hopefully you'll get a clear answer soon!

    @emsmamma15 - wishing all the good luck!

  • I am 5 days past my day 3 transfer -- so i guess that can be considered 8dpo. I am on PIO shots so have some progesterone related symptoms- mainly i can get randomly drowsy and sometimes get lower backaches. Can't say i have gotten use to giving myself the pio shots yet like the subq ones, but so it goes. Overall doing well. My beta blood draw is a week from this thursday, so  a ways to go!
