  • So sorry girl. Still no AF here and another BFN
  • Booooo for AF!  I'm sorry.  


  • Thanks everyone. I went out and jogged a 5K, got that iced caramel macchiato I've been avoiding for a month, and shopped. Here's hoping for next month! (For all of us!)
  • I'm sorry @Carazona5 - but it sounds like you made the most of your day.  Good for you!!   :D

    7/2013 - Sweet baby girl born (Clomid + TI)
    3/2014 - TTC #2, return to RE 7/2014
    12/2015: IVF #1 transferred two great looking embryos - BFP!
    First ultrasound: TWO beautiful little heartbeats!!
    Harmony: negative; level 2: babies look great and are boy/girl! :) 
  • Now I'm feeling a Starbucks run in my future.
  • Man half my posts keep disappearing and I'm trying to change my avatar.
  • I am sorry about the BFN. But that sounds like a perfect way to cope with it. Hope the drink was delish!
  • @Carazona5 - you inspired me.  Not to run, unfortunately, but I did go get a tall (I wanted a Venti) mocha with coconut milk from Starbucks after my ultrasound this morning showed about 8 cysts, including one that was 1.5 times the size of a normal ovary (and there were several others in that ovary) - AWESOME.  The Starbucks did make me feel a little better, actually! :)

  • @emsmama15 oh no!! Does that mean you are benched for another cycle?

  • Cysts are horrible! I had one in my right ovary the size of a softball and because it twisted my fallopian tube and cut off the blood supply, they had to remove my right ovary and fallopian tube. Gotta love PCOS...and now I only have one ovary to count on. Sorry about what you're going through @emsmama15 . Positive vibes coming your way!

    Oh no, I'm so sorry about that :( but glad you got a Starbucks... You definitely deserved one after that! I love that they have a coconut milk option now. I don't drink regular milk and soy isn't the best to have so - finally!

  • @emsmama15 -- Oh no. I am really sorry about the cysts. Does this mean you will go on OCPs again?

  • @jilligan14 and @dolphin012 - yes, another month break.  This is starting to drive me freaking CRAZY!!!!  I decided on the OCPs again because (1) there is just so little chance we could get pregnant on our own and (2) my natural cycle last time I did it (in March) was 42 days long, with BCPs, I can go in again in 21 days and start my next cycle.

    Thanks @rowennagal!  PCOS sucks...
