Cycle Day

Found out on Monday that our IVF cycle failed.  Didn't produce any normal embryos :-(  

Now we have to wait until later this month to meet with the dr again to possibly start a second cycle.

So I'm between cycles in a sort of no man's land.  I'm even on BCP to keep my endo under control.  I keep thinking "I'm on BCP so I can get pregnant."  It's very strange.

How are you feeling? 

Numb, sad, angry, exhausted.

QOTW: Have you read any good books lately? 

I read a book last night about improving egg quality - ha!  It wasn't very good though, I'm afraid.

 Heather, MN, 40

Status (TTC#__, how long, etc.)

TTC #2 for a while (stopped breastfeeding in March 2014)

Cycle Day

CD 1 or 2 - I'm not actually sure.  My period usually just starts and that's CD1.  Yesterday, I thought it had started, but I think it was just spotting.  I'm going to ask my RE tomorrow when I go in if I should consider today CD1 instead.  

What are you doing this cycle? (natural, meds, IUI/IVF, etc)

IUI #6.  Hopefully the lucky one...

How are you feeling? 

Better today than yesterday..

QOTW: Have you read any good books lately? 

I liked "What Alice Forgot" and "The Girl on the Train."  Did you read "It starts with the Egg" @SaltyStar09?

Lost in Life, Ohio, 40

TTC#1 since 2012

CD11

IUI#3 I had my ultrasound today I have two good sized eggs and my lining looks good.

How are you feeling? Over whelmed, I'm a teacher so I am trying to get ready for the school year and then this being the 3rd IUI cycle I'm already beginning to wonder if this doesn't work what then, because my RE only does 3 rounds of IUI and then recommends IVF.

I just finished the book The Lost Wife  - which I enjoyed reading.

TTC#1, actively 1yr (no goalie 2yrs), one blocked tube

Cycle Day 19

What are you doing this cycle? Trying naturally. End of first week of TWW.

How are you feeling? Tired. Slight cramping today - very slight. Have felt very slightly nauseated since Tuesday, but I think that's from vitex. Like every month, I read about early PG symptoms online and am convinced I have them. And I'll probably test if AF is even a day late.

QOTW: Have not read a non-work related book in a while.
