Shoutout to my girl @adirat on her RE appointment today!  Good luck and we can't wait to hear how it went!

Month/Cycle: 8/11

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: 

R/R: I'm having one of those days where I'm just feeling sorry for myself so read at your own risk.  

Before my HSG appointment last week, they require you to pee in a cup to take a pregnancy test.  I got a notification of a new test result in the hospital's online system this morning so I thought maybe it was the official HSG results.  When I checked, it was to let me know the test was negative and even though I knew that would be the result, I hated actually seeing that.  Sometimes I almost want to just "relax and see what happens" (or NTNP as we would say) but I want this way too bad to not try everything I can to give myself the best possible chance....even if nearly half of the cycles I've been trying have been anovulatory.  I'm just sick of the whole getting jealous over random pregnant women and wondering why several of my friends can seem to get KU without an issue but here I am still trying like crazy with no results.  This whole process is a ton harder than I ever thought it would be and has definitely taken a huge emotional toll on me.  I just keep hoping that my worst fears aren't coming true and that I am able to get KU.  Sorry for the dear diary, I just really needed to get this out.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What was the #1 movie on the day you were born (https://playback.fm/birthday-movie)?  Private Benjamin.  I've never seen the whole thing but have seen bits and pieces here and there.

Tootsie was the #1 movie on the day I was born (which was also during my mother's baby shower  )


Not gonna fully participate in this thread today because it's pointless with whatever my body is doing, but wanted to make sure everyone is taking Vitamin D in addition to a prenatal Vitamin no matter if you are TTA, in WTO, TWW, or KU. I got info from the OB/Gyn. Would have been nice to get before the fact.

@NYTino24 I'm so sorry your body is being a jerk.  Thank you so much for the information on vitamin D, looks like I have some research to do on another vitamin to add to my growing list!

@adirat good luck on your RE spot today!

@lulu1180 I feel ya on that fear.  And I get so many helpful ideas from acquaintances that it could be my age that's the problem. Thanks people.

Thanks for all the love yesterday guys, it made me feel better. I am feeling low but better today.

WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, OPKs, PNVs

R/R: I am gonna try not to drink this week. I did well Sunday, yesterday I needed a drink after that patient died, but I only had 1 when usually after a day like that I would have 2, so feeling good! Today is all about water water water water.

LoveInDC

@lulu1180 - I hope your day gets better! I won't even pretend to know what you're going through, but I'm offering creepy internet hugs anyway.

@adirat - Good luck today!

@NYTino24 - Thanks for the vitamin D info! Without a steady obgyn, I feel like I'm so lost for some of these things. It's nice to have some guidance from trusted sources

@kiwi - I'm sorry for your patient yesterday, but I'm happy to hear you're handling it better than you expected. FX that today is a better day.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, tracking CM and symptoms. I want to add BBT, but that isn't working for me.

R/R: Rant/Rave - DH stayed home with his man cold today. So yay my DH is home with me. Not so yay is needing to take care of a sick DH. I made homemade chicken noodle yesterday. Today is beef stew day. Did I mention I don't like either? Man cold, be gone!

CS/Q: So when you temp, you're supposed to have 3 solid hours of sleep right? And you're supposed to temp the same time every day +/-30 minutes? Because that is never going to happen for me. DH gets up at 4:30 every day and wakes me up. 5:30 to say goodbye. 7:30 my alarm goes off. Which is fine, I'll just temp at 4:30. But goddammit if I haven't woken up between 2 and 3 AM every night since I got this termometer. At what point do you just give up temping for the cycle? /rant

GTKY: The Fugitive I'll take it!

KariAnn323

@lulu1180 All the creepy internet hugs! Don't worry you're not the only one. *TW* I have a friend who has smoked and drank during each of her five pregnancies and came home with a perfectly healthy baby each time. I love her and I try not to pass judgement on her parenting skills (or lack there of), but whenever I see her I usually want to scream that it's not fair. *End TW*

@NYTino24 I'm sorry your body is being a TW. The cycle after a loss is the worst. Whether you start TTC right away or not you just want it to at least go back to normal so you can figure out WTF is going on. Lots of love and hugs.

@adirat GL at your RE appt!

Month/Cycle: 5/5 (2 AL)

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, CM, and HIO ED-EOD during FW

R/R: Rave: Tons of EWCM yesterday! Possible temp jump today (yesterday was 97.1 I thought I read 97.28 this morning but when I went to double check later it said the last reading was 97.7 so we'll just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow). I'm hoping the temp jump is real, we're going out of town Thursday afternoon to a convention in the middle of no where WI. We're sharing a room because when we booked I thought I was a super special snowflake and obviously I would be KU by now. Rant: Just ready for Thursday so I can go on vacation.

CS/Q:  Nothing today

GTKY: What was the #1 movie on the day you were born (https://playback.fm/birthday-movie)? Biloxi Blues - I've never even heard of it

aggo

@lulu1180 I can see how that would be really frustrating, and I'm so sorry you're going through all of that

@kiwi2628 glad you're feeling better today, hope today is a great day at work

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNV, fish oil, HIO (*TMI* unprotected for the first time ever, was definitely an interesting experience for us both, especially since I stayed celibate until our wedding and have been trying to get used to it anyway - attempting a baby should definitely help that!), light temping/charting. I want to know what's going on with my cycle but don't want to stress too much yet. 

R/R:
Rave: Because of this wonderful board and the crazy smart people on it, I decided to ask my dr for prescription PNVs and I'm sooo happy I did! They were FREE because insurance covers them, I know they have all the vitamins I'm supposed to have, and they are easier to take than the ones I was originally using. AMAZING. 
Rant: Wisdom teeth removal day has finally come. I'm pretty bummed about it

CS/Q:  none

Hard to Kill...never heard of it!

lulu1180

@purplg8r I'm pretty sure my age is exactly why I'm not KU yet.  I'm well into AMA territory, I produce very little CM and feel like my egg quality is very low (although my RE hasn't ordered CD3 b/w yet to verify) which is why I am looking into adding a supplement that is supposed to help with egg quality and balancing hormones.  I remember when I voiced that fear to my mom several years ago and her response was "God wouldn't do that to you."  I really want to smack her for that response because "God does that" to some really amazing women.

@kiwi2628 I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a little better today.  When you're feeling down, just remember


@LoveInDC I wouldn't give up on temping too quick.  I would give it at least one full cycle and if you have trouble seeing the temp shift then maybe stop.  I've heard some people are still able to see a temp shift with situations like yours.  

LoveInDC

@lulu1180 - That's the thing, I haven't taken my temp at all! I don't know when I should. I keep saying "Tonight was a fluke. I don't want bad data in there. I'll just temp tomorrow when I sleep though the night." And then I don't. Should I temp at 4:30 whether I've had an hour of sleep or three? Or should I temp when I've had 3 hours of sleep regardless of what time it is? I'm so confused! 

kiwi2628

@adirat good luck!

@lulu1180 I totally get your rant. I feel the same way about 'why her and not me'. Big hugs

@NYTino24 sorry your body is being a TW

lulu1180

@LoveInDC I would just start tomorrow and take it at 4:30 if that is your normal waking time.  I would just make sure to temp as soon as you wake up, do not lay there for several minutes, do not hit snooze, do not pass go, do not collect $200 lol.  Seriously though, when I started temping, I would hit snooze and then take my temp when my alarm went off again and my temps were really rocky; I noticed when I stopped hitting snooze that they were a lot less rocky barring a night of bad sleep.

hartmich

@lulu1180 Hugs. I totally get you. The more that cycle count ticks up, the worse my mental state gets. I used to be an "everything happens for a reason" girl, but this process totally messes with that and I struggle with it every day. Going off what your mom said, I question my faith in God constantly now because of all of this, and I hate that I'm in that place. Remember, some days are just going to be really bad days, but you can get through it to the next one, that's hopefully a little better. It's a rollercoaster but we're here for you! 

@adirat Good luck today! 

@nytino24 thanks for the link on Vitamin D. 

Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD: 1 (womp womp)

WAYDTGKU: more IF testing

R/R: At least a new cycle means we can move forward with testing, and I was able to schedule my CD 3 stuff.

CS/Q:  Nope

GTKY:  The Witches of Eastwick

kaitlink33

Month/Cycle: 3/3 after break

CD:  4

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: nothing so far except I got next to no sleep yesterday and was trying hard not to fall asleep at work last night so I'm trying to will myself to stay up and get something done since it's my day off, but I just don't see that happening.

CS/Q:  guys, this is kind of really TMI but idk wtf is going on with my stupid body. I use a menstrual cup instead of tampons and after 12 hours I took it out this morning (like you're supposed to) and there wasn't any blood just some brown liquid. It didn't look like brown blood though and when I wiped there was ewcm.....should I be worried about an infection or something? 

GTKY: What was the #1 movie on the day you were born (https://playback.fm/birthday-movie)? 
Something called cb4???

WildMagelet

@lulu1180 - Sorry about the rough start to your day  I used be a POAS junkie every time my cycle would go long until one day I just decided I couldn't take the heartache anymore.

@kiwi2628 - I hope today is better than yesterday!

Month/Cycle: 19/18

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: All the things

R/R:  Morning sucks so far.  As predicated, DH was gone when I got up.  This week of class is kicking my ass already,  I know it's a condensed course but really reading, taking notes, and studying 4 textbook chapters sounds awful.  I was up until midnight last night working on it and only made it through half of the first chapter.  To top it off, I think I'm going to have to cancel one of our employee benefit fundraisers as work because after researching it further, I'm starting to think its NOT covered by our charitable raffle license and our state is one of like 3 in the union that doesn't make exceptions for work fundraisers.  I'm going to call the county this morning to make sure  On the bright side we didn't start until yesterday so giving everybody their donations back should be simple and painless.

CS/Q:  

GTKY: What was the #1 movie on the day you were born (https://playback.fm/birthday-movie)?  Some movie called "The Fly".  I haven't seen it, but I imagine it's one of those B-movies about giant bugs.

mispanda

@lulu1180 cheer up  It's ok to have those feelings and just know your not alone.
@NYTino24 thanks for the vitamin D info!  I always just assumed the prenatal vitamins gave enough vitamin D.  I'll have to research for a new one to add to my morning.
@kiwi2628 glad you're feeling better today!
@LoveInDC could you set an alarm to temp at 2 or 3am?
@KariAnn323 my thermometers 'setting' is at 97.7 so just be careful.  I know if I go back in the morning to check my previous temp it only shows it for like a second and then turns to 97.7.  Yours could be different I just wanted to let you know
@ag90 good luck today!


Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPK, EOD, Preseed when needed.

R/R: I'm drinking somewhat warm coffee. My DD slept thru the night and it was glorious.

CS/Q:  Do you let your thermometer tell you when to change the battery or do you change it before that?  I've had the same one for 10 months and I feel like its slowly starting to take twice the time it use to, yet the instructions say it will tell me when it needs a new battery.....

GTKY: What was the #1 movie on the day you were born? Platoon, I've never seen it.

NYTino24

@BusinessWife you should double up on the D when you get back in the game, FWIM? 

LoveInDC

Thanks @lulu1180! Hopefully, I can get some sleep this week and make it happen.

@mispanda - I really really hope it doesn't come to that. I would suck for me and DH having an alarm go off that early. Hopefully my body can get in order and I can sleep through the night again soon!

crazypuglady

@Lulu1180- Aww girl, sorry you're having a rough TTC day. I think we can all relate to how you feel in a sense because we all have those fears. I'm sorry you've been trying so long. I know it's hard to be positive, but try to keep your chin up. One day this will all be behind you.

@LoveInDC -Ugh... sorry for the man-cold. As far as the temping goes- yes, 3 hours of sleep, and I believe I read temp within 1 hour to be consistent. But, I also think it depends on the person. I noticed that I can temp with a little more leeway and probably trust my temps. I've gotten up to get my dog (who likes to bark in the middle of the night) and gone back to be- temp at 4:30 and have it be "normal". But that's me. I also noticed drinking doesn't really affect my temps. Travel on the other hand.. Even if I'm spot-on every day, travel messes with it big time for me.
PS- I love The Fugitive!

@Ag90- Good luck with your wisdom teeth today. You'll do just fine!



Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: The usual

R/R: Didn't think DH would be up for BD last night... but we managed. I think we're both getting a little burnt out. We had a little chat about needing to continue. I think he finally understands that as tireing as it is to him to keep forcing it when he's not in the mood, it's equally as frustrating to me when my body is sending all the signals, yet not ovulating. He knows it's important to me, and he's really trying to give it a good go this month. Hopefully something happens soon.

CS/Q:  Same old same old. Sigh.

@crazypuglady - Your experience makes me feel so much better! I need to cut down on my BSC, I'm just worried about getting it wrong.

@LuND - Hugs for CD1. Take care of you today!

ETA: @hartmich I missed you were CD1 today too. Boo hiss. Have a glass of wine for us!

sbarluccico

@lulu1180I can relate way too much to what you wrote. I always thought I'd be chilled and NTNP (rather than actively TTC) as soon as we'd decide to TTC. Then we got closer to when we wanted to try and I started getting stressed that we wouldn't be able to make it (*TW* around the same time, I found out SIL had struggled to GP due to her H's MFI, which made my anxiety worse *end TW*). Now that we have been trying for a few months without success, I really fear for the worst. Even though I secretly hoped my fear would come to nothing, I am starting to come to terms with the fact that they are most likely becoming true.

@NYTino24 thanks for the link! I had actually just come across some articles linking vit D with better fertility for women and better sperm for men, so I might give it a try! 

@LoveInDC I second what @lulu1180 said about temping. I was convinced it was not for me/I couldn't do it but I am glad I tried one full cycle and now it will be hard to give it up. The insight is amazing. 

Sorry for CD1 @hartmich , I am glad you can move on with testing though

@kaitlink33 What is your 'blood pattern' usually? I am asking because I 2 days heavy, then 1 day light, then 1 day medium and then spotting+mucus for a day and it looks similar to what you describe (I also use a cup).

WAYDTGKU: all the things, once AF finishes

R/R: meh

CS/Q:  On the vitamins topic, does anyone have any recommendation for what type of vits men should take? At the moment, DH is not taking anything (even though he eats quite healthy) but I'd like him to have the best chances possible. His SA came back good except for a 5% morph, (but that was just about within the parameters of normality anyways) and I have been wondering what he should be taking.

@lulu1180 *big hugs* my friend. I'm feeling exactly the same way today. I was getting ready for work this morning and had the TV on in the background. Someone in a commercial said "I'm pregnant!" and my cat instantly gagged.... exactly kitty. Exactly. 

@lulu1180 @purplg8r @NYTino24 @kiwi2628 @hartmich



@LoveInDC  sorry about the man cold - I hope your DH appreciates all you're doing to take care of him!

@adirat GL at the RE appointment today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@hartmich only silver lining: we get to be cycle buddies

@crazypuglady totally get it on the BD frustrations. Glad you guys were able to talk about it. 

@sbarluccico my DH had 5% morph, too. I started him on FH Pro about a month ago, but can't speak to the efficacy since 1. I'm obviously not KU yet, and 2. it takes roughly 90 days for dietary/vitamin changes to affect sperm.

Well, I am back (see spoiler but be forewarned it is a TW)

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: just waiting right now

R/R:    **TW**       All of this is measuring up to be a CP. Well I had a faint BFP on Friday 1/20 (14DPO, typically the day AF is due for me), on Saturday I went to test again with a FRER and a CB digi. The FRER remained light and the digi was negative. Sunday the line was even lighter on the FRER I didnt bother with a digi and by Monday the line was the squintiest squinter and by Monday night I started spotting/light flow. Today are cramps so bad that I am on my way home from work and a full flow. I had to really advocate to get in to see my doctor tomorrow (my sister had an ectopic pregnancy in the fall and although I know most times with a CP everything works its own course, I just want to be under the care of a medical professional.) Also, it is ridiculous I had to fight for an appointment and after this will likely be looking for a new doctor. DH has been amazing and has cried with me and gone out of his way to educate himself on exactly what happened and it though it has been tough, it has been somewhat validating to see him mourn the loss as much as me. Though I feel a little silly for running to the grad thread with one faint BFP, I do want to reiterate my gratitude for everyone's kindness on that thread. This community is really amazing. I might be spotty checking in this month because it all looks a little overwhelming right now but know that now just like always I am hardcore cheering for all the wonderful people on this board.

Redpuma119

@KariAnn323 Hopefully you O'd already and your timing works.. but just to be safe-sneak of with H somewhere and have a quickie. I find it so hard to have romantic FW sex and this could be a little spicy!!

@LoveInDC I also have a hard time getting accurate temps due to my schedule, H's schedule and traveling. Even with all the randomness of it I  feel like I Still see a shift between pre and post O temps.

@lulu1180 I am right there with you being so jealous of women who just get ktfu without a glitch. And I'm annoyed with people who think it's going to just go as planned, especially when they know the shit I've gone through.I have a girlfriend who just got married. She's 35 and wants to travel to x and y together, buy a house first, not be pregnant over the summer, etc etc before they try-because obviously she'll just get ku first try. so I punched her. (In my head.)

@WillRunForWine21 - I am so so sorry. Please take care of yourself and come back when you're ready. Until then, big hugs.

eggplantface

@LoveInDC I routinely wake up around 2/3 to pee, and H's alarm goes off at 5 and I temp and it's worked. Waking up won't mess with your temps enough to cause a problem. With temping the time is important, not the sleep, so take it at 4:30 even if you wake up. If you end up with wonky temps then so be it, but I have a feeling it'll work just fine. You could also consider temping vaginally to avoid the variable of mouth breathing.

@kaitlink33 How long is your typical period? It's probably just CM tinged brown by old blood (after 12 hours I imagine it would dry and turn brown) and your period is on its way out. I think infections are typically characterized by an odor. It's possible to have some EWCM during your period. I wouldn't worry about it.

@WildMagelet I'm so old, I know all these movies! The Fly is a creepy movie where Jeff Goldblum gets caught in a transporter machine with a fly, so when he's transported to the other transporter his DNA is mixed with the fly's and he turns into a human/fly hybrid. I have no idea why it was so popular.

@sbarluccico The "It Starts With the Egg" author recommends men take a Ubiquinol/CoQ10 supplement as well as women. My doc also recommended an antioxidant blend that of course his practice sells, but he also said he could take a cocktail of antioxidants separately (but of course his blend was cheaper!).

@heatherdubrow How exciting! I'd be excited too!

Rant: I think I'm getting a cold, just as I was super excited to be back into a workout routine. This is what threw me off in December!! What gives, immune system??

CS/Q:  Nope

GTKY: What was the #1 movie on the day you were born (https://playback.fm/birthday-movie)?
Kramer vs. Kramer. I'm nervously awaiting someone saying "The Lion King." Then I'll be all



ETA: @lulu1180 I feel you. I had the same thoughts. It's never going to happen for me, while all around me women are getting pregnant with no problem. I still feel like that, but it's not such an overwhelming feeling anymore, more just a fleeting bitterness I think meeting with the RE, getting a plan, then taking each step has helped me come to terms with it. Hugs

I'm sorry you had to see that. Even when you know the outcome, it is never fair nor fun to see it blatently written in text. Hugs!

@NYTino24
Thank you for the vitamin D reminder. Unfortunately I had not thought about that. Thankful for you!

@adirat
GL today!!!

I need to chug the water today too... But with the water, comes the bathroom trips. That counts as exercise right? Just kidding, kind of. 

@LoveInDC
Why are man colds so much worse? How can we as women get all the things done. I tell my DH he better pop a sudafed and drink some OJ before I hear a complaint.

@ag90
Thats awesome about your PNV's  !! Hope the wisdom tooth extraction goes well for you and you're not in too much pain.
