I havent been super active this last month really (I blame the move and purchase/clean up of the new house) so I hope it’s ok I post here.
CD/DPO of first BFP? November 29th. But I didn’t believe it so I did another one dec 3rd on CD 33 and 17 DPO and confirmed thru my doctors office.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? Since August 2018
What did your chart look like? I sucked at charting.
What were you doing TGKU? PNV, HIO.
How was your timing? According to the app it was perfect.
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? the biggest one for me was my co worker who I adore working with, would make me gag. His cologne was super subtle and I never noticed it before but I could smell him coming before you could hear him. That was the biggest one and the huge intense need for anything peach but hating it soon as I drank or ate it. Oh and the forgetfulness is in full swing too.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Because I already suffered a loss, I really want to wait till I see a heartbeat to tell him. It will destroy him if we lose this one.
Anything else to add? As I said above, I truly hope it’s ok I post here as I know I haven’t been super active as of lately. All of you women have been so amazing to me from the very start and through everything. I have everything crossed for all of you. You all are the absolute strongest women I have ever met (not IRL but you know what I mean)
@kels0091 congrats!! Hoping this is your rainbow baby!
Me: 35 DH: 35 TTC since 9/2018
Dx: MFI 10/19- First RE visit 2/20- DH had surgery for bilateral varicoceles 7/20- IUI with 5 mg letrozole- BFN 9/20- IVF. 9 eggs retrieved, 9 mature, 8 fertilized with ICSI, 7 blasts, 4 PGT-A normal 11/20- Mock transfer/ERA 12/20- FET #1- transferred one 4AB- BFN 3/21- FET #2- transferred one 3AB- BFP! Due Dec 2021 12/21- Baby girl born!
I've had a drawer full of Amazon cheapie PG tests and started testing at 8DPO this cycle (because I have no self control, apparently). 8 and 9 DPO tests were negative, but this morning I tested and left it on the counter while I showered, with no expectation of seeing a second line. When I went to throw it away - there it was!
First appointment for us will be in January, but we're going in to get blood test results and say goodbye to our RE tomorrow! Due date should be ~August 26, 2019.
CD/DPO of first BFP? 10DPO
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 23 months
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? Just acupuncture. This was our benched cycle while running tests with our new RE before beginning a new protocol after six failed rounds of letrozole + estradiol + metformin + progesterone + trigger.
How was your timing? Good
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? None
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? A long time ago I had this cute wood card/sign thing made by Rooted & Built Design that said, "You're my favorite person to make a person with" with two little footprints. I was too excited to go find it in the closet I hid it in, and just busted out of the bathroom and told him. I gave it to him after I took two more tests.
Anything else to add? Thank you all for welcoming me here. If you had asked me yesterday, I would have told you I'd be sticking around for a while. You all are strong, incredible women, and I can't wait to see you all post here.
