R/R: Excited to be going on a hike today at a trail near our house that I meant to check out last year and didn’t. FX we don’t get any ticks they are rampant here.
CS/Q: none
Me: 33 | DH: 34 Married: October, 19, 2015 EDD 2/22/17 DS1 born on 3/2/17 EDD 3/8/20 DS2 born on 3/10/20 EDD 11/24/23 (Formerly Marriedhamstermom Feb ‘17)
Testing: Nope. Going to try to hold out until the end of next week.
R/R: I'm starting to have some anxiety about our RE appointment tomorrow. It's going to be a beautiful day today, so I'm going to enjoy the sunshine and try to put the worries out of my mind. In other news, still waiting to hear on whether or not I was cast in the show. Every time my phone pings with an email, I jump. 😆
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@emeraldduchess GL at the RE tomorrow. Hope you hear something soon about the audition! Just realized we are CD and DPO buddies!
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -4, O, +1
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Saturday
R/R: Back to nights which will hopefully help my TWW fly by. We just booked flights to go spend a week with my sister in July so I’m looking forward to that.
CS/Q:
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!

@varimama - have a nice hike! That's so nice to have a place right by you.
@emeraldduchess - Hopefully you get good news re: casting! And hope your chart keeps looking good!
@misshelen86 - So nice to have a trip to look forward to!
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 28/10
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: hopefully early next week (planning to WFAF)
R/R: SO did the grocery shopping and cooked a great dinner last night which was a nice break that I didn't even realize I wanted. We're good at splitting things up but scheduling lately has made it so I've done a lot of after-work chores.
@emeraldduchess FX for you for tomorrow, glad you're working to stay calm today. Breathe deeply, and enjoy the time outside today.
@misshelen86 that's great to have something to help the TWW fly by!
@whitealbum29 that's so nice! I love when I get home and MH has cooked!!!
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Staying strong. I just can't see the BFN this month.
R/R: I'm feeling kind of off this morning, my stomach is not great. Trying to figure out what I ate, but I don't even want my coffee which is totally unlike me. It's not helping that I came into the office to find out that the guy who wears a TON of aftershave is in the office today.
CS/Q: Nope
me: 35 / so: 34 | ttc #1 since 9/2018
DX: MFI IVF Cycle #1 February 2020 4 embryos frozen, 1 fresh transfer = CP FET #1 Natural Cycle March 2020 CXL'd due to Covid-19 FET #1 Natural Cycle June 2020 - CP #2 FET #2 Natural Cycle July 2020 - BFP!!!!!! Beta #1 = 273
Testing: It'll be spur of the moment, but I'll definitely force myself to hold off until 11 dpo. That's only 3 more days at this point! Hopefully, I have the will power. Haha!
R/R: Just like clockwork, I'm 8 DPO and officially over this cycle. PMS has set in and I'm moody AF, but at least I had a lovely acupuncture session yesterday afternoon. My mind keeps flipping between "yes, this is the cycle!" to "no way, try again next month!" Blah, the end of the TWW is officially the worst.

@misshelen86 hope the TWW does fly by for you! I love the feeling after just booking a trip!
@whitealbum29 that’s so awesome of your SO. Since I don’t go to work anymore most house things are my jobs (which is fine, it works for us) but DH cooks a breakfast and a dinner each weekend and it’s so helpful to me plus he says he enjoys it!
@mvt2003 good luck staying strong. Sorry you’re feeling off. Hopefully you feel better as the day goes on!

@puppylove8910 thanks! I'm pretty sure it was just cream cheese disagreeing with me, but maybe I'll be wrong, who knows? I have the same cyclical thoughts as you at 8dpo!!!! We'll both just try to remain as even keeled as possible!
