Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: I think 14? Who knows, first cycle post-IUD removal

WAYDTGKU: BBT, tracking in FF, OPKs, etc etc...

R/R: Blazing positive on the OPK this morning! I'm so dang excited. But slight rant - my temps are all over the place and my chart looks like the Himalayas. I enjoy a solid chart so this is giving me slight anxiety. Why can't it just be pretty?!

CS/Q: Nothing.

@kmalls - Yay for a positive OPK!

Month/Cycle: 15

CD: 2 

WAYDTGKU: IVF

R/R: I did my first Gonal-F shot last night!! I wasn't nervous since I had already given myself the trigger shot before and this needle was smaller. About 30 mins after I had some moderate cramping across my stomach on the same plane as the injection site. Not sure if it was from the shot or just a weird coincidence. We'll see what happens tonight!

CS/Q: not yet

kpearse99

@kmalls Yay for the blazing positive!! It's always so exciting when you see that!

@feather_heather I wanna say it was probably from the shot, but I don't have experience with Gonal-F.  I actually asked my RE about it, after last weeks results, and he said he won't put me on that (with letrozole and the IUI) because it increases the chance of multiples. 

Month/Cycle: 13/11/1 (AL #2)

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: Preseed, PNV, HIO/EOD, Tracking CM, 7.5 of Letrozole, Trigger and IUI #2

R/R: One more day of work to get through today and then vacation mode is on! Yesterday flew by so I am hoping today goes by quick too!

I am more bloated this time around in my cycle then I think I normally am, I wonder if that's from the increased dose of letrozole. I didn't really have this when I only took 2.5mg and 5mg of it...so it could be? Either way, I don't like it!

CS/Q: nope

Okay I'm putting on my big girl pants and getting back into the dailies for this cycle. As mentioned in randoms I've been pouting in a corner because SO is dragging his feet with the SA.

@kmalls yay for your positive OPK!

@feather_heather - also no experience with that but it sounds like it was probably related!

@kpearse99 - yay vacation, I hope your day goes fast! Sorry about the bloating.

Month/Cycle:15/14

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: This month probably just observing CM, prenatals.

R/R: Rave - My annual fall trip in NY is this weekend with some of my friends! One more day of work. Rant - I kind of hate leaving SO for a few days! It's just Wednesday night-Sunday night but it still makes us sad! Also I kind of wish I had planned the trip differently, I'm flying and visiting a couple of friends in NYC before we drive upstate on Thursday. I feel like it's going to be rushed and it might have been nicer to just drive straight to the town where we're staying.
CS/Q: nope!

kpearse99

@whitealbum29 your trip sounds so awesome! You are going to have a great time! And I know exactly how you feel about hating being away from your SO, I feel the same way every time DH and I are apart. I don't like it!!

WAYDTGKU: IVF Cycle

R/R: LAST BCP TODAY!! Hallelujah! I am so happy that I will soon feel slightly normal again. I assume that is until I get the injections happening. I also have a Right Fit interview where we just chat and see if I would work well in the office. They will also go into more detail about the position which will be nice. All these things are happening on Thursday, but it will still be more restful than work. 

CS/Q:

@kmalls Yay for OPK! I am also a stickler for symmetry. Fx for timing!

@feather_heather So excited for you!!!! Can't wait to see where this leads!

@kpearse99 Woohoo! Vacation! I'll use my magic to make the day go quickly for you (I didn't get a ton of sleep so I may be hallucinating that I am a witch again).

@whitealbum29 Totally understand the withdrawal from SO. Your trip sounds amazing! Hopefully you'll get enough time with your friends. Enjoy!

kpearse99

@meri-mac you're so funny!!! It's so great that things are finally happening for you!!! Thursday will be a great day

mvt2003

@whitealbum29 Your trip sounds so exciting! Are you going to the wineries??? Yum!!! 

@kmalls Congrats on the positive OPK!!! FX for you!!!

@feather_heather So excited for you to get started!!!!! I bet the cramping was related, but no experience to share! 

@kpearse99 Woo hoo to vacation mode!!! Enjoy your trip!!! 

@meri-mac GL on your interview!

WAYDTGKU: Benched for IF testing

R/R: Today has already been a DAY! Lots of work stuff, I had a drs appointment (which I really didn't 100% need, I basically just got the urologist's name, but meh), and on my way to the appointment, my gas light came on which made me cranky. 

I'm going to have lunch, then start hacking away at my to-do list, will be popping in and out today. 

CS/Q: Nope

kpearse99

@mvt2003 my gas light always pops on when MH drives me car    It drives him craaaaazy.... opps!!  I hope you get all the things done today!!

mvt2003

@kpearse99 Ha I always leave MH's car on alllllmost E, so he gets pretty cranky about that!  

kpearse99

@mvt2003 this is pretty much my response to him....

@kpearse99 This is mine

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: Still figuring that out  It's been awhile since TTC the first time around, so I'm re-learning everything. I'm 1 day late for my period though. No risk of possible pregnancy already - in an LGBTQ relationship, so we'll have a donor for this first cycle. Gonna HIO so we can get my period kick started!  

WAYDTGKU: Tracking period/ovulation, taking prenatal vitamins, eating healthier foods that boost fertility

R/R: I have to say, tracking BBT seems very stressful and I don't think I'll be doing it. I'd like to get OPK tests, but we're going without the first round. Thankfully, our donor is available for multiple rounds this cycle so we'll be inseminating every other day during my FW. 

CS/Q: None yet. Just lurking on the threads for recommendations to boost fertility and make this cycle as successful as possible, even for my first round! GL to everyone! 

kpearse99

@b3ll3ma3 welcome!! I always felt the same way about tracking BBT. I did it for the first time last cycle, and lost sleep because of it 😂 it’s not for me! Plus, with going through IUI’s i don’t really need to since they monitor me.
