Re: TWW Weekend 10/26-10/27
Month/Cycle: A couple of years but first cycle back after a prolonged break
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: Lovely
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: I am so hoping to hold out for AF but I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting a little twitchy
R/R: Rant: My beloved Sooners lost today which likely puts us out of the running for the college playoffs, we were having such a good season!! On a funny note - my dog gets so upset during football games because of the loud noises that since we were losing and my DH was so upset he had to go to a friend's house because Jack kept trying to crawl on my lap. Fine for a tiny dog, not as great when they are nearly 80 pounds. Rave: DH and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary tomorrow and I feel we are in a really good place.
CS/Q: No real questions
Our Journey for #1
2017 -- Discovered MFI but didn't move forward with treatment due to expense and grad school
Spring 2019 -- Started with RE and confirmed MFI
Fall 2019 -- 3 cycles of Clomid and TI, 3 BFNs, discovered hostile cervical mucus was also contributing
Spring/Summer 2020 -- 3 cycle of IUI, 3 BFNs
Nov 2020 - First IVF with 3 little frosties, had to change to freeze all due to OHSS
Feb 16, 2021 - FET #1 - BFP! Beta #1 100 Beta # 2 541 EDD 11/4/2021
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -4, -2, -1 (x2), +1
Typical LP length: not sure, first cycle post-IUD removal
Testing: trying to hold out until at least 11dpo
R/R: It’s POURING here but it makes for a perfect day to watch football! We’re Patriots fans and although it would suck to have tickets for the game today, I cannot wait to get soup on the stove and kick our feet up!
CS/Q: nope
@kmalls we have similar rainy weather today. Also Booooo Patriots! 😊 Haha I'm a huge Bills fan. I agree though, it is definitely perfect football watching weather today!
Month/Cycle: 5/3
CD/DPO: 50/9
Timing: -2, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 11-13 based on last cycle
Testing: probably tomorrow? FF is predicting AF for Wednesday
R/R: I had a crazy high temp today! My sleep has been off the last couple nights though and I temped really early and then again over an hour later than normal after I woke up again. It was 98.5 at 4:30 (2 hours earlier than I normally temp) and 98.9 a little before 8 (1.5 hours late) so idk how accurate either is. I'm trying not to be BSC with the SS but between sore boobs and heartburn, it's been hard to not board that BSC train.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 13/12, 2 AL
CD/DPO: 23/4 or 5
Timing: -4,-3,-2, 0 (estimate because I’m not temping this month, just basing on a pretty reg cycle)
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Nah, we have a doc visit planned mid-Nov for fertility testing. I’m looking forward to that next step instead of worrying much about this cycle.
R/R: we had a fabulous weekend at a bed and breakfast about an hour away. Just good to relax, eat too much, drink too much, and enjoy each other’s company. Felt like a really rejuvenating break. I feel like taking the month off from wearing the Ava bracelet, checking CM, etc, has really helped me mentally and emotionally. I don’t think I knew how much mental/emotional energy I was dedicating to tracking until I decided to quit for a cycle.
CS/Q: not really
EDIT: crap!! I still can’t gif right! But it was a super funny wide-eyed “wow” gif. So use your imagination
Month/Cycle: 18/11/2(AL#2)
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: Pretty good.
Typical LP length: 14-16
Testing: Friday...if I can hold out that long.
R/R: We have had such a good weekend!! We went and picked out all new living room furniture yesterday, and I can’t wait for it to be delivered...in 3 weeks! It’s going to make our space look so much better! We did some major cleaning today, which was very much overdue! Now it’s time to relax for the rest of the evening. I have to go to a conference tomorrow and Tuesday, so not sure if I’ll have little TB time or a lot of TB time (if it’s super boring)! Time will tell! Haha.
CS/Q: My temp shot up yesterday...I temped about 45 minutes late because I had to get up in the middle of the night and I reset my alarm, so I figured that affected it. I was pleasantly surprised that it was still up this morning...but I know the progesterone could be affecting it. Also, I un-discarded the 3DPO temp since it didn’t affect O date anymore.
@KNB1027 Happy Anniversary! Hope you’ve had a good day celebrating! Your chart is looking really good!
@kmalls your rainy day in sounds wonderful! What kind of soup are you making?
@gingermama29 oh my, that chart!!! I have everything crossed for you!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@rachelredhead glad you had a good weekend away!
@kmalls hahahaha yeah days like today are when it's rough to admit I'm a Bills fan.
@bluetickgal your chart looks awesome too!! You have all the willpower in the world to potentially wait until Friday to test! I'm also crossing everything for you!! I hope we both get to head over to July!! 😊
The July board:
Month/Cycle: 2 years + first cycle working with RE
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: Pretty darn good
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: Honestly every day I am talking myself out of testing!
R/R: I have been persistently nauseated since yesterday but feel like it is all in my head. We have been trying to get pregnant for so long that I am loathe to get my hopes up now. Rave: **TW family talk - the kiddo living with us, who I will just call my DD since we are planning for her to stay forever
, and I made our zombie Halloween costumes tonight. We are planning for a fun night of trick or treaters on Thursday.
CS/Q: FF moved my O day from CD 17 to CD 16 which puts me at 11 dpo instead of the 10 I was expecting. It just makes it that much harder not to test!
@kmalls - Hope you had a lovely day cozy inside watching football. I love rainy days and being able to stay inside.
@gingermomma29 - Your chart is looking great! I am boarding the s/s train with you sister! We can go to crazy town together
@bluetickgal - we are cycle sisters this month! Super exciting about your new furniture and house cleaning! I'll bet it feels good to start picturing your new space!
@rachelredhead - so glad you had a relaxing getaway and that you have had the month to take a break and get set for what is coming up next! Fingers crossed you get quick answers from your appointment
@bows22 - I can't decide if temping makes me more or less crazy! But I am hoping this is all of our month!
