Re: TTTC Check In 1-13-2020
@amartuso I found the IF journey to be easier in some ways after we started treatment -- at least then I had a plan of action and I had more information. I hope your tests go smoothly and help you get a better sense of what to do next!
@abarr723 did you get your testing scheduled?
@inthewoods23 how is it going this week?
@hithertorue haven't seen you in a few weeks -- hope the wait for the FET isn't too bad!
AFM: I'm on cycle day 4 and taking clomid etc. We are following the advice and trying one more IUI though I think I regret that decision. I'm ready to just jump into IVF at this point.
QOTW: If it's a nice day, I'm going to put my dogs in the car and go to the redwoods for a hike. I love being in the redwoods. If it's cold or rainy then I'm happy to curl up with a good book snuggled on the couch.
@2dogsmom the good news is IUI cycles are fairly short so moving into IVF should come quick. But hopefully you don't even need IVF!
QOTW: You have a totally free day, what do you do and why?
If I'm totally free I tend to do nothing, but lately I've been trying to organize or clean something.
AFM, no call yet on my biopsy. I thought we would hear results by now. We're on a natural/nothing cycle now, AF just showed 2 hours ago. I don't have to call the clinic to let them know, but I will so I can ask about the Receptiva results at the same time. After this cycle we're in the FET cycle so yay! Hope Jan/Feb goes fast!
