Month/Cycle: 18/20 including 2 benched 

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -2,-1,O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: BFN today. I’ll test again tomorrow 

R/R: I didn’t think the BFN hit me that hard but then I realized something work related that it is making me more mad than it should so I think I’m redirecting my feelings. Then DH was trying to be really nice before he left for work and I kind of blew him off because I was dealing with the work thing. Now I feel bad because I’m sure he’s sad too. Ugh. This is the 5th cycle after my surgery so that means just one more cycle before we said we would go back to an RE. Feeling pretty bummed that it’s looking like we will be doing that.

@bows22 So sorry   I do the redirection thing too. FX for better results tomorrow or next cycle so you can avoid a return to the RE.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 23/6

Timing: -5, -3, -1, O, +1

Typical LP length: 9-10 but on progesterone

Testing: Holding out until Tuesday (11dpo)

R/R: This week is going by surprisingly quickly all things considered. I think this weekend might finally be my chance to take a whole day off (probably Sunday) and I am super excited about it. I'm also finally mentally on board with moving forward with IVF (assuming this isn't my special unicorn cycle) and DH is super excited about it now that I'm on board so it's nice to have that to look forward to together. 

CS/Q: Nothing exciting

bows22

@legallykate thanks! I vote special unicorn cycle! But I’m glad you were able to get to IVF mentally. And that time is moving quickly for you. I hope it works out that you can get your full day off on Sunday!

@bows22 Oh, I’m so sorry for the bfn.😞 I thought for sure that was going to be it for you. It is daunting to fully commit to the RE route. I hope you will have a 6th & successful cycle before going that route! But if not, I hope the RE can help you asap.

@legallykate I’m glad to hear that you feel better about where you are and moving forward with IVF. It’s likely much more successful when your mind is committed fully to it. (Personally, it took me forever to get there!) 

Sorry I missed checking in here yesterday!

Month/Cycle: 25

CD/DPO: 27/14

Timing: -3, -1, O

Typical LP length: 10-13

Testing: BFNs. Progesterone has delayed the inevitable once again. Hanging out here till AF shows  

R/R: Been super exhausted the last couple days, but also super productive with work. Been going to bed early & it’s felt great! 

CS/Q: Not worth it anymore.🤷‍♀️

lurking @bows22 sorry for BFN

priyadoc

@bows22 - I'm so so sorry re: your BFN. Guess I'll have to pray harder for you next time!! Here's to praying your next cycle is THE ONE so you can avoid RE. 

@legallykate - Hoping you really do get some time off this weekend!! Rest and relaxation is so important, and glad you're feeling better about IVF!

@keikilove - Yay for productivity! And for going to bed early. I'm right there with you just waiting for AF!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 35/10

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: well, I couldn't hold out until Saturday. BFN today!

R/R: I was set on testing on Saturday, but then I had a bad nightmare sometime between 3 and 4am, and was never able to fall back asleep. Somewhere around 5am I decided to take a test - BFN. Not at all surprised because I had PMS sx all day yesterday!! It's only the first cycle trying so I'm not surprised or upset but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a small twinge of disappointment. But there's MH's birthday on Saturday to look forward to, and we're going to meet my friend and her husband for an outdoor distanced dinner tomorrow night. 

CS/Q: none

legallykate

@keikilove Sorry for the BFN and for Progesterone being such a B. Welcome to my early bird (to bed) club, isn't it the best? Lol.

@priyadoc 10dpo is still early so FX you have better results on Saturday, but if not I hope you enjoy celebrating with YH and those yummy martinis!

bows22

@asf0613 thank you ❤️

@keikilove thank you! come on AF! I’ll probably be right behind you. I’m glad you are getting to catch up on your sleep!

@priyadoc thank you! I’m sorry for your BFN, but I agree with
@legallykate that you are not out yet. But if it’s still negative next time you test, you are totally allowed to be disappointed or sad no matter what cycle you are on❤️
