@neomama3 I always start testing at 8 DPO with the Wondfo cheapies. My RE's office brings patients in at 14 DPO for the first beta but I can never wait that long.
uh, wth is this and why is it in the ttgp forum all the sudden? I know from lurking that it was over in the bump month boards before. this isn't a good home for it either.
History
I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal. Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow. Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal. Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP. May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy. July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen. Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized. From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos! Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN. July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.

@BumpAdmin seconding what @inthewoods23 says. also reported. it's against ttgp forum practice to talk about positive pregnancy tests, let alone to actively invite them, which is what is going on here. I don't think this is @WashingtonQueen's fault since this is not where they originally intended to post their thread, but this is not the right place for it here.

I’ll be the person to say it and I don’t mean to come off rude, but @WashingtonQueen I know you’ve been around a long time. It’s never been ok to post HEDD threads in the BMB’s. We all know those never went over well and are out of place there. If you’re ttc, you have a home on the TTGP board where we all want a July edd and cheer each other on/ do chart analysis/ do exactly what this post was intended for, in the wrong place.
@paytonpedro I definitely wouldn't say "never been okay". 1 HEDD thread in BMBs was normal when this forum was hopping back 11 years ago. It gave a place for newbies to post and be excited without stepping on toes of the TTGP regulars. Then the mass exodus of 2014 and the shit show of overbearing Admins banning all the regulars to try and make it more like Babycenter. Things change and evolve of course, but this forum never recovered to it's old glory and I can see why when Admins still step on toes for no real reason. It makes me sad because this forum really use to be amazing. Miss the days of the boards being so full you had to scroll back 2 or 3 pages just see see all of that day's new posts.
@WashingtonQueen I can agree that the boards aren’t what they used to be, and that I do miss some of the busyness sometimes. But, what it’s become is beautiful, too. It’s much easier to forge relationships with 20-30 women then 150-200. Also, I was new on TTGP, this time around, not too long ago, and I’ve found the gold pot of the internet. I never found ttgp prior to my other pregnancies. Since finding them, I’ve never once felt unwelcome and no one has made me feel like I was stepping on toes at all. But I also followed the rules from post #1 😉😉

And yes, I was a moderator here back in the day.
I liked it better when they'd just delete these.

Things change and evolve of course, but this forum never recovered to it's old glory and I can see why when Admins still step on toes for no real reason. It makes me sad because this forum really use to be amazing. Miss the days of the boards being so full you had to scroll back 2 or 3 pages just see see all of that day's new posts.
