    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD: 1

    WAYDTGKU: bbt/charting

    R/R: I had a couple errands I was supposed to run early this morning, but when I woke up in pain, I decided those things are gonna have to wait. lol shut off my alarm and went back to sleep. I'm feeling a little less awful now though, and MH and I were going to go shopping for some things later, mostly plants and seeds for the garden bed that's almost done, as well as visiting our daughter. So that'll be nice today.

    CS/Q: I'm still amazed at how my temps alert me of AF. My temp yesterday plummeted and AF arrived late last night/early this morning. It's nice having a heads up lol

    GTKY: Name 3 places: one where you would want to live, one where you want to vacation, and one you would never want to visit. Live: Montana. Vacation: Ireland. Never want to visit: Kansas.

    @annanbby i've always been amazed by how reliable the temp drop is for warning that my period is right around the corner. It's like magic!
    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.

    @annanbby I’m sorry for cd1 and the pain associated with it. I also had a very painful cd1, so I’m hoping it passes quickly for you! I’m jealous of you plant and seed shopping, it’s my favorite!


    Month/Cycle: 6/6AL

    CD: 3

    WAYDTGKU: Opk & bbt

    R/R: Work today was ok, so I was anxious for nothing as per usual. It’s been pretty low key otherwise. Currently, I’m checking my amazon delivery obsessively in hopes to intercept it before mh gets home from work. Lol. Mostly because it’s something to wear for our night away and I want to surprise him.

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: Name 3 places: one where you would want to live, one where you want to vacation, and one you would never want to visit.

    Live: Savannah GA, vacation: Poland/Europe, never visit: Alaska 


    Edit: update!!! It came before mh got home!!
