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.

Oh the Peggys. We here on this TTGP board are are doing good work, schooling them all one at a time in the basics of social norms. Unfortunately there are like 50 million of them and only a couple dozen of us, so we'll never actually make any perceivable headway but oh well.

Oooh it looks like the BGs finally deleted that gross post. Seriously, how could anyone possibly think it’s a good idea to post a picture of their bodily fluids on the internet?? So disgusting.
@gingermama29 at least she didn't come back and try to fight us about it.

Non-Peggy related random. Has anyone found that they lose more hair during some months of the year? I feel like I’m like my dog and blowing out my summer under coat atm. Lol. And I remember complaining about that same thing around this time last year, and even went to see a doc about it (she told me I was stressed. Can I get an eye roll?)
Anyways, at the time I thought that maybe I was taking too much Vit E or Selenium but then the problem kind of went away, but I can’t pin point to exactly when. Only thing I’m wondering if maybe my working on my thyroid has benefited. But now I’m starting to have the same issue and so is my thyroid situ getting worse again? I’ll know in a couple of weeks when I get everything rechecked but for now I wanted to see if others have noticed a maybe seasonal connection.
@acleverusername i definitely go through phases of hair loss. I don't know if it's seasonal or not, but the fall season seems kind of familiar. but it also has to do (for me) with my hair getting too long. like anything past the shoulders and it just gives up and lets go. so usually when i start seeing hair loss i'm like, ok time for a trim. but also "stress" as the cause, ugh.

@acleverusername are you a daily hair washer? and blow dryer/heat tool user? i know it's not for everyone, but i wash like 2x a week, and usually go to bed with wet hair, and then just have to use minimal styling tools the next day to fix like the front part, but let the natural wave go with the rest. i also sleep with a silk pillowcase which they say is kinder to your hair.
@acleverusername I haven't specifically noticed hair loss, but my eczema flares up during the fall and spring, especially on my scalp and eyebrows lately, so if skin issues can be seasonal, I could see hair issues being seasonal as well.
@anniemarie887 I only wash 2-3x a week and don’t blow dry or use any product. It might be a length thing as @optimistgardener mentioned as I’ve been growing out my hair although keep the layers well maintained. Oh well, who knows!
All! It’s a thing! We DO lose more hair in the Fall! https://www.wellandgood.com/seasonal-hair-shedding-fall/. I can’t believe I’ve only noticed it now. But then again, I’ve never been so hyper aware of my body so really no surprise there.
I haven’t specifically noticed seasonal hair loss but I’m going to pay attention to that now! I don’t loose too much hair usually though.
I am away this weekend and was needing to confirm o probably happened Thursday with temps, annnnddd I forgot my thermometer 🤦🏼♀️😓 ugh. Right at the worse time as per usual.
are there any FF nerds out there who know how to force it to start a fresh cycle? my last cycle was artificially very short (BC prep for IVF) and FF refuses to believe it even though i've been telling it my period arrived. it's like "nope, this has to just be spotting and you're on cd 17" even though i'm definitely on CD2 for the purposes of my retrieval cycle.
ETA this is obviously not a huge deal. i'll live with FF being confused about my cycle but the control freak in me likes everything to be tidy.

@bows22 it... ended my cycle on day 10 and now has me on cd7? think i broke ff
ETA i have no idea what's going on with it but whatever. this is going to be an IVF cycle anyway so it's not important that FF is on board with me. thanks for the suggestion, though!
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.

@bows22 i sure do. i logged out and logged back in and now it's being slightly more reasonable in that it has now got me 7 days into a luteal phase, but it's still ignoring my last two days of bleeding. it's like "hey we know you never, ever have LPs of less than 15 days so you can't fool us."

@optimistgardener Interesting… whenever I start my person during mid-luteal stim and then again like 10 days later, FF never gives me trouble with starting a new cycle. Bizarre! Anyways, I poked around and figured out where to go to force a new cycle:
thank you @acleverusername! ff clearly needs a fresh start with me, anyhow.

@acleverusername late to this party but if seasonal shedding is a thing, I am double screwed because I am currently experiencing increased shedding from having Covid back in August. I am pretty used to random bouts of hair loss thanks to Hashimotos but it's ridiculous right now. Without exaggeration i have probably lost half my hair (if not more) in the last month!

Anyways, at the time I thought that maybe I was taking too much Vit E or Selenium but then the problem kind of went away, but I can’t pin point to exactly when. Only thing I’m wondering if maybe my working on my thyroid has benefited. But now I’m starting to have the same issue and so is my thyroid situ getting worse again? I’ll know in a couple of weeks when I get everything rechecked but for now I wanted to see if others have noticed a maybe seasonal connection.
