Re: WTO Wednesday, 5/11
Hi 👋! I think i'll join you over here in the dailies for a little bit so I can get to know some of the non-IFers a little better.
Month/Cycle: more than I care to count, but heading into year 4
CD: haven't started CD1, but starting stims for an egg retrieval cycle
WAYDTGKU: all the science and quasi-science I can cram into my uterus. DHEA, vit D, PNV, CoQ10, DHA, HGH (omnitrope) microdosing, lupron flare protocol (MD lupron, 225u menopur, 225u follistim/gonal-f)
R/R: I am so freaking exhausted by the end of this spring term and am so so ready to be done. // was super worried about a weird cold spell that it was going to freeze and i would lose my little fig babies coming in on the tree. I was so worried that i actually wrapped the whole tree in a tarp to try to protect it. the tree spent two days that way and then yesterday i figured the worst of the cold was over, unwrapped the tree, and then just as i was going to bed last night looked at the forecast and realized that things had changed and we had another freeze warning. I considered, but rejected, the idea of going out to re-wrap the tree at 10pm in my pajamas. woke up this morning to having narrowly missed the freeze by about 1.5 degrees.
CS/Q: nada
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.
Month/Cycle: 17/2AL
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPKs, CoQ10, PNVs
R/R: I am having crazy ovulation pain today. I have felt a little bit before, but today's is intense. It's early foe me to O this cycle, I am typically a CD12-14 O'er, but I got a blazing positive OPK yesterday and coupled with the pain right now, all signs point to today being O day. DH better get ready! LOL.
CS/Q: There is not much to see here, as I didn't temp during vacation but I love stalking other charts so I always take the opportunity to share when I can.

@optimistgardener hi!! Ya, I spend more time in the dailies than anywhere else..I'm occasionally in TTCAL, but that one gets a little tough, so I usually stick with these. Glad to hear the tree seems to have made it! I love plants, but the weather struggles are so real.
@tessiesmom26 yay for early O! I love chart stalking too, so I feel this haha
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, CM, clomid
R/R: We have a busy few days and we were struggling to figure out who was going to watch our dog, since MH and I are going to be all over the place for about two days. But I think we finally figured things out. Who knew it could be so hectic trying to do attend events while having a pet lol
CS/Q: Getting a little nervous over here since by CD 10/11 I usually start seeing EW CM and so far nope. I think I shared this already, but I'm really hoping we don't miss our prime days to DTD since MH is leaving for a work thing on Sunday for a couple days...I just really don't want to waste this clomid cycle.
