    Month/Cycle: 0

    CD/DPO: 20/9

    Timing: -4

    Typical LP length: 12-13 days

    Testing: Won't be doing any this cycle

    R/R: Still just hoping I'll ovulate late next cycle so that I have a chance of it working out for us.

    CS/Q: Has anyone noticed any effect on their cycle with the new COVID booster? I have mine scheduled for next week and I'll likely be WTO at that point. Just wondering if there is a chance that could delay O for me.

    @britters314 I don’t think I noticed any difference in my cycle.

    Month/Cycle: 22/11 AL

    CD/DPO: 6 DPO

    Timing: O

    Typical LP length: was like 6-7, then at least 12 with progesterone, I’m going rouge this cycle with no progesterone yet. Will start it if I start spotting early. 

    Testing: next Sunday if I can wait that long.

    R/R: starting to feel the stresses of running out of time to prepare for the holidays, but at the same time Im having trouble in finding joy this season. 

    CS/Q: nope

    @britters314 I did not personally have any effects on my cycle with the COVID vaccine, but I know there’s some pretty good research on the subject coming to light now. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/study-confirms-link-between-covid-19-vaccination-temporary-increase-menstrual-cycle-length

    @bearmomma1 I’m hoping that no spotting is a positive sign for you! 

    Month/Cycle: 17 months since we started trying, took a break after 2 losses, now 3rd cycle back TTC

    CD/DPO: CD20/7DPO

    Timing: -2, -1, 0

    Typical LP length: usually 11-12, but has been as short as 9 and as long as 15.  

    Testing: I dunno. Seems like a waste this cycle. Might wait for my period. 

    R/R: I am doing the typical 7DPO symptom spotting, despite the fact that anything weird going on with my body right now is probably due to COVID and not pregnancy. My TTGP brain takes over my normally very rational brain at the same time each month. It’s annoying. Also, I have 1 sore swollen boob. Not unusual to have sore breasts during the luteal phase, but why would only 1 boob be sore? Is COVID boob a thing? My body is so weird sometimes.

    Month/Cycle: 1


    CD/DPO: 19/7

    Timing: -2

    Typical LP length: 12 days currently

    Testing: not yet 

    R/R: I forget what R/R means?? 

    CS/Q:  I didn’t temp or anything this cycle but I’ll start next cycle. 

    @britters314 I got my Covid booster late summer and had no change— a 26 day cycle and then a 25 day cycle. The cycle before had also been 26.

    @bearmomma1 @emmylou78 Thanks for the responses! I guess I probably shouldn’t count on O being delayed.

    @maggiemadeit Thanks for the study. Unfortunately they didn’t look at if any changes were because O was affected or LP was affected. Either way it looks like it’s not a big change, so I guess I can’t count on it.

    Tested today, even though I knew it was basically a zero chance. No surprise, BFN. Boo. Just waiting for AF now.

    *lurking* @emmylou78 R/R is 'rant/rave' and is an opportunity to vent/hype about whatever thing is going on today, be it fertility related or no (but beware mentions of LC, etc.).
    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.

    Just personal anecdote, but I didn't have cycle changes with the covid vaccine (just a little bit with actual covid - longer to O and shorter LP). 

    @bearmomma1 I hope you're still not spotting!
    @maggiemadeit symptom spotting can be such a mind-F!

    @britters314 Sorry for the BFN. Even when you don’t expect a positive, it’s never easy.

    Went ahead and tested at 12 DPO this morning, BFN. I didn’t really think that the cycle I got COVID would be the one, but I was hoping for a Christmas miracle. Oh well. Waiting for AF now and hoping it comes soon so my next FW will be while we’re on vacation.
