WAYDTGKU (BD/TI/IVF/FET/Benched/etc.): BD

WTO/TWW: waiting for a temp shift to confirm ovulation

Timing/Testing/CS: I think it will be -3, -4

How are things going? Any questions?: We BD the night before I got my positive LH so I think we are good. It was very close to being positive. I was a little shocked I didn’t get a temp rise this morning. My CM shifted yesterday. I was expecting another positive OPK yesterday morning and it was negative but still pretty elevated. We will see how things go. At this point it’s too late to get anymore hearts in so we will just wait and see how it goes. 

R/R: we are winding down to our summer schedule and I’m ready for it. I need to not be expected to be places on a regular basis for a while.

WAYDTGKU (BD/TI/IVF/FET/Benched/etc.): Matching phase for embryo adoption

WTO/TWW: WTO

Timing/Testing/CS: TTA this cycle

How are things going? Any questions?: We just let the agency know last night that we want to accept our match! So now we are waiting to see if the clinic will accept them. I think they will this time. There was one thing that I wasn’t sure about but I checked with my doctor and she said it should be fine. So hopefully I hear back soon!

R/R: This thread is really dead this week! I was waiting to post until we decided on whether we would accept our match, but I’ve been checking and have been surprised there weren’t more posts

@britters314 I have also noticed how dead it is. I feel like I have been just chilling here by myself. Makes me wonder if there are some BFPs. 👀😁

WTO/TWW: TWW

Timing/Testing/CS: -3, -1

How are things going? Any questions?: So my temp shift showed up a little later than I thought, but timing ended up being way better for that CD, so it worked out nicely. Feeling like I do before AF, though, so I’m not super hopeful. 

R/R: We are leaving for Hawaii in a few weeks and I am super excited. We lived there for a while so going back always feels like going home. Looking forward to mai tais, surfing, poke bowls, and scuba diving since I’m like 99% sure I won’t be PG by then, so I’ll be doing all the things.

@aloha_mama I’m going to a bunch of theme parks next week and I was thinking I would still ride The Hulk at universal, right? 😂

aloha_mama

@emeraldcity603 lol! It’s like a consolation prize haha

britters314

Ah we are going on a trip in a few weeks too and I was also thinking well at least I’ll get to do all the things. And we’ll be with family so I also won’t have to come up with excuses for not doing all the things lol

So, I was on one of my FB pages for FAM earlier this week. I was looking at a chart someone posted and was confused as to why they had the first temp marked as their shift. Anyways, they use symptopro and the rules to confirm a shift are less stringent. At least for the start of the shift. I have been frustrated waiting for my shift that seems delayed according to my method (TCOYF). Anyways, the shift I get according to Symptopro lines up better with the way my temps rise after ovulation. I bought a book to read up on the rules and I may change methods.

WTO/TWW: TTW

Timing/Testing/CS: It was -3 and we didn't really try this cycle but I still haven't gotten my period (it was due like two days ago) but I've tested and they've all been BFNs.

How are things going? Any questions?: I feel like crap and like I am going to get my period any second but nothing doing. I'm annoyed and confused and just want it so I can start the next cycle.

R/R: I'm working from home today so I am excited to rot a little bit. It's also been crappy weather the past few days (non-stop rain) so that adds to the cozy feeling.

Ugh I wish. 😂 I'm just so tired and busy, I haven't been keeping up as well. I did go on vacation last week and yes it was a consolation prize to have drinks with the family lol.

WTO/TWW: WTO

Timing/Testing/CS: CD4

How are things going? Any questions?: I asked my spouse if we could start seeing a fertility doc again and he finally agreed. He said he'll do it as long as he gets to complain and grumble about it. 🤷😂 I doubt I will be afforded that same luxury lol. 

R/R: None

@fifilala516 What tests are you using. I’m done with FRER. Those tests are garbage. 

@ferret22 I’m glad your DH has agreed to start fertility treatments again. I feel like both of yall should be free to grumble. It should be understood that it’s difficult on both of yall and grumbling doesn’t mean you want to throw in the towel but sometimes you just need to vent.

@emeraldcity603 I have the premom strips I bought off on Amazon and early detection ClearBlue digitals with the red light.
