ky29 · October 2013

@ngy2042 - Good morning! Yes, I finally O'd! I wish we would've had better timing, but the late O threw us off. Oh well. Now early in the 2ww. Our trip was fun! Nice little getaway. I was able to see my cousin before/after his game - and Vanderbilt beat Georgia!! (huge upset!)

gingerkid9989 · October 2013

@nyg2042, Hey girl!! How are things going for you?? Thanks for the check in! I am at CD1 as of 7:30 this morning. Oh well. I didn't really think I was KU. Now for the fun cramps. 8-| Mine have been pretty awful since the loss and I'm hoping they will calm down eventually. I am going to try and temp this month even though we are taking a break from trying. It was driving me crazy not knowing what was going on last month.

QOTW: I LOVE Saturdays but HATE Mondays. But really I could love any day that I am not at work!!

jbasore1123 · October 2013

Good morning

Nope, no major side effects. They seem to hurt more than last time for some reason. I do get a small rash at the injection site but it goes away within 30 min. I stop the BCP on Friday and then start my stimulating injections next Tuesday. Yay for moving forward!
QOTW: Friday is my favorite day and Monday is my least, lol.

blackbird818 · October 2013

Happy Wednesday nyg!!! Still waiting to O I see. Do you usually O so late? I see from your last chart it was CD20. Just wonder if that is typical for you. FX it happens soon!!! Two thumbs up on your timing; ya'll have been getting after it.

@ahenson818 - Any updates? How are things going?

I take my last Femara pill today. I have my follie scan scheduled next Tuesday, and as long as I have a plump & sexy follie, I'll get my trigger shot as well. Then it's home to HIO till DH leaves Thur. to go out of town. (I'm not too happy about that affecting our timing but oh well. I even boarded the CT over it yesterday.) I'm backing to temping again this cycle. I don't know how much it matters with it being a medicated cycle & all, but it makes me feel better to temp.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite day of the week? Least favorite?

I really like Friday mornings. I don't work on Fridays so I sleep in a little. Then I relax with a cup of coffee & catch up on my DVR'd shows that DH doesn't like to watch. (Project Runway, Real Housewives, etc)

Least favorite would be Mondays of course.

blackbird818 · October 2013

@gingerkid9989 (((HUGS))) for CD1 hun!!!

PS This is pretty much sums up how I feel on CD1

and now the cure

@ahenson818 - My typical O date has been between CD 19-21. My earliest was CD 17 and my latest was CD 26 (first full cycle after my loss). I have been extremely frustrated with this cycle, and I have this irrational fear that it will be anovulatory. This is also probably the last cycle where I will be able to get pregnant and turn an hpt positive before my EDD, so that it making things even worse for me right now. I've been super emotional, and poor H just doesn't quite understand.

In terms of timing, this has actually be a light FW for us

Still looks like you had pretty solid timing! Glad you had such a great time on your trip.

Boo for CD 1 - I hope your cramps subside. Mine were brutal for the first 2 cycles after my loss, but then seemed to die down a bit.

Yay for getting off BCP - FX everything goes perfectly this cycle.

Fx you have a great scan next week. I saw your CT post yesterday - you still should be able to get some good timing in, although I know you would prefer a little bit more time.

ukwife11 · October 2013

Hey @nyg2042!! Well, my 2ww isn't going so hot. I'm fairly certain AF started Sunday. I'm not sure why I got the +OPK on Thursday then. I started temping this morning (first time since after my loss in April) because I wanted to start again when my next cycle started so here I am! I told myself I won't obsess over temps like the first time around and I won't get anxious if they are all over the place. I already know my cycle is wonky anyways so what's the difference if I can confirm a wonky cycle by my temps too, right? Good news is that last cycle was 30 days shorter than my previous two so I'll take it!

@ky29 FX for you!!

@gingerkid9989 ((hugs)) for cd1

@jbasore1123 yay for moving forward!!

@ahenson818 FX you O soon!

QOTW my favorite day is Friday because I don't work Fridays. My least favorite day is probably Sunday night because I'm usually running around like crazy trying to get things ready for the work week.

BluEyedGirl26 · October 2013

@nyg2042, thanks for running the check in, as always! According to ff, I O'd on Sunday, which was also our anniversary so we got quite a bit of BDing in that day. Now onto the 2ww!

QOTW: I love both Saturday and Sundays. Tuesday is probably my least favorite.

That's awesome!! Thanks girl! I plan on something similar.

LifeofCat · October 2013

Thanks for the check in @nyg2042 ! I hope things are well with you!

Still no AF yet

I've been crying like CRAZY this past week and have some mild cramps and minor lower back pain, so FX.

Mind you, I could also be over-analyzing every single thing my body is doing...

Because I'm back to working Tues-Sat, I would say that my favorite day overall is Sunday. It's always really chill, and I tend to make the best meals that day (ie to maximize leftovers). My least favorite varies from Mon-Tues, depending what my work schedule is.

(((Hugs))) for CD1, @gingerkid9989

I'm sorry! Hopefully temping goes well for you this cycle!

nyg2042 · October 2013

@kistyw13 - hopefully you can still get some good timing in. O-3 is still good! @rafterk2 - yay for an anniversary O. I hope this 2ww flies by! @ninthgirl - I hear ya on the frustration of late O. Hopefully it happens soon! @LifeofCat - ugh, I'm so sorry. What CD are you on? Do you have plans of calling your doctor again?

ukwife11 · October 2013

@nyg2042 thanks! I hope so too!!

@ninthgirl that's what I was thinking but my LP would have been two days. I guess at this point it's possible since things are so crazy. That's another reason I decided to temp this cycle so I could see if that was the case. I guess I'll know this cycle if that's the case!

To be honest @nyg2042 , I'm not temping or doing anything until I get my first postloss AF. Does that make sense? My doc said to let her know if it's past 3 months, so I still have a ways to go before I call her again *sigh*

And thanks @ninthgirl

Hi, I'm Mallory and I am new to the board, just posted my intro yesterday.

Here's the shortened version:

Started TTC in November 2011, started seeing an RE a year later, got pregnant with my second IUI and it sadly ended in a m/c at 7.5 weeks.

We finally got a negative test after 8 weeks, and started naturally TTC again for 2 cycles. I am currently in the tww after IUI #3.

My EDD was 12/19/2013 and I thought it was the perfect due date ever. I hate to be here, but I am glad I am in the company of some amazing women.

QOTD: My favorite day is Sunday. DH and I usually don't have big plans, so we make a big breakfast, usually run together, get to play with our dogs, it's always just a good laid back day. My least favorite day is probably Thursday... It just seems to be the longest day of work and the weekend is so close, but so far.

BluEyedGirl26 · October 2013

@runforcookies, welcome to the check-in! I posted on your intro but again, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope your stay here is short!
