Re: ••••• 2IF Weekly Check-In •••••

  • Cycle status: cd17. Based on my last couple cycles, I expect to ovulate in about 10 to 15 days. I'll start using OPK's next week.

    QOTW: My bedroom is blue. The walls are a dark dark navy blue, we have a really high ceiling so it doesn't make the room look too dark. And I have blue and green accents. Kind of boring, but it was fun when I picked it originally. I wouldn't mind redoing it to make it in grays and white with light aqua accents. I want my bedroom to be spa-like. I don't know if we'll ever get around to redoing it. Not anytime soon anyways.

    Cycle status:   CD 2 I had a week of spotting before though so I am just ready for it to be over with, I never know how long AF is going to stay.... unsure/ supposed to start Clomid Saturday, but I am so torn, I told DH that I wasn't sure about continuing without the SA and he says "well I guess we just won't have a baby then...." He fully trusts out OB, but he isn't the one taking the meds, nor doing any research.... possibly a natural cycle, which I already know will result with a BFN...

    QOTW: What color scheme is your master bedroom? And do you like it, or would you change it to something else?

    We recently remodeled, so it is still a work in progress for us, it is black and red with b&w photos of paris, I adore it and do not plan on changing it anytime soon.. before it was brown and green and ugly

  • Cycle status:  CD 11.  I had another monitoring appointment this morning.  The ultrasound showed two nice looking follies one on each side measuring 19mm.  I've been super crampy since last night so I'm worried I already O'd and we didn't catch it in time to do the IUI.  Blood work results should be back this afternoon.  I'm hoping I didn't O and we can do the IUI tomorrow and I'm hoping that my E2 levels are high enough that there is at least one egg hiding in there!

    QOTW: What color scheme is your master bedroom? And do you like it, or would you change it to something else?

    We moved into our house over the summer and didn't paint.  So it's boring tan from the previous owners.

  • CD1. Debating whether to do another medicated IUI cycle or take a break.

    We moved into a new house last year and our bedroom is still builder's white. It is so boring but I can't muster up the energy to change any of the wall colors.

    TTC #2 since 8/2012

    IUI #1 April 2014: BFN

    IUI #2 July 2014: BFN

    IUI #3 August 2014: BFN

    BFP: September 15, due May 22nd 2015

  • Waiting to cycle IVF/ICSI #4, I am not giving up on this!  DH's surgeon called me yesterday out of the blue saying he is available July or August for his PESA so we could cycle either of those months if things turn around.  I still do not have a job but am actively looking and trying to stay positive.  I am trying to work on changing some things to hopefully help this cycle such as not eating or drinking from cans or plastic and replacing all plastic tupperware with glass, I bought a book online abut egg quality and improvement and am reading it.  I hope to restart acupuncture soon when it is in the budget again.

    Wishing everyone well.

    QOTW: We have a rental home and the walls have awful beige wallpaper we cannot change.  I think I would prefer grey walls if I could change them.

  • CD8

    My bedroom is a light tan. I like it fine. I just need to get more decorations up on the wall. The one side looks rather lonely.
    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

    Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

  • CD something...still kind of ignoring my cycles as we wait for DH surgery in June.

    Our room is a greenish color, I would love to redo it. It's the color the previous owners had...we've been in this house 4 years and I haven't found the time, money, or motivation to paint any of it. Our first, home we painted just about everything and our bedroom was a light blue, we both really liked it.

  • I'm on CD21 with a +OPK today, finally. Cycle #22.

    Our bedroom is tan with accents of black and kind of a tealish blue. I like it, it's pretty calming :-)

  • You're all giving me some great ideas. Now I really want to redo my bedroom. Maybe this summer when DH is in break.

    @Iloveshanej‌ congrats on that +opk. I always tell myself I'll use them, then I forget for a day, then I wonder if I missed my surge. Your + is inspiration for me to get on the ball. I'll use them this cycle! Really, I will! Btw, have fun get'in busy.

  • CD 23 (I think....I should know that. I'm benched this cycle so I'm taking a break from compulsively obsessing about where I am in my cycle)

    QOTW: Our bedroom walls are blue, bed is blue cream and brown. I really like that part. Our furniture is hideous, from the late 80s and covered in diamond shaped mirrors, it was however completely free so that goes a long way toward making me like it.

  • I am waiting on AF...should be here within the week. Can't wait to get started.

    My bedroom walls are gray, closet doors and bedroom and bathroom doors are black, trim white. I love it, but I need new furniture and a new comforter badly to bring in some style and pops of color.
