    Still on ganirelix.  Baseline 2 is Friday.  I hope to start stims on November 3!!  Hoping and praying this time goes better than my previous cycles!

    QOTW:  Pretty close to every day.  If I don't wash my hair, it looks and feels gross.  I sometimes go a day without washing it on the weekends.  But, yuck!  I've heard that your hair changes if you don't wash it daily so that it gets less yucky.  But, I tried that while on maternity leave with DD and it never improved.

    QOTW: daily. I know it's bad to do it too much but I've tried skipping days for awhile and it gets so stringy and dirty looking. I use pretty mild shampoos and then once every other week I use a clarifying shampoo and a moisture mask.

    QOTW: How often to you wash your hair?
    - I wash every other day. I have tried to go every 3 days, but I just look like a grease ball if I go longer than 2. I have a lot of fine straight hair so it requires cleaning more often than a curly head.

    Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans 
    Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube

    Cycle Status: waiting til KUFMO comes out and I'll let you know ;) Ha I can't remember exactly and don't feel like checking but....

    The hair question compelled me to participate. My hair dresser has battled me for awhile on this one. I love full on hot showers and washing my fine hair which turns greasy really quickly. I was doing every day or every other day and now it's extended to like 2.5 days (like morning one day and then two days later the evening). I find it can go 3 days if I've had a blow out or recently had it coloured.

    Cycle Status: I will be giving myself a trigger shot tomorrow morning and then getting busy with DH for the next few nights.  At my check-up today, all looked good.  So it's hard not to be hopeful, but I also don't want to get too excited either.  We'll see.  

    QOTW: I used to wash my hair every single day other wise it looked way too greasy and gross.  But I did no-poo for about two months this summer and have gotten to the point where I can wash every other day or so.  I try not to wash every day any more.  I have incredibly thin hair, thank you PCOS, so I actually wear wigs about 90% of the time.  My hair is really that bad :( .  But luckily I really like wearing wigs and the fun looks I can get with them that I would never be able to get from my natural hair.  

    And big hugs @Jodee37‌ and @Bananappeal145‌.  I'm so sorry that you're both dealing with this mess.  It just plain sucks.

    Oh good. DH's s/a came back.. The doctor said "no improvement" but failed to tell the truth of "worse." Count is still "normal," motility is down to 40s from 57%, and DH thought the voicemail said morphology was at .5% (down from 3.5%). This is why I don't mind NOT having answers. I'm effing scared of answers because they're usually not what I want to hear.

    Still waiting for a call back from my REs office with the date of my follow up appt. I'll need this appt, then a plan of action, then a magic wand to make fluid go away, then prep for FET (while forced to cycle with everyone else doing FETs in my practice) so realistically I'm thinking March, if ever, for my next cycle.
