I pulled a @Teenie16!

I'm pretty sure I'm 12dpo. I tested yesterday and got a stark white Wondfo so I didn't expect much this morning. However, I had a shadow. I decided to use one of my fancy tests and wouldn't you know it was a yes.

This board has helped me so much through this long journey. I continue to post here and at the 'new place'. I hope to see some more graduates soon.

I'm waiting for beta #s and will hang out for a littke while. If anyone is interested in taking over the check -ins, I'll do this week and then change over the guard.

As far as timing- 21 cycles TTC, 5 medicated, 2 iuis, ivf planned for August. This was a natural cycle and BD I'm pretty sure was -3,-2,-1.

    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

  • @Teenie16 We had done an orientation, which was a chunk of money but did not put down anything yet.  We were waiting until the full 2 years trying.  How are you? You've gotta check in :)
  • @kinderschlitz That's great! I'm so glad you didn't put any down..... we're still waiting on our refund. I know, I have to. I was just getting paranoid reading too many posts on the other board of bad things happening and was afraid they were happening to me too. So my BF forbid (HAHA) me from the boards till I calmed down.... I'm glad I decided to lurk on this board today though!!!!

  • @zantster Thank you! I totally understand the break. I hope you're doing well and things are going ok. If you decide to go the RE route I would definitely recommend where I went. Let me know!
  • @Kindershlitz Thanks for the good wishes.  We've started with an RE through Henry Ford Health System.  Right now I'm on my second round of Clomid not for ovulation regularity but for low progesterone.  I just got back results today showing it worked!  My progesterone levels went from 5.3 to 25.9!  So, I'm feeling good about our chances this year.  I'm not trying to predict what cycle/month.  But I'm just staying positive and taking it one day at a time.  Oh, and I did have a BFP in Nov. 2014.  But I MC at 5 weeks.  At least I know I can get pregnant though.  So I look at that as a silver lining.  I just started fertility acupuncture with a guy in Birmingham.  I also found out at a physical that I had low iron!  They say that can affect fertility too.  So, I'm eating more veggies, exercising, taking pre-natals, iron supplements and staying relaxed.  But it's all about you girl.  I'm so, so happy for you!! I love it when a local lady has success.  Where do I go to keep following your progress with your THB?

  • Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like you have got a lot of things working for you in the positive direction.

    I'll do the grad check in :) I also post on the dark side. Not sure if you were here for the major bump upheaval. So many regulars here moved to a different board. I can pm you that place if you'd like it.
