Re: TWW post (week of 9/7 - 9/13)
I mean, I won't consume alcohol or caffeine, and I'll keep taking all my supplements and herbs, but other than that....
I'll pretend like you can't buy pregnancy tests in NYC. And I come home on Sat (10 dpo), and will try real hard to wait until Sun (11 dpo) to test. We'll see if that works out.
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
I should have just added everyone in one post!
My brain is mush today. 8-}
San Diego, CA
TTC #1 since June 2015
Prior D&C due to blighted ovum 2003
We are on Month 5 of TTC. Again I am 38 will be 39 in Nov.
Previous Cycles did OPKs, tracked cycle days. So after re-reading sections TCOF, tried this month to temp, but I don't think I charted right or maybe I sleep sometimes with my mouth open, so it is not working (temps were all over the place) nothing like what I see here or on sample charts.
So this month we are just doing as the Dr. recommended (the old fashion was of just have sex). Usually I O somewhere from CD 12 - 14. So this month we BD on EOD (CD 10, 12 and 14). I had some down time and was able to work from home with made for more time to BD.
We will see, FX.
Today is CD 16, I feel a bit odd getting little tingles in my stomach region, but that could be all in my head or just what I had to eat yesterday, LOL. This weekend was a large nesting weekend, my SO (DH) and I, have family visiting in a two weeks so we rented a carpet cleaner and did a good deep clean of the house. I guess that and more chores will help keep me busy as I go though the TWW

I'm doing pretty good at wallowing and being sad for just about a day, and then moving on, finding ways to look forward. So today is better than yesterday.
I know we'll build a family, one way or another, because our final step, if all else fails, is foster/adoption (something we've planned on doing anyway, even if we birth a baby or two before we get there). So I have faith. We're going to try one more IUI (maybe two), and then really find out the costs and options for IVF.
