Yay @reneeannemm the french horn rocks! My husband is a professional horn player, so I learned to know it and to love it with him. It is one of the hardest to play, but when you master it, it is so awesome!

My uterus and I are not on the same page. It can't get the picture there is nothing in there!!! My hcg went all the way from 9 to 8 in a week. At this rate it's going to take forever to get below 5 before they will do my recurrent loss panels. Amazed I ovulated with it going so slow. I know it can take a while but that seems rediculous and my office had no answers for me.
Hi ladies as a full fledged POAS addict who has a history of getting early positives I couldn't wait until Friday and I tested this morning. Got a faint positive within the 3-4 window mark. It's darker than a squinter but still pretty faint. With my history of two MMC I am cautiously optimistic about it. I called the ob office to get some blood work done to give me some peace of mind. Just left from getting draw #1 and will go back Thursday afternoon for #2.
OMG so excited! congratulations @ceclarinetlo and fingers crossed for positive results!!!

As for me, out of the blue last night, my mom texted me that perhaps I "thought about it too much." Maybe I should "relax and enjoy it!" Ugh. Really? I texted her back to make sure she meant to send this particular message to me, was she really talking about me getting KU?
I KNOW she meant no harm, and I WISH it didn't bug me (I am not someone who is typically easily offended, or offended at all, really), but I am so tired of being offered unsolicited advice, especially as it relates to this scientific anomaly of a situation I have found myself in, for which I am in NO WAY responsible...

I have been gone from the boards for a while. Just took a break. I was having a really hard time a couple of weeks ago. My anxiety skyrocketed and i was having trouble doing much of anything. Not sure what the change was, but I'm feeling stronger everyday and have been feeling better overall recently. AF showed up exactly 30 days after my D&C so I am thankful for that. Waiting to ovulate now, and will be trying soon. Very nervous but excited too.
No real rants or raves, just hoping I ovulate and things stay on track. I bought some OPKs and started testing yesterday (day 9) but I think I ovulated later ( around day 17) last time, so we will see.

1. Introduce yourself (if you're new) Hey Everyone! This is my first post here. I'm bad at introductions, so I'll just give you a bit of my history. I am so lucky to have a son who is turning 4 this month. We started TTC #2 in May of 2015, and got pregnant on our first cycle. I had a MMC, and had a D&C in July. Pregnant again in November, and a second D&C in January. This is our third cycle post MC.
2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.) TWW. My temps were a bit weird this month, so I'm either 9 or 10 dpo. Overall my chart looks good, so I'm hopeful.
3. Rants/raves: A rave: we bought a new car yesterday! Whoop! rant: I'm trying hard to keep the crazy at bay, but I know my hopes are too high for this cycle, and I'm going to be crushed if it doesn't happen.
4. GTKY: What's you favorite sound? smell? and taste? sound: rain (when I'm safely inside, curled up with a blanket and a book) smell: cooking onions, garlic, and peppers. taste: iced coffee, which I'm drinking now.
Thanks for letting me share, and I look forward to getting to know you guys.

Welcome, @Lorem1psum (love your user name, btw). I am sorry you have to be here, but welcome. Congrats on the new car! It's so exciting. Fingers crossed for your TWW.
@ceclarlinetlo Did you get the results from your first beta? You're definitely in my thoughts.
I had a follow up u/s today since Doc felt it was too early on Monday. Definitely had TWO mature follicles, both measuring where they need to be. We have been advised to trigger HCG tonight and have doctor's ordered relations 3 or 4 times over the next few days. Blood draw/beta test will be May 18.
DH and I spoke Monday night about the potential for twins and decided it was not enough to scare us off from the cycle. Our RE does not make any decision lightly and I trust him highly. While he was blunt in saying he would prefer for me not to have twins, just because it's inherently higher risk, he didn't think the potential for it was enough cause to cancel. He also made the point that two follicles may not necessarily result in twins, but it could give us an extra shot this month and that's a good thing. I need all the opportunity I can get.
Going to yoga yesterday definitely helped reset my mood. I plan to go again tomorrow and then I'll put it on pause during the TWW.
Thanks for letting me share so freely. I hung around the IF board a bit, but most of the conversations are related to IVF... I just feel more in my element here.
Happy Wednesday, ladies!

@fivetimesnoluck thank you for asking - I actually just got off the phone with the nurse. My Progesterone is at 17.6 and hcg at 19. I know it's still really early and it really only matters that the number doubles but that's just so low of an hcg that it's kind of freaking me out a bit. I was expecting it to be higher because the cut off for the test I used was 25. It's going to be a long wait for that second beta.
@fivetimesnoluck Ugh, sorry for the trouble with your mother. People sometimes don't realize how their words weigh us down. But TWINS. I am rooting for you. I await every update from you and I cheer you on in earnest from far, far away.

2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.) I suppose it's the 2ww but I'm not crossing any fingers.
3. Rants/raves: my oldest (4) has been sick all weeks I seeing him so pathetic has got me down and my littlest (2) has gone stir crazy in house ... Now this has spurred some stupid comments from my mom and dear friend about "are we sure we want another?" I want to throat punch them.
4. GTKY: What's you favorite sound? smell? and taste? sound - crunching leaves smell - pine taste - amazing steak

Welcome back, @bornmommy - I'm glad you're here. I'm sorry for your loss.
As for throat punching people, I'm so with you!! People can be so dense when it comes to their words. I would have also been very frustrated with the comments from your family. Ugh.
Thanks so much to all of you for your support. I can feel it and I appreciate every bit! Even all the way from your neck of the woods, @reneeannemm!

1. Introduce yourself (if you're new) - New-ish? I may have done one of these last week, but I can't remember and am too lazy to check. I had a natural MC on 4/5. There was no yolk on the ultrasound, but the bleeding started before the doctor called with the results, so I already knew. It was my first and it happened naturally, so other then checking my thyroid and glucose, the doctor didn't want to do much. He thinks I am having some progesterone issues, which we have to look in to. At my follow up the doctor said we can start trying again as soon as AF shows her ugly face.
2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.) Benched until AF comes
3. Rants/raves: I started to chart again about a week after the MC. My chart has been f'ed up. It told me I O'd gave me CH then decided to take them away. That was 2 and a half weeks ago. My temp spiked a little today so hopefully it sticks and FF gives me CH. My temps have been really erratic post MC, has anyone else experienced this?
4. GTKY: What's you favorite sound? smell? and taste? Sound: Running Water Smell: My Grandma's perfume. It still makes me think of her and she died when I was 6. Taste: A cheese Tarantini Panzarotti.
@MrsDramaK I started charting pretty much right after I took misoprostol and although I missed a few days here and there, you can see it was totally wacky. It was like that until the end of my first period. My CM was all over the place, too. I don't get EWCM my ordinary cycles and I had it for the weeks following, while I was still bleeding and spotted all the way to AF.

@MrsDramaK I'm really sorry for your loss. My temps have been all over the place since my MMC as well. My chart looks like absolute garbage, so don't feel alone. (Partly my fault for missing some days) I think it's probably more the norm to be a little wonky as the hormones straighten out. I got dotted crosshairs today, but I don't feel my temp rise is all that impressive so it may take them away. Hoping you get CH soon or AF just shows up so you can get on with it! Hopefully you get your progesterone issues straightened out as well.
Here is my chart (sorry I'm mobile so it may be huge):
@MrsDramaK I am so sorry you are here with us but welcome to the crazy chart party!! Post MC it usually looks like a trip through the Himalayas. This was mine post d&c. I started temping 5 days after
@SnobunnieMelthanks lady. Hope you're off the bench soon. I seriously have written and deleted five FB statuses (I never really get into it on social media because of my line of work) but I feel like this might be the time to unleash my inner bitch...

I can't temp at the same time every day cause my work schedule is really erratic (Some days in at 6:30, some days in at 9), so I know that contributes to my chart being crazy, but this is a special kind of erratic.
At first it gave me dotted CH on CD 11, then took them away on CD 21 because of the temp drop. Being a crazy person I experimented with temps for tomorrow and anything at 97.9 or higher gives me solid CH. So Fx for high temps so I can start my TWW and DH and I can jump back on the horse.
@Wishilivedinflorida i am a terrible sleeper and trying to "force myself" to sleep until the same time everyday was making it worse so I have set a default time and then I just take my temp after any good chunk of sleep. Someone times that's 2 sometimes I make it to 4. I don't put the actual temp time so it gets rid of the empty circles and is enough to show a legit temp shift. I stopped stressing trying to force a "perfect" chart.
@Wishilivedinflorida FF always gets mad at me at my inconsistent temping. Fertility literally gives me the "One or more temperatures have been taken at an earlier or later time than usual. This may make your chart harder to analyze (jaggy chart, "Rocky Mountains" shape). For the best interpretation, try to take your temperature at the same time every morning" schpiel every month. Blah Blah Blah FF, I have life happens and life DGAF about my temping.
I wake up at the same time, around 6 am, during my luteal phase, but have trouble sleeping after my period starts until ovulation, and generally get up at 8 or 8:30 which means I've been up at 6 to pee, so half of my chart it's happy with and half is "inconsistent". Ehh, just looking for a pattern and I'm satisfied with the info I'm getting.

I agree with @SnobunnieMel I temped for years and never stuck to the same time. I just took my temp when I woke up from my longest sleep. My charts were always able to see ovulation. I just left the time the same all the time on FF and put a note in of something crazy happened with my sleep.
I was wondering if any of you ladies had suggestions on blogs or any reading material you've found that has helped you in your journey? I was following one but stopped because the writer is currently pregnant and it just kills me to read about how perfect her life is and how easy she got KU. Just looking for some reading material to pass the time and occupy my brain...doesn't have to be ttc or ttcal related either

Sorry, @fivetimesnoluck , hope the yoga did the trick!
Congrats @ceclarlinetlo !
I have been gone from the boards for a while. Just took a break. I was having a really hard time a couple of weeks ago. My anxiety skyrocketed and i was having trouble doing much of anything. Not sure what the change was, but I'm feeling stronger everyday and have been feeling better overall recently. AF showed up exactly 30 days after my D&C so I am thankful for that. Waiting to ovulate now, and will be trying soon. Very nervous but excited too.
No real rants or raves, just hoping I ovulate and things stay on track. I bought some OPKs and started testing yesterday (day 9) but I think I ovulated later ( around day 17) last time, so we will see.

@ceclarlinetlo Did you get the results from your first beta? You're definitely in my thoughts.
I had a follow up u/s today since Doc felt it was too early on Monday. Definitely had TWO mature follicles, both measuring where they need to be. We have been advised to trigger HCG tonight and have doctor's ordered relations 3 or 4 times over the next few days. Blood draw/beta test will be May 18.
DH and I spoke Monday night about the potential for twins and decided it was not enough to scare us off from the cycle. Our RE does not make any decision lightly and I trust him highly. While he was blunt in saying he would prefer for me not to have twins, just because it's inherently higher risk, he didn't think the potential for it was enough cause to cancel. He also made the point that two follicles may not necessarily result in twins, but it could give us an extra shot this month and that's a good thing. I need all the opportunity I can get.
Going to yoga yesterday definitely helped reset my mood. I plan to go again tomorrow and then I'll put it on pause during the TWW.
Thanks for letting me share so freely. I hung around the IF board a bit, but most of the conversations are related to IVF... I just feel more in my element here.
Happy Wednesday, ladies!

I've decided BD will now be relations for me. It sounds so clinical that I love it. Can't wait to use it on DH.
Reintroducing me here after a break. Had my D&E for a suspected molar at 10 weeks pregnant mid March and my husband and I are talking about starting up the journey again.
2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.)
I suppose it's the 2ww but I'm not crossing any fingers.
3. Rants/raves: my oldest (4) has been sick all weeks I seeing him so pathetic has got me down and my littlest (2) has gone stir crazy in house ... Now this has spurred some stupid comments from my mom and dear friend about "are we sure we want another?" I want to throat punch them.
4. GTKY: What's you favorite sound? smell? and taste?
sound - crunching leaves
smell - pine
taste - amazing steak

As for throat punching people, I'm so with you!! People can be so dense when it comes to their words. I would have also been very frustrated with the comments from your family. Ugh.
Thanks so much to all of you for your support. I can feel it and I appreciate every bit! Even all the way from your neck of the woods, @reneeannemm!

3. Rants/raves: I started to chart again about a week after the MC. My chart has been f'ed up. It told me I O'd gave me CH then decided to take them away. That was 2 and a half weeks ago. My temp spiked a little today so hopefully it sticks and FF gives me CH. My temps have been really erratic post MC, has anyone else experienced this?
4. GTKY: What's you favorite sound? smell? and taste?
Sound: Running Water
Smell: My Grandma's perfume. It still makes me think of her and she died when I was 6.
Taste: A cheese Tarantini Panzarotti.

I can't temp at the same time every day cause my work schedule is really erratic (Some days in at 6:30, some days in at 9), so I know that contributes to my chart being crazy, but this is a special kind of erratic.
At first it gave me dotted CH on CD 11, then took them away on CD 21 because of the temp drop. Being a crazy person I experimented with temps for tomorrow and anything at 97.9 or higher gives me solid CH. So Fx for high temps so I can start my TWW and DH and I can jump back on the horse.
