August Waiting to O!

Aera11 · August 2016

@szwill86 ooo I love those colors!

CD4 and starting injections tomorrow, woohoo! I am a little nervous but I think after I get one under my belt, I'll be good. I am trying SO hard to not get my hopes up.

Now that I feel like I may actually have a chance to catch O this cycle time is moving SO. SLOW.

On CD8, should O btwn 17-20. We totally missed our window last month so we are just gonna BD like crazy for the next two weeks!

Taggarab · August 2016

The weekend was so helpful for BDing, but I will probably O at the end of this week so we need to stick with it. DH is on 2nd shift and doesn't get home until 1am usually during the week so we either have to do it in the middle of the night or in the morning. Am I the only one who is not a huge fan of morning sex?

Taggarab · August 2016

@SoonToBeMommaHowe Yes, it always seems like WTO takes forever and then TWW takes forever...so I guess it all takes forever. Haha!

SoonToBeMommaHowe · August 2016

@Taggarab Not a fan of morning sex or sex in the middle of the night. I like fresh breath kisses, lol. And good point about TWW also taking forever so I guess time does move pretty slowly through the whole thing!

Ugh. I go here now. I have been hiding and got pushed to engage on TB again yesterday after someone posted the most absurd and hurtful plea for help on the IF board. If I am going to break my hiatus, I may as well come back to y'all where I feel at home.

Our last cycle was supposed to be an IUI but was cancelled due to a cyst. At the same time, DH is working to renovate our kitchen after a dishwasher leak ruined our floor. He is exhausted, so even though we were cleared to TTC on our own, there was no way he had the energy to BD after working all day and then working on the house each night. So, we took the month off and then CD 1 shows up on Saturday (about 5 days early) with a vengeance and awful cramps. (Thank you, cyst!)

I am depressed and feeling defeated. I already had meds from the last month, so we are going to proceed with an IUI this month (had my CD 3 u/s yesterday and everything looked good). But if that doesn't work, we are going to explore Donor Egg IVF. I know most of you get the feeling, but I just wish we could catch a fucking break.

I have been lurking a little here and there, continuing to wish good outcomes for us all! xoxo

@fivetimesnoluck We've missed you around here, but completely understand your need for a break. I think about you and all you've been going through a lot. It is really just so much to bear. And your dishwasher situation on top of it is insult to injury. You are so strong and have been such a great support system to myself and the rest of us on this board. It's okay to feel depressed and defeated. We have all been there.

Is there a reason you will skip straight to donor egg IVF and not try with your own eggs?

ladipale · August 2016

@fivetimesnoluck - ugh.. what a rough month. Hope this next cycle is better and you catch a break soon.

CD9 over here. Forgot to bring my OPK to work again so trying after work again. I usually O around day 11ish so we are BDing it up this week. I'm starting to get busy again at work so hopefully that will help distract me some from counting days and over analyzing symptoms.

fivetimesnoluck · August 2016

@chloe97 Thanks for the love. I appreciate the support here so much, but at times I just want to focus less on all this stuff. (I know you get it.)

The reason for skipping straight to donor eggs is both cost and health related. Since I have DOR, low AMH and a history of losses with my own and we would likely only have the funds to go through with one batch of eggs, I think I would rather bet on someone else's. I would hate to go through the retrieval process and not have enough healthy eggs or just not enough at all. Plus the cost of using frozen donor eggs is significantly less than a fresh donor cycle.

I have been looking at My Egg Bank, which is headquartered in Atlanta, and has a few affiliate centers around the country.

rainbowturtles · August 2016

@fivetimesnoluck happy to hear from you but sorry you're having such a hard time

@Taggarab I also don't like morning sex but have had to fight for some in the FW to make sure we got some in lol
I'm currently hating ED/weekday sex, too, since DH is having a hard time with it. I wore the expensive new lingerie and DH loved it but couldn't finish

I guess I should stick to EOD but he was able to do it last cycle and it makes me pretty nervous to not do ED in FW! I got a positive OPK this morning but also a temp drop. I think DH felt bad because I woke up to a text about him looking forward to us getting naked later lol Soooo we'll give it one more shot!

rainbowturtles · August 2016

(CD15)
Jeepers! It took two more attempts but we finally got 'er done!!!! Now just fx that I actually O'd yesterday because I need a break lol

How's everyone else doing??

SoonToBeMommaHowe · August 2016

Just twiddling my thumbs over here at CD9, what a boring time in your cycle

Aera11 · August 2016

I am right there with you @SoonToBeMommaHowe. I am CD 6 and already feel like this cycle is dragging some major A... I did my first Gonal F injections yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought! I am so happy to have one under my belt.

chloe97 · September 2016

Add me to the boredom train @Aera11 and @SoonToBeMommaHowe. I'm at CD 10. I'm still waffling on whether to try this month. Had a good convo with my mom today and found out that she has a lot of the same GI issues that has been causing me a lot of hypochondria. That helps a lot. DH just asked me when the FW was. I could potentially ovulate any time next week since I ovulated on Cd 14 or 15 last month, but usually ovulate 17-19. We are staying with my brother Fri-Mon, so I think we will try Monday when we get home and maybe once or twice more and see if it takes. I've started WONDFOS and will save my CBE for next cycle when we get more serious.

My first EDD was my Grandmas birthday (June 27th). It's very possible that if we get pregnant next cycle it could be June 27th again. Grandma's not doing too well these days, so I would love to get that due date back.

fivetimesnoluck · September 2016

Same. Waiting for next steps. Cycle buddies with @Aera11 (also CD 6)!

Taking Letrozole in the afternoons and will have Menopur shot on Sunday and Monday. U/S on Tuesday to determine trigger and IUI schedule.

At least I am staying pretty busy/distracted with the kitchen renovation. We are nearly done with the floor and will be painting and moving the appliances in over the weekend. Hopefully that will be done before 5:00 on Saturday, because we are having people over to our construction zone to celebrate the return of college football and DH's birthday! (Yes, I am aware that's a crazy idea, but they're all very good friends and hopefully they won't judge the disarray.)

Taggarab · September 2016

Well I got an almost positive OPK this morning so am going to test again this afternoon and see if it's positive then. CD 13 today so if this pans out it looks like my O date might finally be stabilizing some and getting more consistent. Also, we have BDed 6 out of the last 8 days so timing would be pretty fantastic if we can get one more in tonight or tomorrow morning,
