R/R: MH is incredibly stressed about work, so that's getting me down. Today is the last day of classes though! Woohoo! My students are giving presentations today, and then they just have to get their final paper turned in. I am so looking forward to having a break!
CS/Q: Nothing to see.
GTKY: Who would play you, in the movie version of your life? Um... this is a really hard one! I'll have to think about it and edit later.
Month/cycle: 6/7+1ntnp CD/DPO: Record Breaking but WFAF per bloodwork. Timing: Meh Testing: BFN. 0 bHcG. (HSG was Wednesday) R/R: I’m slightly relieved this cycle is drawing out, because that gives us slightly more time to get everything arranged for IUI cycles in January (FX big time). GTKY: Julia Roberts.
Testing: Beta next Wednesday. Starting meds for IVF #2 after that
R/R: So I ovulated from 4 follicles this cycle, and I don't know that means means increased progesterone or something but my boobs are so sore and my GI system is so unhappy. I cannot wait for AF to come and make these symptoms go away. I feel so bloated and awful.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Who would play you, in the movie version of your life?
R/R: Rave - I’ve pretty much finished my Christmas shopping! Rant - Just been a bad day, bus was late, Fi forgot what I asked him to do and we were supposed to be seeing friends tonight that we planned a month in advance but Fi thinks he’s too sick to go now.
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: Who would play you, in the movie version of your life? I would love to say Sarah Hyland but I think I’m reaching...
R/R: We had our work Christmas party yesterday
and we played these ridiculous games. We were broken into teams and then send
one person up against another. I had to stack oreos on my forehead in front of
everyone. I was super embarrassed but it was actually all pretty fun. I won
with 10 oreos lol
CS/Q: None GTKY: Who would play you, in the movie version of your life? Emma Stone.
I think she’s really good at playing an awkward person which would be perfect
for my life.
@catlady2015 Ooohh Anna Faris is a good one. @darkstar42 I’m sorry your DH is stressed
about work. I hate when DH is stressed because it makes me stressed. Yay for
last day of classes! @jennycolada FX for
you tomorrow! @kiwi2628 I’m sorry
you feel like crap. Hopefully AF comes for you soon. @craftyg Sorry your SO
is sick! Can you go out without him?

Testing: Probably test early to crush the SS. Thinking next Wednesday before a GNO.
R/R: It's Friday! We've had a fun but busy week. Also finally ordered H's present so I'm feeling pretty good.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I think Anna Kendrick. I've been told I look kinda like her when my hair is brown. I also think we have a similar sense of humor and can be outgoing introverts.
@darkstar42 Yay for the break! Have any plans for it?
@jennycolada Work sure has been keeping you busy! Sounds like you like this job a lot better than your last one though! Also, your chart is so pretty. FX for you!
@jrm_14 Impressed with your ability to find the silver lining. When will you know what your protocol is for the IUI?
@kiwi2628 Sorry you're feeling unwell. I still hope you're the specialist of SS and these symptoms are good signs.
@craftyG Sorry for the rough day. Will you still go to see your friends?
@eleven_ Your work environment sounds very...fun? There's lots of team building it seems like. Do you enjoy that?
@SkilledSailor I love Anna Kendrick. I follow her on IG and Twitter and she is so funny! Good choice.
Yes, there is a lot of the team building at my work. I love and hate it. I'm also an introvert so I prefer to be left alone, but once I actually am pulled from my shell, I have a lot of fun.

@catlady2015. Yay for payday! Are you planning to do last minute holiday shopping or something for yourself? @darkstar42. I’m sorry to hear about Yh’s work stress...there is enough stress around the holidays as it is! I know you are looking forward to your break. How long will you be off? @JennyColada. Holy temp spike! That’s awesome. GL with testing tomorrow. . And way to go on the work manual. @jrm_14 Hair turned out great! I’m not super picky about that kinda thing and I just told my hairstylist to go a little darker and trim. She always does a good job. So I think I missed an update! Did you find an RE you like? Why did you have a blood test this week for hcg? How are you feeling about moving toward IUI. (I’m sure just having a plan makes you feel better). @kiwi2628 I’m sorry! Those symptoms do not sound pleasant. I get terrible PMS symptoms, so I’m pretty relieved by the time AF arrives. (Of course I’d rather not have any symptoms and be preggo, but you know what I mean! . Also, I love Emma Watson! @craftyG Way to go finishing your Christmas shopping! Sorry your FI is sick. . What movie were you hoping to see? @eleven_ Oh how fun! I think I would totally love that kind of party. What line do work are you in? Also, Emma Stone is awesome! @SkilledSailor Glad you were able to order YH’s present. It feels good to cross gifts off the list! And Anna Kendrick is so talented. Are you making plans to see Pitch Perfect 3? I can’t wait.
Month/cycle: 8/7 (1 benched)
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: so-so
Typical LP Length: 13-14...let’s hope 13 as I hate cycles dragging on!
Testing: no plans (WFAF)
R/R: Cookie party with neighbors last night was so fun. I ate too many cookies and had too much wine! Now I need to get back on the workout train!
@skilledsailor I’m not 100% sure yet, but it will be letrozole & ovidrel as well as crinone gel. I am not sure yet if there will be follistem. Silver lining was all great until CD1.
@dukestar5 We went to the RE on Monday. MH he checked as as a-okay. My issue seeming is due to the progression of autoimmune disease as well as low progesterone. For now, we are leaving the partial septum. The hcg via blood was just standard for the RE Labs. HSG was on Wednesday. We have a meeting with Re again next Friday for a plan and rest of results. I’m somewhere between heart shattered I was ‘right’ about something going in & being validated we need help and glad I pushed to be seen. Glad your hair turned out well! I never stress over my hair anymore. Cut it however, it grows. I’m currently working towards marking hair donation off my life bucket list, so I’ve been keeping it only trimmed.
@eleven_ Haha that's my feelings on what you've described. It's cool that they want the employees to bond but I cringe at the thought of actually doing some of those things.
@dukestar5 Yes! We're heading to my parents' later than originally planned to now we're thinking we can see Pitch Perfect either Friday or Saturday. I'm excited! You? A cookie party sounds fun! Was it an exchange or a decorating thing?
@jrm_14 *hugs* CD1 never gets easier. Got vegan ice cream all stocked?
@SkilledSailor Not yet-I left my purse at home this morning. The damn cat has probably strewn it’s contence everywhere by now. Once I find my wallet, I have to go to the store.
@jrm_14 I'm so sorry about CD1, my friend. I am glad you have the plan for next cycle though.
@SkilledSailor Yes! I cannot wait. I think we will make it a girls' night. As for the cookie party, my neighbor who hosted it made cookies for everyone to decorate. The rest of us brought appetizers/drinks to share.
@darkstar42 That's such a bummer that YH is getting so stressed about work. Can you guys do something this weekend to relax and chill out some? @JennyColada What a temp spike! FX for you! @jrm_14 Sorry about AF, friend but so very glad you have a good plan in place now
@kiwi2628 So sorry you feel gross. Hope you feel better soon and in time for the holidays! @eleven_ Those games sound so awkward and embarrassing but I'm glad you managed to have some fun still. Did you get a prize since you won the game? @dukestar5 Yay for cookies and wine! Do you still run during winter? I can't remember where you live or if it gets cold there. @melbel0824 answering your question from yesterday's thread...Yes, testing on Monday or Tuesday. Glad you're still in the pact with me. About work, yes, the job offer is for a lead editor position. I'm pretty lucky in that all of the offices in my organization are hurting for editors, so pretty much everyone is willing to hire me! That sounds kind of cocky, but I don't mean it that way. I mean, I'm good at my job but not the very best in my field, but I think all of the good editors have been retiring, so everyone needs one!
Month/Cycle: 7/6 (1 benched)
CD/DPO: too lazy to check FF / 8 dpo
Typical LP Length: 9-11
Timing: Great
Testing: Monday or Tuesday
R/R: Rave: It's snowing today! Don't love being out and about in the snow but it looks so pretty and it feels Christmas-y.
I'm new here and just posted in the newbie thread!
Month/Cycle: 60/74
CD/DPO: 20/2 (it's a weird cycle; I had my HSG on CD 10 and I usually ovulate around CD12)
Typical LP Length: 13
Timing: I think we nailed it but only time will tell (CD 15, 17, 18)
Testing: I set an alarm to test on 13 DPO. Since this cycle will likely be much longer than usually secondary to the late ovulation I didn't want to drive myself crazy.
R/R: Rant - I generally love wrapping xmas gifts but this year I procrastinated so I need to do all of them this weekend to ship them on time.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Who would play you, in the movie version of your life? Kate McKinnon. She looks nothing like me but I like to think I'm as funny (I'm allowed to dream lol).
Two Furbabies: Mika (american eskimo) and Gypsy (wire-haired terrier, dachshund mix)
Twins: Kaiden and Zara born 10/2018 conceived after 6 years of infertility via a medicated IUI
@offtoneverland Yes! I'm always running, usually regardless of the weather. How about you? Have you gotten back into it? Enjoy the beautiful snow day! Also, if by some magic Christmas miracle AF does not appear, I may test with you and @melbel0824 on Tuesday. @linz36 Welcome! Good luck finishing up all of your wrapping.
@dukestar5 That's awesome that you run through the winter! We used to run all year round. I trained for the Disney World Marathon a couple of times, which is in January, so I trained throughout the winter. Because of that I kind of burned myself out on winter running! I'm such a wuss in the cold weather now.
Sorry for the post and ghost, I went from looking after a poorly Fi to him making a sudden recovery so we were able to see our friends after all!
@catlady1215 Who doesn’t love payday! @darkstar42 That’s awesome barely anything standing between you and Christmas! @JennyColada Fingers crosses for tomorrow! @kiwi2628 Sorry about feeling all bloated and I love Emma watson, she’s just so amazing @eleven_ Oh god I would hate that, I kinda understand for like a team building thing but for a Christmas party just let people relax they’ve deserved it! @jrm_14 Oh I’m sorry, all the chocolate and wine for you! @SkilledSailor I love Anna Kendrick I think she’s hilarious, what did you decide to get your husband?

We’ve only had one day of it coming down quite heavy but it was just too wet to settle @linz36 Welcome, good luck with your wrapping. I like to make a big deal of it where I put on a Christmas movie, drink baileys in a Santa hat and wrap all my presents with bows and candy canes and all those little extras!
