  • @meggyme - DH is like you, he wants to keep our lives as un-techy as possible, and I like some of that stuff. I am concerned about security and it being hack able- I haven’t researched those yet. And you are a super adventurous eater! @emmasemm - YAY! for your body getting in gear! FX for good timing and a temp rise for you! @Whitmore1027 - 75 to 33? I’d be cocooned in pj’s too! Hope it warms back up soon! How’s your job going?

  • I’ll come out of my hidey -hole to play today!  Love the fun GTKY!  

    @meggyme MH does the same thing of thinking about it for months & then TODAY IS THE DAY. 

    @emmasemm I love your sayings!  I say “a bee in your bonnet” & people call me 80 :D  MH has too many ideas of what to do today!  I haven’t seen an update on in your appt this week. I’ll go look for an update or PM me if you want :)

    @catlady2015 hack ability is part of my concern, but also our internet is already slow and we move a lot, so it’s a lot of money to have it maybe work at our next house. Like our nest, we’ll have to leave that installed here when we move for the next people to live here.

    @Whitmore1027 I saw that on your post the other day! That’s certainly scary. But like I told my husband, you buy the Ring then you have to subscribe to the service otherwise if someone swipes a package or something, great you saw it but you don’t have any recording of it. It’s another monthly expense we don’t need.

  • @jrm_14 yay to double date night!
    I think I did post in that days WTO, plus low AMH and TTC - but maybe not on the IF thread as there was too much drama.
    Short version - karotyping showed us nothing we didn’t already know. All other tests only confirmed what we already knew. I’m just waiting on one more feedback from the haematologist. The RE will talk directly with the haematologist and my rheumatologist end of this next week. He wants me off my normal meds and on Intralipids and steroids but needs to align timing and dosage with the Rheumatologist. 
    The great thing in hindsight with having a theee month break is that most of my other levels eg Vit D, thyroid etc that were low are now in normal range. I mean they should be - I take about 30 pills a day!!!
    The big question is how many eggs and what quality they are, as a lot of months have passed....

  • Month/Cycle: 9/6

    CD: 1 :disappointed:

    WAYDTGKU: BBT/charting, OPK, Cq10
     
    R/R: Both are that AF arrived 4 days early. I'm irritated but also glad since I'm in training Tue and Wed and I'm anticipating this is gonna be brutal for the first couple days.

    CS/Q: - Q related to OPK **TW loss mentioned 
    So this is first real cycle after D&E. I reading repeatedly nothong is the same after. So when should I start using OPK again? Would it be CD11 like when first starting them or should I start earlier?

    GTKY: How many points do you get from the table? (In spoiler as it’s huge) 22 which is lower then I expected :joy:
  • Month/Cycle: 5th treatment cycle

    CD: 5

    WAYDTGKU: Everything including at home ici and soft cups
     
    R/R: My mama will be here on tuesday. I'm ready but I'm not ready. 

    CS/Q: Not much to see yet

    GTKY: How many points do you get from the table? 8 no liver, beef, soy sauce, tofu, ranch dressing, oysters, nutella, or snails. 

    @prpl11butterfly Hugs for you. I would personally start on cd8 just to make sure your bases are covered. That's what I'm told to do with treatment cycles. 

    I hear ya @meggyme My husband has been on a mission to do the same stuff. We are getting a whole new security system. It makes more sense to get rid of adt because all they do is call the police for you when we could do that, but he is like super anxiety ridden about it. It drives me bonkers!


    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.
    My 7 Year Journey ***Tw in spoiler***
    IVF
    IVF #1 - September 2018; Follistim, Menopur, Cetrotide & Lupron/HCG combo trigger; PGS; ICSI
    Back on Levothyroxine

    1st Beta on 7dpt 93
    2nd Beta on 10dpt 510!

    TTC #1 since 2011. Tried for 5 years before we knew there was a one year rule.
    Diag w/MS 2016; w/PCOS & IF 2017
    New RE 2018; PCOS diagnosis taken away, IF due to ovary adhesions, but prev. RE insists PCOS IF

    IUI
    IUI #1 July 2017 w/100mg Clo+trigger; BFN; benched w/big cysts

    Medicated cycle & TI April 2018 w/7.5mg Femara+trigger; BFN
    Tried several cycles on our own; all BFN
     
  • Month/Cycle:   25/8

    CD: 11

    WAYDTGKU:  nothing, benched this cycle
     
    R/R: I am pretty sure I o'ed today, which is early and I hope it doesn't mess with our ability to try next cycle.  My LP is usually 15 days, but was only 13 last cycle.  My surgery is 4/26, so as long as I get pathology results quick, we are okay, but I feel like that stuff usually takes at least a week.  But, this cycle and last cycle have not been normal for me, so maybe I will not O as early.

    CS/Q: - More a comment than a question,  and I plan to do research.  I know there are ways to lengthen your LP, but I am guessing that is something that takes time, not something I can start mid cycle.  

    GTKY: How many points do you get from the table? 0,  I think the only thing on there I have not had is snail, mainly because it has never been presented to me.  I have hear escargot is butter and delicious, so I would love to try it, but DH is an incredibly picky eater, so I doubt I will ever go somewhere to try it.

    @prpl11butterfly, I would probably start at cd 8 too.  This is my 3rd cycle after my loss (1 was on BCP though, so it doesn't really count) and I O'ed at CD 13 last month and probably CD 11 this month.  This is early for me, so I could have easily missed my positive OPK this month.


  • @holly321 Look up B6 & LP. 
  • @jrm_14, thank you, I read a little last night and will today.  I can't take supplements right now, but will eat foods with it, and apparently vitamin C too.

    My temp did not rise, so maybe I am wrong, but my thermometer is being dumb, ie, when I tried a 2nd reading , it was a degree lower.  Maybe today is O day, who knows.  
  • @holly321 - another vote for b6. I actually take the b complex instead of b6 alone and it’s helping the spotting I had before my cycle. I used to be a fairly solid 10-11 day lp and now I’m clearly 12 so it is helping me! I hope it can also help you. Here’s a great list of foods that are high in b6 (scroll down to table 2): https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-HealthProfessional/

  • @catlady2015 great table! Though now I see I am fully justified in eating six waffles a day just to get 90% of the recommended daily amount  :D 

    @holly321 It took about six weeks to see a significant improvement after I started taking a heavy duty B complex supplement 

    @prpl11butterfly I agree with @suzycupcake that I would start CD8 with OPKs just in case. Actually I start around then every month, though I never Od that early before, but that’s also because I use both advanced and normal ones, so with the advance I like to watch for the point when the estrogen rise is first detected. 

    Month/Cycle: 37/35

    CD: 14

    WAYDTGKU: Waiting for a star to fall... 
     
    R/R: Well we had a bit of a dramatic lunch. DH was making home made schnitzel (it’s almost impossible to get gluten and lactose free ones in restaurants). Somehow he managed to catch the edge of the pan of oil (before the schnitzels were in) and it flipped and showered him with boiling oil. There were even flames for a second. Most of the oil went down the front of DHs pants and on the floor. I had visions of him being burnt by the oil, but as his pants were loose and we were fast to get them off he seems to have escaped completely unscathed. His pants will probably go in the bin however. He was so so lucky. My heart rate has not yet returned to normal. I think I might need a bar of chocolate to help me recover... 

    CS/Q: Temp on the rise again today, got a second Peak day on the CBAD which is very rare for me (second time in theee years) so thinking late today might be O as my LH seemingly hadn’t started to drop off yet this morning. Next few days temps will tell.

    @emmasemm Oh my!  So glad YH is unharmed!  Also, I’m glad your schnitzel was also unharmed ;). Additionally, how significant of a cchamge did you notice with your LP post B complex supplementation?
