CD, CD/DPO: CD 21/DPO 7

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Just prenatals

Rants/Raves: *TW*

My son has been in and out of the hospital with a rare blood disorder that is hopefully acute and not chronic - only time will tell, which is frustrating. As a result, I have been putting off calling my RE to ask about skipping the HSG due to radiation risk (I already have quite a bit of exposure due to frequently flying long haul). Hopefully I will be better about following up this week! In the "rave" compartment, my son responded to treatment well, now I'm just hoping he doesn't relapse too badly (the treatment is just a bandaid, his body kind of has to figure things out from here).

GTKY: What are you cooking these days in the summer heat?

I'm lucky in that my husband cooks, really well. He's been doing lean meats and green veggies lately, and we always eat a lot of salads. I will admit to having bought a flourless chocolate cake from Whole Foods last week to lift the family spirits up a bit, given the multiple hospital trips this month, and you know what, it did work.

@marijaa333 I’m so sorry to hear about your son and all you’ve had on your plate but glad he responded to treatment. The chocolate cake sounds amazing! I’ve been trying to not do sugar or chocolate while trying all this fertility business!

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): just failed FET last week so ramping up for my second

CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD2

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): I’m honestly not sure if I’m taking a cycle off or jumping right into BCP before my next FET. I wish my period hadn’t cone on the weekend when my clinic was closed and hoping I can just double up on BCP and proceed from there. But I’m also in a quandary about wanting my RE to do an endo scratch/ERA for me and last conversation with him about the era they don’t do them and he sounded annoyed. But this next FET is our last shot at this so I don’t want to always wonder what if.

Rants/Raves: just leaving Denver and man the congestion! Ready to get home and in the road all day right now (DH driving).

GTKY: What are you cooking these days in the summer heat? Anything we can grill, esp burgers (although grass fed)

marijaa333 · July 2018

Thank you @Momifbysea ! I hope you have a great cycle, whether you're taking a break or not!

PoeMasque · July 2018

@marijaa333 I’m glad it sounds like your son is responding to treatment, how stressful!

@Momifbysea when will you know the timeline for your next FET? I completely agree with you, if this is your last chance, you should be able to do whatever you feel is going to give you the best odds.

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): Today is O day!! Woot!

CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD14

What are you doing this cycle? OPK with TI

Rants/Raves: this weekend was my bachelorette party and this coming weekend is a close friends bachelorette party, then we get married on the 18th of August. Really looking forward to all of the friends, family, and fun we have coming our way! (Would be the perfect cycle to get KU, since my period is slated to arrive wedding weekend

)

GTKY: What are you cooking these days in the summer heat? We’ve been doing lots of smoothies and burrito bowls.

Prenatals, coq10 and dhea when I remember

Momifbysea · August 2018

Question ladies- difference between DHA and DHEA?

Mack2342 · August 2018

DHa is in prenatals dhea is not.

marijaa333 · August 2018

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Update from my end: CD1 today (darn, I thought we timed it well last month) but my son is doing better (woohoo!). I'll call back the RE to ask about the HCG... I mostly dropped the ball on RE stuff when my son was going through his health stuff, most of July.

Momifbysea · August 2018

@marijaa333 sorry for cd1, that’s always hard no matter how many cycles we’ve been trying I think! And understandable about you being focused more on your son versus the re. Hoping now that you can move forward!

@Mack2342 so as embarrassed as I am to say this, if they aren’t tiny pills then I’m horribke at swallowing them so do all my supplements as gummies or tinctures. Any ideas what foods are goid for getting dhea?

Mack2342 · August 2018

@Momifbysea the dhea is a tiny pill. Coq10 is a large one. My RE recommended both. I would have to google what the difference is because I don’t remember

marijaa333 · August 2018

@Momifbysea thanks! and I'm with you on the pill size!!

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): The never-ending TWW

CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD15/ 1DPO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): OPKs, temping, prenatal, gave up smoking and drinking in June 2018 (though I did have a couple glasses of wine the other night waiting to O)

Rants/Raves: I am so excited about this month! I think we have a really good chance! Last month I thought I was pregnant bc I got two lines on a FRER ovulation test and mistook it for a pregnancy test. I was so humiliated and upset after telling my bf, mom and sister.

GTKY: What are you cooking these days in the summer heat? This summer I've been really into salads and broccoli and zucchini pasta! Yunmm

marijaa333 · August 2018

@miss_poppy good luck!!
