Rants/Raves: Having a tough time after my loss last month - my nephew was born Sunday and while I'm so happy for them, it's still hard seeing all the pics coming in between my mom and aunts and cousins. Just tough and I feel like crawling into a hole for a bit. Also, turning 44 in just a couple weeks so of course I'm googling "pregnant naturally at 44" like a madwoman these days.
Questions for the group: not right now
GTKY: As we get to the end of August, what else is on your summer bucket list before it comes to a close? I need to get some hiking in, have been traveling like crazy for family events so will be nice to get out in nature and breathe! We did get to the community pool Saturday and I told my husband "not bad for $5 each, just use your imagination and pretend this pool is on a cruise ship or something" haha!
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD 19, and I think DPO 3 (FF says DPO 5 but I'm pretty sure it's wrong)
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Prenatals, CoQ10, baby aspirin
Rants/Raves: Went to our IVF class today and it was actually interesting!
Questions for the group: Am I being totally unrealistic that a single IVF cycle could be all we need? Should I mentally prepare myself for 3-4+ cycles?
GTKY: As we get to the end of August, what else is on your summer bucket list before it comes to a close? We still haven't been to the beach this summer, because of my son's medical issues. Perhaps we can plan it for after his next treatment (or if he ends up not needing one, early to mid-September).
The beach sounds lovely. What coast are you on? We are doing a cruise in November and I can't wait to get my toes in the water. So healing to hear the sounds of the waves crashing...love it!
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): 3 DPO
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): prenatals coq10 and dhea
Rants/Raves: I teach jazzercise with this girl I don’t really care for. We have sons just a few months apart. Just before my first loss I mentioned that I had hoped to be pregnant again soon and she basically told me I needed to enjoy my son and that’s what she planned on doing. It really pissed me off. Well I did get pregnant shortly after conversation but had MC and shortly after that she announced she was pregnant with twins. So last night we had meeting and she was there with her 18 month old twins and it just annoyed the hell out of me. I hate being that way but just can’t help it
Questions for the group:
GTKY: As we get to the end of August, what else is on your summer bucket list before it comes to a close? I need to come up with something as I’m getting my hip replaced in October
As for your hip, perfect excuse to have an amazing rest of summer before you're laid up, right? I know two people who had knee replacements this summer and I think it was about 6 weeks of rehab, etc. til they were back up and back themselves. But they both say how worth it it was and are living pain free now!
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): 28
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): got education day set up for September 25th so we can start IVF stuff

Rants/Raves: Re: the WTO: had EWCM from about Thurs to Monday, with heaviest amounts Sat and Sun. But I was traveling (with hubby) and didn't bother with OPKs, though I kept temping. We arrived back Monday evening. My app predicted O on Monday, but after no temp rise Tuesday, I did an OPK, positive. Still no temp rise this am, OPK this am was technically negative though there was a faint second line, and my CM was scanty yesterday and even more so today. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sex was about daily beginning the 11th, but toward the end of our trip we slowed down. And I feel like mentioning positive OPKs puts too much pressure on hubby (it's resulted in ED issues; had issues yesterday but ultimately it was OK). So I like to hope there are enough swimmers for whenever O actually happens, but at this point, NO CLUE.
Questions for the group: None
GTKY: As we get to the end of August, what else is on your summer bucket list before it comes to a close? Not much. Our 1st anniversary is Sept 23 so we're talking about a weekend trip (probably within driving range), but that's getting into fall (my favorite season!).
AFM, AF started today and this was my month on BCP. I expected it Saturday as that would be day 28. Weird, am I broken? Or is this a perimenopause sign to have such a short cycle? I’m always always between 28-31 days, always. Makes me nervous going into this FET.
Still no BBT jump for me this am. Not even a slow-rising creep. If there's no increase tomorrow, I'm thinking this is likely an anovulatory cycle.
I did talk with my clinic nurse today and my endo scratch biopsy came back negative meaning everything is A okay! That was some relief, just trying to rule out any little thing that might keep this next transfer from working. I should get my treatment calendar in the next 5 business days she said, but I am to start Estrace tomorrow - woohoo! I am so ready to get started!
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD9
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): BBT, prenatals, OPK, PreSeed
Rants/Raves: testing with OPKs next monday, yay!

AFM, so I went to see a naturopath for a free consult today and ugly cried in her office when she asked me to tell her why I was there and I started recounting the failed cycles. How embarrassing! Then she suggested an acupuncturist in my city so I walked in to check the place out and made my first appt consultation for Tuesday. Excited and nervous to try it before this transfer.
How was your weekend?
