What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Started Estrace for FET, prenatals, baby aspirin, vitamin D, CoQ10, maca when I remember
Rants/Raves: DH was in such a funk this morning and just miserable to be around. DD picked up on it and that he actually said maybe he would just stop coming home, which has really hurt her. I can't believe he said this in front of a child! Granted, he was upset with me for picking on him (and I did later apologize) but STILL! She was really sad about it so I had to do damage control because she feels he doesn't want to be with us. Sucky morning! Then my work surprised me with a "quick save us!" deadline with me having to redraft a PowerPoint presentation and send it to a client in less than 45 minutes. All this and I'm trying to DE-STRESS in prep for this FET! I'm like ready to cry today.
Questions for the group: none
GTKY: Labor Day weekend plans? Just trying to still work on unpacking our moving boxes, one room at a time...but also, the weekend are precious for trying to hang with DD since she's in preschool all week, so she needs to have time with at least one of us. DH has been working 7 days a week and overtime every day trying to stack some vacation time up since there's this rare overtime opportunity for the next month...
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): 8 DPO
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): prenatals coq10 and dhea

Questions for the group:
GTKY: Labor Day weekend plans? Red white and boom festival, then the day after labor day having wisdom teeth surgery
AFM, I just got my treatment schedule for this FET. It will be on September 21st. It could've been on the 14th but the office is busy and the next week was the first week I could get on. I feel like I'm getting a summer cold so maybe it's a blessing that it's another week out so I have more time to get over it if I do end up going into a full blown cold.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): cd 24
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): CoQ10, prenatals, OPK, TI
Rants/Raves: the last three cycles my leuteal phase has been like 5 days. So it’s just been feeling pointless to even try. I read this is sometimes common for a few months postpartum.
Questions for the group:
GTKY: Labor Day weekend plans? We are doing massive yard work. Not really massive, just clearing a huge bed and planting it, but we have horrible clay soil with lots of rocks and it’s like chipping away at cement, it sucks! Haha.

Rants/Raves: DH suffers from ED. Every cycle seems to be passing by with no change.I am losing it with time. So hard to hold myself in this journey.Getting frustrated. Will be happy to have suggestions from you all
Questions for the group: Two questions - 1) Mentioned above. 2) Both of us are taking multivitamins, maca and folate. Also, trying to be regular with physical fitness. Is there anything else we need to do?
GTKY: Labor Day weekend plans? We had a wonderful labor day weekend at West Coast with frens.
Momifbysea - Hope things get sorted. GL for the FET cycle.
@ Mack2342 - I am sure you had a great time with Mommy!
@pegs007 in answer to your first question, I guess I’m just really stubborn lol. But seriously it takes a toll on us - how long have you been trying? For me it’s 3 years and I sometimes dream of this chapter being over but I also don’t want regrets of knowing I could have tried more/longer. But that’s different for each person/couple. The group on here is so valuable though in helping supportvyou when you need to be lifted up. We all get it!
For your second question, it sounds like your supplements and exercise are good. I read some books that convinced me to organic if you can swing the cost (if not at least buy organic for the dirty dozen). Those books also convinced me to look st my beauty product/makeup exposures to toxins (google environmental working group where you can see products rated).
We have been trying since last 8 months only but I am already losing it due to multiple factors like age (I am 38), no kid, DH's condition and flying time. Yes we are already eating and using organic/natural stuff so, that's taken care of.
I wanted to ask you about acupuncture? How was it? Did you experience any significant difference
Just wanted to update you all that for the first time since starting all this RE stuff as well as our year on our own prior, I am LOOKING AT TWO LINES ON A FRER!!! The second one is faint but it is there DH agrees. This morning is 6dp5dt and I had taken one yesterday at 3pm that was a squinter but barely there. We are cautiously filled with hope here.
