    I’m crossing everything for both of you!!!

    **tw**


    married 11.1.14

    ttc #1 since 5.18

    bfp 12.22.18 letrozole + progesterone

    d&e due to trisomy 13/hydrops at 15wks

    bfp 7.21.19 letrozole + IUI 

    little girl A born 3.26.20

  • @emeraldduchess I don’t know much about charts but from what I do, yours looks great !! Fingers crossed for you. 

    Month/Cycle: 9/9 (3rd after loss) 

    CD/DPO: 30/14..

    Timing: spot on according to the app

    Typical LP length: 12-14 

    Testing: I should test today but I’m having major anxiety and know that I won’t handle today very well if I have a negative result. So testing tomorrow. 

    R/R: rave- today is a BEAUTIFUL day. I’ve been up a total of 30 minutes and been outside to let my dogs out and it’s a full blue sky and warm sun. ALSO I got a call yesterday that the fertility clinic in the next town over will FINALLY be able to see us in June and that they already have a plan. So I’m hoping that with this cycle probably being a flop, we have hope for June. If this cycle is negative, might just bench myself for mental health for next month. 

    Rant in spoiler. TW for pregnant and LC. 

    I won’t test today because if it’s negative, I’ll probably cry during dinner. It’s my bfs sisters birthday today and we are having a family dinner at the mother in laws. She wanted to make a big announcement about her pregnancy to me but my MIL squashed that dream. But I know she’s going to talk about it (as she should. She’s allowed to be excited) and probably put her 1 year old in a ‘big brother’ shirt. It’s just a lot to take in when you have yet another probable unsuccessful cycle. 


    CS/Q: I’ve asked this a couple times but haven’t seen anyone answer (I’m usually super late to the party for the days TWW posts haha. But has anyone with PCOS found temping at all helpful ? I’ve read conflicting reports that because of pcos making our temperature run higher then normal so it can make the information inaccurate. 

  • Lurking!

    @kels0091 Not sure if you’re on Metformin but temping and OPKs seem to be fine for me in regards to PCOS. My O date used to be a little later but it has shifted sooner due to a lot of life changes I made to help regulate hormones and deal with my autoimmune diseases as well. I know Kiki also has PCOS and didn’t have luck with OPKs but was fine with temping I think.

  • @ruby696 enjoy working in the yard! I wish I had the ability to grow ANYTHING.  I tried herbs once but couldn't make it work.  I might get a succulent for my classroom though, just to prove to myself I can do it. I say pee party tomorrow! :D

    @chichiphin I find around 8dpo I get in a funk, too. Hugs to you. <3  Hope you are doing something fun this weekend to take your mind off things. 

    @kels0091 so many hugs to you today, hun. <3   I am sure that dinner tonight won't be easy.  It sounds like your MIL is awesome and will look out for you, though. I hope you won't need to keep that appointment in June, but I'm so glad they already have a plan for you! 
  • @brookert615 thank you 🙏🏻 that’s really good to know !! I was on metformin for like a week lol but it made me TMI have horrible diarrhea. I was getting dehydrated. And then started a job so I couldn’t be running to the washroom as much. Im debating trying it again and taking it in the evenings. when do you take yours ? Any tips ? 

    @emeraldduchess ❤️❤️ Thank you! I’m more concerned about my bf. It’s his sister and they already but heads over a lot. I don’t think he’s going to bite his tongue. 
  • @emeraldduchess Hope you get through all the grading. Your chart looks great!

    @ruby696 Have fun planting your tomatoes! Yum!

    @kels0091 Hope you get through the dinner okay.. I’m sure it won’t be easy. Hopefully she keeps the chatter to a minimum.

But I know I should try to get out and live my life (and I also want to support my coworker) so I’ll go for a couple hours. Then tomorrow we have a family party.

    @kels0091 I take it right after a big, healthy dinner with a full glass of water. I was getting nausea at first with it but if you stick with it - it does get better! I have the extended release one though. I would work yourself up to the dose, too. Like maybe start with a quarter dose for a week, bump up to half dose, etc.

    @misshelen86 Sending internet hugs your way, girl! Hope you can enjoy the parties!

    edit: words!

    Month/Cycle:  10 / 8 (3rd AL)

    CD/DPO: 27 / 5 supposedly

    Timing:  Great if the OPK is right! My temps are not confirming but I have had a lot of anxiety and sleeplessness effecting my temps.

    Typical LP length:  12 days

    Testing: not even on the horizon

    R/R: It’s going to frost tonight so we have to cover our plants - wth come on Spring! I am making homemade broth right now and will make some chicken noodle soup for dinner - perfect for a cold, rainy day.

     CS/Q: I picked OPK because my temps are not cooperating. It could be that I haven’t O’d yet - I have been having very long cycles since my CP in January.

     @emeraldduchess - at least the rain keeps the allergies away! You have a lovely chart. @ruby696 I’m sure the tomato seeds thing depends on where you live. The seed place here has tiny little seedlings here in CT but I would give them a try! At least they won’t get frozen. @kels0091 I hope the dinner went ok - it is hard to see other people pregnant when we are going through this. @misshelen86 unless you are going to drink so much you are going to get sick I wouldn’t worry about it! You don’t share your bloodstream at 9 DPO regardless. :)@chichiphin I always say I won’t test early and then always test early too. It’s all just so much pain!
