Re: WTO Thursday 8/8
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT charting, CM & CP tracking, OPKs, Pre-Seed, Mucinex (CD10 to 1DPO), and baby aspirin.
R/R: Rave - I am doing a group project for grad school, and normally I loathe group projects, but the four of us have been in the same classes together for the past 3 years and have worked together on group projects in the past, so we know we work really well together. We call ourselves the dream team, lol. It's so nice having other people who are equally dedicated to a project as I am, because I've had some really crappy classmates on group projects before, and I have zero patience for that nonsense this close to graduation.
CS/Q: Nope, though I think the 2 days of pre-AF spotting that I had (which I don't normally get) was actually just super light AF, so I may actually be on CD10 instead of CD8. Gonna be monitoring CM and OPKs earlier this cycle just to be sure.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
Hello! I’m going to hang out here if that’s ok with you all. We aren’t trying this cycle, but I already miss participating in the dailies!
Month/Cycle: 15/11/1 AL#2 (I corrected this from before because I realized I didn’t count my 1st AL cycle since we didn't try then either, but it was still a cycle...a really, really long cycle.)
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Nothing, waiting for RE appt. next week and will hopefully have a plan before the next cycle.
R/R: It has been a strange and crappy week, so I’m happy that it’s almost over! On a bright note, the final season of Jane the Virgin comes to Netflix tonight, so I will be binge watching that over the next several days!! My DH is a trooper and will watch some of it with me (while playing video games on the laptop of course)!
CS/Q: None.
@ttcbabyodo I always hated group projects...that’s good you have the dream team to work with though!!
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Ava, OPK, Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, fertility testing
R/R: I have my Dr. Appointment this morning to go over some of my bloodwork I’ve had done so far. I’m nervous but dying to know the results. Rant: DH and I had an argument last night. I wanted to HIO- I finally got EWCM, which doesn’t happen often for me. He was tired from a long day at work (I left before him and arrived home after him, so I also had a “long day”) and he was just so grumpy. We rarely ever fight, and I hate that we are at that point in TTGP that it’s becoming a chore and something we argue over.
CS/Q:
TTC since 9/2018
10/19- First RE visit
2/20- DH had surgery for bilateral varicoceles
7/20- IUI with 5 mg letrozole- BFN
9/20- IVF. 9 eggs retrieved, 9 mature, 8 fertilized with ICSI, 7 blasts, 4 PGT-A normal

@bluetickgal You're welcome to post here whenever you feel like it! I hope your week turns around!
@misshelen86 UGH, arguments during FW are the WORST. MH and I got into an all-out screaming and door slamming argument during my FW recently, and I had to come back out of my room with my head hanging and apologize so that we wouldn't miss out on FW HIO. Hopefully you guys can get in some good make up sex.

I haven't been participating in the dailies because I'm still waiting for AF to come back. I've been lurking and really just want to be part of it all. Please let me
Month/Cycle:13/12/1 AL (still waiting to officially start again)
CD: 26
WAYDTGKU: perscription prenatals, tracking cycles with an app, timing and plan on using OPKs
R/R: Finally having summer! Sort of. Rained most of June, all of July and has finally calmed down enough to be able to go outside. Lots of rain for where I live and it was not normal at all. No rants really, as long as it doesn't rain again.
CS/Q: None.
@ttcbabyodo group projects were never my favorite. Nice to hear you have a great team working with you.
@bluetickgal sorry for the bad week. Hope things sort themselves out soon and you get back on track. Nice that you have a tv show to get your mind off things for even a little while:)
@misshelen86 hope things with you and YH get better soon. Its frustrating trying to get KU and it can seem like really hard work after a long time of trying. Sending positive vibes and thoughts your way!
Month/Cycle: 13/4 AL
CD: 22
WAYDTGKU: PNV, FF, VBBT, OPKs, PreSeed, Softcups, SMEP
R/R: Still here with no O. Although I did get some EWCM this morning, so FX it's happening soon! My OPKs keep getting lighter. TMI warning: Yesterday I realized I accidentally left my softcup in for like 20 hours.
Hopefully that didn't screw anything up too badly. Might explain why I didn't see any CM yesterday, though. My MIL is coming to stay with us tomorrow. Thankfully it's only for 1 night, but ugh. It never helps my anxiety any. I'm probably going to say something to her if she asks about when we're having a baby again. She's been pretty much harassing us about it for the last several months. Also nervous about if I get my +OPK tonight and then we end up having to HIO while she's here because she's so effing nosey.
CS/Q: Just trudging through this never-ending cycle.

@shamrocandroll thanks so much! Oh, I added Good Girls to my list last night and will probably start it after Jane! That’s super frustrating about the long/confusing cycle...hopefully the EWCM is a great sign that O is finally near though! Good luck with your MIL...hopefully she keeps her comments to herself this time!
@ottergirl81 thank you!! Ugh, sorry you’ve had so much rain...I hate rain! Glad you are getting some summer weather now and can enjoy it! Hope AF returns for you soon so you can move forward with trying!
@shamrocandroll I am a firm believer that there's a "special" place in the next life for people who ask about others' reproductive plans. No one should be asking you about that!! FX she drops it.
IVF Cycle #1 February 2020 4 embryos frozen, 1 fresh transfer = CP
FET #1 Natural Cycle March 2020 CXL'd due to Covid-19
FET #1 Natural Cycle June 2020 - CP #2
FET #2 Natural Cycle July 2020 - BFP!!!!!! Beta #1 = 273

@ttcbabyodo ahh group projects are the worst! I feel like I constantly had them in grad school and I hated it, especially since I was commuting 6 hours round-trip while teaching full time. I'm glad you have a good group that you've worked with before though. That makes all the difference!
@bluetickgal sorry it's been a crappy week. Hopefully you have a much better weekend.
@misshelen86 ugh that's rough. Sorry you had a fight with YH during FW.
@ottergirl81 welcome to the dailies! I also hate super rainy summers. Glad the weather is finally clearing up and you can enjoy it.
@shamrocandroll FX that you're O-ing! Sounds like you're getting good signs! Ugh and eff the nosey MIL questions. So frustrating! I don't understand why people think it's okay to ask about it.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CF, FF, prenatals
R/R: DH and I have our 5th anniversary coming up next weekend and are excited to get a date night out. He asked if we wanted to get each other anything for it and I totally blanked on any ideas. When did I get so boring? Haha.
CS/Q: no
@gingermama29 Thank you. Happy anniversary! Enjoy your date night!

@ttcbabyodo Hallelujah for a good group! What are you going to grad school for?
@bluetickgal I'm really sorry to hear about your crappy week.
@misshelen86 ugh I hate the fights over hio
I'm sorry.
@ottergirl81 Glad the sun is out for you! Rain can get so depressing.
@shamrocandroll goodness you have to be O'ing soon! It's perfecting that egg
- you can make it!
@gingermama29 Happy Anniversary! We are boring too.

R/R: The birthday party went well! and I'm on vacation (well off to visit family) for the next 5 days. woo hoo! Rant is that my temps are still acting weird, come on body.
CS/Q:
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
@ttcbabyodo whoohoo dream team! I was never a fan of group work, but I will say grad school group projects weren’t as bad. Maybe because it’s a field specific to everyone who’s in it? Masters in counseling is awesome, btw!
@bluetickgal Thanks for the heads up about Jane the virgin! It’s been so long since I’ve watched, but I’m excited to get to it...eventually. Man, all these good shows are stacking up in my queue! I’m glad YH has been supportive during this crappy time! Hang in there!
@gingermama29 whenever I ask mh if we’re getting anything for each other for a holiday, I’m always holding my breath that he says no. Birthday and MAYBE Christmas is enough for me to stress about gifts for him. We tend to throw in an escape room together if we can pull off the planning end of things. Have you made any specific date night plans?
@shamrocandroll that cm is promising! I’ve definitely o’ed in the 20s in multiple cycles (typically when ppl stay over at our house), so my money is still on impending o. I hope mil behaves!
@ottergirl81 waiting is such agony! I feel your pain! I was sitting on the bench for 4 months. I hope your wait is over soon!!
@misshelen86 I’m so sorry for the fight. Anxieties run high between mh and me around fw sometimes, and sometimes I can just sense that fight is coming. It’s a double whammy during that window! I hope you guys are able to make up in all ways. 😉 Also, I’m so glad your appointment went well!! I hope it’s seamless getting referred over to the re!
Month/Cycle:16/14
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: letrozole, dr visits to check on egg #, pnv, bbt, cm, opk
R/R: I had an emotional day yesterday, but I had a good chat with mh and the end of the day which helped a good bit. I’m trying not to dwell on my feelings too much until I’m off letrozole since I’m betting the hormones are affecting my emotional state. Tonight is the last night of pills, so I’m looking forward to hopefully having my emotions steady out some.
CS/Q: nope! But score for no more af!
Waiting is the hardest for so many things in this life, with waiting though so many good things can a will happen!
@shamrocandroll good luck with your MIL. Mine says some not too nice comments and questions as well. Seeing her in a few weeks and am hoping for the best.
@gingermama29 Happy anniversay! Enjoy date night! My last date night was our anniversary in May. Seems so long ago now...
@begging4abump thank you, yes he is my rock for sure!! I just discovered Jane this year and watched through all the other seasons...I just finished a few weeks ago, so luckily I didn’t have to wait long to finish it up. That show is ridiculous, but I love it! Sorry you had an emotional day, but glad YH was there for you too! I found that the side-effects didn’t last long after finishing the pills, so hopefully you’ll feel more like yourself soon!
@begging4abump we have made plans. We're planning to go out to dinner/trivia and possibly catch a movie. I'm with you on the holding my breath when the gifts question comes up. I'd be perfectly happy doing no gifts. Honestly getting a date night it is enough for me. Though the escape room idea does sound fun!
@ottergirl81 same here. May was our last date night. We did a quick dinner out and then saw Hamilton.
