R/R: CD1 is actually a rave! It was a fairly normal cycle for me, the first post-IUD removal. I ovulated later in my cycle than normal which made my luteal phase pretty short, but I'm hoping things will even out a bit this cycle. So all in all not a terrible thing to be on CD1.
@kmalls sorry for CD 1, but also glad that it was a fairly normal cycle for you given IUD removal. Hopefully your LP is a bit longer this cycle.
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: prenatals and temping but otherwise NTNP for a bit.
R/R: Grades are due this week so I am crazy busy at school trying to get those done for all 400+ students of mine. I feel like November is going to fly by. There's so much going on this month and then my concert is the week after Thanksgiving! Send wine 😂.
R/R: I talked about it in the IF thread, but updated count is 16 follies each side. Nurse is worried about OHSS. I just can't anymore. They will give me a date and time for the retrieval later on today. Another fun thing, a stupid woman cut me off in the roundabout on the way to the clinic. She nearly got t-boned. I'm so glad it is a light day at the clinic. I can get my work done and then listen to something silly to make me feel better.
CS/Q: -
@kmalls Sorry for CD1 but your attitude about it is fantastic! It will definitely help in this process. Fx for a longer luteal phase!
@gingermama26 May the winds be ever in your favour. Here you go:
@ksmalls Sorry for CD 1, but glad you had a pretty normal cycle after your IUD removal. It's always nice to get some clarity with your cycle...
@gingermama29 Ugh, what a busy week! Wow, 400+ students is a lot!! Good luck getting all your grades in... sending wine....
@meri-mac I'm sorry, girl. Hopefully that is not the case and 16 follies on each side is great, right?! Try to not stress over this yet until you know for sure. Glad you have a light day at work ahead. Take it easy.

R/R: I'm so tired today. This time change is totally throwing me. It always takes me so long to adjust. I thought it wouldn't be so bad since we were gaining an hour, but I find myself overtired in the evening and having trouble falling asleep. Is it Friday yet?! At least tomorrow I'll be out of the office all day at a conference
CS/Q: Since I know you are all dying to know... my temp today was the lowest yet so FF changed its tune to reflect that I haven't O'd yet... Yay!

I updated in the IF thread about our RU appointment, but the short version is we have more testing coming up for MH, but the RU believes we're most likely IVF candidates. I've got conflicting emotions about that, but at the end of the day I just want a THB, and will do what I need to do to get us there, and MH feels the same way.
We got out of the house early this morning to vote in our municipal election, polls opened at 7am and we were there by 7:05 MH leaves for his office by 7:40 every morning, so I got to sit in my craft room and watch a Hallmark movie and knit for a bit. We're going to try to have a low-stress evening with candles and reading tonight. I can't wait!

@mvt2003 Enjoy the low-stress evening. It sounds amazing!
@ziggymama06 Thanks, hun. I try really hard not to borrow trouble. Can be quite difficult in this process. Enjoy your conference! Sending a much needed energy boost (because I'm slightly addicted to gifs):
@kmalls Sorry for CD1. Im glad that it was a fairly normal cycle after taking out your IUD though!
@gingermama29 GL! Every Time i've thought about how cool it would be to teach, i remember how much take home work there is! Sending wine! lol
@meri-mac Im glad you weren't hit, but that is so frustrating! sorry about your follies! as others have said, try not to worry until you need to. I know that is easier said than done right now though, Sending *hugs*.
@ziggymama06 Same girl, Ive been struggling. I hate this time change! hopefully you O soon though, CD 8 seems super early though! i got my peak at CD10 last cycle and it was really early for me.
@mvt2003 Im sorry that this has all been so hard for you lately. Im glad that you and DH are on the same page though. sending *hugs* do you have a timeline for when you will start the process?
R/R: Just a chill day around the house today. I wasn't feeling well yesterday so i was pretty lazy and didn't unpack from this weekend. So i need to do that today, and get our house back in order, and get a grocery order in! I wish there were more thanksgiving type decorations that I could put up between halloween and christmas. gonna take down my ghosts, and creepy stuff today. All I have besides a wreath, is one lone turkey. lol
@meri-mac Keeping all of my FX for your retrieval!!!!!!!!
@ziggymama06 Agreed that the time change still messes me up!!!!! Hoping we both adjust soon!

Update: ER is Thursday at 11am. We have to be there an hour early for prep. My trigger shot is a half dose to try and avoid OHSS. I also have a suppository to take for 8 days. I am so thrilled that I have no more injections after the trigger. My belly looks like a pin cushion! I really appreciate all the support, ladies. Here's hoping healthy eggs & embryos and for a fresh transfer!
Edit to say: I thought this was the IF thread My brain, ladies, she just isn't working right.

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Metformin, prenatal, Conceive Plus, HIO at least EOD, re-starting OPK’s this cycle, temping/tracking with FF, and progesterone after O.
R/R: It’s been another busy day so far, but at least I’m able to post at lunch...which was better than yesterday! I’m ready for the weekend already...we have a 3-day weekend, and I’m so happy about that!
CS/Q: None.
@kmalls so sorry for CD1, but I’m glad you are able to look at the positive of it being a fairly normal cycle! Hope your LP is longer next cycle!
@gingermama29 sorry work is so crazy right now...I hope that does make the time pass by quickly though! Here ya go:
@meri-mac sorry there is a fear about OHSS...but hopefully the decreased trigger will help! Yay for your ER being scheduled...it’s so close! Sending all the positive vibes your way...hope you get lots of embryos and your fresh transfer!
@ziggymama06 sorry you are so tired today...I hope your day flies by and you can catch up on sleep tonight! Yes weekend...hurry up and get here! Glad FF cooled its jets on O date! Hope it’s soon though!
@mvt2003 glad the appt went well and you and YH are on the same page about doing what it takes! Sending hugs & positive vibes your way! 💜 Your early morning sounds wonderful...hope you have a great evening as well!
@photographerwife hope you are feeling better today! We don’t have much in the way of Fall/Thanksgiving decorations either...we have way more for Christmas! Maybe you can find some cute things soon...we decorate the dining room table and have a wreath...that’s about it for Fall.
@bluetickgal hope your day calms down! We have a ton of Christmas stuff too. But I’ll wait a couple more weeks to break out al that stuff! I love it, but our house is Small and it feels cluttered with it up so long!
Sorry to P&G again today. Sooooo many grades to do! It's really eating into my bump time. 😂
@meri-mac ooof what a morning! I'm keeping everything crossed for you for Thursday!!
@ziggymama06 I think it's the fact that it gets darker so much earlier now that messes with me the most in this time change.
@mvt2003 sounds like a nice evening ahead. Sorry for the conflicting emotions about IVF. I'm glad you are both on the same page though and want to do whatever it takes for your THB. I'm crossing absolutely everything for you.
@photographerwife hope today is a better day. The Thanksgiving decoration struggle is real. I have lots of pumpkin things though so I make those work for the whole fall.
@bluetickgal agreed about being ready for the weekend! Hopefully time is passing quickly for you too.
