Re: WTO Monday 11/11
Back over here I go 😒
Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD: 1 - AF arrived full force this morning an hour before I was supposed to go in for betas.
WAYDTGKU: Waiting for the RE to call me back to set up my CD 2 baseline testing and then probably 7.5 of letrozole again with trigger and IUI #3.
R/R: I’ve had time over the weekend to process another failed cycle but I’m still pretty down about it. There were a lot of tears this weekend and even an argument with DH over it all. 😔 it was rough but I’m ready to move on. If only this headache would go away. At least I took off of work today!
CS/Q: I’m seriously contemplating not charting anything this cycle except for my period and when we HIO. That includes not charting Any symptoms I may or may not be having during the TWW. I felt so many different things last week and clearly it meant nothing, so what’s the point??
BFP: 10/27/2011 | EDD: 6/30/12
DS born 6/28/12 via C/S

Me: 36 | DH: 39
Mirena removed 9/13/2018 after 6 years
BFP 11/11/2018 | MC @ 5.5 weeks on Thanksgiving
July 2019 - Diagnosed with Secondary Unexplained IF
August 2019 - 2.5 mg of Letrozole = Never Ovulated so Trigger and IUI were cancelled
9/30/2019 - IUI #1 (5 mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFP but Betas showed CP @ 4 weeks
10/28/2019 - IUI #2 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN
11/25/2019 - IUI #3 (7.5mg of Letrozole, Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN
12/24/2019 - IUI #4 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Crinone after IUI) = BFN
1/24/2020 - IUI #5 (50mg of Clomid + Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN and an Ovarian Cyst
3/2/2020 - Taking a break to reset/NTNP
11/1/2020 - At peace with where things are in life and are no long actively TTC. Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: prenatals and temping but otherwise NTNP for a bit.
R/R: we had a nice visit with the ILs this weekend. DH and I are both off work today so we'll be getting some things done around the house and having a nice quiet day. We're also supposed to get close to a foot of snow today! I'm actually super excited about it though! I love snow❄️
CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 6/7 AL
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, PNV, EPO, HIO
R/R: It was a good weekend but I got into an argument with my mom yesterday and I’ve been off ever since. We included her in our plans yesterday and from the moment we picked her up I knew she was having an off day. Should have just left her home.
CS/Q:
@kpearse99 I am so sad to read this update. I want this to be your cycle so so badly. Hugs to you, girl.
@gingermama29 a Enjoy your nice quiet day off!
Edit: tags
@gingermama29 I like snow when we don’t have to go anywhere so your day sounds cozy and wonderful!
@tyrion_ I’m sorry about the fight with your mom. I hope you start feeling better about it soon.
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking CM. Taking a break from BBT
R/R: I have my SHG today. We haven’t been allowed to have sex yet so taking my temp has also not crossed my mind. Oops. I have to be good about OPKs because I am supposed to get blood work the day after a positive so hopefully I’ll be covered that way. We have to still abstain for 24 hours after and then I have a work trip Wednesday-Friday so our timing is going to be what it is anyway.
CS/Q:
@gingermama29 I like the snow, just not ice!! I hate icy sidewalks and running paths
@tyrion_ Hugs, friend. Sometimes it's just not a good day. Sending you all the strength.
@bows22 Thinking of you for your SHG today. Let us know how it goes!!
Month/Cycle: 15/15

WAYDTGKU: IF Testing
R/R: We had a really nice weekend! MH got me a new Apple Watch because my old one wasn't fixable, which was a really nice surprise! I tested it out on a run Sunday and it was great. He got me a newer model (series 4) because he researched and the 4 has better fall protection - if I fall wearing it and don't move for a while, the sensor will automatically call emergency services with my location! He's always worried about me running alone.
We also cleaned the house this weekend, including steam mopping the floors with our new Bissell, it was actually very satisfying and seeing the pad afterwards made me promise myself we'll steam mop more often
We also caught up on the Hallmark movies. Is anyone else tracking them on the app? We played Hallmark Movie Bingo while we watched, which made it even more fun!
CS/Q: Nope

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: Happy Monday!! It’s extra happy for us because we have the day off! We had a great weekend...DH “caught” (that’s for you @ziggymama06 ) a deer on Saturday and then we were able to get lots of stuff done around the house yesterday! Today is mostly for relaxing, which is so nice!
CS/Q: None. Will probably start OPK’s tomorrow...although that may be too early since I usually don’t ovulate until CD16 or 17.
@kpearse99 oh friend, I’m so sorry!! I was hoping the spotting over the weekend was maybe implantation! You have every right to feel the way you do...so sorry you and YH argued about it though!! Sending so many hugs and all the positive vibes for this next cycle!! 💜
@gingermama29 glad you had a good visit with the IL’s and you have today off!! Enjoy the snow...or at least staying in the warm house and just looking at the snow!
@tyrion_ glad you had a good weekend, but sorry for the argument with your mom! It’s never fun being at odds with a loved one! Hope things get better soon!
@bows22 fingers crossed all goes well with the SHG and you get good results today!! Hope timing ends up working out even with having to abstain and with travel!
@mvt2003 glad you had a good weekend, and yay for the new watch! That was very sweet of YH to look for that feature! Do you really like the Bissel steam mop? Was it easy to use? We have luxury vinyl “hardwood” floors, and I hate using the Swiffer wet pads...I feel like they streak and run out of wetness way too quickly!

@bluetickgal Hahahaha... Yay!! Congratulations to YH for catching a deer! Now you can enjoy all the venison, yumm!! Enjoy your day off!
@mvt2003 This steam mop sounds awesome... can you use it on hardwood floors?? TIA
@kpearse99 I'm sorry about CD1, girl! I feel ya on the symptoms too... last cycle my symptoms were unlike any I've had before and it didn't mean anything. Sending ice cream your way...

@bows22 I hope everything goes well with your SHG today! and that you still are able to get in good timing.
@mvt2003 Thats cool! i really like my apple watch, but i have the series 3! I bet youll really like the new one! I really need a new steam mop, that sounds so satisfying. I havent started any hallmark movies yet, but i did notice that netflix started putting out some christmas ones, and theyre very similar to the hallmark style.
@bluetickgal Glad YH "caught" a deer this weekend! 😂Dh didnt have such luck, but thats okay, he'll gave time! I always start pretty early and have Od late somtimes, im glad i do, because i could have missed it a couple of times!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK,
R/R: We had a good weekend. Im a little annoyed that we didnt get to HIO last night, because I had an almost positive opk, and then this morning had a temp rise. It was pretty dark, but I dont know if id call it positive like it is today. Hopefully it was just a fluke temp rise. 😓
CS/Q: edited to fix chart
@photographerwife oh I hope that was just a bad temp. Have you ever ovulated on CD9?
Thanks for the well wishes guys. The SHG didn’t go amazing. I have an endometrial polyp that will needs to be removed and I think there may have been some other weird things but she said we would go over “what everything means” at my
follow up. That’s in 2 weeks. So we wait. I’m feeling pretty down but I’m going to have my guilty pleasure (McDonalds) for lunch and just try to think through/process everything.
and no not on 9 before. But I have ovulated on 10-12 several times so not too far of a long shot. Im hoping it was just a bad temp too. I guess I’ll see tomorrow morning.
@kpearse99 sending so many hugs and love 😟 sometimes it seems like a cruel joke that PMS symptoms and PG symptoms are so similar.
@bows22 ouch!! At least there are some answers for you,but I'm sorry you have to deal with that! Let us know how the removal goes.

R/R: I'm enjoying my first day off of the school year! Ironically, my husband is the veteran (and works for a veteran owned company) but he has to work today. I told him I'd be honoring him by cleaning the house hahaha!
CS/Q: no questions but I'm DETERMINED to spot my O day this month!!
@bows22 sorry for the news you got at the SHG. The waiting game is the worst. Hugs.
@mvt2003 that's an awesome feature on your watch. I'm glad you can both have peace of mind with it.
@bluetickgal glad YH got a deer. That's exciting!
@photographerwife FX it was just a fluke temp rise.
@mama_mea sorry YH has to work today but hopefully you're enjoying your day off!
@tyrion_ I'm sorry things are off with your mom. Arguments like that are the worst... where the fight is done but you just feel unsettled. I hope it all resolves itself soon!
@bows22 Girl, you better keep up with those OPK's so you can get that blood work in!! Going anywhere fun for your work trip? How do they do the removal? Is it something you get put under for?
@mvt2003 what an awesome surprise from YH!!! How sweet of him
@bluetickgal I'm happy you had a great weekend! I'm asking everyone this about their progesterone, lol, but how much do you take? Once or twice a day? Do they do a one time a day thing?
@photographerwife I hope you get to HIO today/tonight then!!
@mama_mea I hope you're enjoying your day off! That sucks that YH has to work though! Please thank him from all of us for his services

@Photographerwife hopefully it was a fluke rise and you’ll still have one more shot to BD. At least you got -1 if it was O.
@bows22 I’m praying it’s an easy fix and it isn’t anything serious. I’m so sorry the results weren’t what you wanted to hear and that they’ve been so vague.
@mama_mea Good luck spotting O! And thank you to your husband for his service!
@bluetickgal Hope you guys had a nice day off!
