WAYDTGKU: IVF 2020
R/R: AF showed yesterday, to my eternal delight (eye roll). I'm ready to get through Christmas and New Year's, and on to IVF already. At least my ILs now know we have an IF diagnosis, so maybe this year will be easier?
I'm working today, then off until next Monday! So that will be fun! I also bought myself an Instant Pot yesterday with a Christmas gift certificate, so I'm excited to try my first recipe tonight!
CS/Q: Nope
IVF Cycle #1 February 2020 4 embryos frozen, 1 fresh transfer = CP

R/R: morning ladies! I'm going to be pretty absent this week trying to soak up as much family time as possible. Most of my immediate family is in town for Christmas! My brother and sister spent the weekend at my house and we had a blast. Now we're heading to spend the week at my parent's house this morning and I'm looking forward to it very much.
I'll try to check in here occasionally this week though.
CS/Q: nothing to see
@gingermama29 - Fun! I hope you enjoy all your family time!

R/R: Transfer is set for Friday!! Had to go back Sunday for another check and my lining finally reached 7 point something! DH administered my first PIO injection last night! Wasn't bad at all, although it's pretty sore today. This week is going to be pretty hard, since my family holiday is going to look and feel so different, but I'm going to try to be the positive one and keep everyone's spirits up!
CS/Q: nope
@feather_heather omg yes! Fingers crossed the transfer goes well. Sending you all the PASP vibes for Friday.

R/R: great time this weekend with family opening gifts. My wake up/sunrise alarm clock is the greatest thing ever. I was a little groggy waking up but it was soooo much easier getting out of bed. If you struggle waking up when it's dark outside I HIGHLY recommend one!

@gingermama29 Enjoy all that family time, sounds like a ton of fun!
@feather_heather Good for you for intending to be the light and positivity for the family! I hope you all can enjoy the holidays. And yay for Friday!
@inthewoods23 Glad that the early Christmas went well! That sounds like a fun tradition.
AFM, I’m just happy that AF finally showed & I’m out of that incessantly long cycle limbo! I’m truly hoping these meds haven’t switched my 25/26 day cycle to a 33/34-day cycle. Waiting is hard!
Month/Cycle: 19/IDK
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: FF, BBT, OPKs, checking CM & CP, PNV w/Folate, extra extra Vit D3, Fish Oil/DHA, N-A-C, Calcium, Ubiquinol, DHEA, Baby Aspirin, Ovasitol, Lovenox, Prednisone, Metformin, Metanx, Synthroid, extra Iron injections, daily moderate exercise for uterine blood flow, lots of sunshine, meditation, acupuncture, 7-9 hours sleep. Estradiol & Progesterone injections after ovulation.
R/R: Rant: All the pills are so tiresome! My kitchen counter really does look like a pharmacy, it’s ridiculous. But if they get me a THB... Rave: It actually feels like winter here, which is nice for the holidays.
CS/Q: Nothing to see here, folks!
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, prenatal, Conceive Plus, HIO at least EOD, OPK’s, temping/tracking with FF, and progesterone after O.
R/R: Sorry I‘be been MIA today...had the day off, but it was a day full of baking, candy making, and wrapping some presents. I think we are officially ready for Christmas now though! Had some time to lurk a few minutes here or there, but that was about it. I‘ll probably be pretty spotty with involvement this week, so I hope everyone here has a Merry Christmas (in case I don’t post much before then)!
CS/Q: None...OPK’s are getting darker, but still negative so far!
@mvt2003 yay for IVF in 2020! Hope your Instant Pot dinner turned out well!! And woohoo for being off until next Monday, hope you enjoy your time off!!
@gingermama29 enjoy every bit of your time off with your family!!
@feather_heather yay for transfer on Friday! I hope you can enjoy the holidays, despite the changes/tension! Everything crossed for you on Friday too!!
@inthewoods23 glad you had a good weekend with your family! That’s good you like your new alarm! Hopefully it makes getting up just a little easier!
@keikilove I’m glad AF showed to end your long cycle! I’m sorry for all the meds...I truly hope they get you your THB soon though!!
@mvt2003 ooooh orange chicken sounds delicious! I hope it turned out amazing!
@inthewoods23 oooh I've heard good things about those alarm clocks! Glad you're family gift exchange this weekend was fun!
@keikilove I hope your meds haven't given you a longer cycle. Those are definitely tough. I'm glad it's feeling like winter for you though! I'm numbed we're having a green Christmas here. All of our snow melted yesterday.
@bluetickgal sounds like a very productive day! Glad you're feeling ready for Christmas!
