WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking CM, BBT most likely
R/R: Hi everyone! I know there are a lot of new names in these threads since I took a break from the dailies. I went through some IF testing back in November and they discovered that my uterine lining was very thick. I had to have a hysteroscopy to have a biopsy done and have some of my lining removed but all went well. I kind of feel like this is a fresh start so I’m pretty excited but trying not to get my hopes up.

WAYDTGKU: IVF - Taking this cycle to do additional testing
R/R: Really enjoyed having a 3 day weekend! I did a deep house cleaning, we finished demoing and emptying out the laundry room, and I met up with two friends I haven't seen in 15 years! We were on a competitive dance team when we were younger, but once we all stopped dancing we grew apart (all from different towns), so it was really nice to catch up and see where everyone's lives have taken them!

WAYDTGKU: IVF
R/R: I did my phone tutorial with my clinic last night, and since I've started BCP they were able to estimate out my timeline for me! I feel like so much of this has been "hurry up and wait" and when you think that I had my first "I think something is wrong" appointment with my OB in September, it just cements that!
CS/Q: Nope
@bows22 Literally squealed when I saw you started the dailies this morning!!!
@feather_heather Your weekend sounds so productive!!!! Can't wait to see laundry room before and afters!

WAYDTGKU: prenatals and temping but otherwise NTNP for a bit.
R/R: My sister and I had a blast seeing my best friend in Pittsburgh this weekend! We mostly just chilled at the house, snugged kitties, played games, and watched movies. It was really nice to get a weekend away though and lots of sister time on our road trip.
CS/Q: I don't know wtf is up with this cycle. I thought for sure I'd O'd but my chart is a hot mess so who even knows?
@feather_heather Wow! Super productive weekend, that is awesome that you got to meet up with old friends! I reunited with two of my high school best friends last year and it was really great. We basically picked up right where we left off and I've been in touch with them a ton since.
@mvt2003 are you a patriots fan? I am (and I am from Vermont), but I live in West TN now and everyone gives me so much crap if I say it out loud
@gingermama29 Your weekend sounds like it was amazing. Snuggling kitties and watching movies is my idea of a good time!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO EOD, tracking CM
R/R: This is both rant and rave I guess, I am in undergrad and this semester starts today. I am excited to finally be taking some of my science courses (I am a biology major) but I have also heard that my professor is really difficult and is hard to understand/learn from. So I am nervous for class tonight, but fingers crossed it won't be as bad as I am making it out to be in my head!
CS/Q: Nope
@mvt2003 that gif is exactly how I feel hahaha! I’m glad that I’m going to be able to stalk you this cycle as a distraction from my own impatience!
@gingermama29 I’m glad you had a fun time but I’ve been so curious as to what you guys ended up doing. What a disappointment 😂. Just kidding, I’m sure the rainy/windy weather didn’t help much.
@bserena I hope you are pleasantly surprised by your class!
@feather_heather it's always fun meeting up with old friends! Glad you had a good weekend
@mvt2003 I can't remember, are you doing a fresh transfer or no?
@gingermama29 it looks like your cycle is trying. Hopefully the drop this morning means O
@bserena GL this semester! I have a friend in his final semester and normal he would have class today but it's just a lab (engineering major) and well that got cancelled because obviously there have been no lectures yet lol
Month/Cycle: 2.5 years

WAYDTGKU: gluten and dairy free diet, PNV, vitamin D & E, L-Arginine, probiotic, FET, attempting to add yoga for good measure
R/R: basically going to load up on all the wheat and dairy in the house to get rid of it this week 😆 super bummed I can't drink my hot chocolate! I should probably be doing tea anyway. Going to attempt to find a dairy and gluten free item for lunch at the grocery store today. Wish me luck!
Also on the major plus side, the nurse asked me what meds I needed considering I've been through a FET and biopsy cycle. I'm overloaded with needles so she just has items like the antibiotic right now. Also I have 3 vials of Lupron so I need to go through the math to see if I have enough to last me through this cycle so I don't need to buy it OOP again. THAT would be wonderful!
CS/Q: nah, it'll just be a bunch of colorful squares.

WAYDTGKU: 50mg of Clomid, Triger, IUI #5, progesterone after IUI and PNV
R/R: This weekend was wonderfully relaxing yet still a little productive! Yesterday was perfect, as we spend most of the day snuggling on the couch, but I still managed to clean and do laundry too!
I decided to stop taking the extra vitamin D (there is already a decent amount of vitamin D in my PNV but I was supplementing with more). I read that if you take too much it won't get absorbed and then it turns into bloat and water weight gain. I've gained 5 lbs in one week I think from a combination of the extra vitamin D and switching to clomid this cycle. I'm hoping this helps reduce it a bit!

@bserena Haha yes, I'm in Pats Nation, but I'm slightly in the minority here in that I genuinely prefer them to lose early if they're not going to win the Superbowl
@inthewoods23 Yep, the aim is to do a fresh since we're not doing PGS. It's looking like retrieval will be about 3 weeks from today, with transfer 5 days later. Here's hoping you have enough meds to last through this cycle!!!

@bserena good luck with your new semester. Hopefully your professor is better than you've been told. Also the kitten was soooooo snuggly. Picture just because:
@bows22 so we intended to check out the speakeasy under the William Penn hotel but didn't think to check when it was open until Sunday and of course it's closed on Sundays and Mondays. We did end up going to Cellar on Penn though and did a flight of wine. We wanted to check out other things but most were closing at that point on Sunday. We'll have to next time, I guess.
@inthewoods23 all the strength and kudos to you for going gluten and dairy free. I don't know that I could do that!
@kpearse99 glad you had such a nice relaxing weekend! It sounds great!
@ttcbabyodo yay FW! Get it!!
@gingermama29 Yay for a fun road trip and a good relaxing visit! Sorry your cycle is wonky right now.
@inthewoods23 might be with trying hot chocolate made with almond milk or coconut milk. I’ve never tried it but I feel like it might be with a shot if it held you feel less deprived.

@bows22 yay, I’m so happy to have you back in the dailies!!! ☺️ Sorry to hear you weren’t feeling good yesterday, hope you are much better today!! I have everything crossed for you this cycle...let’s all storm October!!
@feather_heather your weekend sounds great...productive mixed in with some fun!! You’ll have to share a before/after pic when your laundry room is complete!
@mvt2003 yay for getting an estimated timeline for this cycle...now you can use your cool IVF stickers on your calendar! You are so close, friend...I’m so excited for you!!
@gingermama29 your weekend sounds amazing!! That kitten is adorable...it has very similar markings to my Sophie with the gray stripes but then spotted belly! Hopefully today’s temp was just a fluke and it goes back up tomorrow!
@bserena good luck on a new semester...hopefully the teacher won’t be as bad as expected and you’ll enjoy the class and do well!
@inthewoods23 enjoy that last bit of wheat...that’s good you are already making some changes though! Hope you don’t have to buy more Lupron OOP!
@kpearse99 so glad you had such a nice weekend!! Hopefully cutting out the extra vitamin D will help with the bloat!
@ttcbabyodo yay for FW! That’s awesome you are all caught up at work...but hopefully the slow period doesn’t make the time drag on too slowly!
@krystrist2014 I’m glad you had a good weekend celebrating YH’s birthday! Sorry for the sleep interruptions, that can definitely make it difficult to get good consistent temps!

@ttcbabyodo enjoy your slow time! It’s so nice to have that mental break before things get crazy.
@gingermama29 oh that’s a bummer about the speakeasy. DH went once before a hockey game but we always forget to go. My office used to be near there. I’ve never been to Cellar, did you like it? Thank you for providing my nosey self with details 😂
@krystrist2014 I love the “feeding MH folate” haha! Even when my sleep sucks I am usually able to see some kind of shift even if I have to guess at the exact day so hopefully you will too
@bluetickgal yes! I’m all in for October! So tell your uterus, no long cycle shenanigans!

@krystrist2014 MH and I take many of the same supplements (Omega3, CoQ10, Vit D, Vit C, probiotic, magnesium) but then his containers have FertilAid and his anti-depressants, and mine have methylfolate. I found out he was too lazy to fill his own containers last week so he was stealing from mine because they looked the same. I told him it was fine, other than the fact that he was stealing my expensive special methylated folate supplement and he was all worried that he poisoned himself. *eyeroll* First of all, if it was poison, does he really think I'd be taking it? Second, I pointed out that men need folate too. He thinks it's just for growing babies. Sigh.

@bluetickgal gonna need to see your Sophie! She sounds like a cutie!
@bows22 haha happy to help 😂. I really liked Cellar! We did a flight of wine for $13 and they give you 2oz in each glass so it's a good deal. The food was really delicious too! We had a great conversation with the chef which added to the great experience we had there. The Fiona peach champagne is super delicious if you do make your way over there! I will definitely visit there again!
@bluetickgal 😂😂 thank you for pointing out Louie in the background because I think I would have missed him and his expression is amazing
