Re: TWW Wednesday 8.26
CD/DPO: 26/4
Timing: not great
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: not sure if I will yet
R/R: Pretty quiet day ahead today. I spent some time in my classroom setting it up yesterday though it kinda felt like a waste since I'll be traveling on a cart to teach this year instead of having kids in my room. I probably won't try to get back into my classroom until we have our conference days next week. In the meantime, I need to buckle down and really figure out my lesson planning. It's so overwhelming having to completely reconfigure my curriculum.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/4
Timing: -4, -2, O
Typical LP length: 9-10 days, taking B6 and C to try and lengthen it
Testing: probably too early. 🤣
R/R: I FINALLY got my class list! Now, hopefully it doesn’t change too much between now and the first day. I have another 3 hour zoom meeting this afternoon for a math training. Not sure what that’s for or about. On a tiny positive note, I’ve been drinking more water. 🤷🏻♀️🤣
CS/Q: feeling good so far about this cycle. Obviously it’s still super early but my temps are far more promising than last cycle.
Me: 26 DH: 27
TTC #1 | June '18-August '18 | DD | Born April 21, 2019 | Due May 10, 2019
TTC#2 | June '20-February '21 | DS | Due October 27, 2021
CD/DPO: 26/idk
Timing: meh
Typical LP length: 9-11 days
Testing: Probably not since I didn't think I ovulated but AF hasn't shown up and my cycle is normally 24-25 days and it's messing with my head.
R/R: First, I wish AF would just hurry up and get here. I would have expected her yesterday but so far nothing although that's not completely abnormal; I do get an occasional 26-27 day cycle. Second, still no effing call from my doctor's office to go over my results. WTF?! My labs were done Friday, the results were in Saturday. I can understand not getting a call Monday but come on! Especially since it's kind of time sensitive if I'm starting meds this coming cycle (so maybe a good thing my cycle is a little longer than normal this time). I couldn't take it anymore yesterday so I called around 10am and left a message. No return call. They're not open yet today but I've already sent a message via the online chart and I'm planning on calling shortly after they open. I just need my results confirmed (I'm 95% sure I know what they mean but I'm no doctor) and to know which route we're going and to get the prescription sent over to my pharmacy if that's what we're doing. UGH. Sorry. I'm just so annoyed. I really like my doctor but this is so frustrating.

@chindimples04 Yay for a class list. That's good. Hope it doesn't change too much on you. I'm glad your feeling good about this cycle and that your Temps are up. FX for you this month.
@gingermama29 GL with your curriculum. I hope you get it all figured out. Your day sounds like mine. Just a quiet day ahead lol Hopefully it doesn't drag for us.
@gusgus14 I'm sorry AF hasn't shown up. I hate that and it Definitely does mess with your head. Hopefully it comes soon. Also, I'm sorry your doctor still hasn't called with your results. Wtf? they should have called by now. That's super frustrating. I've been there before. I would be calling them as soon as they open too. I don't blame you. I hope you get your answer soon. I really like my doctor too but he frustrates the he'll out me as well.
@gingermama29 good luck with all the lesson planning. And tag from yesterday: it's so great that you have such a great principal / and can talk to her so openly. I have some teacher friends and have heard some principal horror-stories.
@chindimples04 I'm so sorry about your continuous struggles w/ the upcoming school year. Good luck with the Math zoom session (3 hours!!! 🙀). Your temps are definitely 💯! FX for this cycle!
@gusgus14 Wow - WTF is up with your clinic?! That is so unprofessional. Stay on top of them, and don't even feel guilty! That's similar to the kind of shenanigans that's making me switch to a different OB.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 36/16?
Timing: doesn't matter
Typical LP length: doesn't matter as I was taking progesterone 3-11DPO
Testing: tested at 10, 12, and 14 DPO; all BFNs so I'm done now.
R/R: I'm joining @gusgus14 in summoning AF. WHY AM I STILL HERE?! AF... WHERE ART THOU? As you can see, I'm a bit frustrated. I knew that progesterone could eff with my period, but heard that I _should_ get my period 2-3 days after stopping progesterone. But it can take up to 7 days and it seems that I fall into this category. AF is literally the only thing standing between me and our first IUI cycle. Argh! If it weren't for the negative tests, and the falling temps...
In other news, we have a Zoom call this morning to sign our IUI consent forms and then it's just waiting for AF to show up. Oh, and I had a really good appointment with my osteopath yesterday. Supposedly my uterus was out of alignment because of other organs being out of alignment/seized up so she rightened it for me. Osteopathy is in my bucket of "thing that can't hurt; but could definitely help with TTC".
CS/Q: including just to show you that my temps are doing what they're supposed to be doing...

@gingermama29 oh that’s going to be weird to travel to each room. I guess it makes sense though. The plus side is that your classroom is going to stay so clean haha
@chindimples04 yay for getting your class list finally! A 3 hour zoom math training sounds fun 🙃
@gusgus14 that’s SO frustrating. My RE’s office would pull stuff like that and that’s one of the reasons we are going to switch. I hope they have called by now!
@mindyb2019 yay for crosshairs! Enjoy the beautiful weather!
@acleverusername come on AF! Also glad you got your uterus back in the right place😂
Month/Cycle: 21/23
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: -3,-2,-1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: BFN on a Wondfo today
R/R: I’m feeling pretty crappy today (even more than I normally do in the TWW). I also was in a terrible mood yesterday so that was giving me hope and why I decided to test, I needed a reality check haha. My FRERs are supposed to be delivered today so I’ll take one tomorrow. Otherwise I actually went to bed early-ish last night and it was nice to not wake up exhausted (which is also feeding my SS, like I’m not feeling crappy because I’m tired so I must be KU). Going to a clients office today to wrap up another audit and then will have another one down (still too many to go)
CS/Q:
@gingermama29 ugh, good luck with lesson planning! That must be so hard, I can only imagine.
@chindimples04 a three hour Zoom meeting!? Geez, I would be pulling out my hair... hopefully it's actually valuable information at least, and not just fluff!
@gusgus14 that is incredibly frustrating about your doctor's office and their lack of responsiveness! I feel like OBGYN offices should be especially sensitive to the fact that so much of what do is time sensitive and it's extra important to make sure they are getting back to people ASAP.
@mindyb2019 yay for sunny, nice days! It's finally not miserably hot (just regular hot, haha) where I live and it really does make a difference in my mood.
@acleverusername sorry you're in the unlucky group that takes longer to get AF after progesterone, that must be so annoying! I feel like little stuff like that gets me disproportionately down because it's just like "of course I'm going to be the one who is outside of the usual for this," even when it's not a huge deal. Sending good vibes for starting IUI!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 24/2
Timing: Good as it gets
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: Not for a while
R/R: So, I've not been posting lately because I've pretty much been in a constant state of freaking out/feeling bad about TTC for the past 2-3 weeks. Long story (kind of) short: my doctor wouldn't take me seriously when I said that I have a 34 day cycle and therefore we needed to adjust when I got my "CD21" blood work. She insisted on still doing CD21 blood work but also agreed to "let" me get another round done on CD29. After both rounds of blood work, she messaged me that she thinks I'm not ovulating at all. She said she wanted to do another round of blood work on my next CD21 to make sure this wasn't a fluke- and despite me again reminding the office that I ovulate around CD20, she insisted on testing as close to CD21 as possible. So I went in this past Monday for that additional round of blood work, and we had a follow-up appointment right after to discuss the earlier results. My doctor was immediately like "I think we need to refer you to an RE right away because you're having extremely irregular, anovulatory cycles" and I asked to go over the test results from the first two rounds of blood work so I could understand what exactly she was seeing. Basically as soon as I reminded her that the first round of blood work was not timed appropriately to my individual cycle, she completely changed her tune and was like "Oh, so you just ovulate later than normal." Yeah no kidding, that's what I've been telling you/your office constantly! She clearly had not even really looked at the CD29 blood work until that moment, sitting there with me. So, while I'm very happy that apparently I AM actually ovulating, I'm very irritated that my doctor basically caused me to freak out for no reason for several weeks.
@the_most_happy Gosh, I am so sorry about your doctor's ... I don't want to say "incompetence"... but it's certainly at least inattention. I would have been going out of my mind and definitely looking for a new OB. Do you have that option? What are your next steps then? Hugs to you for having gone through this experience. And you hit the nail on the head with "of course I'm going to be the one who is outside of the usual for this" sentiment. It seems like it happens to me more often than not. But that's probably bias.

@acleverusername thanks. Ya spotting for a month sucks. Not fun. Sorry you had to go through that with your IUD. ya clearly parts of my body are working properly and ill take that as a win. I'm happy for that. I would rather be spotting then not ovulating. Kinda hard to get KU when you don't O 😆 I can deal with the spotting even though its damn annoying.
@the_most_happy ya its finally not miserably hot here too where I live. Just nice and sunny and comfortable lol wow your story of your doctor would have really pissed me off. I hate it when they don't listen to you. It's like ummm.. hello!! I already tried to tell you that. Sorry you had to go through that but I'm really glad that are actually ovulating so yay to that!
@mindyb2019 - Yay for a quiet, sunny day!
@acleverusername - Uggggh so annoying! COME ON PERIODS, WHERE ARE YOU?!
@bows22 - I'm sorry you're feeling crappy but yay for getting to bed early-ish.
@the_most_happy - that's so frustrating!
We went to an RE previously and kind of completed the cycle there. Testing, removal of what they thought was the issue, off on our merry way. So now we would be going to another for a second opinion/treatment as “unexplained”. When it was “time” for us to go back, covid had just started to explode in our area and we just weren’t ready. We decided we would reevaulate in October once I’m past my work deadline. We have a 2.5 year old that we conceived on our own so we feel comfortable that trying on our own is still a decent shot and that hopefully my age/his less than ideal morphology is what is making it take a little longer.
@acleverusername ugh...stupid AF. She shows up when you don’t want her and won’t show up when you do.
Month/Cycle: 2/2

CS/Q: None right now!
*Edited because my post had crazy spacing for some reason. Trying to condense so it’s not a mile long. Haha
YOU GUYS. I just logged into the online portal and had a message from my doctor's office asking me to call to discuss my lab results. She said she tried to reach me but my voicemail was unavailable. I have been glued to my phone for the last 2.5 days and haven't gotten a single call from them so not sure what happened there but what I'm more annoyed/upset about is that I have no way to call this woman. You absolutely cannot get through to an actual person when you call the main number and she didn't give me a direct line or an extension. So now I've had to message her back asking how to reach her and I'm just very (im)patiently waiting for her to read it and respond.
@acleverusername thanks girl, yeah I'm definitely considering looking for a new OBGYN after this... I'm just kind of terrified of having to go through all the frustration of trying to get someone else to understand my cycle, so part of me wants to stay now that we've at least gotten this ironed out. Gonna think on it some more.
@sienna221 aww fun, where are you road-tripping?
@gusgus14 omg, I'm going crazy for you! This is absurd, hope you get her on the phone ASAP.
@gusgus14 I am so glad you FINALLY have answers! On to bigger and better things next cycle (or a unicorn 😉).
@sienna221 have a BLAST on your road trip! Where are you going?
@the_most_happy that is incredibly frustrating! I’m sorry you had to deal with that. But I’m glad things are “normal” for you.
@acleverusername 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 AF appears soon so you to can move on to bigger and better things!
@mindyb2019 Yayy for cross hairs!
