Re: TWW Tuesday 10/26
I edited this post to put space between the disclaimer and month/cycle that I forgot to do before I posted.
Month/Cycle: 5/5AL
CD/DPO: 18
Timing: no
Typical LP length: 10/11 days
Testing: no
R/R: I think I’ve ovulated at this point and if not… well then I’m sticking around here anyways. Mh pissed me off before bed last night and he was still holding a grudge this morning that I was very appropriately upset. He’s annoying. It’s another rainy day and I have no plans which feel great. He’s a mailman and I hope it rains on him all day 😊
CS/Q:@paytonpedro I appreciate your very specific hope for YH's day
It looks like you belong here from your chart 👍
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 21/8

R/R: All geared up for my massive Zoom class today. In five hours I can relax! And it's Great British Bakeoff night! And I got steak for dinner because I had a coupon and I haven't had a steak in for-ev-er. So yeah, really looking forward to my evening
CS/Q: Not today. After our lengthy discussion yesterday I've decided I'm overriding FF and calling CD13 O day. I am very please to have made a decision 😂@Paturkey I hope your class goes well today! Sounds like you've got a great evening planned!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 26/4 day post FET
Timing: FET
Typical LP length: 14 days

R/R: Pretty sure I did my PIO shot a little too low today because it hurt like hell. I need to have DH draw the circles again for me. It's hard to do it to myself, especially trying to do the shot on my left side. I'm just ready for next week to be here so we can find out if this worked.

@shortstack930 ouch! Hopefully you hit the right spot.
@shortstack930 Sorry your shot hurt today. Hopefully DH can help you out with targets. I hope Monday gets here before you know it!
Month/Cycle: meh
CD/DPO: 17/5? FF thinks 3 but I reject that
Timing: good or bad we'll probably never know
Typical LP length: 15-16
Testing: maybe 12dpo
R/R: i've been using a sleep app mostly because i love data and i was kinda curious what i might learn, but it turns out that it just picks up on my dog's snoring all night long and the app thinks it's me. harrumph, i am offended.
CS/Q: FF gave me crosshairs today for cd14 but as @paturkey and i learned yesterday discarding any one of my temps between today and last thursday produces O days that vary from cd11 to cd 14. my money remains on cd12 maybe early cd13.Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.
Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal.
Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP.
May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy.
July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen.
Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized.
From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos!
Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN.
July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.
@Paturkey sounds like an awesome evening to me!
@shortstack930 ahh that sounds really tough. I'm hoping with you that it works.
@optimistgardener oh no
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/6
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: I don't even know anymore? I used to think 14 but now seeing that I O'd earlier than I always thought, maybe 16?? Who knows.
Testing: Probably not.
R/R: I think working from home will always be a rave for me. Looking forward to a nap later, I haven't been sleeping the best. Ended up napping for 2 hours after work yesterday and it was glorious.
CS/Q: I don't even know what's happening. lol chaotic temps, random fertile CM after O. I'm guessing it probably shouldn't look this way.@annanbby working from home sounds great! I love long afternoon naps.

@Paturkey oh steak sounds so good! Enjoy!
@shortstack930 trying to remember where the PIO goes is hard after a couple days when the circles wash away. I always tried to remember it based on where my underwear or pants sat in comparison to the circles. Idk about you but I always worried I was going to hit my pelvic bone or something
@optimistgardener that's hilarious that it picks up your dog's snoring haha
@annanbby rarely have I taken the opportunity to nap at home while WFH. I only have when I've been super tired in the afternoon. Feels awesome to be able to do, that's for sure
Month/Cycle: 12 AL
CD/DPO: 20/3 or 4?
Timing: technically 0, +1 if 3dpo, but those were both right after midnight so it was more like -1, 0
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: this weekend
R/R: 2 years ago today was our fun road trip to Chattanooga and Atlanta for the aquariums. This trip was a little over a month after we had gotten confirmation via blood work that our FET failed. Apparently I'm super into being an open book and am considering making that comment when I share the memory on FB. Guess I want everyone to know our business haha.
CS/Q: idk wtf to think here. There's clearly a sustained shift at this point, but that big temp shift was before my positive opk. I know for sure I didn't miss my surge as my CD15 opk was 0.36 at 10:20 that night with 6am on CD16 being 0.7. Peak at 11:20, dropped to 0.59 4 hours later, but an increase to 0.7 just after midnight on CD17.
