    R/R: still sick ugh, but I’m on the mend! Yesterday I fulfilled my promise to myself of doing absolutely nothing. But I did do some laundry in between. Lol. Now today, I have to do the dishes (dishwasher) and clean up the kitchen table that’s been my husbands dump zone the past 3-4 days 😓. Kinda hoping he comes home with Chinese today so I don’t have to cook lol.

    CS/Q: nope.

    Typical LP length: 12ish

    Testing: Probably, but we'll pretend like I might hold out. 

    R/R: Our kitchen smells like shrimp. We haven't cooked shrimp in there since the middle of last week, which now makes me think there is a stowaway shrimp hiding somewhere. This is not the treasure hunt I was hoping for. 

    CS/Q: Nope

    History
    I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
    Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
    5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
    Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
    Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
    May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
    MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
    In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
    Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
    April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
    July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
    July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
    Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
    RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
    Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
    Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
    Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
    May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
    July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal.
    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.
  • @paytonpedro sorry you're also not feeling well, and I hope you feel better soon!

    @abjm0325 oh no, that's the worst kind of treasure hunt! I hope it's either just a randomly lingering smell, or that you find it asap.

    @optimistgardener post-bath snuggles are always the softest!

    R/R: so tired today. Woke up with a cold yesterday so had a lazy day, back to classes today. Probably going to spend time this evening writing up notes for the RE appointment tomorrow so I don't forget to ask anything.

    CS/Q: pretty sure O was indeed Sunday, which makes me happy, yay metformin!



  • @optimistgardener Love all the raves! Mmm, I second the second cup of coffee plan. Also, good call on checking under the stove. I'll provide a (probably unwanted) update on the shrimp saga when I get home.
    @fantasyflyte Hope you get feeling better soon, but yay for a more consistent O!
  • @abjm0325 lol oh no!!! I hope you find that stinky little guy soon! 

    @optimistgardener I love your positivity here today! I honestly needed it! ❤️ Yay for extra extra yummy coffee!! It’s always the best when it’s tweaked just right! I hope you were able to recreate it for your second cup! Clean pup pics get double points 😉

    @fantasyflyte I also hope you’re feeling better soon! Sending all the best vibes for your RE appt tomorrow!!
