R/R: Friday is the first day of my "weekend"! I think I'll spend it preparing for next week, lol. But also maybe take it a little slow today. It's been weirdly warm here for the past couple of weeks (in concert with a fair amount of precipitation, so i'm not complaining) but it looks like we're going to be in for some cooler weather the next few days. I've got my sweaters all lined up and ready.
CS/Q: My temp finally cratered this morning, so it looks like I'm in for a CD1 starting I hope tomorrow, but maybe today.
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.
I think I can post here now....I'm going with that anyway.
@optimistgardener oooo warm cozy sweaters hit different the first few times you wear them!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 18/2
Timing: If O is accurate, I think we had pretty good timing this cycle. I'm a complete pessimist though so I am not getting my hopes up haha.
Typical LP length: Unsure.
Testing: Not for a long while. I think I only have 2 left so I'll probably aim for next Sunday and then WFAF after that
R/R: I got my coffee from Starbucks today with the first blast of Peppermint Mocha of the season! I chugged it like it was beer in a funnel and I was in college and I'm not sorry about it 😂
CS/Q: WTAF is with my temp haha. Any thoughts on why it was so high yesterday and today?

@optimistgardener one of the best parts of cooler weather is breaking out the sweaters. We need to bring ours up from the basement soon.
@jellie603 have you been moving blankets on/off the bed, or changed if your windows were open/shut recently? My temps the last couple weeks have been all over the place between blanket changes, window open/shut, and ceiling fan on/off.

Timing: O-1
Typical LP length: 10-11 days

R/R: Today is a good day. Several events on campus mean I'm eating for free allll day. And it's chilly, but beautifully sunny today, so I'm in a good mood!
CS/Q: nothing exciting happening. Gotta love the BBT swings from sleeping with the comforter.
@fantasyflyte hmm no changes recently! I'm in New England so 'windows closed season' has been here for about 3 weeks now. Changed to flannel sheets 2 weeks ago..... so who knows! BUT I am so happy to see that you're in a great mood today! I know the feeling of catching a a great mood after any sort of funk so soak it up!

@jellie603 I've been itching to get to Starbucks today! I also think it's just a clear temp shift due to O, but hopefully a few more days worth of temps will tell for sure.
@fantasyflyte I love those days were you get all the food for free!

@optimistgardener Yay for sweater weather! Hope you can spend some of your day off relaxing and enjoying the cooler weather.
@jellie603 Peppermint mocha sounds perfect today!
@fantasyflyte Ooh, any good food options?
@tessiesmom26 What's on your TV agenda for tonight?
Month/Cycle: 3/2 AL
CD/DPO: 18/4 (I said 4 yesterday, but I can't count)
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: Maybe in a week
R/R: I think the interview yesterday went well. I should hear back from them sometime next week. I'm still unsure whether I really want the job (I'm mourning the idea of switching career paths a bit), but we'll see if they even make an offer and what it is I suppose. Otherwise, I already fit in my run for the day and hit my step goal, so I'll consider it a good Friday!
CS/Q: Nope
