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.

    Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 21/5

    Timing: -2, -1, +1. Mad that we missed O day but I was completely exhausted - like an exhaustion I haven't felt in years haha

    Typical LP length: I have no idea

    Testing: Maybe on Saturday. 

    R/R: It is going to be almost 60 and sunny here today and tomorrow! I asked for tomorrow off so I can finish winterizing some stuff. Without writing a book explaining our new house set up, we added stairs to the basement to get to the main level (it was an apartment at one point). We want this to be the main entrance during the winter so we can leave boots, coats, leashes etc. down there. Which means I need to clear the space and lug stuff from the basement to  the main level, up to the second floor, then up to the attic. That is my plan for tomorrow plus finishing up cleaning the landscaping.

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 21/6or7

    Timing: either -1 and O or -2 and -1

    Typical LP Length: 13/14

    Testing: Maybe Saturday morning

    R/R: rave-after a week of lurking I'm excited to join you all and actually start posting. rant- i ran out of OPKs last weekend so I don't actually know which day I ovulated because I wasn't temping this month.  

    @jellie603 Good luck with the winterizing and enjoy the warmer temps these next couple days.  A second winter time entrance to keep snowy stuff in the basement sounds wonderful!

    @jellie603 I am a little bit jealous that you have a place to leave all that stuff without having to drag it all through the house or have that chaos in your main living space. This will be my first winter in my new house and I have no plan for all the snow stuff once the weather fully turns. 


    Month/Cycle: 8/8

    CD/DPO: 29/14

    Timing: -2, O

    Typical LP length: 15ish days

    Testing: I've been testing for days, all BFN. Just waiting for AF now but still feeling none of the signs she's coming (of course). 

    R/R: I'm coming down with a cold, along with the rest of my house. So I'm extra crabby and grumpy this morning. Going to do my very very best to do absolutely nothing today. Rest, maybe read a book, shake off the mood and hopefully the sickness.

    @jellie603 Ooh, I hope you get to enjoy the nice weather!

    Month/Cycle: 3/2

    CD/DPO: 21/7

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: 12ish

    Testing: Probably Friday

    R/R: I'm heading out of town Friday, so I'll probably test that morning to mentally prepare myself and keep myself from taking any tests with me. I'm two weeks away from the 5K I'm running and I'm realizing that I still have a ways to go with training if I want to be able to do the whole thing without any walking. Eeep. Better get out and run today!

    CS/Q: Nope

    Oops, took too long responding and missed people!

    @kopp5988 Looks like your timing was pretty good regardless of which day was O!
    @yoursmineours1220 Ugh, that longer LP is so hard with the BFNs. Hope you can relax today.

    @jellie603 sounds like a great plan, and glad you have nice weather!

    @kopp5988 welcome! I hope your stay here is short and sweet!

    @yoursmineours1220 ugh, sorry your body is trolling you. I hope you feel better soon!

    @abjm0325 go you for training and doing well!


    Month/Cycle: 13/12

    CD/DPO: 28/8

    Timing: O-1

    Typical LP length: 10-11 days

    Testing: wfaf

    R/R: got bloodwork drawn for the fertility clinic today, so another step in the right direction! Husband and I cooked a nice dinner last night and made breakfast this morning, which was nice, we hadn't done that in a while. And it's very nice out today, too.

    CS/Q: just kind of in the holding pattern

    @jellie603  if I remember correctly we don’t live that close to each other but the weather patterns must be similar. Such a nice change from the weather we have been having! Good luck getting your house project done!

    @kopp5988 I’ve had that happen too, since I buy so many OPKs at once I don’t realize when I’m running low.  Glad to see you have good timing regardless!

    @yoursmineours1220 i hope AF shows soon so you can move on to the next cycle!

    @abjm0325 Running is the worst!! Sorry I should probably try to be motivating you 😂. Going anywhere fun on Friday?

    @fantasyflyte your chart looks good! Yay for getting your bloodwork done. 

    Month/Cycle: 35/38

    CD/DPO: 18/4

    Timing: EOD + IUI on O day 

    Typical LP length: progesterone

    Testing: No desire so we will see 

    R/R: Well it’s Monday. I’m not ready for another week of work! I worked from home all last week pretty much to “get caught up” after vacation but I wouldn’t call myself caught up so still working on that haha. We had a fun weekend though and I got an organization project done that I wanted to. It was small but it felt good to get something “done” since I’m not succeeding at that at work

    @fantasyflyte Yay for the next step and for some delicious food!
    @bows22 Haha, good thing I did my run before I read your unmotivating response! ;) We're going to visit my parents and will hopefully see some other relatives we haven't seen since pre-pandemic, so I'm excited.

    @jellie603 We're slated for those temps later this week into next and I am so pumped! I wanted real fall weather for a bit, not to jump from super hot to freezing cold overnight! Hope you get everything done that you need to!
    @kopp5988 Welcome! 
    @yoursmineours1220 I hope that some rest today will help you kick whatever it is and that it goes away soon!
    @abjm0325 Does your 5k have a fun theme? I've only ever run one and it was because it was Christmas themed lol. 
    @fantasyflyte Cooking a good meal is such a good feeling! After all the storm madness and us not being home, we finally were able to cook a good meal and it always tastes that much better!
    @bows22 Trying to catch up after vacation is the absolute worst! That will be my life in 2 weeks, but I am trying to not think about it...

    Month/Cycle: 4/4AL

    CD/DPO: 22/8

    Timing: O-4, O "good"

    Typical LP length: 13/14

    Testing: 

    R/R: One short work week down, one to go! We have Thursday off this week so I am taking that day to pack, get my nails done, and clean a bit around my house before I leave next week. I am SO READY to get going and spend a few days in my happy place! I especially love Disney around Christmas time because it just seems that much more magical!

    @tessiesmom26 I’m so jealous that your trip is just starting soon! If you have any questions about how things are right now feel free to PM me. I became slightly obsessed in my planning haha

    @tessiesmom26 Disney sounds so fun! I really want to take a trip there again soon. Hope you have the best time.

    @bows22 lol yup that’s exactly what happened. It was a mixed box of OPKs and HGCs and some of the HGCs slide to the OPK side so I thought I had more. Nice job on getting your organization project done and hopefully you can get caught up with work soon!

    @abjm0325 nice job getting your run in and good luck on the training for your 5k.

    @yoursmineours1220 i hope your cold is short lived and you start to feel better soon
