Re: TWW Tuesday 12/7
Month/Cycle: 4/3 AL
CD/DPO: 25/11
Timing: doesn't matter
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: BFN (I know, I know. I lied and tested a day early.)
R/R: I'm not going to say anything about the disappointment of this morning other than to say that I am thankful it was a stark white, clear BFN. Definitely no need to question what I was seeing. Mentally preparing to move on to #4 in a couple days. In positive news, my co-worker is coming in late and bringing me a latte so that's a fun morning treat.
CS/Q: Nope
Month/Cycle: 5/5AL
CD/DPO: 23/11
Timing: O-2
Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: I've been MIA because work was busy and we had a bit of a rough/busy weekend. Finally got payroll submitted for this week so it should be smooth moving the rest of the week and then hopefully I can get some Christmas stuff done because I am still super far behind. Just sort of chugging along.
CS/Q: Still a giant mess of a cycle..

@abjm0325 I'm sorry about the BFN, but I'm glad for you that it was a definitively negative with none of the playing with your emotions ambiguity.
Month/Cycle: 14/13

Typical LP length: 10-11 days
Testing: n/a
R/R: in the final stretch of the semester, waffling strongly between "yes I know what I'm doing, this will be fine" and "DEAR GOD I'M SO LOST AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH". Hopefully I'll trend more toward the former after speaking with my professor this afternoon.
Also starting to get a bit nervous in the countdown to CD1 since it'll be my first medicated cycle and we're doing an IUI. I really, really hope it's successful because I have a feeling the letdown if it's not is going to be extra bad.
CS/Q: n/a
I am so sorry for your BFNs. It is a blessing that it was a solid negative, but that doesn't lessen the disappointment, I know.
@fantasyflyte
Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully the end of the semester gets smoother for you and you can enjoy some well deserved time off.
@fantasyflyte Fingers crossed that the medicated cycle is the jumpstart your body needs! I hear you on the danger of being too optimistic though.
@katrielle Thanks, always nice to be able to share the ups and downs with this community.
CD/DPO: 20 ish? And not sure.
Timing: EOD to ED
Typical LP length: Unsure. My periods are strange and my ON/GYN isn’t sure when I’m ovulating. Started charting to see if that gives answers.
Testing: plan to test 12/21. I think that’s what this is asking.
R/R: this is my first time posting, so I hope I answered right. I read the new members guidelines beforehand . I find all of this a little overwhelming. I spot a few days before I have a period, which is only a couple days then spot for another few days, so my NP isn’t sure when exactly I’m ovulating. I had my hormones checked during the initial spotting a couple months ago, only abnormality was slightly elevated estrogen and lower end on the anti-mullerian hormone. Pelvic US was pretty normal. I’m throwing my hands in the air and giving it my best go without stressing myself out for six months.
CS/Q: not sure what this means
CD/DPO: 17/ Guessing 2 or 3
Timing: Random. 3/5 days of estimated window
Typical LP length: As you can tell, I haven’t done much more than use Ovia and watch CM to estimate fertile window, so I’m not sure. Will temp/test next cycle.
Testing: If I can make it, Fri the 17th. I have terrible willpower and sometimes test up to 5 days before AF 🤦♀️ Would LOVE to surprise my DH w/ a special gift since our fam Christmas is that evening. Also, is it bad that I have a grand plan every month for how I would tell DH? Ha
R/R: @acj1020 Im with you, I’m not 100% on what this is. I’m nervous I’m going to mess something up and look like a doofus. Ha! So I will just leave this for now and go back to the info post.
Hope you can give that surprise to your DH. I also already have a pretty detailed plan for how to tell my husband and I can't wait to see his reaction.
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.
