**This is a thread that welcomes all regardless of where they are at
in their TTC journeys. Please be mindful of topics that are discussed
that could be hurtful to those going through tough times. Mention of
children or pregnancies of others should have a TW (trigger warning) and
be in a spoiler if possible, and only be mentioned if it is extremely
pertinent to the conversation. Thanks for keeping this a safe place for
us all to engage!**

CS/Q: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.
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.
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.

Month/Cycle: 15/13
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: lots of things including hopefully IUI this month
R/R: finally, some structure returning to my life! Classes start tomorrow. We were able to see my inlaws yesterday for the first time since Thanksgiving, which was very nice. I'm tired but looking forward to life returning to normal again with school starting.
CS/Q: nothing interesting yetMonth/Cycle: 5/5 AL
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: vitamins, CoQ10, progesterone, OPKs
R/R: I've been lurking this weekend, but between the extra time off work and some travel to see family I haven't been around much. Trying to get psyched up to start OPKs and get back in the swing the end of this week. In other areas of life, I would love to get a piano for our house, but I'd like to just give an old one that someone wants to get rid of a new home rather than buying new. Facebook Marketplace intimidates me though so I keep putting it off.
CS/Q: Nope@abjm0325 Marketplace can totally be overwhelming. I hope you get yourself a good one once you finally dive in!
Month/Cycle: 6/6AL
CD: 15. I know that I O'd but just waiting a few to confirm which day before jumping over to TWW.
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, pnv, abc, all the things
R/R: So I do the payroll for a school district and this week is a pay week. Unfortunately with yesterday's holiday, I had one less day to process. I came in on my holiday to try to get some work done and my boss ended up coming in as well as he had things to work on. He kept coming into my office to interrupt me all day and just generally was obnoxious. At the end of the day I reached out via email to ask if I could get some comp time for coming in, while also noting that I completely understood if that was not possible. He has yet to answer my email and it's been more than 24 hours... I might need to start looking as much as I really do not want to..
