Re: WTO Friday 1/21
Month/Cycle: 5/5 AL
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: vitamins, CoQ10, progesterone, OPKs
R/R: This bonkers week continues. Remind me again why we are in-person teaching (with NO mask mandate) when the positivity rate is over 30%?? The majority of my colleagues are out with positive tests or are in quarantine. In less stressful news, it is Friday and I am looking forward to a low-key weekend. Hoping the snow will melt so I can get in a run outside by Sunday.
CS/Q: NopeMonth/Cycle: 5/6
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, vitamins ::goes to take vitamin::
R/R: I'm finished work for the week so that's great. I was pleasantly surprised that lots of my students actually did something over their break. Who knew? My revelation for the day is that sometimes you should listen to music you haven't listened to in a couple decades. It'll refresh your soul. I've been listening to the Grateful Dead today and I keep thinking, "That's a great song." then "I love that one, too." It's like getting a hug from a friend I haven't seen in years.
CS/Q: No news. Expecting O in two-four days.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.
@optimistgardener Thanks for the solidarity! I know education is important and needs to continue, but shew. Feels like we could be taking precautions to protect our community at least. Me and my KN95 mask will just be hunkered down in my office as much as possible.
@abjm0325 oof, that sounds super stressful. I hope you're able to steer clear of catching it yourself.
@Paturkey there really is something special about hearing music you haven't in a long time, the nostalgia is real.
Month/Cycle: 15-13
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: letrozole and IUI maybe
R/R: Insurance hasn't approved the preauth yet, so I think I'm going to have to cancel my ultrasound appointment and just monitor with OPKs and hope the preauth comes through in time for the actual IUI. Ugh. Also my migraine hasn't gone away completely and I'm just grumpy.
@abjm0325 here I am hoping for more snow so I can go skiing 😂
@paturkey love your ::action::. I do the same after posting, ::goes to eat pumpkin/flax blend::
@fantasyflyte I'm pretty sure dealing with insurance is one of Dante's circles of torture in hell.
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD: 17 (only upside of o day being 21+ is getting to hang here in wto with every. single. one. of you ttgp ladies eventually)
WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, coq10, seed cycling, opk, dtd, cm/p/f
R/R: I put headspace on Netflix yesterday to take me out of my estrogen fueled ragey mood. 10/10 recommend.
CS/Q: no one needs to see all those arrows and dotted temp lines and weeks of neg opk, but I do have a q: did you get an IF/RE specialist referral from your PCP or your OBGYN?@sejica Haha, if I thought I would be capable of skiing without major injury I might vote for that too!

@sejica I called the OB first, to get things rolling and they will provide the referral should one be needed. I think it has to go through them because they took my IUD out, so they have record that it's been a year based on that and also have all related medical things there as well. As Optimist said, your insurance might do things differently, just wanted to give another perspective.
