Re: TWW TWOSday 2/22

  • This thread was a ghost town yesterday so we'll see if I get any company...

    Month/Cycle: 6/7

    CD/DPO: 16/3

    Timing: -2, -1, +1

    Typical LP length: 11-12

    Testing: My SO is leaving for work end of next week so I'll probably test before he leaves.

    R/R: I was hoping that we'd manage every day this FW bc SO is going to be gone for the next two FWs  :| Hoping we got in enough but time will tell. I've spent the day trying to work out life logistics on my last day of the strike. I can't wait to be back at work tomorrow, honestly. Striking is necessary but nobody likes it.

    CS/Q: Nope.

  • Loading the player...
  • I go here! I just haven't posting since our FW was a total bust. 

    CD/DPO: CD33 and 5DPO

    Timing: None -_-

    Typical LP length: 11-12 days

    Testing: I wont, don't want to waste the FRER

    R/R: I just want some nicer weather to get outside more, but it's more cold and possible snow coming for Chicago. Boo.

    CS/Q: NATM

  • @bbrahmbhatt I'm in Rochester NY and whatever you get I get a day later pretty much. Can't wait for the below freezing temps again and more snow on Friday. 

    CD/DPO:  18 / 7

    Timing: -4

    Typical LP length:  13

    Testing: not happening I know that the timing was horrible. 

    R/R: I am so dang tired from the weekend. Last weekend of winter camp for me which I love it but it's exhausting. Now on to Florida in a week because Rochester weather is just crap.

  • @caseys02 @mrsmtothek at least we're all in the crap weather boat together I guess. Hopefully a thaw is coming for all of us soon!!

  • @caseys02 So fun!! I'm currently in Plattsburgh, so still a ways away. NY is a much bigger state than people give it credit for :D

  • @caseys02 I didn’t realize we were practically neighbors! I also live in WNY! 
  • @caseys02 Lets hope so lol. One year we failed to put back our Christmas reindeer lawn decorations and they were literally stuck in the snow and ice until April when everything thawed out. So bad  :D

    I just wanted to quote these in case the poster deletes them. They posted something off the wall on the May BMB too. Wtf is happening? 
  • *lurking*

    What in the actual f? Realistically I'm guessing it's some kind of bot. But even bots have to be programmed by someone. 

    After going back and mostly reading, is this the same account that went weirdly randomly racist a couple weeks ago? I'm so confused! That whole first post reads like a back and forth argument all plopped in one megaparagraph.

    *lurking, obviously*
    what the what what what. I'm with @fantasyflyte that this is a bot (because the language is just too weird, for starters) but also just whyyyy. like, looking at the account's recent "contributions" across a handful of different boards in the very recent past, there's no rhyme or reason here except a generalized "i want you all to feel bad about yourselves" vibe. like, why does anyone care enough about TB to bother with any of this.
    ETA this is not the same account name as our racist peggy from a few weeks ago. i actually think she was a real person, albeit a troll.
    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.

    holy sh*******

    I was like “how is TWW at 20 comments?” And I just 100% was NOT expecting that. 
  • I figured out what the bot reminded me of - it read like those stories generated by an AI.
  • @bows22 WTF?!?! Was that posted here?! I feel like I missed something crazy.  

    @gingermama29 Oh nice!! I've been here my whole life in the middle of Buf & Roc. I used to want to leave but find it nicer as I get older.
