IF Testing & Treatment w/o 12/19

This is a place for those of us who have already started TTC, but have started infertility testing and/or treatments. You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on infertility. TTC can be a long journey naturally, then add in the difficulties associated with infertility, and it becomes a whole new ballgame. The road to infertility can be lonely, frustrating, and complicated, so let's make this a place where we can vent, ask questions, and support one another. Feel free to resurrect this thread at any point in the week if you have something to say. Treat this as an ongoing conversation.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): had acupuncture friday, everyone around me has colds and she said my pulses felt like i was working on fighting something. so far i feel fine, tired - but that's the norm.
How are things going?: they are going, glad that it seems like FW and some time off are going to match up so we can not feel so rushed/tired hopefully. i'm still waiting on a few christmas items to come in, and wrap up the last two boxes of goodies for my younger sisters.
Any questions?: natm
GTKY: What is the best gift you have ever received? hmmm i haven't received it just yet... but i am so so excited for Adele in Vegas in March. i've been following along all the other weekends and the venue is just so small and squeeeeeeeeeee.edit bc spelling
Diagnosis (if you've been): retired ovaries, LPD
Status (TI/ICI/IUI/IVF/FET/benched): TI while we wait for IVF with DE
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Nothing again. Just boring ol' TI

Any questions?:

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): shots of luprolide acetate, followed in a couple of weeks by, assuming suppression check goes well, estradiol valerate.
How are things going?: i think i need to actually start cutting back on the booze and being proactive about eating all the healthy stuff, sigh. this is no simple matter when i am surrounded in cookies and delicious beer.
Any questions?: nope
GTKY: What is the best gift you have ever received? jeez that's a tough question.ok. it's not really a "gift" in the classic sense, but the news, 4 years ago, that my mom's cancer was responding so dramatically to chemotherapy,that the surgery that had formerly been off the table was now once again on the table? that was a gift from the universe that i am pretty sure cannot be surpassed. and, although i am anxious as usual about her next upcoming CT scan, I am also wildly grateful for the gift we've been given of the current treatment she's on, which has kept her cancer stable now for more than 2 and a half years.
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.
