Re: WTO week of 12.26
Month/Cycle: 7
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, monitoring via doctor, CM, BD
R/R: I haven’t O’ed as yet, ahhhh. I thought I would have O’ed today or tomorrow but it doesn’t even look close. I had egg white CM on Friday so thought O was coming but then it kind of went away. OPKs are still fairly light. I am meant to have post-O blood work on Friday but since O is later now than we thought, I wonder if I should delay it? But I have a call scheduled with the doctor on the following Monday. Anyways I emailed them so hopefully they let me know. I’m hoping now that I’ll O on Wednesday or Thursday 🤞🏽🤞🏽
CS/Q: nope.

R/R: I had gotten more hopeful about sleep apnea treatment helping our fertility issues after reading another study about it, but then I found out someone else we know was diagnosed with sleep apnea even more severe than H and he and his wife had absolutely no problem with fertility. So that brought my hopes down a bit for our chances.
CS/Q: None
@wanderlustsoul Fingers crossed O is coming soon. So nice you’re being monitored and can check in with the doc soon.
@britters314 Sorry you’re feeling down about your chances. I really hope the treatment is successful.
Month/Cycle:18 since we started trying, with time off due to loss/benching/getting on the same page about TTC, 4th cycle back at it again
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: TCM herbs, BD.
R/R: Between COVID and the holidays I’m going a month without acupuncture treatment, and I think I’ll skip the OPK this month too. We’re just going to enjoy our staycation time together and BD when we feel like it this cycle.
CS/Q: Does anyone else go straight from AF to fertile fluid? I have been ovulating earlier in my cycle the last few months, maybe that’s why? Or maybe it’s the whole almost 40 thing?

Month/Cycle: Uh complicated... We did IVF in June transfer failed, cancelled transfer in July. H had surgery in December and the doctors think we should be able to try naturally. So 1/1
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Probably OPKs if I remember.
R/R: I have horrific vertigo right now, I think from a cold. I'm insanely anxious about being able to try again.
CS/Q: not at the moment

@wanderlustsoul Hoping you get your O and baby dust. ✨✨
@mambo5-2 Sorry to hear about the transfer fail. Wishing you the best as you start trying again.
Month/Cycle: Month 12, Cycle 8
CD: Cycle Day 11
WAYDTGKU: Had my doctor appt today. She basically said the irregular periods were normal post-chemical, so I’ll have to wait it out. But, she said we should start doing tests. She wants my husband to do a semen analysis (because why put me on meds if the sperm isn’t working) and then have me do Cycle Day 3 bloodwork, so I guess I’m just waiting.
R/R: My doctor also told me to stop doing OPK because I have several follicles and apparently that makes your hormones go all over the place, so they’re not accurate. I’m just super anxious now and feel like I’m just waiting around to get my period so I can go get bloodwork, but my last 2 have been 62 and 53 days long….
CS/Q: Any suggestions on how to be patient?

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.

R/R: work has been non stop crazy this week as a healthcare worker. Truly post-holiday madness. I ended up work crazy hours which made timing all off so I’m sure this month is a wash. Hoping it all settles down after the holidays
CS/Q: nothing. I didn’t chart this month.
