If/When do you plan to test:
Re: TTC Check In
Where are you in your cycle? (waiting to O, 2WW, etc): I am on CD 13, waiting to O, hoping I didn't miss it!
Did you do anything different this cycle?: I started using OPK's, but I'm still not temping...
Any phantom symptoms?: No
If/When do you plan to test: Three days after a late period...if I get that farI guess you could call it month three of trying... tho trying is a strong word, i think not avoiding it is a better descriptor.
Where are you in your cycle? (waiting to O, 2WW, etc): AF is here!
Did you do anything different this cycle?: Nope
Any phantom symptoms?: Nope
If/When do you plan to test: Prob early as I am inpatient and am enjoying the beer this summer way too much! lol

My frozen embryo transfer is Friday, and I'll know in a week and a half if it worked. I feel pretty hopeful about this cycle, since the only thing that didn't go great with the IVF is that my uterine lining was on the thin side, making it harder for the embryos to implant. This time I was given estrogen patches which seem to be working to thicken my lining.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Where are you in your cycle? (waiting to O, 2WW, etc): I guess waiting to O...but who really knows (still frustrated after my appt last week!)
Did you do anything different this cycle?: I started temping to see if I really am ovulating or not.
Any phantom symptoms?: Nope
If/When do you plan to test: I'd probably start testing around 10-11 DPO, but I don't see that happening anytime in the near future.

I'll be thinking of you & sending major baby dust & "sticky" thoughts your way. Good luck!
I am sending sticky baby thoughts to everyone, but I do have to give a little extra baby dust to Lori, cause well... I do!
I am still in the TTA club, but my 2 coworker friends will not shut up about how "it's time." I'm only 28, people, leave me alone!
@Lori: I'll be in pretzel stance all week for you! Oh and I'll say a few extra prayers too!
@Lindsay: Did you schedule an appointment with a new OB or are you still waiting?

Honestly? I'm bitter about it. I think we are gonna stop "trying" next month...if I ever get a period. I am on day 49 with no AF in sight.
Sigh.
I completely understand your frustrations and I know how much it sucks, but please try not to give up. I got so angry sometimes and felt like such a failure because my body wouldn't even do something it was made to do and I hated it. I had 3 long cycles (like 60+ days) with no AF in sight and I was in tears. My doctor probably thought I was a crazy person because I called all the time and saw her every cycle, she even said than when I finally came back pregnant she said she would do a dance for me!
If you ever want to talk about it or just need to vent your feelings to someone who has been there, feel free to PM me anytime.
I did call to set up a consultation with the new practice I want to switch to....however, they don't have any appts availabe until the end of September. So I went ahead and made the appt anyways. I figure it'll give my body some more time to get itself together. But I do not plan on taking any more progesterone pills unless I'm given very good reason to take them!

I'm sorry Barb, I totally understand where you are coming from! Being in the same situation myself, I feel like my body is failing me, is broken and I'm never going to be pregnant, when I want to be so very badly! If you get to day 60 with no AF, I would call your Dr and talk it over with them. They can do testing and stuff to see if you're ovulating or if you just need some extra help. I know it's hard, but please try not to get discouraged! You can always PM me if you need someone to talk to!

I feel the same way and you put it great. It pisses me off even more that all my blood work came back totally clean and my ultrasound is normal (no cysts)..there is NO answer, just so many questions.
I'm asking around for a good OB/gyn today to see if I can make an appointment soon. I do not want to go through this every month.
I think I'm waiting to O at the moment...my online cycle calendar says I ovulated earlier this week but my body has been telling me that I'm ovulating a week later - so we're just planning that for two weeks I'm ovulating and getting down to business...
Because I got my hopes up after a 5 day late period several months ago...I'm waiting until I start vomiting all over the place from morning sickness before I test...I really hate the idea of being disappointed again...
