Re: Check In :)

  • Where are you at in your journey? You guys - C2/CD7.
    Any testing coming up (if applicable)? I'll start OPKs (the cheapies) CD10/11.
    Anything good or bad happening? Finally on my 2nd TTC cycle. While AF sucked a big one, I have never been so happy to get AF. DH was happy, too, because that means we can move forward (this cycle at least).

    Still nothing from HR for the future new job. I know I was told it could take a while, but it's difficult to stay focused where I currently am.
    QOTW: Is there a news story in your neck of the woods that was overplayed and talked about too much? This question is brought to you by the fact that the Pope in in DC this week. This is the first Pope that I've been remotely interested in (I'm not Catholic and have no inclination to be), but it's all every news station in the area has talked about. Give me car chases, shootings, human interest stories, anything! Something to change it up from the constant talk about the Pope and what he's doing this very second. Not to mention they've closed half of the city. Good thing I still work in the suburbs.

  • Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 2, CD17 - Round 2
    Any testing coming up (if applicable)? Probably test next weekend for shits and giggles.  I usually start testing once a week, around CD25.  Since I have no clue where my cycle is going, and don't usually ovulate on my own.
    Anything good or bad happening?  TTC wise, I had EWCM around CD12-13.  So we DTD and we'll see if there are any results from it.
    Not temping is making this hard, but I don't want to become obsessive yet and I always do when temping. 
    QOTW: Is there a news story in your neck of the woods that was overplayed and talked about too much? Nick Shiely murder trials.  It was apparent that he murdered the women, yet they drug the sentencing on for years.

  • Where are you at in your journey?  I think i'm 10 or maybe 11 dpo. Not entirely sure. I am 11 dpiui though
    Any testing coming up (if applicable)? Just an HPT
    Anything good or bad happening? nothing out of the ordinary
    QOTW: Is there a news story in your neck of the woods that was overplayed and talked about too much? I have been avoiding the news lately because it's just depressing.. so I really don't know.

  • @brij2006 - I tested today and got a bfn :-/

    I was actually just going to come here and see if I could get someone to chart stalk me and see what they think. I am hoping maaaaybe the big dip yesterday could've possibly been an implantation dip but to be honest, I think that's just wishful thinking. If so though, I have one progesterone tab left for tonight and I'm wondering if I should call my doc and ask for a few more, just in case I am a late implanter..

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • @rockabye It very well could be an implantation dip.  Your temp from today looks good.

    It doesn't hurt anything to ask for more progesterone.

  • It's been a while, but I feel like checking in this week... :) 

    Where are you at in your journey? 
    No idea what CD I am. NNT/3T. Have about 1 year until we move forward with donor egg IVF. We will be switching clinics, and I've been in touch with the doc already (he consults for a clinic I work in). Looks like the timeline for donor egg IVF is about 3-6 months, so first appointment will probably be in March. 
    Any testing coming up (if applicable)?
    Nope.
    Anything good or bad happening?
    Just busy with work, and I'll be starting another PT job next month (IF is expensive!!!). H and I are going to start training this coming week for a 1/2 marathon in honor of our little boy. We're raising money for a little local organization that has supported us throughout the healing process. Feels good to be working towards something positive. 
    QOTW: Is there a news story in your neck of the woods that was overplayed and talked about too much?

    We've had crazy people shooting and/or throwing projectiles at cars on the busiest freeway during rush hour here. It's been all over the news, and while they may have caught the person shooting at people, there are still concerns that the people throwing projectiles are still out there. Thankfully, I don't think there has been an incident in a couple of weeks.

  • Hey everyone. A bit of a quick post and run, but we had our lining check and all things are a go for our frozen transfer next Tuesday. 

    A bit disappointed because my embryos (frozen day 2) aren't that great (two 4-cell grade 3, one 3-cell grade 4)

    Good luck on C2 @lfk2013!

    FX for you @brij2006!

    Anything good or bad happening? Provera worked for me, so I guess that's good?! I'm going to start Metformin 500mg daily to see if that will help my body function.


    QOTW: Is there a news story in your neck of the woods that was overplayed and talked about too much? Nothing I know of!
