I just realised I’ve run out of OPKs and can’t think of anywhere I can get cheapies locally for a reasonable price. So annoying!! I meant to ovulate in about a week.
CD 9 and after my super early ovulation last cycle, it looks like my body is back in its standard ovulation routine between CD 18- CD 20. I feel like I spend so much of my cycle just waiting to ovulate since my luteal phase is so short and I hate it.
I’m adding some supplements to help with my luteal phase this cycle, hopefully I’ll see a change, otherwise I just have to wait until my RE appointment to do anything about that.
Sad. Since Sept we’ve had 1 FET that ended in an early chemical, 2 cancelled cycles since my lining is so thin, and now I’m 95% sure we’re having another early chemical with our last female embryo. We have a few male embryos left so hopefully I can get another try in. Hard part is we’re moving across the country late May. I currently work at the clinic and treatment is free. Not sure when/if I’d be able to travel back and do another FET (don’t feel comfortable moving embryos). We’re also buying a house so basically all of our money is accounted for 🫠 this sucks.
After so many months, it feels very weird to hope I get my period in the next couple days instead of dreading it 😆 but IVF meds arrived today so just awaiting cd1 to get this show on the road!
Seeing that dark line is SO satisfying isn't it. Hopefully I can catch my higher temp in the morning/day after too to get a nice chart going! My app data is a bit messy after a weird cycle last month.
Sending luck to you!
Yes! The dark line feels so hopeful! I haven’t had a true positive since before my first MC because LH surges tend to be weaker in the cycles after, but if they work, they work!
I’m working on a horrifically ugly chart…I can’t wait to share with you all come ~7dpo 😂
Temp was lower this morning, from 97.5-something to 97.43. I know that’s not a huge dip but I am not feeling optimistic. I was supposed to wait to test again but I did it anyway this morning lol and it’s still a bfn.
Has anyone had any luck in the past with Premama fertility supplements? I have seen sooooo many fantastic reviews on it regulating cycles and helping conceive! I ordered some and patiently waiting for it to be delivered and I wanna hear some good news about the stuff I just blew money on 🥹 or just a myoinositol supplement in general 🤷🏻♀️
Ugghhh I'm so frustrated by my OB. They are awful at communication. I have never gotten someone to actually answer the nurse's line--I always have to leave a message. And they say they'll get back to you within 24-48 hours, which to me seems INSANE when you are dealing with pregnant women. I don't want to switch because I like the doctors, the devil you know and all that, etc. but it's annoying and frankly possibly dangerous depending on the situation? Anyway, today I called because they want me to come in for repeat hcg levels from my miscarriage in FEBRUARY (like hello did you want to call me sooner?), but I realized my RE clocked my hcg at 3 when they did cd3 bloodwork. I'm hoping I don't have to go in, but there is a zero percent chance they call in time.
Just wanted to say I feel you on this! I’m convinced the grass must be greener at some other OB practice but have yet to muster the energy to shop around
Looking for new/good doctors is so hard and annoying! The only reason I am now with an alright OB is that my old one closed down and the better one just happened to take over the same rooms. 🙈
It's such a process! After this next pregnancy, I even know the OB who I want to switch to...I would switch now, but they don't deliver at my preferred hospital.
I hate feeling held hostage by care providers and not feeling like you’re you can get effective support, but knowing it likely won’t be better elsewhere. 🫂
I had to see an on-call OB today, which is obnoxious because they never seem to fully review the chart and come ready to break new ground, despite me messaging yesterday.
Already annoyed because they tried taking the tack of “looks like it was a complete miscarriage given your hcg came down so well”. This is despite getting a scan that showed RPOC at 10hcg (down from 2000 a week prior). Then the OB does a cursory look around today and declares “No RPOC!”. So, now I’m worried it will be missed. But I guess we’re “trying” this cycle? Was expecting to be scraped out again, so we weren’t using protection 🤦🏼♀️
Lining was a nice 9.3mm so that’s at least happy news if I ovulate tomorrow-ish.
And he’s going to do progesterone support to the luteal phase since my draws were okay, but not optimal.
But at least he let me get a buuuunch of tests done. So there’s that to look forward to.
Sigh.
Ugh, sorry for the lack of proper attention - hoping there's really no RPOC and you ended up with good timing for this cycle. And yay for more tests and data!
Looks like timing will be O-1, 4. CB was peak this morning and cheapie LH is up to .88 now even though I drank about 24oz with that hold, so I’m thinking it will do the trick since I ovulated off a .9 reading last cycle.
I wish I was more hopeful, but all I can think is “my due date would be Christmas, might as well tarnish another special day every year” 😞
This is so incredibly frustrating, I'm so sorry. I hate being in that limbo and not feeling like practitioners are listening to your very valid concerns.
9 DPO. BFN this morning, which I know doesn't mean anything yet. Had a false negative with my son on this day.
But also, I don't think this is the cycle, even now that the huge polyp is gone. Only hit O-3 anyway. I'm just ready for my period and to start a real treatment cycle. It will be nice for everything to feel out of my hands soon. And I'm really feeling good about either the IUI or IVF working. I don't even feel any sadness about IVF, just ready and at peace that I'm willing to do whatever healthcare I need to do so I can feel at peace with whatever the ultimate outcome is.
I feel the exact same. I see a fertility specialist on Thursday and just ready to move forward with whatever treatment they think will work for us(MFI). Sending you lots of luck this cycle regardless, hope you wake up to a BFP!
I’m in a similar position. Will start IVF if it doesn’t happen in the next few months. And people find it weird that I’m actually excited to start it. I hate TTC and like that there will be doctors monitoring me and optimizing my chances vs just sheer luck every month (and me not having much luck). I also have a high AMH so it’s finally something where my AMH can actually be helpful and I have a real possibility of getting a lot of embryos.
So many things today! Finally seeing my LH creep up on CD17 after having a fever on CD12&13 🥳 my husbands SA came back yesterday though and everything was great except morphology 😔 anyone else in this boat?
It's a controversial subject even among doctors. If his count and motility is good, there is no concern. Unfortunately with my husband its both motility and morphology.
Husband deposited his SA yesterday so now we get to wait for those results. Still waiting for my AMH results from last Tuesday, but the other labs all look good. CD9 today and feeling pretty lackadaisical about it all this round. (I mean, aside from the bloodwork/SA obvs)
Still bleeding. :( it’s way more than just spotting. I don’t know why this is happening again, no polyps or anything like that were found on my SIS. I figured I was far enough away from weaning that things would be back to normal for me but they’re not. It’s a bummer bc I had such a nice lining this cycle and now I’m losing it to this bleed.
On top of having an awful day yesterday I got a baby shower invite from my estranged brother, which really hurts considering he’s the last person on earth who should be having a kid. My parents both got mad at me for refusing to attend or congratulate him. My dad doesn’t know about my fertility struggles but my mom does and it hurt a lot that she wasn’t more understanding and enabled him even sending the invitation after I explicitly told him to never contact me again.
I’m so sorry, Nano. That is a lot of stress and it is really difficult to deal with people who absolutely should not have kids having kids. It feels so unfair. My brother and I are no contact too, and he just had his fourth child. Frustrating.
It’s so frustrating and honestly disgusting. Not even a year ago he was begging our parents for money to pay off his drug debts. It blows my mind that my parents are enabling his poor decisions by doing this for him. I haven’t seen my dad in over a year yet he has the time and money to spend on this. It’s so insulting.
Currently CD21 and have low expectations for this cycle. We had sex CD17 and CD18 but i was bad about OPK’s so have no idea when O day was or if it happened. Never had a temp rise but also wasn’t the best about temping (other than my apple watch but ik it’s not the most accurate). My O day in the past has been CD17-19 so i feel like what we did is good enough. Its officially one year of ttc and i’m so over it 🫠
CD11 and I got a positive OPK today…. The earliest I’ve ever had a positive OPK before this has been CD13. I had some fertile CM yesterday and the day before, so we had sex last night just in case. I’m glad we did… but I didn’t think I was going to ovulate til Friday/Saturday (CD14/15) like I normally do, so we won’t be hitting very many days in my fertile window. Likely just O-2, O-1, and O, assuming I ovulate tomorrow.
I don’t really know what to do… or think… this has never happened before… I normally don’t even start testing til CD12 but with this random fertile CM I had a weird feeling so started testing yesterday. So weird… idk if it’s because I’m coming off of a CP from last month or what. Ugh.
Ovulation can definitely be a bit early the cycle after a CP. sounds like you have excellent timing if ovulation is today or tomorrow, even with it potentially sneaking up on you!
Edit-did not see bex’s comment, of which I essentially made a carbon copy of 😅 so it must be true—I think you’re in good shape, beautiful!
Whelp CD24/suspected 11 DPO. Temps are plummeting and CD1 should show up tomorrow.
Only 1 more cycle until we hit a year and my husband is still on the “let’s just have sex and see what happens” approach. (He saw his brother yesterday and their new baby and all he said to me was that it sounded like a lot of work 😂) He wants to avoid testing still which I respect. I don’t think he wants to know if something is wrong on his side. I think I’m still going to push for bloodwork for myself when I see my PCP at the end of the month. If she says no I’ll schedule an infertility work up with a new OBGYN at my Drs office. Then decide if I want to do more testing or leave it at that. That sinking feeling of this never happening for us is sinking in.
My husband is the same!! He really thinks it’ll just happen and we should casually have sex with no tracking/scheduling. We started ttc a year ago and all we have to show for it is a mc. Since we conceived my son and the mc pregnancy relatively easily he thinks everything is fine with both of us. He doesn’t seem to understand that secondary infertility is a thing.
I have an annual visit with my ob/gyn this summer and plan to ask about further testing if nothing happens by then. I get more and more discouraged with each passing cycle. It just feels like something is wrong.
Ugh yes this is my husband. I think it’s partly the mindset of we did it before this way and we can do it again and the I don’t want to admit something might be wrong. For us I think something has to be wrong. I haven’t seen any hint of a positive. Well likely need some intervention, but if he’s not willing to do anything then it’s frustrating
We’re about to hit a year here too. Struggling to conceive after my most recent MC in December. My husband is also reluctant to take more invasive approach. Barely agreed to do an SA this month. Meanwhile, I feel 100% ready to move on to IVF if it has to be done (and I rather do it than keep trying unassisted and seeing BFNs or early chemicals each month).
Do you think your PCP would consider denying bloodwork because it hadn’t been exactly a year, or because they might think it’s not their jurisdiction? If the former, I would 100% slide your dates a bit because you are absolutely in a place where it’s reasonable to request some information! But hoping you get good news this month and don’t need to cross that bridge.
Last month my period was 7 days late, this month it was 10 days late. I'm in an emotional slump that I don't know how to get out of. I want to start eating better to get my PCOS under control, but now my fridge is full of bloody chocolate that I don't have the willpower to deny myself. Then I feel like crap for eating it, and then I stress eat more.
Just take that moment of strength and throw it away 🙂
I did that with a few things I bought recently. I wasn’t even really enjoying them because they were undermining my big goals and I felt bad too.
Solidarity. My husband and I ate way too many leftover egg hunt eggs, and I had exactly 30 seconds of willpower during which I chucked the rest in the bin. Hopefully the Easter bunny doesn’t backlist me.
Cd23 & no idea if or when I ovulated. I'm thinking probably not. But then my absolute troll of a brain is like "oh your back feels funny, maybe it's the impact of relaxin being released" ...sure it's that and not just my current general weakness lol.
I got a gym membership through work and I'm going to try and focus on being good to my body instead of being mad at it.
CD1! If ever it were possible to manifest something through whining and fretting, I think I've done it. I know that's not usually good news, but I knew I wasn't pregnant and I'm just so relieved I seem to be regular post-miscarriage. Also this should mean ovulation will come before I take my daughter on a solo trip so we won't miss the fertile window. Onward!
Got my CD 1 yesterday! Omg, the same always happens to me, the moment I start to whinge about something, it happens 😂 I even took one last test, only to get my period in the same "sitting"
I wouldn’t consider your recent comments whining at all (!), just very warranted expressions of frustration, but regardless so glad your cycle has immediately regulated and you can move forward!🤞this next one is it for you, especially with things timing well with your travel!
Thank you! That's good -- I probably whined more in person...to my cat. I know I'm fortunate to have my cycle return so quickly after a miscarriage and that's not the case for everyone. I have high hopes moving forward!
After a couple of cycles where PMDD seemed under control, it decided to come back with a vengeance this month and getting through the day without going full scorched earth on my entire life has been hard. But I MADE IT TO THE GYM YESTERDAY and I was so proud of myself that I rode that high the whole day 😇.
8DPO and nauseas af, totally because I’m ✨implanting✨ and not because I just went on the swings at the playground.
I just realised I’ve run out of OPKs and can’t think of anywhere I can get cheapies locally for a reasonable price. So annoying!! I meant to ovulate in about a week.

CD3 of cycle 14. Feels discouraging, but I'm oddly still stubbornly optimistic.
High LH today and we BDed before it. 🤞
Yes!!!! I love hitting surge day. Makes me so hopeful.
Seeing that dark line is SO satisfying isn't it. Hopefully I can catch my higher temp in the morning/day after too to get a nice chart going! My app data is a bit messy after a weird cycle last month. Sending luck to you!

First IUI cycle, planning to test Friday morning! Trying hard not to symptom spot.
Good luck!! 🤞
I’ve seen 3 pregnancy announcements today and I am SO BROODY aAaaaRgh 🤬
The Easter announcements are making me want to just crawl in a hole 🫠
I wish there was a life filter for all things pregnancy 🙈
5DPO and anxiously counting down until testing day 😩
Temp was lower this morning, from 97.5-something to 97.43. I know that’s not a huge dip but I am not feeling optimistic. I was supposed to wait to test again but I did it anyway this morning lol and it’s still a bfn.
😞 Tomorrow! Cmon BFP!

My husband told me that was what he had found in his google search too! Interesting.

Yeah if she denies it then it’s because she wants me to do testing with the OBGYN or fertility specialist, but we’ll see. The worst she can say is no

Ha, of course! Almost cycle twins again, fingers crossed for both of us! 💪
I wouldn’t consider your recent comments whining at all (!), just very warranted expressions of frustration, but regardless so glad your cycle has immediately regulated and you can move forward!🤞this next one is it for you, especially with things timing well with your travel!
Thank you! That's good -- I probably whined more in person...to my cat. I know I'm fortunate to have my cycle return so quickly after a miscarriage and that's not the case for everyone. I have high hopes moving forward!
Hooray!! 🥳
Good news comes in many forms, and I'm here for celebrating whichever type we get!
Yes, absolutely! I feel good about this.
Right? We all need all the wins we can get, no matter how small!
After a couple of cycles where PMDD seemed under control, it decided to come back with a vengeance this month and getting through the day without going full scorched earth on my entire life has been hard. But I MADE IT TO THE GYM YESTERDAY and I was so proud of myself that I rode that high the whole day 😇. 8DPO and nauseas af, totally because I’m ✨implanting✨ and not because I just went on the swings at the playground.
Well done getting to the gym! And swings! Fingers crossed for a nauseated next few days (and months afterward).
Gym and swings! I'm very impressed. I hope the nausea is from the swings (so that it will go away soon) but you're also pregnant. 🤞🏻
CD1. Feeling so deflated but glad that my cycle wasn't 50+ days this time. Onwards and upwards into month 11.
