obscureference I'm sorry, the letrozole headaches are for real. Combined with caffeine withdrawal and a cold, I would definitely be taking tylenol...and probably a day off work. I hope it goes away after the last pill!! I'm 7DPO and for the first time in my life, I don't even want to test before AF is due. I opened a FRER foil pack last cycle and then didn't use it (because I saw I was spotting) so I will just take that the morning of 14DPO if my temp is still up. Haven't bought new cheapies, don't even want to go there yet. It's very new territory for me here but I hope it shortens the intense emotional time of the cycle! Is a 2018 (vs 2019) baby on anyone's mind? This time of year I start getting illogically stressed/pressured about getting pregnant by March. I need to find out the actual tax benefits so I can be like, ok it costs me x amount, no more, to get pregnant after March rather than before. My brain latches on to that and blows it out of proportion!

sunshiney I have definitely been thinking about the end of 2018 in terms of a baby. I haven’t thought about the tax side though. I was so sure I’d have a baby this year, but that is slipping away quickly. Ugh. I know the feeling of not even wanting to take a test.

It's definitely been on my mind too sunshiney. I haven't really thought about the tax stuff though. TW Loss I think it's hitting me harder this year than last year since I was "supposed" to have 2 babies in 2018. After TTC 2 years and 2 losses to show for it, I just want a take home baby, no matter the sex or month of birth.

Thanks guys! I talked to my OB's office this morning, and they ordered a repeat beta for tomorrow, so fingers crossed!! orangehibiscus I'm so sorry, that's hard. sunshiney I think about taxes related to baby too. Especially bc I'm worried we might owe this year. Everything to do with all of this causes so much pressure, it would be interesting to study how much infertility increases stress.

ap21ril I've read some studies on that and apparentlyIF causes stress levels at the same level as divorce, having cancer, or being diagnosed with HIV
