AF is officially here. I took Tlex advice and treated myself to a doughnut and I will have more than one cup of coffee.

remi I'm so sorry AF arrived for you. I'm so glad you treated yourself to a doughnut. I think AF will arrive for me tomorrow so we will almost be cycle buddies. sammysam I’m so hopeful for you this cycle. I know the dip in temps isn’t always because of implantation, but I have everything crossed for you! charliefox Good luck today with your IUI today! Tlex I’m so sorry you have such wonky/long cycles. That sounds unbelievably frustrating. I think you should definitely talk to your OB about getting a referral to an RE.

Thanks wildhoney but I have a feeling the dip was a fluke. I feel like my OPK should have been darker than it was if I was KU. If my symptoms persist I'll test for 2 more days but I have a feeling I'm out and I'll be on to cycle 15 by the weekend.

I'm in total denial that I'm very crampy and feeling super weepy and full of angst. Classic PMS for me but let's dip 20 wondfos anyways because we can! (Hey Amazon messed up my order last month and comped me these for free, who can resist the siren song of free tests? Not me.) I have an evap line on a 2 day old test that is giving me false hope. These are my confessions.

You totally go here! I just wasn't sure of your TTC history etc. Special snowflakes are definitely allowed I still hang out here even though I'm also on the IF board and I've been here forever...it helps me to have support from people who are also TFAS. Aw ok good! I apologize in advance for how many times someone will say something totally rational and I'll be like "yeaaaah but my body is a no." I'm thinking it's time to tell my family doc here I want a referral to an RE just so I can feel like someone else is helping me manage all of my body's... this. Personally, I’d get the referral. It doesn’t mean you have to do treatments but it does mean you have someone in your corner who totally gets it. It can take a while to get a consultation scheduled and then to do tests etc so might as well get on it 🤷🏼♀️

sammysam it’s only 9dpo so I wouldn’t trust a test either way.

I booked with my doc for next tues, hopefully he's happy to give me the referral. (I'm Canadian and we sometimes get a little less say in our healthcare here, IMO, than from what I've seen on these boards.)

Tlex My OB wouldn't give me a referral because she said I hadn't had enough losses. I called my insurance and they said the referral would only save me the copay. Do you have to have the referral in Canada? Hopefully your OB will give it you and you won't have to worry about it.

Do you have to have the referral in Canada? Hopefully your OB will give it you and you won't have to worry about it. Woof what a thing to base it on, I'm sorry. I've had 3 early losses and past testing that "diagnosed" the PCOS but I was 16 and it doesn't show in my medical records that transferred when I moved, I think? Anyways I'm willing to go through any and all testing again but idk what they'll say or want, no clue. It's only a family GP I'm seeing now, no OB here yet unfortunately. But he's generally pretty supportive, I can just tell we're way out of his wheelhouse on this topic.

Someone tell me to stop lurking the BMBs. I keep going in to check on specific people but then can't help scrolling through threads and then I realize how many people there are on those boards that I have seen come through here since I've been here. Just made me super sad. I'm happy for them...just sad for me. This is just me having a pity party by myself tonight.

I have to scroll on by everything pregnancy related on here and Facebook. I just can't even read it. If people here are able to enjoyably look at posts like that, I'm glad for them but I'm just not there. I'm so sorry you're sad. I'm sad. This is sad. Your feelings are totally relatable and justified.

BFN again this morning but breasts are still sore, heavy and more veined than usual (but that is likely just my optimism talking). I'll know for sure when I wake up tomorrow if AF will show. Last time I had a negative at 11 dpo...which would be tomorrow...and a super light posotive at 12...so I haven't totally ruled out hope yet...but I'm pretty sure we're on to the next cycle. Also just to mess with me my test had a clear indent line. No colour though. Gah.

sammysam, I'm still hopeful for you, but I completely understand why you're not. Tlex, hope you get that referral. I'm in the UK so don't get much choice about my medical care either, but on the other hand I don't need insurance! My bleeding has slowed but I still feel dreadful. Yesterday was childcare day so I had a break, but I didn't manage to see the doctor. I did get an appointment this morning, and H went to work late so that I could go without L. The doctor thinks my symptoms are probably caused by anaemia, so he took some blood for a blood count. I need to call at three o'clock and at that point he'll probably send an iron prescription to the pharmacy for me. He also referred me to a gynaecologist to check for endometriosis and to see if anything can be done about my horrible periods. He said that if I'm stressed every few weeks that doesn't improve our chances of conception. So it's a good result. I still feel rough, but hopefully I'll get a prescription by the end of the day and then I'll start feeling better.

purple I'm glad you got to the doctor. Anemia us the worst. My iron is still stupidly low from what happened and so whenever AF starts I am super dizzy, nauseous and feel shaky and unsteady the whole time. Luckily AF is not heavy or long for me...but it still feels terrible. I can always know if my iron is low by how I feel during AF.

Pretty sure breasts are less sore today and I'm feeling a little short tempered...so my guess is AF will be here tomorrow. Also temp have been creeping down the past 2 days. On to cycle 7 I think.

Surprise! CD1. Womp womp. At least it didn't make me wait.
Have an appt with my GP on Wednesday to get my pap and talk about a possible referral to am RE. I'm starting to think this might be our best route...

Despite the positive OPK and doing a trigger shot on Tuesday afternoon I still haven't O'd yet. Guessing it will be today. Of course H is feeling off, he thinks kidney or bladder infection but so far the labs show nothing (has another doc appointment tonight). Such a bummer because I really want to hit today to up our chances this cycle!

Ugh charliefox, I'm sorry H is not feeling well. That part of the fw stresses me out so much. Will h give it up or won't he?! is the question on my mind that whole week.

I know, it's one thing to deal with myself (since I have a low sex drive) but having to then deal with H is annoying. Oh well. I guess I just cross everything that the IUI did the job!

charliefox I hope your H is able to power through and that you hit tonight. I hate that the H factor is the one part of TTC that we can't control...which is so unfair since we basically have to handle everything else. I hope he is feeling better soon and I have all good feelings about this cycle for you!!!

Thanks akwild . I'm ok about it since I was pretty sure from the start it wasn't our month. But I have high hopes for the next 2 as it would put our EDD in January...which is DD's birth month. And we seem to have better luck with winter/spring EDD timing. I'm going to talk to the doctor on Wednesday and see what she thinks. I'll likely stick to my initial plan and keep trying until my July cycle before getting help. But if a referral will take like 4+ months I might get the ball rolling. As charliefox said I can always change my mind or cancel appointments but it probably doesn't hurt to get things started.

I got the best EWCM I've had this month today out of nowhere, and the darkest OPK I've had yet (still not a true positive). I'm going to pee on another tonight and hope I'm not out for this cycle yet. I O'd for D1 on CD119 so anything is possible!
