purple I’m so sorry you’ve been so unwell. I hope that your doctors can help you get better quickly. And you really had better stick around here!!

I’m still waiting to O. I think it’s coming soon because tonight’s OPK was darker than it has been.

Yogurt I only have the boob pain which I get every month...I do have shooting boob pain which is new...but I'm pretty sure it's from gas:/ The times I have no symptoms is when I end up pregnant. BUT I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us. Was your temp up or down today? Up, but still not enough for crosshairs! If I discard the cd22 low temp, I do get them on cd 19.

Yogurt Yeah I'd say you definitely O'd sometime around CD 18 or 19. Funny how FF changes predictions based on the smallest things. I put EWCM in for yesterday and it took my crosshairs away...but I know O was CD 11 so I took EWCM off my chart and the cross hairs came back.

Anyone else in the TWW who wants to share their crazy symptom spotting? It's only 3dpo for me and I'm already Googling. I've been TTC for so long now I'm not sure how I'll pass my time if I ever get out of here. 8dpo, no symptoms, just antsy! My LP is usually only 8-9 days, but this cycle was medicated and may be different. Going to buy some HPTs right now anyway. 😉

15DPO aaaaand AF appeared this morning. Back to CD1 and back to the RE this month.
Actually grateful for an insanely busy couple days at work filled with running across town from meeting to meeting. Ain’t nobody got time to be a wreck about CD1.

Tlex been thinking about you, you're welcome back whenever you're ready. Thank you ❤️just sitting and waiting for AF to arrive, getting cramps today so I think tomorrow is the day. I have a very consistent LP so that would all add up. Feel like I haven't been very supportive this week, sorry everyone, been obsessively in my own head. Embarrassingly so. I started my testing (blood work shows a 1:2 FSH to LH ratio which is common with PCOS - and can be easily treated im reading!) so I have new hope that my doctor can prescribe something MH would be comfortable with. (He's not keen on meds that increase our odds of multiples.) Ultrasound in 2 weeks to see what my ovaries have going on. I still hope I can get referred to a proper RE.

So sorry Tlex. And you’re SO supportive that I don’t think I’d worry about one week where you need to take care of yourself.

Thanks sammysam remi sharebear and anyone else I missed. I feel like I’m constantly discovering things I didn’t know about this process and should have. Maybe most of you knew this but PSA/vent session in case anyone else is as uninformed as I seem to be... My insurance does not cover injectable medication. I knew this. My first month of injections, the RE’s office just gave me the meds and said I could pay out of pocket for the next round. Well the pharmacy just called and y’all, this medication will cost over a thousand dollars for one week of treatment. A thousand dollars. I said yes, go ahead and charge it. But I’m thinking about calling the RE back to say I don’t want to take it this month. If my H’s sperm count hasn’t improved at all, taking this medication now would just be like pissing away a thousand bucks. We’re not going to buy this medicine again. So I feel like I want to wait on it until sperm analysis shows we have a chance. WWTFASD?

If I were in your place right now I would just wait on sperm analysis, as awful as that is.

shakinros If you're only going to the the meds once I'd probably wait until the results from the next SA come back. If numbers are improving I'd wait a cycle...if not then I'd just go for it and hope for the best. That being said I'm so impatient I'd probably just go for it now and then if it didn't work out and the SA showed numbers improving I'd convince SO to try the meds one more time;) I know. I'm no help.

Too kind, shakinros. I hate that money ever has to come between people and their goals for growing their family. I'm so sorry you even have to consider this decision. I have no idea what I'd do in your shoes. I could see myself going either way. Patience isn't one of my virtues (ha) so I could definitely see myself wanting to just say F it and try. I think MH would talk me into waiting and spend $1k in the month in between to keep me distracted from how much I hate waiting. 😜

I was referred a week and a half ago and I'm still waiting on a phone call to set up an appointment:/ How many things can one person be expected to wait for 😪 really though, I hope they get you in soon. Come. On. You know they'll want to do all their own blood draws and blah di blah blah come back for another appointment to discuss those results. We'll have to come up with new hobbies while we do all this waiting. Speaking of, what are all y'alls hobbies? One of mine is saying y'all whenever I can because I am so used to seeing it here and I find it charming.

Tlex You're making me laugh today:) Hobbies...I write songs, play guitar and sing. I also paint murals for children's rooms. DD doesn't let me do either very often so at the moment all things Paw Patrol are my hobbies.

DD doesn't let me do either very often so at the moment all things Paw Patrol are my hobbies. I've always wondered who paints the murals I see! I'll now think it was you every time. Any you care to share? That's so cool that you write/play/sing. I can carry a tune but don't have the creativity or bravery required to create music from scratch. I crochet, obsess over architectural housing floor plans (both modern and historical), and bake. I often stress bake. I enjoy cooking but I wouldn't quite call it a hobby. Maybe when I'm old and rich and don't have critical kids to feed it will be a hobby. I also rearrange the furniture in our house a lot.

shakinros +1 to wait for the SA to come back. Did your so already give a sample? I don’t know what meds you will be taking but do they have to start CD1? Patience sucks. I have none. That’s why I have spent too much money on pregnancy tests. I can’t wait until a long time dpo to test. I want to test as soon as I ovulate!

Tlex my SO would love you. He's an architect so you guys would definitely get along. I wish I could crochet! I taught myself to knit with a book called "knitting for 8 year olds"...My grandmother was a whiz with the hooks. I wish I would have taken the time to have her teach me. I don't have any of my murals digitally but I'll see if I can find my portfolio once we are finally settled in our house (still living out of bags at my parents house while everything is packed away...). And I envy everyone who can cook well!

That’s why I have spent too much money on pregnancy tests. I can’t wait until a long time dpo to test. I want to test as soon as I ovulate! Haha. This is so me. I keep saying I'm going to wait until 12 dpo to test but I would pee on things daily if I could. I keep saying to anyone who will listen that if we can do all these amazing things with science why can't they invent a foolproof test that can tell us immediately whether we're pregnant? That way we could just keep going each cycle until the little bell rings and says "you are now pregnant" or "oops...missed the egg" so we could eliminate the TWW entirely. I obviously haven't worked our all the bugs...but I'm calling it a solid idea. Now all I need is a super smart science person to get this put together...
