Yogurt I think the biggest thing I learned from our loss is that some things are beyond our control. All we can do is the best we can do and we have to be ok with that. Life has risks so we either choose to live with them or hide from them. And as my doctor said to me...just because something happens once does not mean it will happen again. Anyways, if I do get KU again I'm not going to try to hide it out of fear (I'm in no way suggesting you would do this. Just talking about myself here). We "hid" our pregnancy with DD and I hated it. With our loss I was much more open about it and even though the way it ended was not ideal I preferred that people knew we had lost a baby that was so wanted and so loved rather than not know anything at all. Just me rambling now. I'll stop:)

OK so since I've been here forever and have seen so many people come and go I am now going to write a song for each person who graduates out if here (and yes, I have an actual tune for this...got my guitar out and everything). So Yogurt this one's for you! Oh yogurt, yogurt, yogurt When we first met you went insane When after one month you remained Thought you'd be out of here so quick But some times life has cruel tricks So you had to stay and get to know us all Some say it's luck, some say it's fate But yogurt has an expiry date Oh yogurt we're so glad you're moving on You would temp when H would sleep He F*ING hated that stupid beep For a few days you two went away But as 3 you came back again But you didn't know about it all just yet Some say it's luck some say it's fate But yogurt has an expiry date Oh yogurt we're so sad to see you go When again the spotting came and struck We crossed our fingers, wished for luck No double take, no need to blink The line was definitely pink It was time to say good bye now to us all Some say it's luck some say it's fate But yogurt has an expiry date Oh yogurt we're so glad to see you go We wish that you could stay and play But so glad to see you move away Hope you'll be happy when we say We'll likely lurk you every day Oh yogurt were so glad you're moving on! Some say it's luck some say it's fate But yogurt has an expiry date Oh yogurt we can't wait to watch you grow!

sammysam daily during the FW is intense! DH works out of town 4-5 days a week, so we only actually have 2-3 days/week to BD. It sounds like most REs are cool with EOD during the FW, so there's not much to lose. And potentially some sanity (and energy!) to gain. Yogurt So. F.ing. Exciting. AFM - I officially got my first positive wondfo opk last night. I have never actually turned one positive in my cumulative years of TTC. So that was pretty exciting. It also coincided with DH getting home from a work trip, so the timing was pretty good. I am still thinking of this cycle as just practice, but it got me pretty pumped that I'm not completely broken and maybe that these Wondfos aren't broken either.

sharebear That's awesome! I'm so excited for you! I love when timing works out like that:) With SO and I not living in the same city scheduling TTC is HARD so I totally get it. I'm so hopeful this will be your month...even if you're just using it for practice;)

sharebear, Yay for the positive OPK! And I'm glad the timing is working out! I'm still waiting for my OPKs to be delivered from Amazon. I checked my account and it said that they had tried to deliver yesterday but UPS couldn't find my house. I do live in a kind of rural area but I've had about 1 million packages delivered by UPS without a problem before 🙄 I don't even need the OPKs until next week but I hope I get them soon.

Omg sammysam I love the song. Act 2 of Shakinros’s attempts to get her fertility meds.... Went to the RE this morning. Only 1 follicle this month, which is kind of a bummer since the medication is SOOO expensive. IUI will be Monday. I’m to give myself an Ovidrel trigger shot Sunday morning and it should be in the package that is finally arriving today from the pharmacy. So off I go to work, H is waiting at home to sign for the package. He just texted me that it arrived - no Ovidrel shot in there. Ok fine. Call the doctor back. They close at 1 today and are not open tomorrow but will leave an Ovidrel cartridge outside in the biohazard box for me. IN THE BIOHAZARD BOX. Nice office assistant suggests I come tonight to get it as she “doesn’t know what happens to things in there overnight.” Whut. I feel strongly that every additional bit of hassle in this cycle should improve my chances of this being the lucky one.

Also - did the pharmacy just send an empty box???

sharebear no, not an empty box, thank goodness. It did have a package of Gonal F in it. Since my doctors office took pity on me Tuesday and gave me one from their stock, I’m taking this one back to them as a trade. I can’t wait to get home and see the packing slip/invoice. Dying to know if the pharmacy just forgot the Ovidrel, or the Doctor didn’t order it or what.

You've been through so much just to get your meds. I really hope this cycle works for you!

shakinros I can't believe how crazy your story is getting! It definitely has to lead to a positive now. And WTF to the bioazard box...and what exactly DOES happen to stuff in that box overnight??? I may never look at a bioazard box the same way.

So because of that change FF has me at 3 DPO. Ugh... the days always move so slow in tww!

Thanks ladies. It is all too silly at this point.
Act 3: Ovidrel was retrieved without incident last night. They have like six biohazard boxes outside, only one was unlocked. There were also a couple things in there labeled for other people so I guess this is a thing they do?

There were also a couple things in there labeled for other people so I guess this is a thing they do? I work in a doctors office and we have a biohazard box. It’s for the lab to pick up specimens. So if we drew blood or have urine etc and it was after hours we can call them and have them pick it up from the box. But they are all in bags and stuff so it’s no big deal!

I have my monitoring u/s on Monday after they leave, FX I don't get a + OPK before then or this IUI cycle is totally a bust.
