I love all these stories of TWW craziness because I've done all of them at one point or another. It's just so reassuring to know I'm not alone because TTC makes me feel like I'm losing my mind for real!
Like the other day I casually mentioned to my sister I had bought a box of 50 ovulation tests and 20 pregnancy test and she was so shocked. She didn't know you could buy pregnancy test other than like clear blue digital and she couldn't understand how I would ever use so many test. I didn't tell her this is like the 5th or 6th time I've bought such a large package of tests lol.

sorry for the bfn remiTlex, ((hugs)) nights like those are needed sometimes. At 4 or 5dpo I think you're pretty safe sunny75, I hope it flies by! I've had forced breaks before and while not fun, and I'm always mad about the lost time, it's kinda nice as an emotional break. sharebear FX for nice follies! obscureference, we didn't use my trigger this cycle either and I'm over here like "better get to use it sometime!" Hopefully clomid treats you well. Yogurt how has the progesterone been? I hear it's a PITA ...or vag

Month/cycle: 12
Timing: n/a
CD/DPO: cd4
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I’m trying to pick my spirits back up after last cycle. I’m more bummed than I thought I would be about it, it was our last cycle of trying on our own. I want to go into our first IUI with a positive attitude, but I’m having trouble getting my head there. I should O about CD18, we will go in 24 hours after a positive opk.

charliefox I have not noticed a single side effect or anything from the progesterone. I don't feel sore, or sensitive or literally anything. The only negative is that the actual drug is in a suppository in like a waxy carrier substance and it feels like a weird waxy coating on the outside of your vag the next day (so...every day).

I'm so bummed about ttc. I know you mostly all are too. I just am so sad about it and some days it just comes over me in waves and I can't even believe this is really real life. Like fucking fuck me. What the fuck. Such a disappointing way for this to have gone. I just stupidly never expected this. I'm so sorry for any of you that are just swallowed up by sadness about this, whether it comes in brief moments or consumes your mind. I'm just so sorry for any of you that are hurting. And no, I didn't get into the wine, I'm just sad. ❤

Hi ladies. Just came to say I’m out. We’re in crisis mode right now with my H’s mental health. So no more trying at the moment. DD is almost 6 and I just don’t want to keep going after she hits first grade. I know many people do and have lovely families with even larger age gaps, but I don’t want that. So no more trying in a few months either.
The mental health stuff is indescribably terrible. I feel so bad that DD doesn’t have another kid to experience this with and at the same time, I’m so, so glad we weren’t successful when we started TFAS 18+ months ago. I can’t imagine surviving this with a toddler in the house too.
I’ll be wishing you all the best success and many babies. May pop in from time to time to check your progress. Thank you for the last year or so of support. This is a fabulous group and I’ve really valued going through the journey with you.
xoxo

Yogurt I think I would give it until 14 dpo if it were me. So like two more days? Idk, just seems like there’s a lot of stories out there about later bfps.

I think I'm having a mild-moderate freakout about starting clomid tomorrow. Stream of consciousness freakout below.
Mostly because I thought we were out this cycle and so DH and I ate lots of unhealthy food and drank lots of unhealthy cocktails while we were away last week and I haven't really been exercising the last couple months except for a run 1-2x/week. So pretty much I'm out of shape, flubbier than I'd like to be, and have had a crap diet for the past few weeks. Is this really the right time to trigger ovulation? If an egg is released, is it just going to be soaked in rose and grease from fried food? Also is this a waste of a cycle because we are already at CD 12? Granted, I never turn an OPK before CD 19 and lately it has been CD21-22, but still. And if luteal phase defect is my main ish, will clomid alone (no progesterone this cycle) trigger enough progesterone production? RE seems to think clmoid alone could help a lot and we can add on progesterone next cycle if this one is unsuccessful.
TL;DR - I'm freaking out a little.

shakinros, I'm so sorry about your H's health and that you're at the end of your ttc journey. Wishing you all the best for the future. Yogurt, much sympathy about the sadness. Mine comes in waves too. I think it's natural. TTC makes you so aware of the monthly cycle and it's impossible to get away from it. Tlex, it was definitely TTC Drinking Evening on Sunday. H and I shared a bottle of champagne. I find there's nothing quite like it for an alcoholic buzz! Also, sympathy for the tww madness. I am definitely there, every single month. sharebear, much sympathy. Can you talk this through with your doctor? octoberrust, mood is so difficult, and can't be forced in my experience. Try to accept the feelings you have and you may find they pass more quickly. charliefox, good luck! Hope they have some positive suggestions remi, I'm so sorry about the bfn. sunny75, sympathy. We were benched for three months last summer and it was miserable. pambee, I would just ask for all possible tests. One of the tests I had last summer couldn't be carried out until I was a certain number of weeks away from pregnancy, I can't remember how many. I hope they are helpful. radiantfate, fingers crossed for good timing!

Month/Cycle: Month 28. Cycle 6 after my most recent loss. Six babies lost in two years.
Timing: EOD for about ten days over my fw.
CD/DPO: CD 28. Not sure how many dpo as I wasn't using opks because I expected this month to be a washout
Symptoms: Nothing hopeful. Occasional crampy twinges that make me want to shout at af to hurry up.
RRCS: So this is the second month in a row that I've got as far as cd28. I'm choosing to interpret this as a hopeful sign. I don't usually get this far unless pregnant, stressed or ill. I don't think I'm pregnant this month, but I'm no more stressed than usual and not particularly ill. So if this continues, surely it'll come with a bfp soon!
So now that birthday week is over, the next milestone in my life is next Tuesday, which is the anniversary of losing the twins, and also L's last day at preschool until August. H is encouraging me to find something special to do on Wednesday when I have all day childcare, so I have that to look forward to. The only thing I can think of is a spa day, which is a) expensive and b) logistically awkward.

The nurse practitioner who prescribed it hasn't returned my calls since the week before memorial day. She gave me no instructions, just left me a message that she was calling in the prescription.

Yogurt that is annoying AF. Not returning calls is one of my pet peeves. Ugh ugh ugh. And also annoying is that she didn't put the instructions as part of the RX. I'm sorry :/ purple I talked over some of my freakout yesterday and he was very logical in why this plan could work. I'm just a control freak and so much of this is out of my control. Thus, the freakout. Also - what about a DIY spa day? Or pool day? Or Costco day? I used one of my personal days a couple weeks ago to sit by the pool in the morning, go to Costco in the afternoon, and then do my nails before doing daycare pickup.

shakinros I'm sorry about your H and that you are finished. I hope you can all get through this time with some sanity, and that your H can get the help he needs ❤ Yogurt I echo what the others have said, I would wait 1-2 more days. I also understand your hesitation to and the anxiety that comes with the fear of false hope, so hugs. And I'm so sorry your office won't call you back, that is absurd. I feel like so often we don't get the instruction or full information that we need if we don't ask for it (and sometimes, how do we even know to ask!) But then are shamed or get a flick on the wrist for consulting "Dr Google". 🙄 sharebear I'm sorry you're in freak out mode. I don't have advice, just wanted to add you to a group hug. purple I'm glad you brought up testing while pregnant, I wasn't really in that mindset since I'm not there right now but I have added it to my list to bring up, so I can be fully prepared.

sharebear I read somewhere, probably on here, that if we waited until all conditions were perfect, no one would ever have a baby. I say forge ahead, trust your RE as far as timing of taking the clomid. Also, eggs take 90 days to mature so whatever eggs you might ovulate this month wouldn’t have been affected by drinking or diet over the last couple weeks! I find that I’m much more likely to be kicking myself for dragging my feet in something that turns out to be no big deal. I mean yes it’s a medicated cycle, but in the scheme of fertility treatments, clomid is not a big deal! Good luck! ETA: also, if you find out you do need progesterone, you’ll be able to do that the following cycle and be one step closer to the right combo for you. Fertility treatments can be a long process of trial and error.
