Hey guys. Hope everyone is doing well. I've been lurking:)
Anyways, US was a repeat of last summer. Measuring around 6 weeks...no baby. Should be 8+1. So I'm out.
We're done with trying for another baby. Sticking with the one we've got. BUT I love you guys and would like to stick around to offer support if you'll have me?
I'll just be here waiting on a repeat US followed by another d&c. I have no intention of waiting to hemorrhage again like last summer.

sammysam, big hugs girl. I've been wondering how you've been doing and hoped everything was ok. Take care of yourself and stay around here as long as you want! You've been so supportive to everyone here and it's only fair that we're here for you now. ❤️❤️

Thanks guys. My doctor is going to try to speed the process up for me a bit since we already both know how this ends and since at some point my body is going to freak out and I'd like to end this before it does. So hopefully we'll do the repeat US early next week and the d&c by the end of next week. I just don't want to wait around and run the risk of bleeding out again. At least DD has always been very adamant about not wanting a sibling so I'm trying to take solace in that.
I'll be here cheering you guys on and hoping you all get out of here soon!

Just got back from vacation and catching up!
Month/Cycle: 23/6AL
Timing: n/a
CD/DPO: cd9
Symptoms: n/a
RRCS: Just cruising through our last cycle before IVF. Finished Femara and need to start temping tomorrow. I also have a saline u/s tomorrow which is our last test before being cleared for IVF. This is usually a sucky month due to loss dates etc but I'm feeling pretty good. I've been (and will continue to be) super busy, plus I have lots of hope for IVF.

Cycle/month: 12
Timing: -6,-4,-2,O
CD/DPO: CD27 10DPO
Symptoms: sore boobs and emotional
RRCS: IUI #1 was on O day, but we found out H only had 3 motile sperm in his washed specimen. We had another appointment with our RE on Monday and H did another SA. His numbers were still quite low, but much higher than on the day we had our IUI, he had 1.4 million with 14% motility. So the RE is referring him to a urologist specializing in fertility. If he can get his count up to at least 5 million we will try IUI again, if not we will begin IVF w/ ICSI. H is currently trying to quit smoking and we ordered FertileAid for men. We haven’t heard back yet about how soon the urologist can see him. I can’t decide if I want to even bother testing this cycle. My temps are still up, but having only 3 sperm for the IUI kind of feels like what’s the point. I have a couple wondfos that expired last month so I may use those up.

I just want to say thank you ladies so. much. for the support in the last month. I know you know how much it means, but it really helped to keep me sane even as I was a creepy lurker before. I didn't plan (or expect) to move out so soon and who knows what the future holds, but for now I'm feeling confident enough to accept it, my lines are still getting darker and look like real lines.
At least I have the reassurance that this place will be here if I need it again (hopefully with all new women because you guys are getting out of here too). So thank you for being a safe place in one of my hardest times, and I can't wait to see you all outside of this board!! ❤

Radley FX that it isn’t PID and congrats on the house! Yogurt I’m glad your AMH was normal. Has your H done a SA yet? Or is he refusing to do any testing now? loorin hugs that is a lot to take in. FX that you can get some answers and a plan to move forward.

Yogurt I’m glad your AMH was normal. Has your H done a SA yet? Or is he refusing to do any testing now? You know, I asked the RE about it and at first he said yes why not just have it on file and then a few days later he was like, I think it's really pointless. If I have another loss I will push for it. All healthcare professionals that have seen me are thinking they were just a fluke, and I guess I agree. I thought my age might be a part of the issue (36 at the time) but the RE keeps saying how young I am in his general experience of the people he helps. My husband was fine to do it. I asked him and he was like sure whatever.

I do this every cycle. I was sharing my screen in a meeting last month and had to look something up in a browser window. As soon as I typed "d" into Google, it autocompleted with "due date based on ovulation." Which I quickly tried to make go away. It is only slightly embarrassing that that phrase is one of my top Google searches.

I wish I could be less obsessed each month but that's obviously my personality.

I’m working with a pregnant coworker today. I’ve been here for 1.5 hours and she hasn’t stopped talking about her pregnancy yet. She’s knowing about my struggles ttc and I even got pretty blunt with her this morning. I can only hide in the bathroom from her for so long. Only 6 more hours before she goes home. I hid her on Facebook when she posted her announcement, wish I could hide her IRL too.

octoberrustI saw a coworker who is pregnant and the other day I asked, "how are you?" And she said, "oh just getting fatter every day." In a really negative tone. I said, "Well aren't you lucky to have that problem." She knows about my losses and actually apologized to me. Being direct with her might help. Or she's an inconsiderate jerk. I'm sorry. Pregnants at work make me want to cry.

Ugh octoberrust, that's the worst. I've never understood how pregnant people think everyone constantly wants to hear about their pregnancy. Like even before we went through infertility it was so super annoying being around people like that and now it's unbearable. I hope the day passes quickly for you and she finds something else to talk about!

Welp it is PID. At this point we have no clue why it keeps happening. I’m benched and on antibiotics. I have an ultrasound scheduled for today to see how it’s looking. I’m really bummed.
