Congrats to those lines!
I'm still waiting on CD1. My dr has referred us to an RE, which I'm not too excited about.

Tapatalk wonโt let me post a photo! The lines on both my FRER and cheapies darkened since Monday so Iโm happy about that. Trying to stay cheerful and positive!

Great updates beenthere katespade! marigold I'm sorry. Are you ready to see an RE or are you going to wait? As for me, had a great ultrasound today. My uterine lining was the best it's ever been. And I have TWO great size follicles growing, one on each ovary. So I'm hopeful for this cycle. Now we just sex and wait. It's crazy to me how I have done the exact same medication three times and each time the response has been very different. I'm grateful I am doing monitored cycles, so I know what the hell this medicine is doing to my body. I never expected two follicles on this low of a dose.

Fingers crossed for everyone!
I have a question. Does anyone else get bad headaches during their period? I used to always get a bad one the day before CD1, and then it would go away after a day or 2. But this cycle, I have had a headache every day since Thursday (Friday was cd1). Google tells me the drop in estrogen can cause headaches, I'm just curious about others since it is worse than usual this time.

marigold, I understand being bummed about the RE referral. I will say speaking from my own experience, I found the RE to be significantly more proactive than my OBGYN. After months of spinning wheels, it was nice to feel like a little less helpless, like we had a plan. It can definitely be a lot to process. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the RE experience if you decide to pursue that route.

When I used a digital test in November, I got a NO. Today, I got this: I donโt think Iโll truly feel like Iโm out of the woods until this baby is in my arms, but that YES is definitely a little reassurance. And thank you to all of you. I donโt know if this will definitely be my rainbow, but you all have been so supportive through the challenges weโve had, and Iโm so thankful for that โค๏ธ

I do feel like I am more susceptible to headaches these past few months, in particular when my hormones are increasing or decreasing. Iโve mostly noticed the week or so before ovulation. But Iโm on a fertility med, which I assume makes it worse.

AF is supposed to show up today. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do if it doesn't show when I'm having negatives.

It's very frustrating when AF doesn't show, but you also aren't getting positives. The limbo is a complete mind fuck. T&P that AF doesn't show AND you get a positive.

I've taken today, 3 different brands, after reading extremely mixed reviews on the pregmates I've been using. They were negative. I'm starting to cramp now so I am guessing AF will show up here in the next few hours...

Iโm sorry beenthere. That really sucks to be in limbo. Iโm so glad to be in the tww. Ovulation cramps were really annoying and we hit 4 days in a row. Iโm ready for a break.

AF has still not shown up nor have I gotten any sort of definitive line so I am now thinking I O'd later or possibly haven't yet.

I'm actually really okay with it. I have my babies at 37 weeks so it would have been a September birthday, but an October birthday is the *dream* so I am really really hoping it happens this month.

DD is a September baby and I'm a teacher, so another September birthday would have been hell for me due to finances and time off. For me, a June/July birthday would be a dream. I'm past that due date though ๐

I think my next "perfect date" would be around Thanksgiving or Christmas so I would have an extra week of leave built in. I also would probably deliver at 37 weeks. I had preeclampsia with DD and was told I would most likely get it again. (If I ever manage to get pregnant again).

I'm starting a baby aspirin before pregnancy in the slim hopes I won't get it this time but I'm not hopeful ๐

I feel really optimistic about this cycle. I don't know if it's because it's the first cycle, or if it's because of the perfect birthday, or what but I am hoping it goes good
