April TTC

[catlady22]

This is a combined TTC thread for EVERYONE currently TTC. Whether you're a first timer, a many timer, or an old timer come on in and pass the time as we struggle through WTO and the dreaded TWW.

As this is a combined thread there will be talk of LC, losses, and IF struggles. If any of these are hard for you please just let us know in your first post and I'm sure the lovely ladies on here will be happy to add TWs to accommodate.

Month/Cycle: 13/6 AL

Timing: -4, -2, O

CD/DPO: 18/ 5 or 6?

Symptoms: n/a

RRCS: I did pretty much all the extra vitamins, seed cycling, etc. that I could find this month. If this month actually worked then we would have the same due date as our 1st loss last year. I am crossing everything. 🤞

GTKY: What is your favorite book or series? I pretty much read either nonfiction or YA novels/smut because it's brainless and relaxing. I love pretty much all of what charlaine harris writes.

Month/Cycle: 4 years, 3 months (but have been taking a break from TTC for the past 3 months)

Timing: N/A

CD/DPO: CD 3

Symptoms: N/A

RRCS: I started working on my health about halfway through last month and not only did I lose 9 lbs (down 17 total from my highest), but my blood pressure is also *almost* back down to normal again. So that's good. Trying to make sure that's good before we resume actively TTC again. Also so maybe doctors will take me seriously instead of dismissing my trouble TTC as a weight issue OR refusing to treat my diagnosed infertility issues.

GTKY: What is your favorite book or series? Having a hard time choosing here! I am currently reading Madly in Love With Me by Christine Arylo at the recommendation of my therapist and it's pretty good so far. If I think back over the past few years, I think Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Saffran might be a favorite, and the Divergent series a guilty pleasure.

Month/Cycle: 2 years next month

Timing: n/a taking a break

CD/DPO: 17/3-5? At least my cycles are looking like a normal length again. Last month, first off clomid, I ovulated before day 10 and had a 22 day cycle.

Symptoms: Feeling normal again after being sick from my second covid shot last weekend

RRCS: I think we will do iui again next month with new doctor/meds. Maybe 1 more month off, not sure yet.

GTKY: What is your favorite book or series? I'll always love Harry Potter series, right now I'm working through the Outlander series after the show.

Timing: Na

CD/DPO: CD9

Symptoms: none

RRCS: Obviously didn't get pregnant last month but I did ovulate! So at least I feel like something is happening.

GTKY: What is your favorite book or series? Children's book/series Anne of Green Gables. Adult I'm not sure I definitely have authors who I enjoy but not sure about just one series.

Month/Cycle: 18/5AL

CD/DPO: 19/5

Symptoms: n/a

RRCS: I got a prescription for letrozole from my OB so we can use that while waiting for the fertility clinic. Our orientation with them is late next week and then we can book our cycle and hope we have some embryos to send for genetic testing. I talked with the doctor and she said that I will be on the max dose of medication, so it’s going to be a *fun* cycle. Then I will have an ERA and then we can transfer if we are so lucky.

GTKY: What is your favorite book or series? I like crime books like James Patterson and Micheal Connelly. I also have a soft spot for Harry Potter books.
