May TTTC

[a224b]

I found this when starting to tttc my second a few months ago and found the responses very helpful but it looks like theres been limited activity since April. Is anyone still here? Im 37 and have a 15 month old dd. 

[catlady22]

I'm still here. I'm 10dpo and BFN so far. Dr ordered an hsg for me, so hoping that helps.

[shellsncheese]

I'm still here. I'm currently 5dpo of a natural cycle. Planning on trying another iui next cycle.

I am CD 5, usually ovulate around cd14. Im going to temp for the first time. Is a BBT thermometer really necessary or will I still see the drop with a regular thermometer?

I think BBT does more decimals? I use a wearable one that does many places.

I’m here. I had a chemical last cycle, and I am currently CD16. I start Estrace on Friday to do an egg retrieval. If we are lucky enough to get any embryos, we will be sending those for genetic testing.

I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you get a bunch of healthy embryos!

[Carmichael]

Thanks catlady22. I hope the HSG helps! ❤️ Do you know when it is?

[catlady22]

Carmichael it was supposed to be next week, but I need to have surgery next week - so probably a month out. I am super hopeful that it will be what helps us. My last 2 losses were bc of blocked tubes, so I hope it clears my one tube that's left.

[Carmichael]

catlady22 Good luck with your surgery. I hope the HSG can blast through that blockage when the time comes.

Thank you!

I am also still here. This will be my 4th cycle on Femara but I'm not hopeful this month. I have my second covid vaccine Thursday which will be right before I will probably ovulate. So hopefully I don't react poorly to the shot but I'm not holding my breath.

[Carmichael]

ambiguousmango I hope you have a minimal reaction to your vaccine.

[catlady22]

ambiguousmango I had my 2nd shot this month the day before I ovulated too. I had no reactions, hope the same for you!

[catlady22]

I was able to get my hsg done (surgeon okayed it) just a few days before my surgery. My only tube was completely blocked, but the dr was hopeful that he cleared it. 🤞 not sure if we'll be able to try this month since im recovering from surgery but maybe!

[ambiguousmango]

It's CD 32 over here but per my OPKs I ovulated around CD15. I don't know what to do with myself as I'm waiting on my OB to call back.

I assume you have taken a test??

Whoops forgot to add that part 😂 Yes I have taken a test every other day since CD25 and all negative. So I don't know if my body is just being dumb or if I can be cautious optimistic?

Hmm, I hope it's the latter!

Thank you. How are you feeling? Have you gotten the all clear from your surgery?

I'm good. We tried this cycle. I never have ovulation pain, but I had left sided cramping this month on ovulation day. The only problem is I have no left tube, so that probably means it's not likely this month.

[ambiguousmango]

catlady22 🤞 it's unrelated.

[catlady22]

ambiguousmango have you heard from your dr yet?

Not yet, but still no period. I didn't test this morning but I will again tomorrow. I keep swinging from "maybe this is actually happening" over to "my body is just dumb, don't get your hopes up".

I am on day 11 of stims for IVF. For both of my prior cycles, my egg retrieval was always day 10, but I had an ultrasound this morning and I am still not ready. I have another ultrasound in the morning. We had to travel to do this, so we had to cancel our flight home (since I was Positive it would be the same day), find another hotel for a few more days and cross my fingers tomorrow I will be ready to trigger. I am so frustrated and just want to go home.

I'm sorry. I really hope today is the day for you!

[ambiguousmango]

Carmichael Oh no! That's just a lot to deal with. I hope today goes much better.

[ambiguousmango]

Well I'm out. Tested this morning, negative, and I'm starting to spot. I predict my period will be full force by this afternoon 😞

[catlady22]

Hugs ambiguousmango

[Carmichael]

I’m sorry ambiguousmango. ❤️

I am ready to trigger today, but I still have a lot of smaller follicles that aren’t ready, but if we don’t trigger now we will miss the big ones. I am not that confident on what we will get, but it’s out of my hands. Monday we’ll know how many we got, and Tuesday how many fertilized.
