RRCS: We ended up having decent timing because I O'ed about when I hoped to, so now we wait and see. Usually the TWW is stressful, but WTO was way more stressful this time around.

GTKY: I love to read or sit on the couch and watch my shows that I never have time to watch. Going to Target by myself is always a preferred activity too.

GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend (your very, very limited) time to yourself? Sleeping, working out, or watching crappy TV.

RRCS: I'm out this cycle and waiting for AF to start. I always start spotting on 8/9DPO. I got my hopes up a little but then it started yesterday. I have wondfos expiring soon so I took today, just in case since I spotted with DS, and it was negative.

GTKY: I love my trash TV and the gym

[budders]

Sorry this cycle didn't work out expatmama11.

[kam3100]

Sorry expatmama11 that this cycle was a bust.

[Risscaboobs]

Boo. I'm sorry, expatmama11.

CD/DPO: 28/10

RRCS: All this testing etc is suck a mindfuck. So far, the only thing that's come back abnormal is my thyroid. When I found out yesterday I was super excited that this might be our easy answer...until I thought more about it and realized that until my levels get down to where they want we should probably TTA and once my levels are good then we're back to just TTC again (if no other problems are found) which makes me really nervous that it could still take a really long time. Don't get me wrong, I will be ecstatic if we can avoid further intervention but watching each cycle go by, and the calendar get pushed out is really messing with me. We wanted 2u2 and will be super lucky if we get 2u3, but it's not looking good. Womp, womp.

GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend (your very, very limited) time to yourself? I like to read a book at my favorite coffee shop, or go for a long walk. I'm not super exciting

I have thyroid issues and if you have a good Endocrinologist they will get you situated as soon as 6 weeks. The trick is getting a good endo and getting an appointment. Do you know where your levels were at?

[charliefox]

kam3100, I'm seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist - does that count? The nurse told me over the phone that my thyroid was at 3.79 and they want it below 2.5 (although, others I've talked to said their docs wanted them lower than 1 before TTC). They started me on 50mcg of Levothyroxine and want to redo bloodwork in 4-6 weeks. The nurse wasn't super helpful, but I do have an appointment coming up with my RE on Sept 1st.

I *think* an RE is fine. You will start feeling a difference soon. Just make sure you take the levothyroxine an hour before you eat or drink (you can have water) no exceptions. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

I was recently tested at 2.49 and they gave me a higher dose because when someone gets pregnant the levels will rise. That's why they say go lower than 1, because they expect the rise.

Good luck, I bet you will start feeling more energetic soon!

RRCS: My cycles have been all over the place. Sometimes they are 38 days long, others they are 25. It's been quite a mindfuck.

I love to read, go running (more like jog/walking, let's be honest), and take long bubble baths while watching Dateline on my ipad.

Yogurt, 9 and 10dpo is still pretty early, don't count yourself out yet. But I share your sentiments tonight that TTC fucking sucks.

I have a 10-11 day luteal phase, so I thought if I'd turn a test, I'd do it by 10 dpo. I've never gotten past 11 I don't think.

Got it. Mine is 11 days too, without progesterone. I don't necessarily think a shorter LP means you would turn a test any earlier though, from what I know.

Another bfn at 11dpo. AF should be here today or tomorrow. How depressing.

[Risscaboobs]

Sorry, Yogurt.

[budders]

Sorry for the BFNs Yogurt.

[kam3100]

Aww sorry Yogurt

[Yogurt]

kam3100 Risscaboobs budders thank you. ❤

I'm spotting. See you (hopefully not) in WTO.

This sucks and I hate it.

I'm sorry Yogurt. ((hugs))
