I'm 11 DPO and all BFNs. I'm pretty bummed but anxious to move on to our first treatment cycle.

QOTW: I'm pretty sure my mom heard us having sex one night. She used to spend one night a week at our house when I was teaching last fall so she could watch DS the next morning. One month it fell during FW and DH and I did what we had to do but it got a little loud. The next morning my mom casually mentioned something about "sound really carrying in your house." I was mortified!

[wannabmama]

Ha caer that's pretty funny!
We have had a bunch of funny things...one of my favorites was that we were away with my family and staying in a loft that opened to the whole house. It was during FW so we tried the shower...but it was tiny and not possible...so we had to move to bathroom floor, also cramped and awkward. We were laughing by the end and MH was like...man, if this is the one that works, I'll never be able to look at the kid without thinking of this moment.

I'm WTO, CD10 and I don't usually O until 16-20 spa few days before I need to amp things up. It's our last full cycle before we do prep for IVF so it's a total Hail Mary. H and I are currently "off" a bit, but hopefully we get back on track by the end of the week...

Sorry about the BFNs, caer. That story is pretty funny. I would be mortified if my parents heard me.
I'm here at 2DPO. IUI#4 was on Father's Day. Unfortunately I was sick with a stomach bug Wednesday-Sunday so we hit no days other than the IUI. It's weird to think that I will have no more RE appts (if this IUI didn't work), medications, or shots anymore but I'm also kind of looking forward to it. The current plan is to go with natural cycles for a few more cycles, but I think it's going to be more like NTNP. I'm just tired and really don't have it in me to go back to temping, OPKs, and feeling so much pressure to HIO during my FW.

FX for you sleepymonkey. I know what you mean about being tired of all of it. I hope you won't need to worry about it at all.

[wannabmama]

I feel you sleepymonkey I think we will try one or maybe two more IVF cycles, at the very most. After that, it's just natural cycles. I won't track or anything. It's been our whole marriage spent focused on having a baby. I hate the feeling of "giving up" but my energy is just waning to keep at it. Maybe IVF will work for us, and I'm trying to keep hope alive that the next one is "the" one...but I'm also just so very tired.

[sleepymonkey]

wannabmama, I have my fingers crossed so hard that IVF will work for you. TTC is stressful on a marriage and I know mine has suffered a bit over the past year. If we aren't successful in the next few months and decide to give up, I am going to propose to MH that we take a little mini-vacation without DD. I think we need some time to decompress and reconnect after this emotional rollercoaster.

[caer]

sleepymonkey - our situation was a little different but we took a solo trip after our loss. It definitely helped us remember how much we love being together and reminded us that we'll be ok, no matter the size of our family. I definitely recommend getting away if you can. (((Hugs)))

I'm currently waiting for my natural cycles to start up again. In the meantime, DH and I were instructed to use protection (UGH) which kind of kills the fun. The good news is DH is off nights at the end of this week so maybe that will make a difference in how we both feel.

QOTW: We totally scarred DS one evening. He was looking for us to ask DH a question and didn't think to knock before entering our bedroom. He couldn't look at either of us in the face for a long time after walking in on DH and I having sex, LOL.

I'm in cycle limbo. I have no clue where I am!!!!!
I never had a true period last month, just 6 days of spotting. The most that was ever on the pad was twice there was spots the size of a quarter the rest of the time was just pink when I wiped. Never in my life has this happened. My body is trying to keep me on my toes, mixing it up a bit!!!!!
Spotting started on May 31, the two days it actually was enough to get on the pad was the 2nd and 3rd of June. But I really wouldn't call what I had a period. I hope this isn't the beginning of menopause. I didn't have any blood work at my gyn checkup this year but last year everything was normal. I hope it's just a messed up cycle.
My cervix is high and closed so I don't think I will have a period in the next few days.
I did add maca and Royal jelly to my supliments I will have to look to see if that could be the culprit. It's the second month I'm on them so my last true period was before starting.
Google search here I come!!!!

[sleepymonkey]

hooligans4, that sounds frustrating. It's probably just a wonky cycle but it still sucks!

[wannabmama]

Ugh hooligans4 that's super annoying!! I've been taking Royal jelly and maca too and no side effects like that...but who knows! I hope it's just a weird cycle for you.
