**WTO/TWW 8/1-8/8**

[wannabmama]

Let it out here. Tell us where you are in your cycle. Are you feeling good? Anxious? Happy? Sad?
WTO and trying to seduce the SO?!
In the TWW and spotting symptoms like crazy? Need company on the crazy train?
Talk it out here!

GTKY: What would you like to learn how to do?

[hooligans4]

Is it possible to have a two month TWW.
Lol for me it is!!!!
My doctors apt is today at three so hopefully after some blood work I will have a game plan.
Has anyone here ever had to jumpstart their period. What an I looking at having to go through. I ask only because I'm going camping for a week next week and I really don't want to deal with anything crazy while gone.

Also what blood work should I make sure is done. I will have them check hcg before I take anything to bring on my period. I haven't tested in a couple of weeks but I know I'm not pregnant.

I'm 3DPO. This cycle hit me harder than usual. It's weird how some just seems worse on my emotions. I decided to start taking CoQ10 this cycle to see if that helps at all. I just keep thinking it has to be an egg quality issue and CoQ10 might help. I'll try anything at this point.
GTKY: I would like to learn to sew. I would save so much money in curtains and other things if I could so it. Maybe someday.

I think CoQ10 takes three or more months to see s result so hang in there a few more months to see if it helps.

hooligans4 - I hope you get a good game plan. The only time my AF was delayed was after a freeze all cycle when I got OHSS. I think it was day 49 when I finally went in and they gave me some form of progesterone (I think - maybe prometrium) that I had to take for 10 days. It did finally bring on AF.

sleepymonkey - I started taking CoQ10 about 2 months before my last IVF cycle. How much are you taking? My RE suggested 600mg/day. I did have better looking 3 day embryos than the last time I went through IVF. But, sadly it didn't work out for us. I'm still taking it in hopes that it does help.

[jlincoln]

I'm in the tww, CD29, 14dpo. I'm starting to feel AF symptoms so know my med free cycle didn't work. Waiting of CD1 so I can call and get the IUI cycle started. Our last hail mary before our final IVF cycle. We never did IUI with my current RE (who is sooooo much better than the first one I saw), so I thought that we should give it a try. Can't hurt, and I just not ready for all those shots, etc. that go along with IVF.

[obscurereference]

hooligans4 Sorry for the long cycle. Hope you can get meds soon to get it jump started.

Hugs sleepymonkey.

jlincoln Sorry for impending AF.

I am CD16. We are doing every other day and are about halfway through my estimated FW. I'm just guessing at this point based on past charting and ovulation pain. I'm feeling sort of indifferent at this point. Sex is really hard to fit in sometimes!

GTKY: I would also like to know how to sew. I have done a bit of sewing in the past and could probably sit down and do an ok job, but I have zero free time to practice.

[sleepymonkey]

jlincoln, I'm starting with 400mg this month. The strongest I found at the drugstore was 200mg so I'm taking 2x/day. I feel like I'm just grasping for something to help us. I don't deal well with an unexplained 2IF diagnosis. I would really prefer to know the reason, if that makes any sense at all.

That's good.  I was able to get 300mg pills on amazon.  My RE really only suggests this for help.  I know how you feel.  I'm unexplained, however I do have thin lining (they don't really say that's the issue although I can't get my darn lining over a 6.5) and I have questionable egg quality issues, which again they don't say that's the reason either, but when I have over 25 eggs retrieved, transfer 2 on day 3 and have none to freeze, you have to know that's an issue.  So, with these pills, I thought why not. 

[sleepymonkey]

jlincoln, my AMH was borderline normal and that's the only thing they found so it wasn't enough to give me anything other than unexplained 2IF. Other than poor egg quality, the only other thing I can think of could be scar tissue on my uterus from my previous c-section preventing implantation but there's not much I can do about that if that's the case. Since we pretty much exhausted everything with the RE short of IVF, I figure I'm at the point where I'll try anything that could help. I'll search Amazon tonight for 300mg pills!

The doctor I saw today was older than dirt. He is one of the originals in the practice, I thought he retired but nope, he's gotta be about 80. Nice man though, thorough in he's exam. He said unless I have a family history of early menopause (I don't)he doesn't think that's it.
Didn't want to do any testing other than blood hcg before I start progesterone for 10 days. He said my hormones are probably out of whack. He said if period doesn't start from the prog or if they are wonky after prog works then I have to go back for further testing.
Well I'm going in am to the lab then if that's neg ( which it will be) then he wants me to start progesterone on wednsday. The bad thing about that is he said it will probably start period a few days before I finish the 10 pills. That puts me right in the middle of my camping trip.
Do I just suck it up and deal with it or wait another 10 days to take it.

[wannabmama]

That's tough hooligans4 if it's no big deal to wait maybe that will just be easier?

[hooligans4]

Just picked up the provera, I will call tomorrow to make sure blood test was neg. I think I will just start taking it. I'm hoping my period will be light like it normally is.

Anyone take it before, what side effects am I look ing at if any?

If it could make bleeding worse I will wait and take it after camping.

[wannabmama]

I don't have any experience to help you out hooligans4 but I hope it doesn't cause any problems!! Have fun camping!!

[purple]

hooligans4, no experience, but good luck, and I hope it doesn't intefere with your camping trip.

Good luck with the medication, sleepymonkey. Unexplained IF is such a frustrating diagnosis!

AF is probably here by now, jlincoln. I am sorry.

I'm on CD5. Last cycle was 24 days, which is normal for me. It's a shame I got thoroughly mixed up and thought I didn't need to take any tampons or towels on holiday. We were staying with my inlaws in a holiday cottage in the middle of nowhere. The local shop had something, but it didn't cope very well with my usual extremely heavy flow! I also had a couple of days of heavy grieving. H didn't want to tell his family about the miscarriage when we were in the middle of it, so I told his sisters last week (we're good friends). It was cathartic but also painful to talk about it.

Back from holiday now, and H is back to work tomorrow, so it'll be reality with a big bump!

I'd love to learn more languages. There never seems to be time...

[wannabmama]

I'm glad you got to talk to YH's sisters, it can definitely be hard to talk about but I do also feel better usually when I do. Hope the holiday was nice though!
