I'm not sure if anyone decided to leave but I'm KOKO as usual. What's new?

[Martinis&Medicine]

I'm still just trying to figure my cycles out. I wish I could temp but little man refuses to sleep well enough for that!
I had what I thought was my period last week but it ended up only being a day of spotting 6 weeks after when my period would have been due (if everything was back to normal).
I'm testing tomorrow morning just for peace of mind. Hubby is holding out hope, don't know that I am so much.

OT: what do you all do for activities day to day? C gets bored easily and the days we don't get out of the house always end up being bad days because he's under stimulated.

[milkeyway]

I'm here for now;)
I'm on CD 42. My last few cycles have been in the high 30s so I may test soon just to be sure I'm not KU but I have no reason to think I am. I'm just not sure why I'm even bothering trying on our own, it feels so pointless. But anyways that's where we're at.

[o2girl]

I don't have much.... except.....

My AMH was apparently AMAZING for anyone, let alone someone my age (said the nurse). Sadly, I have lots and lots of eggs..... just a funky ute. Why they checked my AMH for an FET? I have zero fucking clue. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ugh to the annovulatory bleeding!

As for your OT:

Do you have pets? W loves to go outside to play with her chickens and dogs.
Also, it is warm enough for water play? I am going to get a small kiddy pool for W to splash in. Also, breaking up the day with walks, is super helpful!

[Martinis&Medicine]

o2girl the bleeding is so annoying! I know I'm ovulating, or at least have twice. Dang postpartum cycles + breastfeeding.

We have a dog but she's been an ass lately. She's really bad with C.

It should be warm enough for water in the next few weeks! I will have to pick up a little pool

I am ovulating but spotting a ton in between cycles. I just dropped to one breastfeeding sessions hoping stuff regulates soon. Spotting sucks so bad!

[Martinis&Medicine]

Test was negative (of course). Womp womp

[DrHooch]

Dammit, I am slow. Let me try this again in the actual most recent thread...

Can I join, too westiemom?

I stopped taking BCP January 5 but didn't get a period until February, so I started weaning to see if it would help (N was 15 months at the time). Completely weaned in March and have tried for several cycles since then with no luck. Now that my semester is over we are trying to figure out when we should start with the RE again (not covered by insurance, hence the hesitance).

I was so hoping that last time was the thyroid issues, or something fixed by the HSG, since we got pregnant right.after the HSG and me starting thyroid meds. It's not looking good for that, though.

Welcome! We are in a very similar boat. I'm almost weaned and hoping things regulate because I hate to return to the RE.

Good luck!!

[dp21]

Martinis&Medicine, ugh I hate wonky spotting/periods that are confusing!

milkeyway, can't hurt lol

o2girl, that is weird they checked your AMH. I know my clinic likes labs to be no more than a year old, maybe you are approaching that and you'll see where you stand. But obviously no issue. I'm DOR so I like to keep track of mine.

DrHooch, are you a student or teacher? Welcome to the check-in!!

AFM, I should start cycling meds this Friday. My life has been really crazy, sorry I'm late, just got home from vacation in NYC today. Trying to get my life in order, studying for boards, doing interviews, IVF, work, it is just not slowing down as much as I thought it would after graduation.

[westiemom]

I forgot my own update! Cd 7 here. Nothing too exciting to share. I have dropped down to 1 breastfeeding session and am hoping things regulate this month! These short luteal phases are depressing!

[nikiswimr]

Hi ladies!

Martinis&Medicine sorry about the BFN

milkeyway yeah my non medicated cycles are also pointless but yours sound at least sort of regular? Have you been temping?

o2girl hooray for lots of eggs, boo to the crappy ute. I also have a high AMH but if didn't translate into embryos on my last fresh cycle, sigh

DrHooch hi! I feel you on the not covered by insurance sitch

dp21 I start stims Saturday so we should be on a very similar schedule

westiemom thanks for the check-in! I hope your LP gets its act together!

[nikiswimr]

AFM, baseline tomorrow, stims start Saturday if things look good. Doing an antagonist protocol. I am worried though because I just started bleeding again yesterday on BCP. WTF?

[DrHooch]

westiemom, thanks, you too! When I first went off bc I think he was still nursing 4-5 times per day. Then we slowly started cutting down. I was down to maybe twice per day when I finally got my period. We went to Iceland sans baby in March for a week and that's when we stopped because I dried up. My luteal phase is still short, but it was the first time around, too, so who knows.

dp21, teacher. Thanks! Sometimes I think it is actually more stressful from this side, though.

nikiswimr, ugh sorry to hear your insurance sucks too. GL! I hope the bleeding doesn't screw things up.

[westiemom]

nikiswimr I'm sorry for the bleeding! What a pain! I hope that doesn't mess things up.

[milkeyway]

nikiswimr,um WTF bleeding? whats doc say about that?

As for me I'm not temping. Maybe I should try. I honestly never fully did try temping because I came off BCP and right away had crazy long cycles and started the journey for treatment. As a PCOSer I'm wondering if it would even work? OPK never worked great for me either. Just got AF so 44day cycle. I mean these are short cycles compared with before M but they're still longer then what is considered a typical woman's cycle. I had a OPP hit me really hard this week and it's making me crazy thinking about continuing on our own or going for treatment and when to do so.

That's happened to me on bcp before, the hormone fluctuation can cause it

[katelm]

No real updates at the moment. My 10 month old daughter has weaned slightly as in she's probably taking closer to 20-23oz in a day now rather than 30-35. Still no period back or ovulation as far as I can tell. I'm not on birth control. At the moment NTNP until FET

[nikiswimr]

So everything looked good on my baseline and with my E2, so BCP were just f*cking with me per usual. Saturday it begins.

Hi westiemom! Can I join?

I've been away for quite a while but I return to find that all hell broke loose here? I can't even figure out why...I see talk about a post but I can't find it. Whatever, I'm just sorry people are leaving.

My Emma is almost 11 months (how did that happen??) and we're about to jump into an FET of our only embryo. I've been working on losing some weight, 20 lbs so far, woohoo. Now just waiting for CD1 so we can get started on our prelim testing...HSG, endo biopsy, and do a trial transfer all in June. FET in July!

I'm excited you are joining and can't believe Emma is 11 months already!

So exciting! My daughter is 10 months and I'm also working on losing some weight. Hoping to do a FET in a few months as well!

[scrang92]

westiemom, I know, time has just flown by! She started walking last week and is morphing into a toddler.
