TTC check in 8/15

[JustJudy]

What's up this week?

[JustJudy]

I'm just waiting for next cycle for our mock transfer. So I'll be pretty boring for a while.

[rosesquared]

JustJudy Lol not boring! Also what will a mock transfer cycle entail? I did kind of a mock iui but don't know what would go into a mock transfer.

I feel like a bit of a broken record at this point fussing about my TWW lol. On the bright side the only side effect from the progesterone so far has been fatigue. I definitely feel more drained and tired with little motivation to get done the stuff I need to do.

Is anyone else in here besides me and JustJudy?

rosesquared, My doc does an entire two weeks of Progesterone shots and estrogen with monitoring, then does an SHG and takes a endometrial sample to analyze how the meds affect it. He will tweak dosage based on those results for the actual FET.

The TWW is the worst! When are you testing?

calsurb How are things with you both?

We got a BFN last Monday so we'll try again for try #3 in a week or so. DW has a herniated disc so she's got a double injection steroid procedure on Wednesday. Our sex life is pretty quiet between all of this!!

JustJudy wow that's an amazing mock transfer in terms of getting great information! The thing that sucked about our mock iui is that it let us know things might not be working right but really gave very little other insight.

Beta on Wednesday the 24!! Will probably do a hpt that morning too before we go. No way would I be able to function that day waiting for a call!! They key is going to be seeing whether I can hold off from a hpt earlier. I would just hate for a false positive!

calsurb awww I'm sorry! I have back issues too and it totally sucks! I hope your wife feels better soon!

Thanks for that. She's in good spirits and is hopeful for our 3rd insem. I got pregnant our my 3rd try so we're hoping for that BFP. The steroid stuff will help her comfort level! Here's us!

Sorry for the BFN, FX that threw is your lucky number!

And give your wife my sympathies for the upcoming shots. I had one in my shoulder in college and passed out lol. When I herniated my disk soon after I opted for the oral steroids. But it's so worth it in the end. The back pain was excruciating and I don't wish it on anyone.

We went to re so... I guess that means we are officially ttc#2. Not sure if we will wait an extra month or go in sept. Trying to remember everything from last time.... One thing I can't remember is what's the point of watching for ewcm/ cm? I know for re its all in the blood/sono but we watched "regular" signs last time as well.

Exciting 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)! Welcome to the group.

CM changes will tell you when you may be about to ovulate. It's a really good secondary sign. EWCM means ovulation is imminent. If you do a non medicated cycle it's important to follow, but when you start adding in meds I'm pretty sure it can affect all your secondary signs. It did for me at least.

Last time we did natural (just an ovidrel shot) so that's the initial plan for this time. It's gonna come up fast! September may end up starting Labor Day which is funny bc our 1st time we only had 1 iui instead of back to back due to Memorial Day holiday. Glad they are open all the time ! But it may mean we have to go to a further office
