R/R/CS: Temp spike this morning and CM gas dried up like whoa, so I'm thinking (hoping) that yesterday was O. Sex this morning just in case it wasn't, but if so and I O any later than Thursday this cycle will be a bust.
What are you doing to get knocked up?: RE appt was today - see below.
R/R/CS: So, just got back from the RE. She was very nice, and MH and I both feel comfortable with her. She said all of my stuff is looking good/normal, but I will need to have some routine bloodwork, vag u/s, and HSG before our next appointment, just to check to make sure everything is working the way it should. MH will have bloodwork and SA, and based on that may get referred to a urologist (she said he might want to do that anyway given his low T diagnosis, but since that's over a year old...)
Literally the moment I get to my office after the appt, CD 1 hits. Because of course it would. I thought I'd honestly be more upset, but I just kinda feel oddly relieved that we are going to get somewhere. The doctor said that, unless these tests reveal something (like with MHs sperm), she's pretty confident about our chances. Maybe they say that to everyone, but it was still comforting to hear.

Sorry for cd1, singingsea. I still owe you your Ermahgerd cross stitch, which has been sitting in my house waiting for my lazy ass to send it. I promise to get it in the mail this week!!!
Thanks, youdontsay - I totally forgot about Breakfast at Tiffany's!!! Shame on me, I love it so much my mom and bridsmaids made it the theme of my bridal shower!

No worries lady! I forgot myself. I appreciate you taking the time to make it

Glad you are on the path to getting some answers! When is your next appointment?
shadesofgold: Most likely at the end of the month/beginning of June, to give us time to get tests done and the results to come back. I'll schedule it once I know MH has made his appointments. Biggest coincidence ever that our appt happened to fall on CD1... Looks like I'll be having that u/s sometime between now and Thursday...
ETA for tagging since apparently I didn't hit quote like I meant to...
I'm only on CD6, so I'm not doing anything to get pregnant until I get closer to O on CD19/20, BUT:
Do you guys use Wondfo OPKs? We haven't used OPKs yet - just temping/CM, but I wanna give them a try this cycle to see if I'm not timing sex around my LH surge properly.
ironbaby, DH used to travel *a lot* for work, and it was hard on us. He also wasn't made aware that travel would be part of his work responsibilities, so it came as a complete shock to us. We weren't TTC at the time, but it still just sucked to be apart so much. Sorry YH is traveling a lot right now. I hope it's just temporary and doesn't become a regular thing.
Cycle/Month: 6/7 (2AL)
CD: 13
What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex. That's it. No BBT, No OPK, Nothing. I needed to take a month off and just be a normal person. I went a little overboard with my last cycle (first AL), so it was time to step back.
R/R/CS: Feeling relaxed and nonchalant about this cycle. I'm thankful for that.
GTKY: What is your favorite old movie (pre-1980)? White Christmas

Also, my favorite old movie is The Graduate, but I also love Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and so many others!
This is what I am using and I have seen one positive opk but I can usually tell when they fade in and out. Just make sure you are using a reputable seller. I might switch to digital after we get into double digits.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Temping, charting CM, FF, OPKs, sex EOD, lots of water,
R/R/CS: finally stopped spotting so time to POAS every day. I start way too soon but I can't help it. I am also proud of my temps. The are looking normal so far instead of all over the place. Maybe I have got into the routine and actually sleeping better instead of stressing about it. The first month, I feel like I tossed and turned too much to get accurate temp.
GTKY: What is your favorite old movie (pre-1980)? I'm not sure if this was pre-80 but I was in love with ET when I was really little. Weird I know. Don't judge

R/R/Cs: my OPKs are still stark white. My cycle is so screwed up from being sick. I only had a 9 day LP last cycle and it looks like I will O late this cycle. We have our first RE appointment Thursday. I'm really nervous and anxious about it. I just have no idea what to expect.
GTKY: I'm gonna have to go with the wizard of oz.
So many hugs to you Erica. I know every RE is different but from what I've gathered, it's a lot of history gathering and usually an TV ultrasound. Fx for some easy to work with answers for you!
Hugs mustloveerica! My first RE appointment was spent telling the doctor what we had tried, how my cycles tend to go, health history, etc. Then we did a transvaginal ultrasound to check out my ute and ovaries and follicles. Then we made a plan for what tests to move forward with and when. Good luck!!
