Status: TTC#2


What are you doing this month? Femara and Ovidrel with TI


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 9, CD4


What is your mood? Hopeful but trying to remain realistic. Medication is not an instant miracle cure for trouble TTC.


QOTW: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? A tent (pale skin, need shelter!), a fishing pole, and a very large book of short stories.

Good luck sleepymonkey !

Status: CD 2, on the bench for hopefully the last month


What are you doing this month? Still working on getting my thyroid under control. I had it tested last week and the numbers went up instead of down, but I was also taking my medication wrong. FX my numbers will be better when I retest in 2 weeks!


Where are you at in your journey? About 9 cycles TFAS. I've lost count at this point.


What is your mood? I was really disappointed last week with my numbers but hopefully I'll see progress this next time. Just willing time to go quickly in the meantime!


QOTW: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? Something comfortable to sleep on, a book on how to survive in the wild, and wine!

What are you doing this month? Au natural

Where are you at in your journey? Somewhere between 2 and 5 dpo

What is your mood? Just going with the flow; no hopes up anymore for anything unassisted working.


QOTW: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? I'd most want H, my puppies, and my horse...technically four things (2 dogs) but I make the rules on this island. (We also get weekly food deliveries via helicopter and there's a beautiful abandoned house with running water.)

Status: TTC #3


What are you doing this month? half-assed BBT and sex


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle #6. I'm somewhere between 9 and 12 DPO, I think, but I have a feeling I really am 12DPO and AF will be arriving tomorrow. I should know when I temp in the morning.


What is your mood? Eh. I'm bummed that this hasn't happened yet and I'm unhappy at work, so my mood could be better.


QOTW: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? My Kindle, WiFi, and a power source.

[wannabmama]

ladystrat I'm swimming over to your island.

Thanks for posting jwinct.

Status: TFAS

What are you doing this month? PNV, BBT, CM, FX

Where are you in your journey? Cycle 5AL, 3 DPO (unless FF changes its mind again tomorrow)

What's your mood? OK. Will see what happens this cycle then make sun appointment with my ON GUN to discuss next steps. Next month marks 1 year since we started TFAS and I honestly never expected to be where we are...

QOTW: My desert island would look like that boat (with a crew, chef, bartender etc) with DH and LO

[beachdreamer]

I hope there's room for me on ladystrat's island too!

Status: TTC #2

What are you doing this month? PNV, OPK, Pom juice, sex, Pre-seed

Where are you at in your journey? CD 7, WTO, Cycle 5 actually trying

What is your mood? Doing alright so far this week.

QOTW: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? Gee, tough one. My family (can DH and DS count as 1 that way??), fresh/clean water, sunglasses.

I'm mobile, so sorry for the lack of tagging/formatting.

1. TTC #2

2,/3. I was prepping for FET of last normal embryo but will probably postpone that because a few of my test results were abnormal (glucose, vitamin D, and T4 cells). My RE's office doesn't think it's necessary because they're only slightly off, but I think it only makes sense, after m/cing 2 normal embryos for no obvious reason, to get things as close to perfect as possible before sacrificing my last one. So now I'm taking prescription vitamin d supplements, adding carbs and happiness to my ever growing list of banned substances, meeting with the RE to beg for metformin, and freaking out about pre-diabetes.

4. Irritable. The PA threatened that this would set me back about 3 months. I'm not sure if that's true.

QOTW: tablet with Internet access and power source (I don't know how--magic, maybe); DD and DH; sustainable food/water (magic again). I guess. How long are we stranded?

[wannabmama]

Sorry for the delay (hope it's not the three months!) tiresiastheblond and I hope the changes help!

[Tiger]

tiresiastheblond - Ugh, 3 months? That sucks.
ladystrat - +87 to being able to come to your island!

What are you doing this month?
NTNP


Where are you at in your journey?
Cycle 45? / CD 14


What is your mood?
So nervous for our IVF cycle next month


QOTW: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you?
Sunblock, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and DH.

[summergirl1211]

So sorry for the delays tiresiastheblond. I hope everything gets straightened out quickly for you!
ladystrat, I'm joining as well! So much for the "deserted" island!
wannabmama, I forget. Are you working with a RE on a plan too?
Tiger, good luck this cycle! Maybe you won't even need IVF!

[wannabmama]

summergirl1211 we did two failed IUIs with clomid; RE says we can try with injectables (I didn't respond to clomid) bc H's counts are better and it might give her some info for meds for IVF (if needed), or we can go right to IVF. We are on the fence...and need to decide in the next week.

I thought you had done some medicated cycles but couldn't remember. GL in your decision!

Sorry for the delays tiresiastheblond. I think it's important you're comfortable you're giving this your best shot, but I hope it's a shorter wait for you.
