RRCS: I got drafted to present the pathology section of a presentation at the Department of Pediatrics Grand Rounds today. I'm kinda freaking out. Send me some positive thoughts please!
GTKY: What is your earliest memory? The earliest memory I have that isn't influenced by pictures is of the first time I broke my elbow. I was 4 years old. Got thrown backwards off a see saw and landed on my arm. I vividly remember the woman who ran to my side first. No idea who she was, but she was very nice. My grandfather, an EMT, was convinced that it was just a sprain, no big deal. The next day, my arm was so swollen that I couldn't move it. Definitely broken. I'm pretty sure I gave my grandfather a hard time about being wrong, lol.

Thanks for starting this RajahMD ! And damn, way to start with such a deep question...
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, O
Testing Plans: I've gone back and forth trying to figure out when... Either Friday (11 DPO) or Saturday. I don't want to test too early.
RRCS: I had some brown discharge on 6 DPO and no spotting since then. Yesterday, my salad tasted funky, I gagged and threw it away. I'm tired and stressed, but I think I can chalk that up to a promotion at work, the stress at work, the stress of the 2WW, and having a 20 month old.
GTKY: What is your earliest memory? I think it was probably when I was 3 or 4 years old. My dad had a riding lawn mower and he would attach this homemade wagon to it and drive my cousins and I through the back yard under the "spooky" tree and we'd all scream. God, life was so simple then.
Edited to add: Congratulations RajahMD. Sending you all the good vibes!

Cycle/Month: possible 1st PP cycle
CD/DPO: 13 dpo?
Timing: eh
Testing Plans: yesterday and again today. Results are inconclusive. I feel like I might see something, but I was for sure it'd be more clear today. I just don't know what to think right now.
RRCS: 50% of me thinks I'm KU, the other 50% thinks I'm in for the biggest mind f#ck of my life.
GTKY: What is your earliest memory? It's too early to think to answer this. I may come back later after coffee.

requiressnacks lol I'm pretty sure my phone camera wouldn't be able to show you what I think I MIGHT see. I have to tilt it in the light a certain degree to see anything.

Good luck, RajahMD! You'll do great!!! jcrewgirl, life WAS so simple. We had no idea.
Cycle/Month: 14/1AL
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -2
Testing Plans: Today, BFN. Womp Womp
RRCS: See above. Just ready to get my period and go back to the RE for IUIs.
GTKY: What is your earliest memory?
I fell into a pool when I was 3 and one of my parents (they both fight about who it actually was) saved me. I don't know if I actually remember this happening or it's just one of those stories that's been told to me so many times that I think I remember it. haha.
Cycle/month: 18 CD/DPO: cd26/11 or 9 dpo Timing: good Testing plans: only if necessary on Friday RRCS: just annoyed that my RE office is now saying we have 10 more hoops to jump through before we can start IVF...which is different than what they said before. I'm waiting for a call back to discuss further... GTKY: hmmm, not sure. I do remember being really young and staying at my g-ma's and hearing the ice cream truck. We didn't have one where I grew up and it seemed so exotic to me, ha.

GTKY: I've heard you don't form memory until 2 years old but I have a distinct first memory that I don't know what to make of. I remember being in a crib with one sister in another crib to one side of me, and another sister in another crib on the other side of me. This was in an old house we lived but moved from when I was about 1-1 & 1/2. In my memory we were in the cribs, just "talking" and my mom and dad came in to say goodnight (they were in fancy clothes, my mom in a purple dress with silver tinfoil like stripes) and the babysitter followed them into the room. When I asked my mom about this house/bedroom/that night a few years ago she didn't believe me that I remembered bc I was so little but I drew the whole room out and explained her dress - sure enough she said that's how the room was and that they were going out to dinner for their anniversary with my aunt and uncle. So I've never known what to make of it but that's the first memory I have.
wannabmama, that's so annoying! I thought you guys were ready to go if this cycle is a bust.
Now they're saying I have to have another appt with my RE (why?! We already talked through the paperwork and procedure) and H has to go to urologist, for starters. They said when I was in there we could have started that week! And the urology appt alone will put us off a month (and more $$) plus they want H at the appt with my RE which is a scheduling nightmare. Hurumph.

BabyStandish , I *think* I see a tiny shadow on the wondfo, but definitely not the FRER. FX for you, but I'd wait another 2 days before testing again. Remember, your HCG doubles every 48 hours.

Okay, yeah. Maybe I'll tell dh to hide the tests for me so I don't test tomorrow.
BabyStandish I agree with ironbaby about the doubling hcg, try again in 24-48 hr for sure. As far as the tests I've never used a wondfo so bot sure how to read that but I don't yet see it on the FRER. That said I've had suuuuuuper faint bfp IRL with FRER but when I take a photo it's completely gone but there's def a line in person. Keeping my fx !!!

Presentation update: Went well! My part was only the last 10 minutes thankfully. Although I was so nervous that I started to lose my voice. But I survived! And now I'm treating myself to a frozen mocha.

Cycle/Month: 5s
CD/DPO: 17/1
Timing: -4, -2

RRCS: Temp jump was so high I decided to move over to the TWW. I'm happy we hit -2, I've never got that day before.
GTKY: What is your earliest memory? I'm not sure if they are memories or I am projecting based on pictures. I think my memories start around 3- 4. I remember swim lessons.
Glad to hear that the presentation went well RajahMD. Sorry for the BFN requiressnacks. That sounds so frustrating wannabmama, I hope you can get some answers when they call. kleigh, that is a crazy early memory, wow!

GTKY: What is your earliest memory? I was just talking about this with my mom the other day. I think it was when my grandma took me on a train from Southern CA to see my aunt and uncle in Northern CA. I remember getting so car sick, lol.

I remember my parents putting me to bed, my bed was in a corner, and I was wearing a red and white striped Tshirt.
