hey yall! 

this is CD 7 for me... thanks to provera :) waiting on friday morning to have my HSG test done- keeping my FX for an all clear! if everything looks good, we will be starting clomid next go-around.

what's pissing me off is that my DH is out of town for work, and i really wish he was back home already!

favorite holiday dish to make is green bean casserole- it's so easy! and favorite to eat would be my MIL's chicken dressing. sooo yummy.

1. Cycle/month: 3/11

2. CD: 4

3. Medicated? Yes. 750mg of Met. I just started this and I'm hoping its the reason for my recent AF!

4. What are you doing this cycle? We are actually still TTA but I think this cycle will be huge. If it is a 'normal' 100+ day cycle I'm going to be ticked but maybe, just maybe it will be normal.

5. What's pissing you off?!? Not much today. I got over the no AF since MAY business earlier this week and am kind of starting to taper now. It was brutal. 

6. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday dish to either make/eat?? umm, everything? cookies cookies cookies! and wine, too!

Hi ladies...I hope it's okay if I join you - this is my first time waiting to do something!!

1. Cycle/month: 3/4

2. CD: 36

3. Medicated? No

4. What are you doing this cycle?

I was trying to relax a bit and "go with the flow" by not temping this month, since I was very stressed out last cycle. Well, that was a big mistake. For a long while, my PP cycles after having DD were 28-29 days. Then last cycle was 31 days, and this one is still ongoing. I know that it's normal to have a wonky cycle even if you are usually "regular", but I am so confused! This has never happened to me before. EVen after coming off BCP before we conceived DD, my cycle came back and were normal right away.  I've taken about 5 HPTs since Friday, and they are all BFNs. I also had a UTI and took antibiotics for it earlier in my cycle (right around est. FW) so I am wondering if that possibly threw things off.

5. What's pissing you off?!?

I'm just SO mad at myself for not temping. I actually started temping again yesterday morning just to see, and my temp yesterday and today were both pretty low to the point that I don't believe I ovulated yet. Of course, that's just a guess, temping 35 days in. Of course I am all out of OPKs so I can't check that way, but I just ordered more so I guess all I can do is keep on temping till they come in. 

6. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday dish to either make/eat??

I love making (and eating) holiday cookies! Some favorites are my oatmeal white chocolate cranberry cookies, and Nutella cookies - a new recipe I discovered last year.

Extra congrats to you lady! I think you're the first graduate of WTDS I've seen since I joined TB lol

Hey weans! I hope all is well :) Any news on your DH's tests?

 

1. Cycle/month  4 / 10

2. CD 154

3. Medicated? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... still no.

4. What are you doing this cycle?   trying to break a record or something.

5. What's pissing you off?!? DH keeps nagging me to take the provera, but I don't want to... I feel like when a kid is so tired but they wont go to sleep, and the parents try to force them to sleep lol

6. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday dish to either make/eat??  I looooove everything! I used to cook the whole Christmas dinner at my dad's house before I got married, but now I'm spending it with DH's family and they like to cook everything with everyone and I'm not looking forward to that.

nlscroggin- GL on your HSG!  I'm curious about your MIL's chicken dressing.  Is this a marinade? 


madasm- Here's hoping the metformin does the trick!  100+ day cycles seriously blow :/ I second your wine love, yum!


swirl- hello! Welcome to the thread :) Infection can definitely throw off your cycle.  You may have ovulated later, or you may have an annovulatory cycle.  Also, I love Nutella... so good it's just wrong!

Hi JonBon!!  I think she is the first to graduate!  This is very exciting news! :)

Cooking everything with everyone seems a little stressful.  What's that saying about too many cooks in the kitchen??  

Thank you for asking about the bloodwork.  It's pretty annoying.  He had the blood drawn at the hospital affiliated with his work & they were to send the results to the urologist's office (different hospital).  The urologist office called Friday to inform us they have some of the data, but they are missing some of the results.  

So, we still don't have our answer yet.  MH is going to ask for the results to be printed & we can hand deliver the results.  That's healthcare here for you.  I work in healthcare & I get how these things happen.  It still makes me want to scream.

On top of that, we have decided we want to sell our current house (it's a gorgeous modern townhouse) and purchase a more traditional home in a suburb of Cleveland.  This whole process has been pretty overwhelming already.  We found 2 homes we loved & both have had offers placed & accepted before we had any chance to try.

 Thanks for making me feel welcome! I am really starting to think it's due to having the UTI...that's the only thing different about this cycle

 Good luck to everyone!

Swirl - as PP said, in UTI and antibiotics can delay O, so you might not be out... have you been taking OPKs? Maybe you can still catch your surge.


Weans - It sucks that you're having such troubles just getting the results! I hope you get them soon and can begin to move forward. And buying a house is overwhelming! I hope you find the one for you soon and you have a shot at buying it :)

1. Cycle/month - Cycle 2 / month 2

2. CD - *quickly opens FF app* ...CD6

3. Medicated? Nothing since self medicating with wine last Sunday lol

4. What are you doing this cycle?  Charting CM, trying to temp but only achieved 1 / 3 days...

5. What's pissing you off?!? I'm feeling grateful today which is very unlike me. Pretty laid back and chilled today. Friend's daughter just got diagnosed with inoperable brain tumor and so that really threw me for a loop with my usual selfish thoughts and feelings.

6. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday dish to either make/eat?? Yule log!! And I make cheese and pineapple for every holiday...not a traditional holiday dish but it's sooooooooooooooooo good :)

I had been using them (and did get a few almost, really close positives over a couple days during my FW), but then they went completely negative. I had thought I just missed my surge, but realize now that I probably I geared up and never actually O'd. I'm all out now and just ordered more today. I will keep temping and get back to my 2-3 day schedule with DH....thanks for the insight!

I've never noticed this thread before! 

1. Cycle 4/ Month 9

2. CD50

3. Once AF shows up I will start my first round of clomid.

4. Clomped with monitoring, ovidrel trigger and TI

5. I'm pissed that AF hasn't shown up yet. I got a calll last week that my progesterone was elevated so AF should be on the way but still...nothing. So frustrating.

6. I love latkes! I'm having a latke party on Sunday! I can't wait!

1. Cycle/month: 3/3

2. CD: 9

3. Medicated? Nope

4. What are you doing this cycle? OPKs, temping, CM check, Preseed, raspberry leaf tea, sex ED during FW, trying to stay cool, calm & collected

5. What's pissing you off?!? Just a bunch of things that cannot be changed and are pointless to be pissed about.

6. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday dish to either make/eat?? Anything sweet!

1. Cycle/Month: Trying to lose count (for my own sanity) around 33 cycles now

2. CD 12

3. Medicated? Nope - took a cycle off of clomid, after the first two were nasty. Hopefully convincing my doc to do an IUI next month, medicated. Praying the timing works out so that we can do it around Jan. 7.

4. What are you doing this cycle? Acupuncture, pre-seed, reiki, and whatever else I can without medication as a last-ditch effort before IUI.

5. What's pissing you off?  I have to go away for work days 13/14 (but I don't usually O til 16 or 17). Worried I might miss the sweet spot :(

6. QOTW: My Mom makes a soft toffee that's too die for. And a lady at work makes homemade score bars that I eat until I'm sick, lol.

Trying to Conceive Ticker
27 yrs, healthy & TTC since April 2010
*unexplained infertility*
Hubby: SA normal (aside from slightly lower motility)
Progesterone: normal
Ovulation: normal
TV Ultrasound: normal
HSG: normal
Day 3 FSH: normal

But 2.5 years and still no baby.....

On our third and final cycle of clomid (days 3-7 - 50mg). On a waiting list for IUI. Wishing and hoping for a miracle in the meantime.

Ooh, I can participate here!  I am waiting for something, but I have no idea what it is.  I haven't had a period since I gave birth in April.  

1. Cycle/month - 1/8

2. CD - 200-something

3. Medicated? - no

4. What are you doing this cycle? - flucking with purpose 

5. What's pissing you off?!? - That dirty whore AF is nowhere to be seen.  I have many pee sticks to use and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.  

6. QOTW: What's your favorite holiday dish to either make/eat?? - All desserts, creme brulee the most of all.
