@And sorry to hear your tubes are clogged. I hope IVF works for you. Good luck with everything!
My breasts were seriously painful for like 2-3 days. Still tender today. My temps didn’t end up going higher, though. They are pretty average. If I were to symptom spot, the only two things really recordable have been sore boobs and extremely tired. I even took a nap yesterday which I very rarely do. I also could barely touch my food at lunch yesterday. Other than that... nothing.

Hi girls! Hope my US friends had a nice 4th of july. We had family in town so i was very occupied and didn't have a lot of time to check here. It was nice to have a week off from work but now back to the grind! I'm CD11 today and got my first high reading on my OPK this morning. I'm thinking I will O thursday or friday this week but as always not sure. We BD over the weekend and are going to get serious starting tonight. We have this month and next to try before moving to IVF. I'm on 1500 mg of metformin now and the stomach issues are for real. I have been thinking i may drop back down to 1000mg it has been so bad! But i'm trying to tough it out so we shall see.

@And the costs are outrageous. We are estimating here it will be about $30,000 USD. That's for two rounds of IVF, medications, and genetic testing of the embryos. There are some cheaper options, but we are thinking that if we are going to do it at all, we might as well give ourselves the best chance with the multiple rounds and genetic testing. We really don't have a reason to do IVF (tubes not blocked, no semen issues, and my AMH is 3.5) but we really just don't want to keep waiting for it to happen on its own considering my age and also that i've already had 2 losses (presumably due to chromosome issues). My doctor says on my own i will have a 50% chance of miscarriage with each natural pregnancy. I'm trying my best to stay positive that we will still be successful on our own and giving it our best try.

@Momma and Mama hope you girls are doing well. I really hope we get some sticky beans this month.

@lissa Having family in town sounds so nice! Glad you had a great weekend. Sorry your metformin is messing with your stomach. I’ve heard that about metformin. Hopefully lowering your dose will help.
AFM: I feel very normal. Other than the sore boobs and extreme irritability that comes and goes, I only have some fatigue. I took naps both days this weekend. So weird for me! I don’t feel pregnant at all. I’m 9dpo according to FF. My RHR went up higher than it has ever been yesterday, but it came back down this morning a little bit. I’m not holding out high hopes for this month.

Hello ladies busy weekend for me as I work in the food industry and everyone was out enjoying the holiday weekend. But today is cycle day 11 for me. Opks are still reading pretty low. Temp dipped down where it should be so that’s a good sign! Momma I hope this is your month your chart looks nice! Liisa I’m on 1500mg also but it bothers me some days and not at all other days. I figure if I want a baby that badly I can tough thru the side effects. My youngest turns 3 on Friday! I’m really hoping this month a I get my BFP for my my birthday is right around when I can test so that would be a nice birthday gift.

@Mama I sure hope you get a BFP for your birthday. That would be great!!

It would be about a week before my birthday but here’s hoping. I guess it all depends on when I O.

CD 16 .... I am on 1dpo now so I'm in my tww now.. I hope I timed my bd'ing good.. if I did and I get my bfp I'll be due march 29th....

@genevieve Welcome! And good luck! Hope the TWW goes quickly for you.

Girls i know i feel this way every month but i think i'm going to O early. I got my first "high" reading this morning and have had an abundance of ewcm all day today. I will test again when i get home from work to see if its still high or peak. Is it possible to O early and still get pregnant? I know on the surface that sounds like a stupid question, but i'm wondering if the lining has enough time to build up before the egg is released if O happens before CD14?

Hello ladies. I had my 4 week D&C post op appointment today, I got the all clear. Do any of you have any experience TTC after miscarriage? I didn't know if there were any tips. Thank you.
