Well, it's CD1 again. Rats! The Good thing is that this has been a very balanced cycle, with my moods staying more level and such. Plus, my long follicular phase is shortening to a more standard length, and my luteal phase is a perfect 14 days, with no spotting, and my temp stayed above the coverline until this morning when I woke up with AF having arrived (though it had started trending downwards a few days ago!) There are a lot of positives so I'm focusing on those, and now I can also enjoy some nice wine on Sunday when we celebrate my birthday properly. DH and I are going out to eat and my in laws will watch our DS for us. Yay! Baking my birthday cake today. A light vanilla cake, filled with lemon curd and fluffy white boiled frosting, and frosted with more boiled frosting, then covered in shredded coconut. Ooooh yeaaaah!

@E yum happy birthday in advance. Enjoy. Love your positive mind

@Flamingo fingers crossed that you caught the egg . I don t ultrasound everyday when they tell me.

AFM not much. Follicles are not growing. More Letrozole starting tonight. Fingers crossed

Lalou you don’t understand how much I’m rooting for you this cycle!! All my positive energy is on you!!

Flamingo hopefully you caught that egg even without opks confirmation about O day!! It needs only one little swimmer

E happy birthday girl!! Enjoy your day and hopefully this cycle will be a lucky one!!!

AFM not much! AF is gone and I’m now waiting for O! I’m really tired and I don’t know if I’m even on the mood to try this cycle... I haven’t bought opks and I stopped taking my temps.. maybe I’ll change in a few days!!

Hey guys I got two positives late evening of 11dpo then multiple negatives the next morning 12dpo wit fmu??! This has never happened even wit my chemical and miscarriages...any ideas?

@Kira it's still super early, and some women never have good luck with fmu. Try again in the evening on a hold and see what you get! Fingers crossed for you!

Just stopping by to check on my friends and say hi!
@Lalou and Alex I've been thinking of you two. I log in and check for updates every once in a while even if I don't post but I am still sending positive vibes and praying that you both get good news soon. Sending vitual hugs to both of you!
@Shay Congrats! So happy for you! Hope you are feeling well so far
I know it's been a while but we've been busy getting ready for our move. It's now been more than 6 months since my second miscarriage and so we are cleared to start trying again. I had a routine OBGYN visit last week and she ordered some blood test just to make sure there are no hormonal issues we don't know about and it all came back normal. My cycles have been pretty regular so we've been debating what to do but we've decided to wait until we're settled in England before we try again. The next few months are going to be so busy with part-time school, and getting ready to PCS. I don't want to be in my first trimester, exhausted and stressed out because I am worried the risk of having another loss would be higher in that situation and I don't think I can go through it all again a third time! So I guess it is going to be at least another 4 months before we start TTC again. As much as I enjoyed having such wonderful ladies to share this journey with last year, I really hope none of you are still around when I start trying again and that you are all sending me pics of your nice bumps by then!

awww@Alex thank you so much for rooting for me. This cycle just feels like forever. I just finished my 2nd round of Femara 7.5mg yesterday, not much cramps this time, just heavy feeling. Cervix is extremely soft and cm is watery creamy. My boobs are huge and my hormones are making me hungrier. Have appt on Saturday to check follicles size again. DH and I will try bd some more. Trying not to stress to much.

@agatch so sweet to hear from u too. Praying for u as well.

Fingers crossed everyone.

Here I am again. 1 dpIUI. This was my 4th IUI and my 2nd time using the ovidrel shot. All day today I’ve been having random hot flashes. I know it is a common side effect, but that doesn’t make it less annoying. I’m really hoping this IUI takes this time. If not, I think dh and I will be taking a break. It’s just been such an emotional rollercoaster.

I wish everyone good luck this time around!!!

Agatch I was waiting to see when you’ll be back babe! So glad to see you!! Moving is always so stressful and I totally understand you not wanting to go through this while pregnant! I think I’m not going anywhere soon even tho I hope for the opposite but I’ll gladly be with you again when you come back!! Looking forward to hear from you again!!!

Lalou trying to stay relaxed is so hard while ttc I know! I hope you and hubby will enjoy this time tho!! Having everything crossed that you’ll catch this diva egg this time lol

Rak I really hope this is your cycle girl! It must be such a hard road for you!! I’ve never been in your situation but I can imagine it must be twice harder than just trying on your own!! Sending all my positive thoughts your way!!!!

AFM I’m on my fertile days and I’m taking it really slow. We BDing whenever we like and tbh things are pretty stressful around here. Corona virus made us close our dance studio for two weeks on government’s order and also cancel 3 of our dance events for now... this for us is a true financial crisis along with the stress of the virus. We are mostly staying home and hubby is so so stressed.. his ocd is on its worse and I’m trying to keep him calm!! I hope you and your families are safe!!!

@Alex - I'm sorry to hear about your studio being closed. I hope all these preventative closing really help slow the spread of the virus. Where I live we are kind of remote from the rest of the US so things haven't really been shut down yet. There's lots of talk about it though.

@Lalou- I hope Saturday has some good news on your follies!

I'm just waiting right now. Don't know when I ovulated but I'm CD 25 now. I had a 33 day long cycle last time so I'm thinking I'll wait and test until at least CD 30. I'm not feeling what I felt when I got my first BFP so not super positive we caught the egg. Though, who knows if I'll feel the same symptoms the second time around. I'm just assuming I will!
