Hope everyone had a great weekend! Felt like I did laundry all weekend long lol.
Just one more day till cross hairs Tb! So you'll start the red pills tomorrow? I'm going to get a bunch of white ones while in Prague. While still gross, it's a far more acceptable color than red
Dream, I so hope you get a positive this weekend. Wouldn't that be amazing, right around the 12-month mark?
AFM, I'll start testing Thursday (10 DPO) and will stop taking progesterone if it's still negative by 12 DPO. Seems fair, right?

Sounds fair to me Sunny. FX as always.
4dpo today.....just waiting.
I've been reading a lot (cause thats what we do during the TWW right?) and I'm seeing a lot about keeping a 'warm' uterus to help with implantation. (assuming sperm met egg) One way i'm seeing to do this is by keeping warm feet. So wearing thick socks and/or a warming blanket or pad on your feet when you can.
Is this nuts? Honestly I'll do anything...lol

HAHA Dream I don't think that is crazy at all. Sometimes we have to try anything to get things to work.
I go back to the Dr weds to get my "all clear". I am so ready for it. Since January things have been completely out of whack for hubby and me. Ready to get back to normal.
I hope everyone else is doing okay. I try to check in and see how everyone is doing.
Happy Monday!

I didn’t ovulate yet. My temps are all very low. I also ran out of opks so I won’t test anymore until Wednesday. Just BDing every other day until I see a temp rise.
Dream I’m all about reading lol I do the same I layer on my socks (always such cold feet!)
Sarah I hope they give you the go ahead
Doctors appointment is coming up in an hour. I’ll keep you posted!

So, we waited in the exam room for 45 minutes...
OB comes in and says pretty nonchalantly “sorry about your miscarriages” and then said that she’s not going to have us do the miscarriage workup because it sounds like an implantation/ egg quality issue and would rather us go see an RE. And that was it. Literally about 45 seconds. Thankfully she said she wasn’t going to charge me for the appointment.. but why couldn’t she email or call me for that? My DH has to take time off work to be there. Ugh just so frustrating. Then she concluded with a big shiny smile “but I’ll be happy to see you when you’re pregnant!” Annoying. I’m getting a new OB. I already wasn’t thrilled with her.

Ahhh come on!!!! That's just horrible. Why didn't she let you know before your actual appointment (or prevented you from setting it up in the first place if she felt she wasn't the right person for the consult). I don't get it. Why not just do the workup anyway to rule things out?! Why assume it must be an egg or implantation issue? And what does the workup check if it's not to find out if there are implantation issues? Very frustrating, sorry they wasted your time.

Exactly my thoughts! Even if you changed your mind after the fact, call me and tell me! I even said “are you sure we shouldn’t do the tests anyway?” And she said “the RE might do them but I’d rather you talk to them.” Um.. ok? Then why did you bother telling me to come in for them?! Waste.of.time. I emailed the NP I have been using for the medicated cycles and asked her to call me this week. I am going to officially ask her about if they will work with Prague and do my early ultrasounds and write the prescriptions I need until I travel. I’m really nervous...
Sunny- how did you approach the prescription stuff with your doctor? Did they act like you were nuts? Lol I have it in my brain that they would be like that
idk why?

SarahTTC3 - Good Luck with your appointment tomorrow. FX everything goes perfectly and your're cleared to start sending in the troops again.
TB - I'm sorry, I'm not liking this trend you seem to be having. Positives then not O'ing. Makes me very frustrated for you. Sigh. I hope you O soon or just end the cycle to start fresh. WT actual F with that appointment. Wow. Some of these docs just really don't get it. It's like they're completely blind to what we're actually going through day to day. What a waste of your and your DH time. Grrr. When she said she'll be happy to see you when you're pregnant you should have told her "yeah, well I'll be happy to see you never again". heehee. Okay I'm done ranting.
AFM - CD21/5DPO. w.a.i.t.i.n.g. Temp on the rise, that's good. feeling a little light headed all morning. Had to hydrate twice as my as I usually do in my morning workout. Way too early to have anything to do with possible pregnancy, so assuming it's cause i skipped dinner last night, lol.

Dream, hahaha I love the suggestion ("yeah, well I'll be happy to see you never again"). I always imagine myself saying things like that, but then I just end up saying, "Thanks, hope to see you too" or something like that lol.
About the warm socks stuff, yeah a lot of women who undergo IVF do that too. There's no evidence it actually does something for implantation, but if it makes you (and your feet) more comfortable, why not I'm looking at all kinds of stuff people do to increase their chances of success for my blog and just published something about eating McDonald's french fries after IVF transfer. It sounds crazy but there are soooo many women eating fries after transfer (and even after BD lol!) because of a misunderstanding that had something to do with "preventing" OHSS. It sort of turned into a tradition. Love seeing things like that!
Your chart is looking good
Tb, I didn't ask my OB to rewrite the prescriptions as I got the meds online/at the clinic. I did ask for a referral for the ultrasounds and they were absolutely fine with it. They charged me >$500 after insurance so I went with one of those imaging clinics that sends the results over to my OB, who then uploads it to my patient portal, so I can download it and send it to the clinic. Lol. Sounds more complicated than it actually was
I'm sure they'll be okay with helping you out.
Sarah, best of luck tomorrow! Hope you get the all clear
Steph, Amber, how are you doing?

Sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience with your doctor yesterday, TB. Good luck with sorting out all the prescription stuff - overseas healthcare systems always seem so complicated to us Brits!
Sunny and Dream fingers crossed for you both that this is your month
Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow, Sarah.
AFM, we had our follow up yesterday with the clinic. Everything looks good on the ultrasound so that's a relief. It was a little awkward at one stage because the doctor (understandably) assumed that hubby and I would be jumping straight back into another FET, so we eventually had to put her straight and tell her we would be taking a break. Which she thought meant about 6 months until my husband said "no, two years". It's a great clinic but I am glad we don't have to keep going back there all the time now, all became a bit draining.
In brighter news I am on leave tomorrow and Thursday which gives me a lovely 6 day weekend! So thrilled!

Tb- I can't believe your doctor. What a waste of your time. Glad you will not be going back to her! How terribly frustrating! Hope you get a temp rise soon!
Sunny and dream- how fun to be in the TWW together! Fingers x'd for you both!
Steph- how lovely to have a 6 day weekend! I think you're on to something with the 6 day weekends becoming the norm
CT- how are you doing, would love to hear an update!
Sarah- let us know how your appointment goes!
Afm, my 20 week scan is scheduled for May 4th. It feels like a long time but I'm sure it will go by fast. I can't even believe I'm 16 weeks tomorrow!

Happy 16 weeks Amber! A can of coke, that's getting pretty big. Do you have a little bump yet? Are you going to find out the gender at your May 4th scan?
Sarah - please do let us know how things go today.
So the strangest thing keeps happening guys. I go to sleep, and then I wake up and I'm only 1 more DPO then I was yesterday. LOL Why?!
CD22/6DPO W.A.I.T.I.N.G.
I'm finding myself more impatient than usual this TWW. Still keeping with my workouts and meal prep but its been 7 or 8 weeks now so thats seeming more like routine an not really helping me to focus on something other than TTC. Total loss is now 19lbs. 1 more until that magical 20.

Dream- That is amazing, almost 20lbs!!! WOOT WOOT!
Amber- Congrats on 16 weeks!
My appt is at 2.. So I have to work until then. Luckily I can scan the internet and do things since we are slow. I am almost tempted to ask my Dr for Clomid.. I know we haven't actively been trying the last 3 months, but I guess I want that extra boost. He is an awesome doctor and will usually prescribe me what I want. I just don't know if he would do Clomid or not. I am almost 33 and really want to conceive before I am 35. What do you guys think?

Steph, glad your ultrasound cam back fine. Hope you'll have a wonderful ultralong weekend
Amber, congrats on 16 weeks! Every week is another milestone. How are your symptoms?
Dream, hahaha yeah same thing keeps happening over here. This month feels particularly slow, I don't know why. I guess I'm just a bit nervous because it's our last shot before starting BCP's and preparing for the transfer. It would just be perfect. Ugh.
So proud of your weight loss journey!
Sarah, I personally would try for 3 months before starting Clomid to get a feel for when you ovulate (so temping + using OPK's during those months). If you start immediately, you don't really have a baseline. It's not going to make you pregnant faster if you ovulate on your own anyway. Good luck today!
Tb, did your new OPK's come in yet?

Thanks girls.. I totally am breaking up with that doctor. I just sent my NP an email about what our plan is and if they would do my early scans.. I don’t know why I am nervous? I guess I feel judgement when I say I’m going abroad.. oh well. Don’t care!
Dream that sure is wild! 1 dpo every day?! Sheesh not cool. Lol I am so proud of you!!
Amber- wow! 16 already?! Flying by!
Sunny- yep opks came yesterday and I’m still getting negatives with super low temps. Lower than usual! How long will you be on BCP ?
Sarah- I would wait. Clomid is great for some IF they aren’t ovulating. It doesn’t help with egg quality so if you O on your own, it probably won’t help a whole bunch. So like sunny said, start tracking it first so you know!
Steph- glad everything is clear! I can imagine the confusion your doctor went through when you said Peace Out lol

7DPO. I've been planning to start testing 9DPO on Saturday since the start of this TWW. But now realizing that tomorrow is Good Friday and I'll be off work I'm going to be sooooooooooooooo tempted to test then at 8DPO. Someone tell me it's a bad idea.
Anyhoo, still feeling a little lightheaded today. I dunno what's up with that 3 days its been now. meh. Woke up bloated today as well. Sore boobies, thats the norm, usually start up around this time. Nothing really screaming at me that this cycle is THE ONE but nothing saying it isn't either. I'll just keep waiting.
