I'm here, but nursing a UTI. Joy to me!
I'm on CD19, so crossing fingers over here.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I'll be hanging out with the in-laws, wish me luck.
Sorry about the UTI - those are never fun. And my in-laws will be here next weekend!
My FIL likes to eat spaghetti and hamburgers and not much else, and he is only capable of holding conversations about his latest bowling score and his accounting business.
It's going to be a looooooonnnggggg weekend.
Thank God they live far enough away that we only see them a few times a year! Even DH dreads the visit - it's not just me! Just looking forward to getting that behind me.
AFM well FIL has come home this week from his 2nd stay in hospital in 3 weeks with a stroke. Thankfully he's getting stronger each day
Today is the anniversary of my dad's death (24 years) and my sister's death too (49 years) so I'm feeling a little emotional but each year it gets less so thankfully
And I'm just waiting to ovulate I hope although my temps are a little strange and could imply ovulation 2 days ago so I'm a little confused. Trust this month to be confusing when I decided not to use y CBFM
I'm sorry it's a hard day, Mac. Tomorrow will be better.
GL with the CBFM.
Butterfly, didn't you have day 3 bloods done recently? Any results yet?
AFM, been lurking for a bit. I'm just in a funk. This treatment cycle has me in a state of high anxiety, given that the last one was such a disaster. So far everything's looking ok but not great - right now I have two good follies and two little ones that the RE is hoping will catch up. The ganirelix will prevent ovulation before the trigger so I know that won't be an issue again this time, but my E2 is lower than it should be so I'm just not very encouraged at this point. I just know with DH's low morphology, two eggs isn't going to cut it. I'd be much happier with three or four, so I really need those two little ones to catch up in order for me to think there's any chance this month. I'm still stimming, and it looks like the IUI will be on Monday or Tuesday.
My other concern is my long-term outlook... on Wed I got my AMH results back, and like this cycle, it's ok but not great. All this time I've taken great comfort in the fact that my FSH is great for my age (6.2), but now I know my AMH is 2... RE says anything over 2 is good, between 1-2 is reason for concern that my ovarian reserve is starting to decline, and that 1 or less is when he gets very concerned about the odds of success.... He explained that AMH provides a better long-term indication of ovarian reserve, whereas FSH is a more short-term indicator. So needless to say that was very upsetting news, and it's making me dread my birthday at the end of the month that much more.... I'm starting to think more seriously about moving to IVF in the hopes that we could have some embryos to freeze and use later to have a second child without having to worry about my age so much....
So here I sit, not very optimistic about this cycle and not very optimistic about our long-term chances. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.
We were supposed to go to an outdoor concert this evening, but it is now pouring down rain (for the first time in over a month) so I think we'll be staying home. I hope you all have a great weekend, though!
