Are you resting today? Going about your business as usual? Are you taking progesterone shots?
So many questions sorry!
Home resting. Same for next two days. My clinic is pretty strict on rest for a few days after.
Only doing endometrium 3x a day. I think this is Bc of the study, or else I would be doing more drugs. I’m thankful no progesterone shots tho. Don’t mind the endometrium
No phone call today! So far we made it one day further than last time! They may biopsy and freeze tomorrow or on Friday. Or, tell us we are out of luck. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

It's always small victories, but I can imagine how nervous and anxious you were approaching the point where everything stopped last time. Congratulations on getting past that point, and fingers crossed lots of embryos keep growing to blastocyst!!!!

Los of hurdles to jump. And you’re right, each one is a victory!

We have three more that we’re frozen today. So 4 total frozen.
Lost out on a big promotion at work today by a very small margin, so kinda upset about that. Ugh trying to not think of work or wondering if this worked or not.

What day did these embryos freeze?
3 extra were frozen on day 6. 1 was frozen on day 5.

What a great cycle you had! Congrats. 6 day blasts have about the same chance of success as 5 day blasts (in contrast to 7 day blasts which have a somewhat reduced success rate, although some clinics still freeze them.)
I just talked to my sleep study peoples and I have to go in for a traditional one as the home had data missing (I am pretty sure I pulled out the tubes in my nose because I woke up twice and they were out).
H comes home tonight! Okay technically tomorrow morning but he comes home a little after midnight as long as he has no flight delays do fingers crossed
And I have acupuncture appointment today. My spaniel has a recheck for his platelets today too.
I am almost 100% sure I'm in the TWW now. The ovulation pressure/discomfort on femara is no joke. Progesterone check on Monday since the labs are all closed on Sunday for CD 21, naturally.

This is probably a good time to mention that I have been avoiding this board not just because I’m going through some shit, but also because of the uptick in posts that reference kid-content in the weekly threads (even with trigger warnings it is noticeable and out of place.) I get that some of you have living children and that parenting is probably a big part of your lives, but in my mind it is important to keep this thread a safe space for all of us going through infertility and TTTC and that means respecting that some of us don’t have and may never have successful pregnancies and births and come here to share and read treatment related updates. We can get to know each other and what is going on in each other’s lives without having kids be a central focus.
There is an entire grads board where this stuff is openly discussed not to mention all the other non-TTC boards on GBCN where these sorts of posts are totally appropriate (not to mention virtually every other social space on earth) but in my opinion this board is not the place.
seeyalater52 I appreciate you expressing your discomfort. I'm truly sorry if I've made it difficult for you I will do my best to refrain from any commenting that might be uncomfortable for you/others.
My struggle is that I don't feel like I belong on the TTTC grads board because I haven't "graduated TTTC" since I'm secondary IF. The SIF and GP boards are both dead as a doornail and I really did try to keep the GP board going. I personally don't feel like there a board I truly belong to and I'm trying to make it work here because I do have questions about some of the things I'm dealing with since my losses and getting referred to my OB.

I agree with that 100%. Kid stories should not be mentioned in TTTC at all.

You are more than welcome on the grad board. Most of us on the grad board had secondary IF as well.
You are welcome here too to listen and share your IF experience here but I think kid stories never belong here. Just my two cents
I have removed any mention to DS in my post earlier today. Again, I'm truly sorry to anyone I upset.
I appreciate that, thank you. And to be clear it isn't just you! It is a pattern I've noticed and a shift overall on the board, and I wasn't trying to call you out in particular. I can't pretend to understand what secondary IF is like, but in my experience I have seen a lot of people here (many of whom also post on TTTC grads, ML, and other boards about their kids) walk a line of engaging with and getting support from this community during treatment but leaving the references to their kids elsewhere and it has seemed to work pretty well although I don't want to speak for them.
Perhaps I'm just old and bitter and a hopeless case who isn't ever going to have a baby at this point, but I will say that those of us trying repeatedly for years and years and years to have a baby and never succeeding also share the frustration about where we fit in, and this board is one of the only places where I have felt comfortable to post knowing that I won't randomly come across upsetting and triggering things that remind me of the kids I'll probably never get to have.
seeyalater52 thank you for saying this. I’m guilty of it, and of course it makes sense that even with an @, it’s not appropriate here.
ETA- I don’t post on TTTCG because I can’t deal with the posts about current pregnancies so of course it’s hard to read about children in a TTTC space. Again, I’m sorry I didn’t think about this beforehand.

moonriver, thanks for being receptive. I agnonized over whether to say anything about it for weeks but then realized if I didnt I’d probably just need to walk away from the board for good and I like you all too much (and honestly could really use the support, too.)

As someone who is newish to the board, I really appreciate you saying something. There’s little things I’ve learned here and there (like not mentioning betas/BFPs in weekly threads) from being active in the group, but is there anyway to make guidelines to be posted at the top for new members to read?
I’ve been wondering how you’re doing, and keep you in my thoughts often.

I think a “guidelines” post would be awesome. There are really only those two as far as I know. But I’m not sure this board has any mods? I am pretty sure only mods can sticky posts.
Well just got the call. And none of them made it. They kept checking to see if anything got better over the course of the week and none were able to be frozen and none were able to be tested. I’m feeling absolutely defective and sad. I have no idea what our next steps will be.
