State of the Ute 6/4/18

1. Where are you in your journey?
ttc#1, CD4, way to many cycles to count but cycle 4 since getting help.  

2. Any testing this week?
Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Went in for an ultrasound and blood work yesterday for CD3 (RE's office is open on weekends!!), they called me today and cancelled our first IUI because of a cyst. A VERY large one at 70mm. They're putting me on BC this month and we'll try again next. I'm bummed out. Totally flameworthy but I forgot how much getting a period sucks. I have PCOS so I can go months and months and months without one, this is the first time that 3 months in a row it came on it's own.

4. Only 2.5 more weeks until SUMMER! Any plans?
I'm trying to convince DH to take time off work so we can go to the Biltmore or up to Canada for a vacation. Otherwise nothing planned.


Holy Large Cyst Batman:  I just got a call from the nurse who said my cyst was coming in 70.6mm.  That's huge.

Not flameworthy at all. When the progesterone worked and I actually started having regular, 28-ish day cycles, I felt the same way. Like, yay regular cycles, but also, OMG my periods suck and this is miserable. lol.

This sounds super painful, I'm really sorry. It's a double suck

We're thinking of doing Asheville for our trip...have you been. We would be driving from Baltimore

Luckily I have no pain with the cyst just another wrench thrown in.

I haven't been to Ashville which is why we might go this year.  We are in northern va so we'd be driving as well.  From what I've heard it's a pretty drive and about 7 hours from here.

1. Where are you in your journey? cycle 9?10?, CD12

2. Any testing this week? yes, OPKs. I got a very light line today so will prob get a darker one tomorrow and O Wed or Thurs. I think we're doing another IUI, just without the trigger shot this time. I'm supposed to call and schedule when I get a positive OPK.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? One of the cats brought in a bunny the other day, so I came home to him chasing this poor little bunny around in the basement. He'd pulled some of it's fur off and there were blood streaks along the walls where it tried to get away from him. SO put it outside but it's missing like a 3" by 3" square of hair on it's back so I don't know if it will make it. I'm still mad at the cat and he's lost his outside privileges. Of course my good cat was totally uninterested in the bunny but got excited when I brought out a box to try to get the bunny into. He loves to sit in boxes.

4. Only 2.5 more weeks until SUMMER! Any plans? Going to CO the last week in June!

1. Where are you in your journey? Not trying, not avoiding for baby 2 cycle 1, 17 dpo (3 days late, many BFNs).

2. Any testing this week? No, major temp drop the last 2 days and I’m having some minor spotting so tomorrow is likely CD1.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I’m starting to panic about my son starting school, even so he won’t start until next year. Theoretically he would have to adjust to a new baby and school within a few months of each other which feels like a lot. It’s worrying me.

4. Only 2.5 more weeks until SUMMER! Any plans? Avoiding the heat mostly. I’m not a summer person. We’ll probably spend some time at H’s family cottage but we’re planning for a vacation in November so it’ll be a low key (read: cheap) summer. We had 4 weddings last summer so after that I’m looking forward to a nuptial free season.

1. Where are you in your journey? A very happy CD1, my period has returned since MC

2. Any testing this week? no

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I lost my wedding rings and have searched EVERYWHERE

4. Only 2.5 more weeks until SUMMER! Any plans? We have a week off in July. Would like to do 4 nights in Asheville and 3 nights in Ocean City, MD...but also need a gap day in between so might need to take an extra day for that.

I hope it’s ok to jump in here, I could use some company. Miscarriage mentioned.

1. TTC #3, Cycle 7, CD ?? This last cycle ended in a miscarriage at 5.5 weeks, so I’m not sure if I should count from the day I started bleeding? My HCG levels went back to 1, so the nurse said I can TTC again right away.

2. Yes, I plan to use OPKs starting tomorrow.

3. I struggle with anxiety and depression, but actually felt like I was handling this loss relatively ok. I found out two weeks ago,but these past few days have been really hard mentally. Here’s hoping I get to a better place.

4. No vacations or anything planned- my ILS live on a small lake so we’ll spend a good amount of time there.

Sorry for such a downer first post! Best of luck to you all in this process.

When did they test your hcg. I think I would count that as cd1. But I'm going to guess this just isn't going to be a normal cycle

1. Where are you in your journey? We started TTC a couple weeks ago. I've been tracking my periods on Clue and other apps for years and my cycle is pretty regular. My fertile window was last week.

TTC#1, CD29, DPO 9, Cycle 1

2. Any testing this week? No, it seems too early. But as of this morning, I have some light, brown bleeding with very mild cramping. Everything I read indicates this could be implantation bleeding. My period is due 6/20 so we will see...

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? We're having gorgeous weather and I wish I could just be outside and enjoy.

4. Only 2.5 more weeks until SUMMER! Any plans? I need to check local festivals.
