[FtMPapa]

Can I zip back to Waiting to O, please???

Crankypants over here. This month, I'm trying with KJM's "lucky" OVwatch, so maybe that'll pan out.

12 day LP this cycle, and 10 days last, so I'm going to keep workin' on the EPO, B vitamins, Vitex, etc, to try to lengthen it.

Thanks for keeping the thread, Indigo!! Bring on the November BFPs!!!! :

[iheartsheep]

Firstly, congratulations to QTRANDI! :

Here's hoping November is just as lucky to the rest of us TTCers.

We're halfway through the TWW. No symptoms to speak of. Tired, a little bloaty, that's about it. Tested out the trigger shot. We go to our follow up appt on Friday but will likely test at home on Thurs (which will be 13 DPIUI).

So sorry you didn't get your BFP, Papa.

[JennM1021]

Damn Papa...sorry. Glad you are optomistically looking toward your BFP in November though!

[indigoscot]

crappers papa, i was hoping all the cramping action meant a bfp. i will move you to waiting to o as requested.

i hope november brings more bfps!!!!

Damn, Papa, I'm sorry. I thought this was it for you.

On the bright side, the thought of you and Monty dressed up as Scooby and Shaggy totally made my Halloween. Quite frankly, Harvey was a little jealous.

[Twylightdove]

I think I O'd but I didn't do any tracking other than CM and cervix gazing so I'm a little unsure. Might as well move me to "Waiting to know" since I'm done inseming for the cycle.

Hopefully November will be as lucky as October was!

[pleasantlyfurious]

well, October was NOT lucky for me. We are waiting for our first AF post miscarriage and will assess whether we are ready to try again at that point.

[abeecharmer]

congrats Randi!!! :::

PF, lots and lots of to you. I can't even imagine your pain. I hope that you find the strength to try again. I just know that one month soon will be your lucky month. (shh... I'm predicting a very queer fertile December )

It's very hard. I hope you are healing well.

Bring it on, November!!!!

Has anyone else tried the OV Watch? It worked for KJM, the very first month, and now I'm trying it.

Wearing a watch is driving me slightly crazy, but it's easy enough, I just wear it in the evening/while I'm sleeping - it just needs six hours a day to get its readings.

It's slightly disheartening staring at the NF it displays so far (cycle day 3) which stands for "Not Fertile." I don't like her attitude so far. I would prefer she said "Not yet" and then shifted to "Soon" before saying "Fertile."

[DearAbby]

Hi Everyone! Checking in for November. I am on a 2WW : I'm testing November 14th.

I feel like things went really well. I had two good follicles and the donor sample had a count of 29 million. I'm pleased with this cycle. Now it's out of my hands and all I can do is wait it out and hope nature takes it course.

I'm sending out good vibes to everyone!! :

I hear ya Papa!! I hated lil' miss purple watches attitude-but I loved her results!! I will say that after awhile my disdain for "NF" was quickly replaced by my hatred for "Not Reading"--That one makes me soo mad--she's a finicky lady--Good Luck, may we pass her and her extra sensor off to another lucky TTCer!!

[indigoscot]

cd3 here - i forgot how bothersome all the waiting is!!! now that we are a month away from ttc #2 it seems like the days are draaaaging by. we have tentatively scheduled to meet with our clinic the week of november 17 to discuss our treatment plan with the caveat of needing yet more records (from the aspiration procedure and pathology and the endo appt next week). ugh.

dp has left the haggling about the treatment plan to me. while our clinic is family-friendly, the doctor has a tendancy to act like a know-it-all. i didn't stand for that when it was my turn and i'm confident i can do it again this time. we only have 3 tries to get dp pregnant with our son's donor so our requirements are that we reserve the right to cancel a cycle if dp only has 1 follicle and we'd like to have some follistim in reserve should dp's follicles need an extra boost. i don't think those are unreasonable but you never know how this doctor is going to react!!

hope everyone managed to vote today! i don't get to as i'm not a citizen.

Where's the foot stomping in frustration smilie? Ugh, Papa, I'm so very sorry.

November, the gray month, needs lots of light from BFPs, so I vote for you to lead the bunch!

hopin' the watch brings you luck.

[FtMPapa]

Thanks, Megin!

I am REALLY feeling the November greys. I was driving home in the pitch dark at 5:30 last night, and I was in bed and asleep by 8:30 or so.

I just started taking a vitamin D supplement on the advice of a friend who swears it helped him last winter.

Anyone else have any other advice? I'm picking up some full-spectrum bulbs for my desk lamps at home and at work today; I really need to fight off this feeling before it takes hold.

I wish I could afford to go somewhere sunny! I have the whole month of January off. Maybe there's a mama in New Mexico or Arizona or somewhere who needs an au-pair for a few weeks. I need to find some way to get out of MA for a week or two in January. I could, I suppose, just drive south until it gets warm.

I was so crashed out that I forgot to wear the watch last night, I put it on this morning, but if I miss another night, it will ditch this cycle. :

[DM630]

Can I please be moved to waiting to o Af is due today or tomorrow. This will be our first time trying since the unsuccessful IVF in June. I am feeling really good about this cycle, and trying to stay relaxed. I am sure that will change when I hit the tww.
We are returning to my gyn for the monitoring and IUI. It is a muchmore relaxed and nurturing enviroment then the RE and they follow the same protocol.
We have also decided to change donors. Our new donor has had reported pregnancy's, however they could not tell me how many.
Lets hope that November is as successful as October was.
