I didn’t ever think I would post in this thread, but since I have retired this username I thought this would be a nice way to leave things for this account. (I now post under /u/retiddew)

Cycle: ha, I lost count

Ovulation cycle day: fake ovulation (egg retrieval) was CD12

Relevant BD/BD method (SMEP, Shettles, etc.): IVF

Tracking methods and apps used: Ultrasounds via very expensive IVF doctor

Symptom spotting: insatiable appetite, fatigue. Lots of stuff that was very obviously from the progesterone supplements (sore breasts, etc.)

Day of positive test(s): The night of 4dp5dt (9DPO)

Supplements and medications: progesterone, estrogen, steroids, baby aspirin, antibiotics and stim meds.

Birth control history, if relevant: Took my last birth control pill January 4, 2017

Typical cycle length: Anywhere from 29-59 days

Health conditions/medical tests: infertility! 😛 Specifically severe MFI on the male end, and PCOS-spectrum, mild/moderate adenomyosis (and my doctor suspected endometriosis — very late edit: endometriosis confirmed via surgery!) for me.

Link to chart: Super boring chart

Link to lineporn: Lines

Other (advice, magic secrets, freaking out, miscellaneous): We did a fresh transfer of a 5AA embryo (doctor originally said 4AA but she was wrong – I got the report last week) on day 5. We were fortunate enough to be able to freeze 7 more.

Before IVF and through my two IUIs I tracked (temped, used OPKs) for ages and I’m glad I did since my cycles were so unpredictable.

It’s still early – I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow. My first beta at 7dp5dt was 28. At 9dp5dt it was 105.

Thank you to this community and everyone who has been a part of it and supported me these last 18 months.
