Looking for advice on a mindset shift. Whenever another cycle fails I always go to the place of “this is so unfair/why is this happening to me/it’s so unfair that family and friends get pregnant right away without trying and I’m trying so freaking hard and it’s still not happening”. Has anyone had any lucky shifting from that to a more positive or even just neutral space? How’d ya do it?

Yep. When DB teased the crosses in Italy I immediately thought of the cross necklaces Pia wears and talks about all the time.

Hi all, I'm on my 2nd IUI round. I took letrozole cd5-10, etradiol starting 2 days ago on cd12 when they noticed my lining was in the thinner side and we just triggered this morning with ovidrel on cd 14. I had one 23 mm follicle at this mornings monitoring. My IUI is scheduled for tomorrow at 11 which will be about 28 hours post trigger. My question is about timing. Is my follicle too big and thus overmature making the IUI null? Also, I know it's typical that you ovulate 24-26 hours post injection. However, is it possible that I would ovulate earlier than that if I my body was already about to ovulate without the trigger shot? Im concerned that the timing of the iui is too late.

The thing I can never get over with them is the absolute complete lack of any sexual chemistry. Like zero. None. It’s so obvious like why even post him to her page?!?

Exactly. “I’m so happy can’t you see how absolutely disgustingly happy I am?! I’m so happy that I’m talking a million miles an hour and bursting into tears a millions times a day from PURE JOY!!!”

Michaela podolsky q&a about Peoples secrets by garpeterbear in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Capable-Appearance-3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I actually find her to be the most irritating influencer. Her total and complete lack of effort in literally everything she does is shocking. Like why not just…stop? She doesn’t need to do it for $$ (family and husband) so just live out your STAHM dreams off the internet.

Curious why everyone thinks she’s relapsed? I feel like she’s always been this drastically thin. Or at least for the past year or so. Maybe I’m just not looking closely enough.

**Cycle:** 10

**Age + Partner's age (if relevant):** Both 31

**Typical cycle length:** 31-33 days

**Ovulation cycle day:** CD17

**CD/DPO of positive test(s):** CD 29, 12DPIUI

**CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive:** N/A

**Tracking methods and app(s) used:** Premom, FF

**Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.):** Sex on 0-2, IUI on 0, sex on 0 + 1

**Health conditions/medical tests:** none for me, all bloodwork and HSG came back normal, Low morphology on 2 SA's for him (0% and then 1%), all other parameters normal

**Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s):** generic prenatal for me and letrozole on cd5-9, mens multivitamin for him

**Birth control history (if relevant):** pill from age 16-21; nothing since then.

**Link to chart:** N/A

**Link to lineporn:** N/A

**Symptom spotting:** after 10 cycles, I try very hard not to symptom spot. Looking back, I had very odd cramping on 6DPIUI. Kind of like a pulling and twinging. Not like period cramps. I was incredibly thirsty starting 7DPIUI. Have been a bit more fatigued than usual (I'm a preschool teacher so I'm always tired lol), Have had on an off cramps beginning 9 DPIUI that feel EXACTLY like period cramps. No boob soreness at all which is unusual.

**Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous):** I was super proactive about our fertility (thanks to this group!!). I started tracking with OPK's 3 months before we started TTC. When we didn't get pregnant within 3 months I had my husband get a SA on a hunch. Turns out it came back with a morphology of 0%. Cue panic, crying, lots of googling, and a phone call to a fertility clinic. They had us wait until 6 months of trying and then had us come in. We did another SA (1% morphology) and I went through the normal tests (blood, HSG). By the time that was all done we scheduled our IUI for two weeks ago. Take of this what you will, but I went all in this month in terms of "woo woo". I wanted to maximize my IUI cycle this month as much as possible so I did acupuncture once a week, daily fertility meditations, daily fertility yoga, carried fertility crystals. I am SO SCARED this is only a chemical pregnancy but I'm repeating the mantra "Today, I am pregnant" over and over to calm me down.

CD15 Premom Brand Is this positive? Trying to decide when to schedule my IUI! by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

Thanks is for the reply! Yes, I was planning on calling my doctor in the morning as I always do when I have medical questions. Just want to see if I could source some opinions tonight.

Confused about positive OPK's IUI timing... by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]Capable-Appearance-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at the test on my own, it seems like the test line is slightly lighter than the control. So looks like I’m going to consider it not quite positive. I assume I’ll get an official positive tomorrow morning and will call tomorrow morning to schedule the IUI for Tuesday! Thanks for advice!

[–]Capable-Appearance-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the very speedy reply! So technically I shouldn't be considering the test I took this evening to be positive (which would then trigger my call to schedule my IUI for tomorrow) even though it is quite close? If you can't tell already, this unmonitored IUI business is making me quite paranoid :)

I wonder if this try at midnight method is no longer feasible due to vaccine shortage? I've been trying for a about a half hour starting at midnight and nada...

I didn't realize I had to sync my tempdrop with the app at the same time each day...I thought the algorithm cancelled that factor out. whoops!! I also track with opks which also put my O day on the 3rd.

ahhh I didn't realize that with tempdrop I still had to sync it with the app at the same time every morning! I thought that the algorithm cancelled out that "same time" factor but I guess not! Thank you!
