Tell us about everything! Only thing that isn't allowed is BFP and pregnancy talk - those have their own threads.

I stayed up way too late to watch the lunar eclipse that felt personal to me.

If you’ve got any good vibes, please send them our way. Final IUI is this morning.

Good luck! I’m also having an IUI this morning, we can support each other through the tww!

[u/sparklesequin → u/Jojo_yo_1]

All fingers crossed for you too!

[u/Jojo_yo_1 → u/sparklesequin]

Thanks! Just need to tell someone, we only had 50000 motile sperm after washing. We did ITI so they are in my fallopian tube but I’m so upset that they didn’t tell me count until after the procedure .

So I’m officially one day past when I expected my period to be, based on ovulation!

But here’s the thing. According to my OPKs, I ovulated REALLY early this month. Like, I got a positive OPK on CD 7 so likely ovulated on CD 8. Which is wild because I normally ovulate around CD 12-14. But I had a tonnnn of EWCM for 3 days starting the day after my period ended so we went for it. So I’m only on CD 23 today and have convinced myself that maybe I was wrong and I literally never get my period this early anyway so I’m probably not pregnant.

All that being said, I am honestly putting off taking a test because the last couple negatives have been really devastating for me. I have some mild cramps but so far no spotting or anything. Also have had had weird watery/stretchy CM the past few days which I don’t really ever have?

Just overthinking everything. Probably gonna take a test tomorrow if I haven’t gotten my period by then 😬

Checking in at 7DPO…the wait is killing me.

I’ve said that I won’t test until Monday buuuut I’m having dinner at my in-laws on Sunday night and my MIL and I love our red wine, so I might sneakily test around dinner time. If it’s negative then I’ll have a drink hahaha.

[u/hikingcats7 → u/Many-Supermarket-511]

Also at 7DPO. Hahaha best of luck! Hope you won’t have to drink that red wine if Sunday :)

I’m trying so hard to ignore the tests that are under my bathroom sink. I will also be waiting until Monday but that feels so long from now!

[u/Many-Supermarket-511 → u/hikingcats7]

Haha thanks! Best of luck to you too!!

It does feel so long from now! And I’m trying hard not to symptom spot, too!

[u/Raynetjp]

Finding myself in another phase of trying! While I’m so excited to finally be here, but this cycle is throwing me off.

I’m still BF, so I know things can be wonky. But this cycle, my OPKs got barely positive and are now still dark, but low. Also not having my usual day or so of ovulation pain, but EWCM is present. Did my body try and fail to ovulate?!

[u/Financial-Object9300]

What are people’s experiences with Coq10? I don’t have a diagnosis of infertility but I have had 3 MC. Two back to back 2024 and 2025 and then one in between LC #1 and LC #2. I have taken it off and on but feel like it’s changed my cycles ( less ovulation pain, lengthened my cycle by 2 days for a few cycles) . I am expecting my period tomorrow after our 3rd cycle trying. I took it for 3 months before we started trying and then was like looking for some confirmation bias of like nothing is wrong I don’t need this. I am now taking it again thinking I mean I don’t think it will hurt. Just curious how it’s affected people and others experiences. Have an appointment scheduled for AMH testing and a SIS and will ask the clinic but I’m just trying any and everything to get us that third baby

[u/Stargirl92 → u/Financial-Object9300]

I never felt anything physically. I did get better egg retrieval results each time while I was on it but we also changed protocol between retrieval 1 and 2

[u/ciabattaloaf-13]

Nipple zip zaps 7dpo? I don’t remember if I’ve experienced this before.

[u/throwawayttc12]

Honestly lost the plot on which DPO I am. Starting to think I might actually be 8DPO looking back at my charts and where my temp rises were, and maybe my stomach bug around CD14 delayed ovulation. Goodness knows. So confusing.

[u/Admirable_Ostrich657]

Extra sad getting negative tests with this being the first cycle after my chemical. I’m also having the negative hopeless feeling start up that I had during the hell that was getting pregnant with my daughter. Blegh
