Well, no cramping, which is sad. I woke up feeling like I was dying. Cold symptoms and a low grade fever.
Symptoms:
And that's it. I wish I was crampy so I could feel like something was going on in there. 10 more days till OTD.

There really isn't much to report today. I feel really relaxed about this whole cycle. Moments I feel like this is going to work. Actually, most of the time I feel that way.
I did have spotting after my transfer yesterday, which is a first. Of course I'm slightly nervous. Symptoms:
11 days till OTD. I need to get more heparin tomorrow as I might run out before test day. Today is my transfer day!! I'm excited and calm. I have a really good feeling about this cycle.
We're transferring our last two ❄️ babies, and I'm hoping with the changes, they stick and stay stuck for the next 9 months. If it doesn't work, we already have a plan in place, so that's good, but I'm really hoping it does work and we finally have our THB. Unfortunately, I am having some stomach issues this morning, hoping they resolve before I need to leave my house. I'll update after my transfer. Hoping both embabies survive the thaw. I got only 2 more days till transfer. I'm actually kind of getting excited. I've been staying away from gluten to keep inflammation down and most dairy. I'm feeling a million times better and even went for a short jog this morning (I felt like I was going to 💩 myself and had to call it after like a mile and a half). That sucked, maybe I'll go tomorrow morning. We'll see.
Today I'm getting a massage. I'm really excited, it is definitely needed. I also had some really bizarre dreams last night; in one I had a bloody nose (and lots of blood), the other I was plucking my eyebrows. Very strange. I'm only taking 3 days off work: day of transfer and two days after. I'll keep my week light though. And that's all for now. Today should be my programmed ovulation. We BD'ed last night just in the off chance this could work. I noticed I was actually producing cm for a change, but could be the cough syrup. I am coughing horribly, who knows if any swimmers made it.
Speaking of coughing, I am now on a zpack and inhaler. It would appear I have bronchitis, and I'm really hoping that's all I have because I feel really really shitty. My nasal passages have mostly cleared, but I'm coughing up yellow phlegm. I have only a few short days to get better. Yesterday I started to worry that we're transferring a day too late. I considered talking to the doctor about it, but did ask one of my friends and she put me in the perspective of realizing that doctors care a lot about their success rates, and if he did think it would make a difference, he wouldn't do it that day. Plus, I do know that it's possible for the implantation window to be slightly off in some women, especially in cases of RIF (like around 20%). So who knows. I just want this to work already. I just hope that this isn't too late to transfer. The thing is, overall, I don't feel like we're going to keep going through this, which makes me hopeful, but I also feel like so numb and jaded towards the whole thing at this point. I do, to some degree, feel like we're getting our rainbow baby soon. Definitely by the end of next year, likely before fall. Perhaps by Sept/Oct latest, but likely before that. Maybe I needed to get my priorities right. I've truly started to put this before my work, and I've decided work isn't worth this on hold, or creating a balancing act. If this doesn't take, by the time we do the next retrieval, we'll both have been on herbs for a while and I believe these herbs helped in our "successful" cycle last year. I guess we'll just see how everything unfolds. I start progesterone tonight. Yay! 🙄 Tonight was my trigger. I needed to move it up because I got a blinking smiley face on my ovulation prediction kit. I really don't get why this keeps happening, but it does. I just hope this cycle works.
I contacted my doctor and we're moving forward as originally planned. So transfer is set for Monday next week. I'm still really sick, but I plan to go to work tomorrow. Hoping the day goes by quickly. Just a few more days till transfer. Today is my first and probably only check. I'll go in and find out when I'll trigger and know when my transfer will be.
In addition to this, I'm sick as a dog. It came on super fast, super strong. So I'm hoping it leaves super fast. I'll update after I see the Doctor. Update: Trigger tomorrow night at 10. They checked my blood to check my estradiol levels, which has never happened before. I didn't hear anything, and in this case, no news is good news. I'm on CD 6 of what I'm hoping will be my 4th and SUCCESSFUL FET.
Not much going on. I'm taking my herbs and meds, the aciclovir isn't messing with my stomach, thank god. I had a horrible gluten reaction over the weekend and I'm still doing damage control. I feel so numb to it all at this point. I just want it to work, but if not, I have a plan in place to move forward with a 5th full IVF cycle. I guess the reality is time will tell. Saturday, I'll find out when transfer and everything will fall. Just hoping my body doesn't decide to do whatever it wants this time around. OK, this is going to be a FET with insemination. We are transferring our last two embryos. If this fails, we will do the HGH next cycle and do a fresh IVF cycle in December.
That being said. Here are my questions and answers:
I feel like I walked into a pet store to look at the puppies and walked out with one. 😂 I was not intending to transfer this cycle, but I guess all for a reason. AF arrived yesterday bright and early in the morning. Today was supposed to be my pregnancy test, but now it's a CD 2 visit. My flow is rather heavy and painful this month, but it's OK. AF also showed up exactly when she was supposed to, despite being on progesterone support. I really like that my body is fairly regular, but it is a bit crazy that it will do exactly what it wants.
I have a few questions to ask my doctor today. Assuming he's in (I think he should be because he was out of town for a few days, and there's definitely a procedure today).
