Day 5 Rundown
Cycle Day: 22
Days Past Ovulation: 7
HPT Result: BFN
Symptoms: Some pinching/cramping throughout the day, tender breasts, small bouts of nausea (similar to the Clomid cycle)
Emotions: Anxious about the next few days
Other: As more and more rainbow and pot-of-gold baby announcements come, I wonder if I got left behind again. If the pregnancy train passed by my stop for another season. I’m trying to not focus on it so much, but with each wave of pregnancies, it feels like my chances are smaller. This my faulty logic: Each couple has a 26% chance max of conceiving (that is with perfect timing and no fertility issues). That means that for every woman that gets pregnant, three don’t, which means I could be one of those three. and there have been 9 announcements in my online circles just in the past month, which leaves 27 who did not conceive. (9/27 = my wedding anniversary, which is also when AF is due according to Fertility Friend).

A little info about this cycle: This month marks 3 years since we decided (that word makes me laugh sometimes) to have children. It is 6 months since losing Gaelen, 20 months since losing Rainbow, and 30 months since losing Calvin.
This month’s “protocol”: I am temp’ing and charting at Fertility Friend. I took Letrozole (generic Femara) from cycle days 2-6. I used the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. I am receiving acupuncture once a week and have been seeing my chiropractor (where I also receive N.E.T. get an awesome 10-minute chair massage from an extern) every two weeks.
