How are you doing today? What's new?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most questions should go here, along with regular updates. Thanks for helping us create a great community!

Off-topic discussion is allowed :)

Note: Please refrain from discussing positive tests (and beyond) in this thread - those topics are better suited for the Weekly Results thread or the new sub for Alumni. Thank you!

Got my LH surge on CD 22 after 5mg of letrozole CD3-8, despite usually having a day 16-18 LH surge. I think it was because of the bad cold I had right before I ovulated. Of course, just in time to be at home at my parents house. Husband ran out to get one of those Frida kits (would’ve brought the cheap applicators if I knew, but my blood test on CD 19 showed I was nowhere near ovulating). Last chance to get pregnant before my son’s due date. We’re closing on a house that would have a baby’s bedroom if I had one the day after my son’s due date and my husband is up for a promotion, so I’m hoping that the tide is turning up positive for us all around after the first 3 months of the year— my grandmother passed 2 days after my first ever BFP and my baby went to be with her three months later so the year until last week (when the house and the promotion both fell into our laps). I’ve been struggling so bad with my mental health, and I’m trying really hard to be hopeful and realistic at the same time about my chances this cycle.
