Makes total sense, thanks. And glad to hear it varies/has kinda changed bc it hadn’t been on my radar.

It’s wide spread enough shady groves website says no more than 6 for under 38 years, no more than 3 for over 38 years old.

Is that for letrozole too? I couldn’t find info on letrozole lifetime limits.

I was seeing 6 on letrazole as well. But again, that could just be the “if this hasn’t worked yet it statistically won’t work” deal.

Claro! And yeah fwiw my genetic counselor told me basically, they don’t have any good data showing IVF increases cancer risk, but given my already very high risk of breast cancer, to be really intentional about screenings because “it certainly isn’t doing you any favors”. I shrugged and was like yeah I pretty well figured we’re just waiting on the data that shows that and she was like “yeah that’s… probably a sensible approach”. But. Ymmv if you’re not already looking at a 1/3-1/2 estimated lifetime risk.

Ugh, woke up at 6 am and just had to test even though light flow indicated cd1 yesterday (but nothing today, so confused). Had very convincing line eyes in the bathroom by my phone light but now there’s obviously nothing.
My just woke up brain was VERY convinced.

If you set yourself arbitrary rules, do you follow them? And do you think it would be healthier for you to test less often? I know that at one point I got into really unhealthy, phantom pregnancy territory with tests and had to make a system to protect my mental health.

But maybe GM can hide my tests until CD 12 without bleeding.

Literally having to visit a notary for this stuff right now. Annoying.
Clinic now has introduced a 3% convenience fee for cards for costs above $2k 
CC rewards were the only silver lining for this shit.

I thought my period was starting with pink blood but since I’ve only had icky brown discharge. I just want to get on to my next chance.

Mine has done that from the get-go. My first retrieval, it made sense to use cards between opening bonuses and cash back, but for the second round it was cheaper to pull from savings. Annoying!

I think CD1 is finally here. I am having the worst period cramps I’ve had in a year.
