So this was the first DIY cycle since IVF5, I had high hopes at the start then towards the end it's more of *who am I kidding?*!
I did a CD3 blood test (luckily I had an appointment at my dr on CD2 so I managed to get the paper work for a CD3 test), this didn't include my AMH but I'm happy to say my LH & FSH seemed a little better;
September FSH=12.9 & LH=7.4
December FSH=6.4 & LH=3.4.
The best bit was my prolactine, it's gone from 678 down to 516, the only change is I'm not as stressed now mum got the all clear (we got the news she was clear just as I got home from egg collection in November 😊), I decided not to bother reducing how much I breastfeed LO, she'll naturally want less as she grows.
I started DIY injections of menopur (150) on CD3 - so after the blood test, didn't want the injections interfering with the results! I missed CD4 by mistake but continued from CD5-CD10.
I stopped at CD10 as I've had OPK peaks on CD9/10 on the previous few natural cycles, and I didn't want to keep injecting when my body might naturally be gearing up to peak....
I didn't peak, WTF!
Tests from top are Cd10; CD11 (hpt by mistake 😂 ); CD12; CD12; CD13; CD14; CD14; CD15; CD15; CD16

So, now I have no idea if I ovulated or not.... I started my usual progesterone on CD18, so 2 days after I did my final ovulation test. I'm not feeling very hopeful, however it doesn't stop my from POAS, honestly it's an addiction!!!!
I got a flipping evap today on a preg test argh!
Top a few days ago, bottom is from 3rd pee this morning.
I'm CD25 and who knows how many days past 'ovulation', what ovulation?!
I'd like to hold out for another 48 hours before testing again, but it's much more likely I'll piss on another stick later this afternoon lol!
I really want this, I switched myself off from the IVF cycle to help avoid any disappointment/pain, but I REALLY, REALLY want this so much I don't think we will stop ttc when I had planned (2019 when I turn 40), if we don't get out bfp/thb we'll have to keep going until our IVF cut off of 42....
