Re: *Third-Party Reproduction Check-in* Oct 12
I am cycling for iui #3 with DS. I am on clomid cd3-cd7, gonal f injection cd9 and trigger on cd12. I over stimulated on iui #2 so I'm praying hard that this is the one! I feel like I have a whole different attitude about it all and really am feeling positive.
QOTW: what is this word you talk about? Exercise??? Ha! With 5 screws in one knee there is not much one can do. However, I love to travel and can walk for hours in new cities. So waking is my favorite and anything that involves the word step would be my least favorite.
Have a great week!!
I'm 32+4 today. Last night was rough-- lots of aches/pains that made sleep difficult,. This belly prevents me from doing much and as much as I love these babies, I'm looking forward to having outside babies. I have a NST on Tuesday and am curious to see if I'm contracting. A few more weeks, a few more weeks. What's that compared to over 4 years to get here, right?
Hmmm, exercise? I honestly can't wait until I can actually move again. I'm an elliptical girl. I detested hot yoga the one time I went!

Hi!
I had my WTF last week and learned my protocol will be changed for my next FET. I will have another hysteroscopy in a couple of weeks. I guess I will be doing a stimulated cycle. I'm not familiar with that, so I will ask more questions at my next appointment.
I don't love exercise, but I like Zumba and Jazzercise.
Have a great week!

Good luck to you @Thespis7
@TRexsMum - I'm glad to hear your friend & baby are ok! It must be reassuring to have your bag packed even if it is early.
@Mrs.McIrish - I love your attitude and perspective (comparison of the next few weeks and the past four years). I hope you can find some comfort as you get closer and closer to your delivery!
@refeek1 - how interesting that you will be doing a stim cycle for your next FET. I might have heard of something similar to this on the IF board. Something about getting the body to take over the work of producing the lining rather than relying on the meds for that part... have you had lining issues in the past? Either way, good luck & keep us posted!!
@mm29 - I have everything crossed for you!!!!
Praying unceasingly for a miracle. ALL welcome!
we're just plugging away here...Simone is 8 weeks on Thursday!!! Seems like so much longer since she was born! I am loving my time with her and even though 8 of my 20 weeks,are unpaid, I'm so grateful I took the whole time off. Can't get it back later...and so so worth it.
I'm still struggling with milk supply
She's up to 10 lbs. 12 oz. - almost two pounds more than birth weight! Shots next Wed. And we can expand our outings a bit more. I got my flu shot at my post partum visit last week (all healed up and back to normal btw, yay!) We started our PEPS group last week too. Nice people and really glad we're doing it.
QOTW: Haha! Did I ever tell you all that I taught Bik.ram hot yoga for several years!? I had a complete love/hate with it but went to his yoga hell teacher training (9 weeks, two hot yoga classes a day, plus lectures and clinics from 7 am to midnight daily all week). But, it was a pretty amazing accomplishment for me at the time. In general though, hot yoga changed my life for the better on a deep level so I'm super grateful for it even though i had to stop due to hip issues after a,very solid five years of regular practice.
I did regular prenatal yoga,all through my pregnancy and I truly believe it helped me be strong for labor/pushing. I went to 10am yoga before my noon induction!! Yoga in general is my favorite, second is walking.
I loathe running. Nothing was ever harder or more defeating for me, though for a while i ran 3 miles regularly and had moments where I "got it" and can see why people love it, its just not for me!
Me (43) and J (45) - same sex couple. And we don't feel 40+!

EDD 8/20/14 with a baby girl!
Little S was born on 8/21/14 - 8lb, 14 oz and 20 inches long.
We live in Seattle and used SRM for our donor egg IVF cycle
QOTW: What is your favorite/least favorite form of exercise? I used to train all the time for triathlon, yoga, barre, cross fit. But I have been super sedentary the past few months. I have been extra careful so far during this pregnancy (think coach potato) but I did start walk/running yesterday and it felt great! I want to try prenatal yoga and maybe easy biking & swimming. I'm 41 with a recurring loss history so I am beyond paranoid.
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
QOTW: I enjoy doing Zumba and walking. I want to love running but can't seem to breathe right!

Long, hard week for me.
We transferred our last embryo Thursday after the 1st embryo that had been thawed was not viable.
This was our 1st cycle with immune treatment and I can't help but feel we were cheated out of having a fighting chance. I thought if this FET failed, we could do 1 more FET with this new protocol later this year. That hope was taken away from us very quickly and unexpectedly, so I'm really struggling with all of it.
I'm looking into seeing a reproductive immunologist. unfortunately, my insurance will not cover any of it. I have absolutely no idea how we will even try again; a 3rd fresh DE/DS cycle just isn't an option again.
Qotw: I used to be really into jogging, but I'm having a hard time getting motivated to even go for a walk lately. I do love spinning too

Hugs to everyone. I love how there is true respect & support on this board. I don’t see that on to many of the other boards that I frequent, which makes this board even more of a special gem.
--
We are 22w1d. Thanks to the Bump app for pointing out that we only have 18 weeks left – so much to do to get ready! Went for our 21 week A/S last week. Everything is progressing right on schedule. LO played along & let us see that we are having a little girl. Which is funny, cause we were all convinced it was a boy. While in the elevator heading up to the doctor’s office, we were talking about placing those last minute bets, a woman walked into the elevator, looked at our GC, and said “It’s a boy”. Too funny. When the tech made the announcement, our GC & I did a big high 5 and made her check a few more times, just to be sure. Now to come up with a name. DH & I are really good playing “names to torture your children with”, so now we have to get serious.
Found out a few weeks ago that our ED is already cycling again. Kind of neat to think LO may have a sibling out there at some point. I wonder if she will do a round three?
QOTW – My favorite form of exercise right now walking. (Especially when traveling or shopping J.) I was a dancer (ballet tap & jazz) in a former life, so I enjoy that form the most). Spin class would be my least favorite form of exercise. I tried a very early morning spin class once & about fell off the bike. Did give the instructor some major comic relief.

QOTW: I need to google hot yoga since I have never heard of it! I use to belong to a gym back in the day. No more. I really don't like to exercise! We have an elliptical in our basement we bought last yr and I have yet to step on it. My plantar fasciitis is always acting up on top of my leg issues and me being on my feet for 10 hr days I just can't think of coming home and working out. Yep always an excuse with me
