---- 2IF Weekly Check-in ----

sailorgal

GraceyandTroy for all the weekly check-ins. And I apologise in advance if my QOTW suck - feel free to make suggestions. 

Cycle Status:

QOTW: White snowy Christmas or bright sunny sand? Which would be your perfect place to be for the holidays? (if you don't celebrate Christmas, tell us about what you and your family celebrate this time of year). 

Jodee37

i'll miss @graceyandtroy but you will rock this check-in @sailorgal!  

CD 5 of pre-IVF cycle. go away AF. cycling at the end of this month!!!

QOTW: i WISH we could have snow in Southern CA, but it's mostly sunny sand christmas. last year we were in shorts sweating. NOT my ideal christmas weather. i would love to be in the mountains, bundled up, sipping spiked hot chocolate and singing christmas tunes at the top of my lungs.

CD 13, had my last iui today. I had 23mm and 19mm follies with a 13mm (!!!) lining. RE says best cycle ever, so we'll see.

Qotd: snow!! We had snow on Christmas in 2008, and I loved it. It was so perfect. I wish we could have it every year.

Flamingemu

QOTW: Snow! I love me some white, sandy beaches and would prefer to be there 95% of the time. There is just something about wanting snow around the holidays.

I dont post too often so might not have a right to update but you all helped me with my previous follistim question and I am thankful for the info I read on here. Much prefer sand and sun! But it doesnt feel like christmas without sweaters and cold. Update: in middle of 2WW, go in Friday to see if my November cycle on follistim worked. If it did, wont really feel like we are out of the clear until after 8'week mark when we would normlly MC.

@GraceyandTroy‌ is awesome at this, but I'm sure you'll make her proud, @sailorgal‌!

Status: Last break cycle before trying some treatment cycles!

QOTW: for the holidays, bring on the beautiful snow! Then send me to hot sun and sand in February.

CD 13, I trigger tomorrow and then have my IUI on Saturday.  I only have one follicle so I am pretty bummed about that.  For some reason I was hoping that since it has been almost 6 months since my last medicated cycle that I would have an amazing response.  I am trying to stay positive but I'm not very good at that anymore.

QOTW:  I couldn't imagine being somewhere sunny and warm for Christmas. I wish we got more snow where I live.

CD 15. TI this month.

White I'd guess. We spent 1 Christmas in FL and it was beyond weird to me.

CD 7 on Gonal F with lead follicle plus 3 potential and lots of littles so they are getting a bit nervous. And here we thought and hoped we would have just one good strong one.

A snowy Christmas is magical but we are almost always in sun and sand. And quite frankly I'll take the warmth when I can!

Back on BCPs until right before Christmas

QOTW: I would prefer a white Christmas but I live in NC we never get snow until January and then we make the national news!

Thanks for doing this, @GraceyandTroy, and for taking over, @sailorgal.

Day 7 of stims here.  Only 5 follicles >10 at today's ultrasound, so not feeling happy.  Apparently there are several that are only a little smaller, so they better catch up!

I would gladly trade with all you white Christmas people.  I would honestly be just fine if I never saw snow again.  Unfortunately I live in Chicago, so that's--not likely.

hang in there lady, ovaries will surprise you. we thought we were only going to have 7 good-sized ones at the time of ER and we got 9. you still have a few more days of stim, think positive! fx for you!

ETA: i can't math

I think I'm 1DPO today on cycle 24, cycle 4 ttcal.  I'm waiting for 7dpo labs and AMH.  Just chillin.

QOTW: Definitely snowy.  The holidays are about the only time I cheer for snow.  And then I start dreaming of spring.

@kikimo327, graceyandtroy is okay; she is just taking a step back from TB.

CD 27. I am spotting so I know I am out- but I officially test tomorrow. Guess I didn't have to be worried about my five follicles since they all apparently sucked. Next step is a saline hystogram because they saw a "shadow" on my ultrasound that is either an artifact or a polyp. I don't know why they didn't see this potential polyp on other ultrasounds. Then we start talking about IVF. 

I live in NY and I hate snow if I have to get to work so I am tempted to say sun and beach for Christmas. However, I lived in CA for five years and I have to say that being warm at Christmas was a very strange experience for me! So I guess cold is okay but not snow that is going to mess up my plans.

Nothing new here, December is out for the pre IVF testing for IVF/ICSI #4. 

Praying that January is the month for this all to start, maybe my anniversary present?

QOTW: Snow, love snow, we live in the mountains now and I am loving it!

i'm seriously bummed for you!

Davie813

I'm sorry, @efhoping 2010.  FX everything works out just right in January.

PGwithNo3

Cycle Status:  Waiting to do IUI #4.  This will be it for us for a while.  I really hope it works.  We may do another IUI in 2015 later or or we may try IVF or we may just call it quits.

QOTW: White snowy Christmas!

Cycle Status: CD 11 of natural cycle.  Looking for new doc.  

QOTW: Snowy!! Maybe because I am stuck in Chicago area so might as well make the best of it - there will be a lot of it! @Davie813, I didn't know I had a fellow Chicagoian (Although I am suburbs).  In which part of Chicago do you live?

Hey, fellow Chicagoan! I live in the Bucktown/Logan Square area. What suburb (or general vicinity) are you from?

lilmac2929

@Davie813‌ Oh very cool! I love that area! I'm in Downers Grove so about 16 miles west. .

It is nice, but we probably won't be here too much longer. We're looking to move out a bit further west (for the schools, among other things.)

oooooh can I play this game now? 

CD 7, first round of Fermara. It's giving me horrible nausea and I have lost my appetite But I am trying to suck it up. 

We just got back from a hot and sunny destination and it was awesome... but I prefer Christmas in the snow
