  • Hello, Blooms! I hope everyone is having a good day - sending {{hugs}} to those who need them!

    I had my baseline yesterday, and everything looks good! Starting follistim tonight, 200 units each evening. I spent an hour this morning playing with the pen and trying to figure it all out. I'm so excited to finally be stimming!! :)

    QOTD: DH took the day off today, so we had a leisurely morning and are now getting started on some projects around the house. We'll be heading out to visit my parents on Sunday night for my dad's birthday, and I have my first monitoring appointment there in town on Monday morning. I'm just trying to take it easy this weekend!

    ETA: So may of us start stims today! GL all around, and yay for cycle buddies! :)

  • My beta was negative today! So now DH and I have to decide if we want to do an FET in June or July. I'd like to stay here until we decide. I can go for monitoring Tuesday to check my lining and follies even if I don't get full AF. I'm spotting now.. If it looks good, then I can get started. I'll keep you updated!

    You may have seen my post about the aquarium. I might be around a million kids this weekend if I feel like I can handle it. We'll see. Otherwise DH and I are just laying low.

    Unfortunately it looks like I won't be starting until July. I just got my beta back and it's 13.7 so there is no way AF is going to start in the next week. Ugh. I thought for sure it would be 0 by 4 weeks post d&c.

  • Hey there, fellow Blooms!

    I've been in microdose lupron all week and I begin stims today. Had a bit of a stressful week at work so did my 1st round of acupuncture for this cycle yesterday. So good.

    Jan. 2013 New RE
    IVF #1 June 2013 MDL Protocol. Converted to IUI#4.1. (High E2 and 3+ mature follicles at first monitoring.) BFFN

  • Still on Lupron, starting estrace tonight. Because as it turned out, I never received it with my previous shipment. Luckily they forwarded the rx to the local cvs, so I only missed this morning's dose.

     Qotd: No plans currently. We were originally entertaining the idea of bbq'ing by the lake, but the weather here will not cooperate.

  • Hi all :)

    I just took my first bcp for our 1st cycle! Yay! Had my baseline labs and US done today. US showed at least 7 follicles on Right and 7 on left. Got a call that my FSH is high though :( 9.1. They do not think it will affect this cycle since I am on 28 but their cutoff is usually 8.1 at my clinic. Soooo I wait...Tues we will hear back from IVF team about our plan. Hoping for a good start :)

     QOTD We are getting together with my husbands parents and finally telling them about our IVF plans. We kept it all quiet until we were officially starting the process. SO that makes for a long weekend full of questions I am sure! 


  • beachy6beachy6 member

    My meds came today. Finally. Dealing with that pharmacy about did me  in! I've heard about the mass amounts of meds that come out of that box, but no one has ever warned about the amount of needles that accompany the meds! That's what freaked me out. 3 1-gallon bags, full of syringes. Wowzers.

     QOTD: We have graduation parties for family to go to and a cook out on Monday planned. My husband is an Iraq vet, so he also marches in our local parade with our local American legion every year. We're pretty patriotic over here :)

    I hope everyone has an amazing and relaxing weekend!
