Re: ~~ 2IF Weekly Check In (1/6/15) ~~
Cycle Update: CD3. DH and I are at a crossroads. We had a consultation appointment with the RE about IVF. We decided to take this month off to think about it and do some soul-searching and lots of talking. If we decide to proceed, then we'll start an IVF cycle in February. But we're still not sure if we want to do that. This is the hardest decision I've ever had to face. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. I hate that it's even a thing. But here we are, weighing our finances, our age, the risks, the effect it could all have on our existing child, and so much more... I wish we had limitless resources, or another decade to get financially healthier and have children... but we don't. So... there we are.
QotW: My new year's resolution is to lose some weight. If I don't get pregnant, then I'm committed to drop about 40 - 50 pounds this year. Alternatively, as much as I can lose before getting pregnant, then that would have to be put on hold.

I was finally starting estrogen patches for FET prep to prepare my lining in case we need to do an untested transfer either day 3 or 5 in case my SER eggs didn't grow well for PGS testing as planned. I have 16 frozen on day 1 @ the 2PN stage, and we just have no clue if they will do well or not. Anyhow, I was on lupron for weeks and then started estrogen patches last Friday and lowered the lupron from 20cc to 5cc and I apparently broke through the suppression. Now this cycle has been cancelled and I am taking provera to induce a period and start over. We also increased my lupron. It should only push back the cycle by a 10 days or two weeks, but it is still annoying as I have been waiting months to know if my eggs will grow or not. My body never can do anything right..... so annoying!
QOTW: I am starting the 21 day fix on Monday. I want to lose another 10-15 lbs and have been stalled with weight loss lately. I figure this will keep me busy until I can take my embies out of the freezer at the end of the month.
QOTW: I don't have a set resolution but I would like to exercise more and lose some weight and I would really love to not let all this baby stuff get to me the way it sometimes does. I know I am entitled to get upset and such but I wish I didn't always allow it to get as bad as it sometimes does. I'd also love to keep my house a bit neater.
Cycle Status: Prepping for a FET on 1/27. I am on Estrace for now and I am trying my best not to focus on everything because this is our one and only shot.
Wishing everyone the best! I didn't do a resolution this year because I already have enough pressure... haha.
