Sorry ladies - I didn't realize it was Wednesday (sleep deprivation).

Lets hear it! How is everyone doing?

Hi Momma!!  I was hoping you'd be here today

I'm still trying to figure out how to PIP.  My frustration has gone to a whole new level.  I didn't even realize it was possible to be this upset about something.  Nothing I do works and I can't see a damn thing most other people post.  I have to go on my phone and see what people are posting.  Which brings me to another point.  When I post from  my phone, it shows my real name!  Even though I'm logged in as BeeBee08.  I give up.

Other than that I'm good, LOL.

Hope you're all well!

Firstly I have to say once again how incredibly happy I am for you Rachel!!!!  You are an inspiration to us all!

I’ve been keeping under the radar lately.  I just haven’t had much positivity to spread around.  As strange as it seems part of me would have somehow felt more positive if something more concrete was found in the latest round of tests.  

Anyway, it looks like our FET will be the beginning of October.  At this point I feel completely apathetic about it but at least an end is in sight.

Not much new here... Just did first estradiol valerate shot last night and it was super easy. Still nervous for PIO next week.

Not much here either....two nights into the PIO and already to be done with it, ha!! FET approaching and I'm getting the heebie jeebies all over again at the thought of having to face yet another BFN. It's really making me think I'm a crazy person for still going through all this, LOL

I had my pre-op appt yesterday and all is a go for surgery next Wednesday. I still wish they could do it at my clinic instead of the hospital, the nurses and staff at my clinic are just awesome, but that's just not going to happen. I did get moved up to the first case for the day (yay!) so I don't have to wait til 11am

PA - Congrats again, I hope motherhood is treating you well.

Still here. (Im)patiently waiting for our first ultrasound on Friday. I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, nerves, excitement and hope.

Best if luck, Kflynn! Hope this is it!

Hi ladies!  I posted my update separately, but I am PUPO!  So far I have taken 2 naps and eaten ice cream on the couch.  I'd say things are going pretty well  

Hope everyone has a great night!

Hey everyone! We had an u/s today and both babies have a heartbeat of 115. We also found 2 sch. I'm told they're small and I'm not having any bleeding but they still want me to restrict my activity and take it as easy as possible. I get checked by the re Fri & go back to the ri weds.

I love all the amazing updates today! 

GL to everyone cycling!

Congrats again pretty accountant on the beautiful little one! Such an inspiration! We leave next Friday for my ODWU with ccrm. I actually haven't thought about it much at all. We have a fun weekend plan with 12 friends going rafting and camping so I've been focused on that instead. I think I've reached a new level in the IF world where I actually have become settled with the fact that we aren't having kids, so if it really actually happens I will be absolutely thrilled. Thankfully, for my own peace of mind, it's not something I expect to happen anymore. So, for once, I'm not nervous or anxious or researching every detail. Whatever happens, happens.

Great attitude J&D!! Good luck in CO! I hope they treat you well and all goes easily! Give us some updates when you can!!

Yay megs!!! Sounds like you got two little strong ones in there!!! Hopefully the sch will clear and you won't have any bleeds !! So happy for you!!

Hi everyone! I'm a day late, oops! I hope everyone is doing well.

GL J&D!

I had my baseline appt this morning with the most incompetent nurses on earth. The same ones who told me I had no pregnancy last cycle when I did. I swear I have a sign on my forehead that says "If you're incompetent, play a big part in my cycle, please." First issue: I guess someone didn't put my appointment in the system and I showed up and they were like "oh we didn't know you were coming today!" Ugh.

During my u/s, one pointed out my pathetic ovaries  with only 2 follicles (thanks, makes me feel great to hear how crappy they are) and told me that I'm good to start gonadotropins tomorrow. What? I had to correct her and say "I'm doing a frozen cycle." Oops. And last, they were like "Where is your husband to sign the consents?" No one told me he was supposed to come. They also said "Where is your signed embryo contract?" Again, no one told me I was supposed to bring it AND I already sent it to them months ago. Gah! I guess I'll get a call in a few hours to let me know if everything looks good to start estarce tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I haven't had my period yet since stopping BCPs but my lining was at 4mm which they think might be fine. I'm a little nervous about it.

Sorry, I'm a day late too! It's so great to hear such good things going on from this group over here!!!

Liz-I'm sorry for all your aggravations with this! How frustrating?!!

I am going in for b/w & u/s tomorrow and am hoping for the green light to start stims on Saturday. We are scheduled to fly out to CO on Wednesday with a tentative ER on Sept.3. 

J&D-GL at the ODWU! 

RPL- I think I remember seeing that you will be out there too for your FET? 

Maybe we can all meet in the lobby of CCRM for a group hug & pep talk.

I am flying out on the 2nd for our FET! Right around the corner. Glad to see lots of updates of progress and success!

I am on BCP for IVF#4.  I am really hoping this one is it.  I have my baseline next thursday.  Other than that not much going on.

Yay for all the updates and successes!

Late here too clearly the country air is getting to me. 

Lo is being a rockstar and has passed all her BPP's and she even has been good to me and is moving more than once a day. Tomorrow is cause for major celebration we made it to 34w and its all gravy from here. I still have a massive yeast infection from stomach to groin and no amount of medicine seems to be helping, I have a feeling my immune system is having a party since I am also having trouble with my mast cells. I also now have blood in my urine so the pregnant girl who told me now that I am pg all my problems go away can go shove it out her who ha. BTW I hate non infertiles they think just because you get KU it makes your memory of the struggle and heartache disappear.

GL J&D

And to those on their way to CCRM I hope they can spin their magic wands for you!
