Re: ****September Sweet Peas Check In 8-19-14****
Hello Sweet Peas!

Good luck to everyone, hoping we all have successful cycles.
I am seeing the RE on Thursday to get my meds and really get this show on the road. Not 100% sure of what to expect, but all these threads have somewhat prepared me so thank you very much.
Want to share a quote I read recently:
"Was it you or I who stumbled first? It does not matter. The one of us who finds the strength to get up first, must help the other."
I trust we will be this for each other.
QOTD: Lots of catching up over a couple of drinks!
I started Lupron on Saturday, take my last BCP tomorrow, b/w and u/s Thursday and start minivelle patches Sunday. I am so excited I feel like I'm counting down the days until Christmas!

My Chart
~~ALL WELCOME~~
I see many of you get estimated dates. Lucky! I get a vague calendar with ranges and a "we'll see".
I'm happy to see you are my kind of people. I love wine!
Last BCP tomorrow, then waiting for AF to start stims.
Good luck to all!
QOTW: I'm lucky to have some girlfriends who prioritize getting away from family commitments for a weekend or so a year and we just do extreme sports. Whitewater rafting, ziplining, mountain climbing, waterfall rappelling. We don't mess around. Then the rest of the year we lament why we aren't better at Pinterest projects while having dinner and wine.
2013: BFP #1 - M/C 3/13
2015: Dance break = got healthy
7/2016: IVF #5 = BFP!!!
I started Lupron yesterday! I take my last bcp tomorrow, so excited! Ugh, tonight I dropped my 10 iu syringe of Lupron on my floor... I have the 14 day kit, so I'm hoping I don't need to refill an entire kit to make up for the dose I dropped.. I'm such an idiot sometimes.. I wasn't even surprised it happened.
Thinking positive for everyone of the September ladies, there's so many of us!!
Qotw: I love multiple bottles of wine and snacks at someone's house with a few of my friends! Nothing beats the laughter that happens!
I start week 2 of BCP tomorrow. Lupron is scheduled for 8/31.
QOTW: love to just have dinner and catch up!
Me 30/DH 31 Married in June 2003. TTC since 2008. M/c in Nov. 2008. D/x: DOR and MFI 5 cycles of IUI in 2010. IVF #1 in Nov. 2011. ER 11/22. ET 11/25. BFN.
Anyway, I will take my last BCP on Monday. So glad. I hate BCP, they make me very congested for some reason, and that's about the last thing I need.
Is anyone else on estrogen shots? I mentioned to my RE after my last FET that it seemed like everyone else is on patches, but they prescribed IM shots every 3 days for me. She said they found it worked best, but it still seems weird to me.
QOTD: Love wine too! Mostly love hanging out drinking and watching movies.

**Signature Warning**
QOTD: I this group of girlfriends, they are a lot of fun. They are always coordinating fun get togethers like Canvas and Cocktails ( you drink while the instructed gives you step by step instructions on how to make the painted picture of that day, super fun even for the artistically challenged). Sometimes we go to a jewelry making boutique and make jewelry. Other times it's a bar or wine tasting (if no one is pregnant lol). I love my girls nights!
