  • Hi ladies! Best of luck to all of you. 

    You can remove me from the list, unfortunately. I went in for my baseline check yesterday to start the stims but they found a cyst and I only had two microfollicles. So, they cancelled the cycle. We'll wait for the next month. I am pretty bumped especially because of the news of two microfollicles. I hope that this was unique to this cycle and that I'll have more next month. Otherwise I am quickly moving to the donor egg direction, which I am not sure whether I am ready for.

    The good news is that Dr. KK bumped up my appointment to next week (from Sept 29). I am flying to Chicago next week and hopefully we can get everything sorted out quickly for a successful cycle.

  • Giants721 erbear84 Welcome!!! I have added you to the list of Sweet Peas :) 

    @erbear84 hope your dh's aspiration goes well... my dh will be having his second tese surgery this September (he's thrilled) lol. 

    Looks like most of us are waiting on AF and in the priming stage. I'm thankful there isn't any estrogen priming for me this cycle.. I swear I go crazy on it. It also looks like we all are Wine-O's!!

  • @zeynsom so sorry. I'm having my 2nd biopsy this Friday and really dreading it since the first one hurt so much! Glad to finally be moving though.
    Ready to take the road less traveled. 
  • Hi Sweet Peas!

    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.

    Hey sweet peas!! 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!
    There's a LOT of lupron in that little vial. My last attempted transfer was canceled, but I got to the end of the lupron part and still had plenty left. I don't know what your protocol is, exactly, but I'd be willing to bet you'll be just fine.

    Ahhh! Thank you for saying that! Hopefully I can compose myself from here on out:)

  •   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.


    I will be on these too and was wondering if anyone else was.  I've never done them before, though I've never done a FET before either.  Where I go that's what they use for their FET protocol. I'm still waiting on the 1ml syringes though.  Apparently that size is very confusing to pharmacies.

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!

  • kittenmittens9  (Warning: BFP mentioned) Same here with it being their protocol.  My RE mentioned that she would be willing to try the patches if I really wanted to, but I decided that since it resulted in a positive the last time I didn't want to mess with it too much.  I found that the IM shots were no worse than the IM progesterone.  The main problem with both being that I can't inject them myself if I have to, so my husband and I have to coordinate schedules for awhile.
