Hi lovely ladies...I missed last week because I was at the beach...AF also arrived while we were out of town so my IUI with perfect follies and crazy good progesterone was still a bust.  So now we are prepping for IVF...I can.not.believe. we are about to do this and that it has come to this.  ahhhhh!!!!  I was freaking out last week but for some reason this week I feel a lot more calm about it.  I am just so ready for this chapter in our lives to be OVER!!!!

qotw: the walking dead!!!!

I felt the exact same way, like I was living someone else's life. Just take one day at a time and remember to take good care of yourself. I'm not sure how many would have been the right number, over 8 was what we had originally discussed.

@frenchteachermama - I love following this process. It’ll be a pretty darn cool story to tell your rainbow one day.

@rocks526 - ((Hugs)) I know that’s such a relief that your bleeding stopped. 

@myfirstraspberry - That is great news!! What a relief. FX tight for you this cycle!!!!!!

@o2girl - I’m sorry you’re feeling scared about your FET plans. I never realized how complicated all of that is. I am crossing my fingers that everything goes smoothly and that you can remain positive. ((Hugs))!

@rachaeleigh - I’m so sorry this IUI didn’t work. Hoping your RE can give you a hopeful plan for next cycle.

@furrypaws - Good luck at your appointment! I hope you really hit it off with your RE. It is so frustrating waiting around for lab results and I hope it doesn’t take too long. Get it together thyroid!

@lauraneedscoffee - Welcome. My 2nd loss was a cp and it was by far the hardest for me. I think it’s a huge shock because you never think that will happen twice. ((Hugs))

@dawnstar898 - I’m glad you spent the day enjoying yourself. FX for good news from you this cycle. 

That's as far as I can get today. I have a horrible virus and desperately need a nap. I am sending huge hugs to all of you. AFM, I'm 10dpo today and still negative. I have always gotten a positive by this point so I'm feeling out. I'll keep taking progesterone and testing but my guess is I'll be having lots of drinks at the beach for Labor Day.

@holdingouthope I was diagnosed with the same mthfr mutation before TTC.  As our stupid luck would have it, DH is homozygous for the same mutation. In the (almost) year since that diagnosis, I've went between several doctors and done research on my own. Please feel free to PM me if you want to chat.

Hi ladies, I'm sorry for my tardiness, it's been a crazy day. I had some bloodwork done to look at reasons behind my losses today, and I've got an SHG tomorrow... I'm anxious to get it all over with, although won't hear the bloodwork results for at least a week or so. They also took my levels, which I'm hoping are pretty low- I feel like I've been spotting forever since this loss, and it's starting to stress me out a bit (I'm 28 days post).

@Rachaeleigh (((hugs))) sorry this cycle did not work out.  I can only imagine how frustrating it must be.

UGH, I'm so sorry about the BFN.  They always suck but I find them a **tiny** bit easier before occasions like a holiday weekend.  Was this from the same cycle that they weren't sure if you O'd or not?  I am so sorry that you are sick!  Sending you virtual chicken soup!

FTM, thanks a MILLION for taking this on for me this week! You're the best!! Hi, ladies! I apologize for the P&R. I just have so much going on, never mind the 12 hour work days lately! I'm sending hugs and love to you all! My quick update: After apparently having the lightest AF in all of history, it was indeed deemed a "real" AF from the results of my CD3 monitoring today. My nurse just told me to start Clomid and prednisone tonight! Eek!! Long story, but I also found out yesterday from my PCP of all people that I have a MTHFR mutation (details in siggy). Cue freak-out on my part. After talking with my RE again this am, we decided I don't need to jump to Lovenox but she did write me a script for Folgard to add to my medicinal arsenal. So that's what's going on now! I will take my Gonal-F injection on Tuesday next week and go back for monitoring on Thursday!

OMG!  Yay for starting your first medicate cycle!!  That is crazy about finding out about the MTHFR mutation!  There are so many women on the board with the same mutation and everyone says that their doctors say it isn't a cause of their miscarriages, what did your doc say?

I know, right?? Definitely hoping I'm well enough to have some drinks this weekend. Yes, this is the same cycle. I still don't really know if I ovulated because I've had a fever on and off for two weeks! At least AF will come when I stop progesterone. Meeting with my RE on Tuesday. Thanks for the chicken soup!

Sorry this is a post and run but life has been hectic this week.  XP below from Sept Sapphires checkin:

Hi ladies. Unfortunately, my temp drop earlier this week did not signal AF. It was either a fluke or user error with the BBT so I'm still waiting for AF to show. So frustrating! I wasn't great about taking my temp this cycle so I don't think FF picked the right day for my O date so it's hard to predict when AF should arrive. Any day now...

I'm sorry I've been MIA but work has been crazy and my DH has come down with the chicken pox (he apparently never had it as a kid and we have no idea where he got it from). I've been working like crazy and having to take care of him and all our normal house stuff. Also, DH had a very unexpected death in his family. The circumstances are very tragic and there are tons of loose ends, etc that need to be handled so I've been pretty preoccupied trying to help my ILs figure things out while DH is delirious with fever. It's been an awesome week. Please pass the wine!

The PGD testing went out the window because of how few eggs we collected.  There is always a small chance that you could lose some eggs during the testing process and my doctor didn't think it was worth the expense.  It adds up to almost $4K when all is said and done.  We're going to just cross our fingers that getting eggs is my problem not the quality of my eggs.  

I'm so happy AF showed up on it's own and you are able to move one step closer to the next step in your journey!!!  Just one more AF and you start right?

Oh, that makes sense. Good, I was worried about you losing some of your precious embies! And, yes, you are correct. Just one more AF until I start IUI. My cycles tend to be on the short side (24-ish days) lately, so I'm hoping that's the case this month and we can move on soon.

It got canceled my hcg is still at 2000 (28 days post m/c ugh) so they decided to wait. They did an u/s and my uterus is pretty clear, so wtf body?! So frustrated, and a bit concerned my levels are still so high.

mara005

@lauraO11 -  Come on body!



Sorry you're going through this!
