----- 2IF Weekly Check-In -----

Cycle Status:

QOTW: There are 108 days left until Christmas. How do you feel about many stores already having Christmas items on their shelves?

GraceyandTroy

Cycle Status: I'm going in in an hour and a half from now to see how I've been responding to the meds. I'll let you guys know later what they say! I want to find out that I've been responding perfectly to the meds and for them to tell me to trigger in the next day or two. Then DH and I will get to get extra busy and make a baby. Obviously that's the hope!


QOTW: Well, it's been 102° for the last couple days, so I actually don't mind the Christmas stuff on store shelves. It helps me pretend that it's not miserably hot outside.

Cycle status  =  DE IVF cycle #1 officially in progress.   Currently in lupron phase and alternating between wanting to stick a fork in someone's head and using it to eat everything in sight.  Donor has her baseline AFC on Wednesday and then starts stims.

So excited for you!!!

Trying to figure out what to do this cycle....either TI or IUI. DH is willing to do IUI again (despite the negative experience with the clinic the last go around) but we're both still upset about it....so I'm considering asking about doing TI with progesterone support. We also will be away for roughly when O may happen so don't know if it's worth chancing wasting the cycle.

I haven't seen Christmas stuff yet luckily!

CD 24, I feel a BFN coming on

I do mostly homemade Christmas so I don't really care one way or the other what the stores have because I make my own holiday stuff with supplies from the craft store, and home depot, and good will, and....I may have a crafting problem. 



Edited because I have the dumb

Cycle update: cd2 finally, didn't think AF was going to show because I wanted her to. We decided to do another DS IUI cycle while waiting for IVF. I have been such an emotional mess the last 2 days.

QOTW: I love dreaming about the decorations but when it comes down to it no ambition to actually decorate or store the stuff. Though it is way to early for Christmas stuff, let's get through Halloween first

I trigger tomorrow evening and ER is Thursday AM. Unfortunately ET won't be for another 2 months because I'm doing PGD.

QOTD: I am Jewish, don't observe Christmas and can't wait until December 26 when I don't feel so removed from mainstream culture. The Grinch and I could be best friends.

Status is sometime before O/just finished AF. DH has his follow-up S/A on Wednesday so maybe I'll start tracking/charting again when we get those results.

I ignore Christmas the best I can until the day after Thanksgiving. One holiday at a time for me!! That said, I am excited for Fall and the Holiday season. I just love it and I need something to look forward to!!

CD 10 of a benched cycle. motherfucking cysts better have cleared up on tomorrow's u/s. i might blow something up. or take @jimbobcooter 's fork and stab someone.  

i LOVE LOVE LOVE christmas, everything about it. starting the day after thanksgiving. i get super fucking pissed if i hear christmas music BEFORE thanksgiving. it sends me into a rage. like, for real. i don't mind seeing stuff on the shelf, like @graceyandtroy it's been ungodly hot this last week and i am looking for a change of seasons. but seriously people, not cool to go right from halloween to christmas.

Cycle Status: CD4 (Doing a clomid/trigger/b2b IUI/ HSG cycle) 

QOTW: There are 108 days left until Christmas. How do you feel about many stores already having Christmas items on their shelves? I feel like there is not enough time until Christmas.

CD 26- s/p IUI and going for bloodwork Thursday. 

I hate when Christmas stuff shows up this early. I am trying to hang on to the last bit of summer. I don't want to be reminded that Christmas is in three months. 

BookishMomma

Cycle Status: Pretty sure I'm 1dpo due to my temp jump this morning and other signs. This is our last cycle (hopefully!) TTA. 

QOTW: I am a total Grinch. It's too early for Christmas decor and music until Thanksgiving.

CD-- doesn't matter I'm on BCPs.  Still haven't heard back from clinic with my official calendar yet.  I'm getting a little annoyed.  Even though it's most likely at the end of October I want to make sure I don't have any commitments during that day that week!

I made a decision that we are going to proceed with IUI rather than TI....because of the weather. Haha. Ridiculous huh? Well given it's snowing in parts of the country, I figure that I don't want to be commuting for cycle monitoring in super crappy weather so let's just get this show on the road and give the best chance. I'm still optimistic I guess about one of the next few cycles. Trying to put in positive energy at least. DH is really helpful with that.

 

lawmom747

Cycle Status:  On BCP for now.  Hysteroscopy yesterday went well.  If ultrasound and bloodwork on the 19th look good, I'll be starting meds for IVF cycle on the 22nd - with retrieval anticipated Oct 2/3/4. 

QOTW:  I must admit that I've started picking up some Christmas gifts for DD already.  But as for the Christmas decorations, music, etc - I agree with PP - not until after Thanksgiving.

efhoping2010

Cycle Status: No real update hoping to pretest for IVF/ICSI #4 ODWU maybe in October?  DH is interviewing for a new position out in the rockies this week so we may be moving.

QOTW:  I like the winter holidays so I do not mind the early decorations, we celebrate Chrissmanukah in our household .

CD 20. AF should begin within the week (though we did TTC on our own this cycle I'm not hopeful) then it's on to our FET. Thinking good thoughts!

I don't decorate my house as well as I should. I'm just so busy with work. Next lifetime I guess.
