Cycle Status: 

QOTW: IKEA, love it or hate it and why. I ask because I'm going there today.

Cycle Status: CD5...Letrozole 5 mg, IUI cycle.

QOTW: IKEA, love it or hate it and why.: Hate. I find so much of it is just so darn cheap and difficult to put together. I love many of their designs, just don't find the quality good enough.

ScarletBegonia79

CD 31, natural.

hate. i saw something on the news last week about how their "perfect rooms" are digitally altered and unattainable. and that stuff is a B to put together. i like the prices though, but i would rather pay more and not waste hours of my life.

Cycle status: 7DPO in our last cycle TTA. I tend to have a short LP when I'm not on progesterone (and I'm not taking it now), so I'm expecting AF sometime this week. Then I call the RE to get the ball rolling for our first ever medicated + IUI cycle. After being benched for 5 months, due to D&C and bitch-ass retained tissue followed by surgery & hormone therapy, I CAN'T WAIT to burn the bench!

QOTW: I flipping love Ikea, as does my entire family. It's DH's personal hell. 

eta: I love Ikea because I love organizing shit, and there are so many organizational supplies there. Pretty canisters, boxes, baskets... I'm salivating thinking about it. But on every trip there is at least one thing I buy that doesn't work out. And Ikea is 3 hours away from my house, so I never get around to returning it. So I just call the one regretted purchase I have every time my "Ikea tax." Happens without fail. Also, I'm a freak and I actually like putting stuff together. It's just how my brain works and I find it relaxing, but only if I'm putting something together on my own and DH doesn't come in and try to "help" (i.e., screw it up).

Status - still fricking waiting on work to return my messages to schedule surgery. This is getting ridiculous and I am about to start messaging every person I can find connected to the questions I have. I know all my benefits answers, I have a few certifications I need to complete this fall and can't work on them while on STD. Ugh.

Ikea - love it and hate it. I only go as soon as they open (well a few minutes before). There are less people in the way while you are planning your furniture configuration and the lines are shorter. Later in the day I want to pull out my hair.

CD: 2dpo natural cycle (with a trigger shot LOL). if BFN this cycle we are a go for IVF! cysts cleared woot woot!

IKEA. fucking love it. fucking hate putting that shit together. if someone else would construct it my whole house would be IKEA shit.

CD 32, or possibly 1 depending if the spotting changes to AF.

The only thing I've ever owned from ikea are those giant blue bags, but they rock for everything!

designer303

CD beats the fuck outta me, cysts are still massive and showing no signs of leaving, starting provera today to try and convince AF to make an appearance and clear this shit out. Fun times!!

IKEA I used to love it and a lot of our condo is ikea, but I don't think we will be buying IKEA for the new house.

CD 3- First IUI was a bust so gearing up for IUI # 2 with clomid and follistim. 

I have really never shopped at IKEA. DH looked in to getting bookcases from there but then decided against it when he read reviews that they were impossible to assemble. 

GraceyandTroy

I had to post a run earlier, and I almost forgot to come back and answer my own Check-in!

Cycle status: Screw You!  Oh, uh, I mean.  I don't really know.  I was doing Bravelle for TI, but I didn't respond.  My darn ovaries are like, "Nope."  So, I guess I'll just wait it out and see what happens.  I don't have any clue at all what will happen this cycle or how long it will last.  So, yeah.

QOTW: I don't mind IKEA.  I think it's fun to go walk around.  I like to use the toilets in the demo rooms and yell and ask someone to bring me toilet paper.  Lol.  J/K.  But I do have a good amount of IKEA stuff in my house. Some stuff is over priced, some is a good deal.  I enjoy the occasion stroll through their strange little city.  I god a few good things today.  Toddle plates and picture frame.

CD11, tentatively triggering Weds night, IUI thurs / fri

I can take or leave IKEA, there is one 5 mins from me, which happens to be NEXT DOOR to my REs office. I've gone there a couple times, but it's never become my go to place. Meh. 

Steph1673

CD5 I guess. Surprisingly my period was crampless (out of character), just heavier than usual which was probably the result of the F'n CP. Beta scheduled for Wed to make sure it went negative before we discuss next cycle options.

IKEA is great if you do it right! Not all IKEA is created equal, but DD's crib was from there. $99 and rated one of the safest around, assembled and reassembled during a bi-state move and still sturdy as a rock. Low profile, modern just our style. $12 end tables, however, were great for my first place, but would collapse with little force. I lived in Chicago, with access to two IKEAs, for 7 years so I'm happy that one is getting built next year in our current city. Maybe I'll have a 2015 nursery to fill by then. A girl can dream.

Frenchteachermama

CD ??

Still on BCPs and still no official calendar for my FET  I called the office last week and the nurse said FET would most likely be October 27th or 28th.  

QOTW:  Love love love IKEA.  DH hates it.

Status: 9 DPIUI.  anxious to POAS this weekend

IKEA- I wish we had one closer.   I've only been a few times, but our living room has a large bookshelf/entertainment system that we pieced together from there.  Also, my son's favorite stuffed animal came from there-- I bought a second one once I realized it was going to be so loved.

Cycle Status: CD 39  8-|

This is the longest cycle I've had since we started TTC #2.  I had taken a HPT around CD 28, which was a BFN.  Waited until today to test again, even though I haven't really felt any different... BFN again.  I wasn't especially hopeful, but jeez, AF, let's get this show on the road!  I have a thousand dollars worth of meds just sitting around waiting on you!

QOTW:  I've never been to Ikea.  The closest one is three hours away.

CD mother fucking ONE!!! FET cycle is on! We decided to transfer 1 embryo this time but I'm nervous about this decision and the whole thing being a bust. Then again loosing another twin would kill me, so 1 it is. I find out more about dates on Thursday when I I my CD3 bloods.

IKEA: I used to love it when I lived closer to one and was single decorating my apartment. Now, not so much. My taste has gotten more expensive so we are stuck with our furniture until we make more $ to afford what I want.

Bananappeal145

Update, finally CD 1 today. It only took two damn days to get going. Does that happen to anyone else. I'll spot from 2-4 days before I get my actual period. I've mentioned it to the RE but she doesnt seem too concerned about it but I don't think it's quite right.

efhoping2010

Cycle Status: We are definitely moving and FAR for DH's new job.  But we will have actually have health benefits no more private insurance YAY.  Hoping this includes some kind of IVF coverage, IVF medicine coverage, IVF pretesting, PESA coverage, something?????  Praying we can have our ODWU IVF #4 pretesting after we move, so maybe November????

QOTW: Ikea, good food, fun place to walk around, some fun toys for little ones.  Our dining room table from there has lasted 7 years!

jen4ny

@Bananappeal145 I spot too- almost always 3 days but sometimes 4- before my period starts. It is so annoying. My RE also isn't concerned about it and says some women just have cycles like that.

Thanks @jen4ny
