Who's cycling in January??

SweetieShellieH

Because our fresh cycle transfer got cancelled due to OHSS, we're going to be doing a FET in January (The embryology lab closes for a few days in December, exactly when I'd have needed them to be open I'm sure!). I'm curious who else is doing a cycle (fresh or FET) in January??

My fresh transfer was cancelled in November because of lining issues, so we are planning a FET in January.  I got my period Friday and started BCPs and will call my clinic tomorrow to see about setting things up for my FET.  My RE wants a repeat of my saline sono to make sure there are more abnormalities in my lining (I had polyps removed in September) and I am hoping to also schedule a quick consult with her to discuss my lining issues from last cycle.  I also have to talk to the financial lady to see if I need a deposit and find out how much of a credit I have to my account.

Hi Ladies,

I think I will be at least prepping (and hopefully completing) my FET in January. My fresh transfer was cancelled in October due to high P4 and a fibroid. I'm having surgery on Thursday to remove it. Hopefully we can get a check in going soon

Hope you all had a nice holiday!

I will be doing IVF #2 in January assuming AF arrives on or before Christmas Day. Yay January ladies! I have a feeling this will be a big group. Names? January jelly beans anyone?

Smootiepie

I'm a January!

.Mrs.Matt.

I am!! I feel bad that I've been completely MIA lately... there's just nothing going on right now! I can't wait until January.

Sorry to hear that you're being delayed, hopefully it will work out for the best all around.

I don't want to jinx it...but me! FET (*loss mentioned* assuming my HCG drops from the 6 it's hovering at right now...) of 2 this time. Still trying to figure out the exact scheduling (are you supposed to have a similar amount of rest after a FET?) but it looks like January is a go!

SweetieShellieH

@emmuffy‌ January Jelly beans is a really cute name!
I was thinking of January Snowflakes but noticed it's the name for TTCAL January group I believe.
Maybe January Icicles or Frost?
January Streamers or Confetti?

Or ... January Bubblies ... aka the champagne we'll be enjoying New Years, cuz none of us will be able to drink afterwards for 9 months !!!

SweetieShellieH

*loss mentioned*

@ButtMonkey34 I didn't have a D&C but my first AF after my loss came at CD 40 so hopefully not much longer for you to wait!!

Dyork

I'll be doing my first fresh cycle in January. As long as my period cooperates in December, I'll be good to start the very end of December/very beginning of January.

I'm planning an FET in January.

SweetieShellieH

oh I like flurries! 

BootsOrHearts

***Ticker warning***

We're tentatively planning on a January FET. 

Maybe January Jewels? January Dreams? January Snowdrops? 

tweetyknicks

Mmmm, Sno-caps

I few I liked were...

January Precious Penguins

January Snowflakes (snowflakes are often used as a symbol for frozen embryos because each one is unique just like a snowflake.  I feel like the sentiment fits embyros in general though).

January New Year's Dreams (or New Year's Hope)

 

mrscsw

I will either be January or February.

I like Snowcaps and precious penguins!!

Spring78

Looks like IVF#2 for us will be in January. We still have some frosties, but we've been through half with nothing to show for it & figure we should bank some more embryos before I get any older.

I like some of the name ideas so far... I'll try to think of more options. :-)

tweetyknicks

If we go with sno-caps and this cycle works, I may need to get a hat like this and add little white puffballs (and without the button).

SweetieShellieH

@Twinkie0612 I had thought about snowflakes too... but TTCAL January Loss group is called snowflakes. @tweetyknicks‌ I had never heard of sno-caps before ... but I wanna try some!

kristin1k

I have my first IVF cycle scheduled for January. I've been through one IUI and a couple months on clomid while trying naturally. My husband and I have been TTC for over 2 years. I am feeling excited, scared, and a million other emotions under the sun but am thankful to have this forum to turn to for support and guidance!

I just got bumped to January so I'll be joining you ladies!  I like January Jewels (or Gems).  I bet someone could make a very pretty badge for that one

Dyork

Precious Penguins! Love it. Also January Jewels or Gems, and Flurries.

SweetieShellieH

@lemonliz ... as you wish!

I had some time on my hands this morning since I'm working evenings

Don't think I did them all, but I did a few!

lilycakes78

@SweetieShellieH‌ Love it! The penguin is so cute and the flurries one is so pretty and magical!

emmuffy

SweetieShellieH  you are so talented! I love all of these

GoBucksOH

I will be in January!! First IVF cycle for me. Should be starting BCP within the next week. So excited and nervous!

I love the penguins!

doves654

I think I will be joining you guys - my beta is Friday, but I had a negative POAS 9dp3dt today, and if it continues to be negative, we'll do a FET in January. 

The badges all look awesome! I love the Flurries and Snowdrops names the best!

Twinkie0612

I'm going to vote no for snowdrops since last year's January cycle was snowdrops and I already have one snowdrop badge.

SweetieShellieH

@lemonliz no problem It's keeping me from going insane over having the transfer cancelled! 

I still have one whole cycle to go through before I can start anything, and AF hasn't even arrived yet .. and I'm not sure when to expect her since it's my first IVF cycle. I did IUIs with progesterone and AF came within a day or two of ending it, but those were two weeks after trigger. I stopped Progesterone pretty early since the transfer didn't happen, so it was only 8 day after trigger that I stopped it! But I figure I'm still making my own, and me stopping the suppositories might not have been enough of a drop of hormones to start it, so no AF yet. Though I've been pretty nasty the last two days (and I don't get PMS-y) so maybe she's coming. So I must keep myself sane! I just hope she isn't soo late, or that next cycle isn't messed up because of this cycle and end up getting bumped to February!! Then I will cry.

SweetieShellieH so happy to see this when I came on today-exactly what I was looking for! 

My FET was postponed to end of Jan due to the lab being closed the exact days I would have needed them open in Dec. So frustrating to have to wait a whole extra month because of that!! Also waiting anxiously for my PGD results after my ER. Here's to hoping we all have a fun but quick Dec! 

jessmacdonald13

I think we will be too! We're starting with BC in the next two weeks (or three depending on when I can get into see my RE!) This is our first cycle and we are so excited to finally be doing something!

vballbaby

Count me in for January. I start the pill today. Don't know if I should be depressed or optimistic. Depressed cuz dr said 15% chance for live birth or optimistic that my dr told me today that my uterus hasn't aged and is excellent (no polyps, smooth lining etc). I'll settle on cautiously optimistic for a precious penguin!

tweetyknicks

Juniper berries?

tweetyknicks

January Ginger Snaps

tifga

Looks like I will be leaving the December sugar plums and joining up here.
Looks like there are some issues with my progesterone and Dr and husband want to do another biopsy before FET#2.

Those badges are lovely. I really like the flurries.

Kcheese

Aww....the little penguin is just so cute!

apitts2

I will be doing my 2nd ivf cycle in January, I am new to this forum but unfortunately not new to the ivf world. Excited to be involved in this forum.

SweetieShellieH

I'm going to make a separate post where I can list the name suggestions so far, and people can make more suggestions if they like. Then from there we can put up a poll, then we can move to picking badges!

I will leave out Snowflakes since it's used for TTCAL January loss group, and Snowdrops since it was used for January 2014.

Also I was thinking .. and this is because I just love badges ... should we as a board do an inspirational badge for the entire IF group for 2015? Like the "Just Keep Swimming" one for 3T 2014?? @NariaDreaming What do you think??

ShortStuff

I am finally, finally, finally doing my first ever IVF cycle in January... after TTC for more than 6 of the last 10 years! I am SO hopeful, it's painful. I'm already on my second week of BCP and have my lessons for my meds tomorrow.

I like Gems and Jelly Beans.

SweetieShellieH

I can make a post to see what people think of the idea @NariaDreaming

wcasar

I think I'll be joining in. My Tiny Turkey wish didn't happen so round 2 for IVF will most likely be in January. We have our WTF appointment on the 15th and then we decide from there on if we use our 1 frosty or do a whole new round. Depends on what the doctor recommends.

Loving the penguin. He looks so cute!
