    I'm having my Panorama drawn tomorrow morning! So I'll be anxiously sitting and waiting for 10 days for results.

  • Morning everyone. Yes I am in the dreaded TWW. I have tested out the trigger at 7dpt. I am trying to stay positive - having no symptoms yet (except an excess of cm- not sure what that means). I will poas starting Christmas Day!! My beta is scheduled for the 30th. Hoping for a holiday miracle!!

    QOTW: I am looking forward to all the food...... Guilty pleasures that come with the holidays.
  • I think I missed last weeks check in! Hope everyone is doing well.

    31 weeks yesterday. I find this hard to believe! Happy to be pg but so tired. Not sure how long I can keep up working these 10/11 hr days. This whooping cough is also making me miserable. 3 months now and I see no end in sight :( I'm ready to jump a bridge.

    Better throw in a positive! I'm making progress on nursery :)

    QOTW: I love Christmas but this year I'm just not that into it. We didn't even put the tree up but that's because that room is cluttered with baby items. Other stuff going on and I can't seem to get excited...

    @doodiebug18‌ GL at u/s and boo for ms!! @Thespis7 thinking good thoughts! @TRexsMum‌ keep us posted.

    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

  • Hello,
    I hope everyone is doing well. I will start BCP's on cycle day 3 which should be around the 2nd of January. I'm going back to the progesterone and estrodiol injections since my last cycle was cancelled without them. Hopefully my next transfer will be in February.

    QOTW: I am looking forward to the holidays being over. I'm not much into Christmas this year.

    ***PAIF***
    ***loss warning***
    we had our 8 week ultrasound today, and lost a heartbeat. Ninja B stopped growing, and will miscarry. We are beyond sad. Numb mostly.

    Ninja A showed steady growth and still had a good heartbeat. It is very difficult to navigate the mixture of emotions... I'd like to say that I feel relieved to still have this one, but more so, I am terrified that s/he will get taken too.

    I can't trust any of this anymore... It's so, deeply unfair. After all we've been through, I really thought this was our dream come true.

    QOTW: I feel like the rug was taken out from beneath us... Last year, the holidays were horrible. We were so depressed about our canceled IVF #2 (all embryos stopped growing by Day 3 after ER)... I thought this year would be different. And it has. I've enjoyed most of the season, but today, it's all gone.

    I have been bad and peeing on sticks at home.  They are getting darker everyday!

    First beta 12/24, second beta 12/26. 

    I hope I get the best Christmas gift ever!

  • @vibee GL tomnorrow.  

    @Runcc37 so sorry for Ninja B and FX that Ninja A will continue to flourish.

    GL to those cycling.

    Hope all those PG are healthy.

    Our surrogate will be 10 weeks on Christmas day and we have another US tomorrow.  She has been feeling like crap with Sinus issues and she is certain this baby must be a girl since she heard too much progesterone causes sinus infections and girls cause extra progesterone.  Hopefully the doctor will allow her to stop the extra progesterone she has been taking according to the RE protocol.

    We are spending Christmas with my Surrogate and her family (for those that don't know, she is the daughter of really close friends that my DH has known since she as 10)  and I am looking forward to watching her son open his present from "Santa".

  • ***loss & pregnancy mentioned***
    Thank you ladies <3 I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the injustice of it all... Last Christmas was horrible (IVF #2 exploded in our faces & was canceled on Day 3 after ER because none of our fertilized eggs made it past cleavage), and we really thought that this year was our lucky break. I know how to grieve a loss... Done it many times... It's just new territory to be grieving and praying for the other one to make it at the same time. It doesn't feel fair. I'm so scared for Ninja A, and don't think I'll feel like this is viable for a long time (if we even make it much further). I told DH last night that I never want to announce this or any other pregnancy on Facebook, and if we actually make it with this pregnancy, I don't want to announce it at all until after our 16-24 week anatomy scan. Paranoid is probably the best word to sum it up. My Sjögren's syndrome puts us at an increased risk for fetal heart block, and all along I have been putting my faith in the favorable odds that we would likely be spared. But now, I trust nothing, and the stats mean very little to reassure me.

  • I am really sorry, @RunCC37‌, for your loss. I had a transfer of 2 embies earlier in the week. Due to the holidays, beta will be on January 3. I incorporated a few of dr. KKs recommendations including supplements, baby aspirin, metanx and prednisone. I also did intralipids through my RE. Transfer conditions were less than ideal (according to dr KK I had minimal blood flow to zone 3 just days before transfer), so I am expecting another BFN. We have 2 embies left, DH wants our attempts over ASAP and I tend to agree. I never would have starting trying for a sibling if I knew it would be this hard. We are completely drained emotionally and financially. I have a final results meeting with KK next week. She did provide some initial recommendations to me when I saw her for our first meeting earlier in the month, since I was already in cycle. She mentioned she doesn't usually work this way but wanted to help. She knows and respects my RE, which is somewhat comforting. I guess it is a very tight knit community here in Chicago. Final cycle (not how I am assuming this one will not work!) will be in the first half of this year.

    My Blog: Running and Dreaming for Two ~ All are Welcome!
  • @RunCC37‌ praying for ninja A. Sending you strength.

    Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend so far. I know this time of year is hard for so many of us. I'm almost at the end of my TWW and have already made the decision if this is a no go then I am taking a month off. Just need to let the body and mind rest. I only have about 9-12 months left per my RE to try with my own eggs. But like so many I need a break before I explode.

    Oh..... I do like the "what pisses me off section" ha!

    Sending hugs!
