QOTW: What is everyone
doing for summer vacation?

 

TTC, without meds,
hoping for a wonderful

"surprise!

 

bleebebebebe- I had an
appointment with my RE yesterday for a fluid ultrasound. All looked fine. So I
got my calendar and a birth control Rx. BCPs should start in about 2 weeks with
my next period and meds begin in mid March. It's kind of starting to feel real
that we are really about to go through this again. Getting nervous too....

 

emwaiting – 6/18 We are
currently off all meds and just seeing what will happen on our own. Praying for
that little miracle to happen.

You know be one of those
that can say "it will happen when you quit

trying!" ha I will
be 6 wks tomorrow from my last period so that is

frustrating that it
won't come on it's own. If it isn't here in another week then they will do a
blood test to make sure I'm not prego and then do the meds to start my period.
Kinda hard to have that miracle without my period or ovulating. We had to do
IVF to get our DS so we are thinking we will have to go down that road again so
time to save $$ again!

 

fullfhope- we are TTC on
our own right now, going to RE on December 29 and we will make a plan then for
going forward.

 

Gregermis- Last
cycle was a bust (nut surprising after the bad tummy bug).  AF held off
just long enough that we should get a shot this month.  DH is back
tomorrow and has his repeat SA on Wed!

 

iloveflipflops- Not much
going on just waiting to meet with RE next month had to reschedule this months
appt due to the lovely winter weather.

 

katekat8721-AF came and
went and was horrible. We are still trying on our own, a miracle baby would be
nice but ya know. We filed our taxes and found we'll be getting back enough to
cover the FET, so that's a load off our chest. I weaned from the pump so this
cycle was all jacked up, I don't know if I should expect AF this weekend or if
it'll be another 50+ day cycle. Annoying!

 

Nursey (Okitty)- AF is 4
days early--ugh. We are on our way out* of breastfeeding so I'm hoping the
change in hormones will be in our benefit. We can't start any adoption prep
until DS is 18mos, so I guess we'll keep going the old fashioned way til then. DH
broke my heart last night. Before AF showed I speculated that my supply drop
could be due to a pregnancy. He said he got butterflies and excited thinking
that it was a possibility and was tickled at the prospect of another LO. Knife
to the heart dude. He's too sweet.

MAbride0808-Cycle 3 was
a bust. We are just going to continue to TTC until our RE appointment in March.

 

TTC, with treatments

 

1983Lindsey2- I am new
to this board, but was very active on TTTC and PAIF, but under a different
screen name (1983Lindsey).   I am just waiting on my IVF consult, which is
scheduled for June.  The office I am going to is very very busy.  We
plan on doing SET IVF either late this summer or September. Currently I am
stariting the supplements again COQ10 and prenatals, and am starting DH on
Fertility Blend for Men, which really helped his numbers during our first IF
journey.  

 

amandaleigh1- I don't
have much to report this week. I am a little more than halfway through my
antibiotic course. I expect AF in a week or so, which will start a new FET
cycle. 3/24- Where the heck is AF? Anyone seen her? She was due yesterday and
I'm waiting to get started on my next FET. I'm never late too. Hrumph.

 

Ann679-I had my
retrieval yesterday. I'm completely shocked. They got 8 eggs and 6 of them
fertilized. That's more than my first 2

cycles combined. Now I'm
hoping for some good growth.

 

Bellalou – Crickets over
here til AF arrives next month.

 

christina-My medication
box was delivered today. Less than one week until I'm done with BCP. Update:
Took my last BCP pill. Waiting for my period to get here before starting
Estrace. Update: 3/28 - CD1 started Estrace. U/S and labs in 12 day.

 

Efhoping2010- Have my
vivelle patch on and am injecting cetrotide then waiting for AF next
week to have baseline for IVF/ICSI#4, will find out this week if financing
will go through otherwise we will have to delay and slowly pay towards it, no
financing options at the "big clinic", blah

HeatherHam10- I just
finished provera a few days ago and

I'm currently waiting on
AF. Once she arrives we will begin bcp and prepare for our fet the 2nd week in
April so most likely April 9th. I'm feeling very nervous for so many reasons.
Ds will be 8 months then. We have 2 shots at an fet and then wed be back for a
fresh which I dread

 

hugmonkey- Received all
my meds. I go for my day 2 ultrasound on Wed (on day 3 because of the blizzard
we're expecting). So, I may

be started my injections
soon. It feels unreal to be starting again.

 

June0609- We got 5
normal frosties after PGS. FET is scheduled for 12/10.

 

Kaf7- I am 2 days into
my more than 2ww. Good news is as of today it is actually a 2ww! 3/27- I caved
and poas just an hour ago at 10dp5dt. Got a second line!! Beta isn't for a
week. I am excited and terrified!

 

Millie1984- Im waiting
to start an IVF cycle—just waiting for AF so I can start BCPs (which will
hopefully be any day now...)

 

Pinkmickey24-9/17 Cycle
3 is underway. Going to sit down and chat with DH about when we should return
to the RE. I want to cycle August/September again because a May/June baby if
all works out is much nicer on a teacher's schedule, but I would be grateful
for a baby at anytime in the year.

 

Run20K-We're just
waiting on AF to show (today or tomorrow) and then will start BCP for IVF #3!!!
I'm very excited and nervous at

the same time. I hope to
have my protocol on Tuesday. Good luck everyone!

 

STL34-I had an
ultrasound today before they thawed our last embryo and there appeared to be
fluid in my uterus and my lining looked

off. So, I was cancelled
again. I am not sure what we are going to try next.

 

Thosethreewords- Today
is day 3 of stims. My first u/s is tomorrow. I've been having some pain near my
right ovary and I'm worried that the cyst they saw at baseline is going to
cause a problem and get me canceled. But...hopefully, that is not a rational
fear. Update: I do have a cyst - but it is on the left side (I have no clue
what is going on with my body, I guess). The doctor said the cyst is not a
problem.  Phew.  I have about 10 follies on day 4. I'm so excited!
I've never had a double digit follicle count before. Also, I'm excited. I
joined a study in which they are trying to correlate salivary E2 with blood E2.
So, eventually, maybe, women will just have to spit in a tube when cycling
rather than having daily blood work. I hope it works. I feel like I look like a
drug addict by the time I get to ER.

 

trigirl79 – First appt
was last Hi ladies! Good luck to those ladies cycling!!

 

WadzFaith-In 2ww
purgatory after we transferred 2 embryos on Nov 2nd. Ist Beta will be 11/14 (9
days to go!)

 

wreckitsmommy- Thank you
for telling me about this check-in! I'll be sure to keep you all updated on
Friday's appointment when we go get SCSA results! Once we get Friday's results
we'll decide on a month to

cycle and will keep
trying naturally until then!

 

ON A BREAK, hoping to
get back in the game soon

 

Blueinred - After much
soul searching I have decided to transfer my lone remaining frostie this
spring. I need to speak with my new RE

about scheduling an
endometrial scratch and arranging to move my embryo from my old clinic. It's
both very exciting and scary because this is it for is. Unless I change my
mind, which is highly doubtful, I am not going to cycle again.

 

missilini- We have our
appointment with our RE tomorrow afternoon. I'm a little nervous that we are
all ready at this point. Does anyone know about a medication donation program.
We have to pay for everything out of pocket.

1983Lindsey2

Hugs for all the BFNs and FX to those cycling right now.
@Ann679 that's great about the 6 fertilized embryos. Any news to report?
@missilini how did your appointment go?

Nothing at all going on here. Just still trying to drop the baby weight before my IVF appointment June 10th. Lost 4.4 lbs last week. My next weigh in is Friday. Edit to add I have about 25 to go before I am a healthy weight again.
