Cycle Status:


QOTW: What is playing on your radio these days (besides kids' music)?

Frenchteachermama

Cycle status:  Still on BCPs but my practice wants me to get my "period" this week and then start back up for my August IVF cycle.  

QOTW:  Mostly pandora kids bop but I really love top 40 happy radio when I'm alone!

CTinNV

Cycle Status: Transferring one lovely frostie on Wednesday! I can't believe it's almost here.

Music: I'm a Top 40 fan, myself. I like to bop around to what's hot on the radio.

Cycle Status:  Up to 3 vivelle patches e/o/d now with the lupron and then 4 patches starting tomorrow.  I have a lining check and bloodwork on Wednesday and stop Lupron and start PIO, doxycycline and Medrol for FET in one week!!!!!!!!!!

CTinNV  on Wednesday!!!!!!!

Frenchteachermama YAY for progress

Flamingemu

Status: CD9. The RE took a look and saw a fairly clean ute. He is sending me back to the surgeon one more time (end of the month) for an 'easy hysteroscopy'. Then we meet in August to go over options. We actually discussed babies - for the first time in a year+ of seeing him!

The lo down. While my ute is mostly clean, he sees a bit more scarring in the top of my uterus so he wants to have it removed one more time. Then we have our consultation to discuss IVF. He believes that IVF will be my only chance to conceive. He will only transfer 1 embryo as my uterus is now high risk and multiples would be fairly dangerous for all of us. He also wants to do a transfer as soon as possible, so it looks like this fall we will attempt my first IVF cycle. 

QOTW: I pretty much always listen to Classic rock, top 40, and new rock. 

Flamingemu

Also, sorry for being fairly absent recently. I am in fed finance and had to close, then reopen a quarter. Now that that is over, I should be on a bit more regularly. Good luck ladies, I am liking the updates recently!

NB817

CD 21 in what is expected to be a 33 day cycle! Called RE to get on their radar for this month and nurse went through what will happen when CD 1 comes. DH and I need to go in and sign IUI and THAW consent forms since he will most likely be at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when the thaw and IUI take place. H says if IUI works we would have to name the baby Sturgis. He's got jokes apparently!!

QOTW: I listen to country mostly. No toddler tunes for me!!

NB817

@CTinNV so exciting!!! Will keep everything crossed for you for Wednesday!

@Efhoping2010 You're so close!!! YAY!

ellebelle2384

Some exciting updates this week ladies!

Cycle Status: On day 3 of stims for retrieval number 2!  I go in for monitoring blood work tomorrow.  If all goes according to plan we're looking at the 15th-ish for retrieval.

QOTW: I flip back and forth between the alternative rock and classic rock stations.

So excited for all the updates! There is so much going on I love it!!!! Good luck to everyone currently cycling!!!

Bperkun

Wow everyone is making great progress. It's so exciting!!!! Best of luck to everyone :-)

I have my first appt tomorrow to discuss the plan of attack for baby #2. I am so anxious to get this started but also very nervous to go through it again. Lots of mixed emotions right now. 

I listen to all different types of music. Usually there is a huge shuffle of very different artists on my Pandora

jen4ny

CD 11 for me. Started on meds for my rheumatoid arthritis this week. Nobody knows if quieting down the inflammation makes a difference but it can't hurt. 

I listen to a bunch of different music. Usually top 40 on the radio but in my CD player right now is Shania Twain and Neil Diamond. 

ellebelle2384

Hope the new med make a difference @jen4ny!

Update, I spoke too soon.

While the remote monitoring clinic saw triple pattern the RE said the lining itself is way too thin only 6mm, blah.

So FET for Monday 7/13 is not going to happen.

I now stay on Lupron and add vaginal Estrace too and have another lining check next Wednesday 7/15.

Possible FET now 7/20

I found this out after my weekly acupuncture and am feeling very devastated.

I have fears and concerns that now I will not make it to FET.

So sad..........

ellebelle2384

(((hugs)) @efhoping2010 I hope your next appt. gives you the go ahead for the FET.

Frenchteachermama

@efhoping2010 sending you so many ((((hugs))))). I hope everything works out for you!!!!!!

NB817

So sorry @efhoping2010 I hope your next appointment shows a perfect lining! HUGS!

jen4ny

Hugs @efhoping2010. I hope you get good news at your next appointment!

ellebelle2384

@Blinkalish - how did your appt. go today?

Bperkun

@efhoping2010 hugs to you. Hope you get great news at your next appt. 7/20 is not far away for your possible FET :-)

Bperkun

@ellebelle2384 good, thanks for asking. Turns out I have 3 frosties waiting for me. :-) now I have to wait for aunt flow to go on BCPs. Then start my testing etc. Last time we only transferred one so we are going to do the same this time if all goes well.

1983Lindsey2

Hugs @efhoping2010. FX for great lining next apt.

@jen4ny what med did you start? I hope it works! I know some of the RA meds are the same as Crohn's Disease meds. I am on Remicade.

jen4ny

@1983Lindsey2 I started sulfasalazine. Originally they wanted me on plaquenil but I had an allergic reaction to it. So this is the next "pregnancy safe" one they are trying.
