@katherind yea it's not easy! I would recommend you also check out the infertility board. There are a lot more gals going through ivf hanging out there who can really relate to what you're going through. Just another place to check out!
@heatherdubrow THURSYAY! I'm so excited for you! @wabash15 my fingers and toes are crossed for you. Do you have a beta scheduled or are you just testing at home? @beachbunnyxo123 *TW* after my last IUI they accidentally tested my progesterone and hcg beta at 7dpo. My beta was 6 and I wasn't ever able to turn a frer. Not even a squinter. Its definitely something I would bring up to an RE. @mrsdaddario exciting for natural cycles! And you're getting so close to April too! @KristoKekerooni seeing babies is so hard for me too. Because I loooove babies. But they make me feel so sad and sorry for myself. @Marley629 I went back and looked at my scans. My first scan day 7 of stims I had 12 follies between 11 and 12 mm 2nd on day 10 of stims I had 26 follicles between 11 and 16 mm. Hope that helps!
Diagnosis (If you've been): I think my new dx is shit eggs...
Cycle/CD: cycle abillion
Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): waiting for FET
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) FET soon!
How are things going? The waiting is killing me. I had a work emergency last week and had to reschedule our FET class. So we go on Wednesday. Can't wait to get a schedule.
Any questions? @heatherdubrow were you on bcp before FET and if so did you have to wait for AF to start meds for FET?
GTKY: I'm needing some positivity this week, so how do you pay it forward? Or what is one of your favorite ways you've heard of someone paying it forward? *TW hella sad pet story* Last year our 2 year old puppy got lymphoma and we had to put him down on christmas day. So this christmas we went to the emergency hospital where he got his chemo and where we said our goodbyes and paid a huge chunk or a stranger's vet bill. It was the best thing I ever did and it made the really sad anniversary of losing our puppy way easier.

@tamalahoops yes I did bcp for 3 weeks and about a week and a half into it I started lupron injections then got a withdrawal period after stopping the bcp and then started the estrogen
@shortstack I'm late to the advice party, but I recommend seeing an RE. I initially went to my gynecologist for testing and she gave me orders for the usual tests, but then a friend said "Get thee to an RE!" and I'm glad I went. They specialize in getting your pregnant, period. They have more experience with reading test results and creating treatment plans, and they know, based on all that experience, what treatment plan will bring you your baby. I think a midwife can only take you so far, so an RE sooner rather than later is a good idea.
Diagnosis (If you've been): Fibroids, AMA
Cycle/CD: 8/on BCP for IVF
Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): Waiting to start stimming for IVF
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) I started BCP on Sunday to prep for stimming. My nurse emailed me the tentative schedule and I'm only on BCP for two weeks rather than three, so I'm happy to have a week shaved off. Now I'm just waiting for my nurse to call me to schedule the mock embryo transfer and injection class.
How are things going? Pretty good. I'm happy the BCPs aren't making me nauseated like they used to.
Any questions? Nope.
GTKY: I'm needing some positivity this week, so how do you pay it forward? Or what is one of your favorite ways you've heard of someone paying it forward? I practice basic human kindness. I pick up trash if I see it on the ground and throw it away. I let people in front of me on the highway. I help people pick up stuff they drop. I let people jay walk in front of my car so they don't get hit by someone coming behind me.

Okay ladies, I did it! Did some research and found an RE in our area with excellent reviews and made an appointment. Earliest I could get was May 15 but they did put me on a waiting list in case anyone cancels. At least that gives us a couple more months to keep trying on our own just in case.

How are things going? So we might end up needing to wait until April for our first medicated cycle...Sigh. DH may be traveling for work during key times next month. It all depends on when I O/how long my LP is this month before we can see where it'll land next month. But UGH.
Any questions? Nah, just waiting on my eggs to figure out which one is the winner this month and drop itself down the tube o' fun.

@antoto it will be my first this time around, The RE thought with my history we could probably get away without doing it initially since it was clear last time and TW*** I did get KTFU through IUI previously. End TW***

@KristoKekerooni ugh I'm so sorry your IUI got canceled bc of your doc. Our medicated cycle might be canceled next month too.. DH has travel for work and it just depends if it falls in my FW next cycle or not. I was really looking forward to getting started. It sucks because the months go by so slloooowwww when you're waiting for something. I totally understand your feelings about your Bff's baby... So many of my friends have had a baby recently and now my sister is nearly halfway through her pregnancy. I'm so worried that I still won't be pregnant by the time she has her baby and I don't think I'll do well with that either. Hugs lady!

Thank you ladies for all the love and support. DH and I talked and made a plan. If we can stick to our new budget this month and next we will pursue 2 more rounds of IUI. In the mean time I have an HSG scheduled for next week and we will keep trying on our own. If that doesn't work out then we will start to research adoption. You ladies are such a blessing and make a challenging time easier to bare.

Sorry I can't reply to all right now, but man oh man am I excited for those who are in important stages of treatment right now. I just cannot wait to see the next person from this board on the Grad thread

GTKY: I'm needing some positivity this week, so how do you pay it forward? Or what is one of your favorite ways you've heard of someone paying it forward?
I love paying for the person behind me at the drive-thru! I am not often in a drive-thru so I don't get to do it as often as I'd like.

I totally understand your feelings about your Bff's baby... So many of my friends have had a baby recently and now my sister is nearly halfway through her pregnancy. I'm so worried that I still won't be pregnant by the time she has her baby and I don't think I'll do well with that either. Hugs lady!
