@mvt2003 YEESSSS, that is so exciting! So happy for you, way to go, Universe!
@bluetickgal CongratsP in the IUI! FX that it goes perfectly.
@manillar Welcome back. It’s so reassuring to see you & others able to get started back with treatment.
@kpearse99 So good to hear from you! I was thinking about you (& a couple others) all last week, wondering how things were going. You make me laugh every time you mention HomeGoods. That’s how I am about TJMaxx.😍
@inthewoods23 Love your dedication to posting about Bonefish Grill—hope you get to safely enjoy it with your friend soon! (I’ve never eaten there but definitely will have to try it based on your recs here.)
@emeraldduchess I hope you are able to resume treatments very soon! Don’t worry about supporting us—we know you are swamped with teaching online & being available in new ways. Hope you get some relief soon
@pom9207 Hooray for baseline appointment! Sorry about the UTI, hope nothing lingered.
@abarr723 I’m so impressed with those of you who are still having fun! It’s been straight drudgery over here.😬
@ramzlau ”Old?” Hahaha! No girl, reject that! That’s a BS catchall non-reason just like Unexplained. It’s all going to work out. But I definitely feel you on the current monotony. Hang in there!💗
@whitealbum29 Calling about the HSG sounds smart, to keep you at the top of their minds. Hope you can see your parents safely soon! And hope all is going smoothly with your courthouse wedding plan.
Diagnosis (if you've been): RPL, Blood-clotting disorders, Elevated NK cells & activity, AMA
Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WFAF
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Did Letrozole for the second cycle. Both times it made me ovulate early, then I had distinct cramps in the ovulation window that continued for a few days but BFNs. Not sure I’d try it again.
How are things going?: It’s been a hell of a week, on multiple levels! I’m grateful that my state is playing it so safe, but we will be one of the last to open & have had a standing stay-at-home order through May 31st. Anyone who travels to our state has a mandatory 14-day quarantine. Got a very disappointing call from my clinic that the earliest they could do an egg retrieval is late June, and then a FET in August. Also, because I have to take a quick flight to my RE, they’re not sure if I’d have to quarantine there or stay there for the entire treatment cycle to avoid flying back & forth multiple times. It sounds daunting & feels like forever since I got approved for IVF.
Any questions?: NATM, unless any of you know how to get BGs to explain why @keikilove got banned? And to restore her account?
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to when life gets back to normal? Traveling, whenever it will ever be safe to do that again. Hanging out laughing with girlfriends over a sunny outdoor champagne brunch...sounds like a distant dream right now.
@keikiluck thanks, friend!! So sorry that you got the news about the earliest you can do your ER & FET...and that travel could definitely complicate things! I hope you get some clarity on all that soon and that things will get rolling before long! June really is right around the corner, so hopefully your ER will be here before you know it!
@inthewoods23 Great about the early monitoring! I would definitely take any monitoring that was offered, not selfish at all! @keikiluck Jeez I hope TB starts working normally for you soon! Thanks, yeah the planning (aka non-planning at the moment) is going fine! We're just kind of playing the waiting game and I'm sometimes looking online at things I might wear (BHLDN's "little white dresses" mostly and some stuff at Anthropologie) and we're slowly telling people but some people don't even know yet since we don't know when it will be! My mom's excitedly planning a menu though and I think she's a little in denial that we might not be able to gather for a while. So glad your state is playing it safe with opening! So sorry about the disappointing news from the RE! June will be here soon. I hope there's some good news soon about whether you would have to be there for the whole cycle!
@keikiluck wait, you have to fly to your RE? Okay I should never complain about my 1.5 drive with traffic. Hope they figure out the logistics so you can get on the schedule! Stay safe and healthy until then!
Sorry I’ve been MIA. Things have been really busy with work but I’ve been lurking! Just wanted to say I’m thinking of all of you who are struggling today. Sending out a big hug to anyone who needs one! I’m holding on to hope that next year will be different for us

@manillabar hooray for finally beginning treatment!! Hope all goes smoothly and this IUI is a one and done for you!!
@mvt2003 I am sorry that things do not look as though they are going to work out the way you want them to. hopefully things will turn around?! ETA: congrats! I am glad things did turn around and you are able to go with the plan you prefer!
@kpearse99 I'm happy for you guys starting back up with more actively TTC! FX for you guys!
@bluetickgal I hope your IUI went well!! I was nervous for my first trigger as well, I was home alone because H was at work, and it took a lot of coaxing myself into it. And after I finally did it I felt so stupid because it was really nothing at all! And thank you! its so nice to finally be able to see the light after such a long painful journey!
@inthewoods23 I myself am just chugging along as well. Waiting for whatever is next. and thank you so much! I too am hoping they fly by! Nursing school has been such a loooong journey for me, I never thought I would see the light!
@emeraldduchess nooo your eggs are fine!! don't say that!!! and thanks, hasn't seemed to get anymore organized. Everyone is all over the place, and the professors are getting annoyed with everyone asking questions lol. ugh pray for me
@ramzlau sometimes nothing new and exciting is a good thing.
@whitealbum29 I must say, sewing has definitely been a fun way to pass time, and keep my mind busy. Ive been looking on Pinterest about how to make quilts. maybe ill try that once school is done! Also, I am the worst at symptom spotting lol so I can completely relate to that struggle.
AFM: AF is due any day now. I found out at work this week that they are beginning elective procedures again, and since the Fertility Center is run by the hospital I work at, I am hoping to be able to to get the ball rolling with my polyp removal. So hopefully the clinic is also back up and running as well! H was swabbed for the 'Rona this week, someone at the prison is positive, so they were all being screened. Thank God it came back negative, unfortunately his partner tested + and is very sick. Hopefully H stays healthy.
