Re: ~*~IVF Check-in 8.3.10~*~
Congrats to: aplus816
Big Hugs to: Mrs.P7/15/06, hillaree, MrsTeacherTrooper
QOTD: machete, lens, vice grip. I'd also like a hand-crank weatherproof flashlight/radio.
UPDATE: WTF this week; looking for a plan or a second opinion
Huge Hugs to: Mrs.P7/15/06, hillaree, MrsTeacherTrooper, StuckintheMiddle
Congrats to: aplus816, oneandonlyyou
Good luck to: *jenjen*, BigHairQueen, J9798 (beta 8/5)
Update: I don't think that I am on the list anymore, can you add me back in? I am currently in the 2ww for IVF #2, but I tested yesterday (6dp5dt) and today (with a digital) and both were positive. My beta isn't until 8/9.
QOTD: (Assuming no service for my iPhone) I would want a Kindle (or some other eReader) that was filled with books, a generator so that I could charge the Kindle, and a deck of cards to play games with the other people who I would hopefully be stranded with.
Good luck to all in the 2ww. I'm hoping to see lots of BFPs around here very soon.
QOTD: I'm torn between several things. Something to make water safe to drink, a big knife, and ?? I think I'll check with my DH (who watches all those survival shows) to see what he recommends.
Update: I went RE yesterday for a checkup. My ovaries are still a little large, but nothing crazy. They took blood and all levels (Progesterone, Estrogen, etc.) were good. Unfortunately, they said it was too soon to do a pregnancy test. They wanted to schedule my beta for next Tues 8/10, but I have to go out of town for work Sunday afternoon 8/8 and won't be home until late Thurs night 8/12.... so they said to keep up the PIO shots and come in Friday the 13th for my beta since they said this coming weekend would be too soon. I had everything all worked out perfectly for my work schedule when my ER, ET, and beta was supposed to be, but due to the cyst, I was delayed a bit.
As if the wait isn't long enough, now I have to wait longer.... ugh. I'm contemplating whether to do a HPT beforehand, but can't decide. I haven't tested out my trigger so I don't know if it's still in there... maybe I'll POAS tomorrow to see if the trigger is gone, and then cave and try Sunday morning with DH. Otherwise, I'll probably wait until Friday the 13th since if I did it out of town, I don't think I'd be able to concentrate on work that day.
IVF #1 w ICSI in July 2010 = BFN
IVF #2.1 in Oct 2010 converted to IUI = BFN

Dh seeing new MFI uro & Dh starting meds- June 2012.
IVF #5 in Dec 2012 = BFFN.
IVF #6 planned for Spring 2013. Praying for our take home baby/ies.
**P/SAIF and P/SAL always welcome!**
I wanted to stop in and give ((HUGS)) to the ladies who need it.
Congrats to the ladies who've had good news!
QOTD: I'm not sure what I would take outside of people/pets. Maybe my laptop with internet access
UPDATE: the 2ww is just about over. I tested yesterday and got the faintest second line on a dollar store test. so DH went out last night and got me another test. I took another test this morning EPT and I got a BFP showed up right away. OMG Im pregnant. Beta is tomorrow morning.
Hugs to all that need them, congrats to everyone that has gotten a BFP, and good luck to all of the ones going for their beta this week.
Yay! That is so exciting!
QOTD: I would want a bunch of books, some sunscreen and a razor (I'm ocd about shaving...lol). I'm sure survival stuff would be more practical but at least I can relax and get a tan while I wait for rescue.
Update: I went to acupuncture yesterday and will be going regularly now. I have a second opinion appointment next Thursday the 12th. I'm also going to look into a fertility diet. I feel like I want to do everything I can to try to get a BFP before I have to shell out $25,000 for IVF again.
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles,
including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama,
IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!
Surprise! Baby Boy is on the way!

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher (thank you beadinglady)
It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.
MTHFR A1298C & C677T, Immune Issues and Factor II
QOTD: I would want a laptop with internet, a really good knife, and some chocolate. I can't live without chocolate.
Update: I am about to start stims hopefully Thursday! I have my Lupron Eval tomorrow morning at 7 AM. I am so ready to do this-not looking forward to dealing with the drives down to the clinic, but my last day of summer school is Thursday! So all I have to focus on is my IVF cycle! (not sure if this is good or bad? haha)
Suggestion for QOTD: What alternative therapies are you using? (massage, acupuncture, diet, vitamins, etc)
Hugs to everybody who needs them, congrats to the BFP's, and good luck to everybody cycling soon!Hugs Mrs P i am still wiping tears... But, I hope your appt with Chuck goes *awesome* on Friday!!!!
Good luck JenJen! I hope your 2ww flies by and you have awesome news in a few days Good luck BigHairQueen with your hysteryscopy and Beta ladies... Good luck!!!! It could be a big week around here!

Update: 2nd beta came back at 1447! But I will definitely be here for a very long time. U/S is on Thursday the 12th bc dh is gone until then!
Started TTC 05.08

QOTD: Mine all involve internet access! My kindle, my laptop and my cell phone.
Update: I'm in the 2ww of my FET. We transferred one embryo last Thursday. Beta is 8/9. I'm not feeling very hopeful. Even though I'm only the equivalent of 8dpo, I don't feel ANYTHING different. (except for some bloating from the progesterone)
QOTD- my I pad with unlimited power supply and access to the Internet & iTunes (therefore lots and lots of books and music)
Tara & Dave - TTC since September 2006
PCOS - dx 1999 (amenorrhea) | freakishly long fallopian tubes
Hypoglycemic | thyroid issues | severely anemic
Multiple Clomid cycles of 50, 100, 150 - absolutely no response
Follistim 50/100 | Follistim 75/125 | Follistim 100/150 IUI - all BFNs
Converted IVF - BFP - m/c | FET - BFN | IVF #2 = BFN
IVF #3
Thanks for the updates ladies! I really appreciate it.
Update: Well the IVF was converted to an IUI, and can I say how much I LOVE this RE's way of doing things? I got the trigger on Sunday morning, they did an ultrasound on Monday before the IUI and I had not ovulated yet but my biggest was 28mm (looked HUGE). We did the IUI and the nurse was awesome! I didn't feel a thing - my cervix hides so it takes a bit to get the cathader in there. We went back this morning for another IUI, they checked to make sure I ovulated and all the big guys on both ovaries were gone. So off for another IUI. This nurse was still wonderful but I had been feeling a little crampy in the morning so this made it a little worse - but not bad at all! And DH is a rockstar - 39 million motile yesterday and 37 million motile today. Even the nurse was impressed! Progesterone draw will be on the 10th - I'm be doing PIO shots daily.
QOTD: Water, books and lotion/chapstick - I have dry skin and it makes me irritable! All the sun, sand and water will be awful!
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
Update: Thanks for the hugs. BFNs suck and the third IVF BFN really really sucks. WTF is next week... not sure where we will go from here but I do think we will cycle again.
My blog: Making Me Mom
PCOS, RPL, & Anti Cardiolipin Antibody
Update: Still on stims...
Question of the day: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want with you and why?
1) Chapstick (can't stand chapped lips)
2) A kindle full of books (though I don't own one and don't plan to as I prefer the smell and feel of real books, I'd need lots of books if I were stranded!)
3) Sunglasses (can't go outside without them, ever)
Fun question!
Hello all
I messaged last week hoping to join. Is that okay to join now?
My updates is that I am still recovering for the ectopic and on a break until cycling returns to normal. WHich means my first IVF around October/ early November? I am also looking into changing RE's. My current thought is that we will change to Advanced fertility in IL.
QOTD: Unlimited supply of water, goldfish crackers, and Lipbalm. Does that count?

Hi There! Can you please add me to the list. AF came today and I go in tomorrow for BW & US for IVF #1. Excited to get things going.
3 things I would bring to the island would be: iPod, matches & a knife.
Please add me to the list
Just completed my first week of BCP & start Lupron on Saturday. Stims start on Aug 15th!
Good luck to all you lovely ladies!
Update on me! I actually changed my Nestie ID and am now posting under another ID because... I finally got my BFP on July 26 and my employer is NOSY and I don't want them snooping on me.
Thanks for updating the list!
