Re: ~*~*IVF Check-In 10.12.10*~*~
Update: on cd14 waiting for AF in a few weeks to start our cycle.
QOTD: I haven't dressed up in years! I've had some good generic ones like a bunny, 50's poodle skirt, ballerina, etc. I would LOVE to dress up as Snow White and Prince Charming - but so far DH is not convinced.
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
Good luck to: brody8336 (Beta (10/11), periwnkl10 (ET 10/12), NewMrsW (ET soon!), bluejane (Beta 10/12), Yellow_Daisy (ER 10/13), MrsRumpf (ET 10/14or10/16), dicer2 (Beta 10/15), c0debabe (FET 10/15)
Congrats to: DrVWife!! jessalynn221!!
Big Hugs to: ((((((jsw555, ej708))))))
Update: going in today to see how those cysts are. Fingers crossed!
QOTD: I haven't dressed up in years either, but I have this sparkly red long wig that looks pretty good coupled with fake eyelashes and some fancy glue-on nails. I feel very glamorous in it
Update - Beta is Friday 10/15 I'm not sure how I feel about this cycle. I have not POAS yet which is unlike me.
QOTD- I have a pirate getup that I wear using my wench garb. DH and I used to go to the PA ren faire every weekend (now we only get there 2-3 times a year). I have a leather bodice and wrap skirt and all the accessories to make me a rockin pirate
Sending lots of luck to all you ladies: brody8336 (Beta (10/11), periwnkl10 (ET 10/12), NewMrsW (ET soon!), bluejane (Beta 10/12), Yellow_Daisy (ER 10/13), MrsRumpf (ET 10/14or10/16), dicer2 (Beta 10/15), c0debabe (FET 10/15)

IVF #3
Good morning!
QOTD: My favorite costume was last year - we dressed as zombie bride and groom. I found a wedding dress at a garage sale and shredded it. It was so much fun!
Update: Waiting waiting waiting for Friday. I don't want to test ahead of time. I go through various emotions - excitement for a possible BFP and anger toward people that have it easy who don't have to go through IF.
thanks everyone. I am anxiously waiting for the call on my 2nd beta so we shall see.
QOTW: I run the nj zombie walk so I will be dressed as a zombie again this year.
Good luck to all and hugs to everyone that needs one.
Update: I'm on day 4 of stims for IVF #2. I do Follistim in the AM and Menopur in the PM. I'm going for my first follie checkup today, so I'm hoping things are going well in there. ER should be sometime next week.
QOTD: Can't really think of anything. I'm not big on dressing up.

QOTD: Well, I used to hate dressing up, but in college I was a sexy devil. Wore tight red ass pants, a black sparkly top, had the horns and straightened my hair and put red hair dye in it. I was hot if I do say so myself!
Update: stimming
Good luck to: brody8336, periwnkl10, NewMrsW, bluejane, Yellow_Daisy, MrsRumpf, dicer2, c0debabe
Congrats to: DrVWife!! jessalynn221!!
Update: My ovaries are still not cooperating and I failed my 4th suppression check. I will get my e2 levels today, continue with Lupron and wait for another AF (my lining is too thick still). I will go in once a week in the meantime to keep checking on things. I'm very frustrated, but there isn't a whole lot I can do but hurry up and wait. Ugh.
QOTW: I'm not much of a Halloween dresser-upper
QOTD: Don't have a favorite, my cutest recent costume was probably the queen of hearts. If we weren't cycling right now, I'd probably go as Snooki this year, just to be funny (and cheap to put together).
Update: I am triggering either tonight or tomorrow night. I'm waiting for the call back now.....so ER will be Thurs. or Fri!!

Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Update: I'm in the 2ww of IVF3 right now and pretty much losing my mind.
QOTD: DH and I were Adriana and Christopher from Sopranos one year. The costume was AWESOME and I worked on my sweet Jersey accent pretty hard and it was a big hit
TTC in 2008. Stage II/III endo, Hashimotos hypothyroid, low morph (3%).

Update on me: I am on Lupron now and feeling pretty miserable. I hate Lupron.
QOTD: I don't care for dressing up. I did dress up as a devilish Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz one year.
Can I join the check in?
Starting BCP Thursday (10/14) for IVF w/ICSI #1
QOTD: Last year I was feeling lazy and dressed up as a cowgirl using stuff I already had. It turned out really cute.
? My IVF miracle ?
GP BFF's w/2bK!
Can I join as well?
Big hugs to those who need it and good luck to those awaiting betas in the 2WW.
Update. I'm on CD2 for IVF #1 with PGD. Started Lupron Monday and Gonal F today.
QOTD: In college my roomate and I went as Sonny and Cher (I was Sonny) we got up on stage and sang I Got You Babe and I ended up wearing my dyed brown hair and mustache to a political science test the next morning.
Good Luck, Congrats, and Big Hugs to all who need them!
Update: I had my first 2 beta draws, and got the results yesterday. Beta @ 7dp5dt: 42 and 9dp5dt: 118. Given my history of m/c, I am "cautiously excited", so I didn't do an individual post about it. Beta #3 on 10/15, and beta #4 on 10/21 (my 31st birthday). Please let this be my sticky baby.
QOTD: I love putting on my wedding dress and doing crazy hair and making my face look like I am dead, like a zombie bride. I get to wear my wedding dress once per year and the trick or treaters seem to like it. But I don't know if I will do that this year. I LOVE Halloween though!
Congrats ladies with BFP, good luck ladies stimming and reading for ER & ET, hugs to those who need it.
I'm STILL waiting on AF. Going out of my freaking mind in the process. Hopefully I will start in a week, two at the most then I can start stims.
Question of the day: I have always wanted to be pebbles and bam bam!!! but so far my favorite costume was minnie mouse last year. It was my sister's and so adorable!!
Update: Had another u/s and bloodwork this morning. I'll get the call this afternoon to see if I trigger or continue with stims. Not sure how many measurable follies I have right now, but it was eight two days ago.
Good news is that DH comes home tomorrow evening, so he will be home for the ER
QOTD: A few years ago DH and I went as Anna Nicole Smith and the really old guy she was married to (this was before she died). It was really fun. DH was in a wheel chair and we had a "will" sticking out of his pocket, etc. I had a blonde wig (I do not look good as a blonde!) and I bought a huge bra and stuffed it with socks. A weird guy at the party asked my friend if my chest was real. . . it was akward.
Good luck to those with upcoming procedures/betas!
Congratulations DrVWife and jessalynn221!!
Big HUGS jsw555 and ej708.
Update: Nothing new. Just coasting through this cycle. I had my secon acupuncture appointment yesterday! It was great! I already can't wait to start stims. So, I am hoping that this cycle doesn't go long so I can start BCPs for IVF #2!!
QOTD: I dressed up as a pirate wench a few years ago. At the time, I was dating MH and he was supposed to go to a party with me (he was going to be a pirate). But, his mother was sick and died shortly after Halloween. We aren't big on dressing up. One day, I hope we have kids and can dress up with them. My sister and her family were all star wars characters last year. It was great!

One year I went as a TV, yes I went TOTing wearing a huge box. And another year, a friend and I went as Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum (red sweatsuits stuffed with pillows and all)...
