QOTW: What do you have planned for Thanksgiving?
Re: ***2IF weekly check-in***
Update: I had a growth u/s yesterday to see if this baby will be too big for me to try a VBAC. The tech didn't tell me anything other than he still has testicles.
QOTW: My aunt was nice enough to host Thanksgiving this year so DH and I wouldn't have to. But I'll still make a few pies and vegetable dishes to take over. This is my favorite holiday... it is all about the food!!!!
Update: AF showed up already so my RE wanted me to come in for a F/U U/S to see if any follicles went haywire or if I had cysts. Of course now that I am off my cycle I have a few larger ones and some small ones. Why couldn't those have been there a couple weeks ago. He still wants me to take another month or so off and then start a low dose cycle. He also mentioned possibly getting a donor. DH and I will talk about that.
QOTD: My mother-in-law usually hosts Thanksgiving, but this year since there will be a few more people, my dad is gonna host. I am looking forward to some yummy food.
TTC #2 since Nov '07
Tried 4 cycles of Clomid, TI, Gonal-f, and IUI's - all BFFN's
Both tubes removed Nov '09
Low AMH = 0.3
IVF #1 for Feb '10 - cancelled due to poor response - Gonal-f and Repronex
IVF #1.2 for June '10 - Gonal-f, Menopur, and micro Lupron
ER - 6/19 (2 retrieved), ET - 6/22 (1 transferred with ICSI), Beta 7/5 = BFFN
IVF #2 for Nov '10 was cancelled due to poor response - Follistim, Repronex, and micro Lupron
IVF #2.2 for Feb '11 - Gonal-f, Repronex, and Ganirelix
ER - 2/24 (8 retrieved), ET - 3/1 (2 transferred with ICSI), froze 3, Beta 3/11 = BFFN
FET - 4/19 (3 transferred), Beta 4/28 = BFP, EDD 1/4/12
Update: Somehow I'm 35 weeks! 'Nough said. I'm freaking to be third on our list now!
QOTW: We'll be bombarded at Christmas, so we're very much looking forward to a quiet but busy Thanksgiving, just the 3.5 of us, here at home. We have a 12-15 lb turkey just for us.
Our Thanksgiving Day baby 11/22/07
Pregnant with #2 with LPD, uterine polyp/hysteroscopy, DOR (AMH = 0.17), 2 c/ps
Our early Christmas present 12/9/10
I finally have a computer back, just in time to go to a hospital without wifi. I really hope to catch up soon as this board has been a wonderful resource for me in the past year. I hope I canbe as helpful to some as others were to me.
UPDATE: c/s sometime on Monday. N is measuring at 9lbs12oz via u/s yesterday and with her conditions and the history of J getting stuck, it's been decided that a c/s is the safest way to evict her.
QOTW: I'll still be in the hospital. There is a very, very slim chance that I could be released on Thursday, but I'm not leaving if N hasn't been discharged yet (we don't know how long her NICU stay will be)/
Update: AF arrived on Thursday, so I am on CD3 of IUI #3...hopefully third time is a charm. I went for b/w and u/s this morning and I am waiting for RE to call me with the dosage.
QOTW: I am hosting Gobble Day for the first time ever. I am a little nervous b/c it is a big meal and I am hosting 15 people.
We need some good news on the board.....lots of vibes to all!!!
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
Update: My due date is June 8th. Not much going on, things are looking good. My SIL is pregnant too and just announced. I am very excited but relieved that my IVF was successful. I think I would have been an evil green eyed monster if it had failed.
QOTW: We go to my Aunts for Thanksgiving. It should be fun but I am hoping I can keep the meal down. M/S is horrible this time around.
Update: I finally found an OB who would do something! Had laparoscopic surgery and was diagnosed with Endo. Surgery was complicated because I have a bleeding disorder that is only triggered by surgery and requires several days of IV infusions. Felt much better after 2 weeks. OB says I have to go on progestin for 3 months until we can TTC again. Ovaries are working fine (Thank God). Guess no TTC until Feb.
T-giving plans: DS, DH, and I have been doing a thanksgiving journal where we each draw a picture each day of something we're thankful for We are having t-giving with DH's family.
Update: After adjusting my meds this cycle, I FINALLY get to go in for my first IUI tomorrow morning!!! Follie check went good today...I had one mature follie on the left side measuring @ 21.8. (c: I'll officially be in the 2ww starting tomorrow.
QOTW: We'll be spending Thanksgiving day with my side of the family and then Saturday with DH's side for Thanksgiving and to celebrate DH's 31st b-day!
I'd like to say hello and introduce myself. I'll be joining your board as I've had trouble with my hormone levels after having DS six months ago. Since I'm being charged financially for, "infertility," I figured I might as well post with ladies who understand.
I just had my lab work done and will be starting a medication to force start my period. I can't do Provera because I had an adverse reaction to it. After I have my period I'll start on Clomid. I'm anxious to get the show on the road as I'm so tired of living in pain, (endometriosis.)
For Thanksgiving we'll be going over my parents house 25 minutes away. This year I'll really be able to gorge myself if I choose.....last year I was pregnant and so sick. Have a great week ladies!
update: In 2ww wait... however I have no confidence... I take it we will be back to IF treatments in March... I know I still have time so we will keep wishing.
QOTW: Going to the inlaws!!!
We had 2 years of IF trying to conceive #2 and one loss during that time. We are currently trying for #3! had another loss the end of June
Update: Repeat from Infertility post: I didn't ovulate this month and my doc put me on provera, now i'm waiting for my AF. this is now more than 2 weeks pass when i took my last provera pill. I took another blood test right before the 2 week mark. the test results show that i should get my AF soon but i feel nothing ( i usually get a little sore before my AF). Anyone have this experience before? I've never not ovulated before and this is my injectible IUI round. Feeling a little frustrated and impatient.
Thanksgiving plans: going to the UT & A&M game this year and having thanksgiving meal tailgating.
