QOTW: What are your Easter plans? If you don?t celebrate, what are your plans for the upcoming weekend?
Re: ***2IF Weekly Check-in***
Update: After getting word on Friday that my eggs are not the best, I am letting it sink in and getting on with my life. We haven't changed our minds about cycling earlier, so we are on a break until September.
QOTW: Spending Easter with my Mom's side of the family. I am really looking forward to it because everyone is going to be there and I am so blessed to have such an amazing, supportive family.
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
update: triggering tonight, as i just posted below and retrieval will be wednesday
QOTW: I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic. We will have a late sedar for Passover on Saturday (if my 3 day transfer isn't that day) and then go to my mother in law's house on Sunday for Easter
Update: Getting ready to cycle again as soon as AF shows. Hoping to make it to retrieval and transfer this time with lots of good eggs!
QOTW: We are going to have an Easter egg hunt at our house with Sadie on Saturday then go over to my parents' house for a bbq. On Sunday, we will celebrate Easter at the IL's house and do another egg hunt for the little ones. It should be a nice weekend.
TTC #2, Operative hysteroscopy March 2011; IVF #1 long lupron protocol April 2011-cancelled due to poor response; IVF #2 flare protocol May 2011=hospitalization due to abdominal hemorrhage during ER and no fert due to MFI issues. Moving onto international adoption from Moldova January 2013!

After 1 year of TTC#2 BFP May 2011 m/c #3 4w2d. Off to RE.
Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!
Update: waiting for AF to show which should be any day now so we can start cycling again.
QOTW: We will go to church in the morning and then we are having family over for dinner and an easter egg hunt for the kids.
update: nothing new here, AF still hasn't shown, I'm 10 days late and not pregnant. RE said I could start prometrium to bring on AF so I didn't have to wait. DH is having surgery April 28 so I figured I'd wait it out so maybe we can cycle again next cycle instead of sitting out a month.
QOTD: We eat at my parents house at 4 every Sunday but I asked them to have brunch and an egg hunt for DS early so we can go out to DH's family party. I'm excited I think Mark will love it, and I'm excited for him to get his easter basket.
TTC #2 with PCOS since September 2009
BFP, Femara 7.5mg, Ovidrel, IUI. Beta #1 17dpIUI -495 Beta #2 19dpIUI-1031

Nothing new here.
QOTW: I have to sing in the choir for church Easter morning and then I am cooking for DH's family.
DD: Harper (11/27/2011)
Update: I had b2b IUI's Saturday and Sunday, so I am in the 2ww. I go for my beta testing on May 2nd, as long as AF doesn't show up before then.
QOTW: I am hosting Easter at my house, we are having both DH's family and my family over, there will be about 20 adults and 5 children. We will do an egg hunt so that will be cute, just looking forward to seeing DD run and collect eggs!!
update: we are on a break cycle, and as it turned out we missed my O this month anyway, must have happened early since my temp was up this morning on a spot check. I am glad that I won't be waiting to see if I am pregnant this month, but still anxious to get this 2 weeks over with so that I can start our first IUI cycle. I am thinking that I will need to start taking my Bravelle while in Chicago at a conference, so yay, that should be fun. But, luckily the airlines will let me fly with meds and needles, according to the website at least
As for easter, my extended family is notorious for planning things at the very last minute and then telling only half of the family. I asked my Mother today if she knew what the plans would be, and she's still waiting to hear. Oh well, guess we'll find out soon enough.

Update: FET tomorrow (Tues)...I am so nervous. I will give another update later.
QOTW: We will probably hunt for eggs here and then go to church. My dads girlfriend also invited us over to her house for lunch and an egg hunt. I am still going to take it really easy this weekend.
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

ER - 6/19 (2 retrieved), ET - 6/22 (1 transferred with ICSI), Beta 7/5 = BFFN

FET - 4/19 (3 transferred), Beta 4/28 = BFP, EDD 1/4/12
Update-Still very sick over here but trying to be positive. I graduated from my RE last week and will see my OB tomorrow for the first time at 9 weeks. Going to miss my RE, he was truly one of the best doctors I have ever seen.
QOTW: I am hosting for Easter, eeek. Trying to get myself as perfectly organized as I possibly can so I can spread out the workload. It is going to be busy for me the next few weeks as I'm hosting a baby shower , and two birthday parties for my son.
Update: CD11. Temps continue to rise. In a quandry about when to test - I'll post about it later.
QOTW: Church and then having some family for Sunday dinner. I have to confess - not excited at all. (Could be because I'm not able to host to my full capacity this year - bummer) Our anniversary is the next day - but we're deferring plans to a less-busy time.

Miracle DD born 12.2005
TTC #2 since Dec 2008 w/ PCOS
***P/SAIF Always Welcome***
Keep it Natural, Baby!
Update: Have our first appt on July 5 with the fertility dr. Waiting on the bloodwork results that by ob/gyn ordered to have my hormone levels checked.
QOTW: Going to my in-laws in the morning (it is also my MIL's birthday) and to my parent's in the afternoon where I get to meet my 6 month old niece and see my sister that I haven't seen since last summer. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.
Update: Sitting here at 7dpo. I take my last hCG shot tomorrow morning, so starting Thursday I can start "testing out" the hCG with my ICs. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will likely be my telltale temp days, AF would be due Tuesday or Wednesday. If I get that far, first beta would be next week Wednesday.
QOTW: After singing both services, taking a freaking nap when I put DS down for his. Starting in 4 hours, I'm singing in 7 services and a 3 hour rehearsal over the next 6 days. Oh, and I'm coordinating the choir potluck between services. Also between the services, DS will get to do an egg hunt with the other kids. I have no idea when we are going to dye eggs. Maybe Friday after I pick him up from school, since it's a noon service that day.
I have to figure out what DS is going to wear on Sunday, hmmm....
Update: I start Lupron Monday evening. I can't believe how close it is! I'm so excited! Though the BCP made me extremely moody so I'm nervous about how this IVF stuff is going to effect me!
QOTW: Saturday, we'll dye Easter eggs and have an egg hunt. Sunday, DDs will get their Easter baskets and we'll have a big breakfast. Then, DDs will go with their father for the afternoon (I'm already bummed) and DH and I will go to the ILs for dinner. Then once the four of us are back home, we're going to have a family movie night since we are all off school/work on Monday. I cannot wait for the weekend!
Update: Not 2IF really, but I'm going to start potty trainning DS. He's 18months, but the pedi said it's normal in other countries. I have to admit, I'm scared! I'm also still impatiently waiting for my next OB appointment. I won't believe I'm preggers til I see a strong heartbeat. Don't you think that a m/c after 2IF would just be cruel??
QOTW: This year Easter is with DH's family. We switch off. DS has an egg hunt on Sat and then church on Sunday and then lunch with DH's family. Daddy and DS have matching ties this year.
Dorky, I know, but I love them!
UPDATE: Hello everyone! I apologize that it's been a while since I've posted here but I've been peeking in from time to time. We're getting ready to start ttc again (on our own first) so I'll try to post more often.
QOTW: We're hosting our first holiday this Sunday......and even though we have my family over at least once a month, I'm SO anxious! We'll be having close to 30 people too, yikes!
Good luck and have a great week everyone!!
not 2if related either
, but wanted to say yay for potty training early! We started lighty, probably around 16 months with DS, then gradually got more serious. He's been wearing underwear everyday since 23 months, and I think, had he been in a different day care room that would have actually put him on the potty he would have been potty trained months before that. Hope you guys have as good of luck with early training as we did! And looking forward to your good news post soon after your next OB appointment
