Hugs to all suffering,  Best of luck to all!  Especially IFV friend turned real life friend Sweetdahlia who has her beta on Thursday!

Update: cd15 of trying on our own for a miracle.  Taking a few months off before doing IVF 5 this summer.

Qotw: we are celebrating Easter with my family this coming weekend and celebrating with Dh's family on the actual holiday... We take turns with holidays.  

Im 35 and I don't know if my amh has been tested or not.  I've had lots of testing, but they never said there was anything wrong with me.  We got pushed to IVF with ICSI because of Dh's mfi.  So if they ever tested my amh, either it was fine and they didn't mention it.. I don't recall them ever mentioning it.   I told my re i am worried that I'm getting older and he said not to worry.... But I still am.  I do plan to ask whether my amh has been tested next time we talk.

delino

Big {{{hugs}}} to those that need them and big CONGRATS to the BFP ladies! Question: We will be celebrating Easter at my MIL's. There are no kids, so we just have some dinner and hang out. AMH: I'm 30 and I haven't had my AMH tested. I go for CD3 bloods tomorrow, so maybe they'll test it. My update: Yesterday was CD1 so I think everything is gonna go fast now. Tomorrow I go for bloodwork, start BCP's on Friday, Monday is our social worker appointment, Tuesday is orientation. Tomorrow I will also schedule my SHG and then the last item on my checklist is hubby's SA.

mnj05

I would like to be added.

We are getting ready for IVF #1 in May/June. We did three rounds of clomid and TI, while getting a SA for DH, which came back low. We did additional testing on him and got the severe MFI DX. I've had tons of bloodwork to confirm/disprove PCOS and have been DX as anovulatory. I've had an HSG and all was clear. We've been "trying" naturally until IVF, but I'm on CD43 and have not even thought about this cycle working.

Question: We go to my grandmother's every Easter for Sunday lunch.

AMH: I'm 25 and haven't had my AMH tested.

QOTW: 
I normally celebrate Easter but it's our first year here in RI and we don't really have any plans to do so. I think my plans will be to plan a brunch for the whole family to get together next month...I LOVE planning

Bella2u07

Update:  My RE wanted me on BCP for 2 cycles, I am on the last week for cycle 1.  Next week when I start BCP for cycle 2, I will also have my 1st CD3 appt after a 7 month break and will start lupron 2 weeks into that cycle.  I'm getting closer to stimming!!!!

QOTW: 

Easter Weekend: Dh and I will be taking care of a 7 yr old girl that weekend, haven't made any plans yet on how to keep her entertained, but for Easter we will give her an Easter basket and take her to have Brunch with my family.

AMH:  I am 34 and just had it tested for the 1st time (as far as I know), yesterday.  Waiting results. 

winofairy

I would like to be added too!  My IF history is in my siggy.  We are on bcp right now.  I have my baseline u/s on the 10th.  We will start stimming on the 13th.  ER 04/25-04/26.  ET 04/29-05/01.

QOTW: 

Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans?  Yes, we go to Sunday morning services at church and then brunch at my MIL's.  Mid-afternoon we will go to my mom's for an early dinner and watch my two younger nephews hunt eggs.

What are your plans this weekend? We are leaving for Disney in Orlando FL early Sunday morning.  This is a gift from my MIL so that we can be as stress free as possible for our upcoming IVF cycle.

IF related - Topic: AMH
Did you ever have your AMH tested?  Yes
When (part of your IF testing, before starting IVF, etc...)?  In February of this year when we started seeing our new RE.  My old RE did not test for them as the said they are never truly quanatitive.
How many times have you had it tested?  Just 1x
How old are you?  40.5
What were your AMH results? .67

 

Mitzi Bishi

Update:  We're currently just trying to hash through whether we should spend more money on testing or go ahead with our FET. It's exhausting. We have so many cards in the air right now and I just feel like time is slipping away. 

QOTW: 

Easter Weekend: We usually go away and plan to this year as well. I'm excited for some R&R as well as exploring a new city. 

AMH:  I've had my AMH tested twice, once at both REs. My first RE said it was worthless, while the second didn't seem to think so.

First time it was 3.4 and second was 3.3. 

I'm 30.  

luvboston

Congrats and hugs to everyone!!

Update: Had my beta yesterday it was 16 so I am waiting until wed to see if it goes up.

 

Q: I do not celebrate Easter. This weekend I am going on a college tour with my sister and to a book club brunch. I never had my AMH tested. 

jenjen930

I don't really have much of an update right now.  I finished Provera on the 14th and am still waiting on AF.  As soon as she shows up I start BCPs, for an estimated ER date of 4/25.  I'm not going to lie - getting a bit nervous about the timing.  My RE is one of those that likes to have everyone cycling at the same time, so I am getting afraid that AF is going to wreck my chances this month.  Why is it that she shows when you don't want her, and doesn't show when you do???

QOTW: 

Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans?

Kind of.  Sometimes we have it at our house, and sometimes we go to a parent's house.  It's really just dinner.  I would do more if I had a LO.

I really don't know actually.  I am 30, and have had sooooooo many blood tests done over the past 2 years that I just don't know what they test anymore.  My RE typically gives me overviews instead of details, so it's possible.

QOTW: 

Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans? We do. Not too much. Brunch with family at the Holiday Inn and church.

JenScott-4-09

Hi, I would love to be added. I will be starting birth control tomorrow (3/28) for my first round of IVF. I have done 5 rounds of clomid and TI before being referred to an RE. RE diagnosed me with Low quality/quanity of eggs 3/14 - DOR. DH SA was normal, my HSG was normal but many of my numbers were abnormal, especially E2 and AMH. He gave me a 0.03% chance of conceiving. With that said, we are about to begin our journey with IVF. I look forward to getting to know all of you girls and supporting each other on this journey.

My IVF protocol -  I will be taking lupron, bravelle, menopur, HCG, progesterone, and estrogen. They estimated ER and ET sometime in May.

QOTD: We will be going to my family to celebrate Easter on the saturday of Easter weekend and then my DH's family on Easter Sunday. As for this weekend, I will be relaxing! I am a nurse and just worked this past weekend 3 - 14 hour days in a row.

IF related -
Did you ever have your AMH tested? Yes, Feb '12 
When (part of your IF testing, before starting IVF, etc...)? It was part of my Infertility workup by RE prior to any treatment discussions with him.  
How many times have you had it tested? Just once 
How old are you? 28 
What were your AMH results? 1.67 (RE told me at my age, for optimal fertility, it should be >4.0 and at least >2.2 for satisfactory fertility)

maggie2324

I'm getting ready to start BCPs on Sunday. I'll be on them for 2 weeks before beginning stimming. I tested this morning (you know, just in case) and it was a BFN, so now I actually have to go fill my prescriptions for BCPs and antibiotics for SHG.

QOTW: We don't do much for Easter. When we were in college, my ILs made us Easter baskets, but they eventually decided they're done with that until grandkids. Easter is when we started dating and we also got married around Easter, so we will be celebrating regardless. We're renting a cabin, going zip lining, and other outdoorsy activities this weekend.

I did have my AMH tested, but my RE never gave me the number. She just said that it was very very good, as it should be for my age. I'm 23, so I'm assuming that it's a 5+, but I could be totally wrong. I believe this is why she is much more concerned about OHSS and is doing antagonist with a Lupron trigger.

Update: Beta 4/4, having lots of phantom symptons. ugh.

QOTW:  We have my family over for Easter. We run to church after I get the turkey in the oven. Have dinner with my family around 1 or 2 pm. It's a lot of work but SO yummy!

Gregermis

Wtf is Friday and we still have 3 frosties... So we will likely be doing FET#2 in a couple of months.

  I do celebrate Easter, it's one of two times a year DH comes to church with me.  After we are having lunch with his family.

I got my AMH tested after we'd been trying for a year, but before starting treatment.  My FSH had been a little high, but my AMH was 7 something.  I was nearly 30 at the time.  That was about a year ago.  I'll be 31 in a couple of months.

We sort-of do - we don't go to church or anything but we are getting together with my family.  We have three birthdays all that week - so we are doing a birthday/Easter get-together.  I'm going to make a Carrot cake

Congrats to the BFPs!

Good luck to those in the 2ww!

Big (((hugs))) to all that need them!

Update: I went in for my FDA labs and u/s &b/w yesterday and I am ahead of schedule. My ER was originally scheduled for 4/2 but I may be triggering tomorrow. I am having a tough time staying positive, but am trying!

QOTW:  Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans?

We do not celebrate Easter. Hopefully I will be recovering from my ER waiting for transfer this weekend! We are moving back to TN soon ad DH has his going away party at work on Saturday. I hate that I may miss it, but this is about the only thing I would miss it for.

IF related - Topic: AMH
Did you ever have your AMH tested? Not that I know of... I can't find it on any of my results paperwork. I did have a very good response to my meds with my IUI so I am assuming I don't need it tested if it hasn't been.

farmerlynda

Thanks for the shout-out!  Thinking of all the ladies who need (((hugs))) right now (Gregermis, I think of you often!) and sending out congratulations to my fellow BFPs

Update: I got a +HPT 7dp3dt, and I'm going in tomorrow for beta.  I plan to be there right when the lab opens at 7 a.m.!  This still doesn't feel real.

QOTW:  Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans?

On Saturay, we'll be bringing baby goats to a winery that hosts an annual Easter egg hunt (more like an Easter egg mad dash/grab).  Afterwards all the kids come over and snuggle with the baby goats and the parents take millions of photos.  This year, a bunch of MH's family is coming to visit from OOT, and the winery has promised to take them all on a tasting, which will be fun.  Then on Sunday I imagine we'll be doing the IL's traditional Easter brunch.  MIL really goes all out!

IF related - Topic: AMH
Did you ever have your AMH tested?  I can't find it in my lab results, so I'm assuming no.

btaylor19

Update:  My first beta was Monday morning, but I don't get the results until the Wed. draw.  I had a negative HPT that morning so my hopes are pretty low.  I did find out today that we have two frosties.

QOTW: 

Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans?  My family usually does something, but I don't celebrate it as a religious holiday.  This year I haven't heard of any plans so I'll probably just hang out at home.

IF related - Topic: AMH
Did you ever have your AMH tested?  I assume my RE checked it before IVF, but he never went over the results so I honestly have no idea.
How old are you?  31

Update: day 6 of stims for me. Left ovary is really twingy and when I sit I feel my rib cage is resting on it. Righty is not feeling as much. Monitoring yesterday went well, looking at weekend or even into Monday for ER. A lot of decisions needed this week on PGS, 3day vs. 5 day biopsy. Already I know that no ICSI as DH numbers all had huge increases so he is back in normal range for all stats.

QOTW:  Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans? No really celebrate, but used to recognize it as it is a 4 day holiday in Australia where I grew up. Here it just seems to get lost in the shuffle here in LA.

If you do not, what are your plans this weekend? I will be resting mostly as towards the end of my stims and getting ready for ER. I did a good clean of the house last week to prepare and I am now watching the baby grass grow in my front yard after planting it 11 days ago - I love spring!!!

IF related - Topic: AMH: I do not think that I have had it tested but I will ask the RE tomorrow as it is possible that it was and I just did not realize.

Thanks for the shout-out, much appreciated!!!

Continuing to send major (((hugs))) to Gregermis and anyone else who needs them!

Many congrats to all the BFPs.  Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone cycling and in the painfully slow 2ww!

Update:  First beta was on 3/7 and after almost three roller coaster weeks, we got to see our embryo's heartbeat yesterday.  We were beyond shocked, as we expected this u/s to be an update as to whether I would likely miscarry naturally or need intervention.  RE says I'm still at increased risk for m/c, but we're now in a much better position than we've been all along.  Hoping that next Monday's u/s brings us more good news.

QOTW:  In recent years, we don't always celebrate Easter.  MH's family doesn't live near us and my parents are frequently in ME to visit with my brother's family this time of year.  My parents are headed up after Easter, so MH and I will be going over to their place for an early dinner.  Very low key, no extended family or anything.

IF related - Topic: AMH
Did you ever have your AMH tested?  Yes
When (part of your IF testing, before starting IVF, etc...)?  About a month after we first visited our RE (I kept putting it off because that was when I still typically fainted after blood draws...my how the times have changed!)
How many times have you had it tested?  Once
How old are you?  37 (test was 10/2011, turned 37 in 7/2011)
What were your AMH results? 0.43 (in my case, my AMH definitely foreshadowed a crappy response to stims)

 I do celebrate easter, however I work only on the weekends so no dinners for me but I will be going to church a gazillion times that week

I've had my AMH done obviously before IVF about a month and a half ago I don't remember the number but I know it was good.

Congrats to all BFP's, hugs to BFN's or losses, and Good luck to all!

:::Waving hello to all in this check in:::

Update: We are TTC on our own and hoping for a miracle as we wait for our next IVF cycle in May/June.

QOTW: 

Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans? Yes, we celebrate Easter. We usually go to church and have a family dinner. Since moving to FL, my DH and I have traveled to Tampa to visit with his grandma, but this year my mom, sister and nephew (first grandchild) are traveling from NY to our house! I am so excited to spend holiday time with my family! We will probably have a family dinner and go to the beach to hang out and such. Glad to be with family bc I live so far away.

How old are you?   I am 31....soon to be 32 in June.
What were your AMH results? Will find out soon enough after I ask!

Congrats and hugs to everyone!!

Update: Took my last BCP last night and still doing Lupron. I have my suppression check on 4/2.

 

Q: DH and I aren't religious, but MIL does a big Easter dinner and we go over there. I'm not sure if I've had my AMH tested. I think my Re might have checked it when we were first starting, but I have no record of those results.

Congrats to all the BFP this week and Good luck to everyone else.

I am off BCP for this week but will start again on 4/2 for up to 14 days.  I go in tomorrow for my calendar and DH go in on Monday to do a SA freeze in preparation for our upcoming IVF.  DH has low count and they wanted to do a freeze in addition to his deposit on the if retrieval. 

 

Do you celebrate Easter?  If you do, what are your plans? We will celebrate with my in-laws
