Infertility Veterans

It's been awhile (w/an update)

Hi Ladies!

I'm so sorry for being MIA for the past month.  After my positive beta and then it turning into a BFN, I had to take a little break from TB.  

During my time away, I started working in the town I live in, I now have a 3 min-RT drive from my house, we had children in our home every weekend, I went to see family near NYC for a funeral (my late gdad's BIL) for a few days and Dh and I took in a 19 month old little girl (had her for about 48 hrs back at the end of March) about 2 weeks ago. 

We could have her for another month, 6 months or up to 2 years...we don't know anything right now. Indifferent  She has flipped our world in so many different directions and jumping into dealing with a toddler has been a HUGE learning experience for us all.  She is so adorable and makes us laugh and smile multiple times a day! Big Smile

As far as IF, I was given the green light this morning to start estrace for our FET cycle.  I go back on the 13th (our 5th wedding anniversary) for a lining check with an est. transfer date of the 19th! Big Smile 

Oh, and we planned another vacation to FL in Sept.  What Dh doesn't know is that I'm planning a small surprise party for him while we are there with a dozen of our friends that live there.  I can't wait to see the look on his face!

I think that's everything for now.  If you've made it this far here's a Drinks (or mocktail) to enjoy!!!!  And ::BIG HUGS:: for everyone!!!

Re: It's been awhile (w/an update)

  • Sorry again about your BFP turned BFN, but yay for getting underway again soon.  I hope this FET brings you a take home baby.  Please keep us posted on your cycle. 

    Taking in a toddler certainly sounds life-altering... Both scary and exciting at the same.  More exciting than scary though.  

    I hope your Dh is good and surprised by his surprise party.  

    Take care sweetie!
