    Thanks Daysie. Do you think there's still hope?

    I love what I do, but it was a LONG road. I spent 4 years in undergrad, 5 years in graduate school (Master's and PhD), one year internship, one year post-doc, before I was finally in the "real world!"  If i did it over again, I'd probably just get a master's degree and LPC - a much shorter path (2-3 years).  But at least I can call myself Dr! 

    I know it's hard to hold onto hope after seeing a negative, but it is still early. I think there is always hope until the final word is said. It may not be easy to hold on to, but sometimes, I think that's the only thing that keeps us going.

     One day, I'll go back for my masters. I did get accepted, but then when I saw I needed to get insurance through the APA, I freaked! LOL I just thought about all the responsibility that would come with it and it scared me. The thought of being woken up by and emergency phone call in the middle of the night, I just froze and couldn't move forward. And I'm a little upset with myself for that, but, all well.

    Hi, technically a September Sweetheart, but my ER/ET were the 1st week in October.  My beta will be on 10/17(wed).  So freak out...so so freaked out.

     

    I am currently a special education teacher.  I work with students who have moderate to severe disabilities.  If I did not work in this field I would work in my old field which was broadcasting. 

    7/18/12-1st RE appointment CD2 blood work taken. Told to move straight to IVF. Starting BC pills and FSH injections plus Lupron. Hopefully doing ET in September Off BCP March 2011 Started TTC July 2011 7 months TTC with no luck an then.... Diagnosed 2/24/12 with 2 Ovarian Cysts. 3/22/12-Lap to remove cysts, look for endo, and see if tubes are clear. 3/22/12-Diagnosed with Severe Endo(tubes are clear). 4/4/12-Post op OBGYN appointment. Told chances of conceiving naturally are very low, but told conceiving in the next few months is our best chance due to being cleaned out during Lap. Referred to a RE. RE said IVF is our only chance to get pregnant. Told only a 20% chance even with two put in. 9/5-Lupron 9/20 Stims(Menopur & Follistim) 9/30 Trigger time 10/2 ER 10/3 fert report-out of 7 eggs retrieved only 2 fertilized. Hello "Thing 1 and Thing 2!" Kinda sad there is none to freeze. Because only 2 we will have 2DT to get them back into a natural envionment 10/4 ET. Found out that only 1 divided. We love you "Thing 2." Thing 1 is now snuggled inside me and we are praying it will be our take home baby! **Did not even make it to my beta, the day before on 10/16/12 I got my F'in period** Such a stab in the heart. Nov 2012-Moving onto domestic newborn adoption! Can't wait for my take home baby. We will try IVF again after 1-2 years of a clear head. Need a break from infertility treatments/issues for my mental sanity! image

    Update: I just received my official schedule and we will be doing our FET on 10/26. I go back in to see the RE on 10/19 for another u/s and b/w to make sure everything is looking good!

    QOTW: As of August I am currently a SAHW and am loving it. I was working for a major bank as an operational manager but wasn't really happy with my job.  It was extremely stressful and had long hours. DH and I had already agreed prior to IF that I would need to get a different job once we had a baby that would be more accommodating to raising a family. Once we started IF treatments we decided to give me a break so I can focus on this. I don't know when I will get another job but for now I am enjoying being home!

    If I could do anything I want i would open up my own bakery. I LOVE baking and am constantly trying new recipes!

    I have been as they say in "hiding" for the past 3 weeks so I apologize for my absence. I just started stimming tonight!!

    QOTD: I am a banker now, but would totally be a travel journalist and have a show on PBS, like Rick Steves' Europe. 

    On 10/23/13 Baby Sophie and Baby Gabriel born at 21+5 weeks. They grew wings and flew away from us. May God bless them always. We love you beans!

    I don't know if I'm in the right place yet. I started my bcp yesterday and I go next week for an u/s and consultation. Dr says my blood work looks amazing. I know after my consultation and u/s I will get meds right?

    P.s. where do I paste the ticker?
