    Big hugs to Jeanna, hope you're feeling better.  I hope your holiday travels prove to be a nice distraction to get you rested and prepped for stims for IVF #2.

    Nothing much to update on my end.  My update above is current, and I go in for u/s #1 this Friday.  FX, all goes well, and I go back the following Friday for u/s #2.  Wishing everyone the happiest of holidays!

    QOTW: My parents will travel the .5 mile to our house on Christmas morning, and then later in the day, we'll travel about 35 miles to DH's parents.

    I was wondering how you were.  I am sorry that this wasn't your month.

    I went for a monitoring appointment yesterday.  I only had 2 follicles so far that were 9 and 11.  I go Friday for another u/s and will hopefully trigger this weekend.  They lowered my dose to 100 so I am hoping I will not overstim this month. 

    QOTW:  This Christmas we do not have to travel to NY!   I am hosting a party 12/24 (I was going to cook but decided to have it catered) and my mom is doing Christmas.  My family is coming to NC.  So relieved and excited.

    Hi all :)

    I am going to trigger in about 8 hours, IUI is set for Fri morning. I have 2 follies that should be mature, maybe 3.

    We are hosting again this year...I like it better than taking our bunch to other people's houses LOL.

    I am in the 2WW. I did ovulate and we timed things good but I am hoping the supplement SO is taking help with his motility. We'll see in a few days! This would be a wonderful late Christmas present!

    QOTW: All our family is local so we don't really travel far!

    Not much to report here. My second beta on Monday was 762, so they scheduled my u/s for January 7th. I wish it was sooner!

    The furthest I will travel this year is about 20 miles. My family all lives fairly close, so we never travel around Christmas.

    Holy cow, that's an amazing number!  You are definitely the rockstar of our little group.  I can't believe they are making you wait that long. I guess it makes sense, so you'll be able to see everything at once, instead of piecemeal like I'll (hopefully) be doing, but still, the anticipation would drive me nuts!

    Ugh tell me about it! I want to come up with some plan to make them check me sooner! Lol...but they said they usually schedule them at 7 to 8 wks if they assume everything is good based on betas. They also told me to go ahead and call my regular OB as well. I hate the uncertainty of not knowing what's going on in there. I've spent so much time being monitored and checked during this process, so it sucks to have to wait at this point!

    No real update, hoping and praying DH agrees to another try another IVF/ICSI in 2013.  This would be our third fresh, I really wish we had snowbabies.  I think it would be MDLF this time but not sure if we would cycle with our current clinic, go to their competitor, or cycle at our orginial clinic out of state.  Wishing everyone well!!!   

    QOTW: We are driving far, 13 hours to see my parents and then another 13 hours a few days later to see DH's parents.  I hope the weather behaves.  I am a bit nervous about all of the car travel.

    T&Ps to our moms who need them!  NO news here.  It's likely our last cycle on our own before we resume testing in January.  As much as I'm looking forward to getting on with a plan, I'm strangely getting nervous about not letting "nature take it's course" and reconsidering whether I'm messing up God's plan for us-- setting myself up for emotional and financial struggles...

    MH had a repeat SA and everything came back fine, so no MFI for us. Since I'm pretty sure i won't be getting AF, i have an appointment on 12/26 for bloodwork and I'll be starting provera shortly after that.

    QOTW: We drove 4 hours this past weekend to celebrate the holidays with my ILs. We'll be spending Christmas eve and day with my family at my cousin's house which is 5 minutes away.

    Happy Holidays everyone!  And big ((hugs)) jeanna!

    We had our IVF consult today.  I'm a little overwhelmed with how to mix the medicines and do the injections.  I feel like the nurse just sped through it all, and when I said I had no idea what she just did, she told me there were diagrams on their website to walk me through it.  Makes me nervous.  I'm doing EPP, so starting on12/24, I'll take Estrace and Crinone and then I forget what day I stop?  I wrote it down though.  First monitoring appointment is tentatively scheduled for the 10th and injections start the 11th.  Does that sound right? 

    QOTW:  We are staying home for the holidays!  This is the first time in more years than I can count that we haven't travelled East to see DH's family, but this year MIL and SFIL are coming here.  I'm so excited to have DD wake up in our own house on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought!

    Update:OHSS kicked my behind......but finally beginning to feel myself again! I go in tomorrow for more bloodwork and my third ultrasound. My betas have been going up and progesterone levels are good. 

    We're not traveling too far for the holidays...driving into Queens for Christmas Eve (30 minutes) and to my Aunts (10 min away) for Christmas Day.
