    Yay! Officially a July Firefly for SURE! We got our PGD and PGS results yeaterday, so we are on for FET! AF should be here any day. I'm so happy! I would drive a classic convertible, like a 57 corvette!

    I was just reading your PGD results post! So so so excited for you!

    Thanks a million, WindyCity!!  

    | Married since 2008 | DH and I: Both 30 | Me: Endometriosis and Carrier of an X-Linked Dominant Genetic Disorder | DH: Low Morph | Planning IVF with PGD and PGS in 2013 | Freeze-All IVF #1: March 2013 ER 3/26. 29R, 12M, 11F. 4 5AA frozen blasts. Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder).

    Hi fireflies!

    I got my meds on Tuesday and tomorrow I go back for bloodwork and ultrasound. I'm waiting to O so I can start estrace shortly after. My biggest follie was only 11 on Monday. I'm getting impatient!! Especially since we close on our new house in midJuly and ER/ET should be around then.

    QOTD: I love my A4 but I'd rather drive a Q5 TDI/AWD!

    Day 4 of lupron today, I have a nice bruise from yesterday. I take my last bcp tomorrow and half my lupron dosage. I want it to be four weeks time already, it feels like this get is taking forever to get here.

    QOTD: its not even a very expensive car but I have always wanted a Pontiac solstice. 

    I know!  Time moves so slowly when you want it to move!  I take my last BCP on the 25th...I think...gotta check.  At least we're on our way!!

    Meds scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. baseline appt. wednesday! ready to get this show on the road! I'm having nightmares that I wake up the morning f the transfer and they tell me neither of our embies survived. REALLY hoping this doesn't happen.

    QOTD: Hmm, I am a luxury SUV type of girl. I think I would like a range rover. Convertibles sound nice in theory but my hair would just always be a mess :)

     

    I am trying not to think about this but when I do it scares the c#@p out of me. We have four frostier and only transfer one at a time so in theory we have four more shots before another fresh cycle but I know anything could happen. Good luck, yours is getting so close now. 

    I can relate.  I only have one frostie for this FET.  I'm so concerned that I'll be out before I'm even in the game.  I'm OOP and almost 41 years old, so I'm not even sure what, if anything, will happen next.   GL to you!!

    Nothing new here really.  Just ready to get this show on the road.  My sweet, new puppy Maxx has been sick for the last week and that's kept me extremely stressed out.  

    I got a Jeep Grand Cherokee last year and I absolutely love it.  It's so nice to be off the ground and still drive like a car.  Not sure what else I'd want...not much into cars.

     GL Fireflies!

    Got a schedule: July 24th our 3rd Wedding Anniversary!

    QOTD: My dream car is one someone else drives me around in

    Add me to the list!!!  Just went through my class & am scheduled for FET#5 in July.  Please let this be it!!!  I start estrogen tomorrow.

    QOTD: My car is dying a slow death, so ideally I would love a brand new FREE car (because, you know, I'm paying IF bills up the wazoo!).

    My TTC Journey:
    Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea / mild PCOS (Pretty much a hormone/ovulatory disorder)
    Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). Referred to RE.
    Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
    Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
    Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
    Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
    IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
    FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
    FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
    FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.
    FET # 4 - 2 transferred on 3/21/13.  Bet #1 (11dp5dt): 660; Beta#2: 1,300.  Miscarried at home @ 6 weeks.

    FET # 5 - 2 transferred on 7/12/13.  Beta #1 (10dp6dt): BFN.
    Attempted an IUI in late August 2013, but didn't respond well.
    IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11.  Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB.  On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat.  We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.

    Add me to the list!!!  Just went through my class & am scheduled for FET#5 in July.  Please let this be it!!!  I start estrogen tomorrow.

    QOTD: My car is dying a slow death, so ideally I would love a brand new FREE car (because, you know, I'm paying IF bills up the wazoo!).

    You're in! 5 sounds like a lucky number!
