Re: *****Weekly Check In 5/27/09*****

  • update: coming to the end of 2ww...having a beta in Friday...start sending me dust, I need it! I'm not feeling real good about this cycle and if it is a BFN, we will move forward with IVF.

    QOTW: Just got back from Hawaii...but we are thinking about going somewhere with a beach for the 4th of July weekend...depending on where we are with IVF...and there will be an obligatory Buffalo trip sometime before September also.

    Congrats to all the BFP's...Woo-Hoo!! Now pass that water over here...I'm real thirsty!!!

  • UPDATE:  I'm officially late.  AF was due yesterday, but hasn't shown.  I tested this morning (13 dpo):  BFN.  I'll test again Saturday if she still hasn't shown.  No unusual symptoms except nearly 2 weeks of bloating and cramping.

    QOTW:  What plans do you have for the summer?  Any trips or plans?
    We generally don't do trips in the summer.  We love spring and fall trips because the weather is better.  We went to Japan last month, and we're talking about doing a fall trip (maybe North Carolina/Virginia) and maybe even a winter trip to Panama.  But nothing's set.

    So, pretty much, the summer will be spent organizing the house, going to the movies, and hanging out with friends and family.  It's usually too hot here to spend too much time outside, so we'll just be relaxing and waiting for cooler weather.

  • Loading the player...
  • I am waiting for AF. After she arrives I will be having surgery to remove a huge fibriod in my UTE...(yep DH is scared but on board)...DH has made an appointment with a Urologist (we can't seem to get the SA sample). He is so anxious about it. He has had several failed attempts. Now I think he has it built up in his mind as something he can't do.

    After both of the above, we will attempt IUI if we can get the swimmers. If not, Sperm donors? is our only option. Although I think we will just give up the fight! makes me really sad but it is ok...

    QOTW: we just bought a house on a lake in KY...we are going there every chance we get to enjoy the solitude and peace. No trips planned besides trips to the RE office

    "Onward"--CathyMD Waiting since 07/5/2011 for our forever child! Yep we are adopting!
  • Update: I am waiting and waiting to O. It's now CD15 and still low on my CBEFM.  I kind of hope that I O in the next day or two, but somehow I don't think I will...probably closer to 5-7 days from now.

    QOTW:  No specific plans made yet.  We have been looking for a new house as we are really outgrowing the one we're in now, however, DH is looking for a deal of the century so it's taking forever.

    We talked about going to Greece in Aug., but no further plans have been made in that area, so it may very well be on the back burner---it also is kind of hard with TTC right now too.  We do keep saying we need to take a vacation, but no plans are being made.

  • I am waiting for AF to leave the house. She arrived with her usual clockwork precision on Saturday.  Hoping for lucky cycle 7. I have my WTF appt tomorrow. I am nervous and excited at the same time.

    No huge plans for the summer.  We are always very busy at work in the summer. My parents are taking us to Mackinac Island with them for a few days in July to celebrate their 40th anniversary. We usually do a long trip in November when work is slow.  I also spend a lot of time working in my yard in the summer.

    Congrats to all the BFPs!

  • Update:  Well, let's see, I got my BFP this week!  And a BFN, and a BFP, and a BFN, and a BFP, and a BFN . . . Anyway, the first bloodtest is in and I should get results tomorrow and draw another sample for comparison.  Trying really hard to keep my sanity.  Thank God for DH and THE BUMPIES!!

    QOTW:  Not really.  I think we are headed to the beach for our anniversay, July 26.  We aren't big travellers right now.  I love my couch more everyday! :)

  • Update: Just waiting on a miracle. AF should show on Monday (I hope not). Since I came down sick and was running a fever for 3 days during O, still up to BD though.

    QOTW: We normally don't go anywhere in the summer. DH work is too busy. I will go to Columbus in August and maybe we will do a weekend in Chicago. 

    Sticky baby dust to all the BFP this week. How exciting! 

     

  • Update: Welcomed AF at 3am this morning and have been awake ever since. ?Am bitter. ?Need to schedule HSG.

    ?

    Summer plans: trip to HI, resting, getting a BFP!?

  • Am in the dreaded 2 ww wait.  If not pregnant this month - onto IVF next month.  Very nervous.

    What plans do you have for the summer?  Any trips or plans?  Maybe going to my cousin's cabin in Wisconsin.

  • QE2QE2 member

    Update: This cycle got off to a shaky start due to 3 cysts, but I'm now on day 6 of stims. I don't want to get too excited, but I'm having cramping and bloating already, which may be a sign that I'm responding to the meds. It didn't kick in until stim day 10 last cycle, which was a little too late. I go in for a follie check tomorrow. As long as I have 4 follies growing nice a big, we can go through with IVF this time!

    QOTW: We really need a nice long vacation, and have talked about Riviera Maya in Sept., but no solid plans yet. ?We just feel like we're always on hold because we might be in the middle of a cycle. So far, our little trips include 4 days in Virginia and 3 days in Massachusetts.

  • Hi everyone!

    My 2WW ended with AF showing a day early-starting with spotting on Tuesday and full on as of lastnight.

    Started temping and charting that today-wish me luck.

    QOTW: We have mini-trips planned every month all summer long but no big trip planned yet.  This weekend we are headed to the mountians/Estes Park for the weekend and a wedding.  In June we go home to Kansas for 5 days for my parents 40th Anniversary.  In July we'll be back in the mountains/Steamboat for DH's parents 40th Anniversary.  August will be a girls trip somewhere for my mom, sister and I. 

    I really need a "real" vacation with DH so I'm hoping we can figure that out for this fall for our 4 year Anniversary!

    Hope everyone has a good week & thanks again for being such a great source of support and knowlege!

  • Update: Just starting the 2WW of Cycle 6. Not very hopeful - timing was really bad. I spoke to my obgyn about an hour ago, and she recommended an RE to me. I'll be calling for an appointment this afternoon.

    QOTW: DH has a ton going on at work right now, and until that's ironed out, we won't be making firm plans. But we hope to spend a week in August, and a few long weekends in the meanwhile, at our cabin. And to visit friends in Virginia sometime before their kids go back to school. 

  • OscarQOscarQ member

    Hi.  Please add me to the list.

    OscarQ - 35, DE, TTC Since 8/08 - looks like I'm the only DE one on the list.

    QOTW:  My sisters and I are taking my Dad on a cruise to Alaska in late August.  Two weddings in July, at least one family reunion and a 65th birthday party for my FIL so it's a relatively busy summer.  And the best part is that my sister will be home from Spain (she's lived there for five years) for the entire month of August.

     

  • Update:  I am on CD 4 so nothing to exciting.  I am going out of town in a week and a half without DH so I hope I don't miss my opportunity this month!

    QOTW:  What plans do you have for the summer? 

    I am going to Tuscon the first weekend in June with some childhood friends for a little getaway.  It is a girls only weekend so we plan to lounge by the pool, do some shopping and catching up.  

    DD turns 3 on July 4 so we have a big celebration planned.  This will be the first year we are letting her see fireworks on her birthday.

  • Update:

    cd13. Just trucking along. 

    QOTW:

     We are going away at the end of June, likely Hawai. Then taking a few weeks off in July/August to spend with my parents who will be visiting.

     

  • Update to my update: I am now spotting and have pretty heavy cramping.  Looks like AF will arrive tomorrow.  On to Cycle # 3!

    QOTW:  

    Not TTC related!  What plans do you have for the summer?  Any trips or plans?

    Our big trips are around our DD's Spring Break...went to Maui.  As for Summer plans we do small get-a-ways.  Palm Springs, Coronado.  We also usually go camping with DH's family for a week but if I'm PG we're not going.  Too far and too cold to pee all night long...LOL. 

  • Hello Ladies!  I'm on cycle day 7 and I should O in about 5 days. I've officially kicked caffeine Yes Now if I could kick my ice cream habit, yummy!

    As far as summer plans are concerned, my in-laws are going out of town for 3 weeks in June/early July so DH and I are going to pack up the pup and head down to their place for about half the time they are gone. They have an acre that they have fenced in where there is a lot of deer and other critters so we like to take our Australian Shepard mix down there so he can herd them instead of us. And we are going to take advantage of that time to get the interior of our house painted and get new carpet (I'm so excited!) 

    After that we are headed to Islamorada for a week in July. Then there are baseball games and bbqs that we already have planned too. Oh and I plan to get KU too Big Smile

  • AF showed up...again.  I am so over that!  I guess I have to officially admit that I am out for yet another cycle.  

    QOTW:  We are leaving for the Outer Banks, NC next weekend.  I cannot wait.  We did not travel at all last year because I was too pg during the summer.  Withdrawal I tell you!  We have another vacay in late August.  We are considering going back to Clearwater Beach, FL, Turks & Caicos (only if I don't get a BFP before then), or Lake Michigan to visit my sis and BIL.  We may do a few weekend getaways too.

  • I'm going to Spain this summer!  I'm a little nervous what will happen if I get a BFP before I go.  But, I'm still way excited about the trip.  My brother is getting married this summer, so I'm traveling to Florida for his wedding.

    I'm in the 2ww.  I'll start taking the lovely prometrium pills again on Saturday and go in for a progesterone test on Tuesday.  I think I'm going to try to take the pills through the old va-jay-jay instead of orally.  I was way too out of it when I took the prometrium last time.  On June 10 I go in for a pregnancy test.

  • update- well i am on cd 4 so there is not too much of an update for me. this is our break cycle from clomid and we are just going to try this month if it dont happen this month we are looking at an IUI in July.

    QOTW-

    I have two weddings to attend and i will be going camping for a whole week. i am so looking forward to that week. I plan to spend as much time as i can at the beach oh yeah i plan on being KU

  • My EDD is 01.31.2009...first u/s scheduled for June 17th.

    This summer no big plans...DH starts school fulltime so we won't be able to take a vacay.  That's okay, now with baby on the way we need to divert those funds to baby things.  I will take a pregnancy yoga class starting in June, which should be interesting. 

    I have travels in June and July for work and tons of committee meetings in August, so my summer is pretty full with work commitments.  I do hope to get out and enjoy the farmer's markets and maybe go camping or something.  We shall see! 

  • Hi Everyone!

    I am hanging in there and willing the time to pass more quickly so we can get to our ultrasound on June 10. ?I am nervous and excited all at once. Still scared that something horrible will go wrong, but finally realizing that Cycle 20 was the lucky one!

    QOTW: ?We are planning a road trip home to Indiana and Wisconsin, probably the last week of August. ?My mom wants us to come get my old cradle. ?My grandmother wants to have a shower, but I told her I wouldn't be comfortable with that until I was a least in the 2nd tri. ?It's so hard to plan things like that when all of your family lives 1,000 miles away!?

  • I am thrilled and feel very fortunate to report that I got my BFP on 5/22! My first HCG beta was 140 and the next one (4 days later due to holiday weekend) was 1100, so all looks good so far. Due date is 1/28/10, first ultrasound is 6/11. Really no symptoms yet and I am very paranoid but trying to just relax and hope for the best. Good luck to all of you.

    QOTW:  What plans do you have for the summer?  Any trips or plans?
    DH and I are looking for a new home. Between the time and money that will take up, no time or money for travel. There is a family reunion in NH August 8, which if all goes well that could be a good time to reveal our news.

  • Hello!  After getting my BFP a few weeWinkks back, I have had spotting for almost 2 weeks straight--so we had an u/s on Wednesday and saw the little bean's heart pumping away (so crazy to see and hear).  I am trying to relax and think that this one is gonna stick--so you can officially add me to the "success stories" list.  I go back in a month.  I think we will tell our immediate family this weekend, although I kinda like keeping a secret.

    QOTW:  We are going to Myrtle Beach area SC for a week with DH's family nearly every year.  Unfortunately it is a 12+hr car ride with an almost 2 yr old.  Abby loves the beach (and so do I) and DH golfs with his Dad and brothers.  It is a good time but usually more tolerable with the IL b/c I can drink alcohol!  No luck this year.
