Re: Friday Entire Board Updates!
Update: i'm on cd10 getting ready for iui#2
QOTD: i'm pretty sure we aren't going on any vacations
but i hope to spend a lot of time in the pool!
A big congrats to all the recent BFP's!!! Let's keep 'em coming!
I'm CD14 today. Going for follie check and hopefully trigger this afternoon.
This weekend marks 1 year of TTC for me and DH. Bleh...
As for trips this summer....hoping DH surprises me with a nice trip somewhere that doesn't involve being around family members. Next month is our 1 year anniversary being married, and I would LOVE to have a nice romantic getaway! Here's hoping.....
SAIFW
We are still on our tx break until August when we go for IVF #2. Of course we are trying on our own...just in case of a miracle.
QOTW: We are going to Seattle next month to visit family and attend a family wedding. In July we are traveling to see DMB in VA Beach...we are going for a few days so that we can hang out on the beach for a bit. Then we start IVF #2 the last week of July...yay!
3rd IVF..Beta on Sunday 5/30.. Fingers crossed!!
QOTW: Hope to go on a cruise before the end of summer.. & niagara falls, NY in June...
QOTD - dh and I learned our lesson last summer when we had to cancel our anniversary trip for an IUI. No big plans this year.
Update: I triggered last night, and my ER is tomorrow morning for IVF #2.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Update: CD3 BW and Baseline tomorrow morning. Then start clomid on CD5 in prep for DIUI#3.
QOTD: Nothing planned yet. DH and I will probably do some camping trips. I'm really looking forward to that.
View Raw Image'>
I'm on CD 5 gearing up for IUI #3.
QOTD: We're going to Martha's Vineyard. I've never been so I'm excited.
at 7 dpiui, going in for a progesterone check this morning.
QOTD: Besides going up to DH's dad's lake house next month, we have no other big plans yet.
Update: My first update in months!
We are able to do an IUI this month considering the timing is working out with DH's camps and my ovaries have managed to go 7 months w/o creating those pesky cysts! Start Follistim tonight....monitoring next Thursday.
QOTD: Not really..DH is always super busy in the summer with recruiting. He travels so much that a) we don't really have time to do anything or go anywhere and b) when he can be home, he wants to be home. Maybe just a quick trip to the gulf shores if we get a free weekend..
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
I'm leaving for my beta after I get off here. Today's 12dpiui and I got a BFN when I POAS this a.m., so I'm not hopeful.
QOTD: No real plans. Probably going to FL to see my new niece. Depending on my job situation and IF treatments, we may take a cruise in Oct.
I have my beta on Tuesday for IVF #4.
QOTD: If it's negative, I better start to plan something fun for the summer, as of now, no plans at all.
morning!
update: I think O is here! (on break from IUI cycle - but at least this makes me happy!)
qotd: we're going to Boston in June for a week for my sister's wedding, and then some weekend trips here and there near home. but it's so nice here in the summer finally - we have to stay put!
On day 16 and going back for another follie check on day 18 or 19 at 13 right now--start growing already! I've always O'd around day 15-17 so i'm freaking out a bit.
QOTD--I planned a wine trip for the family in a couple of weeks at Niagra on the Lake. Should be starting around that time so if no luck if should be perfect timing to drink my sorrows away.
Update: I'm on week one of BCP's. I booked my airline ticket this week and now we're just waiting to hear if my H can get off the entire time so I can book his ticket too. All the other big stuff is reserved. 34 days until we leave!
QOTD: Obviously our big vacation is Costa Rica and Panama! I'm excited about the IVF of course, but also am looking forward to traveling around and seeing a different part of the world. I've traveled a bit in the Caribbean and been to Ireland, so this is a totally new experience for us.
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles,
including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama,
IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!
Surprise! Baby Boy is on the way!
QOTD: Hoping to take a nice beach vacation in the early fall. That will all depend on how this FET goes.
Update: Transfer is Thursday!!
8dpiui The first week of the 2ww wasn't bad, but I have a feeling that I'm going to drive myself crazy this 2nd week of the 2ww.
QOTD: We have lots of possible plans at this point. May go to the beach in July and may go on a cruise in late August, but nothing set in stone yet.
I am having another hysteroscopy next week, to remove yet another polyp... second one in three months, but who's counting??!! I will then likely do IUI #5 in July.
QOTD: We are heading to Kansas City for a little weekend trip for a concert, but other than that, we don't have much for plans. Was hoping for a trip up to Colorado to see family, but we'll just have to see what our IF plans are for the summer...
multiple failed cycles, multiple IUIs, lap with ovarian drilling 4/2008
Finally BFP on 11/23/09 beta#1=36 beta#2 =62 beta#3=139
Liliana was born on March 27,2010 at 21w5d due to infection and pre-term labor
BFP #2 on 6/20/10 after Gonal-F and TI First u/s showed Twins!
TTC#2 since 02/2012 with out RE...
Back to RE 08/2016----- Cycle #1 10/2016 Femara 7.5mg=???
In the 2ww - hoping this weekend's activities distract me until Thursday.
QOTD: we have a few trips in mind, but with IF stuff we don't want to set anything definite. We are hoping to go to Montreal for our 5 year anniversary in July, a weekend trip to Maine in late July, and I will probably visit my sister for in Boston for a couple of days in August.
cd2 baseline today revealed a 19mm cyst so we are waiting another cycle before ivf.
QOTD : I guess, an ivf, but after several busy years with a lot of traveling we're doing a lot of smaller getaways.
Thanks Tarah for organizing!
CD14 of my first month of clomid, temps are looking like the big O is goign to happen soon.
QOTD: helping my sister move tomorrow and photo session Sunday and relaxing on Monday

Update: took last bcp this morning! and started lupron wednesday! hopefully af comes soon, so i can go in for baseline and start prepping for my transfer, and my donor can start stimming
QOTD: no plans bc I am *hoping* i will be pregnant and my RE already told me I can't go anywhere while in his care... so, that will be most of my summer! but i am fine with that
Update - just had a D&C for a blighted ovum, after IVF #1. As soon as I get a regular AF, I think we can do FET. I'm not entirely clear on the timing.
QOTD - We have a family vacation planned for August with DH's family up on Lake Huron. However, it could be impacted by the FET timing. We're debating which one will take precedence... if we'd scrap the trip in order to cycle. I'm really hoping we don't have to make that choice!! Other than that, we really enjoy being home and doing things local, like having nice fires in our firepit at home, swimming in the lake, etc.

**** SAIFW ****
Update-Still trying to lose the weight before we see RE again in July. Have been okay while taking the 1700mg a day of the Metformin.
QOTD-Summer..well im in a wedding in July. I think thats about it. We have a trip to Cancun paid for, we just need to pick a date to go!
QOTD: DH and I are thinking of going on vacation in July for our 5th anniversary. We're contemplating the Riviera Maya (where I want to go and thanks to mrslovebug, I already have a hotel picked) or Costa Rica (where DH wants to go). We'll see. I'm usually the one that plans everything, so perhaps I might let him decide this time. He was talking about the Mayan ruins this morning, so fingers crossed...
Update: We have officially decided to wait until August for our next IVF. In the meantime, I'm eating super healthy, taking DHEA, royal jelly and wheatgrass shots and trying to not focus on the calendar.
Update: Had beta yesterday, but won't get the results until today (I hope!). I POAS in the morning yesterday it was +ve. So, I'm fairly hopeful
QOTD: No major summer plans. Just a couple of events to attend, and hopefully get some camping in. Might take a week off, but just chill around the house and relax.
Yay!! I forgot about these!
Update: Picked the RE. I need to call and make sure he knows when we want to cycle (end of July). I've been to two acupuncture appointments and will be bumping it up to two a week plus herbs and see what that does. And I need to kick start the healthy eating/excersicing thing quite a bit!
QOTD: Well, apparently we are doing a one-nighter this weekend to Catalina Island. Then we'll do a little weekend thing in July to get us "relaxed and ready" for IVF.
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
I am on CD 20, and according to the OPK I ovulated this month! Just waiting out the 2ww.
QOTD: I only have 1 vacation day left after using up time for my surgery and DH's surgery. But we are going to the mountains with friends for the weekend!
We picked our Foster Care Agency this week and we should start our training next month. It will take about 90 days from there for our placement. We are fixing the house up to be able to have two kids in our care. We are putting an age range of 5-12 so we are trying to plan for everything.
We won't stop trying on our own, but with my pcos, it will be a rare occasion. I have my Lap scheduled for 6/18 to check for any endo, but that is pretty much the last step of my diagnostic treatment.
qotd: No vacations planned at the moment, perhaps a trip to detroit in Aug, but nothing is set yet.
*PCOS bio* *Cold Hands, Warm Heart*
On break for a bit post surgery... I see doc on Tues for post-op. Should be going on injectables next cycle.
No vacation plans yet. Big family party this weekend though and get to see my cousin's new baby. Here's to hoping I won't get depressed!
I am waiting for the results of my beta and it's kiiiillling meeee!
QOTD: I'm ending my job June 30th and taking the month of July off while we move to our new house. We're going to be in my brother's wedding, and spend lots of time on the lake on our boat! Can't wait!
Update: I start stims tomorrow!
QOTD: We are going to Minneapolis for the 4th to visit DH's family and then heading up to northern MN for a wedding that DH is in the following weekend. That's our only trip this year!

Living After Losing

After 2 cancelled and one (not by choice) break cycle. I am ready to get this show on the road.
QOTD: We will be heading to a few weddings this summer besides that I teach summer sessions at the local community college (HVCC) so we are home bound, but it still feels like a break since I am a K teacher for the regular school year.

QOTD: My brother is graduating from HS so we're going to NC for a few days. We have plans to go to Alaska in August, depending on how DH's mother is doing. Hopefully we'll be growning a Munchkin by then.
Update: AF arrived and timing won't work for IUI#5 so we're on hold. Maybe July?
QOTD: We have a lot of camping and lake trips planned, mostly weekends. Concerts and then we're going to Vegas in September for my 30th!
Update: Mailed off our fact sheet application to the adoption agency. We'll be waiting to hear from them I guess sometime next week. I'm excited to get this process started.
QOTD: We already went to NC two weeks ago as a mini-vacation. Will probably spend some time up at a hunting lodge my in-laws own in upstate PA later in the summer.
DX: Premature ovarian failure
