Let's do an IVF Check-in!

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes or anything but I think it would be a good idea to do an informal IVF check-in and that way whenever the official check-in gets started again, there will be more up-to-date info in this post. Plus, I want to know where everyone is and what's going on!
So...post your IVF update here!
TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs

Re: Let's do an IVF Check-in!
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
I wasn't on the old official check-in, but can I join pretty please??
Update: I started BCPs for IVF/ICSI #1 (antagonist protocol) on Dec 22nd. Baseline should be Jan 10th or 11th and ER is around the 23rd hopefully. I have my HSG tomorrow (I've already had a clear SIS, but they want to do an HSG too just to be sure) and we are waiting on some of DH's genetic tests to come back.
IVF # 1 ~ Antagonist ~ ER 1/27/11~ ET 1/30/11 ~ + HPT 7dp3dt
DD born med-free on 10/24/11
After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption! We are so excited to see what the future holds.
I agree Madelyn. I think this will be perfect until we get the old check-in back!
IVF #2: I am waiting on AF to arrive which will probably be saturday (what a way to start a new year huh?!) then I will begin stims 1/3 or 1/4, ER on 1/15, with ET 1/18. Crossing my fingers no gnarly cysts will hold me back!
Thanks Madelyn!
Update: On BCP until Jan. 7th. I have an appointment on the 4th and I will start Lupron. If suppression check looks good I should start stims on the 17th.
Forever our's October 17th 2012
Thanks Madelyn! You took the words right out of my mouth. It will be nice to have more up to date information, if/when I take over the formal list.
Update: Stopped BCP last week, still on Lupron, AF is in town and have a baseline appt. tomorrow and will find out when I will start stims for IVF #1...yay!!!

Oh wow, that was fast!! Yay, I just saw something below earlier about starting this back up and I'm excited. Now I can easily follow along with everybody! Good idea ladies!! (and hey cycle buddy)
Update: Ended BCP last week. AF is here, but packing her bags today I think. If anyone is in need of her, I'll send her your way. I'm still on Lupron and my baseline is in the morning. Stims soon- right now they're saying NYE, but tomorrow may change things. We'll see!

TTC since 2008
One blocked Tube
Ectopic pregnancy November 2008
M/C at 6 weeks in January 2010
M/C at 8 weeks (blighted ovum) May 2010
3 IUIs with Gonal-f, Sept, Oct, November 2010 = BFN
IVF#1 1/2011 - 32 eggs retrieved, 26 fertilized, 2 trans. = BFN
Time to regroup and heal and FET at some point
The Conception Craze
1/2009- TTTC
After 7 rounds of clomid and HcG, Three failed IUI's with an ectopic pregnancy, two shots of methotrextate, ER visits, breaks, low (3%) morphology One IVF cycle (lupron, gonal-F) that ended in another ectopic, more methotrexate, A Lap to disconnect both tubes, remove endo and a hydrosalphinx, . . .we are finally expecting TWINS from FET#1!
1.11. 2011: Beginning FET cycle!
3.11.11- FET! (DH's birthday!) 2 blasts transfered!
3.20.11- BETA #1 BFP!!! 272! (9dp5dt)
3.23.11- BETA #2 1346!!! (12dp5dt)
4.8.11- U/S #1. . TWINS!!! . . .TWO BOYS!
9.10.11-My beautiful Boys arrive unexpectedly at 28 weeks, 6 days.
I'm on CD13 right now and once I get my January period, I'll call RE's office for CD 3 FSH and schedule a saline sono (to satisfy yearly requirements for ins!). After testing/sono with January period, I'll call with February period and will then be on BCPs for 8-10 days and start stims shortly after! I have PCOS so we'll see how my cycle cooperates....I hate never knowing how long my cycles will be!!
I'm hoping if I have a long cycle this time, then I can start BCPs late January instead of waiting until Feb. (RE will be out of town mid Feb so having to work around that as well but he doesn't want me on BCPs for very long as I got oversuppressed late summer by them.)
Thanks Madelyn for posting this! Good luck everyone!!!
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
I started bcp December 17 - baseline bw and us should happen around Jan 11/12 and ER target is scheduled for January 24! I've had a pesky cyst that absolutely will not go away (even with 4 mos of bcp) so RE plans to aspirate during the ER. Fingers crossed all goes well and the cyst/aspiration doesn't goof things up. As if we need more issues.
GL to everyone who is cycling in January!!!
Thanks Madelyn!
Update: We are gearing up for IVF #2 in March. I started an "estrogen priming protocol" on Dec 20th for 6 weeks, will start BCP on 2/24, microdose Lupron & stims mid March & ER/ET last week of March.
IVF#1: start stims 1/26; ER 2/8; ET 2/13= BFN; FET#1: May 2010= m/c *NEW CLINIC Jan 2011* IVF#2: start stims 1/12; ER 1/22; ET 1/27= BFN; IVF#3: TBD
~SAIFW/PAIFW~
Madelyn: I think Kmart had been looking for someone to take over the IVF check in. PM her on the PAIF board and I'm sure she wouldn't mind passing it on to you!
My Update: I'm waiting for my RE to get back from surgery so we can have our WTF from our BFN in early Dec. Hoping to cycle again in Feb/March. We had no frosties, so another fresh cycle it is.
Ohhh no...I definitely don't want to take over the official check-in...and I think there are some ladies who are interested in taking it over.

We have 5 frosties but they were frozen on day 3 because the lab was closing. Normally they would have pushed me to a 5DT but didn't really have a choice. Hope it will still be ok.
I have my beta on Jan 3rd. It seems like a long time away - I will probably cheat
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!
Yay! I am one day behind you -- suppression check Thurs, hopefully starting stims on Monday. GL!
4 Clomid cycles + 3 IUIs w/ injectables + 1 IVF = 1 m/c, 1 ectopic
