  • I am on CD 5, so on my third day of gonal-f shots. I over stimulated last cycle (my first on injectables), so I am only on 37.5. Praying that this cycle will be different than the last! Good luck to everyone!

    I am not cycling right now.  I have been saving for IVF, recently went to my credit union to inquire about a loan, were able to refi our cars and pull out the "equity."  I will be calling later this week to set up IVF.  I believe I will be starting birth control in the next few weeks.  Hooray!

  • We are moving on with adoption!!  I cannot tell you how happy this makes me, I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I once again have something to look forward to.

    Planning on talking with a friend who has started the process in our area- And we'll save $, and hopefully start next year....

     

    Surprise BFP after 5 yrs of TTC
  • I am currently in the 2ww, but I just can't make myself feel too optimistic about it. I honestly expect another BFN.

    This was our last IUI for a few months. We have been TTC for 2 years and felt that we need to take a little time for ourselves. We will be taking a vacation and enjoying the spring/early summer. We will come back to treatment in July-Aug. Unless of course we get a miracle BFP from this IUI!
