Infertility

-~*IF + Loss Weekly Check In*~- (Nov 22)

This is a weekly check-in for those of us who beat IF and got pregnant, but sadly have suffered a loss.  It is hard enough to face infertility, but adding in the fear of mc/pregnancy loss makes our journeys all the more stressful.  This check-in is just a way to provide extra support to each other.  If you want to be on the list just respond to this post with an intro and your EDD(s) and I'll add you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Luck to: nancyjane5150 (ET), Mayan2011 (stimming), RachH517 (upcoming move), Gregermis (stimming coming up!), kpirelli (2ww!), and anyone else cycling or with an appointment coming up.

Big hugs to: Anyone who's had a rough week. You are in our thoughts.

Welcome to: jillychris, marieinmonaco, and Aegis2005 so sorry for your losses :(

*Give us a general update on your treatments or whatever is going on with you.

** QOTW: Favorite Thanksgiving dish?

Re: -~*IF + Loss Weekly Check In*~- (Nov 22)

  • I am stimming, night 5. Eeek. good luck everyone!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Loading the player...
  • Update: Nothing new. Just started the last cycle before I expect to start BCP to prep for IVF #2. Will call the nurse in a couple of weeks to set up any pre-BCP monitoring they might want to do. Sometimes they want to check for cysts and such.

    QOTW: Caught a cold from my nephews just in time for Thanksgiving... so no holiday for me- my grandma's health is too fragile to be exposed to bronchitis if it can be avoided. So I'm thinking I'll make duck for just DH and I since there's a medium sized one already in the freezer. I'm going to miss my mom's cornbread stuffing the most though!

I'm trying to keep myself busy. Qotw: mashed potatoes. I love them every day! Besides that I like left over turkey sandwiches! Happy thanksgiving everyone!
  • I am on Day 17 of bleeding/spotting. Luckily, just down to light spotting now, and so far today it seems to be less than yesterday, so I am hopeful that perhaps I am about done with it! My beta last Thursday was 25, went in again this morning, so I am waiting to hear back. I really am ready to move on and hate that I still have this reminder of what happened!

    QOTW: I LOVE my Mom's stuffing. I could eat an entire plate of just stuffing. Oh wow, kind of starting to drool just thinking about it. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
