Re: Lucky Clover Check-In
Hi Ladies,
I haven't been posting much, really busy at work, but here is my update: had another follie check today-6 mature and two others very close to being mature. They're going to call me back this afternoon to let me know if I will be going for ER Thursday or Friday. Kind of disappointed in the numbers, but hoping that some of the smaller ones can catch up.
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be?
some macaroni and cheese!
WFD? (What's for dinner?)
Turkey lentil chili and cheddar jalepaneo bread!
Update: I took my last BCP last night! :::does the happy dance for being done with the devil pills::: I go in Friday for baseline and if all is well I'll start stims that night.
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be?
French toast, sausage, and fresh squeezed orange juice (it's 8 a.m. here)
WFD? (What's for dinner?)
I just put this in the crockpot and I'm super excited about it. It already smells delicious and it's barely started cooking.Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

Hope everyone is having a great week!
Update: Still on pills and patches. I go in Friday for another u/s and b/w. I will most likely start PIO that night (I'm super nervous about it). FET tentatively scheduled for March 8!
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be?
I have this strange obsession with snow cones. I could live off snow cones if I had to. I don't think it's even considered "food" - but it's all I need!
WFD? (What's for dinner?)
I'm one of those "last minute cookers." I would probably eat better if I decided ahead of time.
Farmerlynda - I am so trying that crockpot recipe (if I can get my butt in gear on planning meals). Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing

Will get a call later today on the results and assuming I have O'd then start estrace tomorrow and only have 2 shots of Ganarilex in next few days. Same needle so apparently it will sting a bit on the second one as it will be blunt! Yikes!
Questions of the Day:
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be? Ah, too many choices. First things that come to mind are all the Aussie staples, like Vegemite on Toast, Pavlova, Roast lamb, Chocolate then my mind has swung to Thai food... hmm, the choices are endless

me too!!!!
Good luck to: lawjjg522 - hope you have a great beta today!!
Update: had my u/s done today (after 3 days of stims) and it's not looking too good. Last week I had 5 follies on my right and 2 on my left. My RE was hoping that my ovaries would wake up, but today I had 4 on my right and 3 small ones on my left. He said right now it could still be too early to tell and we'll see how my estrogen levels look. He also said that my u/s on Thursday will be the decision day.
QOTD:
I would love some Taco Bell right now!
WFD: no idea
Hi Everyone! I have been hesitant to ask to join this group because I was waiting for the final "ok" from my RE to start and did not want to jinx myself! I have been around the board for awhile but I am pretty shy, it has also been hard because even though it has been almost 2 years since we started ttc, this is my first treatment cycle. About a year ago we found out our diagnosis of azoo and the last year has been spent on testing, surgeries and lots of waiting!!! I finally got the ok so if possible I would like to join.
I am on the long lupron protocol and my first injection is tonight! eek!!
My baseline is scheduled for 3/15!
Good Luck to everyone!
Welcome pnut! Good luck with your Lupron shot tonight. My advice -- dart in quickly, it hurts a lot less that way!
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

No babies...
BFN
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be? well i had a huge craving for Arbys.. So that's waht I got..
WFD? (What's for dinner?) Never had lunch, So Arby's is probably it.. Nice and healthy....my baseline is tomorrow. My last time on bcps I still managed to have a cyst so I'm pretty terrified they will find something.
I am so full right now I can't even think about food. I just destroyed a bag of Chex Mix.
WFD - I think I'm making a frozen Schwan's meal tonight, but I'm waiting to hear if we are heading to the hospital to visit DH's grandpa or not.

My u/s and bw are Friday, which is when I'll get an up-to-date retrieval day for our donor, so hopefully a transfer mid-late next week!
If I could eat anything right now id have a deliciously bold coffee. I miss it
For dinner i had leftovers from Chilis - steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli
Yes! Me too, except I'll take it full fat and iced
Stims are going well! Had my first u/s today after 4 days, and I had 4 measurable follies and 10 smaller ones. As a DOR girl, my RE was thrilled with that and I keep going on my current dose (300 GonalF and 150 Menopur).
For dinner we had garlic naan with tomato, basil, feta, and chicken. So freakin good.
Dx DOR (AMH .49), Stage 3/4 Endo, Septate Uterus
After 2 years, numerous tests, abdonimal surgery, and 2 IVF cycles, we are so grateful to be expecting.
Transferred 2 "perfect" 8-cell embies 6/12. Beta 1 6/25: 472! Beta 2 6/27: 1055!
First u/s shows TRIPLETS! WHAT?!?! Both embies stuck and one split. OMG
Levi, Henry, and Amelia were born healthy at 34w3d.
Oh lawjjg522! I'm so very sorry to hear this news!!! I was really hoping for a BFP for you! Many (((hugs))) your way!
Tarabella -- FX for some great quality eggs in those follies of yours!!!
Lynda -- Woo-hoo, so happy for you that you can be off those evil pills!!! I know it has been difficult for you to be on them, so I hope that you are able to have a bit of relief before any potential Lupron/stim-related side effects kick in. FX for a great baseline on Friday!!! (BTW, that recipe looks fabulous! I've bookmarked it to try sometime)
HappyIAm -- So glad to hear that your endo check went well!
Roxie -- I posted on your other thread, but so frustrated for you that you haven't O'd yet! I really hope that things got going and you don't end up being delayed much!
Best wishes to those starting injections this evening, as well as to those who are already in the midst of them!!!!
Update: Can't believe it's already been a week since my ER, and that my beta will be a week from tomorrow. Hoping that the next week flies by and that I can hold out from POAS until at least next Monday or Tuesday (still not convinced if I'll do it at all, just would prefer to have an idea of what's up before getting the results while at work). Currently dealing with what feels like every possible PIO side effect (minus the butt/hip pain, thank goodness) -- the ridiculous fatigue, insomnia, and extreme hunger have been the worst of it.
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be? Sushi. Or wine. Or homemade chocolate cake with homemade chocolate icing. (how about all of the above?!)
WFD? (What's for dinner?) A big bowl of salad greens and leftover pasta with tomato sauce.

HUGE HUGS to anyone who needs them. Congrats to anyone with good news!
Took my last BCP last night so I'm only on Lupron now. My baseline b/w and u/s are on Thursday.
Questions of the Day:
If you could have any food in the world right now, what would it be? Nachos!
WFD? (What's for dinner?) I had grocery store sushi (which actually isn't bad from this store since they have a sushi chef on site so it's pretty fresh). It's usually my treat for doing the grocery shopping, which I hate.
