Re: 2IF Weekly Update- 4/27/2012
Update: Today I am 7 dpo and on cd27. Not really feeling anything either way; at this point I'm pretty numb. I've had some cramping the past two days, but nothing unusual, and a lot of watery cm which I think is from the Crinone. I'll be away all next weekend at a scoring conference in Harrisburg so I won't be testing until I get home if I don't get my period while I'm there.
QOTW: I haven't gotten my gift yet
I'm just hoping for something that my secret pal feels will bring me strength, fertility and balance!
Happy Weekend!

Update: I'm on CD3 and going to start my second round of clomid tonight. Last month I felt great for the 5 days I took the pills, so I'm hoping it will be the same this month!
QOTW: I had just came out of lurkdom when the gift exchange was happening so I didn't enter. BUT, I look forward to hearing about and hopefully seeing what you ladies got!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Wow Weez, awesome job keeping track of everything!
Update: 8dpo. I had some ov. type cramping a few days ago which was odd but that's about it. I'm not thinking this month will be a success since I am O'ing so much later than when my follies and lining are ready to go If not, I will start Ovidrel+Clomid next month..
QOTW: I didn't enter the exchange either. I felt like I was too new so I sat it out. I'm looking forward to seeing what you all get though!
I took a break ths month (skipped the 4th IUI). I'm awaiting cycle day 1. When that day comes I'll call my RE so I can move forward with IVF. First step is birth contol through May.
I didnt do the gift exchange either! I was kind of new and just didn't know how it worked. Sounds cute though. Maybe next time!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Update: I'm on CD16. Went for U/S and blood work this morning so I'm waiting for a call from RE's office to find out when I should trigger/schedule IUI. It's our 4th IUI cycle.
Got an email about being a bone marrow donor last night, which is stressing me out a bit this morning. I put more in another post.
On a happy note, I'm down 10+ lbs since starting Weight Watchers April 2nd and I feel fabulous! I am currently wearing jeans I couldn't fit in a month ago and I barely have a muffin top - ha ha!
When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

Update: Triggered Monday, had 2 beautiful follies and 12mmTL, but missed O day because DH was sick. Trying to figure out how to get through the 2ww knowing there's no hope for anything other than another visit from the dreaded witch.
QOTD: Not yet, but I'll post a pic if I can when I get it!

Update: In an IVF cycle - just got a phone call saying that 4 of the 8 embroys that were retrieved made it to the blastyocyst stage, but they won't be ready for a fresh transfer tomorrow
I am thrilled that 4 made it but terrified that 4 didn't, and I am scared now that they won't make the biopsy, freeze and thaw... really bummed that we will have to --- yet again! ---- wait, wait, wait to see how it all plays out.
The flip side is that I have the opportunity to allow my body to come back to normal after the craziness of the retrieval preparation. I am going to heal, sleep, and see my acupuncturist to get my Qi in order.
QOTW: not part of the exchange, but looking forward to my son's 5th birthday and birthday party on Sunday
With 29 kids planning to attend it's going to be off the hook, 5 year old style 
ttc #2 since 2004 Me (35): Stage 3 Endo, DH (34): High DNA Frag
IVF/ICSI #2: April 2014: BFP!!!!!!
ET of 2 great quality embryos. + BFP on 9dp5dt. Beta #1 (10dp5dt): 257, Beta #2 (14dp5dt): 1561,
Beta #3 (21dp5d5): 8,172. Wow. It seems this is actually working. Shocked beyond belief.
1st u/s @6w5d: Baby A hb 124, Baby B hb 127 (Both measuring perfectly!)
Lost baby A. Praying that baby B stays healthy. Baby B hb 175 at 11 weeks
It's a GIRL!!!
My Blog
Update: 2 days past IUI......dreaded 2ww. I had three follies that were 18 mm and my lining looked good. Although the follicles were all on the side that I have the endometrioma so it is unknown how well that side functions.
QOTW: I received my gift from Reg001 - a beautiful fertility bracelet with three different stones. Hoping it brings me luck this cycle, I wore it to my all my appointments!
UPDATE: We got our 2nd round of betas and are really excited that they more than doubled. We have our first ultrasound on Wendesday and I am hoping to see our little one. I know it will probably be too early to see a heartbeat since we will only be 5 weeks 5days, but I am still hoping to see a flicker especially with high numbers.
QOTW: I am sad to say, but I have never taken part in the exchanges. Mostly because I am so overwhelmed with school, life, and my family and I would not want to not do something that I do not think that I can uphold
Cd 17- ovulated a day early ( cd 15).... So now the 2 WW starts for us.
I did get my bracelet from my secret bumpie. It's cuff style with a man that I think helps fertility or blows bad spirits away. Hope it works!
Baby #2 MC June 2008
Baby #3 Born April 2009
Baby #4 due date February 2015
Love this!
Update-CD12. Not using OPK's this cycle. I am just ready to O and get this cycle over with so we can start our Clomid + TI cycle next.
QOTW- I am new but I look forward to participating in the next one!
Update: CD 1, onto cycle 35!
QOTW: I haven't been around much due to crazy work schedule, lots of things have happened since February and every time I think things are slowing down, it picks back up. Hopefully I will be around for the next exchange, I really enjoyed the Sock Exchange!
Congrats to all the BFP's!
Hugs to all who need them and good luck to all in the 2ww!
