    Hi Everyone! It's almost May! I can't believe it's here. I thought it would never come...and now it's here. I have 7 more days of BCP's. A week from Monday I go for my baseline and if that goes well...I start stims that night! Holy crud! It's here! I'm trying to keep myself grounded, knowing that there are so many variables that can go wrong. I'm also starting to make my financial plans for a take home baby....I know...cart before the horse.QOTD...today is DH's bday. He's fishing and probably will be for most of the day. We will either go out to dinner or I might cook a baked ziti.
    3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
    IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
    Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

    I got my calendar this week.  BCP stop tomorrow, then Lupron alone until 5/3 and on 5/4 i start Ganirelix...  i got my box o meds on thursday, and its quite overwhelming.   That 1 1/2" needle is pretty intimidating.... i showed Shaun and he walked away lol... i said babe you might have to give it to me... and he said call your mother lol

    Im going to see Newsies on Bway with my 2 cousins and our moms... i thought the show was tomorrow, but its not, its tonight lol... i almost made dinner reservations for tomorrow but luckily the restaurant doesnt take reservations lol that would have sucked....

    Update: Started BCPs Thursday night! I take those for 21 days then start all of the fun! Depending on what protocol he has me on and how I respond, I may not be doing ER/ET until the first week of June so I'll be cutting it close to having it done in May.

    This morning I'm finishing up cleaning the house before a coworker comes over for a few hours. Her 9 year old daughter is in a dance competition and danced around 9:00 this morning and won't dance again until nearly 10 tonight, so she's coming over to take a nap! After that we're going to grab dinner then heading to a cookoff with some of DH's coworkers.

    Could I be added please?

    We are now planning my 3rd IVF round for May.  I thought I would be traveling in May, but that fell through, and so we are cycling now instead of in June. I am on an antagonist protocol, and I am currently testing for my LH surge so that I know when to start up with the patches. We'll see how far I make it. In my previous rounds, I have not produced a particularly promising number of mature eggs, so my RE is prepared to cancel if things don't look good as we get close to ER.

    DH's birthday was yesterday, and we are going to the baseball game today, then shopping for his gift and finally over to his parents' house for dinner.

    Update: Only three BCP left and I go in on Wednesday for baseline. I am hoping my nurse was right and this bleeding is only break through and not an extended period and it hasn't messed anything up for this cycle.

     QOTW: We are going to Medieval Times tonight and DH is going fishing tomorrow, so I am going to enjoy having the house to myself for once (this never happens when he doesn't have to work).

    Update: I started BCP's a week ago and start Lupron on Monday. I am so excited that this is finally happening! I got all my meds yesterday and it was a lot but I wasn't as overwhelmed as I thought I would be. I'm sure that will change when I have to start the injections.

     QOTD: DH is working on the lawn now and I think I may go lay out back and do some reading. This evening I'm going to dinner with my best girl friends. Sunday's we are usually just lazy.  

    Hope everything is going well for all you other May Flowers!

    Hey everyone! I got my meds this week and I start Lupron on Wednesday. Goodluck to everyone to has already started their injections. I think the first one is going to be the hardest.

    QOTD: I'm working today. I'm less than thrilled about that. I have a wedding this evening at 5. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and nothing seems to be going the way it should. I think I need to go back to bed and start over. Hope you all have a good weekend!

    Hi, can I join?  I'm starting stimming tonight...scary!  I'm doing my first IVF round and nervous about it.  It's taken a few months to get to this point as my lining has been too thick to start.

    I guess I get to be the first cancelled. My TSH at baseline was way, way too high. It will probably take 3 months to stabilize.

    Good luck to everyone else.

    Update:  I started stims last night.  I thought I could do it myself, but was overwhelmed by anxiety and had DH do it instead.  I didn't realize how emotional I'd be just at the thought of actually starting this process. 

    QOTD:  We did a thorough cleaning of the house today.  I figured this may be the best I feel for a couple of weeks so it was time to get it done.  We then took a nap.  I can't remember the last time I took a nap in the middle of the day.  It was great.  Tomorrow's plan is to grocery shop.  We're really exciting people ::insert sarcasm here::

    Hello all! I am now on Lupron and stopping BCP on the 30th. Wednesday is my baseline and cyst aspiration. Fingers crossed that it all goes well and we make it to the ER!

    QOTD: No weekend plans really. I'd like to go to the pool and catch a movie, but we just got apple t.v. and I am glued to Criminal Minds.

    Only update I have is that I will start Lupron 5/4 I can't wait to get this started. As of now DH and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary on a long well needed weekend vacation. Not talking about ivf these past 3 days has felt great. Good luck to all the ladies who have started their process
