cycle month badges Q?

BzeetyDBzeetyD member
in Infertility

So do people keep their cycle month badges around their siggies even if it was a BFN? I don't know if I can collect all my failed cycle badges, even if they came with a free stick of gum.

I'm not a big badge person so when the June Bugs get theirs I might switch to that. Is that weird?

I mean, I'm still a Spring Chick in June Bugs' clothing, right?

Long story: trying on our own + testing testing testing with 6 rounds of Clomid, more testing, injectables + TI, laparoscopy - one tube blocked, 2 IUIs with Follistim...BFNs.
RPL testing all normal, Karyotyping normal

Moving on to IVF.

IVF #1 April 2012 = BFN, IVF #2 June 2012 = BFP. U/S 7/23 = saw heartbeat but measuring behind. Follow up U/S on 7/30 - no heartbeat. D&C 8/2. Trisomy 12. IVF #3 Oct 2012 = Chemical Pregnancy

Phone consult with CCRM on 12/12/12 - ODWU 1/4/13 - both tubes clear(!) - AFC 24, AMH 3.2, FSH 9.6, LH 5.4, E2 25. DH has high frag rate but improved!
IVF #4 March 2013 CCRM. EP protocol w/ Menopur, Gonal-F & Dexamethasone. ER 3/29 & IMSI, PICSI. 43R 13M 10F 6blasts bio'd. CCS testing reveals 3 normals!!!
FET 5/31/13 of 1 4AA blast - thawed and expanded. 4dp5dt BFP.
Beta 9dp5dt = 181, 11dp5dt = 427. 1st u/s showed a healthy heartbeat! EDD 2/16/14

After 4 years of hoping and heartbreak, our sweet little bean was born on 2/19/14
We are so in love with her.

    I will probably only keep the current badge or badge I have when I get a BFP. A siggy could get quite long otherwise!

    I'm still searching for another siggy pic to replace my badge.  Obviously when I know my next cycle month, I'll have a new badge.  Just not sure what to stick in place of my empty siggy badgey spot.  My furbaby passed away last Oct or else I'd put his pic there.

    Me:40 AMA, DH:36 0% morph, TTC#1;
    BFP#1 4/2011, MMC 6/2011 11wks Trisomy 13;
    BFP#2 11/2011, CP
    FSH: 17.9, AMH: 2.2
    IVF#1 w/ICSI: ER 4/3: 5R,4M,4F
    ET 4/6 All 4 (1-8A+, 2-8A-, 1-3A) BFP#3
    Two weeks of beta hell = Blighted Ovum
    IVF#2 Aug/Sept: ER 8/27: 4R,3M,3F
    ET 8/30 (1-8A+, 1-6A+)
    Beta#1 9/10: 350; Beta#2 9/12: 796; Beta#3 9/20: 9155
    Expecting Boy/Girl Twins! My babies were born 4/23/13 at 36w1d!

    I think it's okay to drop it.  I was a Lovebug on my first IVF cycle, and I dropped the badge once I became a Spring Chick.  I might keep the Spring Chick badge, but I haven't decided yet.  I do hope that you keep the Belly Shots Not Body Shots badge...it cracks me up every time I see it! Smile
    After 5 TI Clomid cycles, 5 IUIs, and 2 IVFs we finally got our BFP!
    Beta#1 (12dp3dt)= 353, Beta#2 (15dp3dt)= 1466, Beta#3 (22dp3dt)= 14,139, First u/s: TWINS!!
    After 10 weeks of bedrest, our two little ladies joined us at 28w6d

    I think it is personal preference. For me, I wanted a fresh start post Snowflakes and Spring Chicks. However, both groups will forever be in ky heart! :) Did you see my badge suggestion in the last post for June Bugs? I'm looking forward to bedazzling my siggy again soon! I vote for a badge vote for June Bugs...soon! :)

    Yeah! Let's do it. Badge vote soon. Can you put the word out for folks to enter their badges, maybe by tomorrow?

    this isn't really related to the replacement of badges, but I'm just making sure.. If I'm starting my BCP at the very end of June, does that still make me able to join the June bugs, or, do you have to be doing stims in the month?

    Totally butting in here... I think the June Bugs group is for anyone having ER/ET/FET in June (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm sure you could join them if you'd like, but you will probably feel really behind everyone else. Sounds like you may want to wait for the July group to be with women cycling the same time as you. It will be here before you know it. GL!
