Rawr08 · May 2012

Hello ladies! How has the last 2 weeks been? What is new? Spill it here, anything and everything! I hope you are all doing well. Huge hugs for getting through the 13th alive!

ETA: I thought I was on time with his, but just realized I am 3 days late! I'm sorry! No wonder you were calling me out! Embarrassed

Rawr08 · May 2012

DH and I are house/Dog sitting for the next million years, so we are living between our house and MIL's. It's a painintheass!!! I think I O'd yesterday, luckily we got busy despite being at MIL's house and in her bed Surprise

, but I kind of felt like a teenager again. We are still NTNP and in holding. On the plus side we paid off my car! WHOOP WHOOP. I finally own something. This is huge news for me since when I was with my exh, we had a few cars repo'd Angry

. But onward and upward I go. I sure hope you guys are doing well and can't wait to hear what you have to say!

jenn0021 · May 2012

I honestly fee like nothing is new with me. I had another naturopath appointment yesterday and that made me feel a little more optimistic. She wants me to do a couple more lifestyle changes and eat better. I'll be starting hardcore this weekend and hopefully seeing the results soon!

We're still TTA and I'm still bitter about it. I feel like with each passing month I become angrier about it all. And I feel like everyone else has babies. I try not to focus on it but I have hard days. If only I could get to feeling better, at least we could be trying.

Congrats on paying off the car! That's huge!!!

Laurakat81 · May 2012

I'm finishing up my Clomid tonight and then I guess its just wait and see time. My ultrasound and bloodwork is set for Tuesday and I'm hoping we get really good news and are told to trigger that night and do IUI the next day! But we'll see....I'm so scared something will go wrong. Tongue Tied

VikingQueen · May 2012

I had my pity party on the main board last night.. pretty much everyone around me is pregnant or just had a baby or are talking about having babies and I'm stuck here in divorcee land..

I just want to know when it will be my turn for the happily ever after I was promised 3 years ago when I married douchecanoe..

I have had a crappy, pity week where I feel like it's never going to happen again for me.

delino · May 2012

IVF is on like donkey kong over here. Hubby gets to stick a giant needle in my arse tonight and then retreival is Saturday! I've taken off from work from tomorrow through Memorial Day. 11 whole days where work won't get in the way of my bumping.

buckeyebaby814 · May 2012

Rawr: I would have gotten busy in MILs bed to if it meant possible baby, LOL Wink

I'm cycling with the RE again- woohoo! I began Follistim injections last night and will continue them for 7-10 days. My first monitoring appointment is CD 7 (Sunday). I'm hoping for a better response than clomid (decreased follies and lining my last cycle)!

ETA: I'm having an endoscopy done tomorrow at 9:30am. I'm having trouble eating bread/pasta type foods (TMI- like I throw it up out one end or the other Embarrassed every effing time) so I'm hoping this gets up some answers. My RE thinks it's possible I have a gluten intolerance based on what I told him and my RPL, but this endoscopy should provide us with more answers.

KGS2003 · May 2012

Congrats on paying off your car Rawr! We have one payment left on our Toyota and I can't wait. I also hope MILs bed brought you some baby luck!

As for me I'm keeping my head above water. I have to admit its been super hard knowing all the ladies due in June are starting to have their babies or will shortly. Even though I've been trying not to focus on my EDD of 6/1 it keeps creeping into the back of my mind. I'm also thinking of my loss on 6/17 last year. I should have a 5 month old or a newborn in a few weeks. After so many losses I keep telling myself I should be stronger than this but I'm not. My bump anniversary is coming up too. It's all pretty overwhelming.

My DH is still convinced we will get pg on our own. Me not so much. I'm on CD99. I finished my last pill of provera yesterday. If AF doesn't show up in the next two weeks I'll be put on BCPs for a few months. I'm feeling kinda defeated in the "on our own" department. I just have to keep hoping he will change his mind.

Last year after my loss in June I decided to take a year off of work. I called it my year vacation, with that rapidly coming to an end I decided to get my resume back out there a few weeks ago. Well I've landed myself a job working from home with a great company and I'm trying to stay excited about that. I start 6/1. Hopefully it will help make the day go by fast.

I have decided to treat myself to a home office makeover. I plan on spending most of tomorrow packing up my office so I can paint and pick out a new desk before my start date. Everything else I can do while I'm working but I need my desk set up before 6/1.

I have other things going on with my DD and DH that are keeping me pretty busy these days too. I've also been forcing myself to excerise regularly and that seems to be helping a bit. I guess that's pretty much what's been going on in my life.

I hope the path the naturopath has you on will bring you some relief. I really really hope you feel better soon.

HopingforChange · May 2012

Well, I am still waiting for my June 1st appointment with the infertility specialist. My cycle is easily over 80 days now, but I stopped officially counting because it's simply depressing. And, DH and I are considering domestic adoption through the foster care system, which we have been talking about for a long time. We have an orientation on June 19th. We are not sure how we will move forward, but information is information, and it never hurts to have as much of it as possible. I also have an appointment to check my thyroid, which I should have done ages ago. That's next Wednesday. So, I feel like I am in a holding pattern until all of this is sorted out.

In non-TTCAL news, I am enjoying both of my pseudo-new jobs but working hard and pretty tired all the time.

millejj1 · May 2012

I'm as always busy as a lunatic. Work is slamming. I got a phone call that I had to develop a program summary to be taken to our local congressmen and used in a meeting on the Hill in oh..under a day. I was insane. As a conservation organization, we like positive attention on the hill, but getting something ready in less than a day is insane!

In other non-TTC news, M and I put down our first house offer this morning!! I'm excited and nervous and all of those things. Here's hoping we get it!

I will be having lots of company (family and friends) in the next month and can't wait to see everyone! I'm sure I'll be thinking I can't wait to get my house back once they are here, but right now I just miss them.

I got a chance to be part of a documentary being filmed by the Canadian Wildlife Federation today. I spent about 3 hrs with a professor that is sailing the Humpback Whale Migratory route and interview conservation groups along the way. About an hour of that was being interviewed, so there is a good chance I'm going to find myself on Canadian tv! That's a long way from the Southeast US coast!

and lastly in TTC world. M and I are still technically TTA. This month though..we ended up having unprotected sex when I suspect I was ovulating (I don't chart, so this is best guess from CM) and I'm now in limbo over what will happen. I did start temping afterwards at least hoping I would catch a temp drop to warn me that AF was on her way. Part of me can't help but think how great it'd be to tell both families together when mine is visiting, but the other part of me is pretty soundly convinced I'm not KU. AF is due this week, so time will tell!

ETA: I just entered all my temps I do have into FF now that I have internet again and I got dotted crosshairs about 6 days later than when I thought I ovulated. Looks like we're not making any announcements after all.

Good for you!! I was able to center mine around xmas last year and all that time off really helped.

Not much to update on me, waiting for AF so I can schedule a SIS and get a calendar for FET#2

tdmd09 · May 2012

I'm on my first TTC cycle since coming back off the pill. I used to O between day 18-21, but now my body is all confuzzled. I finally got a +OPK yesterday on CD29 and of course my husband is an hour away at a conference. So I managed to get off work early, drove an hour to see him and take advantage. It was like a classic booty call, LOL. I don't have high hopes that we'll get pregnant this cycle, but it would be quite the story!

VikingQueen · May 2012

PetraStonegirl:

Transfer will be July 23rd +/- 2 days.

*quiver*

Some kind of update, huh?

I'm kinda inlove with this update. Praying for you sweets and also all the other ladies on here about to go through IVF/IUI. Sending good vibes!

delino · May 2012

Holy update Petra! That's crazy awesome! Do you do a mock cycle in June?

KGS2003 · May 2012

Petra that is such wonderful news! I'm so flippin' excited for you. I hope things continue to move quickly for you. Yay!!

KGS2003 · May 2012

wickedsugar:
Let's see..

I sold my house, bought a house (YAY !!) and as long as the lawyer approves the new place's status ( it's a Condo Townhouse) Then we get the keys July 3rd !

I am having a annv. cycle, which is really sucking, we are at CD 50 here..

Wicked congratulations on your new house!

bluebonnetmeg · May 2012

****siggy****

I am just so excited for you Petra! It sounds like everything with the DE plan is going really well! I am hoping and praying so hard that this brings you your take home baby. I think about you and the rest of the 6+ girls often. ((hugs)) to you all.

shanrob · May 2012

Well, I certainly don't have much to add after Petra's jaw-dropping update. So happy for you, Petra! You can't see it, but little Irish me is dancing a jig for ya.

As for me, we are still TTA until at least August, but it looks like even later. I am thinking about moving my acupuncture practice to a different location in the city (I am currently doing home visits, but would love a place to set up camp). That means lease signing, etc so I am not sure all of this will fit it. We shall see!

Gregermis · May 2012

Wicked - Congrats on the new house!!!!!

Petra - OMG, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes Yes Yes Yes

buckeyebaby814 · May 2012

Petra- so excited for you!!!!

Wicked- congrats Smile

tdmd09 · May 2012

That's so awesome, Petra! Best wishes for the cycle!

ufsandra85 · May 2012

we moved out of horrible new england. we are supposed to close on our house in VA in june so in the mean time i am living in florida with family. Went to my new doctor about the tumor on my back yesterday, apparently it has tripled in size in 3 weeks. spent almost the entire day with my insurance company trying to get seen sooner by the surgeon to get the tumor removed and magically they had no appointments until july and now i am going in may 29th. it is amazing the results you get when you cry. My husband left on deployment, my dogs are depressed and not acting themselves, i have gained 6 pounds from living in a hotel for 10 days and going to all of our favorite restaurants one last time in CT. despite all of my crap i am actually doing really well because i never have to go back to CT. i seriously did not like that place, even the sunshine didnt like the NE.i LOVE being in florida. It is amazing how much sunshine can change my mood and outlook on life

ufsandra85 · May 2012

wow so many people with so many great things happening. i just got done reading them all. i am so happy for everyone who had good things happen, there were too many to name lol. my favorite part of this post was having sex on you mil bed though

kate6267 · May 2012

Congratulations ladies lots of exciting things happening I think of you all often... We are on Clomid cycle Number 3 and things are looking good... I have responded each cycle to the clomid... so I really hope I get pregnant this time!.... Otherwise we are considering an IUI soon.

mikeANDjen448 · May 2012

This is my first check in on 6+ since my intro last week. I was reading through them all and it seems there is so much going on! I have to say, I've never had sex on the IL's bed but I might have to think about this one.... It does sound exciting! And Petra-I am so excited for you with the DE IVF! I am keeping FX for you I too, recently moved into a new home so it seems there are several of us now..... I know there are so many more updates and I am so happy to be a part of this family of support now. I wish the very very best for everyone in the near future

As for me- DH and I are still with the RE (have been since 10/2010). We are getting ready to start femara after two MCs and a few rounds of Clomid. All RPL testing was good-so no known causes for IF I originally was dx as annovulatiry but after the Clomid my body seemed to be jump started.... But still had a MC with no reason why.

ETA: fixed typos (damn auto-correct!)

HopingforChange · May 2012

I want to say good luck, Petra! I so hope this is it for you.

And, Wicked, congrats on the new house!

vanessa lynne · May 2012

We are hanging in there over here! I go in for bw and us monitoring on Thursday for IUI #2. I will then meet with the doctor to discuss using meds (possibly femara) for next cycle if the IUI fails this cycle. I hope she oks it. It will be risky knowing meds may cause multiples, which could be dangerous for me. This weekend can't come fast enough.

stillbaking · May 2012

Lots of great news!! Hurray Petra, everything is crossed for you. And Yay Wicked on your house news.

As for me, I'm awaiting AF and then we start on the path of medicated cycles. I had a temp drop this am and am starting to have some cramping so I figure that CD1 call to the RE is going to be any day now. We're jumping directly to Femera rather than Clomid because he thinks that my hormonal imbalance will respond better to Femera. I'm a bit nervous about starting this route, but hopeful as well. We're coming up on the 2-year anniversary of my first BFP, we've just past our 3rd anniversary of when we started trying - it feels like it's time.

In non ttc news, we just got back from the Canadian long weekend in NYC last night and had a great time while in the big city. In a weird twist of fate, my BIL who lives in Switzerland was also in NYC when we got there on Friday so we got to see him for a quick drink before he flew back home, which was a great, unexpected treat.

hungryhippo · May 2012

((hugs)) to those going through tough stuff these days and yay all those buying/selling/moving, IVFing and everything in between.

I'm 1dpo/2dpo depending on your time zone at time of posting. We had miserable timing for the second consecutive month. We need a restorative break from TTC. AF is due on my first loss anniversary.

In other news, running is going well and I'm excited to spend the long weekend with MH in the place we got married.
