    I have an appointment Monday morning to find out if I can start Lupron that night. If all goes well and as planned, I start stims on the 30th!

    QOTD: I really wanted an old world type theme in our house and I have a few things that fit that description, but somehow my parents turned that into more of a Paris theme and when they see anything related to Paris, they get for me.

  • :::Waving hello to all June Bugs!:::

    Thank you so much mnj05 for taking over!

    Update: I have started BCP and will be on them until June 1st. I go back on June 5th for b/w and u/s and will most likely start stims that day as well. Looking forward to ER/ET the 3rd week in June.....the week after school ends, yay!

    QOTD: What is your favorite type or theme of decoration in your house? I guess my house is primitive/casual/ earth tones style. We are also looking to buy a house so I can't wait to redecorate with new things, lol!

  • Hi all June Bugs! My cycle got bumped up, but ER & ET are scheduled for June, so I'm still a bug. :) I start stims on Monday! Lots of drama yesterday trying to get my meds. Pharmacy never called back like they said they would and I got busy & forgot. Finally called them and then my stupid credit card said the charges were fraudulent. Missed their FedEx cut off time. Thankfully was able to get Monday's meds orderded from a different pharmacy and received those today. Got the credit card straightened out & the rest of my meds ordered today. Talk about stressful!!

    QOTD: I guess my theme would be "simple elegance". My decor is classy, but not fou-fouy. lol I do have a lot of fleur de lis throughout the house.

    I had a very similar experience Friday! My pharmacy had in my paperwork to run the card by 4:00 my time because that was the cut off from my bank. At 4 nothing had been charged and I called DH in tears, almost so bad I couldn't speak. He got back on the phone with the bank to get the money released again, and we found out they messed up by not allowing an out of state charge. I called the pharmacy and argued with the girl that my order had already been checked by a pharmacist and I just needed my card ran again. I finally got it through and got my meds today as well.

    I'm so glad your's worked out and good luck with stims!

    Gotcha on the list! That's so cool you have paintings from your dad. I have a couple my grandmother did a long time ago and one of them is the center piece on our main wall.

  • Hi guys, I'd like to join you!  I started Lupron tonight, will go for a check and probably start stims on May 30.  I had to give myself the shot (DH did it last cycle) and I was a champ, if I do say so myself :)

    QOTD:  We have a simple contemporary style and I really like how our house came together.  We did our guestroom walls a gorgeous grey/blue color, with beige linen bedding from Restoration Hardware.  It is my favorite room- I wish we had done the master that way! 

    Me: 31 DH: 30
    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.

    Update: we were almost kicked out of At.tain but our doc appealed and we're still in. We're psyched about this next cycle. I've been feeling really positive lately.

     

    QOTD: our house is old 1930 and so are nearly all of our furnishings. We both love vintage items and make it a point to seek out unique older pieces that fit with our house and style. It takes a long time to build a room this way but we wouldn't do it in any other fashion. We love it!

  • Hi, I'd love to join! This will be IVF#1. I started BCP on Thursday and will start Lupron on June 4. Stims will probably start in mid-June. On Monday I have my mock transfer and will be getting training on giving myself shots. I'm super nervous about mixing and administering medicine to myself!

    QOTD: I don't have a style really. My house is pretty traditional. I like furniture with clean lines. I'm not a girly-girl and I tend to go with natural themes.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Hello to all the June Bugs and good luck to everyone!

    My CD 1 came sooner than expected so we started stimming 8 days ago (does this mean I have to leave the June group? I don't want to upset people by butting in where I do not belong. I will not be offended if you give me the boot!) Timing suggested an ER this week with a transferr following, but I am not responding well (only 2 measurable follies yesterday and a bunch more around 10mm) so I might be cancelled/converted to IUI. I go back for monitoring tomorrow morning and decision will be made then. 

     

    QOTW

    Our apartment is definitely a work in progress! Clean and simple lines, neutral colors. We need to spice things up in here now that I look around!!

  • Update: My mock transfer went well on Thursday, we signed our consent forms, and made our payment too. I am anxious for my injections class on Tuesday.

     QOTD: We don't really have a theme to our decor but the majority of things we own are from ikea and are relatively modern looking.

  • Update: my mock transfer results were "you have a beautiful uterus" (what every girl dreams of, right? ;) and my shot class is tomorrow!QOTD: we have a random style...nothing too specific. If I were in charge of the world, every room would be a different color blue with white or off white trim and lots of beachy pictures. If he were in charge, it would be all winter scenes. I think its silly to look at snow in the summer, he thinks its silly to look at beach scenes in the winter. :) we did find a cool winter beach picture that we compromised on, so we'll work from there!
