Hello again... back from my break

BabyVDMBabyVDM member
in TTC after 35

I'm back from my vacation.  I haven't been here in so long, I can't believe how many messages I have to go through just to keep up.  Forgive me if I'm a little lost for the next few days while I get it together.

 I just spent 2 weeks on vacation with DH.  7 of those days were in the car.  We drove 5741 km (3565 or so miles) across the US one way and through CA on the way home.   Somewhere around the 2757 mark between Sault Ste Marie and in the middle of no where Nothern Ontario I MC'd in the car.  I can in no way express how awful that was.  The rest of the vacation was spent recovering, on an island, at my parent's summer home with my family. 

It's a beautiful place, near Manitoulin Island at the top or Lake Huron.  The weather was wonderful, the water is fresh and clear.  I wasn't able to swim until the last 2 days but I was in the water for hours when I could.  We took the pooch, and she had a great time chasing chipmunks, and field mice and swimming.  She's a cocker-pug, she can't swim too far but it was great that she fetched sticks and waded in on her own every day. 

I'm back at work today.  YUCK!  Took a HPT this morning.  Really thought it would be neg, because previously I was back in order within 2 weeks but not this time.  It's so wierd to sit and stare and be disappointed by 2 lines.  Ah well, it's always a waiting game when you are TTC. 

We drove through the states so I could pick up some DHEA without prescription.  My Dr here is reluctant to put me on it.  I'm taking .25 mg a day.  I'm not sure what the recommended dosage is, so if anyone has any experience please let me know.

Glad to be back.  I missed you ladies.

    Hey Ladies, 

    Thanks for your kind words.  I've recovered, and as bad as it was, I know it could have been much worse.  I'm happy it's over and that things are getting back to normal.

    Life goes on.  Like my mother says.  Every morning, even on the bad days, there is nothing for it.  You just have to get up and go.

    I'm sorry for your miscarriage. Knowing it will happen doesn't necessarily soften the blow. 

    I'm glad you had a bit of time to relax. Your pup sounds adorable. 

    Anyway, welcome back and stay away from the pee sticks!

    Welcome back, I guess but that doesn't sound like the right thing to say. Sorry for everything you've been through.  Will you be getting your hcg tested to make sure it's going down? It sounds like your relaxing break couldn't have come at a better time..

    First let me say how sorry I am for your loss that must have been incredibly tough.  It sounds like you went to some beautiful places on your vacation.  We have two pugs - so I'm thinking your fur baby must be adorable :) Welcome back. 

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!
