^^^2IF Weekly UPDATE^^^

jeannaqueena · October 2012

Good Evening Ladies. This week it seems was a rough one for our board and in a way it seems fitting that October 15th is a designated day for miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss. I think it would be wonderful if we all would light a candle take a moment this coming Monday for all the precious babies that were gone too soon.

Please forgive me if I miss anyone's update. We welcome every member (graduates, current, lurkers, newbies etc.) to post an update each week. This gives us all an idea of where you are in your cycle or how you're doing. This is such a great place to meet other women in similar circumstances to share experiences, cheer each other on, get info and offer support.

Congratulations sent out to:

Gault530?s FET Beta 1 is 399, beta 2 1194, beta 3 10,000 u/s 10/23!

Please post your update below with any important date and answer the QOTW: In honor of our boards recent losses and the October 15th awareness day lets all share a little about any loss you may have had or someone close to you IRL.

74dragonfly · October 2012

Update : CD 4. This month is second IUI with Femera, trigger and we are adding progesterone.

QOTW : I have lost two Fall babies. One due Sept 26 2012 and one Oct. 17 2011. This is my favorite time of year and my losses have put a sadness now for me.

mrsfaz2be · October 2012

I am currently in the 2ww after we originally thought this cycle was a bust. My progesterone level was great, The second time ever (other time was with my ds). I will probably test 10dpo which puts me at Monday or Tuesday.

SigmundsGirl · October 2012

Update: According to Fertility Friend I am 5 dpo, but I think I am 2 dpo. I took my HCG booster this morning, so I will test Oct 21 or 22.

QOTW: We lost our baby at 9w1d on my DH's 40th birthday in August. I misscarried at home before I could have a DNC, and not a day goes by that I don't think of the baby and how far along I should be.

My SIL has had 1 c/p and 2 early miscarriages. Sadly none of her IVF procedures worked and she most likely will never have children. My heart breaks for her and all of those who have lost a baby.

suzie711 · October 2012

Update: I went in for my Suppression Check u/s on Monday for our FET cycle and all looked good to continue with our current protocol so we lowered the amount of Lupron and I added the Vivelle (estrogen) patch. I go back on Monday for bloodwork to see how my body is responding.

QOTW: We haven't experienced any losses of our own but I have had many friends/family that have. Including my mom when I was 15. One of my good friends lost her twin daughters at 26 weeks about 3 or so years ago.

flows912 · October 2012

Update: I'm on CD11 of my first injectable + IUI cycle. This morning I had 1 follie that was 15 so the doctor thinks that depending on how things progress during the weekend, that I'll be triggering on Sunday night and I'll have my b2b IUIs on Monday/Tuesday. Squeee!!!

QOTW: I haven't experienced any losses and my thoughts go out to those that have.

ceebeetee · October 2012

Update: still in 2ww, on 13dpo. Was feeling some cramps last night, but different than my normal pms cramps, and they have gone away this am. I was sure I was gonna wake up to af but didn't. I usually have some spotting and cramps for a day or so before af so I am cautiously taking it as a good sign that I am not and plan to test tomorrow if nothing happens by then.

QOTW: my heart goes out to all this who have had a loss or losses. I had a c/p last year, but I never really felt like or believed that I was pregnant so it didn't affect me that hard. i was a bit sad when three friends had babies the same month I would have had one also.

kofmkg · October 2012

No big updates here. Approaching O with hopefully great timing since DH will be home and in town. Just chugging along...

I don't have any experience with loss and those I know who have suffered a loss are on the bump. I can't imagine the grief a mom endures with a loss. It's heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all of you who have experienced a loss.

efhoping2010 · October 2012

Update: On bcp and doxy for fresh IVF #2, start Lupron a week from tomorrow. I have my protocol review with the IVF nurse today, this is all suddenly very real and I am terrified. After the miscarriage and D & C surgery I feel like my IVF innocence is gone and I know I can go through all of this and end up with nothing. DH has a consult for his PESA finally on Tuesday, his first appointment had to be rescheduled. I am hoping to schedule acupuncture and am considering purchasing circle + bloom meditations and mind/body program for IVF/IUI, has anyone tried this?

QOTW: As per my siggie we lost our babies in July 2012 when they did not have heartbeats and I had to have D & C surgery which just added to the misery. It feels like your heart being ripped out and then stomped on. I plan on lighting two candles at 7pm Monday for the wave of light. I am sorry for anyone else who has suffered a loss. I think the worst part is thinking of what could/should have been. I am dreading my original due date coming up in February.

kimberm0511 · October 2012

I am 2dpiui. I don't know what my deal is this cycle. Usually, I already have that aching, impatient feeling that consumes my daily routines. This time I am just not as antsy. Thank goodness! I still think about it ALL freaking day, but at least I don't feel the anxiety. I really feel like I am numb to it all. If this cycle doesn't work then I think we are going to make the big step towards IVF (if we can figure out the finances). I'm just ready to do whatever it takes to have another baby. I guess talk to me at the next weekly update and see how my anxiety is...LOL. I usually test at 10dpiui (or9), but getting a negative test is really agonizing while I sit and wait for my blood test. I'm really going to try and hold out until 12dpiui. We'll see....

QOTW: I have not experienced any losses. I am absolutely terrified that once I get pregnant that something will happen. I got pregnant so easily with my 2 kids and had no miscarriages or any issues, so I just feel like "statistically" my time may come. I know that's a dumb way of thinking, but if we have to do IVF and then I lose the baby I would be just completely devastated. My mom had 5 miscarriages and I'm not sure if that is anything genetic, but it makes me nervous. I have had a few friends that had miscarriages, but they didn't talk much about it. I have actually known more people that experienced losing an infant. One from SIDS, one from cancer and a few people that lost a twin because of premature birth. That scares me more than a miscarriage. I can't imagine dealing with that kind of loss and my thoughts are with each and every one of you that have ever had a miscarriage or lost a child.

gault530 · October 2012

Update: not much new, just starting to deal with the pregnancy symptoms. Anxiously awaiting our u/s.

QOTW: thankfully I have not had to deal with a loss. My t&ps go out to everyone that has dealt with it.

Lauren79 · October 2012

Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers and support. This has been one of the toughest weeks so far. Last time I knew my numbers weren't great so I was more prepared for a loss. This time everything was fine, I was still of course worried but was having all the normal pregnancy symptoms. I let myself get excited. Next time I probably won't want to talk about it until I am 12 weeks pregnant and in the clear.

I have decided to start injectibles next month. I spoke with the nurse and they said it will increase my follicles. I have always had none or 1 with femara and trigger. I am willing to try it unless I get pregnant this month. We have decided to try on our own this month.

QOTW: I had a mc in July and one this past Sunday.

My cousin was told in her second trimester that she was having a baby that would not survive once born. It was a rare condition and I cannot think of the name right now. She carried her baby to full term and it died in her arms 1 hour after being born. I cannot imagine the pain. I admire her more than she will ever know. She is one of the bravest, strongest women I know.

jazzerbabe28 · October 2012

I haven't had a chance to get on the board the last two weeks. We started our first cycle with clomid on Sept 28. I was tracking LH surge and had positive OPK on CD 13 & 14. So now I'm in the 2ww.

QOTW: I haven't personally had any losses but my close friend lost her baby due to miscarriage at 24 weeks. It was a very difficult time for her and her family, but tat same year she did deliver a healthy baby boy.

hopingforbaby2 · October 2012

Update: beta is tomorrow morning. I took a cheapie wondfo hpt today and can swear I see the faintest line. But I can't really tell. I'm praying this is it!

QOTW: I had a mc at 6 weeks in June 2011. I still get so upset thinking about what could have been and what makes it even harder is 2 of my good friends had their babies around the same time I was due and its so hard seeing their babies growing up and knowing that's the same age my baby would have been. Totally sucks!

KristyLynn26 · October 2012

Update: On Lupron now and waiting for AF to start stims for IVF.

QOTW: We have been very blessed and have not had any losses personally but this past summer three of my dearest friends all experienced a loss. My heart breaks for them and all of you that have had to go through that.

queenbone · October 2012

Update: CD7, on 75iu follistim. This is my first IUI cycle. Ack!!!!! I have a monitoring apt Sunday morning, so I'm guessing the IUI could be Mon or Tuesday?

QOTW: I've never had a loss, but many of my close friends have. I often think about those babies that might have been.

MamaToLuca · October 2012

Update: IUI #1 was a BFN I am currently on CD 3. I met with my RE Wednesday and she suggested we try IVF considering my two previous losses and the fact I haven't been able to get pregnant again after my second loss. I also have a max dollar amount for fertility, so the more IUIs we try, the less amount I have left for IVF if needed. My husband and I are scheduled for an "injections class" on October 23rd at my REs office and I begin lupron on cd21.

CeCe8579 · October 2012

We timed things pretty good but still not medicated. HSG set up for next month if we don't have any luck this month. So just waiting in the 2WW!

CeCe8579 · October 2012

Don't forget to add me to the 2WW list

Thanks, you rock!
