Re: ~* Nov Turkey Baster's Check In Here!! *~
Update: I'm on day 3 of stims and my first U/S is tomorrow!! I can't wait to see what's going on in there.
QOTD: I love Pintrest! Mostly I've made recipes on there but I have made a couple "things" off of there and they turned out decent. LOL
FX for a strong beta, Maggie, and GL with those with upcoming betas!
Update: Stims start tonight! I need to get my med station (the dining room table) set up.
QOTD: I love Pinterest! Most of my Pinterest projects have been completed in the kitchen (noms), but I do love to get my craft on. After pinning lovely craft rooms on Pinterest, I convinced DH that I needed a craft room. It is turquoise with fuschia accents and I love it. Total number of craft projects I have done in there = 0.
Total number of times I have thought about going in there to do a project = 100. It's the thought that counts, right? 
TTC since 10/2010

IVF # 2 (November 2012) = BFP (MIssed MC D&C @ 8w3d on 1/10/13)
Hey everyone! Update here.....dropped down to Lupron 5 and still on Estrace BID. Baseline appt last Thursday went well.....next appt 11/20th.

Had U/S today I had 15 follicles ranging from 15.5 - 10mm go back tomorrow for another U/S and B/W I'm guessing I will be triggering within the next day or two.

11/11: BFP! (surprise after thyroid & normal hsg),

Baby Will born 8/18. He's perfect.
I am dying to POAS but it's a little early. Usually I'm not an early tester but the anticipation of this cycle is killer. I probably won't POAS until beta day because if it's a BFN, I don't want to have to go to work and sit next to my pregnant co-worker all day. I took the beta day off from work because I knew I would have difficulty concentrating and I wanted to be home with my wife if the news was bad (or good).
I LOVE Pinterest but I'm not a crafter; I mostly pin recipes and sometimes home improvement projects or garden ideas. I am SO THRILLED they just introduced Secret Boards because now I can create a baby board without anyone knowing!
9 IUIs = 9 BFNs
IVF October 2012: 22 eggs retrieved, 17 fertilized, 5 frozen
ET #1: 1 blast = BFP; Blighted ovum discovered at 7w5d; D&E
FET #1: 1 blast = BFP; Missed m/c discovered at 9w5d; D&E
Karyotyping: normal ~ RPL Testing: normal ~ Hysteroscopy: normal
FET #2: 1 blast transferred 10/25; BFP 10/31!
EDD 7/13/14 ~ Induced at 37w4d due to pre-eclampsia ~ Born on 6/28/14
*Everyone welcome*
I like pinterest but have only spent maybe an hour on the site total. I love crafts and cooking but tend to use other sources for new ideas....but not sure why, old habits I guess!
((((BIG HUGS)))) to all the Basters! I'm praying for us all. And I'm so sorry to all of those who haven't had good news thus far. I wish I could make it easier.

TTC #1 since 8/2007 with MFI
November 2012 - IVF w/ ICSI #1; 11/28/12 - ER 12 eggs! 11 fertilized! 12/3/12 - ET - transferred 1 AA Blastocyst
Charlotte Hannah -born 8/13/13.
GL to all the basters! I'm rooting for you ladies!
QOTD for the heck of it: I'm a pinterest addict and love everything about it from the DIY projects to decorating ideas for the home and the holidays, fashion, recipes etc. I'm obsessed!
I am currently going crazy in the 2ww. I feel SO anxious, then just generally emotional from moment to moment. Luckily I have the next week pretty well planned out to help the time pass. I also bought some cute clothes yesterday and today :-) shopping therapy is the best. Beta is Nov 19 which is 12dp5dt. I feel like that is a LONG time. Why are they trying to make me lose my mind?
QOTD: I do not pinterest. I have only heard how addicting it is. I have been off facebook and I really don't want another online obsession. I'm pretty sure I would be drawn to all the baby/kid stuff, so I will hold out until we are pg. I'm also not crafty, but would love to be!
Thanks for the support and well wishes, ladies! Nothing new, just waiting on beta and POAS to watch the lines.
I'm loving the positive updates! Fx for more good news this week!
QOTD: I have a Pinterest account and enjoy browsing, but I haven't done much with it.
I go in for ET tomorrow!! It will be my first fiveday ... The first time I've had enough embryos to make that an option. : As of early this morning, we had 7 goodlooking morulas. I bought some snacks and movies today, now I'm cleaning my house in prep for bed rest. I think maybe I'm a bit more hopeful this time than I should be ... But it feels nice.
I do love Pinterest! I'm excited about secret boards so I can plan parties without everyone knowing what will be there ... And of course so I can start pinning phantom baby things. :
So much luck to everyone I will be thinking about you all!
So excited for Maggie!!
Hugs to those that need them!!
Update: I am just currently going crazy in the 2ww. To POAS or not to POAS... ho hum ho hum. Its a struggle to not grab a test every morning (but I have convinced myself that it has to be morning when I do test). Maybe Tuesday? That would be 7dp5dt. I know a lot of people get + at 6dp, I just worry. Our ET was late in the afternoon and I am sure that changes nothing in regards to when to test... But its just another thought banging around in my head lol
QOTD: I LOVE pinterest!! I spend a lot of time in the Humor and holiday sections. I have tried a couple recipes that were good, but I have YET to find a hair tutorial that I have had success with. Each one has made my hair look like a lionc's mane. lol!!
My cycle got converted to an IUi due to poor response
IVF attempt 2 will be in January. Good luck to all the other basters!
I recently joined Pinterest and have enjoyed it! I'm excited now about the private boards so I can have an IF board!
GL basters!!!!!!
I don't Pinterest. I signed up and even though I am good with the tech stuff couldn't figure it out or get into it. But maybe one day since everyone else seems to love it so much!

I'm stimming now :-) Today is day 5 of Gonal F (and low dose Lupron). U/S and b/w tomorrow and hope to see some little follies growing.
QOTD: I use Pinterest in waves - I'll be obsessive for a few days and then take a bit of a break. I've pinned a bagillion recipes :-) I'm kind of crafty - I knit. I like the idea of alot of the DIY stuff, but never actually get around to execution.

QOTD: I'm addicted to Pinterest! We just finished making floating shelves for my bathroom
Day 4 of stims and go in tom morning for U/S and B/W. Then prob start the menopur and Ganirlex. Starting to feel a little bloaty and thirsty. My af lasted an extra day after the failed cycle. I was very moody yesterday too. Thinking the pio is finally leaving my system because today I felt a lot better. FX this cycle works.
I love pinterest! I have a whole bunch of recipes and such on there. I think I will try a bunch of recipes over the holidays!

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
Had my FET yesterday at 11:00am and transferred one beautiful looking thawed blastocyst. I had a nice day of bed rest, with DH taking good care of me, going to the grocery store, cooking dinner, and bringing home flowers.
I'm already trying to talk myself out of POAS. I am very tempted to start ASAP. I would like to at least make it to Thurs. Does anyone know if you get an extra "dpo" day when you do a frozen transfer? They froze on day 6.
Fingers crossed! Good luck to everyone!
Also, I don't really pinterest and am not particularly crafty, although I really wish I were! I like to bake and occasionally have done a couple home projects that weren't a total disaster.
Thanks for putting this update together!!
I'm on day 2 of stimming Bravelle lowdose HCG. Go in for 1st monitoring on Tuesday morning.
I love Pinterest!! And my waistline can prove it. I've become quite the cook because of it.

Hi Basters!
i'm in cd14 of my natural FET. I had an u/s today and my lining was 8 and my follicle was 16. It needs to be18 or bigger so I have to go back tomorrow and will most likely trigger tomorrow night, my transfer should be six days later.
ETA: my lining was 10 and my follie was 18 this morning, looks like I'll be triggering tonight for a transfer on Sunday the 18th.
QOTD: I enjoy browsing on pintrest but I prefer to waste my time on the bump and Facebook:)
Hi all-
I am on day 7 of stimms and have an ultra sound tomorrow. Hoping to see some good growing follicles.
I love pinterest. I mostly use it for recipes and decorating. I like that I have some place to go back and see the ideas I found online.
ET is tomorrow!!!! I'm halfway between excited and petrified....eeeep!!
I LOVE Pinterest but I'm not quite so crafty so nothing really turns out like it looks online
NTNP 2009-2012 TTC since 2012:
Jack has handpicked his sibling up there
My blog about IF and loss ... Kate's IF Blog
Congrats Maggie! FX for you!
Tomorrow is my ET. I getting really excited and just hoping for the best. Plus I'm looking forward to spending the day on best rest with DH. We plan to take a nap and watch some movies.
QOTD: I LOVE Pintrest!!! I go on there more than FB. I'm not really crafty, but I enjoy to get recipes off of there. It's also the only place where I have "come out" about my IF struggles.
Me: 29, Mild DOR
DH: 31, SE mostly normal, 1st SE morph 5%, 2nd SE morph 15%...yeah!.
BFP July 2011, Natural MC August 2011.

Well I had my beta yesterday. Beta was 38. Dr would have liked to see it higher but of course couldnt tell me more until Tuesday for Beta #2. I just pray that we are not heading to another ectopic or chemical.
QOTD: Do you Pintrest? Are you crafty?
Yes I do pinterest. I am somewhat crafty. I dont have tons of patience, so if its long and elaborate, then I avoid the project.
TTC since Sept 2009, 2 uterine septum surgeries (Jan and March 2011), 1 chemical pregnancy (4/11), 1 ectopic pregnancy (8/11), and missed m/c at 11w5d (3/12)

Hi Basters!
Our fert reports have been great since last Thursday's ER. We had 14 retrieved, 14 mature and 11 fertilize. The 11 are still growing! 2 are lagging behind, but the other 9 are in good shape according to the nurse that just called me. We are going in tomorrow for a 5 day transfer and then the 2WW begins!
QOTW: No Pintrest for me and I can only wish I was crafty.
Me: 31 | DH: 31
Unexplained Infertility
7/12-9/12: IUIs #1-#3 = BFN
11/12: IVF #1 - Transferred 2 blasts (1 frozen) = BFP!
Beta#1 (11/21) - 194, Beta#2 (11/26) - 1222, Beta#3 (12/2) - 9535 (It's twins!)
Good luck to all of my fellow basters! I'm still stimming; I get my first estradiol results after 4 days of stimming later today. Cautiously optimistic -- I can feel stuff going on down there in my ovary region.
QOTD: I'm not very crafty, mostly because I had a really demanding job the last 7+ years that took up many evenings and weekends, so I didn't have time. I have a less crazy job now, so I may have time for a hobby! My best friend is a knitter, so I'm thinking of asking her to teach me.
In the 2WW. Ended up with 2 to freeze. Levels came back a little low today so i'm trying not to freak out as i'm convinced the last loss was due to low progesterone. But that was at 6 at beta and it's 9.4 two days after transfer so hopefully it will start going up. I just wish something would go right so I could stop stressing out all the time.
QOTD-no I am not crafty at all.
Update - My period started today (day 9 of Lupron), ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday morning. Should be starting my stims this weekend if we get the "all clear" on Thursday. Getting really excited!!!
QOTD - I browse Pintrest... there are so many cute ideas! I am a pretty crafty person, but I just have a hard time finding time to do it all. I promised myself I would set aside some "special" time for me and my daughter to so some crafts during the next few weeks so that I don't becoming completely fixated on my IVF.
Mine were also frozen on day 6, but I still consider it a day 5 FET. My blasts were rated 4AA, if they were 5 or 6 (hatching or hatched), then I'd consider it a day 6 FET. I just view their development as 5 days old at day of transfer. So, today I am 7dp5dt and I consider that "12dpo". My RE always does betas at 14dpo and that's when mine is also. (I could be wrong though and maybe that contributed to my early BFP). Good luck!
Also, congrats on the + beta, Cheryl! I know it's not as high as you'd like, but it is not low enough to worry just yet. Fx for beta #2!
Update: Way understimmed, so my cycle has been cancelled. Waaaah!! I'll most likely be a snow bunny.
I'm obsessed with Pinterest!

Hi Ladies! Had my last monitoring appointment this morning and follies are right on track, so I got the order to trigger tonight! ER is Wednesday at 7:30am! I'm so excited and nervous. I stimmed for 10 nights total, the last three nights my Follistim was decreased due to rising E2 level. Today they saw at least 5 mature-size follies and about 10 others that could catch up.
QOTD: I love Pinterest but haven't been on in a while. I am excited about the new "secret" boards that you can have!
We just had our ET on Monday and transfered 1 Grade A egg and my first beta is 11/25.
Good luck to everyone!
Got a + on hpt yesterday with a faint line, and today's line was way darker! YEA!!!!
