Good Evening Ladies, I might be enjoying my last glass of wine so really 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.
BFP?s:
Queenbone: beta 1: 200, beta 2: 670; u/s 11/20!!

Re: ^^^2IF Weekly UPDATE^^^
Update: same as last week. Started MDL yesterday and start stims tomorrow night, woohoo!
QOTW: Thankful for DD most of all, as well as DH, family, friends, a good job, roof over my head, etc. All-in-all, I have things very good, and I'm incredibly thankful and grateful for it all!
IVF #1: 9/11: ER: 12R, 11M, 10F, No Frosties; 5dt: 2 blasts, 1 morula; DD born 6/3/12
IVF #2: 11/12-12/12: ER: 20R, 20M, 16F, 4 Frosties; 5dt: 3 blasts, DS born 8/9/13
Update: Nothing to report
QOTW: I'm thankful for my two sweet, thoughtful boys. DS2's new thing is to pat or rub your back if he thinks you need it. DS1 fell down today and was crying and DS2 walked up and started patting his back. Tonight I was feeling sick and DH is working late so the boys witnessed how sick I am. DS1 felt so sorry for me and took good care of me and told me he hopes I feel better in the morning. I am so thankful for them!
GL to all the ladies with betas this week! FX for lots of Thanksgiving miracles!
Update: Had Beta #3 and confirmed what we already knew, #s went down from 60 to 14. Natural M/C started Tuesday night. I've been much more emotional and upset than I thought I would be. We can't get in for a follow up appt until Dec 13th, so we're taking a short break to regroup (and go to Hawaii) and hopefully will be able to start meds for FET #2 in Dec.
This week I am thankful for my son. I don't know how I would get through all this without him, he is my light and knows how to cheer his mama up!
Update on me-I just received my meds for IUI#1. I'll be starting follistim injections sometime this week. I'm just waiting on AF so I can go in for my baseline and get this IUI started.
QOTW-I'm so thankful for my son and my family.
8 days to wait! I hope this is our month. I go Monday to have my progesterone levels checked and schedule a SA for SO. If this isn't our month on to cycle #6 and Clomid unless SO has an issue. Then we will discuss a plan then.
QOTW: I am truly thankful for my DD and SO! I am also thankful for a wonderful family and great friends. I have an excellent support system!
Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
Update: My retrieval is scheduled for Monday! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I'm dreading the progesterone injections though. You would think by now I would be used to injections!
I have many things to be thankful for right now and of course I am most thankful for my husband, my son and family. I am also very thankful to have a very thoughtful and understanding boss who has allowed me to come and go as needed during this whole process. I've been at my doctors office almost everyday this week and I know others would not be so understanding. She is the best!
Update: I hate IF!!! I'm 7dp5dt and I broke down and POAS this morning. Of course it was a BFN. Someone please tell me I'm just early because Beta isn't until next Wednesday.
I guess hoping tomorrow brings better results and I'm not out yet.
QOTW: I'm so thankful for my wonderful DH who has been so sweet and supportive and my DD who can always cheer mommy up no matter what. I love my family more than anything!

Kristy Lynn-
Don't know if this helps or not-- my RE said the soonest you get accurate results POAS would be 10dp5dt. GL!
Thank you! I know I'm not out yet its just hard to remember that when you see that BFN month after month. Thanks again.
First Time: DD born 3/2011 after trying for two years, LAP, and two IUIs w/ Femera + Ovidrel
This Time: 4/12 Femera IUI #1 BFN, 5/12 Femera + TI BFN, 6/12 Femera + IUI #2 BFN, 7/12 Femera + IUI #3 BFN, 8/12 Follistim IUI #4 BFN

Update: For those who missed my informal update post, we are on hold for IVF #3. I had another second opinion (maybe a fourth opinion by now), and I think I'm going to move forward with this RE. She wants to monitor me for a natural cycle to see how my follicles develop naturally, and also to finish up some of the recurrent loss labs she likes to have done. If all goes as expected, I think we would move on with IVF in January. I guess it is just as well, being that this is such a crazy time of year anyway.
QOTW: I am thankful for my ability to work and earn a living doing something that I love.
