Re: ?~?~ February?s Hopeful Hearts Check-In~?~?
Good morning hopefuls!!
Not much to update. Today I'm 6dp5dt, + digi HPT yesterday, and + FRER this morning. I'm scared and so nervous, but at the same time, I'm feeling pretty peaceful. I hope that's a good sign! No symptoms really. A little gassy and other bowel issues, but I'm chalking that up to the PIO. I've also been having a dull achy pain on my right side around my ovary, near my hip bone. It's been there since Saturday, it was gone most of Sunday, and has been pretty constant since yesterday. I've found walking around helps.
QOTD: I love sushi, but I don't think it's much of a guilty food. I'm also a pretty big fan of appetizer types of foods, that's not so good for you, lol. Things like nachos and mozz sticks! yum!
We need a limbo category. :-/
I guess for now I'm a BFP. 1st beta was 14 and so far I still can't turn a FRER positive. So, doesn't look good but won't know for sure until 2nd beta tomorrow.
Ugh!
QOTD: Birthday cake ice cream from Cold stone. With rainbow sprinkles.
BFP#1 1/31/12, EDD 10/6/12 Harrison Gray born sleeping @ 18w6d. You changed our lives little guy.
BFP#2 EDD 10/29/13, C/P 2/25/13, Bye little Ish, we barely got to know you.
BFP#3 EDD 12/21/13, Baby Boots born 11/23/13 My rainbow baby!
January PAL Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
Hi Hopefuls!
Congrats, Daysie!
Big hugs, Boots. I hope your beta rises and you get out of limbo and into a solid BFP.
No real updates here either but I finally got a positive on a digital last night and again this morning. I'l trying to stay comforted from that and stop POAS already. I'm driving myself nuts!
QOTD: I love movie theater popcorn with all of that so-bad-for-you "butter topping" layered on thick. It's SO bad for you, yet so delicious and fun to crunch on during a movie.

My embryo adoption blog: Wishing on a Snowflake
Good morning! I'm officially in the 2ww! We transferred two (one grade A, one grade
yesterday. I'm cautiously optimistic with a dose of reality to keep me guarded, I guess. The transfer was a breeze! I guess I wasn't looking at the screen though when he inserted my embies. I'm disappointed I missed them! I must've been concentrating on not peeing on everyone! Now on to the obsessing about doing everything exactly right! I say that my plan is to wait to POAS after I go do my beta. I just want to be as positive about this as long as I can. We'll see how it goes!
QOTD: it sounds disgusting, but peanut butter and syrup!
Good luck to everyone! Hugs to those who need them.

Can someone put me in the 2ww. I am 5dp5dt today. I woke up the morning after my transfer with 1/2 a PIO rack. My cancer boob won't change so the other boob is now SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the other! I look and feel a little lopsided. Other than that a little fatigue I have no symptoms that can't be attributed to the PIO. Of course I'm hoping for few signs. We are switching from morning PIO shots to evening because DH feels too rushed in the morning and to be honest getting up an god half hour early just to ice my butt is getting to me. Still trying to hold out and not test until the 24th when my 1st beta is scheduled. I can't have the blood drawn until the morning of the 25th so I thought the 24th would be okay to poas.
QOTD: Guilty pleasure? at least once a week I sneak out on my lunch and get a chubby chicken burger and french fries.

Just got a call...only one embryo made it to freeze. I was a bit disappointed so I didn't even ask about the grade. She said that is actually above average. Hopefully, these two I've got in my belly now will be all I need though. Be positive. Be positive

Hello lovely ladies!
I'm 3dp5dt and feeling good. I POAS today to make sure the trigger was out, but I still saw the faintest of lines on a FRER, so I'll have to be a bit more patient. On my last fresh cycle I tested out the trigger 5 days after the shot but I also used a different brand of hpt, so I don't want to open just now that particular can of worms...
Good luck everyone and hugs for those who need them
QOTD: As I saw the question, one thing immediately popped into my head: cheese fondue! When I'm feeling particularly needy, I buy a portion for two and eat it all by myself or until I start feeling sick. I won't admit this to anyone IRL. lol
Good morning! Still in the 2WW here. Though I POAS today 9dp3dt and got a BFN. Hopefully it is just too early!
Guilty pleasure: definitely Chipotle....definitely addicted!!

You can move me over to the 2ww group. We transferred 2 excellent quality little ones yesterday afternoon. We will find out tomorrow if the last one made it to freeze.

Congrats to all the new BFPs!

Fx for you and I LOVE birthday cake ice cream with rainbow sprinkles!!
I am excited about all our BFPs! Hopefully it will continue!
I am hanging out in the 2ww at 6dp3dt. Beta #1 is Monday the 25th but I am planning on POAS Sunday. They still haven't let me know if our final embryo made it to be frozen so that doesn't seem like a good sign. They said once they make it to that stage they don't grade them anymore. We are going to New Orleans this week so that should help time pass faster but I am sick with a cold so feeling pretty crummy and worried about my little embryos!
QOTD: I am a sucker for cheese. Nachos, cheese and crackers, you name it!
There is actually another thread just for March cyclers called the March Lucky ducks. They just had a post yesterday but I bet they'd be excited to have you join. Good luck to you!

(((hugs))) I'm glad you have a snowbaby though!
ET tomorrow, and then I can move to the 2ww group! I'm nervous and excited.
My friend/co-worker in the office connected to mine brought me an 'ET good-luck present'. She covers for me whenever I have an appointment and knows about our IF journey. It's a book about when pregnancy sucks (When you're miracle makes you miserable). She said it should work no matter what happens...if it sticks then it'll get me through morning sickness, if it doesn't stick it will make me feel better about not being constipated.
QOTW: Anything covered in butter. The more butter you can put on it, the more I love it.
Ek! I don't really care for butter, lol.
Also, Good luck tomorrow! Wishing you the best!
::hugs:: I know you were hoping for more!

I had my ER on Saturday and we got 9 eggs, all were mature, 6 fertilized. I got the call this AM that we will be doing a 5 day transfer on Thursday since 5 of the embryos are at the 8 cell stage and 1 embryo is at the 6 cell stage.
QOTD: guilty pleasure is cheese and wine! At least I can enjoy my cheese right now :
You can finally move me to the 2ww. FET planned for 2/4 happened yesterday 2/18
Lining was 5.4mm but after pushing out the cycle with no response RE decided to go ahead and do the transfer. We transferred one 3AA expanded blast yesterday. Beta is 2/27 which is a week from tomorrow so it doesn't seem too far away. DH doesn't want me to POAS at all 
Just hanging out on the couch eating a 1/5 of pineapple a day for 5 days hoping for some implantation to be happening. GL everyone!!
QOTD: I am a sucker for pizza and crispy french fries.

DX (May 2010) = Lap #1 showed Stage I-II endometriosis. HSG normal. Tx with 6 mo Lupron (which did nothing...) Lap #2 June 2011 to remove endo, uterine fibroid, and polyp
IUI #1-#3 (July-Sep 2011): All Clomid 50 mg + unmonitored IUI = All BFN
October 2011 - April 2012: Outta $$$ (no insurance coverage) = back to tryin' on our own

October 2012: New OB. Bloodwork normal aside from slightly low progesterone
November 2012: IUI #4: Letrozole 2.5 mg + Novarel trigger + monitored IUI + progesterone = BFN

U/S #1 3/21: Heartbeat and one perfect bean!! DS born 11/6/13 via c-section
TTC #2 March - August 2015 = all BFNs
Prep for FET #1: Aug 2015: found "mass" in uterus on saline sonogram; scheduled a hysteroscopy to remove.
Sept 2015: Hysteroscopy: mass turned out to be scar tissue(?), all removed. Recheck saline sonogram 2 weeks later showed "stuff" still in uterus (more scar tissue? remnants from surgery? Will see if clears with a period). Recheck saline sonogram 1 week later: all clear! Start Lupron and Estrace. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining only 5mm, add in patches. Follow up u/s 1 week later: uterine lining = 4.3mm (argh!), stop estrace and patches and start estradiol injections twice/week. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining = 5mm
Instructed to keep on estradiol injections and recheck in 5 days = lining still at 5mm. Need to make a decision - go for it? Or toss in the towel w/ this cycle and start all over again next year with a new protocol. Decided to go for it as we had 17 frosties; what have we got to lose??
12/2/15 = transferred 1 perfect Grade B blast
12/9/15 = HPT - BFP!!!!
Beta #1 12/11/15: 236 Beta #2 12/14/15: 503 Please stick little one!!!!
U/S scheduled for week of 1/4/16
I can be moved to the BFP officially for now! My beta yesterday was 265. Rechecking tomorrow, and possibly again on Friday. Fingers and toes and everything else crossed!
I have entirely too many guilty food pleasures - but my biggest two would be ice cream and pizza with ranch dressing. I stay away from ice cream the majority of the time, but I definitely indulge in pizza more than I should
Hello Hearts! Seems like the good trend from January is continuing, yay!!! Congrats to the BFP's and sending hugs to those that need em. I am on the 7 day countdown until transfer and getting more nervous as the days get closer. EEEKKK!
QOTD: I am a super healthy eater, but I have two guilty pleasure foods. Baked Doritos are a must right before AF arrives (I know they're baked, but that doesn't justify eating nearly the entire bag in one sitting) and sometimes you just have to have pizza. I always feel disgusting after and want to shoot myself, but it's always yummy while indulging.
Good Luck to all the Hopeful Hearts!!!

Hi Everyone!
I am on day 5 of stims- I started out on 150 gonal f and 50 menopur, now switching to 75 gonal F and continuing the menopur. Next will be adding ganirelix...First appointment tomorrow to see how its all going.
ER tentatively scheduled for 2/28
ET looking like 3/3 but will know more after the ultrasound/cervical scrape /blood test tomorrow.
Trying to just stay positive and take it easy- today was the first day that I felt any different (Kind of bloated and emotional! But I think the emotional part goes with the entire process) Good luck everyone- !!!
