    No new drs appointments with me so no news to report. I got in trouble at work for mouthing off to the president of one of our subsidiaries and my only thought was who cares .... sad what my job has turned me in to. We had dinner at home for V-day and it was really like any other night (boring .... lol)

    Yes I have furbabies - lots of them! I am a volunteer for a local animal rescue and we rescue hundreds of animals a year. Sometimes part of the rescue process is fostering until we find a permanent home for them. I am considered a foster failure. I foster and the permanent home they find is mine ... lol

    I have a 4 pound mini Maltese, a 70 pound Pitt bull and a 120 pound black lab. I also have a Himalayan, a Persian and a tabby cat. I won't go in to how many fish we have or the number of fish tanks we have (think big 6 foot long tanks, yeah we have lots of animals).

    Hello Lovely Ladies,

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).  I'm doing well.  Nothing knew here.  Pretty boring.  DH and I were talking about our ten year anniversary in June last night.  We are not sure exactly what we want to do.  Maybe a short road trip.  I would love to re-new our vows--He's not into that.  What do you ladies think?

    How was your Valentines day?   Amazing.  We did not have any plans and knew that all restraints were going to be a mad house, so we decided to go to Village inn for our dinner.  We love breakfast for dinner!  It was even better that there was not a wait :)  

    Once we were home we rented a movie and spent some good quality time with one another!  It was amazing!

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!  I have two lovely furbabies and a reptile baby.  Sammy-our kitty, is a manx (no tail) was adopted in December.  Frankie, our Cavilier King Charles Spaniel, was adopted in January.  My furbabies love each other.  I love that they love each other. 

    Our Female turtle named George was brought home by Dh after my second failed IUI.  The funny thing is she has a cute personality.  Who knew turtles had personalities.  She is so curious it's adorable!!!

    Wow, that is amazing!  I love furbabies and other animals.  We also have fish too.  We have a pond in our back yard, in the winter we bring the fish in.  I'd love to foster animals, but I know Dh wouldn't want me too :(

    My Valentine's was good! On the actual day we just stayed home and watched TV. We went out to dinner on Saturday in hopes that the restaurant wouldn't be as crowded. We went ahead and made reservations just in case and were sat at a table as soon as we walked in...past a ton of people waiting. Stick out tongue

    We have Maxi (pic in sig). DH got her before we met and she is all about him. She'll only play with me if she knows he's not home. I can arrive home and look outside and she'll be laying down, but as soon as he pulls up in the driveway she's running to the fence and then to the back door. She's a boxer and if you look carefully you can see the tip of her tail above her right ear. DH didn't have the heart to get it docked when she was a pup and it could be considered a weapon!

    Very exciting CD2 going on. I took my doxycycline like a good girl. I did book our travel plans for Denver (opted for the more expensive, but fully refundable version) and so that feels good.

    V-day: We went to the gym, but on Friday we had a massage and went out to eat and to the used book store and to the music/cd store. It was great!

    QOTW: We have 3 furry boys at home. 3 cats. 1 old orange boy (19 or 20??) who has been mine since college. 1 young (3 years old) rascal who looks like a gray fox (we got him shortly after our 1st loss and it was one of the best decisions we ever made) and 1 inherited manatee of an orange cat, he's 12 or so. We love the inherited fellow (from Mister D's mother, when she passed away), he's a character, but honestly, 3 cats is 1 cat too many for us.

    This is one of my Fav. Pics of George.  It was taken this fall.  It was getting too cold for her to be outside.  We were letting roam the house.  Once we adopted Sammy we couldn't, she wasn't sure how to react around George and I didn't want Sammy to injure George.

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).

    Just waiting for my beta on Friday. The days are dragging....

    How was your Valentines day? 

    Really great. I was super sick the night before but the night of Valentines was great. I made steak at home and we ate in our formal dining room by candlelight.

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!

    I love my furbabies! I have two cats and one dog. All rescues. Cats are named Chloe and Nadia, and the dog is Oscar. Oscar was rescued from a severe neglect/abusive situation and his previous owner had abused him so bad he had a broken skull and he was blind in his right eye. He was only 8 months old! How someone could do that to a puppy is beyond me. He's four years old now and the sweetest most loving and loyal dog I could ever ask for. Many people think he's not very cute, and I admit he is weird looking. He has giant bat ears, a big bully chest, brindle wire coat, and is long like a weiner dog. But I think he's handsome but thats because I'm his mom.

    Chloe was rescued from Pahrump, NV from a hoarding situation with 700+ other cats. She was one of the lucky that survived and was flown out to California where we took her in. Nadia was poisoned by some sick bastrd that put poison in cat food and killed over 100 cats and 4 dogs. She was only 9 mos old and pregnant herself and clung to life. She lost her kittens but made it back to health and now shes a super fat 14.5 pound happy calico in a big house. Life is good for all of them and I'm the lucky one for having them in my life. :)

    I had my hysteroscopy on Monday and all was clear in the ute.  I am starting estrogen on Friday and stims start next Thursday.   I actually feel a bit sick about doing this all over again and not at all excited. 

    We had a nice valentines day - DH bought me cupcakes from the woman who made our wedding cake - she is closing down so it would be the last time we could get cupcakes from her.

    We had a 5 year old Cockapoo and coming from someone who has never had a dog in her life before this one - he has brought me more joy than I ever expected.  I can not even imagine my life without him.  We used to have a goldfish and a snake but they both died this past year.

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).

    I have been really tired. I am also stalled in my weight loss. I work out at the gym 3-4 days a week and have gained weight! I am really good during the week, but not so much on the weekend, so I need to be better.

    I need to call and make an appt with our new RE. We haven't cycled since last spring, but I just don't want to even start again. Our last RE said he had no idea what to do next. I just need to do it, but this will be our 3rd and I just get all sad and upset about how we even got here. Our 6th wedding anniversary was last weekend, so 5 1/2 years of TTC. I am just so tired.

    How was your Valentines day?

    we went out to eat. It was okay. The place we alwasy go closed, so we had to find somewhere new. We'd gone there 8 years in a row.

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!

    we have two dogs. An older one who is 10 and a puppy who is 1.5 years. He is a little crazy and high energy, but we love him.

    My fantasy pet is a little pink pig that would obviously turn into one hefty lovable oinker, but I love the idea of it. Your female turtle named George is along the same lines of a comical, yet extraordinary family pet. I have mad turtle love for George! I also have mad love for my two Yorkies.

    Very exciting CD2 going on. I took my doxycycline like a good girl. I did book our travel plans for Denver (opted for the more expensive, but fully refundable version) and so that feels good.

    V-day: We went to the gym, but on Friday we had a massage and went out to eat and to the used book store and to the music/cd store. It was great!

    QOTW: We have 3 furry boys at home. 3 cats. 1 old orange boy (19 or 20??) who has been mine since college. 1 young (3 years old) rascal who looks like a gray fox (we got him shortly after our 1st loss and it was one of the best decisions we ever made) and 1 inherited manatee of an orange cat, he's 12 or so. We love the inherited fellow (from Mister D's mother, when she passed away), he's a character, but honestly, 3 cats is 1 cat too many for us.

    The cycle is officially ON! Excited for you!  Party!!!

    Hello Lovely Ladies,

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).  I'm doing well.  Nothing knew here.  Pretty boring.  DH and I were talking about our ten year anniversary in June last night.  We are not sure exactly what we want to do.  Maybe a short road trip.  I would love to re-new our vows--He's not into that.  What do you ladies think?

    How was your Valentines day?   Amazing.  We did not have any plans and knew that all restraints were going to be a mad house, so we decided to go to Village inn for our dinner.  We love breakfast for dinner!  It was even better that there was not a wait :)  

    Once we were home we rented a movie and spent some good quality time with one another!  It was amazing!

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!  I have two lovely furbabies and a reptile baby.  Sammy-our kitty, is a manx (no tail) was adopted in December.  Frankie, our Cavilier King Charles Spaniel, was adopted in January.  My furbabies love each other.  I love that they love each other. 

    Our Female turtle named George was brought home by Dh after my second failed IUI.  The funny thing is she has a cute personality.  Who knew turtles had personalities.  She is so curious it's adorable!!!

    George the turtle is amazing!! Love this!! I knew about your kitty and puppy of course, but George is news to me!! The pic of him sunbathing with his legs kicked out is too cute!! 

    I didn't see your photos the first time around since they are blocked at my work. But now that I'm home, ahhh! I love George too!

    I had an u/s today and the heartbeat was 151 and measuring 7 weeks 1 day, I am 7 weeks 5 days. The MFM said the sac is misshapen but didn't say much else besides that it should be rounder. She also said my uterus has a heart shape to it and sits off to the left and was wondering if the heart shape is a septum and I said how could that be possible when I have had an MRI, HSG and sonohistapilogram? So she is going to consult with the radiologist at the hospital where I have all my tests done and see what they say and I am going to get her a copy of my MRI for Monday's appt. Dr. Google has not been helpful about the misshapen sac anyone ever heard of this? 

    ++Best part SCH is gone after a heavy bleed sunday++ 

     I also had my first real OB appt ever where they gave me the packet of stuff I am not supposed to eat etc and took 9 tubes of blood.

     

    No furbabies and we did nothing for Vday because we were lazy and flat broke from all the immune treatment and testing. 

    So things are progressing, I am having IVIG again this weekend. I am going to Intro on Pregnant after IF but will be hanging around because I love you all and you have been a rock. I can't wait for you to join me.

    My new job is going really well!!! The owner of the company said he's hearing good things about me and is really glad I'm there!!!  Today was interesting....I still dont have a desk so I sat at one desk that the PT girl uses but she was off today. Its decorated with pics of her 19month old son. Then, one manager I havent met yet is apparently in labor, so the whole office was buzzing shouting updates back and forth. UGH!!! I need a beer!!! LOL

    Here is a pic of my furbaby. She's an 8.5 year old Cocker Spaniel named Chesney after Kenny Chesney :)   She has a little pink "friend" that she adores....if you say "Go get your friend" she will scour the house and bring it to you. She also has to show her friend off to people who come over , haha

    Hello ladies....

    Rachel....  I hear you you about ignorant coworkers.  I find myself biting my tongue constantly.  I say good for you for speaking up....but don't do it too much that it will jeopardize  your position!

    My first u/s was scheduled for Monday 2/25...but my severe anxiety got the best of me.  I moved it up to tomorrow.  I am terrified there won't be anything going on in there.  

    We have 3 furbabies.  2 cockapoo's and a calico Kitty.  Morgan & Freeman are 5 years old and Cross is 8.  Love them all to pieces!  They have been such a comfort to me during these trying years of IF treatments.

    How funny.....is Morgan Freeman and Cross a reference to James Patterson novels or am I reading too much into that?!? :)

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).

    I started BCPs today!  I still think it's kinds funny that I need them to get pregnant.  I have my saline sono on friday, and am not as nervous anymore-thankfully.  I'm hoping I'll get some results from those labs I had drawn last week.  Aside from that, I had a mini meltdown last night because my brother & sister in law sprung a suprise BFP on me.  I'm better now, and the pity party is slowly dying down.   

    How was your Valentines day? 

    I got sick a couple days before, so I was not feeling good.  DH gave me the option to stay home, but I sucked it up & we went out for dinner.  It was a nice time. 

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!

    I have 2 furbabies, and 2 not so fur babies.  our furbabies are Dunkin & Murray-orange tabbies about a year old.  They are totally momma's boys.  I love them like they were my children.  We also have 2 bearded dragons Ellie & Carl.  They're kinda more DH's pets, as he had one for 15+years growing up, but they're pretty cool.

    Hi Rachel,

    I am now 9dpiui (there's a story..) and feeling kinda queasy. Potential symptoms making me super neurotic.  Else, i won't complain, as it wouldn't help anyway.  I have been super mellow about work, and that's been really good.

    Valentine's Day was fine; I cooked an elaborate dinner, and then fell asleep Indifferent.

     QOTW.  No furbaby anymore; ironically enough was reminiscing earlier today.

    Us: 39(me)/41(he). TTC since April '11. DOR/MFI. March '12: surgery to remove fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis.
    IVF #1: 9/13/12. ER: 9/25. 3R, 2M, 1F. ET: 9/28 (1-6B). Beta: moved from 10/11 to 10/10: BFN.
    IVF #2: 11/12 cycle postponed due to Sandy and then cancelled due to elevated E2.
    IVF #2.1 cancelled due to cyst.
    IVF #2.2: 2/2/13. Converted to IUI. BFN
    IVF #3.0: 3/2014. BCP & Microdose Lupron.  Cycle cancelled due to poor response.
    IVF #4.0: 2/2015. EPP @ new RE. ER: 3/8. 3R, 3M, 1F. ET: 3/11 (1-8cell). 3/23 Beta: 16.9. 3/25 Beta: 71.6. 3/27 Beta: 300. 3/29 Beta: 800 3/31 Beta: 1816. 4/1 Beta: 4342. m/c at 6w2d. Goodbye little one. I loved you already.

    I'm glad you had a good U/S! That's so strange about the septum thing and that it wasn't found yet before, if it's really a thing that's there.

    Heartbeat looks great and measuring a bit behind is usually not an issue especially with a good heartbeat!

    I hope things keep going well. It seems like there's always something to worry about and I understand how that feels. 

    Big hugs as you cross over to PAIF! I'm excited for you!

    Hello Lovely Ladies,

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).  I'm doing well.  Nothing knew here.  Pretty boring.  DH and I were talking about our ten year anniversary in June last night.  We are not sure exactly what we want to do.  Maybe a short road trip.  I would love to re-new our vows--He's not into that.  What do you ladies think?

    How was your Valentines day?   Amazing.  We did not have any plans and knew that all restraints were going to be a mad house, so we decided to go to Village inn for our dinner.  We love breakfast for dinner!  It was even better that there was not a wait :)  

    Once we were home we rented a movie and spent some good quality time with one another!  It was amazing!

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!  I have two lovely furbabies and a reptile baby.  Sammy-our kitty, is a manx (no tail) was adopted in December.  Frankie, our Cavilier King Charles Spaniel, was adopted in January.  My furbabies love each other.  I love that they love each other. 

    Our Female turtle named George was brought home by Dh after my second failed IUI.  The funny thing is she has a cute personality.  Who knew turtles had personalities.  She is so curious it's adorable!!!

    I had my hysteroscopy on Monday and all was clear in the ute.  I am starting estrogen on Friday and stims start next Thursday.   I actually feel a bit sick about doing this all over again and not at all excited. 

    We had a nice valentines day - DH bought me cupcakes from the woman who made our wedding cake - she is closing down so it would be the last time we could get cupcakes from her.

    We had a 5 year old Cockapoo and coming from someone who has never had a dog in her life before this one - he has brought me more joy than I ever expected.  I can not even imagine my life without him.  We used to have a goldfish and a snake but they both died this past year.

    Congrats on being all clear!

    Isnt it amazing how much we can love our furbabies?

    I had an u/s today and the heartbeat was 151 and measuring 7 weeks 1 day, I am 7 weeks 5 days. The MFM said the sac is misshapen but didn't say much else besides that it should be rounder. She also said my uterus has a heart shape to it and sits off to the left and was wondering if the heart shape is a septum and I said how could that be possible when I have had an MRI, HSG and sonohistapilogram? So she is going to consult with the radiologist at the hospital where I have all my tests done and see what they say and I am going to get her a copy of my MRI for Monday's appt. Dr. Google has not been helpful about the misshapen sac anyone ever heard of this? 

    ++Best part SCH is gone after a heavy bleed sunday++ 

     I also had my first real OB appt ever where they gave me the packet of stuff I am not supposed to eat etc and took 9 tubes of blood.

     

    No furbabies and we did nothing for Vday because we were lazy and flat broke from all the immune treatment and testing. 

    So things are progressing, I am having IVIG again this weekend. I am going to Intro on Pregnant after IF but will be hanging around because I love you all and you have been a rock. I can't wait for you to join me. 

    Nice strong Heartbeat!!! and so glad your SCH is gone!

    Hello Lovely Ladies,

    How are we all doing? What is going on with you (cycle or non-cycle related).

    How was your Valentines day? 

    Q.O.T.W. - Do you have any furbabies? Tell us about them!

    Rachel

    My new job is going really well!!! The owner of the company said he's hearing good things about me and is really glad I'm there!!!  Today was interesting....I still dont have a desk so I sat at one desk that the PT girl uses but she was off today. Its decorated with pics of her 19month old son. Then, one manager I havent met yet is apparently in labor, so the whole office was buzzing shouting updates back and forth. UGH!!! I need a beer!!! LOL

    Here is a pic of my furbaby. She's an 8.5 year old Cocker Spaniel named Chesney after Kenny Chesney :)   She has a little pink "friend" that she adores....if you say "Go get your friend" she will scour the house and bring it to you. She also has to show her friend off to people who come over , haha

    Aww Chesney is so adorable.
