Wednesday Roll Call

PrettyAccountant · May 2013

Hello Lovely ladies,

I hope you all survived Mothers day (even with a certain airline being totally DB about proving you can have a free drink!). Lets hear whats going on in your life. Looking forward to anything good for the summer? Pick a topic and vent away (even if you want to recap Mother's day)

Hugs to everyone!

Update & Vent (PAIF included)

Well, I have to admit that I thought this Mother's day would be better - but it really sucked. DH and I went to the graves of our mothers and the triplets and we planted flowers but I was still so depressed that I ended up crying most of the day. To top it off, I finally told my sister to go eff herself and that today (Mother's day) was going to have to be about what I needed. The whole day I didn't feel the baby move (which was just freaking me out even more) so I took matters into my own hands and headed straight to a starbucks and ordered a Venti Caramel Frappachino - Fully loaded with Sugar and Caffeine (yes - to heck with the diabetes and screw the no caffeine, I didn't care and I went for overload). It worked - baby girl started stirring and I didn't even feel guilty about it. Oh well, I am human and IF and losses screws with you so much that sometimes you just have to give in. We also got my dog's ashes back - they called on Mother's day and the chirppy chick starts off with "Happy Mother's Day! we got Lucy's ashes back - want to come here today to pick her up?!?. Oh, I wanted to slap her!

PA- Sorry you had a crappy mother's day! ((hugs))

I've been on a rollercoaster lately. Dr. KK found a bunch of issues to fix and things have been going great with that. I am so happy that I'm with her too. I went in for cd3 labs monday and a reconsult with my RE because the cd3 labs we drew last cycle were really wonky (FSH jumped to like 20, when the previous one had been 10). He told me that unless the labwork we drew Monday came down, we should consider donor eggs. Not what I was expecting to hear with my 29th bday looming at the end of the month.

I didn't hear from them till Tues when I called to ask about the labwork, but in the meantime, i spent the day in a panic about what to do next. I know I'm not out of the woods, and I am flirting with DOR. So, for now I'm back on BCP to schedule for the July IVF week. I can take my protocol to dr KK a week from friday and get that all figured out.

Hi ladies!

PA: I am so incredibly sorry to hear about your awful mother's day. I'm proud of you for telling your sister off. You definitely have your priorities in line and anyone else who doesn't think so can certainly go eff themselves. Giant hugs for everything you've gone through. I am so sorry about the loss of your special dog. I'm glad the coffee woke up your little girl and got her dancing.

Megs: Yikes, a rollercoaster indeed. I'm sorry you are uncovering issues right around the time of your birthday. IF is such a total cluster eff. I hate it!

My update: We have been racing like crazy to get all of the logistics taken care of to adopt our five new embryos prior to the birth of our donor's baby. We got the contract done, but one major hold up has been us waiting for my RE to hear back from the sister clinic's attorneys in NY to make sure that our contract is enough for my clinic receive these embryos. Stupid red tape. Well, they have taken so long that our donor finally did have her baby on Sunday. The donor called me a few hours later and told me that she thought of me just minutes after the birth. She said she KNEW that giving us these embryos was the right thing to do. I was touched that she thought of me at such a special moment! She texted me pics of her baby girl she is absolutely breathtaking. She will be a 100% genetic sibling of our future kids (I hope!) I hope to hear back from the REs attorneys in the next few days so we can get these embryos shipped in the next couple of weeks. I just can't wait to bring them "home" to Texas.

I also got the results back from my giant 24 vial blood draw. Some of the results were abnormal, and my RE hasn't talked to me about them yet. I made an appointment to have a phone consult with her on Friday. I'm a little nervous, but hoping she won't be too worried about them. We drew them right after my miscarriage so I'm wondering if that skewed the results. I've read that some of the results can be skewed by pregnancy and even IM injections.

I hope everyone has a good week and I'm sending hugs to all the ladies who need them.

hootie123 · May 2013

My transfer is scheduled for Monday the 20th. I start PIO and Endometrin tomorrow (can't wait! ::sarcasm::). I go back and forth in my mind between having hope and having no hope whatsoever. It's really really hard to believe that I can actually get pregnant after all that we've done. Logically I know there are so many things different this time that it could actually work. But I am so scared to let myself get even an ounce of hope for more than a few seconds before I think 'no way'. Maybe I'll feel different after the transfer. =/

BeeBee08 · May 2013

PA - sorry about Mother's Day. I wish you could have enjoyed this one for what it is.

Megs - I hate that birthdays make it look like that proverbial clock starts ticking faster. Hang in there.

Liz - Good Luck with your results and brining those embies home!!

Hootie - My birthday is May 20th...I'll be thinking of you when I blow out those candles. FX for you!!

As for me, no real update. You've seen it. ((Hugs)) Everyone!

I feel exactly the same way. In my case I'd change the words "get pregnant" to "stay pregnant" but otherwise, I could have written this myself.

I keep telling myself "things were different this time" and that's completely true, I just don't know if the outcome will follow suit.

I'm hoping for you Hootie!

rockpaperlove · May 2013

Victory hugs to go around for all. We made it through Mother's Day! I have been feeling really good on my endo treatment so I have been soaking up every physical opportunity! I completed my first women's only triathlon on Mother's Day! It was a really special morning spent in the presence of all sorts of women and I had the greatest sense of accomplishment and appreciation for my body as I crossed that finish line! Woohoo!

lincoln79 · May 2013

(((hugs))) to all that are struggling.

we had a very rough weekend. our EDD for m/c #1 is today and my family wanted us to attend an all-weekend celebration for my mom's birthday and mother's day.

we decided we couldn't handle that, so we stayed home. now my sister is not speaking to me (so i feel you prettyaccountant, way to stand up for our own needs for once).

i am burying myself in work, trying to keep my mind busy.

DoublePortion · May 2013

I haven't heard back from my clinic about any available embryos yet.

Last week I left a message at a clinic in Nevada that has waiting embryos and they called back yesterday. Now I'm waiting on an email from them detailing all the possible costs. Of course their website shows the base cost, which looks like an amazing price, but doesn't include all the little nuts and bolts. Ugh, I am just so ready to get this show on the road!!!

I'm sorry your sister didn't understand.... ((HUGS))....hope this week is going ok for you so far

kflynn81 · May 2013

I've had quite the couple days/week....backtrack to Mothers Day weekend, I had a wedding I stood up in on Saturday. I was very proud of myself I held my friend (the bride) 's baby most the night and didn't burst into tears like I did the last time I held a baby!! Go me!!! However, MH then said it made him really sad to see me so happy dancing around with the little baby. Cue the wine.....and cue mean drunk Kate. I got really mean and said a lot of awful things to him. I'm a bad drunk, which is why I usually don't drink more than one or two. Stupid bridal party bus, lol

Anywho....today I had that test I mentioned about a month ago. They hooked me up to an IV and for 4 hours they took blood from the port. 12 vials total in the 4 hours I was there. They pushed something called Arganine into the IV which made me reaaaaaally hot and sweaty. It was pretty uncomfortable. So now we wait a few weeks for the results. If they come back as "Yes you have this disorder" then I go on daily injections of hormone replacement but if its "No, you don't have it" then who knows what. We'd probably be looking at donor eggs at that point. Needless to say, I'm very indifferent about this whole process at this point.

HMPH.

On the plus side, we picked up some Summer Shandy today

PurpleIris30 · May 2013

Hi ladies!

PA -- so sorry you had a tough mother's day

megs - hope you get all of your lab work and future plans straightened out with all of your doctors

liz - hope your legal paperwork can be finished ASAP and you get good news from your RE about your test results

hootie -- tons of good luck for your transfer!!

RPL - congrats on completing the triathlon - that's a great accomplishment!

lincoln - I'm so sorry about your sister and that you didn't get the support you need from your family right now

DP - hope you have good news soon!

kflynn - good luck on your test results

AFM - I had my first MFM appointment yesterday, and it went really well. Although I know we have so many hurdles left to cross, I felt an immense sense of relief for the first time, and I'm allowing myself a little bit of hope that this might all work out. I hope I don't regret saying that, but it's nice to feel something besides anxiety and worry.

luvboston · May 2013

PA - sorry about Mother's Day. I wish you peace for the coming year!

Megs - (Hugs)Hang in there.

Liz - Good Luck brining those embies home!!

Hootie - FX for you!!

PAIF Update: We got the best news ever that baby girl is 100% chromosomally normal nothing else really matters. I am going to sit back and enjoy this week until I see the MFM monday. And a big AW Friday is 20 weeks and I never dreamed this day would come, I have so many people to thank but most of all, you ladies have been a huge support and I could have never done this without you.

BrideJackie11 · May 2013

Late check-in ladies. I haven't read the whole thread yet but will tomorrow. I want to thank you all for the support I got on the flight. I am mailing my letter as soon as the postal service picks it up. Thanks Liz4paws for the address to the CEO! It is going to Gary C. Kelly My mother is also writing one. My husband already did the night it happened and he is A-list with a SWA credit and we have companion pass so hopefully they will get all of ours and you all's complaints/concerns. You ladies are the best!! I don't know what I would do without you all!

Update: not much. AF better come tonight or tomorrow because I am set to start the estrogen injects and vag inserts on Friday. Any June Blooms?

BrideJackie11 · May 2013

Think I got myself caught up. Thanks again for your support on Mother's day with my flight from hell.

PA, glad you felt LO waking up and I am so sorry about your mother's day too. I am also shocked an office would call to tell you to pick up your pet's ashes on mother's day. That's just awful.

Megs:Hope you get better news. My 29th is the end of this month too. May 30th. How about you? Happy birthday to us!

Liz, thanks for the address Also, your story is so touching about your donor's birth. Hope you get some answers from the lab work.

Hootie: GL with your transfer!!! FX for you!

BeeBee: Happy Birthday!!! I hope that you get to celebrate with family and are not alone.

DP: Hope you hear back soon from your clinic so you can get started again.

KFlynn: Great job on the baby holding! Hope that soon you finally get answers, pituitary wonder!

PurpleIris: Glad your appointment went well and you are in good spirits!

Scoop77 · May 2013

Hi, ladies, and hugs to all. High-fives to anyone who wants or needs one and big ups to the rest.

I'm still plugging along in the neverending cycle, still on estrogen, still waiting for that lining to plump up. If only I could just eat a lot of Oreos and fatten it right up...

Otherwise, work's been crazy so I try to check in with you all when I can. But I'm always wishing you the best!

Cheers!

megs3084 · May 2013

BrideJackie- WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! OMG YAY!

Wow, I totally left out that my FSH came down to 11.36. Not great, but much better than 20+. I also get my 4 week check up stuff for Dr. KK drawn saturday.
