  • In honor of Fall (which seems to be a favorite season for many Bumpies, myself included!), here is a pic of our dining room before our Friendsgiving Celebration that we hosted two years ago the weekend before Thanksgiving. We invited about 15 of our closest friends (and a few family like my BIL and SIL -- who honestly are also friends), and we had a potluck dinner and game night and called it Friendsgiving. We didn't do it again last year, and many asked us why and said they missed it.

    Tossing around the idea that should we be lucky enough to have success with this IVF cycle, perhaps we will have a more intimate Friendsgiving gathering this year and share our news with a few friends/family who are close to us...

  • imageThis is the swimming hole we discovered this weekend near where M's mom and sis live. It was wonderful even though I had to go in with my clothes on because we didn't have swimsuits. I want to go back this weekend but 1) we have things to do and 2) it probably won't be warm enough for swimming.
    ****loss discussed*****

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    Our IUIs
    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

    Our IVFs:
    IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

    IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
    BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
    2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
    BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
    1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

    ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

  • Awww! All these pet photos. Need to include one of ours. Her name is! Sidnie, she adopted Little Bear when she was six months old and that was last December (2012). She's a hoot and loves her family. If you're outside, she'll start to paw the window - as to say, I want to come out!
