  I agree with Lacy. I think an acute case of "food poisoning" may be in your future. I would never cancel something as important as a cycle because of other people's expectations I show up to an event. They will understand, people get sick! Good luck...it's never an easy position to be in!

  Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely not postpone my cycle. But, I'm not willing to cancel everyone else's fun either. Everyone spent hundreds of dollars on plane tickets, football tickets, etc. I just will need an excuse for me not to show up. I'm sure DH can be home.. He'll only need to to out in CO for a total of 12 hours for his 'donation' then he can be gone. What in the world will be my excuse for not coming to my own party?

  Me: 37, DH: 38: ttc 7 years, dx: unknown

  IVF #2(12/12)AFC 21, MD lupron, 4R/4M/3F, 5dt of 1 blast and 2-8cell. BFN.
  IVF#3(4/13) Natural start antagon protocol, 12R,11F. one PGS normal at day 6 transfer. BFN.
  IVF#4 (11/13) C.CRM (ODW.U normal 8/13 Still no Diagnosis) EPP/antagonist. ER 13R/7M/6F. Only 1 made it to freeze. Abnormal. Looking into options of DE, Fresh vs frozen.
  10/14 new local RE to look into what's next. CD3 FSH 4.7, AMH 0.9. Met with DE agencies and exploring options for feb/march 2015.
  Surprise natural bfp (4 days before donor is signed). Beta #1 at 9dpo: 51.8, 2nd beta: 195 (25 hours doubling) @11dpo. 3rd beta (12/15): 516 (35 hrs doubling) 4th beta(12/17): 895 (58 hours doubling) 5th beta(12/19): 2120. U/S at 5w0d(12/22): one gestational sac with yolk sac. U/S #2 (6w0d)12/29. One little bean measuring 6w0d with HR 124. 3rd u/s(1/4)7w0d: baby measuring 7w2d. HR 134. 3/30: A/S at MFM went great except for low lying placenta. Verifi results are normal! Team Blue! Please send any positive thoughts our way! EDD:8/24/2015

  You can always invent the funeral of a dear friend's mom in Colorado. You really couldn't miss it -- after all, your friend has been there for you through thick and thin. You are sure they will all understand how important these things are. ;-)

  Oh man, why is it always like this?! It is so hard to have to lie and be secretive when going through all of this, but just keep reminding yourself that it is for a good cause. That's how I justify it. Do whatever you need to do and say whatever you need to say to NOT cancel this cycle! I'm sorry you might have to miss the big weekend, but hopefully it will all be worth it!

  Oh man J&D: On Thanksgiving makes this a bit more difficult. Would you be comfortable opening your doors to everyone and you and your DH not being there? I would do that and tell them that you have business, a wake or something along those lines and have to be in CO. Or would you be comfortable telling one of your relatives what's going on and letting them be the buffer?

  Unmedicated and medicated IUI's: all fail
  IVF #1: Dec 2012 16m/15f 12/9: 5dt of 2 beautiful blasts and 5 frosties
  TWINS!
