***2IF weekly Checkin****

Current cycle status : ~ 4 weeks post D&C and benched 2 cycles.

QOTW: In spirit of valentine's day, describe one sweet / romantic thing your DH has done (can be anything at anytime) well,'other than proposing ;)

Well, we were just dating at the time and I had my wisdom teeth removed. All the drugs were making me sick as dog and I was hurling every few minutes in a trashcan by the bed. And my DH laid in bed with me the entire time and never left :) it's not exactly flowers and chocolate but, yeah.

Re: ***2IF weekly Checkin****

  • Plan is to start stims next Friday for our first, and hopefully only, IVF. Protocol is 150iu gonal-f, 75 menopur, and Ganirelix. QOTW: MH gets up and is out the door by 5:30am everyday, and he'll sometimes leave me cute little notes on my iPhone to find when I wake up hours later. Nothing extravagant, but it always makes my day :x

    Two DDs 10/08 and 08/10, no primary IF

  • CD24, maybe o'ed yesterday, but more likely my temp jumped because of this stupid head cold (that DS also has - poor baby).  

    Romantic thing:  My husband is very good at taking care of me and making me feel special, but last weekend takes the cake.  He planned a surprise date on Saturday morning where he arranged a sitter and took me to get a couples massage!  This is a huge deal because he does not like being touch by strangers - or even his own mother!  So for him to do something with me instead of just send me off to do it alone was a great gesture.  He's planning another surpass Valentine's day date for me, too next weekend.  Dinner somewhere and he told me to get dressed up like we're going to prom, lol.  I wonder if he would be annoyed if I actually wore an old prom dress?  
    Happily Mrs. C

  • CD3 just took my first dose of femera this cycle and will be doing vaginal progesterone after ovulation.
    My romantic thing is that my DH tucks me into bed every night. When we were dating he would tuck me in and lock the door behind him when he left or I would talk to him on the phone until I fell asleep. Then he would send me cute text messages so I would see them every morning when I got up.

  • Well, last Friday we signed our contract and cleared finance! So we are set to start stuff on cd1 which should be in two weeks (I guess this means our last natural tww for awhile- hahahaha like that ever worked for us!!!).
    Romantic thing: last birthday he took us to the winery we got married at then surprised me at my favorite restaurant where my best friends were waiting to join us. Then we went to Howl-o-scream at Busch Gardens. He tried so hard to make it all a surprise but I always figure it out- but I kept my mouth shut and he was really happy and I enjoyed it all :) i did however mention, when I figured it out how much I was looking forward to spending my birthday weekend w him and our daughter bc he was planning on having his parents watch her the whole weekend- yeah right!!! I wanted my baby w me lol!!! And I know you didn't ask but, but for v-day I thought I'd be cute and have Shari's Berries delivered to him at work w the cheesecake trio to share with all his coworkers. Now it is supposed to snow and be stupid and he is going to stay home bc of 8 inches of snow and it is too late to cancel. Poop. Ugh.

  • Current cycle status: CD 4 of a natural cycle

    QOTW: Romance? What's that? Just kidding. Well, I guess I have to say that he is the best at surprising me with gifts. He tries every year to get me something that I am not expecting to throw me off of his trail. And it is never for one specific holiday. Sometimes it is Christmas, sometimes mother's day. He is pretty good at getting me the thing that I have been eying when I least expect it.

  • I'm about 1dpo and not feeling at all optimistic about this cycle. It's the first after the cp so I know odds are low. But first on Clomid and progesterone so who knows.

    I can't think of romance at the moment but my Dh freaking rocks. I seriously lucked out.

  • I've just moved on to Cycle #21. We are waiting on a urology date for DH and still trying unmedicated. We are also still pursuing adoption. We start classes in a couple weeks. 

    My hubby takes me on surprise dates sometimes and I love it!

    QOTW:  When DH and I first met at work he would hide candy bars as a surprise on my desk.  I would do the same for him too.  Some days even now he still does that, I will open my laptop and there will be a candy bar or he will put one of my shelf.  He also sometimes leaves sticky notes with cute quotes or messages on my side of the bathroom mirror for me to see first thing in the morning :)

  • As of yesterday this cycle has been officially determined a not trying/not preventing cycle. Haven't done that for awhile!

    QOTW: DH and I don't really do much for the smaller holidays, but whenever he sees them, DH gets me chocolate covered strawberries because he knows I love them. And he reserves judgment as I inhale them shamelessly.
