So I'm waiting to stop BCP which my last one is on June 3rd thank god and then I go in as soon as AF starts. I hope May zooms by I can't wait to get started!

QOTD: I do professional BBQ competitions and we have one this weekend with $15K up for grabs I'm hoping we can come home with a piece of that pie!

hopefulsprout · May 2014

@dreambig1021 What an awesome weekend plan--good luck! Thanks for being a check-in leader, BTW.

I start Estrace on Monday and am now down to 10 units of Lupron per day. FET is on 6/5. Excited!

QOTD: I'm heading to a ritzy neighborhood for garage sales all day, then off to BIL college graduation open house in the p.m. Sunday is for relaxing!

ChristieH917 · May 2014

I am still waiting for AF to show up to start my BCP. Sunday is my last day of progesterone. Initially I was told 2 weeks of BCP the start my stims. I have a consult on May 21st and hoping that my protocol doesn't change.

I have nothing special planned for the weekend. My DH is working Saturday and I hoping to get a good spring cleaning done while he is at work. Fun times!

katib77 · May 2014

I went in today for b/w to make sure I can stop suppression estrace and prometrim on Monday. Baseline is next Fri to start stims next Saturday for IVF#2! Today I'm waiting on my drug order to arrive.

This weekend we're looking at houses on Sat and Sunday I am doing a 5k for Pre Eclampsia then watching the Blackhawks hockey game.

scooteriste · May 2014

Hi June Bugs and thanks for being a check in leader dreambig!

I've got 5 more BCPs to go and then we'll get started once day 1 arrives. Still can't believe this is my 3rd IVF cycle within 6 months....

QOTD: this has been a busy week so after dinner with a friend tonight I plan to kick back, do some volunteer work and just relax this weekend. Maybe take the dog for a walk to get some exercise.

Carol77B · May 2014

Hi ladies!

I'm still waiting for my LH surge (day 16) so will go back for another blood test at 6:45 a.m. on Monday (which is ridiculously early, but I need to be at an awards ceremony by 8:15) after we finally measure it, I'll start the Vivelle estrogen patches and move forward with the stimming.

QOTD: Nothing super fun planned for the weekend, but happy to have some downtime, since it's been a very busy week at work.

airidh80 · May 2014

Hi everyone!

I started Lupron this past Monday, for my FET. I'm definitely already over the headaches and hot flashes! The next step is waiting for AF to show, and then I'll start estrogen replacement therapy on CD 3. My transfer is tentatively scheduled for June 9th.

QOTD: There's a chance I might have to work tomorrow (I'm a TV editor, and our schedules tend to be heavy), but if I don't, I'll be seeing Godzilla with DH and a big group of friends. I'm actually home from work today, because I've got a nasty case of vertigo due to fluid behind my eardrum. So I'm definitely hoping that clears up soon!

BeckyP005 · May 2014

@dreambig1021‌ GL!! That's so cool! @katib77‌ have fun house shopping!! I liked it in the beginning then it got frustrating

@airidh80 I'm happy to see I'm not the only one wanting to see Godzilla...lol.

My DE FET is June 4th. We are going to try a high dose of estrogen and start off with 2cc's of PIO this cycle. Also assisted hatching. Its not done a lot on DE's so I'm nervous.

QOTW: The dentist..yay me. Going to meet MH for dinner/drinks tonight after work then probably clean house Sat. Oh and get my cat. My parents take him every other month for about 2 weeks. Crazy I know

shelbeans82 · May 2014

Hi Ladies!

I am starting lupron on the 20th and planning transfer on June 18th (almost a month to go!) I am still waiting for some bloodwork to come back from RE (RPL testing) and had it done a week and a half ago and no word, called yesterday and nothing. Anyone know how long that takes to come back?

QOTD: I am working, boo.

ikrystal · May 2014

Thanks for posting the check in! I think I get my timeline on Monday, but meds start early next week and I'm looking at a transfer between June 16th - 19th. I've been told that since I only plan on transferring one snowbaby, I'm looking at only a 25% chance of a BFP (bummer). But I am still anxious to get the ball rolling.

QOTD: We're planning on doing some much-needed landscaping to the front lawn tomorrow and then relaxing all day Sunday watching some hockey. Not too interesting, but still looking forward to it.

dreambig1021 · May 2014

airidh80- let me know how Godzilla is if you go watch it, I am not a movie theater person unless it's got some great special effects. The last movie I saw in the theaters was Inglorious Bastards but that's just because DH loves movies about that time period.

@shelbeans82-Working?? BOO!! @BeckyP005- I have a dentist appointment in a couple of weeks UGH! Deep cleaning

Makes me sad thinking about it

pblge · May 2014

Hi June Bugs! Hope this is the magical cycle for everyone!

As it happens the day of the first check-in turned out to be my first BCP! I'm only on them for 10 days, so stims are starting much sooner than anticipated. The clinic is about 6.5 hours away, so this actually threw a bit of a wrench in our plans, but I'm glad it will get started quickly! My baseline scan and blood tests were good, so I'm all set to go.

Fun to read about everyone's weekend plans! This is my school's graduation weekend, so I have tons of grading and commencement to do. We're also putting a lot of plants in the ground and going for a hike with a friend and our dogs. Should be fun, aside from the work!

Soooo excited this is finally happening!

Will do! I'll update in the next check-in thread. I have to admit, I'm a little hesitant, because I still remember what a sh!t-sh*w the last Godzilla remake was

But I have a soft spot in my heart for summer movies.

*edited because I'm seeing posts about swearing being against the TOS now. I don't know how I'm going to deal with IF if I can't swear!

sweetpotato123 · May 2014

Hi lovelies! Sorry I'm late. Did my first shot of Lupron last night, so I'm anxiously awaiting the side effects.

We're at the beach this weekend with friends and really enjoying this time to relax before the fun of stims next week.

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

O2girl · May 2014

@dreambig1021‌
Thanks for running the check-in.

***loss mentioned***

AFM: I see my RE on Monday to discuss new course of action. Found out both my twins that I lost were normal so now we might have to do some testing to make sure I can carry a pregnancy. So I guess we will find out from my RE whether or not I'm going to be benched again

In the meantime I am starting an estrogen blocking diet to help reduce my estrogen so my adeno can be tempered some. I still hope that I can be part of the June Bugs.....but I'm not holding my breath about it.

pjpahel · May 2014

Hello ladies! I'm late....such is my life

Warning: Pet loss mentioned.

Anyway, I am taking OCP's still. I will stop them around the 26th, and start Lupron then. This is my 4th IVF cycle, with a canceled FET in between.

This weekend...Ugh...I am working all weekend. I work 1/4 weekends a month. And..we had to put my 14 year old german shepard to sleep yesterday. So so sad. She was our baby long before we started trying for babies, and has been there for us for many years. We miss her terribly.

Sorry to bring everyone down I'm really sad about it.

BeckyP005 · May 2014

@pjpahel‌ so sorry to hear about your sweet dog. Big huge hugs....

shelbeans82 · May 2014

Big ((hugs)) @pjpahel

pblge · May 2014

@pjpahel - I'm so sorry about your pup. What a sad thing to go through in the midst of all this I/F stuff. (((hugs)))

O2girl · May 2014

@pjpahel‌

So very sorry for the loss of your furbaby. I've been down that road and it hurts so bad. ((((Hugs))))

Carol77B · May 2014

@pjpahel I'm so sorry about your dog. I know how hard that loss is.

scooteriste · May 2014

@pjpahel‌ I'm very sorry about the loss of your dog.

sweetpotato123 · May 2014

@pjpahel‌ - I am so sorry about the loss of your fur baby. Thinking of you.

runawaylaurel · May 2014

@pjpahel- so sad for dog. I know that is so hard.

I'm starting stims tomorrow (Monday)- Menopur and Follistim. I don't go in for b/w until Friday, so hopefully my starting doses are good.

Have a good week, everyone!

airidh80 · May 2014

@pjpahel - I'm so sorry about your dog

ExoticAntibiotic · May 2014

Hi June Bugs! I start BCPs today, still waiting on my calendar to see how long that will be. Post-FET periods are hellish beasts.

@O2girl‌, I hope you somehow hear something positive from your RE today! You deserve an easier time.
@pjpahel‌, oh no

((hugs))

hopefulsprout · May 2014

@pjpahel‌ I'm so sorry. Pet loss is incredibly difficult. Sending hugs your way.

hlcrews · May 2014

We're scheduled for June 2 for our first (and probably only since we only have 2 embryos) FET from IVF#1.

Lillovebug79 · May 2014

I am waiting on AF to start so that I can start my BCP. I'm hoping to start by the end of the week. I'm so excited and nervous and terrified all at once.

gnl42 · May 2014

Hi ladies. I would like to move on over from the May Blossoms. I had ER this past Friday, but officially found out today that we are doing a freeze all with plan for FET in June. I won't go into the details, but long story short is that my RE was too concerned for late onset OHSS to do the fresh transfer. Also - my lining was not *ideal*. It was hanging around 7.5 (which is better than last time), but she would like it to be thicker. I hope we can get it there next month.

The good news is we have 16 good looking embryos today (day 3). I'm hoping that they continue on this path for the next 2 days and that I can somehow find the patience within to not go crazy for the next few weeks. I'm already starting Lupron tonight and will just be waiting for AF to get started... no bcps thankfully.

I'm catching up on everyone's posts and want to say that I'm so, so sorry @pjphael . I can only imagine what you are going through. For many of us, our pets are like our children. We really need to find a way to allow them to live longer.

ttc23 · May 2014

Hi ladies. Sorry I'm late to the party. I'm on cycle day 2 and start stimming tonight. I had my first lot of dexamethasone (1.5mg) this morning and will be doing a low dose of Puregon tonight in addition to starting my clexane. Still having headaches organising local scans, bloods and intralipid infusions so I don't have to travel so far but hopefully I'll get around it.

QOTD: Well I'm posting after the weekend but we did go to an IVF support group over the weekend which was really nice
