Re: ***Weekly IVF Check-In***
Temping since Nov 2012, off BC since July 2011
SA: Beyond Awesome
CD3 BW (AMH:2.7, estrogen high:106) , low progesterone 7DPO
OB diagnosed "weak ovulation"
IUI #1 Jan 2014- 5mg letrozole, m/c 6w3d, betas slow to decrease
IUI #2 Mar 2014- 5mg letrozole BFN
IVF#1 Apr/May 2014 16R/12M/8F. Transferred 2 blasts, 3 on ice
AFM- egg retrieval was scheduled for Thursday, but it's being pushed back until Monday. I had 47 follies (~20-25 sizeable ones) on Sunday and e2 was at 367, but the cetrotide made it drop to 169 today and my follies barely grew. I'm a little worried, but they're upping my gonal f, so hopefully things level out.
QOTW- house of cards and Disney movies. I'm a kid at heart and love watching animated movies
ALL WELCOME!
TTC since 04/12
Me- 26 PCOS
DH- 28 MFI
10/13 IUI #1 (1 follie)- BFP!

07/14 IVF/ICSI #1.2 6R, 6M, 5F, 2T, 2 frosties!
Transferred 2-5dt CP
09/14 FET #1 BFP! Beta #1 52 Beta #2 152!
10/20/14- It's TWINS!
1/15- TEAM PURPLE!
For now only the 2nd time in my life I have +betas!!! Luckily these are so much higher than my m/c in January though! On Saturday at 10dp5dt, beta was 387. Monday at 12dp5dt they were 797, so doubling time at 46 hours! I go back Thursday for another draw, and also b/c my tsh has shot up. Pre BFP it was like .8, now it's 2.59. I read that they like them below 2.5, so while I'm just barely high, I have to start synthroid tomorrow.
I read here once that the TWW is of course awful, but those few hours to make sure your levels are rising appropriately are just the worst. I guess you never stop worrying in this whole process! If it's ok, I might check in next week too with my beta update, as I'm definitely not moving boards yet!
QOTW: I just watched the first episode of the new season of 24 last night. I want to start Scandal too.

@Pintobean39 so happy your cyst is gone!! Your statement about shit getting real is exactly what I said when I walked into the OR for my retrieval!!
