StacyLH24 · June 2014

Congrats to @jaztaz1‌ and @adadeart‌ on your BFPs! FX for sticky, healthy babies!

Yes, still over here waiting for CD 1. I'm at CD 39 now. I finished 5 days of Provera on Sunday. So, hopefully CD 1 will come this weekend.

QOTW: I love a big glass of wine lately. I like Red Cat or Redneck Red. Redneck Red is from one of the many Finger Lakes wineries. I'm also partial to some of the Barefoot wines...Perfectly Pink being my favorite of those. I like my wine very sweet and cold - but no ice.

jaztastic · June 2014

Hey ladies... first beta is set for Thursday 6/5. Just trying to be patient for now and soak up all the positive vibes from you awesome supportive ladies!

Pintobean39 · June 2014

I just finished day 4 of stimming of which was a total cluster fuck since I gave myself menopur twice. My stomach is starting to bruise so I fake baked it last night. I won't be walking around in a bikini any time soon but at least my stomach will look tan. Stimming hasn't been that bad yet but I am a total bitch around the house. My husband is off work this week it's been raining for the last week so no playing golf for him. Last night after my freak out he stayed in the garage playing with his golf clubs for hours. I think he's scared of me. Otherwise I'm just coasting along I'm sure I'll be stimming for another good week.

QOTW: Wine, I can't stand beer. My favorite now is Malbec and I've been buying Alamos because it's good and only $10 a bottle. My second favorite is Pinot Noir. In the summer I love sitting out by the pool with a pina coloda, margarita, or grey goose and cranberry.

ChristieH917 · June 2014

I am still hanging out on the BCP. Only one week to go and the start stims.

QOTW: I love my red wine. My doc said that I can still drink until I take my last BCP. So that makes me very happy. I don't drink that often, usually just socially, but I will miss it.

jessimi06 · June 2014

Congrats @jaztaz1‌ and @adadeart‌! FX for great betas!

AFM- my cycle was cancelled due to poor response

. Long story short, everything was going fine but then my e2 crashed and they couldn't save it in time. We have our wtf appt next week and will hopefully get a plan together for July.

QOTW- I'm a whiskey/scotch girl and usualy drink jack Daniels or Johnny walker.

KT416 · June 2014

Still the same.... waiting....

QOTD: Twisted Tea currently, probably because it's nicer out and it's starring at me every time I open the fridge! Stoli Raz and Sprite was my go-to bar drink or cider beer, but I really need a new one for going out. hmmm...

Pintobean39 · June 2014

@jessimi06‌ I'm so sorry I was really hoping everything would start cooperating for ER.

adadeart · June 2014

Thanks for all of the love ladies. Can't wait to give it back as we need a lot more BFPs on here!

***********warning***************

Beta #3 was perfect, but my pgal brain just won't stop. I am so worried that it's going to be another m/c. I have an ultrasound Thursday so I'll just have to somehow survive the next 2 days.

Rooting for all of us to get our sticky baby very very soon!!

gsancho · June 2014

Congrats to @jaztaz1‌ and @adadeart‌ ! Day 4 of stims and anxious for my second monitoring appt tomorrow to make sure we are still on track with good numbers.

In the summer, I love beer and the occasional margarita. Since we are doing a freeze all, I've got my eye some nice cool beer to have later this month!

jaytee16 · June 2014

Congrats @jaztaz1‌ and @adadeart‌!

@jessimi06 - I'm so sorry you got cancelled, I was really hoping you'd be able to save the cycle, sending lots of hugs your way.

Good luck ladies and hugs to anyone who needs one!

AFM, I'm officially PUPO! I am 2dp3dt now. Our fert report on Friday after ER wasn't awesome, we only had 7 eggs, only 3 were mature and fertilized. On Sunday, we found out that all 3 of our embryos were beautiful, 8 cell embies, one grade 1, two grade 2's. Best possible news! We transferred the best two and #3 is still at the lab, hopefully growing into a perfect blastocyst, we'll find out tomorrow if it's made it to freeze. No idea if I'll go beta or bust, I tend to flip flop on that a lot throughout the 2ww, so we'll see! Beta is scheduled for June 16 which is so far away - that's 15dp3dt - is that crazy long or just me??

ChristieH917 · June 2014

@jaytee16 That is way too long for me. I'd be POAS long before that. My RE starts betas at 10dp.

runawaylaurel · June 2014

@pintobean39 yes! My ER was on Sunday.

They got 12 eggs, unfortunately only 7 mature. 4 fertilized normally. Today, they were still all hanging in there, so I'm set for a day 5 transfer on Friday! Yippee!

QOTW: Am I the only beer girl on here? Give me a hoppy, flavorful IPA and I'm happy! Current favorite is Green Flash West Coast IPA which I hopefully won't be able to drink for many, many more months.

@ChristieH917 - Not sure how long I will hold out, but there is no way I'll make it that long! I have b/w on Thurs, I'm going to go over those dates with them again, make sure they didn't make a mistake!

Pintobean39 · June 2014

Congrats @jaztaz1‌ and @adadeart‌, I haven't properly congratulated both of you in here. FX for both of you with the upcoming ultrasound and betas.

@gsancho‌ you and I are right there together on this. My second monitoring appt is tomorrow and I'm freezing all because were doing PGD testing. I'm going to leave town as soon as ER is over and I will be drinking lots of alcohol. Then I'm going to spend the rest of the summer with my fat ass (thanks to all this crap) in the pool drinking margaritas and piña coladas.

@jaytee16‌ I have lots of respect for you to do beta or bust. There is no way I could do that. That is a REALLY long time away. Good luck!

adadeart · June 2014

@jaytee16- I was 10dp5dt on beta day. I thought waiting that long was hard! Maybe your RE will move it up?

@Pintobean39- My time after egg retrieval and before transfer was great (if only a few short days). I felt like I could do what I wanted and not "mess anything up." Enjoy it, as once they put those eggs back you won't have your body to yourself for ~9 months!

KRSimmons3 · June 2014

I start my bc on fri for my first cycle after 6 failed iuis

@jessimi06‌ ((hugs))
Congrats @adadeart‌ and @jaztaz1‌!!
@jaytee16 congrats on being PUPO!
@runawaylaurel‌ congrats on the fert report!
AFM, I'm stimming along, hopefully follies will grow and mature some more before ER Monday or Tuesday. I'm anxious about getting a good amount of mature eggs so that we have something to freeze, and hopefully better results this time!

Lillovebug79 · June 2014

Can I join? I am currently finished with my 1st week of BCPs and antibiotics. I start Lupron on Wednesday next week. I got my Calendar today so I'm excited about that. ER is likely going to be the 2nd week of July. I'm excited/nervous!

jessimi06 · June 2014

Thanks ladies! We switched to TI (not that it will work) and I was joking with DH that with 2400 iu of gonal f, 900 iu of menopur, and 7 cetrotide kits later, we have one expensive follie haha. You have to find humor somewhere, right?

Congrats @jaytee16‌ on being PUPO!
@runawaylaurel‌ Good luck with your transfer!
