2IF Weekly Check-In

GraceyandTroy · June 2014

Cycle Status:

QOTW: What are you doing for Father's Day? How are you honoring your own dad and how are you honoring your DH?

GraceyandTroy · June 2014

Cycle status: cd6. Bad cramps and feeling like I've got a sack of wet cement in my gut.

QOTW: I am surprising DH on Sunday by taking him and DS to the Aquarium of the Pacific. I need to sort out details, though. He got it in his head that I was planning some really special fun surprise day for him and I hadn't really thought about it till he started guessing what we're doing. I was like, I'll give you three guess's and was hoping he would give me three good ideas, lol. But he didn't want to play along. I was thinking of going to Calico Ghost Town, but I'm afraid it'll be too hot.

For my dad, I'm not sure, but I've got to think of something good. I had flowers AND chocolate covered strawberries delivered to my mom for mother's day, so I'm on the hook now. I'm thinking either something grilling related or something gardening related.

CD 9. OPK- so far, not expecting a + until CD14 or so, i tend to O late. this month HAS to be it! my egg should be dropping on the good side and i just had the HSG last month so hopefully it opened up that tube enough to give me a miracle.

QOTW: we will prob BBQ and hit the pool for father's day. i got DH a mason jar cocktail shaker, he is a big martini guy and this is a manly shaker. i think he'll like it. and DS did the D-A-D pics so i'll frame those. i think that's probably enough

as far as my dad he is quite content with GCs to In & Out. mmmmmmm.

MrsLaurenandDan · June 2014

Cycle status: 3DPIUI with one 31mm follicle. So not hopeful. Getting my progesterone checked at 7dpiui.

QOTW: we sent cards to all of our dads. I ordered a photo cube of DS1 for DH and a keychain that says dad and has an angel wing for DS2. We'll probably go to breakfast or something.

SassFrass · June 2014

status: I don't give a flying eff. Af is around the corner, spotting has commenced, I put entirely too much hope into this cycle... *sigh*

We are going to DH's parents house for the weekend. We are going to go on a bike run against child abuse... DH and FIL are bikers and it is their thing, so it will be fun. DD got DH some random trinkets, bottle opener w a recordable message, a hat clip with led lights on it, and a ring with a cross... all picked out herself. I suppose I am gunna have to give it up this weekend too since its FD, but I feel so awkward gettin it on anywhere but our own home...

We are going to my dads the week after FD, so his gift this year is us visiting.

Bananappeal145 · June 2014

CD15, O'd today

Friday night we are having a back yard cook out, hot dogs, s'mores and beer per DH's request. Going to help DD make some artwork for him. Saturday we are going to the mountains for my FIL (bitchy pregnant SIL will be there. Hopefully everyone survives) Sunday we are having lunch at my dad's house and Sunday evening to my mom's to celebrate with my step-dad.

annibes · June 2014

CD1 should be tomorrow. Thought it would be today because I have been spotting for 2 days but I guess I just get to spot for an extra day this month instead of the usual 2. Hooray.

DH is getting a card that DS picked out, and I think I might pick up some filet to grill because he loves it. He loves grilling even more if he has a nice craft IPA to go along with it, so I'll be searching for something new when I do my shopping on Friday. It'll be a low key day at home.

tache · June 2014

Cd16 positive opk yesterday but hubby's in south africa so nothing happened. We did the deed on cd12 before he left and I had slight hopes that his guys could just wait around but I think I o'ed to late for that to happen so I'm gearing up for iui #4 next month.

DH is gone so nothing for him. I stuck a card in his suitcase for him to open but that's it. For my dad we will just go to dinner with h that night with him. Pretty chill.

Frenchteachermama · June 2014

CD 4, started Femara last night, go back for monitoring on 6/18.

QOTW: DH won't tell me what he wants to do, I honestly think he wants to clean the garage! I got him tickets to see Ben Folds Five at this awesome outside arena near our house and photo tiles that he can bring to his office and use as coasters.

I sent my dad a card

annibes · June 2014

Update since like 15 minutes ago.. DS's tests should be in any day now!

pettycrocker · June 2014

CD 13 of cycle 9343983948534

Cards. Everyone is getting a card.

Mommalawyer · June 2014

I'm 4dpiui. Fighting the urge to POAS. I know that last time the trigger was almost out by day 4, so I'm fighting the urge.

QOTW- DH will get NFL tickets for the Seahawks v Charger game. I'm a Seahawks fan and he's a charger fan. I'll probably try to cook....I haven't figured out what DD is going to do for him yet, but she still wants to, even though he's her stepdad. I'm sure DD will ask to get her craptastic bio dad something & I always take her. Every holiday. It's not reciprocated. Ever. Or even a thanks. My Dad, pictures, framed, from the wedding.....

efhoping2010 · June 2014

Cycle Status: Well after all that planning, DH has important meetings and cannot miss per his work, any time in July, so now we cannot have our fresh IVF/ICSI #4 in July

I am really sad about this. We need a fresh PESA at ER, I need that 10% higher success rate it could give us so using frozen sperm not at ER is not an option.

So DH says maybe August or November, since we have to plan being out of state and time off of work and babysitting.

BLAH

I am also reconsidering speaking to CCRM again since I like the thought of transferring only viable embryos after CCS testing. It is the cost that scares me as well as the issue that our embryos never make it to day 5 and the travel and distance.

Wishing everyone well.

QOTW: Ordering him his favorite lox from NYC.

southernbelle82 · June 2014

Still no period post ectopic. Getting a little anxious...I need my last ovary to keep working. First appt with RE is tomorrow. Very nervous.

We're just having family over to our house and having some BBQ catered. Just keeping it low key and relaxing. On top of the recent loss and surgery, we just moved into a new house 3 weeks ago so we're just going to enjoy being together as a family. (I've dropped the ball on gifts)

sailorgal · June 2014

Cycle Status: 11DPO I think. Or 10. I didn't chart through cycle monitoring this month and so I was unclear which day was O. Beta Friday. I only have one test left of my own and I plan to test Friday morning as I'd rather know first that way. Plus we're due to dish out more money on Friday morning to the clinic for some additional tests so I'd rather know in advance and decline the tests if by chance we get a BFP. So far no spotting even off the progesterone so I'm analyzing everything!

QOTW: What are you doing for Father's Day? How are you honoring your own dad and how are you honoring your DH?

No Father's Day plans. Maybe just a nice brunch or something. I'll call my dad. We aren't big into holidays in this family.

Momarazzi007 · June 2014

Cycle status: transfer today :-SS

Father's Day- actually visiting MY Dadinstead of it being the mil show and I am only getting away w that BC it is also my Mom's birthday. I get to see them once or twice a year, and inlaws a few times a month- but I still am treated like I keep dd away from them- whatevs. Hubs- I got him some copper mugs and ginger beer and we already have vodka and what not so he can do refreshing drinks all summer. He also FINALLY joined me on my healthy eating after years if me just incorporating foods and healthy stuff he is seeing it in his health magazines and is like- how did you know this brand and this food? I just picked healthiest ones I could- thank-you for joining the party! So because he isn't as happy w some of the bunny foods I got him some sauces and marinades and what nots and but those in a big bucket. No grill... But maybe this will inspire him to pick one!!!

annibes · June 2014

@Momarazzi007‌ eeeeeeee!!!!!

mbo109 · June 2014

Status-CD 4: Cyst; Benched; BCPs

Father's Day- Apparently I need to step up my game! My mother's day gift was a car bike rack, so DH may be getting a bike so we can ride a trail or two...Though I am pretty sure it is not so good on the swimmers

:-/

CeCe8579 · June 2014

I'm on CD12. I think I'm ovulating today. I got a BAM + OPK yesterday and it's fading today.

We have cards and stuff for Father's Day and we are taking my hubby out for Father's Day. My dad went on vaca so we celebrated with him on Mother's Day.

Mommalawyer · June 2014

Good luck @Momarazzi‌ !!!! FX!

Steph1673 · June 2014

I'm about 10DPO. This is either our last or our 2nd to last natural cycle before medication/IUI depending on DH's work/travel schedule and our availability for treatment around DD's tonsil removal and recovery.

We just got back from vacation today with DH's family, so DD and I will wake early tomorrow to get special donuts for DH and then head to my parents for lunch to celebrate with my dad. We painted pottery (a picture frame and key tray) for DH and also got him a new work bag. My dad we got concert tickets and a new grill cover.
