    Congrats to the BFPs - so exciting! And good luck this week to everyone else!

    I'm so sorry @katib77 . If the BFN becomes official, I hope that you can find peace with your new plan... but for now, I will keep my FX just in case

    Nothing new here since I just posted an update yesterday. My lining was only 6.3mm at yesterday's appointment, so my transfer is delayed. I have another lining check on Friday to re-evaluate. RE seemed hopeful that my body just needs a little longer. I hope she is right because I really can't handle another cancellation :(

    Grow, grow grow! 
    **warning**
    Me (31), DH (33), one furbaby (7) - unexplained IF 
    hysteroscopy and polypectomy 2/14
    IVF #1 3/2014 - cancelled (early ovulation)
    IVF #1.2  ER 5/16/14: 23R 18F -  freeze all (12) due to concern for late onset OHSS 
    FET #1 in June - delayed due to thin lining, 7/18 SET (7.5 mm lining) resulted in chemical pregnancy
    FET #2 in Sept - 9/4 transferred 2 CCS tested embryos (6.5mm lining)
    9/13 beta #1 - 400, 9/15 beta #2 - 950, U/S 9/22 one gestational/yolk sac - next up 9/29
    3 frozen CCS tested embryos remaining

    I'm so sorry @katib77 :(  You are in our T&P.  But still holding out a tiny bit of hope that the beta brings a wonderful surprise.  

    Not much new here.  I'll hear in the next 2 days how my embies are doing.  I've been handling the wait so well, I kinda don't want to know...is that bad?

    QOTD: Our first official date was a museum and a movie.  I'm not crazy about museums so I pretended to know what the f*ck I was looking at, DH got a speeding ticket on our way to dinner, and I was super awkward and nervous....so not the ideal first official date.  But the next time we saw each other, we laughed it off and things went well ever since.  I knew pretty early on - I definitely knew after we met that things felt really different.  We moved in together after 3 months.


    Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
    IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
    IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
    Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
    Camila Josephine arrived 4/30 :)
  • Hello ladies!  Sounds like things are moving alone.  

    @katib77 I will have everyting I can cross crossed for you.

    AFM, I am 1dp5dt.  We had one make it to freeze, and another they were watching, but never updated me on.  My RE's office is less then customer service oriented.  They are also the only game within hours of here, so they control the market per se.

    My beta will be the 25th, but I assure you I will test at least daily :)

    QOTD:  We went to dinner, and I think to the local drive in.  He knew long before he convinced me :)

  • Holy 2WW! There are tons and I am praying for each and every one of you beautiful women. @Katib77- I'm so sorry but will still hold hope that tomorrow has a wonderful surprise in store for you. @mrs.willie- I believe we might be cycle buddies those are the exact days for me :) 
    @ikrystal- I know in my heart your boys are watching over you, sending you a BIG (((HUG)))

    AFM- Appointment yesterday went well lining is at 10 mm right now I'm still on Estradiol twice a day and will move to PIO on Saturday most likely. I have an appointment on Friday so I'll know more then. ET should be next Thursday FX

    QOTD: DH and I met at work I don't really remember having a "first" date but we did go out to lunch together by ourselves to Carl's Jr LOL.....which we kind of made a "date", however he was practically on the phone the whole time and I wanted to punch him in the face. I have no idea why I stuck around and continued going out with him after that but it was the best decision I have ever made.

  • Big hugs @katib77‌ and anyone else who needs one today. @Justone13‌ you're almost there! @pblge it must feel so good to be back home again!

    I'm 6dp5dt today, tested and got a BFN. The only positive HPT I've seen was at 12/13 DPO so I'm not going to count myself out just yet. I've been much happier testing this time. Beta or bust was good for my first cycle but I'd rather have the time to process negative results on my own vs on the phone with my RE. Plus my beta is Saturday and we have active plans that I'd like to keep! I don't really feel any symptoms other than being tired in the afternoons from the progesterone.

    Not sure what the plan is if this doesn't work. It's technically our second cycle (IVF #2 we never made it to transfer, just ER) but I'm worried about the effect these drugs/hormones may have on me over time. It's also so frustrating to get 12 eggs retrieved and only one blast (we had none our first cycle). I guess the only answer we have is that we are really super duper infertile! (Can we get a cape or special logo for that?)

  • 4dp3dt and the craziness has started. I'm reading into every ovary twinge and cramp even though I know pregnancy/progestrone symptoms are the same. Good luck and hugs everyone. @justone13 I was using 6 vials of Bravelle, 3 of Menopur and Genarelix. It took me forever to just put the shots together!
    Ready to take the road less traveled. 
  • @katib77 I am so sorry to hear about your BFNs. 5 years on this roller coaster is a hell of a hard journey and I hope you and your DH can find emotional healing, whatever happens tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a miracle, a slow-grower, faulty pee sticks, whatever.

    I am suddenly miserable and have a constant headache. Happy day 9 of stims. 11 follicles over 15 as of this morning, and I really hope tomorrow is trigger day because these eggs have GOT to get out of me.

    @Katib77, I am so sorry. It is so unfair.

    @pblge, congrats on being PUPO!

    I'm loving all the positive action, BFPs and PUPOs. My heart breaks for those who are not as fortunate. AFM, my anxiety is up today, as tonight, Stim day 7, I increase my Follistim to 425 (that's a lot!) and add in my first dose of Ganirelix. Ganirelix to me signals the countdown to ER, which is always the worst part for me. (I hate being put under.)
    On the up side, I have been off the Estrace for a couple days now, and my morning nausea, weepiness, and general crappy feelings have disappeared. I hope that was the cause so I never have to do that again!

    QOTD: Tell us your first date story with your OH!! Did you "know"?
    I can't recall a "real" first date. We've been together since college days, so we just kinda started hanging out and then hooking up and then we moved in together! When we first met, I don't think there was much of an initial attraction for either of us. But once we fell, we were all in! <3

  • First of all, huge congratulation to all the BFP, FX for all those who are PUPO, ::hugs:: to those who need them. 

    Sorry I haven't been around much to offer support lately. I am trying to come to terms with our IF - we are now going on a year since our DX and I just can't grasp that it still hasn't work. 

    We are all clear for our FET transfer on Saturday morning. I had a US on Tuesday and we are now talking about our options (mainly going abroad for treatment). I am scared and sad and praying that this time it just works. DH blindsided me recently with the suggestion of DS, which is unfathomable for me right now and I am trying to work through that at the moment. 

    QOTW: It wasn't really a date, but we went surfing. I was predictably terrible at it, but that didn't seem to deter him. ;)

    Me: 28, DH: 35
    DX: Severe MFI, AZFc Microdeletion
    TTC since August 2011
    IVF w/ ICSI 1: Dec. 2013 - BFN
    FET 1.2: Mar. 2014 - BFN
    FET 1.3: May 2014 - BFN
    FET 1.4: June 2014 - BFP

  • Hi ladies - congrats to all the BFPs & those in the 2WW.

    Unfortunately this cycle ended in a BFN. Although my husband and I still have to talk a little more, unless he has a change of mind, we are at the end of our journey.

    I am heartbroken beyond words and have been crying off and on all day.

    Every other time I've had a loss or a negative result, we were planning to try again. Now knowing this is more than likely the end... All the weight and sadness of the losses I've had and the journey this has been just comes back to me ten fold it feels like.

    I'm sorry I wasn't much of a support here - and I thank you so much for all the support you all have shown me.

    I wish you all all the very best.
