  Congratulations to our BFPs, good luck to our 2WW, and definitely huge ((Hugs)) for those that need them. Please let me know if I forgot to update someone. 

  
  

  AFM- Transfer was yesterday so I'm officially PUPO!  We transferred (1) AA Blast and (1) BB Blast . (1) was compact so they are going to call me today to see if it made it to freeze or not. This is kind of surreal I have never been in the 2WW before and I'm trying not to be excited but trying to enjoy the fact that I'm here. 

  
  

  QOTD: I've been zipling before in Puerto Rico but I would really love to Sky dive I just get chicken when I think about it but it's definitely something I have been talking about for a while.

  I just got the call about my remaining blasts this morning. In total 14 out of the 19 tested came back normal, which is AMAZING. So we have thirteen snowflakes!! I've requested a list of the grades of all of them. Even though this cycle ended up in a BFN I'm still calling it wildly successful!
  
  In other news, I'm going straight into a FET scheduled for 7/29, but I don't think I should technically update about that here. lol
  
  QOTD: I guess the craziest thing I've done is to take a road trip from Seattle and drive up to the Arctic Circle, where we hiked and camped with the grizzly bears and all the other large mammals that roam free up there. It was AMAZING, but sometimes really scary, like when the grizzly was frolicking in the brush about 150 feet from us, and we realized that at any point it could run straight at us and the end of our time on this planet would come within a few seconds. It's gorgeous up there, though. Here's a quick photo that I found on google, and it really does look like this. Dempster highway is what we were on at the end.

  dreambig1021 Thanks for posting the check in!  Congrats on being PUPO!!!  Good luck during your 2WW and beta!

  
  

  pblge That is a great number!  FX for your transfer in July!

  
  

  mrs.willie  Congrats on being PUPO!  Good luck!

  
  

  I peed on a stick on Tuesday and got two pink lines!  Positive HPTs came Wednesday and Thursday as well.  This morning was beta so I am waiting until this afternoon to hear what my numbers are. I know my two angels had a big influence on this little embryo sticking. 

  
  

  Craziest thing I have ever done... I'm not much for crazy, but I guess just parasailing and ziplining in the Caribbean.  Nothing too big

  Hi ladies,

  I apologize for starting a separate thread on the main page, but I couldn't wait to share the HPT results I got this morning. I'm going to enjoy it through the weekend until my beta on Monday. So much could change, but I've never gotten this far before, so I feel very good about that. @dreambig1021 thank you for updating my status and congrats on being pupo!!!

  @pblge that is really awesome news! And it's great that you have your FET already scheduled. I'm glad you updated us on that. And your road trip/camping sounds freakin' amazing!

  mrs.willie congrats on being pupo! Are you going to wait until beta or test early?

  ikrystal congrats on your HPTs! FX for a strong beta today!

  QOTD: On my 23 birthday I went skydiving. It was terrifying and awesome. I had thought to do it again, but as time has passed, I've lost that level of bravery (or maybe it was stupidity?)

  Hi Ladies! TGIF!
  Congrats to @dreambig1021, @mrs.willie, @ikrystal, and @carol77B!
  Also, awesome report, @pblge! Good luck in July!
  I love seeing so much positive news today!
  
  AFM, I am between ER and ET. Transfer could possibly happen tomorrow, but now there's some question in our plan that has us frustrated and scrambling to make some decisions. I'll try to link to my thread on IFVets:
  https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12377836/fert-report-in-input-please#latest
  
  QOTD: What is the craziest thing you have ever done? Or what is the craziest thing you would like to do?
  I've done a lot of crazy things, but maybe the worst was putting myself in a lot of questionable situations with strangers. I always go with my gut. Thankfully I've been right thus far! I joined two men (strangers) on a helicopter tour of Aruba once. That was fun and took a lot of trust. I have no desire to do anything crazy anymore. I am not a thrill-seeker; I like comfort!

Maybe I'll be braver some day. @Carol77B and @dreambig1021‌ ... No way I'll make it to beta! I might test next Fri or Sat? We'll see how things are looking, but I might leave work early the afternoon I'm supposed to get my results. It's so hard being there for that. What about you @dreambig1021‌ ?

  I'm devastated. Just got the call that it's a BFN. When AF did not start, I was so hopeful. Even with 3 embryos, not even a CP. I don't even know what this means for us. We are out of sperm, out of insurance coverage, and have invested so much time and money.

  Ready to take the road less traveled.

  Hi ladies. I'm in my TWW still. Just waiting and waiting. I'm not super hopeful just because I've been down that road before. My nurse called today. None to freeze again. We are out of sperm so another TESE surgery will have to happen before we can cycle again. Another 3 g's and under the knife again. My beta is July 8th. Wtf appt is already set for July 10th. I'd rather be proactive and cancel if I have to. QOTD: I'm terrified of heights so id never do sky diving or bungee jumping. I'm not really a thrill seeker. Lol.

  Hoping4LO  I am so sorry. I can understand you needing to take a break, but was there any discussion of treatment to focus on egg improvement? Supplements or HGH? You obviously don't have to a make a decision of how long your break is, but it could be comforting to know that you are trying something that might improve your chances if/when you try again, like adding CoQ10, etc.

  AFM:  I wish it was more like a bandaid, just rip the darn thing off.

  They say that they can't tell how this will go so I have to wait until Monday for a redraw.  The bleeding has stopped so far.

  @pblge or @dreambig1021‌ you can take me off the BFP list... third beta was only 28, so it's not going to make it. So I guess this qualifies as a CP. I'm sad this little one didn't stick, happy that I was able to get pregnant, and angry that this happened because now I'm in a holding pattern till I can cycle again. IF sucks. Sorry I've been so full of drama this week. now I think I will drink a beer.

  Wow, lots of mixed news here!
  
  @pjpahel - (((hugs))) Sending you good thoughts.
  
  @mozzarella13 - Ugh, so sorry! (((hugs))))
  
  @Hoping4LO - I'm so sorry, that must have been a terrible combination. Agree with
  @Carol77B that you could ask about improving egg quality. Also, keep in mind that a different protocol could yield very different results. Compare my IVF #1 and my most recent experience--completely different! Perhaps this is a time to get a second opinion? You might want to use that free ER sometime, but getting another opinion might give you ideas to tweak the protocol. But definitely give yourself time to grieve. After what happened with my first IVF, I definitely felt that rage and hatred. It faded with time, but I'm not sure it's completely gone even now. Thinking of you and sending you (((hugs)))
  
  @Sigh202 - Gosh, I'm so sorry for your bad news, too! I hope you RE will have good suggestions at your WTF. Are you and your OH open to other options? Oh wait--maybe your insurance won't cover anything else? I'm sorry you're in this position. (((hugs)))
  
  
  ***Good news starts here, for those who want to skip it***
  @ikrystal - Congratulations again! FX for a great second beta!
  
  @ExoticAntibiotic - Yay for good frosties! Two weeks for news? Are you just looking at karyotype? I don't know about 7 day blasts either, but I'd be curious to hear!
  
  @Justone13- FX that your OH doesn't need another surgery!
  
  @tabbytown - Congrats on being down with ER, even if it didn't yield the numbers you hoped. FX for a great fert report!
  
  @chucktgirl - Hope you get good news tomorrow AM!
  
  @Hollowberry - Glad you have a blast to transfer! Hope he's a super strong fighter. Almost all of our remaining blasts are boys, too. Gotta start thinking of boys names, as OH and I have never found one we both like.
  
  Good luck to those in the TWW!!! I think I got everyone, but sorry if I didn't!

  Sorry I'm late to the check in! It's been a busy week. I don't have much to update. This will be my 6th day of Viagra and my follow up is tomorrow to see if it had any effect on my lining. I'm bracing myself for disappointment. I thought I would be having my beta this week, but low and behold, haven't even had the transfer and have no idea if and when its going to happen. Ugh. 

  
  

  Thinking of all you girls... So happy for those moving forward with good news. And for everyone else, IF really sucks. I hope we will all get there... and sooner rather than later!
