Re: Happy Friday!!

  • Happy Friday to YOU!

    I will be gardening and cleaning the house. Not sure if that's considered fun? But I am VERY excited to sleep in tomorrow! I know, it's sad that that's my big excitement, but I truly can't wait. I bought a new white, fluffy duvet last week and my bed feels like a 5 star hotel! I'm going to give it the time and appreciation it deserves! :P

    Happy Friday everyone!  I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

    I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow :(

    Sunday DH and I are going to a reggae concert. I have a ton of yard work as well, I hope to squeeze some in this weekend.

    Update--I posted one the other day we are moving into IVF cycles 4, 5, & 6, that is if I'm not in menopause. I'm awaiting an email from my NP and/or RE. I may send another one out. I'm super frustrated with my body; I cannot believe I've been having anovulatory cycles, just my freaking luck!!

  • I'm going with my sister to see Porgy and Bess at our outdoor municipal theater tonight. DH works half a day on Saturdays, but wants to go see the new Transformers movie either Saturday night or Sunday morning. While he's at work Saturday, I'll probably run some errands and maybe do some cleaning around the house (or maybe I'll just sleep in, we'll see :) ). We also had planned on sitting down with my sister and BIL to discuss her being an egg donor for us. Other than that, just trying to stick to my diet and exercise routine. I'm down 8 lbs, but still have about 30 to go if I am going to hit my "ideal" weight. I'd be happy just to lose 20 more.

  • Hi ladies, sorry I've been MIA and missed a couple of great betas this week!!  My mom's cousin who was quite a bit older than her had been struggling with throat cancer recently and just passed earlier this week.  She was like an aunt to me, in addition to being my Godmother.  It relieving that it was quick and she isn't suffering any more.

    @luvboston enjoy the sleep, I hear ya, it's definitely been humid!  Maybe bring some of their favorite booze to the party? That's what we usually end up doing, even just like a 6-12pk.
    @kflynn81 yay for last lupron! 
    @twinkie0612 congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome!  I hope that convo goes well, we've been dealing with that lately with my sisters as well.
    @RunCC37  good luck with your race tomorrow!!
    @IFinTN  this happened to me last weekend, but it was my period.  It was the first time we've had more than 1.5 days together in so long and it was 3.5 days.  My cramps were so awful that I literally fainted.  I hope the sore throat goes away soon!
    @mm29 I'm sorry you're body isn't cooperating! Hopefully they answer you soon, I swear they should know not to add extra stress during these processes.
    @chucktgirl Enjoy the weekend and new comforter!! It sounds amazing :)


    AFM, I started BCPs last Saturday. I take my last one on Monday and start lupron Thursday and stims next Saturday.  We're doing the MDLF protocol once more before moving on to DEgg.  We are actually still going to the Donor Seminar still at our clinic next Tuesday just so we are prepared and won't have to wait to start because of that plus we are so pessimistic now.  Since we were going back and forth about cycling again one last time with my OE, it made this cycle come up super fast.  

    DH is working tonight and tomorrow night so he'll be sleeping while I'm awake all weekend which sucks.  But tomorrow, I'm supposed to go with my mom to see my sister's new apartment she just bought in the big city.  Then like everyone else, I'm sure I'll do some yard work and walk the dogs a bunch of times.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

    Hey ladies,

    Hope everyone does something fun this weekend!

    @chucktgirl‌ - enjoy your rest!
    @mm29‌ - have fun at the concert! Hope you heard back from your clinic
    @IFinTN‌ - hope you're feeling better
    @RunCC37‌ - enjoy your race and time with your H
    @Twinkie0612 - I hope your discussion goes well. 8lbs is great!!!
    @kflynn81‌ - yea for no more Lupron!!
    Hope you have a relaxing weekend!
    @luvboston - it has been really hot around here.. Hope you get lots of rest and enjoy your party
    @LeggyJeggy - so sorry for your loss. Best of luck on your upcoming cycle!
    @J&amp;D2007 - hope you have fun at your getaway! Good luck with your talk with your H... Uggh.. I hate those talks!!

    I am off this whole weekend, so hoping to have lots of time with my H and time outside. Going to make a pitcher of sangria so we can sit in our back yard and have a few glasses tonight.

    Still researching our next options. I think I'm going to set up a free phone consult with shady grove to see if they will consider us I'm their shared DE cycle refund program. I doubt they will, given all our past DE failures. I spoke with their out of town rep who said they have accepted pts into the program with failed DE cycles, so I guess I can at least try?

    Our other option is California conceptions. We don't qualify for the guarantee, but we can afford it and they have great success rates.

    Other than that, still waiting for my biopsy results... Still haven't decided what to do with that information to be honest... Seriously doubt I will go through that process if the results are 'out of sync' only to verify the original results. Am I making any sense at all anymore??

    Hey lady,
    Thanks for thinking about me. I should have my results within the next couple of weeks... My RE said it can take upto 3 weeks and my biopsy was on 7/2. The wait is getting more nerve wracking every day. My H feels very strongly about not 'verifying' the results with a 2nd biopsy (mostly because it really was awful). I'm not sure yet... Really hoping it's just receptive already.

    Me (32) DOR, elevated NK Cells/ 2 copies of MTHFR mutation/ MH (35) azoo/high DFI   (TTC#1 since 2009)

    IVFs#1-4: (4/10-2/12) all BFN

    Surprise Bfp (9/11) - c/p

    DS IUI#1-2 (9/12, 10/12) - BFN

    DS IVF: (11/12) - BFN

    DE/DS IVF#1: (10/13) - 2 day 3 embies transferred-BFFN

    FET of 2 day 6 blasts: (12/13) - c/p

    DE/DS IVF #2: (4/14) - 1 day 5 blast transferred...BFFN...again.

    FET 5/14: 1 day 5 hatching blast transferred...another BFFN

    Repeat SHG 6/14-normal / Endometrial Receptivity Array biopsy 7/14-Receptive Uterus

    New RE, additional testing reveals elevated NK Cells

    FET of 1 day 5 blast (RE recommends transferring 1 due to elevated NK cells) with lovenox, steroids & intralipids in October

    This is very helpful! I hope you are right, as I have never had a lining issue. The rep did tell me shady grove would want the donors stim records and the embryology reports; leading me to believe that because we did get a good amount of really good quality embryos, they probably would not accept me. I'm hoping that's not the case and that I'm worried about nothing.
    Thanks for the info!

    This weekend was kind of bittersweet. It was relaxing and I got to spend some time with DH which is always nice. (He is training to be a paramedic and does 2 shifts on the weekends) It was my mom's birthday today, so my sister and I usually get together to celebrate even though she passed a few years ago.  And I'm counting down the days until beta... Only 2 left. Beta is Tuesday
