Re: +++ Autumn Acorn check-in 9/25 +++
I have my ER today!!!! It's not til 1:30, so I'm trying desperately not to think about food and water -- which is damn near impossible since I normally eat 6x/day.
But I can't wait to have some relief from these busting-at-the-seams ovaries. I'm so uncomfortable and I'm ready to get back to the gym! So excited!!
QOTD- I already thought that I had an amazing husband, but I'm seeing how awesome he really is. He's been so completely supportive and will do anything to make me laugh when I'm nervous -- he played the doogie howser theme song while I was prepping my trigger shot at 2:30am!

@Bcara11 - Welcome!
AFM I had my teaching appointment and baseline ultrasound and bloodwork yesterday. We got our calendar and we will be starting stims on October 3rd with possible ER on October 15th. Nervous and super excited!
QOTD: I found out that I have to have 3 days of bedrest after my transfer and while I was really freaked out at first because its going to be during a busy time at work, I realized that it will be really nice to just relax some and take time for myself.
DH - 30, MFI - currently on clomid/vitamins
TTC #1 since September 2013
May 2014 - diagnosed with MFI
July 2014 - HSG - possible blocked left tube

IVF/ICSI #1 - starting stims 10/3, ER 10/18 - Freeze all due to high E2 & risk of OHSS - 14R/11Fertilized/5Frozen
FET #1: expected 11/14
@katers79 Good Luck today, FX
Checking in, I received my box of meds this morning, its pretty intense!! I wish someone would have told me NOT to look at the size of the needles. I spent the first hour of work going through them and taking inventory with my boss and coworker, luckily they both have worked in the medical field and volunteered to assist me with my injections if Hubby is unable to do it. I have gotten so much support from my coworkers offering to switch/cover shifts. I feel blessed to have an employer who understands. Still anxiously waiting for AF.
QOTD: My birthday is Oct 7th- the big 3-0 and my anniversary is Nov 7th, celebrating 5 years!! Regardless of the outcome if IVF works for us, we will be celebrating our blessings. I took some time off work for my birthday and will be spending my time redecorating my bedroom and cooking a bunch of easy freezer meals for the busy holiday season. Hopefully this will help me relax and keep my mind off things while I can keep busy with my tasks.

Hi ladies. Happy Thursday! I'm just trucking along on Lupron for now. Today was my last day of BCPs and we start stims a week from today. Nothing too exciting to report for now.

All Welcome!
QOTD I am pretty excited to relax and watch movies and catch up on my Netflix. I'm hopefully having my transfer during a 3 day weekend and plan on doing not much more than that.
QOTW: DH and I always fall behind on the dvr'd shows we watch so hopefully we can use the downtime to start off the season on the right foot. Also, Oct. is a huge month for new release books I've been looking forward to since last Oct. so there is that to keep me occupied.

Light spotting, cramping, and a LOT of bloat. Since it was so late in the day, I took today off of work too. I'm taking gas-x, colace, and doxycycline religiously, and rotating Tylenol and Tylenol #3. Pushing Gatorade and protein too. I was told NO heating pad?
I'll keep you girls posted! FX!

My endo scratch went well. It didn't hurt near as bad as I thought it would. My RE and DH made me laugh so hard right as the RE was started the scratch so I barely noticed it because I was so uncomfortable laughing while my RE had his face in my crotch and a speculum in my vagina...... Ya that really happened. "> both my RE and DH are pretty funny so it was just timing with the wisecracks that led to these shenanigans
