  • Hi -

    Cycle status: waiting for day #1 to start after being benched for too many cysts.  Should be starting any day now.

    QOTW: We buy them.  Jake (of the Neverland pirates) and a Transformer.

    QOTW: We buy them.  Jake (of the Neverland pirates) and a Transformer.

    I was totally trying to convince my son to be Jake as he loves loves loves that show. He saw the costume and said it's cool but no. He'd rather be the Easter bunny :S So that's what he's going to be...and we bought it.

    CD: 8DPIUI. Plan to test on Friday....beta is next Monday.
    Me: 32, DH: 33
    DS #1: April 2010
    DS #2: July 2015 (preemie born at 31 weeks) - our little miracle conceived through ART - unexplained secondary infertility/adenomyosis
  • CD7 today.  I have a consult with the RE tomorrow to go over the new plan for IVF #6.  I think I start suppression meds 7 days after I O.  Hopefully that means in a couple of weeks!  But, I will know more tomorrow.

    QOTW:  My daughter was going to be a princess.  But, her daycare teacher said they were going to have a Wizard of Oz theme.  So, I bought her a Dorothy dress and a stuffed Toto and basket at Target Friday night.  My daughter is currently obsessed with Toto!

    Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)

    IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN

    IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.

    IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132.  Lil is here!

    TTC#2:  Trigger + TI = BFN; Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN.

    IVF #4:  BCP + MDLF + Lovenox = 7R, 1F = Transferred 1 6-cell embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #5:  MDLF + Lovenox = 4R, 1F = Transferred 1 10-cell compacting embryo on day 3 = BFN

    IVF #6:  (New RE):  Long Antagonist November 2014 (transferred two 8 cell grade 1 embryos and froze one blast) = BFN

    FET#1:  BFN

  • So, I posted on all my local buy/sell groups that I'm looking for a stuffed dog. This lady had two and she sent me a picture and I agreed to buy them. I love them, but I think they're too big! This thing is like three times bigger than DS! Not sure if I can convert it into a costume. But he absolutely loves it! So I figured I would keep it for a while either way.

    Cycle status: CD7 and burning the bench. Woo-hoo! 

    The good: Went to see the RE today for my follow-up hysteroscopy and u/s to make sure my uterus is healing OK from my August surgery to remove retained m/c tissue. The good news is that the RE said everything looks great. He actually said my uterus looked "gorgeous" (*blush*). He also said the cyst on my ovary that he had suspected was an endometrioma shrunk from 2cm to 1cm. Yay! 

    The not-so-good: We got the results of DH's SA. He has low morphology but above average everything else:

    Concentration: 614.2 million/mL
    Motility: 62%
    Forward progression: 4 ("motile with strong, linear forward progression")
    Strict morphology: 1%

    Any thoughts on morphology issues would be greatly appreciated. Dr. Google has my head spinning. My RE was not too concerned about the low morph because the other numbers were so great. He said the results don't change his recommendation that we try meds + IUI as our next step. So we are looking at that for next cycle, but he said we can try on our own this month. 

    QOTW: DS says he wants to be a "scary pumpkin" for Halloween. Too cute. Found a pumpkin costume at our local thrift store. Now I just have to somehow make it "scary."

    @bananappeal145 OMG, your DD wanting to be your dead cat is breaking my heart! Adorable photo, though.

  • CD 28. I checked today because I felt like AF should be here by now- usually I'm a 27 day-er. No chance of BFP- we tried once way too early (I was out of town at O time). I have been compulsively checking my pants. I know what I should do to jumpstart the bitter old bitch- POAS. That always gets her to show up...

    Still waiting on DH's S/A results.

    QOTW: we have been asking, but DS just says "yeah" to everything. DH and I are lame and never dress up- we are not super crafty or creative.
  • @BookishMomma - we were recommended CoQ10-ubioquol form for morphology, for minimum 3 months....and I'm taking it too.

  • cycle status: day 25 of an unmedicated cycle. I am not charting or anything this month. I tried 4 rounds of clomid since June and need a break!! 1st IUI next month if everything goes well!

    Halloween: maybe DD will be CIndy Lou Who from The Grinch. DH will be the Grinch. Maybe I'll be the dog. I will make these. I haven't yet. Got DD a bunny costume at a tot sale over the weekend as back-up.

  • CD 15, Had second ultrasound today (first was Friday) 1 of the 4 follicles matured to 22mm. So had trigger and go back tomorrow for IUI #1

    QOTW: What are you and your little ones going to be for Halloween? Do you make the costumes yourself, or do you purchase them? DD is going to be Anna from Frozen and I purchased it, I am not crafty enough to make one myself.

    DS wants to be a doctor again which is what he was last year. He tried the costume on and it just fits so hopefully he doesn't grow in the next month. I buy his costumes- unfortunately I am not talented enough to make them.

  • Cycle Status:   CD9.  Started the Bravelle injections a few nights ago.  Going in tomorrow for monitoring.  Hoping this stuff is doing its job.

    QOTW:  My daughter is going to be a princess (again, ugh).  She is just getting into The Wizard of Oz, and I tried talking her into dressing up as Dorothy, but she says it's too late, as my mother-in-law already bought her some cheesy princess costume.  Maybe next year.

    I like Halloween, but I haven't dresses up since I had my daughter.  What a downer I am.  I always loved when my mom would dress up, so I think I'll make the effort this year.  I'll have to look for some ideas, though!

    UPDATE:  I had a surprise SHG this morning.  Everything looked good and I had an AFC of 12!  Looks like the lead is on my left ovary.  I should ovulate next week and then start Ganirelix the following week.  They will do baseline at the very end of November with stims to hopefully start November 1.  I spent most of the morning pricing meds.  I have mostly used Lupron or only needed a few Ganirelix shots.  But, doing luteal ganirelix means I will need 17+ syringes and it isn't cheap.  I'm used to spending a lot on stims when I was only getting one inexpensive vial of lupron.  This is CRAZY!

    I am on CDHELL....or CDHELLIFIKNOW :-(

    QOTW: My DD wanted to be Elsa so I searched for a costume that wasn't a zillion dollars and found one for $15 that is really pretty. I'm not crafty enough and I don't have a working sewing machine at the moment to make a costume. She also got a wig from the werewolf girl on monster high and I think I might dress up as her for fun! I don't normally dress up unless we have a party to go to. We'll do a trunk or treat and go to a few houses near my parents. That's probably it :-)
