Re: ***September Sweet Peas Check in 9-30***
Can't wait to hear some updates from you lovely ladies today! Im on my phone today so I'll move people when I get home tonight.
QOTD: pumpkin, sweaters, jeans, boots, bond fires... The list goes on. I love everything about fall!!
I have my transfer tomorrow. The embryologist called yesterday on day 3 and said out of the 8 we have 7 "top graded and high" embryos. Fx that one snuggles in tightly tomorrow.
@Giants721 GL with transfer!
QOTD- I'm much more of a summer girl, so I hate to see it go, but I do enjoy camping in October.
Eta remembered you had a wtf appt scheduled
bazinga913 and @Bandy514 - Looks like we're all scheduled for beta the same week! Mine is Oct. 8. FX for us all!!
AFM, I'm 5dp5dt. We found out last Friday that we had three really great quality blasts to freeze, which was such a huge relief. Now I'm just talking myself out of poas every morning. I think I've convinced myself to wait until at least 7dp5dt.
QOTD: I love the weather and football!
Me 30/DH 31 Married in June 2003. TTC since 2008. M/c in Nov. 2008. D/x: DOR and MFI 5 cycles of IUI in 2010. IVF #1 in Nov. 2011. ER 11/22. ET 11/25. BFN.
QOTD: We got married in the fall because we both absolutely LOVE the colors. We're in WI and the falls here are gorgeous...almost makes winter bearable...almost. I love my boots and hot cocoa, football games and the smell of fall. Love it!! Oh and I love Halloween!
BFP#1 07/01/2004 ~ EDD 03/10/2005 ~ D&C 8/1/2004 @ 5w5d
AFM- ER 9/25, 14F, 6M, 6F. Longest weekend ever as I was hoping for a better fert report. BUT-- As of today (day #5)-- 5 of 6 look "great!" Per RE! \:D/
Those 5 are being biopsied, and those biopsies are off on a road trip for PGD while "kids" enter the deep freeze. Now, we wait...again! I can handle this though. I think. These last 5 days have been hell, so anything has to be better right? FET in oct/nov
QOTD- boots, definitely boots. And this wk, tights or leggings or whatever will help hold in my post ER belly!

**Signature Warning**
Hi Ladies!
Sorry I didn't update last week. I completely checked out last weekend after our transfer on Friday! I am officially PUPO! We transferred 1 beautiful hatching blast and ended up with 4 frosties. Beta is scheduled for 10/6.
QOTD: Football and crisp sweatshirt weather!
Edit: Decided to not ask a question which will only make me obsess more.
*****Siggy Warning*****
@Giants721 Good luck tomorrow!
@Bandy514 we are beta buddies! The 6th seems so far away.
@Tiffany0614 3 frosties is great!
@Siempre595, @Bears1011, @PurpleDaisy923 & @Buttmonkey34 Congrats! FX for great betas!
@BlueJoan You are much stronger than I am. I knew from the beginning there was no way I was going to be able to hold out until beta. GL on Thursday!
*****Siggy Warning*****
AFM- I'm PUPO!!! Transferred 2 beautiful hatching blasts yesterday. And we have 2 perfect frosties!!! I could not possibly be happier. For the first time in forever I truly feel like things will go our way. It all seems like it didn't even really happen. I plan to POAS probably starting Friday. Beta is scheduled for 10/7.
Praying the sweet pea luck rubs off on me too
I can't believe how many BFPs there are this month!!! WOW. Great news everyone and good luck on your betas!!!
***warning***
Well, I think I mentioned this in my last update, but I got my BFP! I'm 10dp5dt today and have my beta tomorrow, but at 7dp5dt, I just couldn't wait any longer and POAS. I'm extremely nervous about the beta tomorrow and Friday, but trying to stay cautiously optimistic.
On a lighter note, ever since I got my BFP, MH has been reading (and taking notes on!) pregnancy books. It's too funny how into it he is...
08/2011: Clomid 50mg, IUI --> BFN ,
10/2011: Clomid 100mg, IUI --> BFN
04/13: Clomid, IUI BFP --> MC at 6w1d
05/13: Femara 2.5mg, IUI --> BFN , 08/13: Femara 2.5mg --> BFN
03/14: Femara 5mg, IUI --> 1 follicle @ 27d --> BFP! EDD 12/02/14--> blighted ovum, missed MC 6w6d --> D&C
4/23: D&C...starting over again, with a little part of my heart broken off
7/14: Femara 5mg + brevelle + menopur + IUI --> converted to IVF, ER 7/28 --> ET cancelled due to severe OHSS.
9/20/14: Frozen Embryo Transfer --> BFP--> EDD 6/6/15 --> MC at 5w3d
10/16/14: Frozen Embryo Transfer --> BFN
2/6/15: Frozen Embryo Transfer --> BFP --> MC at 5w4d
3/20/16: PGS-tested Frozen Embryo Transfer --> BFP, Living Child born 12/1/15
6/6/17: Fresh IVF Cycle --> Severe OHSS, 5 PGS-tested embryos frozen
2/23/18: PGS-tested FET --> BFN
3/30/18: Cancelled cycle due to lining 4.2mm
**Signature Warning**
I have a confirmed BFP! Beta yesterday was 919, which seems really high. We will see how it doubles in the next few days, though.
