***November Tiny Turkeys Check-in 11/20***

Re: ***November Tiny Turkeys Check-in 11/20***
AFM, I'm still in the 2WW. Beta is on Tuesday. I broke down and did another HPT. It was negative, but I'm trying not to stress since it's still early. Like @RG1979, at least if I get a BFN during my beta, at least I'll be able to enjoy copious amounts of wine over Thanksgiving!

It must be because we are the "Turkeys" that we are getting such positive news!
Congrats to the BFPs!
Hugs to the BFNs!
And extra wine for those of us who are canceled, awaiting the next step, or who are just feeling a bit down.
After feeling positive for so long, I've finally hit the "down". I know it is okay but we've decided we have to begin banking our eggs. This is going to be a lot of OOP expense for us but our doc is worried that in the future my egg reserve may not give us much of anything. Hubby (and this is a surprise to me) really wants to exhaust all possibilities before looking at other options.
So, if insurance comes in time- I'll be moving over to the Dec. Sugar Plums for our next cycle. If not, I'll head to January.... I don't think they have a name yet.
As a side note, last night we had our Thanksgiving dinner with our students at school. This year I'm finding it so hard to be thankful because the one thing I want is the one thing that isn't happening. And then I remembered the support and love I've received thus far and figure that I need to be VERY thankful for all that. It is still hard......
Sending love and hugs to those who need it.
Do we have anyone up in upstate NY with the massive amounts of snow?
Stay warm!
I will ALWAYS believe that "everything happens for a reason".

Egg Pull Try #2/IVF 3 - Began 1/20/15
So, today is 7dp5dt for me and I finally broke down this morning and couldn't wait any longer to POAS. For the first time ever, there were two little pink lines! DH and I are still in shock and over the moon happy this morning! Hoping that it keeps getting darker over the next couple of days. I know we still have a long way to go from here (beta isn't scheduled until the 28th), but we are definitely enjoying it all for the moment. Thank you so much ladies for all of your support along the way! Hoping to hear lots of good news from the other PUPOs very soon!

Good luck to all the ladies who are PUPO
HUGS for the BFN, it breaks my heart to hear this has been such a long journey for so many of us it' sjust not fait we all deserve our BFP.
jellybean1106 and kaly75 good luck with your 2WW hang in there it's so hard to not test but it can be discouraging if you do and it's negative becuase it's just too early.
@mariana81 so sorry about you embies, hugs.
Hollowvic Don't give up hope, I hear a lot of people feel like they are getting their menses but instead get a BFP. I will pray you will be one of those women.
@bunnybun4 I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma, I hope she is doing better.

@SweetieShellieH I had mine @ 11:15 today. You'll be fine with the sedation. You'll be knocked out throughout the whole process, by the time you wake up you'll be back in the prep room. They didn't allow dh in for the actual procedure but maybe everyone does it different. Day one is the day after ER.
As for my ER they were able to get 20 mature eggs & I'll get my report tomorrow between 12-3. I can't wait to see how many fertilized. I'm feeling really crampy & a lot of pressure now so I'm going to pop my first & hopefully last painkiller.
@carrieharry79 Congratulations to you too! Two in a row! FX for even darker lines tomorrow!
@SweetieShellieH Good luck with ER! The day after ER is day 1. :-) You know, it's funny, I expected to have a hard time with the anesthesia, but I just woke up and was completely alert and normal (but sore).
((hugs)) @Twinkie0612
@MamaKakes611 I am in Buffalo, but luckily live north enough that we didn't get much. My parents and IL's have been snowed in though, the driving bans were lifted last night and this morning and people are getting out today.
Congrats to all the BFPs!!

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
I have found heat to help me the most... I warm up the oil in my hand or armpit ~10min prior to injecting and then sit on a heating pad for 40min after! That seems to work for me!
My thoughts and prayers with anyone who got a BFN, cancelled/delayed cycle, any other sort of worrisome news or stress.
I had my ER this past Thursday - 15 eggs/10 mature/5 fertilized and still going. Got the call today that we should make it to Day 5 and PGD which is exciting and super nerve wracking. Hoping to be PUPO for Thanksgiving!
