Hello Ladies!

Congrats to the BFP ladies! ((HUGS)) to all who need them! I wish you all GL on this IF journey.

AFM - AF came this weekend, which I am hoping will help us be ready for another FET in January. I am waiting to hear back from my nurse who was on vacation last week. We also made an phone consultation appointment with a new RE in our area. I cannot imagine leaving our current RE, but I want to get his opinion.

I will miss talking to all of you ladies! Thank you for all of your support these past 2 months!!

QOTD - I love the decorations. I get so excited going to all of the light shows! We have already gone to 2 places for their light shows (Botanical Gardens and Zoo). We plan on doing the carriage ride through the big light show in a park close by soon!

rass0 · December 2014

Good Morning! I wish all the Tiny Turkeys the best of luck and thank you everyone for your support!

QOTD-relaxing and being with family!

Spring78 · December 2014

Hi ladies. Sorry I was MIA for the last couple weeks. I needed to step away for a bit -- the BFN hit me harder than I expected... First BFN since my mmc... I just needed to not be around for a while. But I was still rooting for everybody. Congrats to the BFPs and hugs for anyone who needs them.

Looks like I will be seeing a number of you amongst the Precious Penguins. FX it is a good month!

Happy Holidays to everyone one.

QOTD: too hard to pick... I guess I'd have to say when decorations go up at work. I work at a major family learning tourist destination... We take the holidays pretty seriously. There is just something special in the air when the decorations go up.

Sha259 · December 2014

Hello Turkeys!! A final congrats to all of you moving on to your BMB and PAIF. I do not want to see you back here unless you are trying for #2!!!

AFM, I updated on the last update thread, but we got our HPT BFN confirmed at my beta on Sunday. I've gotten so many BFNs in my life, I think I'm used to it and I'm surprisingly okay with it. But I am even more determined that one of my 4 frosties will be my take home love.

To all those with BFNs, freeze alls, or cancelled cycles. Maybe we will meet in the Jan group!

QOTD: Taking vacation time off. This year, I am riding all the rides and drinking all the Christmas booze in Disney. I had been hoping I wouldn't be able to, but so goes life. Then I am off for another week and will veg on my couch, because I can.

lebradford · December 2014

Thank you so much @cwoodward777 and @mariana81 for being such great check-in leaders!!!

I have my fingers crossed for all our our Tiny Turkeys, no matter where you are in your journey right now.

QOTD: I like being with family, seeing Christmas lights, eating, and watching people open gifts that you are excited to give them. :-)

mrscsw · December 2014

@sha259 - I am so sorry! ((HUGS))

Twinkie0612 · December 2014

Thank you @cwoodward777 and @mariana81 for being our check in leaders. Good luck to all the BFPs, I wish all H&H 9 months. To the BFNs, losses, canceled cycles, and delays I wish you all luck moving forward!

AFM, today I have my repeat saline sono and my calendar review. Hopefully my ute will be polyp free. Tomorrow I have my endometrial biopsy. I have put my deposit down, so my FET is officially set for January!

QOTD: I really enjoy spending time with my family. My mom is big on Christmas and we get together Christmas Eve and exchange some presents, eat a lot of food, and spend time together (it usually involves board games that turn into the battle of the sexes). We also do Christmas morning with my family, spend the afternoon with DH's family, and head back to my parents in the evening to see my Dad's family.

carrieharry79 · December 2014

@cwoodward777 and @mariana81 Thank you so much for leading this great group. And thanks to everyone for the support and information as I went through IVF for the first time. I would have been lost without you.

Best wishes to all of the Tiny Turkeys! I hope 2015 is an amazing year for all of you AND I hope it involves pregnancies and babies!

QOTD: I love decorating the house and the smell of the christmas tree.

AngM123 · December 2014

@cwoodward777‌ and @mariana81‌ thank you for taking the time to be our check in leaders!

Beta #2 came back at 9. So as suspected it was a chemical. While I wish the outcome was different, I am more than happy to finally stop taking all these meds and move forward. Hopefully AF will arrive soon and I can still squeeze in a FET in January with all the Penguins.

Best of luck to all the Turkeys!

mrscsw · December 2014

@AngM123 - I am so sorry. Are they having you stop all of your meds immediately or will they do another beta?

doves654 · December 2014

Thanks so much @cwoodward777 and @mariana81 for being such wonderful check-in leaders, and to everyone for helping so much with support and information. I wish so many of us weren't going on to be Penguins, but I'm so glad we will be able to support each other.

@NarniaDreaming please let us know how your WTF appt goes today. FX for the green light!

@cokiebear selfishly I really hope you're a PP with me. FX for a informative and positive WTF appt tomorrow.

@Spring78 I hope you're feeling a little better, and I'm sending you positive thoughts

@Sha259 I admire your outlook so much! I hope to see you in the Precious Penguins!

@Twinkie0612 FX for great appts today and tomorrow. I'm so excited about you being a PP - you helped me so much this cycle!

@AngM123 I'm so sorry to hear your updated beta news and about your chemical pregnancy. My heart aches for you. FX you're a PP with us though!

QOTD: I love so much about the holidays. The music, the lights, celebrating with friends and family.

wcasar · December 2014

I'll miss these Tiny Turkeys check ins. I'm so happy for you all that are working on your 9 months. Thanks to our two awesome check in leaders! I have my WTF appt next Monday. Most likely going to be a precious penguin with some of you. Looking forward to better news in 2015. This will be the year!

The holidays are nice to gather with friends and family. It gets stressful at times but I'm thankful for our large family and how close everyone is.

MamaKakes611 · December 2014

Hi Ladies...

Saw it was the last Tiny Turkey post so I wanted to stop in and say THANK YOU. I probably wouldn't have made it through IVF 1 (the meds, ER, and cancel of ET) without the online community! I'm a December Sugar Plum but since we're only going to an ER and then a freeze, I hope to see many of you in the January Penguins!

I am so happy for all the BFPs and sending hugs and love to the BFNs/Canceled/Delayed.

I'm hoping that 2015 is a wonderful happy, healthy pregnancy filled year for us all

QOTD: I love family time. This year I was hoping to be pregnant and it wasn't meant to be- so we'll be in Cancun with my family celebrating the holidays. I will be enjoying wine every night!

AngM123 · December 2014

@cwoodward777‌ I am stopping all meds immediately but will do another beta in a week. If you don't mind me asking, with your previous chemical how long after stopping meds did AF arrive?

Giants721 · December 2014

@cwoodward777‌ and @mariana81‌ Thank you for all of the wonderful check ins.

Congrats to all of the BFP. Wishing you a stress free pregnancy!

To all of the BFNs, losses, cancellations, and delays, I am so sorry. I wish you all luck moving forward.

Thank you all for the support throughout this time. I miss this group.

QOTW I also love the decorations and time spent relaxing with family.

Sha259 · December 2014

Thanks for the hugs and general love ladies. >:D<

@cwoodward777‌ and @mariana81 a special thanks to you for keeping us organized and for being such supportive thread leaders.:x

SweetieShellieH · December 2014

I can't believe its already the last check-in!

Thank you soo much ladies for listening to me complaining about my OHSS! I wish I could have joined the BFP list, but I knew in my heart I made the right last minute choice by doing a freeze all so that I could get better first.

GL to those who got their BFPs. I hope I won't see any of you back on this board. Hopefully I'll be joining you ladies on the PAIF board after my FET in January!

To those who got a BFN or suffered a loss, my heart aches for you. I have everything crossed for all of you that your next cycle brings you your take home baby (or babies). I hope to see some of you over on the Precious Penguins check-in!

mbreed7 · December 2014

Thank you all for your support this month. I joined late to the party but I'm glad I did! Best of luck to all of you.

*ments*
My 2nd beta came in at 662 up from 202. Excited for 1st ultrasound the week of Christmas!

kristyn831 · December 2014

Thanks @mariana81‌ and @cwoodward777‌ for doing this check-in. Tiny turkeys was a great group to be a part of for IVF #1. I hope to see you all on PAIF soon!

cparker1 · December 2014

Warning - loss mentioned I wanted to do congratulate all the BFPs and wish you all a wonderful 9months ahead I think it's great how much the list has grown. I have been MIA because I've been extremely depressed and haven't been able to make it back on because of the emotional heartbreak I am going through, how can you be so happy and on top of the world one day after receiving free best news ever then only a few short weeks later find out your worst nightmare was reality. I should be 8 weeks pregnant today and should have gone to my 8 week scheduled ultrasound today but I started to miscarry in my 6th week over thanksgiving break I started to cramp and bleed. The contraction type craming was extremely painful and lasted 6 hrs the first time then again 4 days later for another 7 hours. My mom was here visiting and had no idea what was going on, she was concerned for me and took care of me but we hadn't told her the baby news because we wanted to surprise her and the rest of the family on Christmas Day. once I started to cramp/ bleed My Dr had me come right in to do a beta and my numbers came back high my husband and I felt some relief but it was short lived as they retested 6 days later due to more cramping and bleeding and my numbers started to drop. I am left with nothing but a broken heart and bruises from the injections, how do you get through this? Two weeks now and I still cry myself to sleep at night and I am still miscarrying my dr said I have an incomplete miscarriage so I have to live this nightmare everyday until my body decides to cooperate and finalize the miscarriage. I have been given some medication twice now that's supposed to help move thinga along and still nothing. The next step will eventually be a D&C but my fertility Dr doesn't really want my OB to do that unless it's absolutely necessary due to scaring risk. For others that have gone through this, how long did it take for your beta to go back down and your menses to start back up again? Any information would be appreciated. I feel like this was supposed to be such a happy time for us amd I am so depressed, I don't care about the holidays or anything else I just want the pain to go away. Thank you all for listening and good luck to everyone,

stace2524 · December 2014

@cwoodward777‌ and @mariana81‌ thank you for bring our check in leaders. This group was great support during my first IVF.

Congrats to all the BFPs and hugs to those who need them, IF is such an emotional journey.

@AngM123‌ so sorry to hear, I was rooting for you all weekend. Take care and good luck with your FET.

@cparker1‌ I cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now, my thoughts are with you during this extremely difficult time.

mrscsw · December 2014

@AngM123‌ - I think I got my period about a week and a half after stopping all meds. They kept me on progesterone and estrogen until my beta was 0. Which was horrible watching the numbers drop and knowing what was happening and being useless to stop it. IF sucks.

@cparker1‌ - I am so sorry for your loss! ((HUGS)) It feels so unfair when we finally get to be excited and lose it all. I am praying for you.

Sha259 · December 2014

@cparker1 I am wrapping you in the biggest virtual (((HUG))) right now. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. It is hard to describe the pain of a loss. But all I can say is let yourself grieve. And don't try to be strong alone. My immediate family all knew about my loss and I felt that was a great relief for me, as I didn't feel like I was hiding my pain, and my family knew that I did have a little one that I loved.

In my experience, it took about 8 weeks for my cycle to return.

doves654 · December 2014

@cparker1 I am so, so sorry for your loss. ((Huge hug)).

mariana81 · December 2014

Hello Ladies!!!

cwoodward777, you were amazingly kind and caring during the worst days of my life, thank you my friend! =D>

mariana81 · December 2014

cparker1 I am so sorry! My heart breaks for you! Unfortunately I have no answers to your questions but I just wanted to say "don't lose hope"! You have beautiful embries waiting for you! I know it must be tough, I have been through my special hell too, but we must have faith, I really believe that our day will come because we all deserve it!! Praying for you!

mariana81 · December 2014

NariaDreaming! Are you excited for it? At least you were able to start it now and I guess you will be able to join January's group! That's awesome! FX for you!!

mbreed7 I wish you H&H 9 months!! Congrats on your 2nd beta!!

SweetieShellieH best of luck to you in your FET! FX!!

AngM123 I am so sorry, it must be devastating to go through all this after a positive result. Don't lose hope, you are in my prayers!

MamaKakes611! You really deserve to have fun!

wcasar!! Good luck!!!

mariana81 · December 2014

Twinkie0612, I am so happy for you being able to cycle in January!! I have everything crossed for you, best of luck!!

Inspiring atitude @sha259!! You are totally right!! I am praying for your frosties and I hope to see you soon celebrating your BFP. FX!!!

mariana81 · December 2014

Spring78!!

cokiebear? FX for you!!

mariana81 · December 2014

AFM: I have two appointments on January, CRM Cornell and RMA. I heard that Cornell takes the toughest cases that usually other clinics would not be willing to help.. which I guess it is my case.. Now I am just praying that one of them will want to work with us.

QOTD: Christmas is my favorite time of the year, so I spent the whole Sunday working on my christmas tree.

mrscsw · December 2014

@Mariana81 - I feel so blessed that we were able to do this check-in stuff together! You were a great partner!!! You are such a great person and so supportive!! I am glad to call you friend!! I wish you so much luck on your journey! I know the right doctor is out there for you!!

aggiejess2007 · December 2014

Hello Tiny Turkeys! I'm a day late, but I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you. Having the support of our online group has been a true blessing throughout this entire crazy process. It looks like there will be many joining the Precious Penguins and I am really hoping to see lots of BFPs come out of that group! Sending lots of hugs to those that need them and congrats to those who were successful this cycle. @cwoodward777 and @mariana81 thank you so much for being such great group leaders! Wishing all of you the best and hoping to someday meet again on the PAIF boards!

QOTD: My favorite thing about the holiday season is getting to spend time with family.

kristyn831 · December 2014

@cparker1‌ I am so so sorry for your loss.

mariana81 · December 2014

cokiebear, it is such atitude that I am looking for.. I am glad that your appointment went well. Usually I feel much better when I have a plan for my next cycle.. Hoping you are feeling the same.. FX for you!!

shadiddynyc · December 2014

Thanks @mariana81‌ & @cwoodward777‌ for all of your suppport & kind gestures. I know I came late in the game & just want to thank you for welcoming me. You made my first ivf cycle so much better to get through. It's good to know that there is a broad that we can all relate to & share our experiences. @cparker1‌ I feel for you & I'm so sorry. I've never been pregnant before but I can only imagine how that would feel. I'm wishing for you a fast healing process so you may go on & try again.

AuroraP725 · December 2014

@cparker1‌ I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending many hugs and positive thoughts your way.

@AngM123‌ ((Hugs)) I'm so sorry. Best of luck with your January FET.

AuroraP725 · December 2014

Thank you @cwoodward777‌ and @mariana81‌ for leading the check ins! The Tiny Turkeys was an awesome group to be a part of.

I haven't been around much the last couple of weeks. I've been cheering everyone on from the sidelines, but I'm still dealing with a crappy cycle and a lot of unknowns. Surprisingly, I haven't given up yet (and my RE hasn't given up on me yet either). I'm still trucking along on meds, hoping for a FET on the horizon. I'm now on Vivelle (2 patches daily), vaginal estrogen (twice daily), and Viagra suppositories (three times daily). After 4 weeks my scan yesterday still shows my lining is being stubborn at 4.5mm. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go in for a Neupogen uterine wash and see if that helps. It feels like a last ditch effort. I don't know what else can be done at this point.

mariana81 · December 2014

Oh @AuroraP725‌ I'm sorry you have to go through so much, I have everything crossed for you and this Neupogen wash!! Sending positive thoughts to you!!!
