Cycle # gazillion status: cd9 of a natural/TI cycle, Genetics appointment for PGS on the 12th, abbreviated orientation 21st, then IVF 1.2 right away or waiting a cycle depending on funds. Thankful for: 1. The ttc break that allowed me to refocus and realize how amazing my girls are. 2. The income opportunities that are allowing us to give IVF 1.2 a chance. 3. My new RE that isn't afraid to tell it to me straight, and told me SIF does not define me, and NOT having another child will not break me. I'm sad to realize nothing remotely unrelated to ttc came to mind. So even though a resolution wasn't a part of this, I'm adding that I fucking refuse to let ttc control my life and thinking in 2015 the way it did in 2014. Edit: I'm mobile and it only posted a portion of what I typed the first time Grrr

Editing again: @sailorgal said to list 3 things that HAPPENED so I tried to answer that literally, and therefore sound like an unthankful beyotch - obvi MH and girls are the most amazing people in my world and I thank the universe (bitch that she can be) everyday for letting them be in my life

annibes · January 2015

Status: CD 7 of IUI cycle. Monitoring appointment on Monday the 5th. If all looks good, RE wants to trigger that day and do IUI the morning of the 6th.

QOTW:
1. I did some training in September for a program designed to help children with autism. It has helped my own son and pretty much all of my clients and students and I'm grateful that I was able to do that training. The change I've seen in these kids have me the courage to try for treatment with the RE. If we do get another kid on the spectrum, I feel more equipped to handle that than most parents and even other professionals I know.

2. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents this year. They're getting older and I really enjoyed spending time with them.

3. DH and I overhauled our house over the last week. We cleaned out everything and sold, donated, recycled, or repurposed stuff from every room in our house including the attic. We still have a lot of stuff, but much less than we did before and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and I can breathe again. DH and I moved into our place 8 years ago today and I am thankful to be starting the new year with a clean slate.

efhoping2010 · January 2015

Status: Hoping January is the month for pre-testing for IVF/ICSI #4.

1. I was hired and am working on two projects for two different companies from home remote and it is helping possibly justify the expense for IVF#4.

2. DH seems to really like his new position and seems happier overall.

3. The little ones seem to like their new preschool.

Flamingemu · January 2015

Status: Researching new surgeons for clean-out #2. Hoping to make more headway after this.

QOTW: 1) My kiddo is amazing. She surprises me every day. 2) My job. As crazy as work has been this year leading me to many frustrations, it is secure and allows me to do many of the things I want to without much worry. 3) Having a great, accepting family.

pettycrocker · January 2015

Cycle Status: ?!?!?!

QOTW: Reflect on 2014 and tell us three things that happened that you are thankful for.

1) 2nd ectopic almost killed me, and in that time when you seriously think you might fucking DIE being rushed into emergency surgery, I realized nothing in my life means more than being my daughters', Mommy. I am so grateful I am still here for her.

2) Didn't kill my husband! High 5's all around

2) My incredible and amazing potatoes. Lordy Jesus, I know, I know, I say it ALL the time, but you guise are just the bees knees. It wouldn't be a list w/o you all.

FU 2014.

jen4ny · January 2015

CD 20-something. CD 1 should be this weekend and then I can schedule my hysteroscopy.

Thankful for:

1. My son who makes me smile every day

2. My job- I am lucky to have great co-workers and a boss who is super supportive of all this SI stuff and has been so flexible when I have needed time off.

3. My parents- they help me so much with so many things. I am lucky to have them close by.

Frenchteachermama · January 2015

CD 28. Praying AF arrives in the next day or two so I might have a chance of a Feb FET. I haven't been temping because my children hate me and never sleep so I have no idea when/if I O'd.

Thankful for:

1. My amazing group of neighbors/friends. We originally relocated my family last to be close to my sister and it turned out to be a complete disaster. My neighbors have become the family I thought I was moving here for.

2. Going back to school

3. My girls. They are perfect.

ellebelle2384 · January 2015

Cycle Status: CD21, 6DPO.

QOTW: Reflect on 2014 and tell us three things that happened that you are thankful for.

1. My girl.

2. My friends (the ladies I met through PgAL/PAL and stayed in touch with especially). They've been my lifesavers this year.

3. Running. I really got into it the second half of this year and it has really helped me tackle my emotions after our losses.

Davie813 · January 2015

CD I don't know--8? On BCPs trying to decide whether to do another IVF next cycle or take a break.

1. DD, obviously. She is amazing.

2. DH. We have a lot of stressors in our lives right now (including IF), and he's dealing with it like a champ. He always somehow says the right thing to cheer me up, etc. We got married kind of late, but I'm so glad I waited for the right person.

3. Hmmm. My parents and sister, I suppose. I, you know, love them.

pdxveg · January 2015

Cycle Status: CD 14 natural cycle/benched

QOTW:

1. We purchased our first home.

2. Watching my DD become a little person.

3. My husbands job, because without it we would never be where we are today.

Jodee37 · January 2015

CD 9 of IVF #2... Repeat u/s this morning to see if cysts played nicely and we can start stim today or if they grew I am fucking benched.

3 things:
1. My husband. Pretty sure none of the most amazing moments of my life would exist without him.

2. My kid. Can't even start gushing about how in the world I made something so fantastic.

3. I didn't drown. 2IF could've ruined me. Two losses. Ruptured ectopic. Failed IVF. But this bitch keeps on swimming. Fuck yeah. I'm pretty proud of that.

ETA: spelllllling

STL34 · January 2015

I'm still on BCPs and started lupron a few days ago hoping to do an FET at the end of the month. Baseline is supposed to be next Tuesday. Hopefully things work out with Jury duty since I was summoned to start that on Monday for a two-week period. If I can't do baseline this week (and possibly if I can't do it on Tuesday), I will be postponed. If I am postponed, that will be indefinite since work will be getting crazy in February for a while and the Neupogen I have left will expire before I could restart and I can't afford to buy more of it right now.

This year has been difficult in so many ways. It is hard to find a lot for which I am thankful at the moment. However, my husband, my daughter and my mom are forever on my thankful list. So, I am thankful for them. As to things that happened in 2014...I'm not so sure!

cshm11 · January 2015

Cycle Status: CD 32, 13dpo, 14dpt. Clomid 100mg CD 5-9 and 10,000 Novarel CD 18. Stopped progesterone at 11dpo due to bleeding, BFN this morning but still no AF.

Thankful for:

1. Being accepted into nursing school.

2. Surviving treatment for thyroid cancer.

3. Finding out I'm cancer free.

Gina070605 · January 2015

Cycle status: CD1, cycle 10. Waiting for my appt with a acupuncturist on Monday & the RE at the end of February.

1. My boys. I'm in awe every day about how awesome they are, even when they are being terrible

2. My mother- she couldn't be any more amazing.
3. My friends. I couldn't get through things without them.

BookishMomma · January 2015

LTTP here. I was too drunk on NYE to catch this.

Status: waiting for AF any day now (CD 26). This cycle was kind of a fuck it/NTNP sort of cycle. If that makes sense.

1. My first novel came out and was not a miserable failure
2. We moved into a new house that I love
3. DS turned 3, which is a hilarious and sweet age

BDevereaux · January 2015

Status: CD18, waiting for AF and hoping she doesn't wait around until CD50 to show her ugly face.

QOTW: For the most part, 2014 can piss off, but there were some great things to come out of it:

1. I become more and more proud of DD each day. She's a sassy pants at times, but holy crap, she is a smart little bugger. And oh, the things she says. She is constantly making me laugh.

2. Though this whole debacle with IF has truly sucked, I can't help but notice how much closer DH and I are because of everything we've been going through. Thankful for his patience when I'm at my worst... which has been 95% of the last year, it seems.

3. 2014 will always be the (shitty) year we lost our dog to a sudden illness, but we also brought home a new little pup to be a part of the family. While we miss our first dog every single day, the new pup is constantly learning and growing and is such a love bug.
