@RunCC37 – Happy to hear you have a little fighter!! Always thinking of you
AFM: I'm having hot flashes, I'm on CD 47 or something like that. I had a positive OPK last week, I checked it again and still positive, so my LH is just high I think. I emailed my RE because the hot flashes are becoming unbearable, she said if I do not have a period in 2 weeks to give her a call or shoot her an email (she'd like to do an ultrasound and check my estrogen and progesterone levels before I can start birth control pills). If my period starts, I can go ahead and start the pills as planned since I will need to be on it for my DE/DS IVF in March. This is the 1st time in my life I'd love to be on BCP's, I'm tired of the hot flashes.
QOTW: DH is our cook, but he's lost his passion, and I'm tired of eating out. I'm going though my Pinterst board in hopes of finding a few recipes that DH will like that I can make.

Evening ladies. I am taking a break this month and will start #5 in February. I am a teacher and have to go back to work tomorrow.......ugg. Hope everyone has a great week!
Qotw: I love my protein rich nachos. I use low fat and low sodium tortilla chips, cheese made from skim milk, I can of black beans, low fat ground beef and salsa. I put chips on tin foiled lined cookie sheet and in two pots heat up beans and brown the meat. Then drain everything and put it on top of the chips. Cover in cheese and bake till cheese it melted. I put salsa on mine. I use just a little ground beef and a whole can of black beans. It is easy to make very filling and clean up is a breeze!

I'm 20 weeks and I finally feel great, the rumors are true.
I officially announced at work this week and the support has been overwhelming. (Grown men tearing up, etc.) Most people know my loss history and IVF journey. they have been cheering us on.
My Anatomy Scan is in the morning and I am paranoid as hell! Trying not to freak out but praying on my knees everyday. I feel her move and that helps me feel a bit more reassured.
also, I ordered a picture book about egg donation to help babies to understand 3rd party reproduction! I'm excited to see what it says and most happy to read it to her someday.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
I am 8 weeks as of Saturday and still suffering from all day sickness and fatigue. But I'll gladly take it. I prayed for so long for these babies, so I won't complain.
Update: The donor we chose accepted! She was really excited to help and said her schedule is very flexible the next few months! Repeat SA, uterine sounding and consent forms - Appt schedule 1/12/14.
If you end up cycling in March we will be cycle buddies!!

Happy New Year Everyone! Hugs to those that need it.
Nothing new here. Our surro is doing well and will hit 12 weeks on Thursday, we are almost through the first trimester.
All of my meals are 30 minutes or less since I get home from work to late to make a more elaborate meal. We usually buy chicken in bulk and cut it up into chunks and freeze in packets enough for the two of us. Some quick healthy meals include chopped salad with chicken, chicken stir-fry with frozen veggies and rice or rice and beans with garlic chicken. I usually just defrost a packet in the morning before leaving for work and then quickly cook when I get home. DH and I like to have family dinners even though so far it is just the two of us. We cook 4-5 times per week. Some not as healthy dinners include Chili (we do the same with chopped meat), and taco night or home made pizza.

Moved on to gestational surrogacy with a family friend who is our angel and due 7/23/15
Becky- wow, that went fast! Your LO will be here before you know it.
Lacy- best of luck to you on your January FET!
So, as I forecasted, another BFN from my December cycle. All in all over the past years, we've transferred a total of 12 (you read that right!!) five day blasts from proven donors and had only one live birth. Don't get me wrong, I am so incredibly thankful for my daughter. However, these last few attempts for a sibling have been tough. Either I am completely on the wrong side of statistics, or all this immune stuff matters a lot more than my RE says it does.
I am meeting with a new RE at a large clinic, considering making the change for our final attempt (we have 2 blasts left). My current RE recommends a hysteroscopy and an endometrial scratch. Dr. KK recommends IVIG (in addition to a host of other things) and has submitted a request for consideration by my insurance, likely will not go down that road. I will do intralipids.
I am not optimistic, but find some comfort in knowing that this will all be over, one way or another, by the late Spring or summer. You know that you are near the end when just the thought of being done gives you peace!

@JimBobCooter - hang in there. I'm glad to hear that you're looking for someone to talk to. Take care of yourself
@mm29 - I hope those hot flashes ease up on you soon!! Sounds miserable.
***PAIF*** We had our 10 week scan yesterday, and thank goodness things seem to be back on track. It was a scary two weeks. Four if you include our bleeding scare in week 6. But we saw our wiggly little gummy bear doing a little dance party in there on the ultrasound screen! S/he is measuring 6 days behind, but the past two weeks have shown two full weeks worth of growth. I'll graduate from the RE next week, and have my MFM consult later that day. Then an appointment with the OB the following week. I just hope things continue to go well. I am still so sad about the loss of Ninja B... Twins were a dream come true, even if it was only for a few weeks...
Hugs to all who need them!
We are doing well.., can't believe they are 17 months old already!!

Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
