IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
AFM: I lost 5 lbs over the past 6 weeks and managed to fit in exercise 5 days week. I would love to try to lose another 5-7 pounds before my FET on 3/26. My plan this time is to REALLY follow weight watchers and that means counting alcohol AND eating out. I also decided that I'm going to cut back seriously on my wine before the FET so my body can be in the best shape for transfer.

I'm excited to get back started with this because the accountability really helps. My biggest motivation is to lose more weight so that I get out of the pre diabetic category the doctor put me in before Christmas and so I'm healthier and feel better. I'm sticking to my plan of eating healthier and cleaner and staying active. Good luck everyone and thank you so much for doing this @Frenchteachermama!

I'd like to join in. Recently brushed off the treadmill so I can start running again (I'm too self-conscious to run outside, plus, freezing, lol). Slowly working my way back into it, and for some reason, the start of Lent always kicks my butt in gear to eat healthier and cut down on the junk... So, here I go! After tomorrow, of course, because, I won't lie, I pig out on Fat Tuesday. No shame.
QOTW: My biggest motivation is to regain my strength. Granted, my DD is getting big, I went to pick her up the other day, and I almost fell over. I just saw a photo of myself on DD's 2nd birthday, and I looked so much healthier. Not sure what happened these last two years, but, ugh.
I'm in! I need to try and knock down some lbs before we try IVF again.
So far I've been eating less, and less carbs. I put my fitness pal back on my phone, but have been thinking about weight watchers or something a bit more helpful. I want to get back on the treadmill, but have been sick so that's been delayed.
Yay! I am in again. I lost 5lbs last time too (or close to it). I am good to go food wise, but I need to boost to exercise regularly again. Now that I am recovered (enough) and have the clear to resum normal activities, I am all in. I just need to keep the booze in check. <- said as I am about to go pour myself a beer.
My biggest motivation? I have a huge spring wardrobe. I would really like to fit in it. That and I wil FX get to start the next step in my fertility journey right around the time this challenge ends.

Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube #11 or IVF with scarring still inside? 1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
@Flamingemu, I have a great summer swimsuit is love to get back into. I'm going to have to work hard! I lost 9 lbs last time so this has really helped plus the fact that a lot of that was water weight. I start steriod injectionson my wrist next Friday and I'm really hoping they won't make me blow up like a balloon.

My biggest motivator is energy. I need more energy!
