QOTW: It is sunny and beautiful outside today and it is giving me major spring fever! What is something you are looking forward to about warmer weather or something thing you will miss about winter?

TTC#2 since April 2012 - Unexplained Secondary IF (probably PCOS)
Dec 13-March 14 Femara and TI - BFN
April 2014 IUI#1 (Femara + Ovidrel) - BFN
June 2014 IUI#2 (Femara + Ovidrel) - BFP 7/9/14 - No HB on 8/13/14 @ 8w4d
Nov 2014 IUI#3 (Femara + Ovidrel) - BFFN
Jan 2015 IUI#4 (Femara + Ovidrel) - BFN
Feb 2015 IUI#5 Converted to TI (7.5mg Femara) - BFP 3/17/15!!!
Cycle Status: CD1 eff all of this. Since this was IUI #4 I am terrified that at my next appointment my RE is going to have the "next steps" talk with me. When they cut me off from doing any more IUIs we will be done. I don't know how I am going to handle this shit.
QOTW: I can't wait to start planting our garden this year. Last year was the first time we grew tomatoes in years and I had horrible morning sickness that made them taste like metallic vomit. It was a bummer. I am a bit bummed that our winter was so lame here. We haven't made it up to the mountains yet and I am afraid all of the snow will disappear before we get up there.

Cycle Status: CD 2. I hate IUI cycle periods. They are awful and painful and the worst ever. Moving on to 3rd and possibly final IUI. Regardless of finality, we will take a break to discuss whether we are willing to do more IUIs or if this is it for us. Not looking forward to that discussion, but we have also started talking about "consolation" prizes. DH wants a major vacation. I'd like to consider a really fun car. Who knows. But it's nice to know there might be something cool to look forward to even if we can't realize our dream.
QOTW: I look forward to grilling and being outside. My full time job is in a school, so I'll miss the snow days!
CD 18 here. I had an IUI on Friday morning, following a round of Femara/Bravelle/Ovidrel. This combo seemed to work for us the last time around (ended in a MMC, unfortunately), so we're trying to be positive. Trying to keep myself busy so the TWW flies by.
QOTW: I won't sugarcoat it. I HATE WINTER. Love the Christmas season, but once that's done, I'm ready for spring. Especially these past few years, it's been pretty harsh around here. I'm looking forward to planting flowers and maybe updating the landscaping a bit this year. I so badly just want to lay out on my patio in the warm sun. Getting a big case of cabin fever.
CD4. Had blood/ultrasound yesterday. All is a go for this FET. Transfer should be early March.
QOTW: snow days! Even as a teacher the occasional one is a nice surprise! I'm looking forward to playing outside with LO! These indoor below freezing days are killing me!
CD- not sure really. I've had a nasty cold since Thursday and should've O'd this weekend so no trying this cycle. RPL follow up today was all good so next IUI cycle date TBD. We leave for vacation mid-cycle next month so that's out. Q- I am not a fan of winter, if that's what you call our weather. This morning started out at 70F and dropped now to 45F with rain and wind. Looking forward to planing and landscaping the yard and sunning at the beach @pdxveg I am not quite there yet, have a couple more IUIs to go but that fear started after the first fail. I don't think ivf will be possible for us. Hugs!
Status - All clear to be normalish and on a full week one of estrogen.
QOTW - Everything. I hate winter. I can't wait to play outdoors and plant my garden.

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
I despise winter. I hate the snow and cold. I can't wait for warmer weather where we don't have to freeze every time we go outside. I can't wait to be able to take DS for walks again, play in the backyard, turn down the heat. Spring cannot come soon enough for me!

I am SO looking forward to just being outside! Just enjoying life outside!! From winter, I will miss..hmm...fires. that is about it
Cycle - I am 4 days post egg retrieval of our first IVF cycle. We had total fertilization failure followed by rescue ICSI. Sunday there were 2 fertilized and yesterday they called to say 4 were developing. I'm now waiting to hear how they look on day 3 (today) and that will determine how many we can freeze. None are going to be transferred fresh.
QOTW - I can't really complain about the winter weather in so cal. We've had 80 degree days this last week.

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
I just got word that the two embryos that fertilized Sunday from rescue ICSI are grade A- and B+ and will be frozen today (day 3) and are around 8-9 cells I think. I have no idea if that is good or not but RE sounded like those two have a chance. The other two that fertilized late are around 5 cells each and don't look great but they will look at them again late this afternoon and freeze them then. He didn't sound too hopeful about those. I have to call CD 1 and go in for U/S and labs on CD 2 or 3 in preparation for FET mid-March.
