Cycle Status: CD5, Lupron forever for gearing up for FET. I went in for ultrasound and blood work this morning so I should get a call this afternoon telling me when to start estrogen and get a general idea on FET date. Any tips on thickening lining? I will be investing in some POM but is there anything else I should be doing to get ready?
QOTW: Go on a trip somewhere. Make memories, not buy stuff. All that fun stuff.
CD: 6 here. taking devil drug clomid and pushed RE to give me a trigger for this upcoming IUI. Makes me mad I had to push for it since he knows we've got limited sperm. Blood work and u/s on Friday.
QOTW: Hmmmm I'd probably use it to take a trip somewhere.

TTC #2 since 11/13
ME: Submucosal Fibroid Surgery Date APRIL 14th 2015 -Left Tube is blocked by Fibroid~Surgeon removed 26 Fibroids from my Ute and Unblocked my Tube
DH:Azoospermia...Thank God we have 12 vials of frozen swimmers
CD:11. DH's SA results last week were normal (Yay!), and I'm on Levothyroxine. Assuming the drug works its magic and my TSH level goes down, we're on schedule for IUI#1 next cycle (end of September).
QOTW: Would put it towards a trip to Disneyworld. Don't judge me.
Status: Both made it!Both were 8 cell, one was "perfect" (grade 4 for my lab) and the other was "great" because it has a tiny bit of fragmentation (grade 3).No fluid in my uterus.Transfer was smooth, doctor and embryologist said we couldn't have asked for better.Blood test will be 9/4 or 9/5 while we're at the Jersey Shore for Labor Day weekend. So I am officially PUPO!
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 started Lupron last night. It's been a long while since I have given myself those shots; but it all came back to me very fast. So crazy. I have my next ultrasound on the 4th. Hopefully if all goes well my FET will be a month from now.
QOTW: I too would use it for a vacation. I need a vacation!
I started Lupron last night as well and I am actually excited to start these injections again. It is my third attempt at IVF. I hope all goes well. Tonight, I add in 3 more injections-- every morning I will do an injection of Lupron then at night I will do another injection of Lupron along with Gonal F and Lo Dose HCG... that is the plan for now. I have my next BW and sonogram on Friday morning.
QOTW: A vacation sounds nice-- I would also like to renovate one of our bathrooms, but I think it would cost more than $1000 and I feel like I don't have another penny to spare these days.
@Frenchteachermama FX for you!!!! That is so exciting. I am glad everything went well and the embies were such great quality!! Quality over quantity there for sure
I am starting stims tomorrow for IVF #1!! I am excited to get going but nervous for all the feelings going through IF treatment brings. My other medicated cycles have always been such roller coasters. I am currently on vacation since Saturday and haven't gone to the gym and have been eating crap. That ends today, but I feel like I have gained a million pounds. Time to eat well to get these eggs to grow nice and big
Started estrodial patches today. Ganirelix shots tomorrow and the following two days, more patches on Saturday and Monday. Then wait for AF and baseline u/s.
QOTW - A trip to Arizona and California. I want to go see friends and eat sea food in San Diego!

I'm not up to much--BCPs for FET in early October (I had been told September, but--no. Oh, well.)
