  • @yelllow22 I've been eating a lot of ice cream too... and pickles..... my cramps are basically almost gone, though I get twinges now and again. I don't really feel any different. I started a new position at my job, so it's been very busy and I'm running around a ton. I'm trying to stay hydrated and calm. If I start to get overwhelmed, I close my eyes and meditate for a couple of minutes. I know it's weird, but I kind of almost forget that I had my transfer at times, and then I get a weird jolt reminder and get happy. :) 
    @WishingforLuck  I figured I'd just roll with it and not say anything. I didn't want to rock the boat and it will be that much more positive if I wait. 
    @susykat77 Congrats lady!! That is so awesome!

    Pregnancy Ticker
  • @WishingforLuck I'm still getting cramps once in a while, which I'm just going to accept for now because the nurse told me they could go for weeks. I'm feeling okay otherwise. This was not a good time to transition to a new job, but it is what it is. Trying to stay positive and calm.

  • @susykat77 Thanks lady! Work has been better today so far than the whole week. I'm learning things so it doesn't feel so overwhelming when they come up. I'm definitely going back to meditation and happy thoughts when I do get stressed. One week down, one to go!
    @Tulips29 I decided not to ask the nurse about it and just roll with the punches. I don't know why they wait so long, unless it's just to make sure the numbers are really where they are going to be. I'm okay with waiting I think, even though it's hard sometimes. IF has been such a journey of patience and understanding that I really feel peace about the timing of my beta.

  • Ladies, I am out  Got a BFN this morning when POAS and I checked CM and saw that AF is on the way.... I had been feeling slightly crampy the past 2 days, but was hoping that was implantation cramps. Wrong. I am obviously upset and frustrated, but will still try another cycle. What's hardest was having to tell my husband. Tomorrow is his 40th and we are going to Miami next week to see my family and celebrate my grandpa's 90th bday. I was SO hoping to come home with some positive news.... Also, I'm currently emailing my RE about possibly allowing for us to take the Letrozole once more without a baseline U/S, since I will be out of town. Should we take this month off? I also don't want to miss out on ANY chance we have, considering my DOR. This is just unfair. I'm 34 years old and have been healthy all my life. Am I really not meant to be a mother to a human baby? I am feeling pretty down right now...... sigh.

    I hope everyone else gets a BFP and doesn't have to go through another day of sadness and disappointment.... if unfortunately you do get a BFN, please message me and we can b!tch about it together. I appreciate every single one of you for being brave and posting your stories/situations on here, and ALWAYS offering so much love and support and good information. THANK YOU!

    I hope we all get our BFP's sooner than later.

    So @wifeinraleigh28 mark me down for IUI#1 being a B-F'in-N! I'm drinking tonight!
    Me: 35 DOR, low AMH = 0.694, and fibroids
    DH: 41 
    Married 10/25/2014 / TTC since 05/2015
    1st IUI 05/05/16 Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN
    2nd cycle on Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-11 + TI = BFN
    3rd cycle on Letrozole but did our 2nd IUI on 07/01/16. 10 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN
    Onto IVF! Started Lupron on 09/24. Added Gonal F and hcg injections 09/26...... Trigger 10/07. EggRetrieval 10/09. Starting PIO, Estrace, and Medrol 10/10/16. Transferred 2 "strong/beautiful" embryos 10/14/16. Beta 10/28/16 = 998 mIU/mL = BFP with one baby, but miscarried at 9w5d.
    D&C on 12/06/17 and started taking BCPs 01/10/17 for the next IVF Cycle, which officially began stims on 02/18/17.
    Fast Forward: we got 4 fertilized embryos from that cycle. Transferred one fresh, but it did not stick, so we have 3 frozen embryos currently. Went in to the fertility clinic in July to talk about a FET of one of those three frozen embryos, but a new fibroid was discovered, and I was not cleared to do the transfer until I had fibroid removal surgery.
    08/11/17 had a mini-laparotomy / myomectomy to remove 6 fibroids, largest sized were the size of golf-balls! Once we were cleared to go about our normal lives (sex!) I got pregnant NATURALLY but it was a chemical pregnancy. The very next month we had another BFP and here we are now with a baby on the way! A TOTAL AND COMPLETE MIRACLE!
