    Well, I've officially lost hope. I haven't gotten a call from the doc and the office closed half an hour ago. And on top of that looks like AF is coming. I'm so bummed. Guess I'll be calling the doc soon to start this whole thing over again. : \ 
  • @kyrgyzshan I'm so sorry hon. Hugs

  • Btw, @dragonfaerie  I LOVE the mug!! Cute idea and great job on it!!  I bought books 2 years ago when we started trying. They're a play on WTEWE for the husbands, "what to expect when your wife's expanding" and another cute one of fatherhood tips. I can't wait to give them to him!!
  • @kyrgyzshan That's great! I hope you can give them to him soon.

  • @Shopaholic42488 I'm sorry you have to take a month off. I know how hard it is as I've had to be benched for a period of time. Sometimes it's good to give the body a break and let it heal so you are in the best situation possible for your next cycle. I know it's still hard. Hope the month goes by fast.

  • Just wanted to say Hello to you all from Miami! I'm so glad to see all the BFPs and am sending hugs to those who haven't seen theirs yet.... It will happen I know it! Interesting to see that all IUIs on the list were negative this time...makes me wonder if we should skip the IUI and go straight to IVF? 

    As for me, since we are traveling around we couldn't schedule a monitored cycle of IUI so we are taking letrozole from CD 3-8 at 7.5 MG and just doing TI at home......or maybe on the plane since my fertile window starts the day we go home! 

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend! 
    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!
