Thanks @katekate628!

@Labluver2 I'm sorry you had that experience! People don't realize how their comments can affect others. I see almost daily the complaints of pregnant friends about how hard or uncomfortable symptoms are and sometimes I just want to slap them and say "please! Just appreciate your blessing and shut up!"

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Prep for IVF cycle #2. BCP and aspirin, prenatal, vitamin D. DH doing coq10, fish oil.

Rants/Raves: We are going on a road trip to 2 national parks this week to hopefully hike all the stress away and maybe a few pounds too!

Questions for the group:

GTKY: What's your favorite zoo animal? Definitely the elephants.

katekate628 · May 2017

@Labluver2 I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. It's so frustrating I totally understand. FX for your labs on Friday!!

@Momifbysea sitting around waiting is no fun! Hopefully your road trip will keep you busy! Enjoy your time away!!

Questions for the group: For those who have used Clomid, what day did your doc have you start taking it? I've seen CD 3-7 and CD 5-9.

GTKY: What's your favorite zoo animal? I love the zoo! We have a great one in our area so we have passed and take advantage of it frequently. I love the gorillas! They are my favorite, but our zoo has a new baby girl hippo and I'm totally obsessed with her cuteness!!

Labluver2 · May 2017

@katekate628 I took clomid cycle day 5 thru 9 but this cycle I did femera BC the clomid thinned my lining.

What zoo is near you. I've been following the baby hippo on Facebook fionia and I'm obsessed with her.

katekate628 · May 2017

@Labluver2

The Cincinnati Zoo!! Baby Fiona is everything!!! I can't wait to go see her in person when she gets to be in public!

Labluver2 · May 2017

@katekate628 omg I'm so jealous!!!! I want to see her in person so bad!!!!! I just asked my husband if we could go to the zoo we have the Philadelphia one near us.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Vit D, Vit C, ubiquinol, Metformin, & Prenatals

Rants/Raves: **tw for my rants** my first rant is i STILL have postpartum bleeding... it's been 4 weeks and i'm just so over it... I just want to move forward and I can't because every time i think it's getting close to stopping it frkn starts again ...my second rant is dealing with babies-r-us to return items purchased as gifts for me has been literally the WORST. when i set up my registry with them they told me i could return things up to a year later and it sounded great, well after i lost my son i went to return some expensive items my grandmother bought for him and i found out the store can only give me a giftcard, they can't refund the purchaser ......well that does me no good- so we've been dealing with their customer service having to go over the story over and over again with different managers for almost two weeks and a manager decides to call me yesterday, on mother's day, to talk about returning the items.....seriously??? so i call them back today and they finally are sending fedex to pick up the items so they can refund the card it came from..... ***end of tw**

GTKY: What's your favorite zoo animal? Hippo & all the big cats

@Labluver2 i'm so sorry you had to deal with that.... it's just so annoying to hear women complain about something we are trying so hard for

artemis618 · May 2017

Thanks for starting @katekate628 !

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): Started lupron last week for suppression for IVF #3. Baseline u/s on Friday, I expect AF this weekend, and will start stims whenever CD2 arrives.

CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): Apparently CD28/12DPO per FF (hadn't to track O for lupron start timing). I should probably pause my account again.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Many supplements, and soon many, many shots. I actually prefer lupron to BCP though since whatever BCP my RE had me on for my antagonist cycle did NOT agree with me.

Rants/Raves: I'm a new (and first time) puppy (dog, really - she's 14 months old) mom as of this past weekend!

Questions for the group: None

GTKY: What's your favorite zoo animal? I liked the wombats in Australia. Really don't know how they survived in the wild though!

kristimh80 · May 2017

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): Full injectable cycle with Follistim & IUI

CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): Today CD10 had follicle scan, looks like 4 will be ready for an IUI possible this Friday. Next U/S Wed to know for sure.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Medicated cycle, testing every few days at Dr., taking Pre-natal, Co-Q10, Folic Acid, Melatonin, Vitamin D.

Rants/Raves: Rants..over the monthly roller coaster ride...

Questions for the group: No questions...wanted to say hi

GTKY: What's your favorite zoo animal? Monkey

FirstTimer123 · May 2017

On cycle Day 4. Considering IUI or IVF and had day 3 bloodwork done yesterday! Good news is, at age 38 I had 28 antral follicles! Average for UNDER 35 is 20, and for 38-40 is 13. Hopefully, they are healthy eggs but good to know my body is still producing enough follicles! Gives me hope... My husband's seminalysis results are yet to come in...

kristimh80 · May 2017

@FirstTimer123 That's great news! I'm happy to see someone else close to my age have a high amount too! I remember the 1st time I went in, I was googling trying to find out if it was normal! lol FX for your husband's results to be good!

vlagrl29 · May 2017

Silly question but how can they tell how many follicies with blood work?

i don't think the follicle count is done by bloodwork- i think that count is done by ultrasound if i remember right

FirstTimer123 · May 2017

Lol sorry! Meant to say had Day 3 bloodwork AND ultrasound! Ultrasound showed follicles..Some hope!

harleyquinn0621 · May 2017

update for me...i FINALLY stopped bleeding! after 4.5 weeks

katekate628 · May 2017

@FirstTimer123 & @harleyquinn0621
great news!!!

vlagrl29 · May 2017

yea @harleyquinn0621 for stopping the bleeding - that sounds about right

@FirstTimer123 - yea for lots of follicles.

Momifbysea · May 2017

Good news @harleyquinn0621 and @FirstTimer123!

AFM, I may not be on here the next few days as we will be unplugging and hiking. The day we drive back is my last day of BCP, so this will help pass that "dead" time!

vlagrl29 · May 2017

have fun @momifbysea - enjoy the hike! I love nature.

harleyquinn0621 · May 2017

@Momifbysea have fun!

Momifbysea · May 2017

We are trying for a second time to complete a hike in the Badlands called Sheep Mountain Table - it is our nemesis and we didn't quite finish last year due to a storm coming in had to turn around. That is this afternoon, driving all morning to get out there!

Labluver2 · May 2017

Beta is today I keep thinking AF is coming I've felt cramping and had some light spotting on and off. Not sure if the femera or trigger is holding her off. No other symptoms really except normal ones that I get bloating,moody tired and super hungry.

vlagrl29 · May 2017

Good Luck @labluver !!

katekate628 · May 2017

@Labluver2 good luck today!

harleyquinn0621 · May 2017

@Labluver2 fingers crossed!

Labluver2 · May 2017

Thank you ugh still waiting for drs to call with results.

SP128 · May 2017

@Labluver2 FX for you!!!!

Labluver2 · May 2017

Well I'm out:( BFN On to IUI #2 Dr said he wants to do femera and injectable cycle this time around. My poor husband has to put up with all my hormones. He couldn't stand me this week wait til I tell him I'll be worse this time around lol!!!

artemis618 · May 2017

@Labluver2 I'm so sorry to hear this

. Be sure to take some time for yourself this weekend. I am glad you have a plan for IUI #2 though.

vlagrl29 · May 2017

so sorry @Labluver2

I've been checking today for your update.

harleyquinn0621 · May 2017

@Labluver2 i'm sorry

take time for yourself while you wait to start the next cycle

SP128 · May 2017

@Labluver2 ugh. SO sorry to hear this. I'm glad that there's a plan for round two.

Labluver2 · May 2017

Thanks ladies. Still no AF its weird yesterday I had cramping normal I wiped and there was a little blood with mucus (sorry for the TMi) I thought OK I got it and expected it to get heavier. It then turned lighter pink and by the end of the day nothing. I still have cramping but no spotting.

I'm going to call my RE tomorrow since they told me if I dont get it by Monday to give them a call. I just want to get it so I can move on to this cycle. I'm normally like clockwork. I know I ovulated. Dr confirmed it.

kristimh80 · May 2017

@labluver2 Any hope that maybe implantation? A chance you implanted late?

Labluver2 · May 2017

@kristimh80 I guess thats always possible. If I dont get it today I will test again tomorrow.

vlagrl29 · May 2017

@Labluver2 - were you taking Femera? Is it possible that it has delayed your AF?

Labluver2 · May 2017

@vlagrl29 yes I was taking femera thats also possible and what I thought of first. I just want it to hurry up and get here already lol. This was my first time takint femera it wasn't delayed on clomid but it thinned my lining.

vlagrl29 · May 2017

eek - I heard clomid can thin your lining which is why I don't want to take it @Labluver2

Any bad side effects femera can have on your natural fertility?

kristimh80 · May 2017

@vlagrl29 @Labluver2 I've only taken Femara and have never had it delay periods. Usually femara is out of your system a few days after you take it, so it doesn't linger around like some other medication may. Only thing femara did for me was give me hot flashes

Labluver2 · May 2017

@kristimh80 omg yes I got horrible hot flashes.
