aka BAT SIGNAL!!!</div> </blockquote> I am so slow. I saw the thread blowing up, and I saw this, but didn't put 2+2 together!!! :D
Thank you everyone for thinking of me. After meeting with the Dr I feel pretty good about starting another stim cycle immediately. Tonight I start estrace until I get AF and then we begin again with higher dose of gonal f and menopur. I didn't ask about the lupron trigger but I did see he ordered it again. I might wait to order that and ask about it at the first appointment. So 450 iu gonal f and 150 menopur...
@LadyMillil GL! @antoto Maybe try vistaprint? @Sailing_Mama@linzrunz@lulu1180 - I'm so sad that more and more people are moving over to this thread. @adirat I'm not sure what you do for work, but do you have an EAP? We have an anonymous program where we can reach out to a therapist and they put us in touch with a therapist for as many sessions as we need. Might be worth looking into? I'm so sorry you're going through this. @TravelingCouple good to hear that your trip was exactly what you and your H needed! @kiwi2628 fx for your pup @leekat14 positive vibes and hugs your way.
The bump ate most of my post... aaagghh. I gave love to all of you. I'm on mobile so I'm not typing it back up- but whatever you needed to hear today, imagine me typing it because that's exactly what I did. so much love to everyone.

You're bringing me a jar of nutella and paying for me to get a massage?? DEAL!
@leekat14 Maybe this is a new girl question but why are you on estrace until AF? Also really stupid question but is stimming just considered using injectable meds? If so, I did 2 stim cycles in a row the last 2 cycles. I was stimming for intercourse not IVF so it was kind of different but the first cycle I overstimmed (18 mature/almost mature follicles) and then the second cycle I got 1 follicle with 1 borderline. They didn't think there was an issue with going back to back stimming. Hopefully for you it will be the opposite of what it was for me and you'll go from your 2 follies this cycle to a glorious amount next cycle!
@madspunk My understanding is the estrace before is to gear up the pituitary gland to respond better when the IVF cycle starts. Dr was also not concerned about two cycles in a row, whatever made me comfortable. It would be the same for stimming for IUI or IVF. I understand that there are probably many reasons people don't do back to back but I don't know what they might be (I guess financial could be a big one)
Hey guys, just an update- Tuckers surgery went great! He is bruised and pitiful now, but I have him on some gooooood pain killers and he is mostly sleeping his surgery off. The biopsy will take 3-5 days so I have to wait for that, but thank you all so much for the good vibes!
@kiwi2628 so glad to hear his surgery went well! Hope he feels better soon! Btw love the name Tucker so adorable!!!
So I was thinking... *TW* so after our bat signal yesterday it and reading about some of the ladies on here dissatisfaction with some of the BMBs I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having a private group for IF graduates? Former and new ones moving forward that maybe could operate similar to a BMB but people would just be at different parts of their pregnancy or postpartum? Just throwing it out there as an idea. I just feel very close to all of you and consider you my friends and it would be nice for those who have moved on to still have a connection to the group past TTGP. Any thoughts about this are welcomed!
Hi ladies-so much love to all of you! Tried to do a brief skim to catch up because I know May was a big month for so many of you!
@leekat14 So sorry for the bum ER. I am thinking of you and know how disappointed you must be. Hopefully you can recharge over the long weekend and get ready for the new protocol.
@LadyMillil I am so happy for you and your 7 embies! GL today with the transfer! I will be thinking of you! You have waited so long for this! So happy for you that this day is finally here.
@adirat love to you girl. Life can really knock you down when you are already low. I get it.
@kiwi2628 Happy your pup's surgery went well! It is so stressful when your pet isn't well.
@TravelingCouple So glad Hawaii was the recharge you needed! It is a beautiful place!
Group hug love to all of you!

The bat signal worked perfectly! I never would have checked otherwise. I'm wondering if everyone yelling unicorn here kind of defeats the purpose, but its our first one so maybe we will be a little more subtle in the future.
While @ramzlau gets to work building our app I think we should all rate FF and suggest they upgrade the IVF features.

@laurad75 I think the kinks will definitely get worked out over time! But I'm glad it worked for everyone here to go check.
Also after @antoto mentioned that there were no good apps for IVF, I googled a bit and searched the app store. What I found on Google was pretty much things like FF and Glow. I did come across one called IVF Planner but noticed it wasn't in the app store (the article was a few years old, I think). I did, however, find one called fertility view; The exact name for anyone that may want to check it out is Fertility View - Fertility and IVF support, it's made by fertility council. However, it was on an iPhone and I'm not sure if it's also available for Android and I'm not sure that it's quite what you ladies are looking for. But I did want to let you know I found something small.

That is really interesting @beachbunnyxo123. It looks like theres a pg after 35 board, bur nit a pg after if...? Weird. I kniw alot of the bmbs have a pgal or paif or pail type checkin... that migt be a giod place to recruit? / gauge interest?
@kiwi2628 Happy to hear pup is all drugged up and doing well!
AFM: 10 CD Follie check this morning went well this morning. I have a 15mm follie on my right ovary, it was the ovary that she was worried might be PCOS, but seems the abx did there job of relieving pressure on that ovary it is finally looking normal again. *tw I am super stoked about this because it is the first time I have had a lead follie on my right ovary since my mc tw* It might the lucky ovary! Off the abx starting today, trigger on Monday and IUI Wednesday. So ready to get this show on the road!
Transfer done! They don't grade the embryos but Embaby was already hatching and the lab said it looked excellent. 4!!! Embabies are going to be frozen today. The last 2 are getting another day to grow in the lab but they are confident at least 1 will be high enough quality to freeze tomorrow. I'll get the final freeze report tomorrow morning.
I haven't really lurked there before today, but after what happened with my loss, I'm pretty sure if I get pregnant again I'd wait a while to join a bmb so I get it for sure.

IVF transfer is under the meds part of FF. However, nothing updates after putting in a transfer date so I also had to manually set O date as retrieval day

Ya right? ❤ @adirat like at what point in our IF do we get to put it behind us??? Be cured!
I know after ivf, DH and I are hoping to retain as much normalcy to the rest of the pregnancy as possible. Hopefully be, "Team Green," till delivery even, use a midwife etc. But no, you're pg after if? As if its the its the if that continues to define us and our pregancy - not the fact that we are pregnant and our journey to motherhood - just like anybody else!!!!
