GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken?
Utah/Arizona canyon tour. I'm very fair, and thought I would hate being in the heat for so long, but it was absolutely beautiful. It was so affordable that I didn't have to stress about money like other vacations, and the shear amount of hikes we were able to fit into a week Zion, Bryce, arches, and the Grand Canyon. I have done it twice now, and hope to take my new camper there for a month or two.
Upcoming testing/appointments:
I go tomorrow to get my 2nd beta to make sure the levels double. Anxious
Rants/raves/questions:
Seems like there may be a strong PAIF presence here, that's great!
GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken?
I really enjoyed road tripping to Alaska with my grandparents.

Upcoming testing/appointments: Last beta draw tomorrow, then they'll schedule ultrasound
Rants/raves/questions: Rant: All of the waiting and I second @heatherdubrow on the PIO.
GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken? Scotland/London with my hubby - it's where we got engaged
Upcoming testing/appointments: First ultrasound is scheduled for July 13th. I have no idea how I will stay sane that long with PGAL brain.
Rants/raves/questions: I feel like I am legit going crazy with symptom checking/obsessing. I woke up this morning with ZERO symptoms, although my mild cramping is back now. But my boobs don't really hurt all that much - only since my doctor put me back on the progesterone supps (I went off them because I thought I started AF and found out at my CD 3 blood work that my beta was +, after I just bought $1000 worth of Gonal F.......). But seriously, I keep squeezing my boobs, and checking for bleeding, and trying to feel any little thing that will give me an indication that I'm still pregnant. I need to chill but I don't know how. PAIF/PGAL is such a mindf*ck.
GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken?
I did England and France for a month with my family when I was in high school and that was a really awesome trip. I also did a school trip to Spain, France, Monaco, and Italy when I was 17 which really gave me the travel bug. We're doing a European vacation next summer so I'm having a lot of fun planning that (hopefully I'll be carting around a little one in my Moby)!

Upcoming testing/appointments:
Repeat beta Mon 7/10 (first beta was done Fri 7/7)
Rants/raves/questions:
This is my 2nd (daughter is 19 mos), but I forgot how nerve wracking the early days are! Anxious to get the 2nd beta done, and then my RE said they'd do an ultrasound at about 6.5 weeks (4w5d today)
GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken?
Mexico for my husband's 30th! Mine is this fall and we were going to go back to the same resort... but not anymore! Damn Zika
@Cowboycorgi I love AZ/southern UT! My MIL lives right by Zion and we visit there a lot.
@missydallas How was your beta?
@baybeesunflower Great news about your second beta! FX for a continued rise.
Diagnosis: NIR PCOS. Got my BFP about a week ago from a medicated IUI (Clomid + trigger).
Upcoming testing/appointments: 7 week u/s with RE on 7/26 to check for heartbeat(s) and multiples.
Rants/raves/questions: I've never been KU before, so my head is spinning just trying to learn everything while simultaneously trying not to panic about not knowing whether this'll stick. I was so focused on IF that now that I'm here I need to learn all the things at once. I feel super lucky to be here--got KU on my very first medicated IUI. I also feel lucky that I get that first u/s through the RE at 7 weeks instead of 12 because I'd seriously lose my mind waiting an additional 5 weeks to know if things are on the right track.
GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken? MH and I traveled around Italy for a few weeks toward the end of college, way before we were married, and we had an awesome time.
Our 8 week check is for heartbeat and multiples as well. I can't stop thinking if there's one or two in there!
Upcoming testing/appointments: first ultrasound Friday at 6 weeks to check for heartbeat
Rants/raves/questions: these cramps are terrible! My February transfer of a Pgs/pgd normal 6AA embryo failed and I had a ton of cramping. I know cramping can be "normal" in early pregnancy but it's still driving my anxiety!
GTKY: What is you're favorite trip you've ever taken? I'd have to say when my husband and I went to Aruba! Everyone is so friendly and I liked how small it was - the drinks weren't bad either
@ivfgotthistwice I feel you on the cramping--it's my major symptom right now and I'm constantly checking toilet paper for AF because I still don't totally believe this yet. Hopefully your cramping is nothing to worry about. FX for friday--that's coming up pretty soon!

@vflux33 I am doing the same! I check for AF EVERY TIME! I just need to see the heart beat Friday so I can get semi normal.... that is until I have to wait for the next ultrasound
Unexplained - We got a BFP after our first IVF fresh transfer.
Upcoming testing/appointments: Wednesday is my 2nd beta . We have 3 embabies that made it to biopsy and freeze. No results on those yet.
Rants/raves/questions: Nervous that this embaby was not tested.
So jealous of everyone who go to transfer two! Stupid insurance said single only. Blah.
GTKY: What is your favorite trip you've ever taken? Last year we went on a two week honeymoon to Hawaii. Would do that again in a heart beat
@vflux33 Every tine I go to the bathroom I check for AF. Every time I feel anything I check.
