Took a body pump class this morning and it made me feel so much better! It's the first time I've felt motivated to work out in awhile.

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat?
Usually I love drinking wine on patios in the evening...but obviously that's not happening. We've been staying inside a lot this summer, it's so hot!!

[Deleted User] · July 2017

Diagnosis: NIR PCOS

Upcoming testing/appointments: I am currently at my second beta appt.

Rants/raves/questions:I'm just really nervous. Hope baby girl is still good! I wonder if I will even not feel nervous.

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat?well I'm in Arizona so I pretty much avoid being outside ever.

GG620 · July 2017

Diagnosis: MFI (low count & morph) and mild PCOS

Upcoming testing/appointments: First U/S on Wednesday! I am so, so nervous and excited. Can today and Tuesday please just fly by

Rants/raves/questions: I am so jealous of you @heatherdubrow. I have zero energy and can only ever think about my next nap. I am really hoping I get some semblance of energy back soon so I can at least get my butt off the couch! ha

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat
I usually love the beach and the pool, but it has been so hot and I have been feeling so bleh that I just sit inside in the AC. Plus, hubs is trying to catch up on GoT (he decided this as 8:59 pm last Sunday night grrrrrr) and I have been watching with him so netflix and chill all day lol

@antoto I don't even understand how people live in AZ lol

Oh sheeeeet. My first beta was 524 and my second today was 1432!!

I mean... I'm pretty sure there's only one in there...

I have my first ultrasound next Wednesday afternoon!

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@antoto great second beta!!

kiki75 · July 2017

Yay @antoto ! I've been waiting to see your results! That's awesome. It's not unheard of in IVF to get identical twins!

Diagnosis: Unexplained

Upcoming testing/appointments: First US tomorrow.

Rants/raves/questions: I'm just so dang nervous for tomorrow. I can't even focus on anything else. I'm sure I'll sleep like crap tonight. I already had a dream about it last night. We were taken back into the US room, which was HUGE, like classroom sized. Then I decided I needed to go to the bathroom. I got super lost finding it and then I got super lost on my way back. Apparently my RE's office is now in a gigantic building that also houses a school and something else and has a giant white plastic covered indoor hill I had to go up. Never did get to the US part. So idk how that part goes.

Also, *TMI* I think I may be developing something due to the progesterone suppositories. Nothing is itchy or burns but there's been some slight new type of swamp. I'll be glad to get to ask about it tomorrow.

I've never had anything before. Ugh.

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat? I love eating outside! H hates it at restaurants because so many people still smoke within scent range but he does it for me.

Frankly, it hasn't been anywhere nearly hot enough here for my tastes so we haven't done a lot of heat beating. I did get the dog a kiddie pool which is pretty cute, though. And our AC is broken at work so if I'm at work on Wednesday and it still isn't fixed, I'm definitely spending the afternoon working from Starbucks. My side of the building gets roasty.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@kiki75 good luck tomorrow

SP128 · July 2017

@kiki75 Good luck tomorrow!!!!

@heatherdubrow Jealous that you get to work out. Per my Re: Low intensity workouts like walking, swimming, yoga or spinning while staying seated only. He had me stop my regular running and zumba ( I assumed because of the bouncing) since I started stimming. GL with ultrasound tomorrow.

@antoto Beautiful rise : )

@GG620 Wednesday is almost here! Good luck.

Diagnosis: Unexplained Infertility

Upcoming testing/appointments: First ultrasound isn't until 7/31. I'll be 7 wks and 2 days. I'm just nervous about it due to PGAL brain. In a way, I'm super nervous because I'm afraid that the us will bring bad news. Without the us, at least I have some hope. Does that even make sense?

Rants/raves/questions: My appetite has been a mess since starting IVF. It got better. For the last couple of weeks nothing sounds too good.

My PGS results came back. Out of 3 tested, 2 are normal. I have a 6BB and 3BB frozen.

I'm nervous that my egg quality is no good. I can't help but think that. The doc retrieved 13 eggs, 12 fertilized and only 4 made it to blast.

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat? Eat ice cream and popsicles. Be lazy.

ivfgotthistwice · July 2017

Diagnosis: sperm motility

Upcoming testing/appointments:
it was today! Heartbeat is 165!

Rants/raves/questions:
My graduation is next Friday. Did anyone get their ivf nurse a gift? Normally I wouldn't but this is our second ivf baby and she's been my nurse the entire time. After my failed transfer I got her a bottle of wine and a card that said "here's some wine for listening to me whine" I want to get her something as a thank you but am clueless and Pinterest isn't helping

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat?
I love sitting on the beach at night when it's quiet and breezy.

kiki75 · July 2017

@SP128 I'm not an IVF expert but I think that's a fairly normal attrition rate. Which still sucks. It's just not a worrisome suck.

ivfgotthistwice · July 2017

@antoto amazing numbers!

@GG620 just a couple more days!!!!

@heatherdubrow how you found energy to do that makes me tired just reading! Side note: I miss heather on OC but so happy Megan is still there! Love seeing baby Aspen!

lexidawg · July 2017

@heatherdubrow Good luck tomorrow at the OB!
@antoto Awesome second beta!!!
@GG620 Good luck at your appointment Wednesday! I hope the days fly!
@kiki75 Good luck tomorrow!
@SP128 Makes total sense to me about having hope before the ultrasound. I have everything crossed for you.

Diagnosis: POF

Upcoming testing/appointments: I got my Friday blood work results today and while my HCG increased as expected, progesterone went from 29 to 17. My RE said it was fine and in range and that I don't need to supplement and that I didn't need to test again until I went in for my heartbeat ultrasound next Monday. I called back freaking out about the drop and saying I was worried that it would continue to drop so I am going in tomorrow to be retested.

Rants/raves/questions: Im exhausted beyond belief today. My inconsistent symptoms are driving me nuts. I know it's crazy but I want symptoms so I know everything is going well.

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity / how are you beating the heat? Hanging out at the pool with my family. Spending lots of time in air conditioning, although it's actually chilly in NYC tonight.

SP128 · July 2017

@alana0613 I'm in Boston bumping with long PJ pants and a fleece robe.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@SP128 it's crazy how different the recommendations can be from different REs. Mine encourages exercise!

@ivfgotthistwice omg I miss her too!
