@Hopeful_mom so sorry you aren’t feeling well but I hope the little bean is getting nice and comfy in there.
I’ve never seen Being Mary Jane but you would think with her experience she would get some input and try to represent it properly. Maybe it was all she could do to make IF part of the storyline at all.
@tnh0413 Hoping for a miracle for you but if not I hope you can move on quickly. Let us know how it goes on Monday.
@tnh0413 Still hoping you have a miracle! Let us know the results for tomorrow!
My TTC journey:
Me and DH: 30-35 Unexplained infertility TTC #1 since 2015 11/2015 - BFP! 12/2015 - MC IVF #1 July 2017 freeze all (20 eggs, 15 mature, 10 fert, 6 blasts, 4 PGS normal) FET #1 TBD Surprise BFP 9/2017 while waiting for FET... hoping for the best!
My nurse called and confirmed the beta dropped from 12. So at least we finally know for sure and I can stop the meds. i ripped that patch off my stomach as soon as I hung up the phone with her LOL. Kind of liberating not gonna lie
Me 30 DH: 31 Married for 7 years Dx: MFI TTC since 2016 August 2017: IVF #1 (11 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 3 fertilized with ICIS, 2 Frozen) FET #1: October 11th -- Beta only 12. CP FET #2: January 12th -- BFP!
@tnh0413 I would've done exactly the same. Crossing everything for your next transfer!

@tnh0413 So sorry about the beta. :( but hurrah for liberation! I hope the holidays will bring better news for you next time!!! (((Hugs)))
OMG I CAN LOVE-TIT AND COMMENT!!! I missed you ladies! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@Hopeful_mom Hope things start to balance out and you're feeling better soon! Always nice to see your updates :)
@helloworld9 so weird the differences between the re/ob. I am a little bit dreading that part, and hoping the ob/midwife I found close by are a good fit! :#
AFM - Polypectomy was a success! Although I have had very light spotting ever since, which I told DH was probably normal, since it's definitely nothing heavy, and he still wants me to call and tell someone. Sigh. I just called the nurse yesterday because my FET meds are coming today, all except the PIO, and she said not to worry since we don't need to have it till November, and they will most likely get it back in stock in time. So I hate to call her again two days in a row with basically nothing. :/ Pathology report comes back Friday, last BCP was this morning (!) and then I go in Saturday for baselines. Transfer Day is just 24 days away!!! I'm so hopeful and excited for good news ahead.... although cautiously so bc I know there are no guarantees. But there is a Thanksgiving onesie. :# not sure if I would turn a test enough at 6dp5dt to have a cute reveal that morning for DH, but that's the hope.
@BusinessWife that’s wonderful to hear!! 24 days is nothing! I hope you get a BFP to make the turkey day even more exciting! FX for your upcoming FET and I’m glad your surgery went well!
Me 30 DH: 31 Married for 7 years Dx: MFI TTC since 2016 August 2017: IVF #1 (11 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 3 fertilized with ICIS, 2 Frozen) FET #1: October 11th -- Beta only 12. CP FET #2: January 12th -- BFP!
@BusinessWife Oooo how exciting! Less than a month away! I hope with the turn of the season that lady luck shines upon you.
I feel like OBs are constantly churning pregnant patients! A different kind of cattle call. I chose one near work and who is a woman and with good online reviews. I didn't have one I was seeing regularly because I've moved around so much in the past years.
AFM tw pregnancy
I supposedly had my last RE appointment this morning. As I walked in, the receptionist said I needed to pay $150 for this appointment. Befuddled, I was like hmmm I thought all of these were already paid for (out of the $13K I had already paid over the summer!) but apparently I had used up all of my credit! I said I probably don't need the appointment then (because I need the money for the OB). They confirmed with the nurses that I'm fine without one. So I officially graduated without meaning to! I figured most people have already graduated from the RE by now and I'm already 12w... I might cave and buy a doppler. A month in between appointments is brutal.

yay for graduating funny how u found out I also need to find a new OB I'm trying to do research but I'm getting no where fast! Luckily I know a few nurses that work in one of the hospitals I wan to use so im gonna see what they have to say. Amazing how this is all such a process. I know u previously mentioned u don't have sickness, be happy and enjoy it!!! AFM: I don't know why on earth they call it morning sickness when it's ALL DAY sickness! I try to catch up on here and after I read a post i feel Sicker! Oddly chewing mint gum has helped me at times. It's 3am and I'll be so sick not knowing what else to do and the gum actually helped me.
I do get nervous with any zing or pains I get but since I still feel so sick I guess my pnut is ok. Excited to make sure on Friday!!
@tnh0413 sending u hugs! Hope u enjoyed that wine and looking forward to hearing good news from u soon!!!
im sorry I still can't get caught up on the other boards but I believe some FETs should be coming up for some of u soon?? @funkykey@tinjp78
@safire3 If I never went through IF I never would've been the wiser to it so it's funny how annoyed I was watching the show!!! I feel for her nonetheless and glad it was part of the story line. It comes back next season to wrap up the series so we'll see if it's a happy ending

@Hopeful_mom - so glad you are doing well!!! I'm waiting for an FET sometime between Nov 9-12. Just taking estrogen now. I'm nervous, scared and excited all at once!
@BusinessWife Congratulations on the polypectomy! Phew--one less thing to worry about and now your wait is over. I'm so excited for you! I love the Thanksgiving onesie idea. I really hope you get to do it.
So excited for your next u/s! And it's so weird for me not to have any symptoms... on one hand I'm really glad but on the other I have no "feeling" of being pregnant. I wonder, am I still pregnant? I have three weeks to go for my next OB appointment... If there's any sign of pregnancy, it's my erupting forehead with zits I haven't seen since high school!
@funkykey Your FET is coming up soon! Crossing everything for you!
@Bababatty Thanks!! Your FET is next week, so crazy! I'm crossing everything for you!
Off topic, but this advice column has got me so angered! What horrid advice and a horrible comparison. I'm linking it here but reader beware.
Me and DH: 30-35 Unexplained infertility TTC #1 since 2015 11/2015 - BFP! 12/2015 - MC IVF #1 July 2017 freeze all (20 eggs, 15 mature, 10 fert, 6 blasts, 4 PGS normal) FET #1 TBD Surprise BFP 9/2017 while waiting for FET... hoping for the best!
@helloworld9. Wow. I can get with her saying to be honest with them and see if it helps bring out a meaningful / possibly healing conversation, but holy abrupt and just, "suck-it-up, buttercup!" Truly spoken like someone who never experienced IF, and not a fair comparison. At all.
In reality, it's part of the nature of life and natural progression of life in Earth that our parents get older... the roles may shift if/ when a child eventually takes care of elderly parent, and ultimately they pass on, leaving their adult children to become more mature grownups, and hopefully also parents themselves. Who will one day grow old and die, again - hopefully ahead of their children. That's life.
IF is most definitely not part of the, "natural order of things," imho. It is decidedly unnatural, foreign, abrupt - a slamming on of the proverbial brakes of the course of our lives as maturing adults - an interruption of the progression of the rest of our whole lives (and cosmic evolution, if you believe in that sort of thing.) Which may or may not have a happy ending. Which may or may not mean carrying a lifetime of soul-scars in its wake.
I'm #sorrynotsorry, but comparing it to having lost one's parents is. NOT. Apt. At all. Not even a little bit comparable. What a freaking dolt. (Excuse my French.) o:)
It was very fun, everyone was shocked and there were a lot of happy tears. My mom's face went from happy to receive her favorite wine, to a stunned "Are you serious??" look once she read the whole label. It was awesome It feels good to have the secret OUT I'm no good at keeping secrets. I just need to tell a few more friends, and then DH's work officially. We won't be making a facebook announcement, but my mom is begging me to let her post pictures of the wine bottle label. Sheeshhh why does everything have to go on social media these days?

Oh @ReesaAnne16 so sweet! Happy tears here just picturing that moment for your mom!!! Yay! That is exactly what it's ALL about. ❤
@Hopeful_mom Thank you!!! Yes, we are getting so close! DH is actually entertaining a little more conversation about like, furniture choices and getting the house set up and organized... i.e. our mattress is still on the floor, we basically just use open wire shelving for all our clothes, so we would want to get a platform bed and matching dresser/armoires whatever for our bedroom, had always planned on having a minicrib in our room for baby as well, and then now working out the details of the guestroom/nursery/playroom space across the hall. So I do appreciate that he's able to discuss some of that now, at least in small doses. ;)
I also started our registry!!!! Babylist lets you keep it private until you're ready to go public with it, as well as pick items from anywhere on the internet, not just BRU or BBB or Target or wherever. So that's nice, bc I have literally had things like our carseats/stroller, mobile etc. picked out for a year and a half lol so it's nice to finally see that stuff coming together in one place... *typos
@BusinessWife I LOVE babylist! I started one probably 2 years ago, and have been slowing adding to it. It's fun to finally narrow down what we want AND be able to ask family and friends for advice on products now that everyone knows.
Praying hard for you and counting down the days until your FET with you!!

@BusinessWife Well thought out response! I think the better comparison is someone who is diagnosed with cancer. Especially in the prime of their life. Who would dare be so insensitive to cancer patients?
And we are on the same page when it comes to an unfurnished place! A full size mattress and box spring on the floor, a hand me down dresser, you name it. Just waiting when we finally save up enough for a house next spring.
@Hopeful_mom Wonderful ultrasound! Looks like it's perfectly on track.

@helloworld9 - I've been thinking a lot about that advice column. I agree with @BusinessWife - I don't think it's a fair comparison either. Like, losing your parents is tough, yes - but it's not the same as IF.
I also think Amy's response was abrupt, and didn't show much compassion for the couple. Saying something like: "A mature adult learns to process sadness and tolerate discomfort, and not punish others for it." while true, indicates that she expects there to be a timeline for their grief, and shows little empathy for the couple's suffering.
A better response would be a kinder one, one that encourages the young couple to be patient with the obviously still grieving older couple.
Can I just say how impressed I am with all of you that have a lists and I just so prepared my hats off to you. I think when I started to get into the swing of things last time if things went so badly that I'm just terrified to do anything and looking at the computer screen for more than five minutes makes me even sicker so that kind of put things on hold right now too.
I'm pretty sure some transfers should be happening tomorrow and I just want to wish you all the luck in the world and send you super sticky vibes @funkykey can't wait till your PUPO @Bababatty
I had way more spotting then I cared to see today and emailed my doctor right away! he was kind enough to squeeze me in today which I was so thankful for! Baby thank g-d is doing great and measuring a day ahead! He did see some blood outside and called it a placenta clot if u will. I'm glad to at least know where the blood is coming from and it's still in there so I shall still have some spotting. Scary nonetheless but still relieved at least to know where it's coming from. He explained that the placenta is doing its job correctly and sometimes there's extra blood that comes out when the placenta is doing its thing and blood can develop but usually gets absorbed into the body but this time it's just making a clot I guess outside and that's where it's coming from.
I did have a bit of a meltdown and he was very sweet! He knows it's getting closer to the time I MC last time and that we need to take precautions which I appreciate!!

@Hopeful_mom I'm really glad you got to know the cause of that spotting. I am also hanging on to my seat as I read your update. I really hope and pray everything would be all ok.
@Hopeful_mom I'm so happy things are ok! And it's better to be sure than left in the dark. I'm glad your RE got you in to check up on it. I've heard of SCH which I think is a clot so that might be the term for it. I think it's common! My next appointment is in two weeks and I feel like time is crawling until I get there.

I know it's kind of surreal. I've been waiting so long for pregnancy, and when it finally happened I feel like time goes slow and fast, at the same time? I would be counting down days until I reached the second trimester just hoping everything is still alright. And now a new countdown for each appointment. Kind of excited that next week my husband says he will come with me to my appt! He will finally see what I've seen in real time. No cravings for me but I've been kind of liberal with the junk food. I need to stop. Sugary cokes, cookies, fries, chips, pizza... but I tell myself I need to gain weight anyway! I have terrible acne on my forehead and tons of gas. I would accidentally fart around coworkers! So embarrassing. But I would take that any day over nausea.
You should be approaching 2nd trimester soon too! And you don't have any more appointments until you find an OB? I used Google and my insurance website a lot when finding mine and I was a bit picky because I wanted a woman. My RE was an old man but I didn't have a choice really. Even if you find out the OB wasn't a good fit, you can always change.

@Hopeful_mom - I am getting so excited! I'm going to transfer on 11/13. How are you doing?
I'm so excited that you are on ur countdown to transfer yay!!!! I know it feels like forever but at least it's still 2017 throughout the procedure went perfectly and you're already to go!
Pregnancy mentioned
To be honest I feel guilty complaining that I'm so sick and nauseous all the time when all we are hoping for is to finally become pregnant and get there but it's rough it's definitely rough. This past week was scary just with the light spotting that I had and trying to get past the time that I had miscarried so it's just been hard. You pray each sharp pain you feel is it something terrible happening. Tomorrow I'll be 10 weeks which is very exciting because that's double digits so I am hoping that once I have my second trimester I'll start to feel some relief!! I'm still waiting for all of us to become bump buddies!!! What's your FET protocol are you doing Pio?

I'm thrilled to hear that you're having such a great pregnancy! I'm trying to stay positive and think to myself that once I get through with this one that there's a possibility i can have another one and maybe I don't have to feel like that every time!
i'm still nervous and scared every second of the day but I'm just happy each day that I get father a long! This week was hard trying to get over the hump of when I had miscarried the twins last time so I'm trying to stay positive that all will be OK. I'm now 10 weeks and my RE understood that we wanted to get past where I was last time so I still have another appointment with them next week. I literally miscarried the day I graduated from the clinic last time so I'm still Hella nervous but trying to just get through.
Because I feel like such crap it is hard to research and find that perfect OB that takes my insurance but for now I did take some suggestions from my clinic and have tried to narrow it down and will probably make appointments with at least two so that I can see who I'll feel more comfortable with.... now I just have to make the actual appointments but one day at a time
Lucky you that you need to gain weight and jealous! I gained enough weight through IVF alone that it's OK the few pounds that I am losing. I have crazy indigestion already whether I eat or don't do you have that at all?
Are you starting to feel movement? Right now if I sneeze too hard I get a crazy zing pain and it freaks me out so I just can't wait to get to the point to actually feel the baby moving!!

@Hopeful_mom Just hanging out, losing willpower to not POAS. My beta is Monday. Will definitely be POAS before then if only so I’m prepared, since it’s a work day.
Re: Anyone doing IVF in July/August?
I’ve never seen Being Mary Jane but you would think with her experience she would get some input and try to represent it properly. Maybe it was all she could do to make IF part of the storyline at all.
@tnh0413 Hoping for a miracle for you but if not I hope you can move on quickly. Let us know how it goes on Monday.
@tnh0413 Still hoping you have a miracle! Let us know the results for tomorrow!

I feel like OBs are constantly churning pregnant patients! A different kind of cattle call. I chose one near work and who is a woman and with good online reviews. I didn't have one I was seeing regularly because I've moved around so much in the past years.

In reality, it's part of the nature of life and natural progression of life in Earth that our parents get older... the roles may shift if/ when a child eventually takes care of elderly parent, and ultimately they pass on, leaving their adult children to become more mature grownups, and hopefully also parents themselves. Who will one day grow old and die, again - hopefully ahead of their children. That's life.
IF is most definitely not part of the, "natural order of things," imho. It is decidedly unnatural, foreign, abrupt - a slamming on of the proverbial brakes of the course of our lives as maturing adults - an interruption of the progression of the rest of our whole lives (and cosmic evolution, if you believe in that sort of thing.) Which may or may not have a happy ending. Which may or may not mean carrying a lifetime of soul-scars in its wake.
I'm #sorrynotsorry, but comparing it to having lost one's parents is. NOT. Apt. At all. Not even a little bit comparable. What a freaking dolt. (Excuse my French.) o:)
We won't be making a facebook announcement, but my mom is begging me to let her post pictures of the wine bottle label. Sheeshhh why does everything have to go on social media these days?

@Hopeful_mom Thank you!!! Yes, we are getting so close! DH is actually entertaining a little more conversation about like, furniture choices and getting the house set up and organized... i.e. our mattress is still on the floor, we basically just use open wire shelving for all our clothes, so we would want to get a platform bed and matching dresser/armoires whatever for our bedroom, had always planned on having a minicrib in our room for baby as well, and then now working out the details of the guestroom/nursery/playroom space across the hall. So I do appreciate that he's able to discuss some of that now, at least in small doses. ;)
I also started our registry!!!! Babylist lets you keep it private until you're ready to go public with it, as well as pick items from anywhere on the internet, not just BRU or BBB or Target or wherever. So that's nice, bc I have literally had things like our carseats/stroller, mobile etc. picked out for a year and a half lol so it's nice to finally see that stuff coming together in one place...
*typos
Praying hard for you and counting down the days until your FET with you!!

I also think Amy's response was abrupt, and didn't show much compassion for the couple. Saying something like: "A mature adult learns to process sadness and tolerate discomfort, and not punish others for it." while true, indicates that she expects there to be a timeline for their grief, and shows little empathy for the couple's suffering.
A better response would be a kinder one, one that encourages the young couple to be patient with the obviously still grieving older couple.
I'm pretty sure some transfers should be happening tomorrow and I just want to wish you all the luck in the world and send you super sticky vibes @funkykey can't wait till your PUPO @Bababatty

How are you doing?
@Hopeful_mom
You should be approaching 2nd trimester soon too! And you don't have any more appointments until you find an OB? I used Google and my insurance website a lot when finding mine and I was a bit picky because I wanted a woman. My RE was an old man but I didn't have a choice really. Even if you find out the OB wasn't a good fit, you can always change.
Unexplained infertility
TTC #1 since 2015
11/2015 - BFP! 12/2015 - MC
IVF #1 July 2017 freeze all (20 eggs, 15 mature, 10 fert, 6 blasts, 4 PGS normal)
FET #1 TBD Surprise BFP 9/2017 while waiting for FET... hoping for the best!
Pregnancy mentioned
This past week was scary just with the light spotting that I had and trying to get past the time that I had miscarried so it's just been hard. You pray each sharp pain you feel is it something terrible happening. Tomorrow I'll be 10 weeks which is very exciting because that's double digits so I am hoping that once I have my second trimester I'll start to feel some relief!! I'm still waiting for all of us to become bump buddies!!!

i'm still nervous and scared every second of the day but I'm just happy each day that I get father a long! This week was hard trying to get over the hump of when I had miscarried the twins last time so I'm trying to stay positive that all will be OK. I'm now 10 weeks and my RE understood that we wanted to get past where I was last time so I still have another appointment with them next week. I literally miscarried the day I graduated from the clinic last time so I'm still Hella nervous but trying to just get through.
Because I feel like such crap it is hard to research and find that perfect OB that takes my insurance but for now I did take some suggestions from my clinic and have tried to narrow it down and will probably make appointments with at least two so that I can see who I'll feel more comfortable with.... now I just have to make the actual appointments but one day at a time
Lucky you that you need to gain weight and jealous! I gained enough weight through IVF alone that it's OK the few pounds that I am losing. I have crazy indigestion already whether I eat or don't do you have that at all?
Are you starting to feel movement? Right now if I sneeze too hard I get a crazy zing pain and it freaks me out so I just can't wait to get to the point to actually feel the baby moving!!
