AFM- this AM I had more monitoring. A bit of a DD below. Trying to remain optimistic here but it's hard not to compare to other people. So I'm on 5 days of stims and my right has a 14, two 11s and 3 that are smaller than 10. Left has an 11 and 4 that are smaller than 10. My doctor says it's still early, but I am feeling disappointed that there aren't more. I was kind of hoping for like 15 at this point, and more that are measurable. Maybe I'm being unrealistic and this is normal, but it's hard not to be like 'I only have 4 measurable'. I'm only 30! It just seems weird/sad/annoying to me. Anyway, my doctor is adding in ganirelix and an addl menopur and my next monitoring is saturday. Maybe it's a good sign they don't wanna see me till Saturday?
I'm o nly on mobile this week which I find incredibly frustrating... @BusinessWife thinking of you and hoping for the best!FX so hard for you today! @tamalahoops I hope you stick around here too! I want to hear about the rest of your journey to baby and even if thats not TTGP, i feel like you still belong here! @laurad75 wow! 35 eggs! Thats huge! Im psyched for You! @50Wife definitely no wrong answer! If it were me, i usually go with what the doctor says. But i would think ahead - unfortunately theres a good chance medicated IUI #3 won't work. If it doesn't would you wish you hadnt spent the money? Right now im on medicated cycle #7 before IVF, but if it doesnt work, it still will have been wort h it to me for this one last try. Theres a limit too how much id spend though.
adirat Super
sucks! I ditto that 2017 needs to be over!!!
darkstar42 Sorry
for the BFN after IUI. I can’t imagine. To put all that hope into medical
treatments and advancements and have them fall flat. Take care of yourself and
do something nice for you. Also, super glad you feel better about switching
doctors.
purplg8r I’ve
heard similar to what BusinessWife said
about RRL tea. I’ve heard it can trigger an early MC… but the research seems a
little shaky on it either way.
SkilledSailor Thanks.
I’m doing better… just waiting for AF now. *le sigh* Cool about the tile
cutter! I was asking cause I am going to attempt this mosaic stepping stone
thing for my memorial garden, so if you were like an expect mosaic/tile cutter
I was gonna ask for advice! Ha!
kiwi2628 Sorry
for the rough testing on stims day. Hopefully it’s just early! Super
frustrating to be right in the “normal” range to get PG and whatnot and be struggling
as much as we are. Fingers crossed that Saturday will be super good for you and
your measurables multiply like crazy!

Hey everyone! Feel like I'm super late to jump in here. Need to catch up with what is going on! Just want to tell everyone who is having a tough week this week hang in there and keep your heads up!!
Diagnosis (If you've been): MFI and Septate Uterus
Cycle/CD: 7/ i think CD 23
Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): Benched at the moment
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) NADA this cycle, then we do our ER, Surgery to remove septum should be late Dec/ early Jan FX and will find out how long i have to wait for my FET after surgery.
How are things going? Well waiting for SO to give his second SA ( had to put off twice between last week and this week bc out work ) so we can get authorization for the ICSI. Hes going tomorrow morning. She just told me that the authorization could take anywhere from 7- 10 business days so she will probably have to start me on BCP AF is suppose to show up on Dec5/6th I'm a little bummed but I suppose i did promise myself I would practice more patience so here's the perfect opportunity.
Any questions? Not right now
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? A new pair of Uggs my mother puppy tore my brand new one apart last year.
@laurad75 FREAKIN SO STOKED FOR YOU!!! @kiwi2628 CHEERING FOR YOUR OVARIES @emmasemm Sorry to hear what is going on @JuneRoseRuby LOVE me some NOLA!!! So jealous! And feel you on the mental break, been thinking about it myself @beachbunnyxo123 Sorry to hear about your issues with the RE @zwink1 YAY for your frosties!!! @50Wife Unfortunately I have to go straight to IVF and never even got a chance to do IUI but i agree with everyone else.. its def a personal decision that being said the chances are much higher with IVF @BusinessWife Thinking of you today!!!
Today my HCG was at 4.4. Less than 5, so I can stop the meds and come back Monday to make sure it's at zero... my nurse already started talking with Financial about starting our next transfer cycle whe never I get AF. She said it could take a few days since my progesterone was at 28, but then I'll come in for CD1 and we should be off and running again.
It is obviously heartbreaking... But I am trying to focus in the positive, and it's also as close to getting our first baby as we've ever been! I do feel strangely grateful for that oh so sweet taste of pregnancy, ...if perhaps made bittersweet in retrospect I suppose... sigh.
I hope you'll understand too, if you don't see too much from me for a few days/weeks, at least until were getting closer to something happening again. I don't know if I will be able to get to the same excitement level though, or if this experience may have made me a bit callous or something to the process...? idk. Even if I'm feeling a bit numb right now, I do hope that will start to fade and give way to a renewed hopeful promise of the next transfer! But right now, I'm just not feeling much of anything, tbh.

@darkstar42 They kept me the same for my back to back IUIs. Although my first I over stimmed and was canceled, and my second, I was in the ball park but failed, so for this third, they kept me on the same dose as my second. I go in on Friday for BW and US to see what I ended up with. Sorry for the BFN, it isn't ever easy.
@laurad75 I am so excited for you! What great results. It's finally your time!!!

@Redpuma119 SLC. In Highland. You? I also have a cousin that lives somewhere else in Utah, but is there even any other big city in Utah besides SLC?! Ha, I haven't heard of any, and obviously I need to take some time looking at a map.

Hey everyone! Feel like I'm super late to jump in here. Need to catch up with what is going on! Just want to tell everyone who is having a tough week this week hang in there and keep your heads up!!
Diagnosis (If you've been): MFI and Septate Uterus
Cycle/CD: 7/ i think CD 23
Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): Benched at the moment
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?) NADA this cycle, then we do our ER, Surgery to remove septum should be late Dec/ early Jan FX and will find out how long i have to wait for my FET after surgery.
How are things going? Well waiting for SO to give his second SA ( had to put off twice between last week and this week bc out work ) so we can get authorization for the ICSI. Hes going tomorrow morning. She just told me that the authorization could take anywhere from 7- 10 business days so she will probably have to start me on BCP AF is suppose to show up on Dec5/6th I'm a little bummed but I suppose i did promise myself I would practice more patience so here's the perfect opportunity.
Any questions? Not right now
GTKY: What's on your Christmas list? A new pair of Uggs my mother puppy tore my brand new one apart last year.
@laurad75 woohoo!!! That’s awesome!
@kiwi2628 it’s still early!!! Do they have any idea of about when they plan to do the retrieval?
@kiwi2628 CHEERING FOR YOUR OVARIES
@emmasemm Sorry to hear what is going on
@JuneRoseRuby LOVE me some NOLA!!! So jealous! And feel you on the mental break, been thinking about it myself
@beachbunnyxo123 Sorry to hear about your issues with the RE
@zwink1 YAY for your frosties!!!
@50Wife Unfortunately I have to go straight to IVF and never even got a chance to do IUI but i agree with everyone else.. its def a personal decision that being said the chances are much higher with IVF
@BusinessWife Thinking of you today!!!
Today my HCG was at 4.4. Less than 5, so I can stop the meds and come back Monday to make sure it's at zero... my nurse already started talking with Financial about starting our next transfer cycle whe never I get AF. She said it could take a few days since my progesterone was at 28, but then I'll come in for CD1 and we should be off and running again.
It is obviously heartbreaking... But I am trying to focus in the positive, and it's also as close to getting our first baby as we've ever been! I do feel strangely grateful for that oh so sweet taste of pregnancy, ...if perhaps made bittersweet in retrospect I suppose... sigh.
I hope you'll understand too, if you don't see too much from me for a few days/weeks, at least until were getting closer to something happening again. I don't know if I will be able to get to the same excitement level though, or if this experience may have made me a bit callous or something to the process...? idk. Even if I'm feeling a bit numb right now, I do hope that will start to fade and give way to a renewed hopeful promise of the next transfer! But right now, I'm just not feeling much of anything, tbh.
I am so sorry @BusinessWife Take care of yourself, feel all the feels you need to feel.

@laurad75 I am so excited for you! What great results. It's finally your time!!!
@adirat I am making a "fuck 2017" shirt for New Years Eve. You can join if you'd like I really hope the results are benign and it doesn't interfere with your FET
@Redpuma119 SLC. In Highland. You? I also have a cousin that lives somewhere else in Utah, but is there even any other big city in Utah besides SLC?! Ha, I haven't heard of any, and obviously I need to take some time looking at a map.
@Avrilmai I am staying in the French Quarter. MH has been researching all the food places to go! He also found that it is Christmas tradition in NOLA to have massive bonfires on the beach.... so that is on our to do list!
