  • 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!

    Surgery for endometriosis January 2024
    Lupron Depo March 2024.  Benched 3 months.  Hopefully FET after that.

  • @darkstar42 I'm so sorry about the bfn, but I'm really glad to hear that the new RE is listening and helping you feel valued as a patient. 
    @adirat I so hope this is nothing. Always thinking of you. I certainly hope that you can move forward soon. 
    @BusinessWife thinking of you. 
    @SkilledSailor how are you feeling now that you have a plan?
    @kiwi2628 I know it is so hard to not compare yourself to others, remember everybody is different and every body is different. I think it is a good sign that you have some growing and they don't want to see you until Saturday. FX for you.

  •  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.
