IF testing and treatment- week of 1/29

beachbunnyxo123 · January 2018

This is a place for those of us who have already started TTC, but have started infertility testing and/or treatments. You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on infertility. TTC can be a long journey naturally, then add in the difficulties associated with infertility, and it becomes a whole new ball game. The road to infertility can be lonely, frustrating, and complicated, so let's make this a place where we can vent, ask questions, and support one another. Feel free to resurrect this thread at any point in the week if you have something to say. Treat this as an ongoing conversation.

Diagnosis (if you've been):

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA):

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?):

How are things going?:

Any questions?:

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed?

elothair · January 2018

Diagnosis (if you've been): Secondary IF, but still waiting to find out why.

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Testing - I have my ultrasound coming up next week and then bloodwork with the next cycle.

How are things going?: Ok - I hate the waiting. And this cycle is already being wonky - the month I finally decide to give up temping to relieve some stress of course my body does weird things! I still haven't gotten a positive OPK and usually do starting on day 16 or 17 - I am on day 19 now and they are still pretty white (and mine usually darken up for a few days before getting positive). My O has 3 more days to happen or I lose my chance at bloodwork for the next cycle as I will be away on a work trip for 2 weeks and I would be leaving before day 3. And I just want answers!

Any questions?: Not this week!

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? So far probably Disneyland! But I have a feeling after my upcoming work trip that answer may change as I will be going to Vienna, London, and Edinburgh and they all look amazing!

jrm_14 · January 2018

Diagnosis (if you've been): Low progesterone, borderline-low AMH, ovarian/adrenal insufficiency, autoimmune stuff

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): IUI w/ injectables 1/23/18. Betas 2/2/18 & 2/5/18

How are things going?: All the feeings have hit me. I’ve been in an especially awful mood the past 48hours. I also didn’t realize I’d have weekly appointments with the RE until 10weeks, once/if ART is successful. I legitimately have no time off work left for weekly appointments. I’m in the headspace “this isn’t going to work, and here is what is to blame.” Clearly, unhealthy cognitive patterns. These 10 days between IUI & beta have been unexpectedly tougher than I anticipated.

Any questions?: Other than ways to apologize to M.H. for being a jerk, nope.

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? Probably Scotland Highlands. When I went, it was so beautiful & green, even though it was winter. Everything about Scotland was great for my soul.

ndz2018 · January 2018

Diagnosis (if you've been): MFI ... I suppose I don’t have to put Septate Uterus anymore because I had It removed??

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): Benched

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): I started Estradriol on 1/22 twice a day to help build my lining back up after the surgery, progestrone will start on 2/13 twice a day. Still taking all my vitamins and everything. I think I’m going to start making smoothies in the morning again with my green vibrance. I want Body to be in the best shape for the March FET.

How are things going?: Going ok. I’m pretty sure the estadriol is making me emotional and cranky. I was Talking to my niece about The Land Before Time and about Little foots mommy and I just Started HYSTERICALLY CRYING and then started laughing because I was crying. Oh boy! I’m a total train wreck lol

Any questions?:

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed?
One of the most peaceful, beautiful places that comes to mind when I think of my favorite hmmmm I’m going to go with Lake Tahoe, CA..also Antigua (any carribean island for that matter) ... love Europe too!! Just too many enchanting places in this world to call 1 my favorite!

RVAmom315 · January 2018

@elothair The worst part of this process is the constant waiting. Then the hurry up!! Then the waiting...brutal. Hang in there!

@jrm_14 Beta is close! Are you going to test beforehand? GL!

@ndz2018 I hear you about getting your body ready, mine is no where near ready!

AFM...

Diagnosis (if you've been): Secondary infertility due to mild MFI, AMA

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO/WF IUI #3

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): IUI #3.

How are things going?: OK. Started Clomid Saturday/CD 3 and have had brutal headaches since then. I think it's partly the weather too. Waiting on the pharmacy to call with my payment for the injectibles...always a good time. Also waiting on my AMH results - retested Friday, first time since last February. Hoping they're still decent.

Any questions?:

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? St. Thomas! Our honeymoon 6 years ago - all inclusive, not a care in the world. We've been trying to figure out a way to get back there since then. Probably not going to happen anytime soon

shortstack930 · January 2018

@elothair sorry for the frustration! So much of IF is waiting and it is so hard.
@jrm_14 I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Trying to schedule appointments around work/life can be hard and on top of everything else you're going through it must be frustrating.
@ndz2018 glad the surgery went well! Sorry you're dealing with the side effects of estrogen.

Diagnosis (if you've been): secondary IF due to endometriosis

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): IVF

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): stimming!! ER hopefully next week with fresh transfer after.

How are things going?: Not too bad. I've gotten red itchy bumps where I inject the Gonal-F each time but they seem to go away within 24 hours. I had some bloodwork done this morning so they'll call me later to let me know what dose to start the Menopur at tonight. Then my first monitoring ultrasound Wednesday morning!

Any questions?: Nope.

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? Well our favorite place to vacation is Disney World, but DH and I took a really nice trip to California for our one year wedding anniversary. We flew to San Francisco, spent a few days there, then rented a Mustang convertible and drove down the coast to Los Angeles, where we spent another few days.

shortstack930 · January 2018

@RVAmom315 sorry about the headaches!! Hope the injectables aren't too bad.

50Wife · January 2018

@elothair Ugh I hope you can get some answers! The not knowing is so frustrating!
@jrm_14 Eek Betas are soon!!! And for your husband, just blame the meds and tell him your sorry! lol
@ndz2018 Your emotions sound pretty on point! I made the mistake of catching up on This Is Us while doped up on fertility drugs. Dumbest.Move.Ever.
@RVAmom315 ah sorry about the headache!!! I hope it goes away soon, that sucks! FX your labs look good!

Diagnosis (if you've been): MFI - Low Count

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): IVF

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): ER TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!! I'm nervous as all hell! Have to be there at 10:45 and ER is at 11:15.

How are things going?: Good. I'm glad to be over the stim process. It went quickly and wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I'm totally bloated and feel the extra stuff on my insides with every step I take...but my jeans still fit so I'm considering that a win! lol
And at my scan yesterday, the doctor actually did it and said I was like responding perfectly to the meds and even said it was textbook and exactly what they'd want to see. So I'm glad! I feel like I'll be an anxious mess for at least the next week until we know what we're working with!

Any questions?: Just tell me I'll survive the ER tomorrow. I don't know why I'm freaked out, but I am FREAKED OUT! I think it's my type A and wanting to be in control and now tomorrow I'll be out with my legs up in the air. Sounds fun, right?? Ugh!

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? I loved Jamaica and Aruba. We did Aruba for our Honeymoon and said we'd try and go back for our 10 year anniversary (which will be next year, holy shit how did that happen?!). I also absolutely loved seeing the Grand Canyon as part of our Vegas trip for my 21st birthday.

[Deleted User] · January 2018

Lurker*****

@50Wife So excited for you tomorrow! You'll do great, promise

Totally normal to be freaked out.

lurvleybunchococonuts · January 2018

@elothair FX you can get your bloodwork taken care of this cycle. Waiting is so difficult. Have a wonderful time on your work trip!

@jrm_14 *hugs*

I hope these next few days pass quickly for you. I'm a jerk to MH pretty often, thankfully he understands and still loves me. I'm sure yours does too

@ndz2018 Hopefully you didn't scare your neice crying over the Land Before Time, although that movie is pretty sad

@rvamom315 I hope your headaches resolve quickly

@shortstack930 Yay! I hope everything goes smoothly

@50wife FX for you! Hooray for getting through the stims! You WILL get through tomorrow

Diagnosis (if you've been): PCOS

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): Just waiting, not sure where in my cycle I am... pretty sure I didn't O, but on CD 50+

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Testing/waiting on test restults

How are things going?: I'm so impatient. Waiting on a call back to see what we're doing next. I've decided that if I don't hear back by the time I'm done with work I'll call. I just don't want to be the pest. Also have a message in to my insurance, instead of calling again I sent a message so that I can have a paper trail for my own sanity/documentation not based on verbal information/memory.

Any questions?: Nope

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? Mississippi to meet H's bio-family. It was surprisingly a great time!

Avrilmai · January 2018

@50Wife you will survive! You've got this! I'm so excited for you!
@RVAmom315 yikes, the Clomid headaches are horrible. I hope yours goes away very soon.
@shortstack930 glad the bumps are clearing up on their own. Hope the u/s goes well Wed.
@ndz2018 I don't know, The Land Before Time is pretty sad seems like a normal reaction to me! Glad the surgery went well and you're on the road to recovery.
@jrm_14 I'm sure you know all of the thought stopping tricks. I hope you find a way to find some peace during this wait.
@elothair the waiting really is the hardest part, we have no control. I hope things work out for your testing. Your work trip sounds amazing.

Diagnosis (if you've been): Unexplained

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO/Benched

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): waiting for repeat u/s /follow up from ruptured cyst. US is next week, until then, I wait. I did do some blood work/genetic screening (thanks for all of the feedback on that last week) so at least I feel like I did something this cycle.

How are things going?: just kind of going. feels like a really long wait for this u/s and if we do get the clear we have missed this cycle, so just mentally preparing for IUI next cycle.

Any questions?:

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed?
New Zealand. It was unbelievably beautiful and we had such a great time there.

RVAmom315 · January 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts Be a pest. There's nothing wrong with advocating for yourself. I understand these doctors/nurses do this every single day, but we don't (well, we shouldn't lol) and we deserve to know what's going on.

@avrilmai Hopefully this U/S will give you the OK to move forward. GL!

jrm_14 · January 2018

@elothair ((Hugs)) The waiting is difficult. I hope that AF shows ‘on time’ to be able to do everything this upcoming cycle.

@ndz2018 The daily things, like healthy choices, make it feel like you’re doing something instead of waiting. Keep up the good work!

@RVAmom315 I don’t plan to test ahead of beta. I’m not 100% convinced that I won’t, though. Whatbpharmacy are you using? I was told Mandell’s would call me for payment & I ended up calling them an hour before get closed because I got nervous.

@shortstack930 Glad the bumps go away quickly. FX your u/s goes well later this week.

@50wife GL for ER! What great news to hear about your response.

@lurvleybunchococonuts I swear M.H. doesn’t take “hormone shots and progesterone” as an excuse for me not being perfect. <——(probably my hormones talking

). I would love to go to Mississippi !

@Avrilmai The waiting sucks, you’re right. I’m glad that you feel like this cycle had some benefits with the labs. When is your u/s next week?

elothair · January 2018

@jrm_14 I can only imagine how tough the wait is because I imagine the expectations are higher with intervention. Will you test before your betas?
@ndz2018 Gotta love crazy emotions - hopefully that's a side effect that does't last forever!
@RVAmom315 FX for good AMH results! And I hope the headaches clear up soon - they are so debilitating!
@shortstack930 Woohoo for stimming! Progress!
@50Wife That is so exciting!!! Everything crossed that tomorrow goes smoothly for you!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Waiting totally sucks. I think being a pest is the way to get things done!
@Avrilmai It sucks how many of us are in the waiting limbo.

ndz2018 · January 2018

@jrm_14 I usually walk over to my H when I’ve been a A-hole say “ Can I have A hug?” And while we’re hugging tell him I am So sorry for the way I’ve acted and that I will try to be more mindful next time... even if I dont Really mean it

, it means a lot for him to hear it.

@50Wife You’re gonna be absolutely 100% fine!!! Your literally under anesthesia for like 10 min. Can’t wait to hear your retrieval results! So exciting!!

@elothair The wheels of infertility are SLOW! Hang in there hopefully you’ll get answers soon.

@lurvleybunchococonuts I am so impatient too, CALL! Which results are you waiting on again?

@Avrilmai Did they say how long the genetic tests take to come back? I think ours took 3 weeks. I’m REALLY REALLY hoping that cyst is gone! Anyway you can call and see if you can get the U/S sooner? Or Did they schedule it next week bc they want to give it as much time to go away?

@shortstack930 GL with the first monitoring app! Hope you’ve got lots of follies in there!!

AlohaKumu · January 2018

Diagnosis (if you've been): MFI

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): Waiting for IVF

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): I'll have my final ultrasound/bloodwork on Friday before my FET next Wednesday.

How are things going?: Pretty good. I think I have my PIO situation figured out. (My neighbor has been really quiet since I asked her about it, but one of my coworkers and a friend who is a medic are both willing to help out.) I asked my best friend to come with me for the FET, since my husband can't be there. She said she would, so I'm relieved that I won't have to be there alone.

Any questions?:

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? It was technically a work trip, but New Zealand was amazing. I loved everything about it and would go back in a heartbeat.

ndz2018 · January 2018

@AlohaKumu That’s awesome your friend and coworker offered to help!!!

jrm_14 · January 2018

@AlohaKumu I bet you’re relieved to have figured out your PIO shots. What a good friend to have hat is going to accompany you to FET ❤️

@ndz2018 Last night, I was in the middle of grumping to MH about something & the “help I’ve fallen & cant get up” commercial came on tv. I laughed so hard I cried. Then, I cried thinking about how those actors probably filmed that in the 90s and are probably all passed away now

.

lurvleybunchococonuts · January 2018

@avrilmai I'm glad you were able to do something this cycle so it doesn't feel like a waste. Good luck on the waiting game. I'm hoping that cyst is all cleared up!

@rvamom315 @elothair thanks

pesting will occur if no info has been received by 3pm.

@jrm_14 well harrumph to YH. He needs to give you at least a little slack! Dumb man

@ndz2018 just prolactin results, but we're suppose to also discuss next steps based on those results so I'm extra impatient, plus I wanna ask her how long I'm suppose to just wait for AF to show up. Sigh...

@alohakumu YAY! I'm so excited for you

That's wonderful that your coworker and friend are willing to help you! And I'm so glad your bestie is going to be with you!

RVAmom315 · January 2018

@AlohaKumu I'm so glad you have your friend coming with you on Friday. Everything is crossed for you

@jrm_14 Mandell's here too - I just heard from them, but last cycle I panicked and called, and they were like, someone will call you back. No one called that day, so I called the next day, and they're like, well you don't need your prescription until this weekend (it was Tuesday) so we were going to get to you later today or Wednesday. I was like, well EXCUSE me! Haha.

AlohaKumu · January 2018

@elothair Yes, the waiting is definitely frustrating in the IF world. I feel like I've been in this strange limbo for so many months. I hope the upcoming testing will give you more answers.
@jrm_14 I'm sorry you are feeling like your headspace isn't in a good place right now. These cycles are so nerve-wracking and it's hard for our hearts not to be hurting. I hope your betas bring good news.
@ndz2018 Yay, Estridol buddies.

It definitely made my body wonky even this time around.
@RVAmom315 I hope the pharmacy gets back to you quickly and that your AMH results are still looking good!
@shortstack930 How exciting that your fresh transfer is coming so soon! We'll probably have our transfers around the same time, so we can be TWW buddies.
@50Wife I am so, so excited for you! I was definitely a bit worried right before my ER, but it goes by really quickly once you go into sleepyland. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I definitely relate to that feeling of thinking you are being a pest. At this point, I don't hesitate to contact my RE when I need to, since there have been so many times when their office has been overwhelmed and missed details that were really important, like medications or appointments. It's hard and exhausting to be your own advocate, but it's worth it.
@Avrilmai Totally with you there on the New Zealand love! I hope all goes well with your u/s and that this limbo period goes by quickly.

Avrilmai · January 2018

@jrm_14 the u/s is next wednesday.
@ndz2018 the genetic screening should take about 2 weeks. They scheduled the u/s 4 weeks from the rupture/diagnosis, so I don't think it is possible to move it up.
@lurvleybunchococonuts paper trails are good, also most insurance companies record calls, so if you keep track of the name of the person and date/time of the call you can usually use that as tracking as well. I even ask them to spell their names sometimes just to be sure I got it right. I don't care if it is Ann I'm asking them to spell it! As for calling the doctor, I've found if I don't advocate for myself no one else will. Call if you need to.
@AlohaKumu so glad you'll have someone at the transfer and I'm really happy to hear that your coworker and friend are able./willing to help with the injections.

rallykat14 · January 2018

@50Wife the ER itself was my favorite part. That little nap they give you is amazing!!!!

darkstar42 · January 2018

@elothair Sorry for the wonky cycle! It always seems to go crazy right when we need to go in for testing. Also, I lived in Edinburgh for six months, so let me know if you want any recommendations there! It’s a wonderful city.

@jrm_14 Sorry things have been rough for you. *hugs* The TWW after an IUI is really hard. I just noticed that you have two dates for betas. I’ve never had that! What is the reasoning there? I Scotland!

@ndz2018 I love Lake Tahoe! We used to vacation there occasionally when I was a kid.

@RVAmom315 The headaches sound terrible! Hope they clear up quickly.

@shortstack930 Glad the stims are going reasonably well so far! Your vacation sounds lovely! You drove through one of my favorite places on earth – Big Sur. Such a gorgeous coastline!

@50Wife OMG, I can’t believe the ER is tomorrow! Fx so hard for you.

@lurvleybunchococonuts Hope you get your test results back quickly! I’m terrible at waiting patiently as well.

@Avrilmai I hope your u/s next week gives you the all clear! I’m jealous of your trip to New Zealand. I’ve always wanted to go there!

@AlohaKumu So glad you have PIO backup and a friend to come to your FET! Yay for support systems.

ndz2018 · January 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts I feel you on wanting AF to show up! When we started our IVF journey AF was 9 days late THEN when I was Waiting to start stims AF was 11 days late!!!! So annoying. I tried everything from taking a massive amount of Vit C to drinking a TON of parsley tea and lots of sex!!! Maybe they’ll give you something to jump start it if it doesn’t show up soon.

darkstar42 · January 2018

Diagnosis (if you've been): unexplained, AMA

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): trying on our own

How are things going?: Ok. My mom (who knows everything we're dealing with) called to tell me one of my cousins is ku, so that was a bit hard. But it's the start of a new semester here and class #1 went well, so things are decent overall. Looking forward to meeting my second class tomorrow and then getting going on the real material on Wednesday! I really do love my job.

Any questions?: I got my thyroid re-tested, and the levels are within the normal range, but the range is super broad. What is a good TSH level?

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? MH and I went to Iceland last winter for our honeymoon, and it was glorious. Definitely want to go back!

AlohaKumu · January 2018

RVAmom315 · January 2018

@alohakumu OMG that unicorn is so trippy!!

lurvleybunchococonuts · January 2018

Yay... so caved and called on lunch

Apparently they re-did a TSH along with the prolactin. Both look normal, TSH was 1.365 (normal range .35-4.9) and prolactin was 15.02 (normal range 5-26). Also, was told that the doctor usually takes care of all her patients and then does all her calls towards the end of the day so I'm just waiting until later for her to call. I'm glad to have some sort of idea how she operates and glad Sharon the phone lady didn't seem to mind my bugging her

@darkstar42 I'm glad you're enjoying your classes! Remind me again what you teach? *hugs*

RVAmom315 · January 2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts Glad you called and everything looks good! And I'm sure you're not the first person to bug Sharon

KristoKekerooni · January 2018

I pinky promise I will come back and read up on ya'll's updates, I just knew I owed you guys an update with all the tags I have.
Diagnosis (if you've been): MFI/RPL

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WFER

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): IVF

WUT.

How are things going?: This morning's scan had me worried AF. The US was joking about my ovaries, because I am coded as ovarian dysfunction for insurance. I laughed and said it was just for insurance, it's actually my H. She said, "well obviously there is ovarian factor too, looking at these." And then I asked about how many she was seeing, and she said,"oh, you'll probably only get one, maybe two eggs at retrieval. You aren't transferring this cycle, right? Your lining is horrible."
So of course, I get into my car and ugly cry all the way to Starbucks. I called H and he reminded me that the lady is not my doctor, and we still have time, regardless. Well the clinic normally calls around noon, maybe as late as two, But they called before I even got to work. She said I have about 12 viable follicles, all either right where they need to be, or easily within the realm of catching up, so she said that was a great number, exactly what we were aiming for. She said my lining and numbers look fine, so fresh transfer was still totally on the table. I have one more US/BW on Wednesday, by ER will be either Friday or Saturday, depending on those scans. I just called to switch flights, and they were able to get my flights switched without increasing my fare, though they said if I needed to change it again, they would have to charge me, so hopefully they don't move it up at all... which I doubt they would, right? My next monitoring is Wednesday morning, and my flight out is Thursday night. She said expect ER Friday or Saturday, so as long as that doesn't turn into Thursday... what are the chances of that? Hopefully none.

Also, Fuck Cetrotide. That shit hurts. I warmed it, tried both icing and warming my skin. nope. It's horrible. It STILL hurts and itches.

Any questions?: Any insight about trigger times, etc? like, theoretically is it possible they tell me to trigger Wednesday after monitoring and then do ER on Thursday? Please tell me know. Is there any wiggle room at all if I tell them I can't be there till Friday morning?

GTKY: what was your favorite place that you’ve vacationed? Hmm. We never vacationed as kids. We grew up too poor. And then our entire married life has been spent TTC, so we haven't spent the money. but I love the beach, I loved DL, and hopefully we will go to Paris next year?

50Wife · January 2018

And I got a call that we're still good for tomorrow, but my estrogen level was at 7,000 and they're putting me on meds starting today in an attempt to prevent OHSS. Now I'm worried. I'm glad they're being proactive and I hope it's enough.

ndz2018 · January 2018

@50Wife Are you guys doing a fresh transfer? My estrogen was really high like that right before the ER too. I had A tough two days after my ER. MAKE sure you’re prepared lots is electrolytes Gatorade, pedialyte , or coconut water is good too!! Salty snacks chips, pretzels, etc I swear I had A slight case of OHSS but I was Urinating regularly so they weren’t too worried. By day 3 I felt A million times better.

ndz2018 · January 2018

@KristoKekerooni WTF was wrong with the lady doing your monitoring, who speaks to someone like that?? Not cool!

elothair · January 2018

@darkstar42 We will only get one day in Edinburgh as we are just flying up in the morning from London and then back later that same day - are there must-sees (other than the castle obviously)? I think right now our plan is to just wander around the city centre for most of the day but my boss wants me to have a list of things I want to see in each place so recommendations are welcome!
@KristoKekerooni Ugh, I'm sorry you had to go through the stress from the tech at the US, that's awful! But I'm glad the news was way better than you were told during!

50Wife · January 2018

@ndz2018 Thanks, you made me feel better! we're doing a frozen transfer.
She called and said it's really high and we're putting you on this medicine starting tonight and OHSS and my mind started to race and Jesus I Googled OHSS which was a fucking mistake.

lurvleybunchococonuts · January 2018

@kristokekerooni I am so sorry the US tech said all that, especially seeing as she was wrong about it all! I'm so sorry she did that to you

I know you asked her, but good grief how awful! Keep growining little follies! I hope you don't need to reschedule anything else flight wise!

emmasemm · January 2018

@KristoKekerooni very fast - if your next monitoring is Wednesday, then you can’t trigger before Wednesday evening, and ER is 36 hours after trigger, so you can’t have ER before a Friday morning.
Safe as houses.

Back for everyone else later!

50Wife · January 2018

Thank you all so much for the pep talk for my ER! I'm anxious and will most likely go out crying, but it is what it is!

@KristoKekerooni Damn I'm sorry the cetrotide was still really bad!!
@rallykat14 I laughed out loud that the ER was your favorite part! I hope I feel the same tomorrow haha The one nurse told me that she'd go back and use the twilight during her breaks if she could bc it's the best full night sleep I'll ever get in 20 minutes!
@AlohaKumu I'm so glad you found people to help with the PIO and you have someone to go to the transfer with you!

I'll try to catch up more tomorrow while I'm relaxing!I just wasted way too much time googling the crap out of OHSS and estrogen levels.

jrm_14 · January 2018

@KristoKekerooni I want to TP that I/s tech for you. Even if she was joking, NOT cool. At all. FX SO HARD everything works out for Friday/Saturday retrieval.

@darkstar42 I’m not sure why there are 2. I presume if #1 is BFN then I won’t have to do #2. ((Hugs)) that’s tough hearing about her pregnancy. I glad to hear first day of classes have been a distraction.

@lurvleybunchococonuts If Sharon has an issue with your call, she should call my RE’s & ask how often I pester them

@elothair The Edinburgh castle was totally worth the scenic view. However, if you only have a day, don’t get stuck there for hours & hours!

ndz2018 · January 2018

@50Wife I wouldn’t worry too much if you’re not doing fresh transfer. Take the meds the doc gave you and make sure you stock up on those items and REST afterwards, is my best advice. I would even ask for pain meds after too! I happen to have some Percocets at home from another procedure and they came in handy for my ER!!
