Re: TTTC Check-In 5/31/18
QOTW We’re off to Iceland this weekend! Just 3 full days, but I’m excited. The rest of the summer we’ll be traveling to visit family.
AFM: We don't have any more real travel plans for the summer after our vacation last week. We were planning a trip to DC in August but have canceled due to potential cycle timing (plus I didn't really want to go anyway). So we might do a few short trips here and there but nothing formal planned.

@ChristenMA83 Can't beat just lounging around for vacation.
QOTW: Any summer vacation plans? We are getting married in 29 days at a farmhouse which we have rented for the week. So that will be our vacation. It is gorgeous though and I am excited to pretend it is mine for a whole week

So glad you had the FET yesterday and keeping FX for you.
In all honestly, I'm pretty sure you are going to get pregnant this round, so part of me (very very selfishly) will be a little sad to lose your calming, sensible, and grounded presence on these boards. But then I think: "Whatever will be, will be."
So yeah, that's how certain I am that this is the one for you!!!! xoxoxox Have fun in Iceland!
And thank you soo much for the kind words last week. It meant a lot to me.
@ChristenMA83 - ugh, I hate cancelling things to potential cycle timing. Hoping you can do some short trips here and there, and I have to say - it sounds like you have been a real trooper these past few weeks, in spite of great personal pain and disappointment. Keeping FX for you, and hoping you have happy news soon.
@meri-mac - a wedding?! Exciting!! ps. you made me laugh with your comment about the penis museum. DH would love that too.
@emmasemm - any updates?
@BWhitta - glad to hear all went well with your lap!
@oklahomak - welcome! I hope your stay here is short.
@mirabelle33 - you really touched me last week with your comment on bravery. Thank you so much.
ps. I didn't think your comment about being "forced to deal with it" sounded irresponsible AT ALL. The IF testing we have to do is wild. Early on, I tested positive for some crazy antibody that I'd never heard of, that no doctor seems concerned about and would only be a risk if my husband had a specific, rare blood type and our baby inherited it. So (of course) we had DH tested, and it was negative. I felt like a crazy person! You do all these things to prepare for "what ifs" and chase all these phantom threads. Now, when doctors tell me I should test for "x", I'm just like: "Fine, whatever. I'll get to it when I get to it."
QOTW: We spent this past year investing a bit more in DH's favorite hobby: boating. Hopefully we will boat it up all summer!
AFM: Feeling a little sad today. Some very, very small part of me had hoped I'd get KU-ed this cycle. I even had some unusual cramps last week, and I thought: "Maybe? Maybe?" But then today I had some tell-tale cramps today and I realized that this cycle is going to be another bust. I'm just waiting on CD1. Ugh. Go away, AF. Go away!
Welcome @elisek, hope your time here is short. When is your next blood test?
@meri-mac hope the wedding plans are going smoothly, wedding are so exciting!
@funkykey I'm so sorry this cycle isn't looking hopeful any more. I will keep some hope for you. Lots of hugs
Afm second bloods tomorrow but given how slow I am to respond I'm not expecting anything. I have spent this evening making a dinosaur cake for my niece's 3rd bday tomorrow,feeling a bit anxious about the party.
Qotw it's winter over here so hoping for a get away at some point. Was considering Japan for a few weeks but don't like the idea of planning thing too far out. Our typical holiday activities aren't generally preggy friendly

QOTW: We're going on a Scotland/Iceland trip! We try to do an international trip each year, always saying it's, "One more big vacation before we have a baby." This is year 4... maybe that will be a true statement this time
@Bababatty Looks like your Iceland trip is before ours — if you have any tips when you get back, I'd love to hear them! Fingers crossed for a successful FET! So happy to hear it's looking good!!!
@meri-mac Congrats! I bet it will be beautiful. Side note, now DH is planning a visit to the penis museum lol
@funkykey Thanks for the welcome! I'm sorry to hear this cycle isn't looking hopeful

7 medicated cycles (see above) = BFN
2. What is your diagnosis? Recurrent miscarriages. then found out a few things in 2016 but they aren't sure they caused our losses. But I have hashimoto's, a little bit of PCOS, low vitamin d and low iron, PA1 4g/5g
3. What is your current Rx plan? Waiting to ovulate. CD7 today.
QOTW: Any summer vacation plans? Vacation trips with hubby to the beach and smoky mountains probably. Not sure yet.
So I'll get to day 31, and I think: "Maybe these PMS symptoms are a pregnancy!" and then day 32 & 33 I feel, finally, hopeful. Then BAM! No dice, sorry. Not pregnant again.
For me, that aspect of the treatments has been one of the hardest, mentally - just the wait between day 31-34.
I'm in that now, I keep thinking: "Maybe, maybe." Because I'm about 2 days late now. But the last time I went through this, and the time before, it was nothing. Just my body adjusting after all the different treatments. And I'm so traumatized from my last few HPTs, I don't want to ever see another again.
