Re: How are we all doing?

Hope you feel better


I am currently cd4 and on gonal, back Monday for blood and sono


Vent: been waiting since 3 pm for krupners pharmacy to deliver my shots and endometrium, I call the office and no answer. So glad sitting around on a sat night


Good news: DH and I are planning a mini weekend getaway to AC next month

Re: How are we all doing?

I hope those symptom mean something good for you!!!!

I just got AF and spoke to my RE- at my next period, I'm starting bcp for a few weeks and then starting stims for my next ivf! So I'm relaxing this month but so excited for starting!

Rant - my stupid dehumidifier decided to break this week and it cost a few hundred dollars to replace.

Fun news- DS is finally starting to really take 4 or 5 steps at a time! I think he will be walking soon!!!

How are we all doing?

Hope your symptoms are a sign of good things to come!

I am going for my HCG injection tomorrow am and starting our second round of IUI on Monday.

Rant - I am frustrated that I did 7 days of 150mg of Clomid and only got one viable follicle. There were 4 in total but three of them were 16 and under. I feel like my body isn't responding to the Clomid. :( I know it only takes one but I feel like this lessens my chances tremendously.

Fun News - I am not working right now and am LOVING having the summer off!! YAY!

Re: How are we all doing?

Good Luck to all you ladies!

I am currently at cd 4. We will begin our next IVF cycle when I get AF. I am slightly apprehensive because we are starting at a new clinic and I will be staying with relatives while my DH stays home.

We just got back DH's SA and there has been no change... It makes it somewhat difficult to be optimistic, but I am still holding out hope.

We are going away for a long weekend on July 11 to Cape Cod.

Re: How are we all doing?

Wow Goldie!! Those were my symptoms when I had my BFP last cycle!!! Good luck, sounds promising!!!

I'm currently 19dpo with no period in sight. Will prob go for beta tomorrow. Symptoms are sore boobs, lots of CM and extreme fatigue but no positive tests. I took one last night after like an hour if holding (was out) and it looked neg but still shadowy. I'm assuming this chemical is still holding on maybe? I don't know, will hopefully get answers tomorrow.

Vent: I'm worried that my cycle is 'off' now and I may have my period for my wedding! C'mon AF or baby lol

Happy stuff: my wedding is in two months!! We are super excited!!

Re: How are we all doing?

Good Luck to you all

Today is CD 23 and due to DH's work schedule the past month, we haven't been able to in 4 weeks . Not that I was expecting to ovulate naturally, but it was always in the back of my mind, like what if this is the month. Oh well

Vent: This week alone, I've seen 3 FB pregnancy announcements, and a really close friend of mine just told me she is expecting- and I'm the last to know. She is 18 weeks along, and due the same day I was going to be due if my IUI worked. I have officially become "that" friend people are afraid to tell.

Happy News: I'm really excited for the 4th- every year my family gets together for a big BBQ and its always a great time. We're also getting together with good friends on Saturday, and DH's family on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing friends and family- it takes my mind off of my crappy infertile life lol

Re: How are we all doing?

I am on my first cycle of clomid. Today is CD 12 - so . Fingers crossed.

Rant- Without sounding terribly selfish - my sister just announced her pregnancy after her 1st month of trying. I really am happy for her, just

Something good- we leave for Hershey Park in a week!

Re: How are we all doing?

After 4 rounds of Clomid did not work we need to move forward. We do not have the insurance for it and so we need to save more money.

So we are taking a summer break from meds and specialists. I am working out, and taking my metformin and we will hope for the best. Hopefully in the fall we will have the money and be ready to go.
We have been trying for a long time now so may be a break is needed.
Very emotional all the time.

Something good- doing really well with committing myself to working out.

Re: How are we all doing?

best of luck to all of you!

Re: How are we all doing?

Started at 2000mg of Metformin last week - so hoping that helps push things into gear even more, although its making me feel pretty out of it at that dosage. We're hoping that maybe this is our month, but we'll see.

Re: How are we all doing?

Best of luck to all of you ladies this cycle!!!

This cycle is a wash for me. I have my pre-op today and then surgery next week to remove the polyps on my uterus. Hopefully it'll help us get a BFP in August!

Vent: I have 2 baby showers in the next month for people I cannot STAND. They are literally the nastiest people I know and they don't appreciate anything, but they're family (kinda) so I have to go.

Something good: I've been really getting back into fitness and sports in the past couple of months. I feel like I'm finally starting to get back control over my body and I'm so much stronger and more fit now than I was before. I'm even running a few races this summer and fall and doing another triathlon in late August.

Re: How are we all doing?

Love this board... Nobody truly knows what you go through mentally and physically with this process. Good luck to all of you and don't give up hope. ;)

I'm current waiting until my next period in July to start IVF. First IUI I did failed. Was starting another one but I have 3 cysts on my left ovary, my only ovary- lost one back in 2008 due to an ovarian mass that had to be removed.

Did 2 IVF rounds last year without a transfer- froze 5 embryos bc had to have another surgery to remove another ovarian mass on my left ovary

Dr saved this ovary and it seems to be functioning but my poor cycle is out of whack due to,this surgery. Started getting my period twice a month so they put me on provera to straighten out my cycle. We tried two months of natural with clomid on our own but nothing. Then went to IUI and nothing.

Dr recommends going right to IVF because of the one ovary, my levels and my age- going to be 40 in September. I was hoping to try a few rounds of IUI to see if I can do it on my own. I have insurance so IVF is covered.

I feel like I've been through so much already yet haven't even truly begun the process of trying. Trying to keep positive, eat healthy, getting back to exercising, trying to relax and not stress. I believe it will happen..

Again, wishing you all a successful journey and remember you are not alone...

Re: How are we all doing?

I am on CD 9 (finally got AF after 6+ weeks) and stimming at my usual high dose. Went Monday and 4 follies moving in the right direction, will go back Friday for a re-check and hopefully be ready to trigger

Vent: I asked about a 2nd ovarian drilling and was told it isn't done, yet I know it is based on research I did so might have to find a surgeon to drill me again. LOL, that doesn't sound right. Current RE won't be any help I gather...

Something good: 4 day weekend coming up!! Maybe I will be ready and we can our hearts out. If not, it's still a 4 day weekend

Re: How are we all doing?

Taking a break to enjoy my summer......I'm over IF for a little while!!!!!
