Morning, This is going to be a quick post and run. I'm running late this morning because I got a positive OPK last night and neither DH or I was in the mood so we made ourselves do the deed this morning and now I'm late. Plus I still need to shower! Arg! Hope everyone has a great Friday.
Working from home today so I can sign for my IVF meds and meet with a landscaper. After years of wrangling my yard, I'm very much looking forward to outsourcing this! Just a couple of work meetings today so it should be an easy day.
I'll start them on CD2, so I'm just waiting for my period now. Should come this weekend. Hoping I can get in for my first appointment before Wednesday when I start my new job. The rest of the appointments should be early enough in the morning that they won't interfere.
When do you start?? Yay for last BCP! So excited for you boiler717!!!
Boiler prompted me to go through my protocol again. Looks like I'll have a monitoring appointment Easter morning. I wonder how that will work? I guess the office will be open? We usually go to church with the fam so I guess we'll see how that plays out.
I'm still a bit tired from getting back from holiday. I always feel I need a 'vacation from my vacation' after a trip lol.
I got my period while we were on holiday. In fact, for some unfathomable reason, my body decided to start spotting at 10DPO (I have a 14 day LP)... what the hell? I'm really trying to mentally prepare myself for not being properly pregnant by the time the anniversary of losing V rolls around in May. We have 1 hail mary cycle left before that, and of course, our recurrent miscarriage consult on the 24th April. I know it seems naïve, but I never imagined not being pregnant again by now - I thought all our hardship was going to centre around genetic testing at 11 weeks.
@cookiemonster03 I go to a big practice as we'll with a similar set up. Fortunately the main office is the one I go to. But I don't know their weekend hours and can't find them in the site. And hey say nothing about holidays. So something to follow up on I guess!
boiler717 my paperwork says Ganirelix/Gonal F protocol. What all is involved in antagonist?

I'm so sorry Loira. I'm so glad your appointment is soon, but that anniversary looming must weigh heavily. I've got high hopes for your Hail Mary cycle!
My students are testing and I finally feel less frazzled. I got two surprise fb pregnancy anmouncwnts yesterday but surprisingly was OK with them. I think its because I was so posses at my principal
I had a kid threaten to kill some kids and when I took him to the office she said she was too busy to talk to him. She said she would get him later to hive him a consequence and never did. I'm pretty pissed because she is so lame. She also hasn't written up my observation from January and said she's too busy to do so. She's worthless and I'm tired of it.
Funny story. My parents texted me a pix last night of them at the barry manalow concert with their glow sticks. My husband was like this sucks...ur parents are out partying and we r home in bed...what a IP with that? Lol
Good luck to those of you starting stims this week!

Good luck to you ladies starting stims and cycling!
I'm eating breakfast and getting ready, I'm going to drive to my hometown later today and meet a friend for lunch and antique shopping. Twice a year there is a GIANT (like, really huge) antique fair close to my hometown so I'm excited to go shop! It's pretty much just an outdoor festival set up, I can walk around with a beer and shop for antiques, it's my favorite! Although I am starting OPKs today so trying to aim in a wondfo package while in a porta-potty may present a challenge.

Oh @meepmeep, what a night. I hope you feel better after laying out the options and having a game plan to think and discuss later. I'm sending you lots of good thoughts today.
spearmintleaf, I've been going through the same cycle of emotions. This is the most hopeful I've ever been, but I'm constantly reminding myself that it may not work and that's ok. We'll just keep trying until it does.

So yep, I had that "What if we never have kids" breakdown last night. I REALLY need something to get my mind off this "do nothing until your next AF" waiting game. Any suggestions?
I think I might start studying for the GMAT/GRE. I have been putting getting my MBA off in hopes of being KU, but honestly, this holding pattern is more stress than being KU in grad school (I think).

I'm sorry @meepmeep. You know I feel you.
We've not done a single thing TTC-wise since October of 2013. H is the same about adoption. I am so ready just to be done with TTC and move on but he's still stuck. When he finally agreed BCP were a good option for me to make things more manageable he also flipped out about me saying I was ready to be finished with TTC. He told me that I had basically just told him that we were going to die "old and alone." In his mind adoption isn't even a solution. In my mind the idea of having yet another miscarriage after spending another $25,000 on IVF makes me sick.
I left work early yesterday because I had SUCH a bad headache, I think it's hormonal
I need to stay off the google lol.
I'm so glad it's friday, we don't really have much to do this weekend. The walk of hope here in scottsdale is tomorrow, and other than that no real plans

I have bad cramps still (yesterday was AWFUL) and my inbox is filling me with rage. Why can't other people just be responsible without me hounding them?
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

ugh @meepmeep, i want to send you a glass of wine. and your DH a swift kick to the balls.
it's supposed to be chilly here tomorrow (high 50's this close to april in GA is chilly!), and i kind of just want to sit at home all day and make shirts with my glitter vinyl that came in ysterday =)
so riffraff, if i'm holding out with you, then i don't have to feel bad about having a beer sunday evening right?
King26, woot for the OPK, but wooooow on your boss. That is awful. My sister and BIL are both in education, and they always say that your administrator makes or breaks the job for you.
ivy, yay for getting your meds, and outsourcing! We are doing the same, and the landscaper comes to do the work on Monday.
And boiler717, yay! It's here, it's here! So excited for all the cycling going on here.
loira, huge hugs! I will not compare my MMC to your loss, but it was also in May, and I'm dreading that anniversary, and just sad that I'm not pregnant yet.
@meepmeep, I can totally imagine that! Hello, universe? This cost a shitton of money, so please let's have it work out, mmmkay? Huge hugs to you today too. I can relate to the blow up. I hope that laying the options out will help your H in moving forward.
swiftlyirun, hugs to you this morning! Taking the GMAT sounds like a great idea.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
So glad it's Friday. This has been a really exhausting week. I went to run group this morning, and kept up with some fast guys, woot. My pace has suffered some since I added in so much volume for marathon training, but having someone to chase really helps. We're looking at a house tonight after work. I think it has good bones, but as much as MH mocks the HGTV-type buyer who's like "I hate this paint!," he can't see past the cosmetic updates it needs. It's in a great neighborhood and has an awesome backyard with a pool. Mush likes.

Huge hugs coming your way, ladies. (discogranny, @meepmeep, loira)). I can't even imagine how you are handling all this.
I tested today at 10DPIUI just to be sure the trigger shot was gone. I know it was a long shot to see a BFP, but it was still a kick in the gut to see the test strip stark white where the line had been. My LP is only about 12 days, so (probably irrationally) I feel like if it were going to happen, it would have happened by 10DPIUI. Stupid, I'm sure.
