How is everyone???

I am getting my AMH retested today for the trial. My hopes are not high I will make it, ugh. I go through being very hopeful we will conceive naturally and being really frustrated

[EllieT]

Today is my day off and I'm home relaxing after the cyst aspiration. It went fine and I certainly survived but it did hurt like hell. Luckily it was over quickly.

My lining was only 5 mm which was to be expected really since today is only day 5 of estrogen so we are sticking to the original plan of ultrasound on monday and deciding on transfer day then. I will up my estrogen from 2 mg 3 times a day to 4 times a day.

FX starryfish!

CD1 here, so I am definitely going to India and taking a break for at least one cycle. I am excited to go to the wedding, but also bummed that I am not pregnant and on the sidelines for a bit.

[kristind3]

Morning all. Our student's funeral is at 11:00 this morning, so it will be a sad day around here.

Tonight DH and I are going to an IVF informational meeting. I'm sure they won't tell me anything new, but it will be nice for DH to get to know a little more about the process, even if it will be a few months before we get going.

Sorry about CD1 konapoppy

[oneslybookworm]

((konapoppy)) CD1 sucks, but enjoy India!

Nothing much going on here. I know it was for the best, with everything that has happened in the past few weeks, but I HATE that we've put this second IVF cycle off until January. I just want to get back at it and get some results! I know I'll be absolutely crushed if the same thing happens as last time, so I'm trying to temper my expectations, but it's so hard. I just want a baby, and that seems to be ALL that's at the forefront of my mind as of late.

In other news, I've had weird mid-cycle spotting this month, around O time. Anyone else have that after an IVF cycle?

konapoppy - I am sorry about CD1. When/where are you going to India? My family is from there and we are making a trip there next summer. My (Dutch/Irish) H is coming as well, and it is going to be a huge culture shock for him but he is so excited lol.

Thanks, all.

I am going to Ahmedabad in a month. It will be a whirlwind of a trip!

[mpc]

Today is our work picnic, so at least I don't have to be in the office much longer. I'm planning to show my face for an hour or two, then sneak out early.

sorry about CD1 konapoppy. A trip to India sounds like a great consolation prize though. have a great time!
starryfish hope your test comes back high enough.

[riffraff]

Sorry about cd1 konapoppy

fx for you dil!

We have decided we are going to stay in where we are, and not move in a year or two, since H is doing so well at this company. We also finally decided on where we are going to build a house! The neighborhood is great, it has a huge community center with a pool/hot tub, a rock climbing wall and all kinds of other cool activities. We are in a lease for one more year, so we won't start until mid next year, but we have a goal to work towards, and I'm excited for that.

CD 10 here, so nothing much on the TTC front

Sorry about cd1 konapoppy

Back home from vacation. Up early to go pick the dogs up from boarding and then I have to drop my car off for service work. At some point I need to do laundry and clean the house some, but I'm feeling very lazy.

[kellikans]

So jealous riffraff! I wish we could build a house so badly!

[riffraff]

Where we are getting into is actually really affordable, its crazy how going 2 miles west of where we are the home prices from 200K, it really is all about location location location

riffraff - Love that layout, holy moly at the 3 car garage! I am happy you guys are loving it where you are. Did you guys initially plan on moving back to Florida after a few years?

eta - and here I was excited about my 850 square foot condo. Haha sometimes I hate living in Canada.

No, we were talking about possibly seattle or portland

[Deleted]

After today I'm off until Monday so that's exciting.

I think I'm going to start using the Wondfos suggested and thinking about ordering a Vitamin B complex. I just started my cycle Saturday night so nothing much going on in that department right now.

[oneslybookworm]

riffraff - Yay for home building!! That's so exciting!

[thoseareradishes]

Morning. Rainy day here. I'm going to a painting class with a friend tonight, I'm excited. The painting will actually match my house decor, so it won't be a waste of $35!

I have no idea what is up with my cycle this month. I did a practice prep cycle last month to see how long it would take my lining to grow in, then I took provera, so my cycle was only 20 days long. I'm on CD14 today, and not sure I ovulated - I had the telltale back ache Saturday, but that seems early, so who knows. Kinda annoying. Is it common to be a little wonky coming off provera?

[Mushe]

(((konapoppy))) I'm sorry for CD1. I hope the trip is a nice distraction, and what an opportunity to get to see your BFF married there.

riffraff, love the layout! That's so fun. I would love to build new and get to pick everything.

Have fun tonight, thoseareradishes! No advice on provera.

I'm sorry you're having to wait, oneslybookworm.

[Mushe]

Ugh, I have a migraine and need a massage to fix it, but my reflex/massage lady went crazy and I don't have someone new yet. And of course no meds, since I ran out just before the last IUI and didn't refill since it's not PG-safe. I ordered a refill this morning. I think I'll have to leave after my meeting this morning.

[thoseareradishes]

Hope you feel better soon Mushe!

[ilovecandy]

Riff Raff I can't wait until we have a house again my h would be super jealous of your 3 car.

Mushe feel better

((Kona))

Sorry on my phone and can't tag. My boss at the two day a week job is an idiot. She sent out an email yesterday saying we couldn't talk to parents. I asked her about it this morning and she was all well it is really only.one person. Then you do a fucking on the spot correction for that one person and not make a blanket rule that affects everyone that is pretty stupid because the parents like talking to all of us not just the coordinator. I mentioned this and she goes well you don't need to worry it isn't you. I was like great but the sentiment still stand if there is an issue you as the coordinate or if it is the co coordinate need yo make the correction then fucking stupid if the co coordinate can't handle correcting the rest us when we do something wrong then she shouldn't be co coordinator.

I got off early today from that job because we were low so I am enjoying a bigger break between jobs today. Also the coordinators favorite came back to work today after having her baby. The coordinator is the honorary grandma of the baby so the worker keeps calling the coordinator OMA and it is annoying me because not professional especially since the coordinator claims she doesn't get close to anyone because she is the boss. Riiight.

Sorry clearly I have some pent up frustration but I can't quite the job yet.

[poppypoppins]

I'm sorry konapoppy, cd1 is the worst.

DH and I talked more and decided to start our IVF cycle, I started bc yesterday. I'm nervous but excited to do something that has more than a 10-15% chance of working. Everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant and it's easier dealing with it knowing that we'll get there sooner rather than later too

Went for my stims check up this morning and I had 19 follicles greater than 10mm, and at least 5 who were greater than 17mm. The ultrasound tech seemed happy with that, so I am too! Just waiting to hear when my next appt will be. I think we'll have one more check before retrieval, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday.

My ovaries are so bloated right now! 

[cowgirlcutie]

I also went for my monitoring appt this morning. Over 30 follicles so we have confirmed that it will be a freeze all cycle. Trigger tomorrow evening and retrieval on Friday. Feeling pretty nervous about the OHSS risk. The nurse was surprised that I wasn't bloated (yet) but I definitely feel tender and full in my abdomen.

[peas]

cowgirlcutie wow that's a lot of follicles!

[King26]

I just paid the $3,000 for our PGD testing. That was a hard one to swallow. I'm getting tied of the stims, my stomach is all black and blue. Ido think it's working as I feel twinges on both sides. FX for my appointment Saturday.
starryfish FX your AMH is a good one!
@elliet Glad they took care of the cyst and you can move on to transfer.
kristind3 I hope the meeting is informative for both of you
That's awesome riffraff My brother is currently in the process of building his house
Feel better Mushe
Exciting poppypoppins WHat protocol are you doing?
That's a high number peas ! Awesome!
Wow cowgirlcutie That's a ton! Good luck with ER

Blah. Today sucked at work. Getting BBQ takeout and drinking tonight. I feel like I want to quit and just live a simpler life- I could have a much happier life if I was willing to make a lot less and we would survive. Who knows what we will need to pay for treatments though. Just having a hate life day.

[Deleted]

starryfish- Hope the level comes back where you need it. You were pretty close before if I remember right.
riffraff- The house sounds awesome! I would love to build some day!
Awesome news peas!
Everything crossed for you @king26!
thoseareradishes- The painting class sounds fun! You should PIP after. :-)
Mushe- Hope you are feeling better, migraines are the worst!!

[Chrysanthemum]

GL starryfish Will you get the results back this week or next?
Hang in there, King26. You're getting closer every day.
(((Mushe)))
That sounds fun and even better that you think you'll hang the painting! thoseareradishes
kristind3 Thinking of you...a student's funeral sounds so, so difficult. I'm so sorry.

Suppression check is tomorrow. I'm so anxious. I don't know if I'll be able to handle another cyst cancellation. I can't let my mind go there or I start to freak. Any positive thoughts you could send me, I'd really appreciate it. I had terrible cramps in the middle of the night again. That's a new one for me the last two cycles, what fun!

[Mushe]

I'm sorry, @bigredgum! Those days are sucky.

Fx for you, King26! I hope that means things are cooking nicely.

[peas]

King26 to make you feel better my pgd testing is $5600 so $3000 seems like a steal to me!
