It was so nice to be home this weekend, and my birthday was nice and low key and relaxing: enjoying the spring weather, working out, massage, family and friends, CAKE, some goodies as well I was really sad though, as I was supposed to have a 2 week old, and I am so scared that this IUI will not work. There were a lot of tears as well. But I think it was therapeutic, if that makes sense.
Trying to plan out my week, exercise is supposed to be minimal, according to my nurses, while we wait one more week for the results of this IUI. I need to vote tomorrow but the polling place does not open until 9 am. Not convenient!
I'm sorry your birthday weekend was filled with mixed emotions, shauni27. I'm rooting for you so hard this cycle! Crazy that your polling place doesn't open until 9am, mine opens at 7am! I'm so excited to vote
I had a good weekend. DH and I had a really nice day yesterday, walking along the waterfront (7+ miles according to my tracker) and getting pizza at my favorite place in the city. It was such a gorgeous day!
Hugs shauni27. I'm sorry your birthday was emotional, but glad that it was therapeutic. I'm keeping everything crossed for you!!!
I started another crochet project this week...stopped by my local yarn joint and came across some yarn that was SOO incredibly soft, I couldn't refuse. Just another blanket, but it's only the 2nd project that I plan to keep for myself (everything else I crochet, it's for someone else, so I rarely keep any of my work). DH is gone on a work trip for the next few days...so I intend on sitting on the couch, crocheting, listening to podcasts or watching TV. It's going to be blissful.
13 dpIUI. I haven't tested yet. My H doesn't want me to test, he thinks it stresses me out. I told him I'd give it a shot, but it's easier said than done, lol. This cycle wasn't that promising, since my follicle was so big at trigger. I've got a ton to do at work oday, so hopefully that will keep my mind busy.
good luck with your test today starryfish. I hope it's good news, or at least easily resolvable.

This weekend passed in a blur! We spent all weekend purging, packing, and cleaning the house. Our realtor came over yesterday with her friend who helps her stage, and we moved a bunch of furniture around. Our garage is half full of boxes, and another quarter has extra furniture. The photographer comes today, and it should be up on MLS tomorrow! There is basically NO inventory, and things are going wild, so she's suggesting listing it $20k over what we thought we'd have to convince her to try. H logged in to Zillow and made small changes, as we'd never done that, and it had old pics from when we bought it as a foreclosure, and our Zestimate went up by $25k, to over where she's listing us. We ended up getting the new house for $7k under the Zestimate. I know this varies, but it's pretty close in our neighborhood.
Ok, so that was long and boring. IVF. It failed. Spoiler, but I had a medium-light positive on Sat (8dp3dt), but it was a squinter on Sunday and gone today. I feel like I already mourned, and I'm moving on. Asked dr. Sh.er a question on his website and requested a Skype appt. calling my nurse today to ask that I get to cancel beta #2 (1 is today) and schedule my wtf. I mapped it out, and we can cycle before our Maui trip, so long as this cycle ends soon.

Mushe, my heart hurts. I am so sorry. It sounds like you are in a good place with this, emotionally, and have a plan of how to proceed, which is great. But I am sorry you are in this position at all. Also, will you PM me your house listing when it is up? I have a vision of where you live and how lovely it is, I am dying to see if I am right
Oh Mushe, what a mindfuck to have a positive and then have it disappear. I am so sorry, and wish I could give you a big hug. It sounds like you're in a good place considering, and I'm glad it looks like you can cycle again fairly soon. Big hugs, friend.
No change over here. Still just waiting. Some cramping this weekend, but not even a drop of spotting. I'm going to give it a week before I call. Next Monday, we'll be at.. just shy of 3 weeks from no growth. Maybe they'll at least bring me in to see if they can tell if anything is happening. I don't want to sit around waiting for a m/c for a month and a half and then have to do a D&C anyway.

Just got home from my day 5 transfer. I have mixed feelings. We had no embryos that reached full blastocyst. We had 1 that was an early blast and 1 that was in cavitation (unclear what that means but its behind early blast). Anyway, they transferred those 2. There are 2 others they are watching and will freeze if they develop.
I guess we will see what happens. Fortunately I did shared risk so my next cycle would just be the cost of meds, but man this sucks.
On the other hand, I think girl embryos develop slower.

knx9211, have they considered cytotec or something? For my two MMC, I never showed any signs of miscarrying naturally, and they offered me meds to try to kick start it both times.

They haven't yet. Honestly, I'm not sure if there's a reason they haven't recommended it. I'll ask about it when I call. The waiting is killing me.

I know, completely. This part was the hardest for me. I'm here if you ever want to talk.

I got my homework in like a minute before it was due yesterday. And ecided never again will i let that happen. The site for my class was running so slow so i am assuming it is because a lot of people were doing teh same thing. It was super frustrating and i was really worried. Anyways did a few errands today and while i was hopeful all weekend now i am in a i don't think this worked phase. UGh i hate 2ww
I don't know! I figured I would start spotting today and I wouldn't need to test. If I don't spot, then I'll probably test in the morning. My DH is leaving Wednesday for a work trip, so I'd like to know either way before he leaves. i probably won't sleep well tonight...
Fx for et @bigredgum Fx for you icedcoffee you still transferred two so keep hoping! Mushe I'm sorry it didn't work this time. If blows
Afm- my cousin had her ultrasound today and sent me a pix...I wanted to hear about it but wish she hasn't sent the pic. It made me so sad. However the quality of her 8 week ultrasound at the ob was awful compared to my 6 week at the re. I realize the re has better equipment but whoa.
