At least it is NOT monday today!
How is everyone doing?
We went to the Astros opening game yesterday and I am TIRED and my body is all weird from the extra dose of menopur last night. I can feel my neither regions lol. Trigger today and IUI tomorrow AM!
had a blood draw this morning. We'll see what my beta is when we go back. I have to meet with my actual RE at 3:30 to discuss where we are and whatever changes will be made to my protocol for next time. I'm nervous. I just wish my cycle would start so that I could think maybe we'd actually be moving forward in May. Fingers crossed my beta is finally negative and that it'll be in the next couple of days.

Hello! I'm a teacher on spring break, so I can finally participate in something more than just asking questions .
Good luck tomorrow, starryfish! knx9211, I hope beta is 0 and you can move forward soon.
AFM, I'm in the 2ww after IUI#2. My beta is on Friday, but I'm not terribly hopeful. We have one more IUI to do before moving to IVF, so I'm going to be looking into acupuncturists this week so I can start with the new cycle.
Bad news - I didn't have enough Saizen for my dose tonight. Good news - the nurse said it didn't matter. That I was fine skipping the last dose. Which is good, I don't have to drive all over creation and pay $$$ for another vial for one dose.
Bad news - my gpa asked to be taken to the hospital today. My DH is there with him.
I finally got ahold of the RE office this morning and I guess we are good to go. The doctor didn't put my orders in yet but hopefully it will be ready for tomorrow when I go in for baseline? I feel like everything is disorganized but I'm trying to remain calm. The financial department called me a little bit later to remind me that I have to pay tomorrow so I guess that's a good sign that everything will be ready I hope!
starryfish good luck tomorrow!! cherryvalance FX for friday mac08 glad you get to start! knx9211 I'm sorry you don't have AF yet. And sorry you are dealing with having to cycle again at all. Do you think your doc will change much next time, since the last one you did get pregnant? I've been wondering for myself. We were about to change protocols when I got my bfp, so I wonder if he'll still want to change or go back to what I was doing.
Still nothing happening here. My doc said that after the miscarriage I just need to get my regular period and then we can cycle again. But I was looking at the calendar and we have a vacation planned for 2 weeks at the end of May/beginning of June. I don't think there's any way that timing would work out, so I think we'll have to wait an extra month before we can do anything. Who knew I'd be so bummed about a vacation.
mpc - I'm hoping that he will, and the one resident indicated that he definitely would. While it was amazing that I got pregnant, they retrieved 13 eggs and only 5 were mature. I had nothing left at the end. I'm really hoping they can adjust my stims to slow it down so that more eggs will be mature at retrieval. Fingers crossed.
Also, I'm with you. My body has been all over the fucking place lately. The pants I have on today are.. not fitting great. But by the time I put them on, I was not changing.
mpc, thanks! I'm sorry about your vacation timing. I hate that treatment rules so many aspects of our lives--so frustrating!
mac08,good luck! I definitely had some freakouts about things seeming disorganized and chaotic, but they've always worked out in the end. I think I'm too type A and find it hard when people aren't ten steps ahead, like me, lol.
GL starryfish! Hugs knx9211. Hopefully your beta is back to 0. FX cherryvalance! Hugs mpc. I gained quite a bit of weight after my m/c. Partly because I was comfort eating, partly because I think being pregnant did something.
Good morning! Not a whole lot going on. Just waiting until I can test. I've been having some mild cramping off and on since Saturday, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. We'll see. I keep trying the positive approach and telling myself that I am pregnant, that this is the one, but I'm scared to be let down. Ugh.
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.
Trucking along here. Last Letrozole and first Menopur last night. They do it differently at this clinic; my old one didn't overlap. They also do B2B IUIs here. H was, uh, not excited about that part. I am sooooo glad that I didn't have to just wait this cycle out entirely!
I had a haircut last night and not much time for dinner when I got home, so I just roasted some Brussels sprouts. I didn't even exercise yet today, and I'm starving! Argh.

Also starryfish I had to change my above wording because I had originally written "That's real comforting" and it sounded like I was being sarcastic. I wasn't, I promise! I just can't type.

No worries. I just wanted to share my timeline to help give you hope since I didn't know how long it would take either. Hugs

konapoppy,I went through something similar recently and am just starting to come out of it. Hugs to you! knx9211, hoping you're at 0 soon! Mushe, I ate cereal for dinner last night and was so hungry all day today. Good luck with your IUI's! kellikans, FX for you! pixy0stix, I'm glad the meds worked out for you! Hope everything with your gpa is ok.
I have a good and a bad for today... Bad: CD1 here today and I want to DIE from cramps. I've vomited twice because they are so intense. My boss is a total germaphobe and freaked out that I had the stomach flu at work, as one time I only made it to the trash can in my lab. He also told me I looked rough this morning. I told him I'm not sick and I'm not pregnant, so he figured out the problem on his own and offered to buy coffee and chocolate to make me feel better. The coffee and chocolate part isn't bad but nothing is helping my cramps today.
Good: H went to Mexico for work on Thursday. He was supposed to be home yesterday but his job did not go well, so he was stuck there until the problem got resolved. I got a text at 2:30pm today that he had just landed in Detroit! Him being stuck in Mexico was stressing me out, so I'm happy he's home safe and won't have to go back!
Testing didn't give a reason for miscarriage. No issues with the embryo. Genetically normal baby boy. The only thing he can possibly point to is my misshapen uterus. Also he doesn't think we'll get in before the shutdown. I'm just scared this is going to happen again.
Thanks, brewco! I'm so sorry your cramps are so awful! Good on your boss for bringing the chocolate.
I am so, so sorry knx9211. That's what happened for us too, and that was a complete sucker punch to hear. Someone from another area of my life pointed out that the testing they're doing wouldn't necessarily cover everything, and there are micro deletions, etc., but honesty none of that helped me. Wish I could give you a big hug!

Hey all, what a day. I'm so over work. Off to the gym to work off some steam.
AF has apparently decided to never come so that I cannot do my FET. Bitter is my middle name today. TMI but I feel like I've had EWCM the last few days, is it possible I am ovulating so late? WTH body.
