Friday Finally!!!

[starryfish]

I hope everyone had a good week! Looking forward to the weekend!!!!


My body gets so overstimulated from all the drugs (menopur and hcg) and I am finally feeling better today. Two weeks until beta!

I met with a uro/gyno specialist yesterday as I have interstitial cystitus (painful bladder syndrome) and she agreed that me doing a lap for the endo wasn't worth it, and she could do a small non-surgical procedure to see if the endo is affecting my bladder. So that makes me feel a lot better about my decision to skip the surgery. 

Who has ET today? I can't remember!

Glad you're feeling good starryfish - hoping the next 2 weeks fly by.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but when we met with the RE this week, he mentioned that, without finding anything else, MAYBE the miscarriage could be related to my irregular uterus shape. He said that if I do get pregnant and discharged from their care, he will send me to a high-risk OB. So I called one today to make an appointment for 2 weeks from now - we want to discuss with them whether this is an issue and might cause another miscarriage. My RE also said he was open to the idea of placing 2 embryos next time, but again I have to take to the specialist about that before even considering it.

[starryfish]

hugs knx9211, I think meeting with the high risk OB is a really good idea. Hopefully you can get some answers.

[cherryvalance]

Good morning!

knx9211, I imagine it's frustrating to have to see yet another doctor, but hopefully you'll get answers soon.

starryfish, glad you're feeling better!

I'm home after my beta. It was packed at the RE and I had to wait forever to be seen. I'm hoping I didn't try two hours roundtrip just for AF to show up in a few hours.

[awkwardpenguin]

Hugs knx9211, I think that sounds like a good plan.

cherryvalance, good luck with your beta!

Glad you're feeling better starryfish.

I had monitoring this morning and everything looks like it should. Depending on my estrogen I'll trigger tonight or tomorrow. Eeeeeek!

[knx9211]

Good luck cherryvalance!

[kellikans]

Good luck cherryvalance

[starryfish]

GL cherryvalance and awkwardpenguin!!!! Excited for you guys and hope you get a good beta today cherryvalance!

[mpc]

GL cherryvalance! Will you get the results today?
You must be so excited awkwardpenguin, GL!
I hope you can get some reassurance from the new OB knx9211.

I don't really have any update. I'm still feeling very ambivalent, like why bother even trying again. But maybe that's just the grief and I need to keep pushing forward even if I don't feel like it. Sorry to be all down all the time lately. Physically, still nothing has happened. The spotting has completely dried up. I have to do another beta tomorrow.

[knx9211]

I'm sorry mpc. No need to be sorry, it's totally normal. I hope something happens for you soon.

[cherryvalance]

Thanks, guys! They will call this afternoon, so I'll know soon enough. I've got a stack of grading to occupy me.

awkwardpenguin, yay for trigger!

mpc,I'm so sorry. I get you, completely. We waited so long to see the RE because after my m/c, I just couldn't deal with the process. Be kind to yourself and feel whatever you feel. Lots of hugs.

Not much happening here, H is gone for the weekend for a bachelor party he is the BM in. BFF (bride of said wedding) is coming over for the weekend, our plans are to watch trashy TV, bake, brunch, high tea and more food. And then bake! Super excited.

cherryvalance, FX for you!

FX cherryvalance and awkwardpenguin!

Mushe has an IUI today, I don't think there are any ETs today, but I could have missed it. GL Mushe!

I have to go for baselines at 1:30 today. It's beautiful out and I am highly unmotivated to do any work lol. I'm hoping to get a long run in tomorrow.

[awkwardpenguin]

Huge hugs mpc. All the emotions are still so fresh - be kind to yourself.

[konapoppy]

GL cherryvalance!
Hugs mpc.
GL Mushe!!!!

Nothing much new here. I just got a bill for the balance of my D&E from JULY OF LAST YEAR. I had already paid most of it, but I guess there was some small difference in what was owed? WTF. Why does hospital billing take so long?

[Mushe]

Thanks, guys! Leaving in a few.

vanillahip has ET today!!!!!!! How are you, friend?

[Mushe]

WTF konapoppy? I hate hospitals.

[pixy0stix]

I still have 2 follies trucking along, and 1 that may (but most likely will not) catch up. I'm pretty defeated.

I have monitoring appointments on Sat and Sun, which means I'm going to be driving through a snow storm that may or may not drop devastating amounts of snow in the area.

[starryfish]

GL vanillahip!!!!! Do you have your fert report yet? Exciting!!!

Hugs pixy0stix. I hope the weather cooperates for you

[kellikans]

GL Mushe

[awkwardpenguin]

Hugs pixy0stix. What is the plan? I know you were planning on banking, but would you convert to IUI?

[knx9211]

Good luck today Mushe!!

[vanillahip]

I'm trying to stay positive. All 4 fertilized eggs made it to today, we transferred 2- one blast that didn't look great (she didn't even grade it for me) and one morula. The other 2 are 12- and 6- cells that they'll watch today and maybe freeze tomorrow.

I'm feeling sort of sad and guilty for not being happier that at least all 4 made it... I'm going to nap and try to feel better

[vanillahip]

GL Mushe!! And thank you for thinking of me <3

[Mushe]

(((vanillahip))) it's okay to have mixed emotions about it, and it's hard to not want every one of them to just be the best. I think it's a great sign that all 4 are still trucking on day 5, though! So many good thoughts for you.

((pixy0stix))), what crap timing with the snow. Hang in there. I'm thinking of you and hoping for the best.

[Mushe]

Hugs, mpc! It's still so raw. With my last MMC, I told MH that I couldn't possibly try again, this was just it, and then I changed my mind a few weeks later. There's no right or wrong answer, though. Just be kind to yourself!

[Mushe]

Well that sucked. Motility was only 12% pre-wash. Post wash was 27%, but only 600k motile. They said there's not much point in doing the b2b.

[cherryvalance]

Well, IUI#2 was a bust. Thanks for all the good luck vibes, though. Does anyone have a vat of wine I can fall into?

[cherryvalance]

Mushe, I'm sorry. I'm unfamiliar with B2B IUIs. Could the first IUI still work on its own? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

vanillahip, lots of good thoughts for you.

pixy0stix, that is some suck ass timing, but I really hope it works out for you.

konapoppy, wtf. That is some bullshit.
