Week of 12/10

[starryfish]

Hey all! How’s it going? Almost two weeks left before Christmas!

I am laying down on the table post iui right now lol. Fingers crossed iui 3 works!!!

[G22]

Fingers crossed this works for you!

Nothing just yet for me. My mock transfer is the beginning of January, so I'm just waiting around for that.

[megstoo]

Good Luck!!!

I'm going through all the darn meds for IVF and realizing that I only need to a couple more. OMG the needles though. 1 woman gave me her unopened menopur and I swear like 200 needles.

Fingers crossed starryfish!

I had surgery Friday to remove a fibroid and it wasn't a fibroid at all - it was a polyp. He found a smaller one in addition to the 1 inch one we saw on the sonogram. I've taken it easy this weekend and am just sore. Minimal bleeding at least.

I'm super anxious to start prep for IVF and the coordinator told me that at my post-op appt, once I get the all clear, we can schedule next steps for that. Post op is next Monday so hopefully I will have a plan in hand once I leave that appt?

Just trying to get my shit together this week since we leave Sunday for my parent's house. H brewed this weekend so I have spent the last two days making dog treats from some of the spent grain. I am also trying y hand today at making bread from it. I have been watching a lot of the great British bake off this past month.

We have h's work holiday party Friday. The organization of this is all sort of a clusterfuck right now and doesn't make sense. They want each office (5 offices varying from 5-9 people each) bring a basket to raffle off to each other. A basket that they have to buy to bring for people to buy raffle tickets for as a fundraiser. I asked h why they don't just straight ask for money instead because everyone has to input money to buy their office baskets anyways. And the only people that will be there are people from the company so it isn't like an outsider can bid on the basket.

It is also supposed to be a taco bar with everyone bringing something that the people up top will let them know what to bring. We still haven't heard what we are bringing.

Anyways other than the above I am just yoga-ing, working and getting to set up to sub at the local schools next year.

Good luck with the IUI starryfish! 🤞

I'm waiting to hear back from one of the REs I checked out to get my results. I called this morning at 11, and it went straight to voicemail. They try to call people back within 24 hours. It's a small office, but it's another reason why I think I'm going to stick with the other group.

I'm hosting Christmas dinner this year. I haven't thought about it all. I need to get on it!

[stellelinds25]

starryfish good luck, fingers crossed!

chocolatepie I'm glad your surgery went well, hope you continue to recover well!

Nothing here...just waiting for our new RE consult in a week!

starryfish sending good wishes!

Still working out insurance and whatever with the financial coordinator. We also want to push for a fresh transfer and not doing the PGS testing next month.

My brother just pulled the whole, "Why don't you guys just adopt? Seems like it would be easier" thing with me. Including, "So many kids need homes." He should know better. Our mom works in the foster care system. I totally reamed him over text, though.

starryfish, fingers crossed for you!!

I didn’t get the job I interviewed for and I’m super bummed. I really wanted to move back to my hometown. It’s probably for the best though with all the IVF stuff getting ready to ramp up, it was going to be a huge effort. I started Lupron a couple of days ago so we are officially on our way! DE retrieval should be the week of 1/6!

[shoeless]

I’m sorry about the job pickel

I’m on my way to the airport for my FET tomorrow.

So exciting!!! Good luck today, let us know how it goes!!!

[seeyalater52]

Good luck shoeless!!


I have been so swamped at work I’ve barely had time to think about this mock cycle. Lining check is tomorrow to hopefully confirm that the hysteroscopy and biopsies will be done on Dec 21. Fingers crossed my lining looks reasonable.

[stellelinds25]

Good luck today shoeless!!

[shoeless]

Thanks all, transfer went smoothly. Now I am just going to try and keep my mind off testing for as long as possible!

[G22]

I told my sister we were starting IF treatments again. Shes been married for a few years and told me they are beginning TTC next year. They have no kids yet.

Part of me is so excited for her and that maybe we'll be pregnant together and/or have kids close in age, but I'm also really trying to reign in those feelings and trying not to get my hopes up for that.

[seeyalater52]

Officially official for biopsy and hysteroscopy on the 21st with lining at 8.2 this morning. Results of the karyotype are back and it’s normal. Which on the one hand I’m glad I don’t have any genetic issues but on the other hand wtf is wrong with me is still TBD and we are getting closer to the end of the list of tests.

[icedcoffee]

YAY! I'm glad you can get started seeyalater52. I really hope the biopsy gives you a reason (something easily fixed!).

I remember when my H's karyotype came back normal, yet he still had zero sperm count and it was this weird feeling of relief, but anger that no one could explain wtf he had zero sperm.
