Another Monday time for our weekly thread

[ilovecandy]

So what is on tap for everyone?
Pandora how are you doing?
Megstoo any progress?

I know I am forgetting people so forgive me.

Nothing right now since transfer will be next month

Life wise H and I have been talking a lot because we are due to move next year and so have been discussing places. He has to email his person next week and we will maybe find out what is available and them put in his list of what he wants.

H also threw on me this past weekend that if we are successful he wants to get rid of what I am currently driving and get a newer (still not completely new but newer) vehicle. My vehicle is a 2006. I kinda hate it but we bought with the intention of handing it down to someone else within the next year, which will likely not happen. I actually told him a month or two ago that while.i hate it he has done a good amount of work to it and it is lower miles (for a 2006) so I can deal with it for a few years so we don't have a car payment and can pay other stuff down.

I’m waiting for CD1. My cycles hardly ever start on their own until CD50+ so I’m trying to decide if/when I should take provera. I need to call my RE tomorrow to see what she thinks.

We are planning to visit our families in December so we are trying to get that booked. I’m pulling hard for a little trip for us in November, but I’m unsure on the status of that. My H also needs to schedule a business trip before the end of the year, so we’re just trying to figure everything out- not to mention where TTC fits in with it all.

H found out today he is eligible for 12week paid parental leave. That would be so amazing but I have little hope I’ll get pregnant.

I have 7 more days until my gyn appointment. So much waiting. I’m really second guessing being in depot lupron. Has Anyone been on it not during an IVF cycle? I took a very low dose during my last IVF and I didn’t have physical side effects, but I felt almost emotionless for a short time. Maybe it was the lupron, maybe the stress of IVF , who knows? I keep hearing about how depot lupron has some severe side effects.

I'm on BC right now. Since EVERYTHING else I've done to bring on a cycle has failed (4 forces) I'm doing the BC route for 2 weeks. I'm kinda bothered by the fact that nothing is happening. I'm not even having spotting or breakthrough bleeding on BC which I've always had in the past when I was on it before IUI's. This has me more than kinda bothered... more like worried that something is wrong and I'm at the end of my IVF journey with nothing to show for it.

We transferred Sunday morning, it was a 5AB blast prior to freezing that expanded to a nice 6AB fully hatched blast. I am 2dp5dt and already symptom spotting like crazy. This 2WW is going to kill me. I think I am going to test from home later this week.

I'm having a weird cycle. I'm supposed to do an ERA, and was also out of town over the weekend, so on Thursday, when I started spotting, I called my doctor to get baseline testing on Friday. Well, they said my progesterone was still too high. Okay, fine, sometimes I spot for a few days before a real period, making it hard to know when it actually starts. They had me come back Monday and my progesterone had gone UP. They said I wasn't going to get my period for probably another 7-14 days, WTF.

Also, they found what they said was a paraovarian cyst on the ultrasound, but I go back Friday for the tech to investigate. It's outside my uterus and they said these cysts basically dangle on a thin stalk from the ovary, but it's making me nervous.

Good luck pandora89!

I'm 4dp5dt today. I had a BFP by now on my successful cycle but I can't bring myself to test after our failed cycle last month. Maybe tomorrow, but I just can't bear the thought of not seeing a second line and then obsessing over it for the next week.

I finally made a counseling appointment through my fertility clinic. I was able to get in for next Wednesday. Hopefully it will help me make some decisions.

I literally have nothing going on. Just waiting for our DNA karyotyping results in December before making any more decisions.

I’m really loving my new job. So far my boss is great, and gives me lots of freedom to shape the HR department the way I want. I did have an employee tell me she’s pregnant earlier this week, which for the first time in awhile didn’t phase or upset me. I credit Zoloft and happiness in the job for this. She has a very physical job so I’ve had to put some modifications in place for her and know way earlier than I’d ever expect someone to tell me.

Asking dr for laparoscopic surgery? I’m part of an adenomyosis group on FB, and some people have mentioned that their dr wants to do a diagnostic surgery to rule our endometriosis. I’ve never really thought that I’ve had endo, but I know you can have it and not know. Anyone ever just straight up ask for something like this?

I asked my doctor for exploratory surgery to look for silent endo. He wasn’t super open to it, and honestly I was grasping at straws.
