I am heading to the gym in a bit. I am so happy because I stepped on the scale yesterday and I have officially lost 10lbs in the last 30 days!! :-D I was a good girl yesterday and did not have cake at my sister's bday party yesterday- I had 2 dark chocolate squares instead. I don't really crave the breads/sweets anymore, but I think I'll start adding in some dairy. I do miss my cheese. :-)
Great news, starryfish! Awesome job, @bigredgum!! Thats awesome! Have fun, kellikans! I love Pearl Jam. I'm hoping to score tickets to see them at Fenway this summer.
I just got back from a 7 mile run. For the first Saturday in a while it wasn't snowing/raining/windy, so that was nice! DH's band has a show tonight and I'll probably just bum around until then. I need to finally get around to watching instructional videos on how to give myself injections, since they start tomorrow. Eek!
@bigredgum Great job! I was down 9.6 last week, but slept through my weigh in this morning, which would have been up after this crazy week. I'm hoping to get back on track this week.
We had to decide what to do about the vacation we have already booked. It's to Mexico. H really really needs this vacation as do I. It's our first one since our honeymoon 6 years ago. I think we've decided we'll keep our RE consult on Feb 15th, but then not start treatment until after the vacation in April due to the virus down there.

I am super anxious and questioning things today. My car, yes the one we just bought. We bought a warranty with it since it was a used car. It had to go in the shop friday. Normally the issuing dealership would want the car in their shop the first 30 days but they authorized this repair to be done down here, issuing dealership where we bought the car and wararnty is 3 hours away. Well they found when they took the stuff off there was even more repairs to be done. So the dealership here has to get approval from the orginal dealership there to do the fix. I guess the money in the first 30 days come from the dealership and not the warranty company. Anyways the orginal dealership is pissed about more repairs, the guy i was talking to was all well mayeb we will jsut take the car back and refund your money. So now i am without a car. H has his supra up and running, however i can't drive stick and it isn't really raodworthy for trips that aren't local. I have an appointment tuesday with my re in town 1.5 hours away. I should be getting my ivf scheudle and so on. I don't have a fucking car to drive. Now h wants to rent a car starting monday which comes out of our pocket. It is money we don't have allocated to that cost, though i can make it work. And i am super fucking anxious about what is going to happen wtih my new to us car. I won't find out until monday what the issuing dealership is going to do.
Part of me wants to delay ivf because of this. I know in the scheme of things it is nothing major but man it is killing me. To be so anxious about not having a car and not being able to make appointments. I am also started our taxes for last year. We don't owe, at least not yet. But man it is stressful. So basically i am one big fucking ball of anxiety.

I think today will be CD1. Like I mentioned in a post earlier this week though, I'm playing the "is this full flow or just heavy spotting?" Game for a little while longer before I call it. If so, that will mean suppression check tomorrow.
I'm heading to barre and the grocery store now. A lazy day and then hanging out with friends tonight. We're expecting a pretty big snowstorm starting tomorrow, so it's hard to know what to expect for the next few days.
Omg you're starting, scm1011! Yay! Is this Lupron you're starting with, or the stims? I'm OOTL.
Ugh, that's really frustrating, ilovecandy. I'd bitch and moan and see if they can get you a loaner. So annoying.
Have a great time at barre and this weekend, Chrysanthemum! Can you be my enabler - do you think I could do barre after I'm ordered to stop high-impact exercise? I have a living social barre class thing that I never used.
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.
I am soooooo tired today! Got home at 9, after a white knuckle drive from the airport (45min) in heavy rain. I got up at 6 to meet a friend for a run. Luckily she's slower, because I was really feeling my lack of water and a balanced diet over the past few days. We were in long car rides and meetings, and I didn't want to have to pee. Bad choices, mush! I think H is pissed at me for leaving for a run, but he won't just say it, so that's fun! He somehow thought we had 3x $4-5k charges, rather than the 2 it is, with one that will be reimbursed since we met our deductible with the meds. I'm like dude, I got this.
Free*dom also managed to fuck up entry of my email address, so I got a message hours after they sent it (added a dot), but then I never got a tracking number for today. I called and waited 20min today to confirm that it went out, which thank goodness it did.
Crap! I just now realized that I messed up already. I was supposed to have nightly Cetrotide, and I thought it was e/o night, like the patches. 1 dose isn't going to matter, right? I'll email my nurse.

(((ilovecandy)))- I hope everything works out. grover- nice job to you too! Tough decisions about travel lately. We were contemplating a cruise this year but due to IVF costs we had decided to forego it. I hate having my life revolve around what ifs due to IF. If this IVF does not work we will be going to Croatia/Germany in June to visit H's family, but otherwise we are at a standstill in regards to any vacations.

That sounds like a great idea, Grover! You guys deserve a vacation. We're in a similar situation with a March trip planned, but we're cramming IVF in between two vacations (yes, my diamond shoes are tight ), so we'll play it by ear. I figure if IVF fails, I'm going to take full advantage of that fancy AI we booked!

Yep, Lupron. I start stims on 2/9 Â You should be coming up on CD1 soon, right?!
Eeeeeeeee, exciting! Do you take it morning and night? I was surprised when my nurse gave me that instruction. I'm going to be a complete pincushion!
Yes, just waiting for CD1. I somehow ovulated really late, I think, so who knows when that will be.
I know, I can't believe it's FINALLY happening! I take Lupron in the morning only and then add stims at night a week later. I hope CD1 shows up soon for you!
Ladies I think we've made a decision. After being very down the past month we went past my re's office today and I turned to dh and told him we needed to make a decision. About what we are doing because I'm struggling. I told him we didn't have to tall now but since it was an hour ride home we did. We agreed that since another Ivf cycle will be covered except for $3k or so in meds ( plus HGH ),its better then going for donor eggs and a Mich bigger expense. plus ivf is time sensitive and donor eggs are not. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. I'm calling my nurse today to talk to her. I'm planning to go all out with supplements and diet. We probably won't do anything until summer but I just feel better knowing what we are going to do.
Great news, starryfish ! Awesome job, @bigredgum !! Thats awesome! Have fun, kellikans ! I love Pearl Jam. I'm hoping to score tickets to see them at Fenway this summer.
I just got back from a 7 mile run. For the first Saturday in a while it wasn't snowing/raining/windy, so that was nice! DH's band has a show tonight and I'll probably just bum around until then. I need to finally get around to watching instructional videos on how to give myself injections, since they start tomorrow. Eek!

We went on our little weekend trip anyway, even though H is sick. It has been nice! Our hotel is right on the beach. We took a long walk earlier and we were drinking wine on the balcony after that. We had a huge breakfast this morning and we'll pick somewhere nice to go for dinner. I'm glad we decided to do this!
My boobs are super sore, which is of course a sign of pregnancy. Or AF. I'm going to test Monday morning. Beta scheduled for wed if I'm not bleeding by then.
Excited for you to start everything, scm1011. The sunshine feels great today!
Awesome job on the weight loss, ladies!
King26, I'm glad for you guys. I think the rationale makes a ton of sense. I'm really pulling for you!
Today is CD1 for me. We aren't doing our FET until next cycle because I'm traveling a lot of this cycle but I'm glad to be one step closer. I wasn't really sure if the CP would mess up my cycles but I'm right on schedule - quite a relief!

Mushe. I LOVE barre. I am not a work-out girl and I've been regularly going to barre classes for more than 3 years now. However, I do not go while I'm stimming. I am probably being overly cautious, but the abdominal twisting and turning plus the intense abdominal holds make me too nervous. My doctor agreed. BUT, definitely take advantage before/after your stims! King26 I am so happy that you and your H have made a decision. FWIW I think your reasoning makes sense, too. (((HUGS))) GL tomorrow starryfish and congrats on the new car! mpc I'm jealous of your mini beach vacay!
Thanks, Chrysanthemum! I haven't been to a class yet, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'll try to be good! My nurse said I could try some gentle yoga, but no twisting. I have a prenatal DVD, so maybe I'll try that. I could always use more stretching.
So, I'm just such an idiot about this stuff. It's 1 now and I didn't hear back from a nurse, so I just took the cetrotide dose that I missed last night. I figure better late than never, but ugh! Can't believe I did that. I was ordering from the road, and got it wrong on what I needed for Thursday/Fri. The pharmacy messed up yet again, though, because they sent me 4 instead of the balance of 3. I cannot believe what an awful experience I've had with them!

@king26- happy you two have come to an agreement. I have been all in from the diet front, and the first week sucks but it's not bad after that. Now enjoy your weekend with that weight off your shoulders. :-)
starryfish YAY for doing your IUI tomorrow! Glad you weren't cancelled. And awesome news buying the car! Congrats on the weight loss @bigredgum Mushe since it's early on I'm sure it won't make much of a difference. I'm sorry your pharmacy is sucking so badly. scm1011 and ilovecandy Good luck with your cycles and shots! Thanks janegold and I'm glad your cycles aren't messed up! Thanks Chrysanthemum
King26, I'm excited for you, to have made the decision to move forward! I'm definitely thinking of you as I go forward with the HGH. If it really makes a big difference, it'd be worth the OOP cost.
