Week of 11/19

[seeyalater52]

Hi friends! What’s up this week?

icedcoffee good luck with your monitoring appointment this week. Hope everything is on track!

starryfish you should hear back soon about the IVF trial, right? Good luck!

[icedcoffee]

Thank you! I hope so too! I go in on Wednesday for monitoring and should start PIO on Thursday if everything looks good.

Other than that just working away. I have a nagging feeling SIL might announce she's pregnant at Thanksgiving. So that should be fun. LOL

[starryfish]

seeyalater52, i actually heard on Friday that I qualified for it! Now I am just on the list waiting to be called. They are super busy since they just started the trial. Hopefully i get called soon to start!

icedcoffee, GL this week!

seeyalater52, PRAYING that embryo is snuggling in!!!

My sister’s pregnancy continues to haunt me so I’m over here sans wine dodging her texts and refusing to go to my family thanksgiving. No fucking way am I going to hang with her pregnant ass if we get bad news this week, NOPE.

Sending you strength and wine!

Thank you! They said to expect a 2 month wait but it might go faster bc I was an established patient with their practice already.

Awww.  I'm sorry.  I know how hard it is.  My SIL announced her first pregnancy when I was on stims for my first IVF cycle.  "Hehe---we got pregnant the first month we tried".  I keep telling myself that I survived that and therefore I know I can survive it again.  My H doesn't understand why it would upset me.  Men.

I hope you get tons of happy news this week.

Holidays are the worst with IF. I probably could have rolled with my sister better if she hadn’t been so awful and minimizing about my loss and obsessed with how they also “struggled” to get pregnant (2 months after going off the pill she convinced her GYN to give her a giant dose of unmonitored clomid based on her “family history” of infertility, aka me, and she got pregnant her 4th cycle trying, 2nd month medicated.) It’s just too much to hear from her that I should be happy because they had trouble just like we did. I’m honestly not sure our relationship will recover. It’s not even so much that she’s pregnant, although that is hard too, it’s her inability to be even remotely sympathetic or sensitive to or reasonable about what we are going through vs what they went through.

Ugh--I would have trouble with that too.  When we told my SIL we had to go through IVF the first time her response was "Oh--cool".  I will never forget how cold and uncaring it felt.  It wasn't effing cool.  It was hard and painful!  Our relationship hasn't really been the same since.  

Last year at Thanksgiving she was bragging about how her entire pregnancy and delivery cost one $10 copay.  I sat and patiently listened for like 10 minutes at which point I basically lost it and screamed "My entire pregnancy cost me $30,000.  Can we change the subject? It's Thanksgiving".  

And WTF to a GYN who would give someone unmonitored clomid after 2 months?!?!

Isn't family great?  LOL

That’s rough and it sucks and I’m sorry. I’ve had relationship I know can never recover from If related stuff.

I’m sorry for your lost relationships too. Just one more shit angle on this whole infertility nonsense. The fun is truly never ending lol.

icedcoffee & 🍍🍊pineappleorange🍍🍊 fingers crossed for you both!

starryfish wonderful news! Hope you can get started soon!

No one knows we are struggling with IF but it was a punch in the gut this morning when my 22 yo niece, who married in July, announced she's due in June. I'm overjoyed for them but can't help but be a tad jealous. My DH doesn't get it, either. I AM thankful that our family has never once asked why we don't have children so we have never been subjected to insensitive comments. It's awful what some of you have heard from people who should be your strongest supporters

My surgery is scheduled for Dec 7 but I just realized I should be starting anywhere from Dec 5-8 so I sent an email to the nurse this morning. I was legit googling "can you have your period and a hysteroscopic myomectomy" at 2am last night and got nowhere. /facepalm So I'm waiting to hear back but am crossing my fingers we can either move it sooner or that they can go forward with it. I'm just so anxious to start IVF and this is standing in the way.

[msmerymac]

I totally yelled at my mom about how I have to drive all over the northeast to visit people for the holidays because no one will come to visit me because I'm infertile and will die alone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That kind of upset her.

Anyway, I scheduled my IVF orientation with my new RE today (got my blood work done on election day and mailed my paperwork in).

Last week I was in LA for my national television debut! It was super fun, but it would have been more fun if I'd won a ton of money to put toward IVF. H is going to see if his mom can give us some money for it (she's implied an offer before) and with our HSA account, insurance and care credit we should be able to piece it together. Sucks that our deductible resets in January, though!

[megstoo]

My body might actually be cooperating. After the last and final failed IUI I've had 1 cycle come on it's own (on time) and this one is getting ready to come by itself (also on time). This is unheard of because I have PCOS and I can go months and months and months with no period.

really only 1 more cycle after this and then its go time. It feels like forever but really the break will only be 3 months.

Our embryos made it to our new clinic last week. Now we are just waiting till my period starts next week to begin BC, and then we'll do a mock transfer soon. Planning for a early Feb FET at this point!

Good luck! I hope your spidey senses on her announcing are wrong, but if so sending all the virtual drinks and hugs I can!

Very cool! That’s a pretty quick turnaround.

[msmerymac]

I expected it to be 3-4 months. I was surprised.

I also auditioned in September and got called in October!

My show stars a friendly Canadian who was frequently impersonated by Will Ferrell.

[stellelinds25]

I'm still here in limbo...I sent an angry, but respectful email to my IVF nurse last week about my disappointment that we can't cycle this month and if we had known patient numbers would be so limited, we probably would have gone to a different practice and it feels like we're being punished for a failed cycle, etc. etc. I asked if there was someone I could talk to, to plead my case, see if an exception could be made (she isn't the one who makes those decisions and she has been seriously wonderful). I have heard NOTHING back. I'm so pissed right now. I'm going to forward my email to her again today with a "I didn't get a response..." I'm a week into the antibiotic for my endometritis and they wanted to do a biopsy after I was on it for 2 weeks to see if it's working...so, I'm going to play it off that way. I got my period on Wednesday, so I feel like even if they would have made an exception, it's probably too late now anyways because I don't have all my meds and I'm almost a week into my cycle. So we're most likely definitely out till the new year. I tried calling another practice in my area, but they didn't have any consult appts till mid-December. But honestly, I'm so fed up with my RE right now, I almost want to see someone else. But, I don't want to get pushed back any more than we already are.

That's my long, annoyed rant.

[icedcoffee]

I'm sorry stellelinds25. I would be super frustrated too and there's no reason for them to not respond to you.
