Baster BFNs...

Seems to be a few of us lately, unfortunately. Just wondering if you are doing anything fun..  Today I enjoyed a big ole cup of caffeinated Starbucks for breakfast, diet Pepsi with lunch, an all out heart pumping, can't hardly breathe workout, and now I'm on my second glass of Pinot noir.  Anyone else care to share? I am very sad but for some reason today's simple pleasures made me feel like me again:-)

I was a cross between the Patchers and the Basters, but a big old BFN.  Over Thanksgiving break, I had more coffee and cocktails that I'd care to count.  It was wonderful.  No workouts though, I commend you for getting back to the gym.  Tomorrow is my WTF appointment and where we map out the next cycle.  Til then CHEERS!

No commending needed. I didnt work out to better myself, unfortunately. I feel the need to somehow punish my body for not cooperating, so I work out too hard and too much until I feel better. I felt the same way after my loss and D&C last year. Gosh, sounds like I need a shrink, not a treadmill....

Now that we're headed down the m/c road, the few things on my list that I'll be slightly happy to partake in are in no particular order: sushi, regular old caffeinated coke, and sex. Hah. Ready to give up the vag meds for a few weeks too.

Saw RE April 2012 due to irregular cycles, Dx'd PCOS (normal weight)
Clomid 50mg, 100mg, then Femara 7.5, no response after 7 cycles

New RE; Begin IVF September '12: Lupron, Gonal-F, Ovidrel trigger
14 days of stims, ER 9/30/12 (17 eggs, 12 fert)
ET 10/5/12, single blast transfer, 6 frozen
Home Digi 10/13 (8dp5dt): BFP! Beta 1: 11, Beta 2: 10 = chemical preg :(
FET #1 single embryo transfer: 11/10/12
5dp5dt:BFP! Beta 1- 122; Beta 2- 160; Beta 3- 202; Beta 4- 276
Poor prognosis, U/S inconclusive, 11/27 stopped all meds
12/12/12 - hcg mid 40s, MTX shots; 12/24/12 - hcg same, 2nd MTX shots;
1/23/13, hcg finally at zero. Blood work shows abnormal NK cell activity, but holding off on treatment this cycle

When I found out, my sister came over, cooked us comfort food and between the 3 of us we killed a few bottles of wine. I've been indulging in some of the holiday flavors at Starbucks too.  I've gotten back on the treadmill too. We purchased one so now that it's in our house there's really no excuse.

Not much to do until I start meds for a FET in Jan. Which seems a really really long way away.
