I'm technically starting my stims tonight. I specifically picked last night to start because I'd avoid having my first monitoring appt. on NYD, but apparently my RE's office doesn't allow cycles to start before today/tonight. So...guess tonight I'm starting stims and will have my 1st appt. on NYE a day early. They checked my Vitamin D and it was low (not surprised) so we'll be adding that to the nightly handful of supplements!!

 

QOTD: Normally I don't make Resolutions because I don't keep them. This year, I'd say lets not call it a Resolution list but I have a list of things I'd like to accomplish. I'd like my MIL to teach me to crochet...MH to teach me some more German before his relatives visit in 2014...I'd like to read at least 50 books...and take better care of myself, like manicures/pedicures more routinely (that will be an easy one,LOL)

Meds came in yesterday; started Lupron last night! 

QOTD:  I do the typical "lose weight" one.  I don't usually stick to it for long, which is why I have to make it again every year.  I'm also making a resolution for us to eat better (as in more organic/less processed) and to pay off more debt and build up more savings.  Also, hoping to get a house, but I don't know if I consider that a "resolution".

Please add me in: I started Lupron yesterday am, they have me taking it twice a day, so far so good.

QOTD: I agree with pp, I do the "lose weight and start eatting better" resolution every year. I have been so busy lately, I haven't even thought about this years yet. If I come up with anything good, I will come back and post it :)

 I forgot to add: this is my 1st IVF cycle, I have been on BC for weeks now, started Lupron yesterday, will start stims on Jan 9th, with tentative ER on Jan 20th. I think thats it for now.

Good Morning all :)

Started stims last night.. Had a freak out and bawled my eyes out because I'm so sick of the needles, so I had my DH do it for me... Still doing a decreased Lupron dose in the a.m and stims at night. What fun! BW sched for 12/31 and u/s a few days later to try and plot out ER date.

QOTD: NY resolution... usually stick to them for the most part, but this year, it will be to try and stay calm so I don't drive myself and my DH bananas!

I am done wit BCP and set up for starting follistim and menepur on Sat.

I am not big on resolutions. I am going to try really hard to not complain about physical symptoms of pregnancy when it happens but I am a wimp about pain. I am just going to keep my mind on the end result.

I just received an e-mail with a tracking number...my meds are almost here. Will arrive by 3pm today! It's getting real!  I have 4 more bCP pills left to take. Baseline appt 1/3! 

 

Those of you who are experienced IVFers: my RE had me start my bcp's when I was right smack in the middle of ovulating.  It felt weird, but he promised me it was OK. For IVF #1 I started on CD 6 at the end of my AF.  Before I started bcp's my expected AF arrival was 12/27...for the past few days I have been spotting like it was going to come anyway, which made me worry that the bcp's weren't suppressing me.  now the spotting has stopped and it looks with AF won't come.  Think this is OK? Hoping 1/3 will show I'm ready for stims!

 

New Years Resolution:  To pray more and become closer with God. To depend more on Him during this IF journey.  (I know it is a typical "Sunday School" answer, but I am going to really try!   Also, to quit caffeine (since I will be doing stims and will be pregnant soon after!!!) :)))

Tonight will be my 3rd night of Lupron. I was dreading the extra week of shots this round, but the Lupron has been a piece of cake!

QOTD: I also always do the "lose 5 lbs" for my resolution, but screw the 5 lbs and the gym this year while going through ivf. I am a very healthy eater and really good about the gym, so I'm trying to just embrace the "not allowed to exercise" for awhile. Hopefully the weight gain will all be worth it in the end. Can getting KU be a resolution? :) 

 Wishing you all a happy healthy 2013! May this be our year!!!

Started my lupron injections this morning, on those for the next two weeks or so and then I'll start hormone replacement.

 QOTD- I don't normally make a resolution for the mere fact that I never keep them.  IF has really made me not feel so attractive so I'm hoping to turn that around and feel confident again. A friend and I are also joining weight watchers together so we can root each other on.


* Me- 32 * DH- 32 * TTC for 4 Years

I had my SHG and mock transfer yesterday, and let me just say I was terrified! I had one back in July before my first IVF and it was the most horrible, excruciating procedure of my entire life. I couldn't walk for over ten minutes afterwords because the cramping was so intense.

The SHG/Mock was with a new RE and I'm happy to report that it was a breeze and didn't hurt at all. AND to make matters even better, he said my ute looks PERFECT and he's very optimistic! To hear a doctor say anything that glowingly positive about my lady parts is such a foreign concept since my ovaries have sucked so bad. He said we look great to proceed with the FET and I will start Lupron next week. I'm so relieved that there were no polyps, that it didn't hurt, and we are moving forward!

QOTD: I haven't really thought much about it, but since I just started a blog documenting our Embryo Adoption journey, perhaps I'll try to make a resolution to stick to it and post regularly.

GL to all of my fellow polar bears - 2013 is going to be our year!


Me (31) DH (35) - Finding our path to baby #1

I had another monitoring appt this am.  There are fifteen follies at 12mm or bigger and at least 6 little ones.  They asked me to drop my Menopur from 150 to 75.  I continue Follistim at 300 and Ganirelix.  Today, I let myself feel hope for the first time in a long time.  

QOTD: No resolutions really.  I just wanna be KU!

My only goal right now is to keep my stress levels low...I've never really been big on new year's resolutions.  I also found out that my Vit D levels are very low...woo hoo I get to take MORE pills! :)

It will actually be my 3rd attempt at fet1. I go in for my follow up after my hysteroscopy and finishing antibiotics from a inflamed cervix on jan 8. Hopefully I will be able to start meds then. So it's still a good possibility I could be a polar bear. I will update after my follow up on the 8th. Thanks for letting me hang out before its official, good luck to the other polar bears.
I never make resolutions but this year I have a New Years wish, to get pregnant and not loose my marbles getting there.

Hi ladies!! Way late to check in here. Sunday mornings monitoring appointment showed that stims are working and things are growing well in my ovaries. I have 17 follies on my right and 14 on my left. I had about 6 on each side that were between 14 and 16mm, and my lining was at 12mm. Appointments are now everyday until trigger.

Still on BCP's here. My baseline is next week.

 

My thoughts are too consumed with IVF to think about New Year resolutions. All my goals at this point are baby-related (health, fitness, saving money, etc.)

IVF #1 Sep '11 canceled
IVF #2 Nov '11 chemical
IVF #3 April '12 M/C
FET #1 Aug 2012 BFN

There is nothing new for me. I was supposed to do a long Lupron, but I don't think that is happening now. My HCG levels are still flippin' positive. I hope next week they will finally be negative. Once they are we can go ahead with the Sono and I will probably start Lupron on the 6th. Other wise I may end up being cancelled.... :/

We did do pgs testing. I'll probably do a separate post about those results.

 

New years resolutions, I don't normally make one, I just say that I will try my best to be kind and make the best of what's dealt to me through the year.
