ceemonkey - Congratulations on your beta, and I am crossing my fingers they keep rising and you get your take home baby.

As for me, I am on evil BCPs and will add lupron injections on Sunday. I am supposed to get my official calendar emailed to me any minute now and I'll get the date for my transfer. Tomorrow morning I go in to sign consent forms and do injections training. I insisted I didn't need it having been through IVF before, but they are making me and my husband go in anyway. Oh well.

QOTW: I usually have the goal to lose weight, but I really want to keep the pressure off of myself and just focus on eating healthy in general. A more measureable goal is to be to stay on top of my new blog.

Good luck to everyone, and Happy New Year to you all.

**ticker warning**

Ceemonkey- congrats and FX on rising betas!!

 Update- This is my first graduate post.  Woo hoo!!  I'm in week 6, my first u/s is on Friday.  So far, everything is looking good in my hormone checks, so hopefully the u/s will also be good!  The m/s hit me Monday.  On one hand, I'm glad to be getting typical symptoms, but the m/s sucks!! Oh well, I'm really trying to not complain. :-)

QOTW - No resolutions.  I'm just trying to stay positive that 2013 is going to be a great year!

Good luck to everyone cycling or in the 2ww!

Congrats Cee, I hope those numbers keep going up!

I have no clue what we're doing, we're meeting with our RE tomorrow to talk about IVF with OE or DE and I made an attempt to convince my husband we should scrap it all and look at adoption instead but he's not biting. He wants to do IVF and hold off on adoption for a while. Easy for him to say, he doesn't have to get stuck with all those needles -_-

I have a resolution to lose 25 pounds. I've been following the eating plan from my naturopath pretty closely and working out almost every day and the scale just won't budge. It must be broken right??? WTF.

I started on estrogen yesterday and will begin BCP in February. I just posted a thread on my IVF protocol earlier this week, but it's also on my blog (see siggy).

As far as New Year's resolutions...I'm going to cut out soda/caffeine completely. I have to do it for IVF, so why not start now? I'm also going to try and eat clean as much as possible. Today's lunch was spinach, tomato, avocado, lemon juice and pepper. It's actually pretty tasty. I also want to be more productive at work and get to work early.  Good luck ladies!

Hi ladies, happy New Year!

Update: I got my 3rd beta last Thursday and it had gone up to 282! So they told us congrats so I guess I am officially pregnant? We are "cautiously optimistic" - I still never had a +HPT so for some reason it still doesn't seem real. I am 5w3d and my u/s will be on 1/14/13 so I am trying to not go crazy before then.

QOTW: Last year I resolved to lose the weight I had gained since finding out about our IF in 2010. I lost 30 lbs and started exercising more regularly. This year I want to continue with my exercise, although probably to a lesser extent, and just live as healthy as possible.

Cee- so happy to read about your positive beta!! Fx'd for you that it continuesto go well:-)

 Me- I start lupron tonight for our very last DE cycle and my baseline is 1/11. Feeling a combo of peace and apathy. I am ready to be done and will accept  whatever the universe decides for us. 

Resolutions: getting the IF weight off and being peaceful with life and changes. I just got laid off (today is my first official day home). I have a good severance so I am "resting" for a little bit and then will figure it out. DH and I are going to sell our current house and move 45 mins north back to DH's hometown.  A year of changes and accepting I have no control.

Update: my IVF cycle ended in a chemical pregnancy. We are devastated of course and have a low egg count which means zero frosties. We will have a WTF appointment on Tuesday with our RE. I know we will cycle again, just don't know when. We have even considered going to Czech Republic where it is less expensive an at least we would get a vacation out of it! Anyone heard any stories on this option?

QOTW: get back on the workout train! IF puts that on hold and it has always been a big part of my life. Focus on my DH and I and getting back to enjoying life.

TTC since: July 2011 Dx: DOR/ High FSH Me: 29 DH: 33 Medicated IUI Cycle #1 = BFN 9/3/12 Laparascopy/Hysteroscopy 9/13/12 Medicated IUI Cycle #2 = BFN 11/2/12 IVF Cancelled 11/7/12 due to low AFC IVF Cycle 12/2

Happy New Year Ladies,

Congrats to you Ceemonkey!  What a great way to start off the year.  Can't wait to hear about your ultra-sound.

Yay Baker - glad things are coming along for you. I hope your m/s isn't too terrible!

Mrs. McIrish - sending positive vibes your way.

 

Good luck to everyone starting their cycles. 

I am just waiting for AF so I can start my next round. I am anxious to get started. Although I am not overly excited since I know we are freezing my eggs. So the actual embryo transfer is still a few cycles out.  The waiting has been really hard.

 QOTW - I don't usual make "resolutions" but do like to have a clean fresh start to make better nutritional choices, exercise more often, etc. :)


Me:38 - TTC for 3+years - Multiple failed IUIs (w/clomid, femara,injectibles - all BFNs) IVF #1 - Jan 2012, CP -IVF#2 March 2012, CP - Went back to IUIs all summer. Multi-Cycle Egg banking for FET. Egg retrieval #1 October, 2 frosties. Retrieval#2 January 2013. 6 eggs banked - waiting to be fertilized in March, FET March! FET - cancelled because zero eggs survived thaw process. April IUI, BFP - Beta #1 - 43, Beta #2 - 78, Beta #3 dropped, another CP. May IUI with Femara.

Status: bfn on iui1, starting cycle 2 with monitoring on Saturday morning....

New Years resolutions: I didn't make any official ones, but I did commit to going wheatfree for the rest of January when we are back from
Our holiday.

Low AMH, AFC - 6, Normal FSH, SS-A (RO) Antibodies (Autoimmune issues), tubes clear

IUI# 1 - December 19 - Done too early (24-36hrs before Ovulation) - BFN

IUI# 2 - January 16 - Femara + HCG trigger - BFN

IUI# 3 - March - 150-225iui Puregon, stimmed 16 days with only 1 follicle - nearly missed surge so no trigger - Progesterone - BFN.

IUI # 4 - "Pokey-Pokey" April 9 - 100mg Clomid CD 3-7, HCG Trigger + Progesterone - 2 follicles! IUI done after one O'd and before the 2nd one did. - BFN

...Moving on to trying to get my Partner pregnant with donor sperm. Hoping to come back and try with me, or do IVF with my DP's eggs eventually. My nerves are too frazzled for now

Hi everyone!

 

Congrats ceemonkey and baker!!

I finally got AF and now will do one more natural cycle before IVF 1.2. Hate the waiting!

 

I usually make a whole list of resolutions-aspirations really. This year I want to spend less time on Facebook ( the amount of baby announcements puts me in a bad mood most days), get into a job I love, keep in better touch with friends, worry less/enjoy more. DH said his only resolution was to have a baby!


Me:30 low AMH; DH:30 MFI (count, motility, morphology) 2 rounds clomid 100 mg -BFN IUI#1- 25 mg clomid- July 2012= BFN! IUI #2 August = BFN! IUI #3 September = BFN! IVF #1 November - converted to IUI #4 due to poor response = BFN IVF #1.2 February- converted to IUI #5 due to poor response = BFN IVF #1.3 April- micro dose Lupron flare with HGH; 14R, 13M, 11F! Transfer of 1 day 5 blast on 4/30, 4 frosties. BFP! Beta #1 9dp5dt= 179; Beta #2 11dp5dt= 442. Stick baby stick!! *trying to keep hope* Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Hi everyone, waiting for AF to start this weekend to start BCP's, no idea when Lupron is starting yet, starting stims on 2/1 and ER scheduled for week of Feb. 11th.  Soooo nervous and starting to freak out that this is actually happening.  Downloaded an IVF meditation from itunes and trying to listen to that several times a week.  Also just scheduled my first acupuncture appointment for next week.  My RE has one there for before and after the ER/ET but I want some extra needles in the weeks prior. :)  

QOTW:  I actually have not made a resolution but I'm thinking to try to take one day at a time and only worry about the next 24 hours.  This is going to take a miracle. :)  


Me (37) DH (39); Finally correctly diagnosed with DOR in 2012; Started TTC 2009; RE 2009/2010- RE cycle #1 clomid+ ovidrel + TI = BFN; RE cycle #2 clomid + ovidrel + TI=BFN; RE cycle #3 femara + ovidrel + IUI= BFN; RE cycle #4 75iu follistim + ovidrel + IUI= BFN; RE cycle #5 150iu follistim + ovidrel + IUI = BFN ; Took a break and had Weight loss surgery in 2011, back to new RE in 2012 ; AMH 0.43 IVF #1 /ICSI and AH; MDL protocol - ER 2/11 5R, 3M, 2F Three day transfer of 8 cell grade 3 and 8 cell grade 2 embryos. BFN. RPL testing shows homo MTHFR and hetero PAI-1. IVF #2 antagonist-ER 5/14 8R 6M 5F. Three day transfer of 3 embies. 6 cell grade 3, 4 cell grade 2, 5 cell grade 3. Hoping and praying.

Hi, I'm a reg on TTGP but I've been lurking for the past month or so but would like to be added if thats ok.
I don't know what kind of info people normally give for their first post but H and I are both 27, I had a chemical pregnancy in April, and got diagnosed with DOR last month. My RE is also suspecting I have some sort of genetic syndrome (that might be the cause of the DOR or maybe not) based on my medical history so I have an appointment with genetics later this month to find out if they feel further genetic testing is necessary. 
We switched insurance on January 1 to get some IF coverage and hopefully the dates will work out for us to do our first Clomid + trigger + IUI + booster cycle starting this month. 
QOTW: I make resolutions but am not always amazing at keeping them. This year my goal is to be more consistent with strength training and to pay more attention to current events because I feel woefully misinformed.

Congrats Ceemonkey and baker!!!
GL to those cycling!
Mrs. McIrish enjoy your time off. I hope you find something that is a good for for you soon!

Update: I'm getting the motions started to cycle one more time with my eggs this year. I'm going to do ivf locally this time. It's too much of a hassle doing ivf oot! So I'm waiting for out my medical records and then getting a consult.

QOTW: I have so many goals I want to meet, I've decided my resolution is being the best me I can be. Cheesy, I know!

Congrats Cee & baker!  FX that your u/s show strong heartbeats!

 Mrs. McIrish...  praying this is it for you!  So sorry about the lay off... did you know it was coming?

I start my patch tomorrow.  I'm feeling very anxious knowing this is our last cycle with my OE....  Feeling so stressed.  I almost feel like I should just cancel this cycle because I don't feel any optimism at all.  Have started researching adoption agencies online. 

Praying all of us have great news to share in 2013!

QOTW... no resolutions.  Just trying to keep eating healthy and walk as much as I can!

I would like to join this check in, if that's ok. :)  With my low AMH I suspected DOR, but my RE only recently officially said it.

My history is in my siggy, but for a quick recap: BFP after 8 months of trying, ended in m/c, followed by a c/p.  Testing showed mediocre SA for MH, low AMH and Septate Uterus for me (likely cause of m/cs) which was repaired with a Hysteroscopy.  3 failed IUIs and 1 failed IVF later, my RE has recommended we go back to IUI, but this time with Injects.  I just had an HSG yesterday, and my tubes are clear, so we're good to proceed with the IUI!

QOTW: I feel like I make resolutions every year, but they rarely make it the whole year.  This year it's to eat healthy and exercise (and thus lose weight).
