I'm posting this as I'm on the way out the door to my ET!!!!!!!!!!   I'm excited and nervous all rolled into one. This cycle has been practically a mirror image to my first cycle and for that one we at least had one perfect 8 cell. So lets hope the similarities continue a little further!!

 

QOTD:  We dont get out much since DH is a police officer...but we did see the new Bond movie 'Skyfall' in theatres. We're more into the Netflix or OnDemand when we're actually home together. However, my friend was in town over Christmas and we saw 'This is 40' which was pretty good.

Good luck Kflynn!!I am also headed out to my ET soon. Out of my 3 embies, 2 are progressing "nicely". Transfer is at 11 AM. QOTD: I think Breaking Dawn 2 was the last movie I saw. I actually really liked it and thought it was way better than the other 3!

UPDATE: transfered one B embryo and one C embryo. Not the best quality but praying one sticks!

Just had an u/s this AM - waiting to get my blood test results back, but it looks like I may have to add additional estrogen (the patches in addition to the pills I am taking 3x per day).  No fun.  Otherwise, still on schedule for my FET later this month.

QOTD: We hardly go out to the movies, but I think the last time I went, I saw Hope Springs.  I liked it!
My TTC Journey:
Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea
Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). RE referral.
Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.
FET # 4 - 2 transferred on 3/28/13. Beta #1 (11dp5dt): 673; Beta #2: 1265. Just under 6 weeks - m/c at home. WTF appointment in late May.

Good Morning, Polar Bears! We've made it through another week, YAY! Today is day 3 of stims for me, and I go back Sunday for b/w & u/s. So far so good, besides the bruising spots on my tummy. I think it's my stomach saying a big FU to all these needles! And, the b/w lady last week literally blew through my vein, and I fully look like a battered wife. But, if this works, it's all worth it!

QOTD: I have seen a bunch of movies lately... Guilt Trip was very cute, and a really good laugh. I also really liked This is 40, but it was a little long. People are raving about Silver Lining, but It just wasn't for me. However, Bradley Cooper is not bad to look at! I really want to see the new Billy Crystal movie, Parental Guidance. Hopefully that will be a big night out this weekend or next, since I am not up for much else. 

Good Luck to all the Polar Bears!!!

I started stims on Tuesday, so I had my first monitoring appointment today.

She counted 12 follicles that are the same size and said there were lots more that might catch up. 

The bad news: they are smaller than normal. I had to stim 11 days last cycle and she said to expect the same for this cycle. I was hopeful, so I ordered one less vial of Gonal-F, but I broke down and refilled it this morning. Back on Sunday for another monitoring appointment!

QOTD: We went to see Les Mis. My husband loved it. I couldn't wait for it to be over. I can't be sad right now!

Hi Polar Bears! I'm triggering tonight and transfer will hopefully be next week Friday. After accidentally finding out that I only have 2 instead of 3 frosties I was feeling a bit down but I'm slowly getting my hope back. There has to be a good one among those two frosties, that has been my mantra lately.

QOTW: the last movie I saw in a real theater was Skyfall but we mostly watch movies at home on ap.ple tv.  I was outraged that we had to endure 1,5 hours of commercials before they finally started the movie and I could rest my eyes on Daniel Craig :).

Hi Polar Bears! I just got back from my baseline appointment and everything looks good - YAY!!!!! No cysts - I was boring she said, which is awesome and just what I wanted to hear. So if my b/w comes back good as well, I should be starting stims tonight! FINALLY getting this show on the road feels great!

QOTD: My husband and I saw Django Unchained in the theaters on Christmas. If you're a Tarantino fan, it's a must see. It was extremely disturbing in parts, but such a great movie and Christoph Waltz stole the show, I really hope he gets the best supporting actor Oscar. I would see the movie again just because of him - he's brilliant! 

ETA: Just got the call, I'm suppressed - YAY baby!!! And my AFC is 21, super exciting! I start stims tonight and have my first monitoring appointment on Tuesday morning. I'm really doing this!! :)

Good luck Kflynn!!

I am also headed out to my ET soon. Out of my 3 embies, 2 are progressing "nicely". Transfer is at 11 AM.

QOTD: I think Breaking Dawn 2 was the last movie I saw. I actually really liked it and thought it was way better than the other 3!

Awesome news! GL today!!

I am 3 days past 5day transfer. I feel great! No plans on testing. Beta or Bust!!!! QOTD: it is so rare that we go to the movies, I honestly can't remember the last movie I saw in the theaters.

I really hope this is it for you! And you're so strong! I'm totally going to be testing out my trigger and testing before my beta, so good for you!!!

JSM0801:

Good Morning, Polar Bears! We've made it through another week, YAY! Today is day 3 of stims for me, and I go back Sunday for b/w & u/s. So far so good, besides the bruising spots on my tummy. I think it's my stomach saying a big FU to all these needles! And, the b/w lady last week literally blew through my vein, and I fully look like a battered wife. But, if this works, it's all worth it!

QOTD: I have seen a bunch of movies lately... Guilt Trip was very cute, and a really good laugh. I also really liked This is 40, but it was a little long. People are raving about Silver Lining, but It just wasn't for me. However, Bradley Cooper is not bad to look at! I really want to see the new Billy Crystal movie, Parental Guidance. Hopefully that will be a big night out this weekend or next, since I am not up for much else. 

Good Luck to all the Polar Bears!!! 

So glad your ovaries decided to listen up and you were able to start stims!!

I'm 4dp5dt.  Wednesday I was not feeling great.  RE found some fluid in my abdomen and my bloodwork looks like I have mild OHSS.  I have been drinking lots of gatorade and feeling better the last couple of days.  I'm going in tomorrow to have the fluid tapped.  RE started me on Lovenox which I am not happy about at all.  I have been handling this process and side effects really well until now.  Before and after my first Lovenox shot was the first time I ugly cried during this cycle.  That thing hurts like a b-word. 

 QOTD: Last movie DH and I saw was "Guilt Trip".  We both really enjoyed it.

Hello Polar Bears! Looks like things are getting busy around here!

Best of luck to KFlynn and Jenn! 

Good luck to everyone starting stims and those in the 2WW

I had my u/s and bloodwork this morning.  This is day 8 of stims. Things are growing a little slower than last time, but I have more follies than last time :)  I have 4 follies around 13mm. There were a couple other ones under 10. At this point - I don't think those will catch up, but maybe it is still possible.  My E2 was 545, up from 243 on Wednesday.  My nurse said not to come back until Monday morning, and continue my 4 vials of Menopur/day. I am kind of surprised that they didn't want to see me Sunday.  How much do they expect follicles to grow each day? I am assuming if I go in Monday, I'll probably have my retrieval next Wednesday.

QOTW - We rarely go to movies at the theater. But the last one I went to was the Hunger Games! Loved it :)
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.

Hi all,

GL to those with ET today!! I just got back from my first u/s.  I've been stimming 4 days.  She said it's too early to tell anything, but she said my biggest follicle was 10mm and my estrogen level is 96.  I'm not sure if it's good or bad?!  Hoping for the best.   Another appt. on Monday!

QOTW:  Last movie I saw was Argo.  Not what I was expecting, but not bad.

Have a great weekend!
