Kewpie - thanks for starting the Spring Thread!!!  Hope you are doing well!!!

Keria - Keep us posted on how your appt goes tomorrow!!!! 

Missme - thinking of you and hoping all is going well with your ET!!  Keep us posted.

Lyndi - Glad you are still feeling good and your E2 numbers are still at a really good place.  Keep us posted!  I''m really excited for you and Missme to bring us some BFP soon!!!!  We sure need some positives here!!!

AFM - just ordered my meds for my FET to come on Wed and I need to schedule my 1st U/S hopefully on Thurs morning, but won't be able to do that until tomorrow.   We will see.  Hope everyone else is doing good.

[Kewpie80]

Blue - Ordering meds sure makes it more real, doesn't it?  We'll be getting ready to do that for our fresh one in about 2-3 weeks.  I need to schedule my SIS tomorrow too.

[rcr]

hi all- just posting so that I get notifications.

[CassnBeth]

I am watching everyone's stim protocols and egg retrievals with fascination. Sorry for the lack of personals; I turn out to have pneumonia for the second time this winter. Now I'm living in fear that my RE is going to want to cancel this cycle.

[missme]

Kewpie - Thanks for starting the spring thread. My Beta is on March 25, if you want to add it to the first page. xoxo

[Kewpie80]

cassnbeth - Oh NO!!  I hope you feel better soon.  How awful!

Missme - You're all updated now. 

[rcr]

Cass - My RE told me that the reason that they cancel cycles is because a high fever can impact egg quality, but if you are sick without a fever than you should be ok. Have you had a fever? Hope you feel better soon.

Blue  - my IUI meds are being ordered today too (actually I ordered them last week, but they are not sending them until today because I wanted to wait until we got paid on Friday). It does feel nice to order drugs. I am weirdly excited to get my box. I hope I will be able to just donate them to somebody who doesn't have infertility insurance, if this natural cycle worked. Doing injectibles for IUI used to scare me, until I did IVF. Now it is no big deal at all.

Kewpie - you can probably delete be from the lists above, since my IVF is over now. Maybe you can add me back to gathering info? Not that I am gathering info- I am just waiting. Maybe you could add "waiting" to the gathering into/funding list (we have all the info and funding we need, we are just doing a few natural cycles and iui's until we do IVF again)?

Lynd and Missme - thinking of you.

[BellyBean]

Missme,  I am really hoping for your BFP!  It's my DH's Birthday, so maybe that can be his wish :)  Since it's so far after your transfer of blasts will you POAS before that?

Kewpie, can you remove my transfer and test information since we don't have new dates yet.  It will probably be in late April, but I'll update when it firms up.  Thanks for starting the Spring thread!

Lyndi, good luck this week!

AFM, still spotting with horrible cramping...boo, and now I have some sort of stomach bug...big boo! 

[rcr]

Sorry Belly. And getting sick too! Hugs to you.

Missme - that is the day after my birthday and the same day we conceived DS. If AF does not show up by my bday, I am going to test that day.

[blueyezz4]

rcr - my fingers are crossed that get to give those meds away!!  I waited until total last min to order mine b/c I wanted to make sure AF showed up and I wasn't wasting my own money.  I hope you get a great B-day present.  It is totally one of those things where you don't want to get your hopes up too high, but you want to try to keep thinking positive.  I totally know the feeling. Hope you got your meds today!!! Keep us posted.

Belly - so sorry to hear you are getting a bug!  Yuck!  Hope you feel better soon. I'm sure all this stress isn't helping at all either.  Hope you can rest and relax!  Take care.

Cass - So sorry to hear you have pneumonia!!  Are you on antibiotics?  Hope you can get lots of rest too and up your fluids too!!  Those are "Dr. Blue's" orders.  LOL!!!

Missme - How are you feeling girl???

Kewpie - What's going on with you?  Are you just on BCP right now???  What is your next step?  Oh i think you said SIS?  Why do you have to have one of those again or didn't you have one before?

AFM - My baselline U/S is scheduled for 7:30am on Thurs morning!!!  If all is clear there, I'll start stims on Thurs night CD5.  Kinda excited to get things going.

[Keria]

Blue  great about your FET did you decided if you are going to trasfer 2 or 3?

My appoinment yesterday went ok sort of, she saw "something"  in my endometrium that was not supposed to be there, she said it coud be a blood clot from AF or something else she dilated my cervix (ouch) to see if it comes out and I started  my stims yesterday I have my next u/s on friday if they can still see something in the endometrium we'll cancel the cycle and do a hysteroscopy to remove it if not go ahead with the IUI. I wonder if that something was there before and it was what made the baby not stick, either way if this IUI does not work I'm getting a hysteroscopy anyways to make sure everything is fine.

Mismee fingers crossed for you are you ging to poas?

[Kewpie80]

Belly bean - Double boo!  I hope you feel better soon.

Blue - I had one with my last cycle already.  I guess they do it before each one at my clinic?  I'm NOT looking forward to it.  Yeah, I'm just doing BCP at the moment.  After I have my SIS, then the coordinating nurse is supposed to call me and let me know when to order my meds.

SO excited for you to start stims finally!  wahoo!

Keria - Oh, I hope it's nothing to worry about!!!

Missme - How you feeling?

[julieven]

I am new to this forum, but not new to infertility (secondary). I have been lurking since an unexpected miscarriage at 12 weeks after a successful first IVF in September. We have four frozen day 5 embryos and it looks like we will be proceeding with a FET this spring.

[Kewpie80]

Welcome Julieven!  I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  Many of us have been there and can lend an ear if you need us.  

Would you like me to add you to our list at the top of the page?

[BellyBean]

I am sorry everyone, I can't do personals today.

The cramping got so bad yesterday and last night I went to the ER.  Dr. Blue was right, I was pregnant.  With the pain and the negative beta after my cycle, once I got a positive urine test there it was obvious to me it was ectopic.  Of course they needed to do their due dillegence and after 7 hours of testing/ultrasounds and waiting they finally rushed me to the OR.  Since it was 4 weeks post transfer, it had ruptured my tube, blood was filling in my stomach, and both the tube and baby had to be removed.  It's my first loss, and I am taking it really hard.  Not sure how it kept growing once I stopped the progesterone, but he/she was certainly a little miracle.  They took some pictures during surgery and one you can see the perfect profile of the baby in the tube...so sad.  Had to cancel our vacation since we were leaving tomorrow.  I just got home, but haven't slept since Sunday, so I really need a nap.

Best wishes and baby dust to all!

[Kewpie80]

Bellybean - Big hugs!     That is crushing news.  I know nothing will take the pain away, but know that I am very sorry.  

[Silverbird]

Hi all,

Sorry to be MIA, just mega busy with work, illness, birthdays etc.  Anyway just wanted to do a quick post so you know not worry about me if I'm not about much.  No real fertility news with us anyway just me waiting for my op in aug and the possiblity of dh's useless spinal doctor doing rectal stimulation with him.

Anyway I stalk when I can and think of you guys often and remeber you all in my prayers.

I won't do a whole bunch of personals as I can't remember whats happenign with everyone but  to you poor belly bean what dreadful news and you to keria on you BFN.  And good luck to missme in your tww, to blue and all strating on your cycle and to all in genral.

Silverbird

[Keria]

Oh belly I'm so sorry,.

[blueyezz4]

Belly -  OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry!!!!!!    I can't even believe it.  I don't even know what to say to you right now and I know nothing at all can even help the pain and sadness that you are going through.  I truly wish I could be there with you to give you a hug and let you cry on my shoulder as I cry with you!!!  Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  Be sure to take care of yourself and know that we are all here for you.  Man!  This so bums me out! 

Julieven - Welcome!! I hope your stay here is short.  You say your doing a FET in the Spring does that mean like next month or when do you think you may start?  Glad you are joining us, even though I truly wish we were all meeting on a due date club instead.  Keep us posted.

Silver - glad to hear from you.  What do you mean an "OP"??
