There needs to be a like button option on here because I am liking and LOVING all these exciting updates ladies!!

Sounds like everyone is moving along! I'm excited to have an outlet through this cycle. After keeping the handful of family & close friends updated on every move with our 3 failed IUIs, we've decided to keep all details of our IVF cycle a secret, in hope if this does finally happen, we can still have a chance to surprise them.

What protocols are you ladies on? I'm waiting on AF late next week for my official ovarian reserve bloodwork results before I know for sure. (LONG story as to why this hasn't happened yet) But my nurse is betting based on everything else we do know that I'll be on an antagonist low dose hcg protocol.

Found out today I have a Vitamin D deficiency, so I can add one more drug/supplement to the mix! Never a dull or predictable moment in the IF journey!

Sending positive thoughts of relaxation, balance, & fertility to all of you!

Yay! It really sounds like peoples cycles are starting up soon!

LH, that's what you get for calling AF ugly, LOL. But rather early than late and having to wait around for her longer!

JVHOTR, will you start your protocol with this AF, but you just have to wait for the bloodwork to know 100% what you are doing?


Things are good with me. Lupron and I are starting to not get along already. Hot flashes started yesterday afternoon and I cried for no reason on my way home from work, and then started laughing like a crazy person because I knew crying for no reason was stupid. As long as the headaches stay away we will be good!

All good stuff happening around here YAY

Good luck with those meds ladies and if all goes well I should be joining you in 2 weeks!!!!!

I am so ready to get this party started :)

JV so many of us have low vitamin D. Mine is low even when I take a supplement and spend time in the sun.

I got a panicked voicemail from my nurse last night because apparently my doctor never noted in my chart that we're transferring 2 blasts this month so she thought I had to redo my consents. I'm expecting a call from her this afternoon to clear that up. Meanwhile - April is less than 2 weeks away!

kDeezy, glad your nurse is on top of stuff and gets panicked for you when something does not seem correct. Hope it all gets cleared up.

I feel lots of good things coming for all of us ladies!!!

LMWT: yes waiting for those labs before I know all the details. Long story, but I don't tolerate blood draws well so we have to space them out. So that combined with the fact my RE'S office is 2 & 1/2 hours away & there was some lag in communication on how & when to get them my blood, we missed our window to previously test. We aren't concerned though, I responded well, almost too well, during our IUI cycles. I'm anxious to get my schedule!

I keep saying I need a part time secretary to handle all this. I can't typically make or take phone calls at work. I rely on E-mail, but I think sometimes that gets pushed aside. I think I set my nurse straight that I'm high maintenance & expect full attention & I learned to ask things way in advance in case there is a lag in response time. ;)

Happy spring, hoping to soak in some vitamin d soon, after the record breaking cold winter in Wisconsin it is much needed!

I am with you on needing a secretary. I carry a copy of my calendar in my laptop bag so its with me at work and there is one on our desk at home. That way I can always look at it if I need. I also have a notebook with notes in it. I am always worried I will miss something.

Hope everyone has a great first weekend of Spring!! It will be in the upper 70s here tomorrow and then rainy and 50s on Sunday. At least we get one good yard work day!

Hey kDeezy, I am going to do a FET in April as well, somewhere between April 15th - 18th and I stared going back to acupuncture twice a week a few weeks ago. I am a firm believer that is helps achieve BFP's. 3 out of my 5 BFP's happened while I was getting 20 minutes sessions once a week! Good luck!! XO

Hi everyone! Joining in the April FET party! I am starting injections tonight and I am transferring 1 embryo on April 10th. My pregnancy test is going to be April 23rd and my hubby's bday is the 26th and I hope he gets the best gift this year!

Has anyone else looked at an FET due date calculator? I think if this works, my baby would be due on Christmas!

Bell and Sue, welcome to the group!!!

Bell, I think we are all on the verge of having an X-mas baby depending on when our transfers are and how many we end up with. And Just an FYI, As a December 29th baby, all I have to say is you are much better off having a Dec 25th baby (or earlier) than that week between Christmas and new years eve. It kind of sucks! Even my mom has forgotten to call me on my B-day in the craziness that that week can sometimes be.

Tonight is my last BCP and Lupron drops to just once a day tomorrow! My donors baseline is this week and mine is next week! Stims for her will start the end of next week, so this is finally feeling like we are moving forward!!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and is doing well!

We are all looking at December to early January babies!

I squared away the how-many-to-transfer confusion with my nurse, but I had to listen to a lecture about the possibility of quadruplets and selective reduction. I was like - really??? I can't even get pregnant with ONE, so I'm certainly not worried about four. I also had my first acupuncture on Saturday. It was so relaxing that I went home and took a 3 hour nap after which I never do! She was really knowledgable about fertility and endo, so hopefully this will help.

April is 8 days away you guys!!!!!!

Glad you got things straight with the nurse! If we were using my eggs again I would be transferring at least 3 but would probably push for 2! Don't worry about the lecture... they just feel obligated to do that. I got one when I said I refuse to do less than 1 even with DE.

So glad your acupuncture went so well and was so relaxing! Sounds like its money well spent!

So glad everyone is moving forward & getting closer!!!

So AF decided to arrive early for the big show!

I have been lightly spotting all day and hope to be calling the RE tomorrow with day 1! Meds have arrived and all are accounted for...this is really happening ahhhh!
