Summer Board 2011

[WndrGrl]

Everyone I need help with a new blog name. I have a blog that I update but the title is "futuremrss." I did it before I was married to keep my family (out of state) up to date on the plans and such.

Well now I want to start blogging about our TTC struggles and hopefully the future of our family. I need help...what should I use as my address? Title?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Ladies I would like to join your group. I just got my ok to proceed for 3rd FET which will be on June 10th. I am currently on BCP until the 22nd of May. Sunday the 15th I start my Lupron injections. Once I get my period I can go in for my baseline b/w and u/s. Its been a rough last 3 months for me. I had 3 endrometrial biopsies done and each time the results came back with inflammationa due to plasma cells, so I basically been on antibotics since Jan. Thank God my last biopsy came back with good results. (thank God it came back ok, because these biopsies were so PAINFUL for me that if this last time would of come back inflammation again I was ready to give on on having a baby.) So here I am ready to begin my journey. I am hoping this time it works. We are transferring 2 grade A emb. When the RE tells me I will be taking Estrodial tablets/prometrium tablets/crinone supp./doxycycline and medrol.

Hey all!
It will take me a bit to get everyone straight!

I have a preliminary protocol and should be starting my lupron in about 2 weeks. They told me not to purchase drugs yet until the dr decided which dosage of stim drugs to use. So technically I'm on my bcp to start IVF. The bcp are messing with me a bit. Headaches, cramping, hot flashes, etc.. and I haven't hit the fun part yet!

[CINNYMON1]

I am starting to get really nervous. My first appointment for F.E.T. is June 14th. I am just anxious to get started. Good luck to all of us on this journey.

[CINNYMON1]

Than ks Sunshine1576 for the "at a glance" on where everyone is in their cycle. You are AWESOME!!!

AF came yesterday. I think this is the first time in a few years that I've been excited to see her haha. Called the doctor and I go in this afternoon for my blood draw. Just waiting to hear back from our IVF coordinator to get an exact schedule of things now. I start my bcp tonight. I sent J a text that said "Ahh it's real now!"

[brit1612]

Welcome JC!

Wndrgrl- Maybe something about "infertility journey".

[CINNYMON1]

Hey WndrGrl -
What about, Futuremommie (is that taken??)

TGIF Happy Weekend Everyone!

Fridays have become "off days" from work, so this afternoon was spent the beach accomodated w/ a nice seafood dinner with dh. Some friends asked us to meet them for an outdoor concert tonight, but since the thunderstorm was so bad we called it the night. A good decision since our 4-legged children, Blackjack and Vegas needed attention--well maybe one labrador needed more attention then the other, because when we got home some bags of birdseed and potting soil was torn into and all over the garage. lol Vegas throws temper tantrums, something about thunder scares her and she has to come inside, but tonight we managed to keep her out in the garage. Yet I don't know how long the door frame is going to hold up...

Anyway, I wanted to check in and send out some personals too. Wndrgrl, IT IS for real now....we are getting things cooking!
I am so excited that our board is growing too and appreciate everyone helping me keep our list updated where we can see "everyone at a glance." Cinnymon1 I know what you mean about getting nervous, that is completely the same way I get. I try not to count the days down but cannot help it, now I'll be counting days with you too! Thanks girls for your comments and if we can do anything to make it better here, please chat me in. I feel like we are in this journey together and look forward to sharing every step of the way with you! Sunshine1576

HI Ladies,
Thank you for welcoming me to your group.

Blueeyedreamer: I am feeling the same way as you with these BCP this time around. I thought I was going crazy everyday I was feeling sick to my stomach, dizzy, headaches and cramping like I was getting my period, even though I just had it. I called the RE, he told me my problem was probably cause I started a new BCP, one I never took before. But if it got really unbareable to call him and he would change it.

Sunshine: thanks for the at a glance it really helps to keep everyone in order. Your the best. Love your dogs names, besides the fact I love going to Vegas my neighbor has a lab/pit and she calls her's Vegas also.

Cinnymom1: June 4th will be here before you know it. Try and relax. I know its easier said than done. But we are all in the same boat and here for each other.

ASM: Lupron starts tomorrow morning. Hope they don't make my BCP headaches worse.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend

[WndrGrl]

Thanks everyone for the blog names! Appreciate it

Took my first bcp last night. I had to laugh. Here I am taking bcp when we are trying to get pregnant. J is gone until next Friday teaching so it's just me & the animals at home. Today I went and saw Something Borrowed and looked for a cover for my new kindle.

I had my day 2 bloodwork yesterday. I only have a little bit of a bruise. Our IVF coordinator called me yesterday and said my husband has to get bloodwork as well. HA! Finally he has to get a needle!

Everyone else having a good weekend?
