Summer Board 2011

[Sunshine1576]

Cannot sleep, I'm still torn about our next step. Last night dh also mentioned we could use our tax refund next Spring to pay off our credit card, IF we do decide to go for another iui, I mean it's 2,500.00 v/s 17,000 which seems small in comparision to the IVF cost. But at the same time, for June's iui cycle I wasn't too impressed with my clinic's monitoring (only 3 appts) and no bloodwork was done at all. Maybe ghost is right the only way we can get the best service is if we spend more money, but that seems so unfair to those who have to pay upfront for everything. Tough call but it has to be made today.

Dreams, keep those HPT's coming, you are in the right direction!

Akdelp - About the mucus - I had it starting on the 3dp5dt. Sorta reminded me during a regular cycle and the lighter amount that came right before I would get AF. I think that it is normal so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Enjoy your vacation (although it may be stresful & hard) because it is a great chance to get away and relax. Thanks also for the 10 day advice on the trigger shot!

Dreams - CONGRATS on the BFP! Thank God this has happened to someone else! I just told my husband yesterday, it is just like I am going to strat my period! Hopefully I get the same outcome as you! I am going to start testing tomorrow...I know it's early, I just can not wait.

Sunshine - that is a very hard decision.

Congrats Dreams!!!!!

Ladies,
I am so excited! I just got a phone call from my new clinic and our consultation has been moved up to tomorrow, 6/29! Cannot wait to meet our new RE and even get started on treatment earlier then August!

[MaTina LI]

Sunshine - So sorry to about your BFN. I hope your consultation with your new RE goes well and hope you really feel comfortable with him/her. I wish you all the best!

Wishing - Hope you are feeling a little better today; hope the headaches are getting better. Time off with your feet in the sand is definitley the best way to try to relax. I hope your FET goes well on 7/21. We might be very close in our FET dates...

Dreams - Congrats on your BFP!! That is wonderful news!! Good Luck on your Beta#!!!

AFM - Not much to report. I had the watersono (injsect saline into the uterus to make sure everything is ok) and no issues. Just waiting for my July AF which should arrive on or about July 11th. Then on the 10th day I head into my RE to start tracking my ovulation. If my calculations are correct; FET should be around 7/26. Our office is closed Monday & Tuesday for the 4th of July holdiay so I plan to hit the beach a few times to try to keep my mind off the upcoming FET... Getting very nervous and jittery!!

I hope everyone that I missed personals is doing well. This is a busy board and I try to keep up as much as possible.

Warm Wishes and Baby Dust to All!!
Tina

Ladies,
I am so excited! I just got a phone call from my new clinic and our consultation has been moved up to tomorrow, 6/29! Cannot wait to meet our new RE and even get started on treatment earlier then August!

That is a great sign of wonderful things to come!!!

[moorebaby]

AFM - Forgot to mention yesterday that I called my RE about the spotting (more just to see if you can use tampons during this 2ww) since I'm in a bathing suit all day. The nurse said they do not recommend that at all and she did not want me using them - so I guess I'm lucky that I have 3 dark/black bathing suits! She also said to up my PIO to 1.5 cc a day (vs. the 1cc) and that should take care of it also. So today is 9dp5dt and I caved and POAS. I got a BFP!!!!! It came up fairly quickly too and was clear as day!! So now I have decided I will POAS every morning till Friday and am being cautiously optomistic...but hopefully this BFP stays

Yay...so happy for you!!! Can't wait to hear your beta # on Friday! Congrats!

I need someone to help me keep the board updated with the list. So many that are in the middle of their cycle and it's not fair to them if we don't keep up the PMA so I'm sending out a request for a little help. I wish you all the very best and BFP success!

Ladies, I started a calendar, but I was only able to read back a few pages. I have to take a pause now...the housecleaning awaits me, lol!

[WndrGrl]

Dreams - Congratulations!!!!

Sunshine - Glad the consult was moved up! hope everything goes well.

AFM - I'm proud of myself. I didn't test this morning. I thought about it but also thought it might be too soon. I'm only 7dp3dt. I'm going to test tomorrow morning. Then probably Thursday & Friday as well. We have our beta scheduled on Saturday morning. I keep feeling my boobs to see if they are tender. The thing is, I don't know what tender feels like and if they feel different then before! ha. I don't have any other "signs." No cramps or anything. Haven't been overly tired. No implantation bleeding. I'm trying really hard to not think about the "signs" and everything.

I'm pretty happy with work right now. I've got a new schedule and have moved to 4 10s. I'm working a little more during the day but now I have Friday's off every week. Yeah to 3 day weekends every week!

[Sunshine1576]

Moorebaby thank you so much for helping out, you are the best! I wanted to tell the last list made was on 6/23 (with the surfboard picture, you'll see it as you flip back pages, thought it might help save you a little time on reading.
Thanks again! Must leave for work now, but definately be back here tonight...
