Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

CRAP! I started to spot and had a big gush of fluid like the first FET. Kind of figured this would happen with the lad issues they had, just was hoping maybe it wouldn't....guess we will wait and see since it's not full force, at the moment....this blows.

Kynlee- I am glad things are going smoothly with everything and I hope it stays that way!

I don't mind the questions. I love being able to share things :)Yep he's in the military (Army) he'll have almost 22 years in when he retires! He joined just a few days after he graduated HS! He had to come all the way to GA from MD to meet me, his GA peace as his Grandfather would say. It is going to be an awesome and scary feeling all at once! We are excited though and DS (Michael) is beyond excited!

This will be our first IVF attempt! We did two IUI's before. We are going to try and do it here before moving, but not sure yet. Savings is going okay but with making sure we have what we need, saving for this and retirement is hard! We are also trying to do trips while here. We go to Paris the 10th of March! It's for the day and we'll have about 11 hrs. If we can't do it here, it will be soon after moving. Must start making some appointments on base so we can get the approval for it, so they can at least pay for blood test and exams, and possibly some of the medications.

Akdelp-I am so sorry about the bleeding. Please don't give up hope. Lots of the ladies on this board have had bleeding and have gone on to have healthy babies. I know how you feel. I had and continue to have bleeding with this pregnancy and I remember bleeding pretty heavily the day I went in for my Beta. I was sure it was all over but it wasn't over. So please, don't loose faith. Know that I am here praying very hard for you. Sending you a great big hug.

Adkelp, I woke up to spotting today too. I'm hoping it's just because of working out, but it is hard to hold on to hope.

((Hugs)) Like Maria said. Please don't give up hope. I really hope it's nothing and everything is just fine. Many thoughts and prayers.

Adkelp and Blue: Bleeding doesn't mean that it's over. I bled for a few weeks and I'm still going strong. I know that no matter what anyone says, you are going to worry but do try to remember that 30% of pregnancies bleed early on.

Hi ladies

Anton: any news on the job. It sounds great

Christy: how was your boss's visit?

Lyd: that's great the dopplar arrived

I know I've missed people but I look forward to hearing all your news tomorrow. Starting the down regulating on thurs and meting with the clinic to sign consents for 5 day transfer if any embryos make it that far!

Blue & Akdelp- You are both in my prayers dont give up hope alot of peopelpost they bleed at the beginning, sending you both hugs

Ninde- This IVF cycle seemed different then my past two, I got less eggs but also less meds... No headaches this time not sure if it is cause i already been through alot in 2 yrs but I am so much more relaxed then the 1st time... Of course still nervous but staying hopeful I know God has a plan and I am hoping it is in 2012

Gina- Have fun in Paris...Would love to go there... Take pics and show us ladies

AFM- been laying around all day since I got homefrom Church so tired figuring its the meds... Love lazy days..

Hello Ladies!!! Thought I'd let dh have the TV while I check on everyone here...

Ninde- so weird right? The website was down practically all weekend, felt a little lost considering how much we "talk".
Remind us will you be using frosties for a FET this cycle? I really hope so, all these meds are just enough to turn us into a crazy woman! I'm so looking forward to May with only 9 weeks left before the madness begins! I hope work is going well with all your patients, I'm sure you come home to dh with stories to tell. I told my boss she looked well-rested and she tells me she wasn't ready to come back, something about her back bothering her. Said the store looked good and we did well keeping up with our sales projection. I wish I could say I was satisfied with her comment but I knew there would be more later- that's just the way she is. Okay enough about work, this is OUR time away from there!

Adkelp and Nicole- May those babies keep snuggling up close to Mama. You both are in my prayers tonight, please keep us posted! Nicole when is your wedding anniversary day this week girl? Hopefully the cold is better,you and dh deserve to have a special anniversary together.

Anton- The university job sounds great, I really hope it's the best fit and you can start an IVF soon. Hey maybe we could cycle together in May, I would really love that!

Gina- Oh wow Paris, now that would be THE dream vacation! I've been researching all Paris-theme home decor for Annabelle's bedroom and I even thought about surprising her with a book on traveling to Paris, she only 10 but Paris is on her list! She also loves cats and has 4 that like to hang out in her bedroom... lol I was playing around on Books-A-Million and I smiled so big when I saw a book titled "The Cat Who Went to Paris." Dh says we REALLY need to have a child everytime I start talking about her lol. Oh I meant to tell you I asked dh what he thought about one child being biological and one adopted because I wanted to find out before we went down that road. He said it wouldn't bother him said he would love them both the same, honestly I wasn't sure but was sooo glad to find out that he's definately ok with adoption. Ha I could just adopt Belles and be done, nope it's never that easy... Won't be proceeding with adoption until later on, but while I'm waiting for IVF to start decided to get our Lifebook "profile" together. Doing everything we can to keep time moving fast. I know you cannot wait to get moved here and it's going to be nice being back home near family. I hope your next consultaion visit will help answer some of the questions you had about the embryos being transfered here.

Kynlee- I hear you on the IUIs, they do seem sooo much easier, but I'm glad you've made it this far and I envy you being done with all the meds. To me that was the hardest part, but glad we have some experience behind us to make this one better.

AFM: Nothing real exciting to share, working 40 hrs this week making time fly...Tons of snowbirds down here that I think brought the cold weather with them. Springbreak starts next week which reminds me to call and schedule our IVF Attain class since dh will be off from work mid-March.

[blueeyedreamer]

Hello, thank you for all the well wishes. It will be a hard wait this week. My scan isn't until Fri 3/2.

Christy- Our anniversary is Monday the 5th. We will celebrate this coming weekend. Still not sure yet what we will be doing. DH has had a lot on his mind with all this pregnancy stuff plus his immigration stuff.

Patricia- The bleeding is slight, mostly just enough to get on the tissue. There were a few times today that it was heavy enough to reach a mini pad, but it really is very light. I'm more crampy but nothing sharp or out of the ordinary. I keep telling myself that many women bleed and it could be worse because I'm on baby aspirin therapy as well. I even took an hpt to make myself feel better.

I'm sad that my mid-winter break is over and we go back to school tomorrow after having all week off. Well, off for now. I have to cut dh's hair. He has his interview with Homeland Security for his immigration application tomorrow morning and he is a nervous wreck. He is Canadian has been on a green card for the last few years.

[Gina1976]

Blue- I know Friday seems so far away! Hang in there!! Good luck to your DH! I'm sure it will go well

Christy- Annabell's room sounds wonderful and I know it will look awesome once it's all put together!! I can just picture it! I would love to put together a girls bedroom. Dh and I are always talking about "if we have a girl". We wanted a boy first which we got so that's what we are hoping for. Of course either is wonderful but we can wish wish right? That's great he's on board with possibly adopting and having a biological child. There are so many children needing homes, however you think the process would go smoothly and be cheaper considering that!

[Ninde]

Christy: your boss clearly has issues! Nope no frosties so its a full cycle of ivf.

Nicole : I know this has been very tough on you and I hope the bleeding goes away fully. Sending your dh positive vibes too.

Knylene: good luck!

Gina: enjoy Paris its a city I could live in, I love it

AfM: on way to work. Had a training session first thing and my trainer very sweetly gave me a letter he had written for me to give to the hospital telling them how hard I rain and closely watch my diet but despite both our best efforts my weight loss is extremely slow. I thought it was lovely of him! Stomach quite iffy.for the 2nd day. must be a small bug because im overheating too

Ninde

[akdelp]

Thanks for all the prayers. We need them. My bloodwork came back at 335 and they wanted it at 355 or higher. I have to re-test on Wednesday. Spotting has stopped, for now. I hope this is a good thing. I always tease my husband (becuase he is a prefectionist and takes his time doing everything) that he is a turtle...maybe this baby is just being a turtle like him. Thanks again for the prayers....I'll let you know as more developes.

Blue - how are your numbers looking?

Maria - how are you now that you have no more POI shots?

Ugh...I need a vacation...too stressed.

[akdelp]

Anyone heard of Blighted Ovum?

[blueeyedreamer]

Adkelp- I put this in your other post too. I had a blighted ovum on my last cycle. My understanding is that this is when the sac is empty. I had two empty sacs at that time. My betas were fine. The dr was happy with them. I don't think there is any way to tell if it is a blighted ovum by blood testing but I'm curious what Ghost will say.

AFM- My spotting is still here. The cramps are the same. Just waiting, waiting, and more waiting.

Good news though. DH just called and they have approved his citizenship. He is coming to pick me up at work so I can go be there for the swearing in. Yeah!
