Sunshine-

Thanks for adding me! :D Sorry to hear DH won't eat the tuna. LOL! Maybe oysters will work.

I think the garden theme is fabulous! I just planted my real garden, perhaps planting our little seed in June will grow right along with our garden! Awesome idea!

Welcome RMB! My SIL is pregnant for the 2nd time. The first one they planned and she got pregnant on their first try. The 2nd one they got pregnant again on their first try and he is due exactly 18 months after their first one. So yeah, I understand how depressing it can be. :) Good luck!

RMB,
First of all :D welcome to the summer group! :D I know exactly how you feel about SIL's expecting. Crazy that my SIL and I were only one week apart and then shockingly miscarry at 10 weeks. It's bittersweet when the family gets together because all I can think is "what if", and now my aunt tells me my cousin :o is expecting her second baby this October AND the family is throwing her a shower.// I cannot help but be a tiny bit jealous, at the same time I know our day is coming...We have to keep up the PMA the best we can to move on forward and make something happen, right? Anyway I wanted to tell you you are certainly not alone in this journey and we are here for you with any comments/questions...you name it, anything at all!

Tomorrow is going to be a brand new day for you and we cannot wait to hear how the ultrasound goes! :D Will definately be updating the "at a glance" list with your IVF protocol tomorrow night. :D

Hi Lovely Ladies,

Wow! This summer board is really starting to get a lot of action. :mrgreen:

Sorry, it has been awhile since I have posted. I have been keeping an eye out for new posts from my iPhone but, it is a pain to post from that darn thing.

Sunshine- You are doing an awesome job being the list mistress! Very impressive & helpful to see where everyone is at.

JC - It looks like we are both on for 6/10, We will have the pleasure to endure the fun 2WW together. I just can't wait to get this FET show on the road, 6/10 can't come fast enough.

As for me... I had my hystoroscopy with D&C on 5/5. The doc said everything looked good but, I will know more this Friday at my next appt./ultrasound. I also start my Estrace on Sunday 2 MG orally and 2 MG Vaginally (yay! gotta love that). Hopefully, the Estrace will not turn me into a crazy person like last time. Only time will tell...lol!

Wow Kynlee, so you narrowed it down to 10 guys lol...hope some of them look like Al Pacino... :lol: (j/k) but he was good in the Godfather and my personal favorite "Scent of a Women". Making a decision like that would have to be the toughest decision I mean it's not like picking out a duvet, but that's what makes this fun and exciting...This is a big step you guys are taking together and we will be following you every step of the way to your BFP!

Hey all, the medical assistant gave me a call this morning to tell me results of my bloodwork from Friday. I have to go back in today for more bloodwork. My TSH levels are at 3.075 and she said they like to see them around 2.5 (I think). Unfortunately I was in the car driving when she called so I couldn't write anything down.

Anyone know what this means?

A year ago when I had the TSH checked I was at 1.74

Crashing...!!
WndrGrl- Are you on BCP? All 4 ivf cycles my TSH shot up to 6, and twice more than 9.50 when I started BCP:roll: . RE said that he might have to cancel the cycle or he would need a note from my endocrinologist to continue. I had to increase my dose from 75mcg to 125mcg. I would consult my endocrinologist to adjust dosage and/or advice asap in case tsh rises further.

I am on bcp but I didn't start until AFTER they took my blood on Friday. I just went and got more blood drawn so hopefully by this Friday they'll have a better idea of what's going on.

Ugh this sucks not knowing!

The good thing is, I found out what blood type I have. 32 years old and never knew my blood type ha.

Thank you all for the kind remarks!

Sunshine - I too had a miscarriage right after my SIL found out she was preg. We would had been a month apart. It was hard to look at her ultrasound pics. But now I have adjusted to it.

I went in for my ultrasound today. Everything looks good. I'll be starting Gonal -F, Menopur, and Medrol on 05/20. And then the ER on June 1!!! Yay!!!

Sunshine- You are too Funny, Al Pacino :) Well DH and I narrowed it down to 5, 2 from one site 3 from another.... We really like the 1st two but it looks like there is a waiting list for my two guys so I have to call tomorrow to find out what the wait is... If its too long I go with the 2nd site and there were 3 good Candiates there :) They resemble Hugh Jackson, Penn Badgley,John Mayer and Johnny depp... But I looked into more important things then looks, I had to check there Medical history since Cancer runs in my family, so that is how we narrowed it from 10 to 5 :) Also I got to read essays and listen to some audio to get a feeling on who these men are... Now I have to just call and see what each place has to say ;) Say prayer that I find my match for this process... :)

Which of you guys are in the US? We are dealing with a nationwide backorder of Lupron. I'm waiting for my doctor to tell me what to do tomorrow. The manufacturer is saying it could be October before it's available.

Has anyone used something other than Lupron?
