This check-in is intended for those whose loss history, possibly combined with IF, makes TTC challenging. While those with recurrent losses are especially encouraged to join, IF women plus any losses are welcome. For members who get a BFP, you are welcome to stay here until you feel comfortable transitioning. Please do continue to use the usual warnings.
For a list of Recurrent Loss programs and testing information see this google doc. We can continue to build this document and include other useful sources of information.
I started PIO Saturday. My protocol is to alternate that and Endometrin every other day. I had the needles, but it's so much less messy than Endometrin. Must add more pantyliners to the shopping list. Transfer is Thursday. Eek!!
QOTW: I'm not a big collector. I collected owls for a while, but you know when people know you like something and then inundate you with it?

Where is everyone?
birch113, yay for starting PIO! That's weird that they have you alternate! I've never heard of that, but clinics always seem to need to be edgy or something. My clinic has me using both. Worst of all worlds. My butt is sooooooo sore. And, yeah - bulk pantyliners are a must.

Hi, I am here.
birch113, I hope your transfer goes well on Thursday.
ProfessorChaos, I hate anxiety. I hope you get good news at your scan today.
dp21, I hope you have a good first monitoring appointment tomorrow.
AFM, I got a positive OPK over the weekend. I will start estrace later this week. CD 1 should be here by the end of next week. So, I am about 1.5 weeks away from starting stims...whoa!
QOTW: I don't collect anything right now. I used to collect Disney glass figurines. They are now boxed up. I also really liked dolphins (the animals not the football team) and for awhile I had a tons of dolphin stuff in my house. I till have some of it, but it is put away.
dp21, Hope your monitoring appt goes well. I didn't realize our calendars were so close together.
woodenshoes, it's going to be here before you know it!!
AFM, it's the end of the school year so it's been a little crazy. Kids are done but teachers have to work today and tomorrow. I had my 5th monitoring appt this morning and they think I'll trigger tomorrow or Thursday. Shots aren't that bad but I'm so sick of getting up early and driving halfway across town everyday.
QOTW: I use to collect anything Coca Cola in high school but it got to be too much and I had nowhere to put it.

dp21, I definitely get the sense that you are busy! Yay for stimming soon! To address your question, I'm about 80-90% certain I'll never switch to APTM. I was too appalled by the behaviors of too many of those who left. IF everyone else leaves, then I guess I'll just stop coming around.
birch113, thanks, girl. I owe you a PM! And good luck on Thursday!
woodenshoes, wow, stims are coming up quickly for you, too!! FX estrace is easy on you.
bananas22, CONGRATS on being done with the school year!!! The best feeling. What do you do with your summers? And yay for triggering soon! Keep us posted! (But I'll stalk you elsewhere, just to be sure. )
The scan today was much more reassuring. The SCH was still visible, but it was showing improvements. Baby looked good. The intralipids after the scan were pretty awful (I was there 2.5 hours), but I only have to do them twice more...I hope. Thanks for your support, all.
woodenshoes thanks, lady! Yes! You are getting so close!
bananas22 thanks! Yay for being close to the end of the year!
ProfessorChaos WAHOO!!! I'm so glad Baby Pblge looked good and your SCH is improving. So happy for you, love! I'm not too familiar with intralipids. How far apart are treatments spaced?

bananas22, Yay for the school year basically being over. I have 1.5 weeks left. My last day is June 9. That is exciting that you get to trigger soon, and the timing of it sounds perfect since you will be done with the school year.
