Today marks 15 weeks since we lost Kenley. It's so crazy how it feels so long ago, but also its just right in the front of my mind every second of every day.
We are moving on to IVF. I will hopefully start stims around 4/25. I'm nervous but I think that I will always be nervous from now on.

I'm glad af showed up @eliida! I'm sorry it came with terrible cramps though! I'm so ready for spring too! Big hugs sent your way!
Big hugs to you too rslh10! I think of you and Kenley often! Now that the weather is better I need to make another trip out your way! I'll be thinking of you as you go through the IVF process! All of my good and positive thoughts are with you! Big hugs!
AFM, the last Femara TI cycle worked, but miscarriage #4 was confirmed last night. I started having intense pain on my right side (where I O'd) and bleeding so I went to the ER. Couldn't see anything on the ultrasound besides a CL cyst, betas also fell slightly. The pain and bleeding has stopped now though. They will continue to track betas to make sure they go down to zero and not up since they can't be 100% sure it isn't an ectopic. Just sucks a lot.

All the love and hugs ladies.
Nothing new here...still drinking the magic potions, taking all the supplements and getting acupuncture. Although I did stop taking the DHEA. My acupuncturist said I should have my levels checked to see if I even needed it...I guess I didn't since levels came back too high. So I stopped taking that one.
Our consult at the other large clinic in the area is in three weeks. Hoping to make a decision on where to cycle next soon after that. It's either stay with the one we are at or try this other one. TBH I don't think it will really matter for my situation.
@eliida, Thank you. The pain pretty much went away as soon as the bleeding stopped on Tuesday. I started having back/abdomen pain again last night, but nowhere near as bad as the other day. I had some bleeding too, but that's also let up again. They drew another beta this morning, so hopefully things continue to drop. I'm ready for this to be over with.
Hello ladies! I'm more than a day late, guess that makes me more than a dollar short too. I'm going in again today to get another blood draw. I really hope it's down to zero or at least super close. After 7 days my bleeding is finally pretty much done it seems. I spent all weekend outside gardening and cleaning up the yard. I'm trying to convince H to till up and flip the yard so we can smooth it out some, and also so that I can pull up all the pokey crab grass and little flowering shrub like weeds that pop up mid summer and we can plant a nice lawn. We will see how well this works..... All weekend it was in the 70's (yesterday is pushed 80)! But for the rest of this week it's going to the 40-50 during the day and 30s at night again. I will come back to reply to others after I call the vet and get back from the lab.
Hey ladies! I apologize for having been such a bad 6+ lately and for not checking up on you recently These past weeks just have been really hard and between hospital visits and processing those, and plodding on through daily life I've just not had a lot of energy spare for other things - I did lurk but haven't been too active in responding unfortunately.
@eliida, I'm so so happy and reliefed for you that AF finally showed! I'm sorry it made you feel so incredibly bad though, and at work to boot, ugh. Hope you are feeling better again by now. I hear you on being ready for Spring - I've been feeling really down and out of sorts myself and the warmer days, sunshine and green&color popping up around us outside does help me feel a bit better and enjoy life some more.
rslh10, so many hugs. I think of you often and wish there was something more I could offer you then virtual hugs. I've said it on 3t/if before but am so excited for you - wow, 4/25 will be here before you know it! I can't imagine all the emotions that are and will be coming your way. We will be here for you, cheering at you from the sideline and offering a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on whenever you need to.
grneyes, I'm so so sorry Sending you ((hugs)). I hate this for you so much. I hope your BW will continu to show a decline in hcg. You really don't need the additional worry and stress of a possible ectopic on top of things.
4furrypaws, ((hugs)) I've told the kitties to keep their paws and tailes crossed that the magic potions, supplements and needles will make all the difference for your upcoming cycle I hope the consult at the other clinic will give you something new and positive to work with.
elliecat17, Glad to read the bleeding has finally stopped. I've been thinking about you ((hugs)) Spending time outside in the garden sounds nice, esp with such lovely temperatures! We've had some lovely high 60s here but it's back to stormy, rain/hail and cloudy again meh.
