@eliida, happy retrieval day! I'm so excited for you. Good luck and make sure to give us an update afterwards.

AFM, nothing going on. BFN on our letrozole cycle so we're going to IVF. Basically just waiting for AF so I can get my baselines and start BCP. Hopefully I can start stims around 10/23.

QOTW: my friends and I did a group Scooby Doo costume in college. I was Velma, it was so fun.

[muscari]

@eliida, GOOD LUCK! I hope ER went smoothly and you're resting up now.

cali, so bummed for you. But, IVF here we come! Hope AF won't keep you waiting!

Will post more when I have a bit more time later today!

@eliida good luck! I hope it went well!

I'm so sorry cali. Good luck as you move forward into ivf.

I'm doing ok. Gearing up for my sisters wedding in Florida on Saturday. Hopefully I make it there. Damn hurricanes. I hope everyone there stays safe!

Otherwise nothing new to report. Just chugging along.

QOTW I love my Dorothy from the wizard of oz. I've done that for like 4 years now. Complete with red sparkly shoes anyone who knows me knows I love sparkles lol!

[cali]

skategirl128, I was thinking of you when I heard about the hurricane. I hope you can get there! Is the wedding supposed to take place in an affected area?

[skategirl128]

cali It's not supposed to be directly affected. I'll be on the west coast of Florida. At this point my flight is at risk of being delayed and/or cancelled. I'm pretty much a mess as I'm not such a confident flyer to begin with (despite flying frequently my entire life).

[cali]

Oh man, I'm sorry skategirl128, I hope it all works out!

[muscari]

@eliida, gonne be stalking you for updates! (here and on 3T heh)

skategirl128, Oh I'm so sorry you're dealing with the stress about possibly getting your flight delayed or even cancelled cause of the hurricane! I hope it'll work out and you'll have a wonderful day on Saturday! Guess other guests may have the same issue if they gotte travel from further? FX! Also, we'll need to see some pics of your helloween outfit! Sounds marv!

[muscari]

AFM, stressing out a little bit over a huge to-do list that I have to want to finish before we go on our trip. We'll be leaving at stupid o'clock on Sunday morning! I was worried about flying with my IVF meds but got all that sorted, even my latest freak out about having sharps in my handluggage. I had thought to pack them into my checked luggage then realized I couldn't since my syringes are pre-filled and all ready to go and got the needles solid on them. But since the meds need to be refridgerated I have to carry those as carry-on.. I talked to airport security and since the needles are tiny it's no problem phew.

As you may have read in last weeks WuW I was having second thoughts about the timing of IVF#2 and I felt really torn. Talking about it some with MH, my sister, and you ladies has helped me calm down. I most likely will simply go ahead as planned, and will start downreg on the 19th. But I do reserve the right to change my mind and postpone ;-)

[cali]

muscari, I'm so glad you got everything figured out on traveling with your meds. I'm also happy to hear you made a decision on going forward. Good luck!

Not much happening here. Studying like crazy for another exam on monday.
H bought the business and so we've been trying to get things going again on that front.
I've had a nasty head-cold all week. Stuffed up and kinda spacey but it's starting to get better.

QOTW: My family always did themed halloween costumes. My favorite was Alice in Wonderland. I was Alice.
