QOTW: Do you and your H/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? Gifts, flowers, dinner? What are your plans for this year?

I'm just hanging out wto. DH has a Dr appointment to get the paperwork for an SA this week. Then he will have to produce a sample at home and drive it in to the hospital while keeping it body temperature and delivering it within an hour (between 8am and noon).

We're also waiting for a referral to an RE, but I expect that to take at least another month.

DH and I went to the theatre to see a play this past weekend, which was our early valentine's date.

[gabride2010]

I hope your H has good results from his SA and that you get an appt with the RE soon @sparky85!

I'm somewhere in the TWW I think. I got CH today at 7DPO, but with my + OPKs and abnormally lower post-O temps, I'm not totally sure.

If this cycle doesn't work, then I will have my HSG early next cycle. I'm also hoping to go ahead and start Femara before my HSG and just stop it if anything comes back abnormal on the HSG.

QOTW: Do you and your H/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? Gifts, flowers, dinner? What are your plans for this year?

We've never really celebrated Valentine's Day, but especially not now that our anniversary is Feb. 20. Valentine's is on a Tuesday, so we will go to Crossfit and then make dinner at home.

[Rama]

@sparky85 I hope your H's appt goes well!

I'm sitting at (what I'm pretty damn sure is) 7DPO, despite FF. I have a good feeling about this cycle, but I'm definitely wishing away the days to get to this weekend. To test AND because I'm not finished with work today and I'm ALREADY done with this week.

QOTW: Do you and your H/SO do anything special for Valentine's Day? Gifts, flowers, dinner? What are your plans for this year? We always go to "our" restaurant for dinner on Valentine's Day, so that's what we're doing. I'm already craving the delicious, delicious veal.

Sooooooo, I got a BFP this morning at 9DP FET. I have a blood test tomorrow to confirm

QOTW- we don't celebrate Valentine's Day. My birthday is the following week- #priorities

I'm hanging out in the TWW. I'm already going crazy.

QOTW: We cook dinner in for valentines day. But this year, since we had our iui, we decided to move our fancy dinner up, so we made that Saturday night to celebrate finally moving forward.

My dad usually sends me flowers. It's tradition.

[thechickencoop]

@sparky85 hope the SA goes well.

Oooh good luck this week gabride2010 & Rama...:impatiently drums fingers::

When do you expect to hear back from the geneticist @wallflwr926? It was a couple weeks, right?

[thechickencoop]

AFM

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler.}Today, I'm still pregnant. Beta was 32 this morning, repeat draw is Wednesday morning. ::sigh::

QOTW: um. No. We're not big mushy people anyway and everything is overpriced because people will buy it. We're lame but we own it.

Most of it appears to be ready. I keep getting notifications that results are in but I'm not able to view anything. I think I'm just waiting on the karyotyping.

[Cythe]

BurritosAtEveryMeal congrats!!

@sparky85 wto is the worst. Good luck with the SA this week.

gabride2010 good luck this month! My clinic didn't let me do the HSG and a treatment in the same cycle, but they're military docs and therefore, haters.

Rama @ramallama @howdoitagrama? Crossing EVERYTHING.

thechickencoop fx for wednesday!!

[Cythe]

AFM, I have a built in pregnancy test in the form of hormonal IBS so I knew the results of my betas this morning before I could even test.

SPOILER: Click to show

I got my BFP 4dp5dt and today's betas at 16dpo/11dp5dt were 411!

My clinic hates early betas so I don't go back in until Friday for the repeat draw.

QOTW: We are not big thing kind of people so we have plans for Chinese food and a couples massage

The WORST. I hope it's all back soon. I don't remember our karyotyping taking too long...maybe 2 weeks max? But I feel like they had told us longer so it was a 'surprise' when they call with everything lol.

It's just my karotyping. It was also done a huge hospital, and not through a fertility clinic, maybe that's what it is making it take longer.

@sparky85 - I hope you get an RE appointment soon and that your H's SA goes well.

gabride2010 and Rama - good luck this cycle! Hope the waiting time goes by quickly.

BurritosAtEveryMeal - YAY!!! Congratulations!!!!!

@wallflwr926 - I hope you get the genetic results back soon and that they provide some answers.

cjchio - FX for you!!!

thechickencoop - FX for doubling betas!!

Cythe - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!


AFM, nothing to report. Still just waiting on all of our foster care stuff. We were supposed to hear something today about hopefully getting our old caseworker back but we didn't hear anything. We are getting so tired of being told something is going to change and then nothing does.

QOTW: We usually go out for a nice dinner but haven't made plans yet. And H usually gets me flowers.

Everything hurts and pants are overrated. Tonight was my 4th night of shots and I got to bump the Gonal F down so I'm guessing I'm responding pretty well. I had bloodwork done this morning. Tomorrow I start the Cetrotide to keep from ovulating and Wednesday morning I go in for an ultrasound and more bloodwork.

QOTW - We usually go out to eat the week before or after and cook at home on the day of. H use to buy me flowers but I always kill them. This year I will maybe doing our ER on Valentine's Day.
