I'm feeling great! I have a four day weekend and a Thanksgiving (it's Thanksgiving in Canada) get together with our WHOLE family that I'm really looking forward to.
****trigger warning**** I have a little bump now and I'm super excited to show it off to our family.
I'm feeling sleepy. I can't decide if I should risk C waking up and take her out of her car seat ( so we can both get a nap) or try to nap in car ( which doesn't work well since her seat is on the driver side).
Feeling good that I went to gym this morning, even if I did just negate any good I did by eating Taco Bell and icecream. Working out makes me hungry.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians! I'm jealous.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!
I am feeling sick. I have felt nauseous and sick to my stomach off and on since last night. I ended up having cereal for dinner last night at 8pm because I couldn't bring myself to eat the dinner that I cooked. I just ate lunch in a work meeting (I didn't eat much - half of a tuna sandwich and a little bit of salad), and now I am feeling super sick again. Reason unknown.
I am also feeling really stressed and anxious today.
I need some kind of physical and mental break from reality, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon....
Oh, and I am jealous of all you folks with long weekends. Bah humbug!
I sent Kaden off on his first field trip to the local ballet. So many feels!!! My kids are growing up...
Enjoying a quiet moment and a cup of coffee while Owen naps (I don't get daytime breaks now that Kaden doesn't nap) so this moment is very precious. Ahhhhhhh....
Found out that our donor has retired, no more vials will be sold to Canadian distributors and no one in Canada has them in stock. And even though I still don't have my beta, I know I'm out because AF is heavy and here to stay for the week.
So... We will have Aurora store our last vial till we sort things out, but we are going to take another long break. It's really hard to make huge life changing decisions without my wife home, and I don't want to move forward with creating our family without her.
So while she's gone I'm going to start searching for a new donor. I'll send her info on the ones I think match what we are looking for and then we will decide from there. I figure we will try a few (max 3) IUI's with the new donor and if we still do not get pregnant, then we will start talking IVF.
It's just so frustrating that we got pregnant the first try and now we can't get pregnant again! And we will be eating the cost of our last vial because it can not be returned and it's highly likely we will not be using it.

dannigirl, sorry I missed you, we must of been posting at the same time!
I am so sorry to hear that you have to select a new donor, I think many of us here understand how difficult it is to make that decision the first time around.
Does your bank not have a buyback program or is your vial being stored somewhere else? I know that both outreach and can-am have buyback programs as long as your units are stored with them.
Take good care of yourself on your break, and hopefully you find an amazing donor!
