Hi ladies. I'm here to give hugs, it seems a lot of us need them. I hate this for everyone single one of us.
Afm I'm pretty sure I'm 8dpo. I had a dip today so I don't really see this ending well for me. I keep saying it but I'm just trying to keep myself occupied.
I have exciting things for November. I'm attending both of Josh Groban's concerts at the start of November in SF. I'm also going to meet him! You guys I might die. I hope I don't embarrass myself.
I'm also lined up to meet SF Giants catcher and all around super good looking Buster Posey!
There's also a convention I want to attend because a Internet friend is going and I've known him for so long but never met him.
See I don't have to think about the fact next month marks 3 years. Nope, won't beon my mind at all. <-- lies but I'm trying.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
setsuna17, Hold up... if you've taken anti-depressants, you can't adopt? I've never heard of this and it sucks.
easilyunamused, I think each person is different and moving toward acceptance can be hard. I think you're right to give him some time and space to not hear about "all that stressful shit," as my H has put it. Some time and talking to the RE definitely helped MH.
AFM: IUI cycle #4, Femara day 2. Fun fact = I have now hit as my cycles trying as my age. I'm at the point that I just feel like I'm going through the motions. Negative test, temp, pee on things, get poked by the doc, prodded by the nurse, wait 2 weeks, rinse and repeat. Adding meds is just another step. On the upside, medicated cycle means that I get another date with the dildo-cam next week. Woot woot!
I think of you guys all the time even if I don't have much time to participate.
Hi Ladies, Just sending some love to everyone. Whether you like it or not. I've been a little under the weather the last two days. The pelvic pain is worse than ever. I'm greatful for the new trend of 14 day LPs, but why can't the pain just go away. CD1 started today so i'm hoping i'll feel a little better at some point tomorrow.

snakefisherbub, focus on the fun things, you have a lot going on! How do you get to set up so many meet and greets?!
Daikoku, thanks. MH sounds a bit like yours. I have to keep in mind that no one processes these things the same. FX this IUI works!
wannabmama, I appreciate that. MH is the same, a little bit here and there helps I think. I just really need his support and I also don't want him to be too overwhelmed. I keep telling him to talk to his best friend who just went through this entire process with his wife. They ended up doing IVf.

Lol I have no idea, it was all plain luck this month! Maybe the universe way of being a little nice to me for a change. ♡♡
cateyes - *hugs* - Hope your H gets everything set up with a new RE. wannabmama – Hope the Clomid is working and your IUI goes smooth this week mrsjene – Glad they put the rush on getting your IVF cycle approved. goldenlove3 – Hope your appointment goes well this week. mugster – FX for lil’ muggy! dke2010 – FX for testing this week requiressnacks – Win big this week!!! I seriously think we’ll be doing Vegas again in April. youdontsay – Good luck at your WTF appointment this week. @underdog25 – Good Luck flying out for your treatment. I really hope everything goes well! getzystark – FX for an early O! joy – that stinks on the different info from everyone – Hopefully you can get everything straightened out. emilie – Enjoy that wine! butlerfan - *hugs* housecarder – YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! Congrats! pippacricket – Welcome, and sorry you find yourself here. ceejay – per DH he “missed the cup” when he did his. It was awkward. And now we get to redo it. setsuna17 – hope your back starts feeling better and the doctors can give you some answers. easilyunamused – DH is really indifferent about setting up the RE appointment (which is why I still haven’t pushed to do it). Going in for his SA was awkward and he felt uncomfortable. snakefisherbub – Sounds like you have a lot lined up for the end of the year. *hugs* for the 3 year mark. Daikoku – FX for IUI #4. Sorry it’s become “rinse and repeat”. @wallflwr926 - *hugs*
I just want to thank everyone for the FSA advise. I think I'm going to go ahead and call the RE that did our SA tomorrow and set up an appointment for our initial intake next month and ask how much is "normal" for an IUI then set up the FSA for 2-3 of those. I seriously cried the night we got our insurance info at work for 2016 because how crappy my insurance is. I asked someone how much their L&D cost and she was all "maybe you'll get lucky on your first try". HA.
All the hugs, setsuna17. I hope your doctors can help with your health concerns.
Welcome easilyunamused, but I'm sorry you find yourself here. Hopefully YH will be more willing to talk about everything after the initial consult. MH still doesn't like talking about IF and will either avoid talking about it altogether or tell me that whatever I want to do (regarding treatments) is fine. But I'd really like to feel more like a team for this. I think he might just need some time to get used to everything. I have to remind myself that MH hasn't been a part of an online forum that talks all about GKU and IF for the past year like I have.
snakefisherbub - Sounds like a fun and exciting November!
major hugs setsuna17. I'm so sorry you're dealing with that.
easilyunamused welcome, and sorry you find yourself over here. it might just take your H a while to wrap his head around everything that's going on and come to terms with it. maybe after you meet with the RE and have them walk you through your options he'll open up more. sometimes hearing it directly from a doctor does help.

I don't know if all countries forbid adoption if a parent takes anti-depressants but quite a few do. I was looking at China because H is Chinese but they definitely don't allow it.

I don't mean to pry, but is it if you've ever have taken anti depressants or if you currently do?

China specifically says that if you take it for severe mental disorders such as anxiety or depression for longer than 2 years. So you may be able to get a pass if you were treated for less time than that. Some countries just need a letter from from a psychiatrist saying your depression/anxiety is under control with meds.

Ok, thanks. I thought it might be beneficial for them to consider an evaluation per specific potential adoptive parent.

I agree. I just am surprised that they would just say no all together. So I guess a person who doesn't get their mental disorders under control is better? just kidding.
Hey all. I'm sorry I haven't really checked in. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and I'm sick to boot.
After our appt on the 1st telling us that we can't use my eggs, DH and I (mostly I) went on a mad rush to find all the information possible on Third Party Reproduction. After days and days of endless research we have made a decision and booked a date.
We will be transferring 2 donor eggs on February 9th in the Czech Republic. I am extremely excited and feel so much peace with this decision. I still have moments of "holy shit I can't have kids" but those pass quickly and I really feel like this is the right decision. It also helps that there is a fellow board member going at the same time as me and that there is a wonderful GKU'r who has helped tremendously with the travel. This experience has really made me feel grateful for the friends I've made here!

Hi all! I'm super late. I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting for IUI#2. DH has to give his sample "in medium" today to hopefully help with the agglutination. So I'm anxious to hear if the numbers are better this time. Wish us luck!
kaliRN so excited for you!!! I hope you have a wonderful (And successful) trip.

Hi! I'm late, busy week at work, and mobile so cannot really tag, but sending hugs to all who need them
Not much to update this week, being away gave us only the option of a natural cycle so now currently in TWW I'm actually quite relaxed, it's a nice feeling

Sorry I too am late this week. I was waiting to hopefully have my biopsy results back before I updated but I guess the lab is pokey this week.
Eventually (hopefully later today!) the lab will get back to me with clear biopsy results. If its all good, I will stop BCPs next Monday and start injects the following Friday. Cross your everythings that the infection is gone or else its back on stronger antibiotics. Boooo!
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14
It's been an eventful week so far. Yesterday we met with the RE to discuss next steps if this cycle doesn't work. We went over both injectables and IVF cycles. He pretty much left it up to us to decide what to do next but he seemed to lean towards IVF, both for success rate and for avoiding multiples. We went home and talked, looked over budget, etc and made a plan. If the timing works out, we will go to IVF next. The only issue is that the retrieval date MIGHT fall during Christmas time when the lab is closed so my nurse will check on what the cutoff is and let us know. If we're going to miss the cutoff, we will do an injectable cycle next and IVF would likely start in January.
This morning I also went in and did IUIv6.1. I had mature 3 follies, good lining and H had a great sample. We go in tomorrow for v6.2. Hopefully we're successful and don't even have to worry about what's next but I feel good knowing we have a plan in place now.
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14
