Hugs, goldenlove3. Sorry about injectables but FX for your upcoming cycle.
Congrats on being PUPO, @underdog25!!! Have a safe trip home.
Hugs, meerkatmillie. Good luck moving forward with IVF!
daisy818 - I hope your surgery and recovery go smoothly!
longhornwino0907 - so excited for you! I hope the next couple months go by quickly for you!
mrsjene - yay for 8 eggs! FX for a good fert report tomorrow.
butlerfan - hope you can get an appointment with the new RE soon! If you have time/interest, it might be good to start contacting a few adoption agencies just to get the initial information and paperwork. There is a lot of paperwork to do before starting the home study process, and usually you can fill it out at your own pace.
Hugs, joy. Hope the timing and scheduling works out ok for your monitoring appointment.
twinkie0612 - Good luck with your FET tomorrow! Glad your family can step in to help out with everything!
AFM, I had an upsetting IF weekend. H and I watched the movie "This is where I leave you" on Saturday night. We picked it because it looked like a fun family comedy, but there is this entire IF plotline, and the oldest brother in the family and his wife are struggling with IF. It really hit a nerve with me, and I could totally relate to them and the family dynamics around their struggles (H and I are the oldest in our families and both have younger siblings that have kids or are currently pregnant). I burst into tears in the middle of a particular upsetting moment in the movie.
Then I had an unusually long LP with almost no PMS symptoms, so despite having been TTC for 14 months, having an MFI diagnosis, and only hitting O+1 in a kind of TTA cycle, I was so sure that we might be pregnant. So I tested on Sunday morning (BFN of course) and promptly got my period a few hours later.
Oh well. Moving on. This cycle my entire FW will most likely fall while we are staying with family for Thanksgiving, so I have no idea how we are going to hit any days. We are doing TI for a while to see if H's CoQ10 and fertility vitamins make any difference.
QOTW: Fall is my favorite by far. The colors, the scents, the crisp fall air. I love it all. Plus my birthday is in October, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, so even more reasons to love fall!

ceejay I'm sorry for the movie surprise (and the cruel body messing with you)...I find things sneak up on me way more than I ever thought they would these days. That said, I do sometimes appreciate a chance to ugly cry and let it go a bit. Sometimes holding everything together is so exhausting.

Out of the eight they retrieved, four fertilized!!! It may not seem like much, but considering out of those eight eggs, probably only 4-5 were mature AND I only had one fertilize last cycle, THIS IS AMAZING NEWS FOR ME! My chances seem so much better this time (at least to me...)!

I don't have time to tag today. I just had to tell my boss we're going through IVF and cried in his office. And then cried in mine. It sucks. My focus at work has been crap and I had to explain why I can't focus. And now I've been staring at this post for a half hour. I just want to go home. But I can't because I can't focus and I have things that need to be done.
Edit: I'm obviously having a rough day. Please excuse me.

piccyami so many hugs to you. I'm glad you were able to tell your boss. IF is impacting my job but I can't say anything and it makes it all extra stressful. I hope once you get past today it will feel better. I hope you can get what absolutely needs to be done, done, and then go home and do whatever you need to to take care of yourself.

mrsjene congratulations on your 4 growing embies!! GROW!!
Hey ladies, I got out of ER a few hours ago and I'm feeling awesome. No pain, bloating, cramping, sleepiness...nuthin. So, I'm up and about doing stuff with my mom. Thanks for all your support today! We retrieved 10 eggs, and I will find out tomorrow how many fertilized normally. We are doing ICSI so I have the hopes.
My clinic does 3 day transfers if you have less than 6 embryos and 5 day if you have more than 6 so I'm really hoping for a good fert report.

AFM, just sitting at 10DPO of a natural cycle. Last week I emailed my RE to request additional bloodwork (standard CD3 tests - FSH, LH, TSH, AMH, E2) and she basically told me "no" and that they were useless tests. So I decided that it's time for a new RE. I found one that's about 45 minutes from me and they have great reviews and such an informative website. I got more information from their website than I ever did in my year+ of seeing my current RE. I'm excited to get the ball rolling again, just nervous about how this will work with my insurance.
QOTW: I love summer and fall! I'm lucky because I live in an area that has a pretty spectacular fall. It usually gets cut short due to a snow storm but I really feel like I got to enjoy it this year.
