ladytiffany24 - FX O is confirmed! I feel you on celebrities. I feel like I've seen a million celebrity announcements recently but it may just be that I'm more aware of it now.
Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC/NTNP, more leaning toward TTC at this point.
Diagnosis (if applicable): I had a partial molar pregnancy so my chances of another molar are supposedly 1/100
Updates/questions:
Debbie downer (a place to vent): I'm having some weird mixed emotions now that I'm smack in the middle of the FW. I'll be disappointed if we don't have good timing but I'll be scared if we do. UGH. So much for not thinking into things as much.
QOTW: Pretend that money, education, time, etc..are not an issue: What is your dream job? Barista. Coffee coffee coffee! No real stress or responsibility, good smells, good music. Ahhhh

How are you doing? I'm mostly OK. Things are up and down these days.
Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): TTC
Diagnosis (if applicable): Resected uterine septum, unexplained IF
Updates/questions: I've finished the testing process with the RE and my diagnosis is unexplained with (somewhat) irregular cycles. I have been very ready to move on to treatment, but the RE said our chances were only 10% with Clomid, so I'm trying not to pin my hopes on it. And we can't start treatment for 2 more cycles because of timing issues with my husband's business travel this month and my conference next month. I'm having a hard time staying positive. Some days are pretty bad.
Debbie downer (a place to vent): Nothing specific.
QOTW: Pretend that money, education, time, etc..are not an issue: What is your dream job? I would love to have a store full of beautiful objects, as long as I didn't have to deal with the business side of things. I like the design aspect.
notagoddess each cycle and sometimes each day feel like an eternity when you're forced to wait. I'm sorry for the non-answer answers but hope you're one of the lucky ones who have success right away once you start clomid.

mosdub the mixed emotions are so hard...and the fact that fear steals away some of our happiness when we have a little hope is so unfair, I think it's one hardest things about this whole process.
I'm sorry notagoddess that you're having bad days and have more time to wait. The odds are tough to face...But remember, even 10% means one in 10 work...I'd take those odds in a lot of things in life!
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!
caer I know all about hCG and its pesky bouncing around/lingering. Keep in mind that while rare, it is possible for some women to have a base line of natural hCG higher than others. It's rare but if your next draw comes back close to 5 or 6 it might be worth checking out. I'm sure it will drop on it's own below 5 next time. I've read some women who are stuck at single digits saw a rise when they were close to ovulating or their period - that's totally anecdotal though.
doodler that was a lot of emotional triggers for one day, I'm so sorry. In regards to your QOTW - I feel like most social workers, special education teachers and the like go into their jobs to do that exact thing. Paperwork ruins everything. (I know it's necessary and important, but it does make the job suck)
Rama I may need to steal your "t?tc" I feel like it best fits what I'm feeling.
wannabmama I know I will never feel as much naive excitement/happiness about a pregnancy again. I will be happy and excited for another pregnancy, but it won't be the same. It's okay, it just sucks.

This is really helpful. I had a postive OPK yesterday right before the blood draw so though I'm not temping, I would guess I ovulated today. I wonder if that messed with the result. I have another blood test on Thursday so I should know more then.

mosdub when I first tested for this one and saw the line so faint, I immediately got worried. MH was annoyed and thought I was being too negative. But, now twice this has happened, how will I ever be not scared? I'll be thrilled anytime I see two lines...but you're right it will never be the same as that first time when I thought we'd overcome all the hurdles.
Also... My betas went to 6, but they need me to test until below 5...really body? You couldn't just let me go with one less prick and drop like two more points?! And I "get" to re-do my CD3 blood work and repeat hsg as soon as I start AF so that's fun...but if it means I'm closer to my next IVF I'll suffer through. If my body cooperates (it hasn't yet but maybe it will start?) we could in theory do IVF again in June. Oh please oh please...

Hoping for a dramatic drop for your. Hormones, while necessary, suck balls.

caer, sorry about your results. What a roller coaster. I hope your test on Thursday gives you a result of <5 so you can move on.
doodler, hugs. I'm sorry your birthday was filled with reminders of how things should be, and an argument with your H. I saw your post about your new diagnosis -- I can see why your head is spinning. I hope the RE appointment helps put that result into context. I'm thinking of you.
peaseblossom55, FX for your IUI! I have my hopes up for you. I also hope the ceremony on Sunday brings you a sense of peace as you honor your daughter.
wannabmama, hugs. I hope the resolution is quick and you can move on to the next IVF very soon. Good luck with that dinner, I would probably cancel!
ellabee, I'm hoping this is that new start for you.
@samrs22, kudos for not giving up on your dream! And letting go of control is really hard for some of us.
hydrangea1019, ugh it's hard to listen to those comments about pregnancy being so awful when you want it so much.
kayladawn91, I'm excited for you to get those suckers out and get back to TTC! I hope everything with your surgery goes smoothly. And I'm sorry that you are having to avoid family due to your sisters' pregnancies.
Rama, I hope your body is getting it together to give you a chance. I want you to get your dream job so much.
ladytiffany24, I love celebrity gossip too. But they are always having babies, which has made it less of a guilty pleasure for me lately. It sounds like your body is cooperating. FX for you.
mosdub, I'm thinking of you. I can't imagine how hard that first cycle TTC must be after waiting so long. Wishing you luck!
wannabmama - I feel you so much. When my beta came back at 5.13, I was like "seriously, body? You need to draw this out even more?" Ugh. Bodies can be the worst. (((Hugs)))
Do you mind if I ask you why they are repeating the HSG?
wannabmama I know I will never feel as much naive excitement/happiness about a pregnancy again. I will be happy and excited for another pregnancy, but it won't be the same. It's okay, it just sucks.

The. Worst. I guess my hsg has to be redone each year for insurance...which seems sort of strange to me. I'm dreading it. My first one was not awesome. But I hit my oop maximum just about, so it's "free" so I'll do whatever they tell me.

I'm so sorry. I hated mine too. Freaking insurance. Hope it is a easy as possible for you this time.
