No updates here.  Just waiting and hoping that I o soon.  

My mom really inspires me because she is such a strong and smart person.  She's the one I can always turn to when I need advice.

ILoveRedVino

I have an RE appt this morning. Assuming I am suppressed (ovaries have stopped), I will begin Estrace tonight to build my lining. I didn't take Estrace last time, and I am always a bit nervous to start a new medication. I'm getting nervous. Watching others here go through spotting/beta hell, I just dread doing it all again. I really want to keep myself from testing until beta day but I know 10dpo will roll around and I'll be going crazy. I am also scared about the PIO injections which will start in a few weeks. I watched some YouTube videos last night and it helped a bit, but inflicting pain on myself (H will be traveling quite a bit) doesn't sound great.

ETA -- I'm suppressed, so I'll start baby aspirin tonight and Estrace tomorrow.

poppies717

I triggered last night and am waiting for IUI tomorrow. I'm trying to be hopeful, but I'm glad I have an appointment with my therapist at 8dpiui. I usually get off the hopeful high and jump into the pit of despair around then.

QOTW: I find inspiration from lots of people I know. Everyone fights battles.

nfp147

Update: CD12 and I decided to start giving a shit again, so I'll start peeing on things in a few days.  I know I ovulate a bit late (like CD18), so I won't start peeing to early in an effort to not waste tests.

My Dad inspires me a lot.  He's very strong and very smart.  He quit school in grade 11 and got a job at a mine.  He inspires me because he worked at a job he hated so that his kids could have everything we needed.

ecinereb

No update. Just waiting until we see the RE again but hoping I O on my own again this cycle.

Inspiration is hard to come by for me right now. I don't know, but probably some of the kids I work with who are so happy despite all they go through.

Aimothy

No update here. I have to go back to the doctor in the next month to get my prescription of synthroid refilled, so I'm taking him this picture and asking when we can start IVF 2.0. 

Aimothy

I am inspired by lots of people.  By candj428 for opening up her home and heart to foster children.  By panderp for surviving this last year and the good that she has made from her horrible situation. By my parents, who married young/had very little money, but raised three respectful, awesome humans.

Whenever I need the extra push at the gym, I usually either think of my two little embryos or my friend's daughter, who died by suicide.  Their journey usually give me the push I need to keep going. 

sweetpotato123

@aimothy you look fabulous! Congrats on your weightless journey.

CeciliaM21

Update - Still on stims waiting to O.

Aim is inspiring me right now. She is a great friend and she rocks at weight loss! 

LooneyLife

Fabulous picture, @aimothy!  You've done an amazing job with the weight loss.

amandaf6383

No real updates here. In the middle of my cycle and I just hope I O. 

AW: Down a total of 7 lbs!!!

QOTW - My mom really inspires me. She overcame a lot of bullshit that went with her marriage to my father. She never let me or my sister see it. Also, all the 3T ladies here inspire the crappola out of me. Talk about inner strength. Sheesh.

LooneyLife

I'm on day 4 of stims, first monitoring appointment was this morning.  I'm still waiting on instructions from my nurse, but I expect to be back there again Saturday for another check.  The tech counted 16 on one side and 17 on the other.  She said one just reached 10mm, and the others are just shy of it and all about the same size.  So far so good!

RockABye

No update. Just waiting and wishing

My parents inspire me... They're amazing. Two of the most Godly, caring, loving people. They've set such an example for me and are always behind me. If I can be half the parents they are, my kids will be set!

DangerMuffin23

@poppies717 Good luck tomorrow!

frizby

Finally getting to this, I've been so damn busy it's ridiculous. Updates: Nada, still waiting on DH's SA results. Geisinger is slow as molasses in december. QOTW: My DH, he's a great man, self motivated, loving, and faithful. He truly is the better half of this relationship.

BruinsBabe33
