We had plans to go away but they are on hold now since we most likely will be monitoring over the weekend. Blah!
No AWs or FFCs.
Dx w/ PCOS IR 8/2009 - On Metformin
3/2011 - 100mg Clomid + IUI = BFN
100mg Clomid + TI = Anovulatory
2/2012 150mg,200mg Clomid + Trigger + IUI + Prog = BFN
5/2012 = Surprise BFP M/C @ 6 weeks
5/2013 - Femara, Trigger + IUI + Prog = BFN
I'm suppressed, so last week I lowered my dosage of Lupron and am now on Estrace as well. The dosage of that is changing every few days. Next week is a big week - a lining check, med changes, and starting the dreaded PIO. So while things are happening, we're still kind of just waiting. Frozen embryo transfer is scheduled for two weeks from today.
I went to a second acu appointment. I'm not loving it like everyone else does, but whatever. I figure there is no harm in it, so I'll keep doing it.
Labor Day -- I'm doing fall cleaning on Friday night/Saturday, going to a wedding on Sunday, and spending Monday doing a date-day with H. We're going to be tourists in our own city. I love doing that.
FFC: I don't think family (and H) will be happy for us when the next pregnancy happens. They'll be scared and will let fear be stronger than happiness. It breaks my heart. Maybe I am crazy, but I'll be just as happy and optimistic as I have been the last two times. I'll still jump into planning, will still enjoy it.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
dx: Unexplained IF (mild MFI)
TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN

IVF #2 (August 2013): Lupron Stop Protocol:
28R, 23M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 1 partially hatched blast, 7 frosties = BFP
EDD 5/23/14, blighted ovum (6w6d), D&C (8w6d)
FET #1 (April 2014): transferred 2 5d blasts = BFP
C.J. born 01/09/15

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermupdate: nothing here. AF is here an i'm on CD 5.
we have a wedding to go to on Saturday night and then the rest of the weekend I plan on relaxing, cleaning, reading...
FFC: I'm starting to wonder if we rushed to quickly into IVF. maybe I should have explored more doctors...I don't know i"m just questioning everything we've done and are doing. not really FFC just more thinking out loud.

Again I say, normal people shouldn't have to decide these things. So crazy excited and nervous though to be taking this step!! Ffc: I'm so nervous I've pooped 3 times today from nerves.
This weekend I am on call and will work a couple hours likely, otherwise ill just be taking it easy.
QOTW: we are going to the beach!
