amandaf6383 · September 2013

No real updates. Just chugging away in the middle of yet another cycle. I'm not expecting anything.

QOTW - I would probably have a Thanksgiving feast for my last meal, complete with bread pudding and champagne. Yummmmmm.

FFC - I don't know if this is an actual confession or just a deep seeded fear, but I feel like it is my lot in life to never have a baby. Like, maybe I can't get KU because I wouldn't be a good mom. I know it's not realistic but it's just how I feel lately.

Nothing new here. AF finally showed her face. She was about 10 days late. I've never had this long of a cycle. She's been really wonky lately. Dr. Google suggests that I may be peri-menopausal.

Last meal: A perfectly cooked steak, whipped potatoes with lots of butter, really great wine, and something with chocolate and peanut butter for dessert. And, in a perfect world, no tummy ache at the end of it all.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck Dr. Google. You have some good times left in that uterus of yours! ;-)

I am sorry you are feeling this way

I know it's hard to not let your thoughts run wild.

seahorse01 · September 2013

Nothing going on here. We aren't doing any treatments or even really looking at any other avenues. DH has become increasingly bitter as my sister and her DH have acquired a child through adoption (which was kind of easy for them actually), and he has been making a lot of comments that I think but usually keep to myself. I think I need to get him in to counseling.

Last meal would include steak, roasted green beans, mashed potatoes and whiskey.

ILoveRedVino · September 2013

FET is today.

The PIO shots are making my butt really sore. I've found a good system for getting them done, but they have been rough. My butt literally hurts. I am 6 down, and if I get pregnant, 78 more to go. Ugh.

Last meal would be pizza and wine. Duh. And chocolate chip cookies.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I think we've all been there, I know I have. (HUGS).

My last meal would be brunch with everything, eggs benny, waffles, french toast, pancakes, lots of bacon, fruit, mimosas all of it!! And the ability to eat it all of course.

Aimothy · September 2013

No updates here. My brother's twins were born two weeks ago and we got a chance to meet them last weekend. I did really well with it, Jimothy, on the other hand, got really sad about the cards we've been dealt. Very much a case of "Why them and not us?"

My last meal would include a steak and mashed potatoes from Carnevino in Las Vegas.

Eeeeekkkkkkk! Best of luck!

Xan921 · September 2013

No updates here.

My last meal would be a steak and chicken fajita, lots of chips and salsa, a diet coke and a few ice cold beers.

CincodeMayoLove · September 2013

I'm glad ILRV!! Fx!!

I missed the call on my fertility report!! Gah!!! He left a vague message and I couldn't call till lunch. Now it's lunch and he's not answering!! Stupid all day work meeting

amccul20 · September 2013

no updates really. AF is due on Saturday. Tomorrow Ben has his urologist appt.

my last meal? steak, salad, mac and cheese....french fries.

CincodeMayoLove · September 2013

Finally got out of that meeting and got my fert report!! 4/5 fertilized and the other 11 oocytes were mature and able to be cryopreserved! I'm truly shocked. Fx that they keep growing!

Last meal: pollo pebil or chicken mole with red wine or a marg

I'm sorry you feel this way. I think you will make an excellent mother. ((Hugs))

No new updates here. Our RE doesn't think there is anything else to do at this point except try again if we want to. Still discussing adoption. Trying to just enjoy being married and take it easy.

My last meal would be hot dogs and french fries and diet coke. Healthy.

ETA: We are currently NNT. Not charting or checking for fertile signs, but not using BC either.

poppies717 · September 2013

@ILoveRedVino - FX!

<br>

@amandaf6383 - hugs. I know I've been there. I also think you will be a great mom.

<br>

@Cincodemayolove - yay! Grow, embies, grow!!!!

<br>

@Aimothy - I'm sorry Jimothy had a tough time. It sucks to watch DHs get hit with the sadness as much as we do.

<br>

Update: I called to make an appointment with another fertility center at the suggestion of my therapist. I am going in 10/7 with the new place to see what they say, and then I'm meeting with my RE 10/25. I feel like we're making an informed decision by getting a second opinion.

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way :-( I know we have all felt like this and I know that doesn't make the struggle any easier. But I know you will be a great mom!

CincodeMayoLove · September 2013

@aimothy and @seahorse01
I'm sorry your men folk are getting down

. That is the hardest time. We can talk ourselves into it all being ok, when our h is laid back and ok with it, but when they are sad too it makes it so much harder for both. ((((Hugs to you two and both your J's))))

rccola1981 · September 2013

Nothing new for me. Last meal would be ham pot pie with baked pineapple. Those are both PA Dutch so I'm not sure most would be familiar with them. More general last meal would be shrimp or crab Alfredo and a decadent dessert.

amandaf6383 · September 2013

@CincoDeMayoLove - Wahoooo!! I've been waiting for this good news!!

@Aimothy - I'm sorry that Jimothy was so torn up. Like PPs said, it hurts so much more when you see your husband suffering. :-(

@poppies717 - I'm glad that you are getting a second opinion! I hope this new place is just what you need!

@flamingo86 - I

you.

RockABye · September 2013

CD 1 for me. I'm happy about it b/c it means I Oed and fairly accurately guessed my O date, but it makes me sad for obvious reasons.

QOTW: I'd eat all the bad stuff... Uptown Mac n Cheese from Granville, grilled steak (over charcoal!) , a loaded baked potato, corn nuggets, and pie for dessert. Lots and lots of pie... with Hard Sauce on top.

ecinereb · September 2013

@cincodemayolove - yeah for a great report

@poppies717 - I hope this second opinion helps and make you comfortable with your plan going forwards!

@rccola1981 - I've never heard of that but it sounds good to me. I love pot pie and pineapple!

@RockABye - yeah and boo!

Uptowngirl2009 · September 2013

Sorry I missed checking in yesterday! I worked all day then had to travel home for a church performance. Didn't get back until later last night.

Update: Had our first appointment two days ago. I have CD 21 blood work next Wednesday. DH scheduled his SA for October 4th. Then we'll just be waiting for CD 1 so I can schedule my HSG. Initial plan (pending test results) is to try Clomid at 50 mg.

My last meal would probably be all of my mom's cooking. I'd eat everything...meatloaf, stuffed peppers, chicken and rice, and all of her Thanksgiving side dishes. Oh, and pumpkin roll for dessert!
