Re: Who is still here? Can we do a check in?
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
I'm here. I know I'm not part of the 'original' crowd.
Had our first IUI on March 16th, going in for betas on April 1st. But I will test before that.
We're thinking of going up to Boston for couple days. Just need to figure out when we can take some time off. I just need to get away from work, so even if I take some time off and we stay home, that would be fine with me!
As far as TTC goes, DH and I are still on track to start this fall sometime. I still haven't started my new job yet, and I want to work at least 6 months before we start trying.
@HoneyBee973 I have everything crossed for you!
...hello out there!
dx with anovulatory PCOS 2005
off bcp 11/11
a few rounds of clomid and femara... no response.
injectables/IUI 12/12... BFN
Feb 13 IVF cycle converted down to IUI due to low follicle response... BFFN
one last IVF attempt April/May 2013: 19 retrieved. 10 fertilized. 2 transferred in a 3dt. 4 frosties... BFP!!
EDD: 1/21/14... Induced early at 36+6. Our LO was born 12/30/13
AFM, ER is scheduled for Wednesday AM. Just got off phone with RE office... Get to do my trigger at 11PM tonight, yay (although way past my bedtime!). At today's scan, looks like we'll get 3 eggs, maybe 4. Last time, we got 5. I'm bummed that our numbers are getting worse in spite of an improved AMH, but at this point, I've accepted the fact that I've done everything I could. Now, we just have to hope for the best and keep reminding ourselves that we only need one. ET is Monday.
As my fellow IVF comrades know, my time, money, and mind are all wrapped up in this cycle. Nothing else much going on.

@OceanHutt Congrats on the weight loss. That is awesome!
@Flamingo86 Congrats on your raise!

@futuremrswright2012 @GABride2010 Thank you so much!!!!!
I was thinking to test this weekend? I am nervous to do it too early. When would you say is a good day to test?
@FutureMrsWright2012 - ahh! I had no idea your retrieval was so soon. Thinking of you and hoping for great eggs!
@OceanHutt - amazing progress with your weight loss!
@Flamingo86 - wahoo on the raise!
@thecuddleeffect - I cannot believe Colin will be one. And trying for #2? Wishing you so much luck!!
I think you should test on Sunday. FX for you!
I'm here-ish. My life is a bit crazy right now, and I'm pretty sure no one else really cares about the things that get me all excited these days (poop! Drool! Holding hands!) So tend to keep them to myself.
But @Apollo11235 - I'm in CT! Where will you be?
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!
