XP: Pushing up IVf #3?

So I know I had it all planned out to start stimming the day after I run a 5k - July 14th, (I am on BCPs already, so the RE is confident in manipulating my cycle to make it work) this would make my ER around July 26-28thish. Then usually a 3dt. And a 2ww will bring me into August.

I am a teacher, so I have around June 30th - around Aug 26th off. Because of the stress and heartbreak we went though this year we would really love to get away, perhaps on a cruise. DH has some random days off in the middle of july beginning of august that would be perfect for a cruise.

So my long winded question iiiiiisssss:

Should I push my stims up to June (cant go any earlier b/c I need to heal from my TAC surgery) for an ER at the very beginning of July so we could go on a trip at the end of July? I can run another race in June or something, I'm not registered or in love with it or anything.
Do IVF later after the vacation (really don't want to wait any longer!!)
Or just suck it up, don't go on a vacation and be happy that we get to do IVF at all?

Why is this a difficult decision? Embarrassed What would you do? any other brilliant ideas?

Re: XP: Pushing up IVf #3?

  • I personally wouldn't want to go on a cruise early in your pregnancy should you have a successful cycle (fingers crossed!), so I vote that you skip the 5k, take your trip in early July and start stims when you had planned to.

    After 22 cycles and 4 failed IUIs, Serafina joined our family through IVF/ICSI, born 8.28.12
    Surprise! The Sequel is due 12.8.14!

  • Go on vacation and then do IVF. DH and I had the chance to take a mini-getaway after our loss and it was exactly what we needed to recoup and recover as a couple. I know you must be super anxious to start IVF again, but don't forget to take time for just he two of you.

    I agree with this. DH and I went on a trip after my second loss and it really helped me be more at peace with the world and I took the opportunity to say goodbye to my babies and pledge to myself to do things to make myself and my relationship happier. I came home with a new perspective and was in a much better emotional and mental place for TTC.

  • Thank you, I'm going to try to see if we can work out time at the beginning of July instead. It will be nice to go into it relaxed.
