TTC thread take 2

[ead79]

girls, I know you had to be praying for me because I TOTALLY blossomed!!! They are letting me go one more day to maximize what the mature follicles and then tomorrow night I will trigger. Sunday morning will be the retrieval!! I'm so flippin excited!!! And a lil nervous

Wahoo! Wonderful news!

 

[soontobewed07]

Cher I just checked in and I am SO HAPPY for you!!!!!

Keep us all updated

 

[ead79]

It's been a while since I've updated y'all, so I thought I'd let you know what's happening here at our house these days.

I took the Provera the doctor prescribed, and they said to give it up to 2 weeks to work and bring on AF. Just as I was thinking it wasn't going to work, AF arrived. I was quite happy, as it seemed like things were "getting back on track," so to speak.

Well, it's now been another month, and AF is late. I know this sounds dumb, but I've been putting off taking another HPT, as I don't want to look another negative in the face. Plus, I keep thinking AF will show up any day now. As of today, it's been 45 days since my last AF.

Here's the thing though. I don't know if I want to take Provera again since my annual exam at the GYN is late next month. I'm concerned that if I take it now, they won't be able to get accurate results on my hormone levels from my blood work. And I'd like to determine where on earth AF has disappeared to rather than trying to force her each month with Provera if we can avoid that.

I think I'm going to take a HPT on Monday morning, then call the dr's office to see what they want me to do. Maybe they can work me in before my annual for bloodwork, then go ahead and give me the Provera after that or something. Does that sound like a decent idea?

And in other news, one of my co-workers has just started TTC. So now that she's tried for exactly 1 month, she's a fount of information on how to conceive. Argh! I'm trying to remember how excited I was when I first started TTC and give her a break, lol.

Sorry ead79 the waiting game sux ESPECIALLY when you have so many variables added. I think it's good to run this idea past your dr too. You also then wind up putting this in their notes on you so that the dr knows that you are taking an active part AND they also know how important it is to you so they will be able to think of different alternatives on how to treat you sooner rather than later. I like your plan

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll keep you all posted once I talk to the doctor.

1. I hope you have good news for us on Monday.
2. If not, I think you have a good back up plan. But still hoping for #1.

We're moved in!!!!! Love the place! I am decorating our new bedroom in a jungle theme. The walls are green and I'm hanging up zebra print curtains. Sounds weird, but I like kooky stuff. Anyhoo, I figured with the more romantic look, it may help with TTC.

Oh, I have my own office!!!!! Always wanted one! I had to share Kenny's before. Now, I have my own. The office will be decorated with all my Disney stuff....I am going with a "dreams" theme.

The meds are doing better now....I'm cautiously optimistic. I have to watch how much I eat of certain stuff, but it's coming along now. I've lost another inch now!

So psyched!

Hey, whatever it takes - right?

You go girl!
( But now I have the song "Tarzan Boy" going through my head.)

Congrats on the new place!!

very cool! I hate moving but it sounds like you've gone quickly and made the place your own!!

congrats on another inch!

girls, retrieval went good yesterday. Just a TON of pain. But they said nothing to worry about if I have no nausea or bleeding, neither of which I have.

Today I get a call with the fertilization report and I'm a nervous wreck!!!!

Sounds great lady! I love love reinventing / redecorating our home! Hoping to do that with some rooms this year!

 

[tinytreasures]

fingers and toes crossed for you Cher

 

[Kronk's girl]

Cherbear- I am glad the retrieval went well!

Kennywife- have fun with the decorating!

Ead79- good luck with your doctor, I hope they have an answer to figure out the blood test- hope it all goes well!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I started sewing a bunch of new baby things for all the showers I have coming up. I tried to sew a skirt for myself too, but that didn't quite turn out right when I went to zip it up, haha. I think I might stick to baby stuff!

I hope everything else goes well Cherbear- wishing all of us the best!

3 out of 5 eggs fertilized (I had a total of 10 but since we were doing the egg-share I only had 5 for myself)

So a 3 day transfer is VERY probable, meaning transfer should be Wednesday!

They will call me tomorrow to let me know how the embies are growing and if it will definitely be a 3dt (3 day transfer)

I don't understand the "egg share"? Are you sharing your eggs with someone else? That is great that you had 10! OMG WEDNESDAY! I'm so excited!

yep I sure am. It helped with the costs and I was able to help someone else out. I've just had to trust in God through all of this and will continue to. And of course all of you girls' support here has been great!!
