Gabbie- your trip plans sound awesome! Here are my top 3 attractions by park:

Magic Kingdom - Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Space Mountain
EPCOT - Soarin', World Showcase, Spaceship Earth
Hollywood Studios - Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror, Great Movie Ride
Animal Kingdom - Everest, Kilamanjaro Safari, Tough to be a Bug

My absolute favorite place to eat is Le Cellier. Just thinking about it makes me hungry!

So my estrogen officially came down!

What a relief! So happy we can proceed with this IVF cycle and not have to wait until June!

I will begin with stimulating meds tomorrow (Follistim and Menopur) and then go back to the RE on Sunday. It looks like we will probably do the retrieval sometime around April 17th. I'm excited, but very nervous.

Thanks for all the positive thoughts!

Wonderful! So exciting!

Ditto these...I would just add splash and RockNRoller Coaster!

My absolute favorite place to eat in the entire WORLD is Le Cellier!!! (Obviously, I haven't been out of the USA though...but so far Le Cellier tops my list )

Thanks! Hope your Clomid cycle is going well!

You and me both! I really feel like I ovulated, so let's hope it's true! Of course, ovulation doesn't automatically equal pregnancy, but it's a necessary step LOL!

We were able to get in today. (We had to reschedule cause she was in surgery last time and we weren't told till we got there).

Great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have: Infertility, PCOS, Endo, etc. I DO have: a thyroid problem.

My hormones and insulin are down!

We can go in for a class that will tell us all we need to know and on my next AF, I get to schedule the HSG.

She put me on a thyroid medication to help me with weight loss and regulating my cycles!

Sooo happy!!!!!!

Great news today!!!!!

That is really great news.

 

[cherbear]

Gabbie, are you hypothyroid? That is what my mom has.

Glad you have ANSWERS! Thyroid can certainly hinder your fertility. I'm surprised you never knew you had it til now. Have you had other symptoms?

 

[Kennywife]

I have facial hair...have to shave just like a guy.

Also, I'm overweight. I've been on every diet imaginable. It only works for a while. I stay big. I'm over 200 pounds. Hubby says I'm PHAT.....Pretty Hot and Tempting. I also get tired easy and my AF's are spotty.

 

[Falltime]

So I was reading this article today on the stats of getting pregnant. As we probably all know we only have a 20% chance any given month but after age 40 it drops to 5%. The one I didn't know was so high is that 60-80% of all naturally conceived embryos are flushed out of the body unnoticed through your period.

After reading this I think geez it's a wonder anybody ever gets pregnant at all, it really is like winning the lottery almost....

Do you know how your RE ruled out PCOS? The only reason I ask is that I have several of your symptoms, yet they say I have PCOS, not a thyroid issue. I too am overweight (having tried WW faithfully numerous times), I too tire easily, and my AF disappeared for a while (though thankfully she's back as of late).

 

[Kennywife]

I had a lab work up done.

Fantastic! Now once you get your thyroid in order, you can get down to the fun BDing! Lol

 

[Falltime]

congrats! this is great news!

Thank you so much! That really means a lot! I'm also praying that our IVF cycles will end with BFP's! 2011 has been off to a good start for many of the ladies on this thread....let's keep it going!

I hope I will join in on your soon to be BFPs even though I'm not IVF. I have my IUI scheduled for Thursday. I stimmed very quickly at the beginning and then sort of plateaued. Right now my follicles are 17, 15, 3 14s, and 2 13s. My lining (which was a problem on all my Clomid cycles) is good. Keep everything crossed for me as I enter my 2WW! Good luck to CC and Cher as you start stimming!
