So I'll be itching to stop BCPs and start on Jan 2 lol. </p> <p>@sweetooth: :goodluck: :goodluck: FX for your IUI! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1905082 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 11:20:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1905082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: FX this is the one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904968 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 10:06:13 +0000 alohaorchid 1904968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: Thanks, me too! I've been checking the website and a morning appointment just came up for November 15th so I booked that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904949 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 10:00:17 +0000 babycanuck 1904949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No news this week. I started with a fitness program for 90 days in hopes of losing some weight, and a coach helping me along to keep me in check.</p> <p>My pre-op appointment is 10/24 and I've been counting down since I got the appointment to 11/6. Took the week of work off after that to rest up. Surgeon recommended taking it easy for 4 days. Unfortunately DH can't take me because he just started a new job - I'm a bit bummed about it but my mom is going to take me and stay with me until he gets home. I don't know if the surgery will mess up my cycle or not but the surgeon said we can try right after I get my first period after she's done her work. FX that it's a normal month.</p> <p>Anxious about it all, just want it done so we can go back to TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904948 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 10:00:06 +0000 sweetooth 1904948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: I could never fast until 6pm! Ugh - it's always a pain when you have to take a whole day off for something like this. I hope a magical, perfect-time appointment appears for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904920 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 09:46:55 +0000 alohaorchid 1904920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: All of the appointments are at weird times, like 6pm. I have to fast for 12 hours so I don't want to go without food all day. There was one 11am appointment that could have worked but I can't go to work after blood work so it would mean taking the whole day off. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904849 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 09:04:53 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1904849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: I hope so! FX for a successful FET next month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904829 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 08:55:01 +0000 sweetooth 1904829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: Thank you! And yay - saline sonograms are way less complicated. I still think they can clear the way for success too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904800 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 08:44:17 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1904800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: FX for success this cycle! :goodluck: </p> <p>I keep saying HSG...actually it's a SHG (no dye, only saline; no XR, but ultrasound instead)! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904739 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 08:15:58 +0000 sweetooth 1904739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: That's so great! I'm glad the home study went well and you are approved. Here's to continued positive news with each and every step that gets you closer to your BFP :heart: </p> <p>@alohaorchid: What's decent? I know for me b/w appts always fall in the AM and it's easiest to just get them out of the way.</p> <p>@Shutterbug: Those words are perfection. Thank you so much for sharing this.</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: January does feel far away, but this time of year always accelerates to January. At least you do have a schedule and you can plan accordingly. Sounds like you're getting everything all set up. I'm so hopeful for you :heart: </p> <p>@GreenThumb: What's a "j-o-l candy bucket"? Enjoy your visit with your best friend! I wish I could schedule one of those kinds of trips myself...</p> <p>@FliegepilzHut: I hope the HSG clears things out and makes room for success in your uterus! :)</p> <p>- - -<br /> I triggered last night and have my IUI scheduled for tomorrow AM. Both of my IUIs this time around have fallen on the weekend making it impossible to have the actual IUI with my doctor. Not that it <i>really</i> matters but we did get our BFP when we had our IUI with her last time. So I feel like she's good luck. Anywho - just trying to trust this process once again and still prepare myself for the what-if scenario. I will find out if we are pregnant about a week before both my birthday and my son's 1st birthday. So there's too much going on at that point to think about continuing to cycle. I feel like if this IUI doesn't work, we'll be taking a break from treatments for a while. Maybe even until next Spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904376 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:47:54 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1904376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: I hope O comes soon!

I love hearing good updates from you! FX for January!!! :goodluck: </p> <p>@Shutterbug: Aww...that's so sweet and so true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904293 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:09:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1904293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: thank you. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904267 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:01:46 +0000 FaithFertility 1904267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been really emotional and wanted to stop by and let all of you ladies know that I lurk here and pray for all of you! </p> <p>Please know I hope and pray nothing but the best :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1904171 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 19:03:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1904171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I hope January arrives soon. Maybe we'll both be going through an FET at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1903777 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:55:31 +0000 GreenThumb 1903777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: That's great! I'm glad it was that easy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1903772 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:55:10 +0000 GreenThumb 1903772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got pumpkins for the front steps and gourds for inside. Also I always hang up these old-school cardboard jack-o-lantern and skeleton cutouts that we had when I was a kid. Those are on our front and side doors. I also have my j-o-l candy bucket and and a black cat on our wood stove. And I have fall leaves and bittersweet in a vase on my kitchen window. Oh, and a couple of gourds and a straw pumpkin on our mantle. Hmmm… I didn't realize I decorated that much!</p> <p>No big updates for me. Still on BCPs, acupuncture weekly, and starting Lupron injections on Saturday. Otherwise, excited to take a trip to visit my best friend next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1903767 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:52:27 +0000 BSB 1903767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: Cool. Thanks. I called one and they definitely said they could do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1903765 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:51:24 +0000 GreenThumb 1903765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: A fertility clinic will totally do your monitoring for you! I just had to schedule two u/s at a new clinic before my upcoming FET. Just ask if they do u/s monitoring (they should know what you mean) and then your regular doc should put in an order for you with that clinic. :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1016#post-1903718 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:32:01 +0000 BSB 1903718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do I decorate for fall?<br /> -I'll put something on the door. DH might put orange lights up for Halloween to attract the kiddos. This might be the first time we might get trick-or-treaters because we moved into a house with a neighborhood. Oh, I might try those Halloween silhouettes that was posted on a recent thread. </p> <p>Updates: None really. Starting my stims on 23rd. ER will be early Nov probably. Then RE wants me to take a break before my FET which will be end of January. I was hoping the FET would be before Christmas but guess I was a bit too eager. With these dates, I can now schedule my Christmas vacation. I might have to find a office to check my suppression check while I'm away in preparation of FET. So need to start looking into an office that can do that. Should I call a fertility clinic and ask if they will do that? I am going home for Christmas so I'll know the area.</p> <p>ETA: Ok, I called a local RE office and they should be able to fit me in. </p>
