So back in the TWW. Again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309991 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 12:00:44 +0000 LovelyPlum 1309991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msmug: congratulations!!!</p> <p>@Happygal: Sure! I basically said that we are excited to share that baby will be joining us in April, that it's been a long road, but that we feel blessed. I also said to our friends still on their journey, please know that you're never alone. (I hope you don't mind that I don't repost the exact thing-paranoid me doesn't want anyone to google it and my FB to come up ;) ) I know that it may still sting for some people, but I'm glad that I did it. After all, every baby deserves to be celebrated, and we got a lot of great support :)</p> <p>@gingerbebe: :grin: that's awesome news! Congrats!</p> <p>@SweetiePie: I'm excited for you!!</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: hey there! I've been thinking about you lately. I'm so hopeful that 2014 is a good year for you. You deserve to be happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309901 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:25:09 +0000 Happygal 1309901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I was a major B-word last cycle. I think it was a potent combo of disappointment+holidays+hormones. I'd be fine one minute, then so angry with my husband the next, then anxious after snapping that he would finally be fed up with my craziness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309743 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:24:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1309743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: hugs. I hope you're okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309659 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:57:25 +0000 SweetiePie 1309659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Aw sorry you're feeling so down. But if there's anywhere to vent and throw pity parties, it's here! So post away!<br /> I had a horrible day on Saturday. I was a horrible bitch to my inlaws and was so negative to my husband. It was a beautiful day otherwise. We surprised his mom with a visit and gift, went to lunch, then DH and I went shopping alone and he spoiled me (since he knows this IVF stuff is tough). I pretended in my mind that something he and his dad had done earlier in the day is what made me mad. But in the end I knew I wasn't mad at any of them, I was just sad and taking it out on them. I spent the night crying and apologizing to him. My point is, we get it! You're sad and it's better to be a negative Nancy to us than anyone in real life ;-)</p> <p>@Happygal: I do the same thing! When I see crying screaming babies I use it as a temporary comfort. Lol. At least I can sleep in, ignore crying babies, go out with friends without needing a sitter, etc. Of course I'd give up all of that for a baby of our own, but in the short term when that's not possible, or right after a bfn, that makes me feel a little better :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309650 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:54:17 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1309650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Sorry you're having a rough time, its totally understandable :( I hope the new year brings good things for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309617 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:45:32 +0000 Happygal 1309617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I've been thinking about you! I'm sorry you're really down. Did you hear back from the therapist who cancelled, or are you over seeing her? I understand if you need breaks from HB from time to time, but do hope you'll check in with us. How were the holidays? </p> <p>I'm in the waiting room at the re right now. Twins are throwing an incredible fit. I told my husband it helps me to feel temporarily ok with not having any babies right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1309330 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 05:06:03 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1309330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone. Hope everyone had a good Christmas, if you celebrate. And Happy New Year.</p> <p>I wrote a long post, and then deleted it because it was pretty negative. </p> <p>I'm just feeling really down lately. So...yeah. I'll just leave it at that, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1308056 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 13:23:39 +0000 FaithFertility 1308056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I think when my time comes I will do the same, since I know how hard it is to see those posts..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1308027 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 13:14:07 +0000 FaithFertility 1308027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Fun, Las Olas is like a down town area very fun and the strip right on the beach has bars, reastruants and fun shops.....its a fun place you will have a blast, all of this is so lose to the Port :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1307976 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 13:02:10 +0000 Happygal 1307976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: what a wonderful surprise! Congrats.</p> <p>@sweetiepie: oh my! I'm sure you're on pins and needles. Fingers crossed the Estradiol quickly does the trick for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1307778 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:51:52 +0000 SweetiePie 1307778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies,<br /> I've been just awful with these check-in threads! I read everyone's updates and plan on replying to all of them later and never do.<br /> Even though I'm tardy with my replies, I'm still reading along, cheering and crying with each of you.</p> <p>Super quick update from me.<br /> RE appt this morning - my lining is looking good but they upped my dosage of Estradiol again (2mg 3x per day) and I don't go back until Friday.<br /> Still no solid FET date, but he said it will definitely be next week. Can. not. wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1307763 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:46:03 +0000 SweetiePie 1307763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Wow! That's crazy! But crazy good! Hoping its a nice, sticky baby for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1307755 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:43:15 +0000 gingerbebe 1307755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, so this is totally bizarre. My cycles have been totally off (as in I will go 4 months without a period) since my brain surgery. Even before that, I never had "normal" length cycles - they were usually like 35 days long. In November, I had a sudden, really intense period that lasted about a week and then I started fertility diagnostic testing. They wanted to schedule an HSG, but I couldn't tell them when my next period would be, so I was told to wait and then call if it gets to beyond 40-ish days. Well today is like day 42, so I took a HPT this morning before asking for the progesterone trigger, and it was a BFP!?!! I e-mailed the clinic to ask them what I should do, but I'm super nervous. We just found out last week that DH has low motility on top of my issues so, this is totally unexpected! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1307421 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:01:49 +0000 msmug 1307421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leialou: so sorry to hear. </p> <p>@mrs. someone: congrats to being 7wks! I'm 2wks behind you and am anxiously waiting for my u/s which is scheduled for next week. This waiting is driving me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1307258 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:51:52 +0000 Happygal 1307258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: fun! Want to share what you posted?</p> <p>@faithfertility: I'm in Virginia. We've added two extra days just for traveling. Any advice on fun things to do in Fort Lauderdale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1306670 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 21:39:32 +0000 LovelyPlum 1306670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I'm just now seeing this, and I am so, so sorry. Sending you hugs and peace :heart:</p> <p>@Happygal: happy belated birthday!</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: I'm ready to hear some good news about your u/s on Tuesday :)</p> <p>My update for the week is that we decided to announce on FB today. I was nervous, mostly because FB announcements can be really hard to take. But I tried to do it with tact, and I referenced the road that it took to get here. I hope it was the right thing to do. It's crazy that it's really, really not a secret anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1306442 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 19:48:16 +0000 FaithFertility 1306442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Have a blast!!!!

What ship?</p> <p>Best of luck with the next cycle.....I pray and hope it goes just as you wish! IM happy to hear DH is on board for an IUI that can help things alto!!!!!!:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1305766 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 11:31:00 +0000 Happygal 1305766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I'd love to hear about your cruise experiences! I've only been on one before and enjoyed it. Which cruise line did you travel with, and where did you go? My husband and I always do road trip-adventure types of vacations together, so I'm really looking forward to just relaxing.</p> <p>For the last two injectable cycles, we've done a low and slow approach. The goal was more to get my lining thickened up, and I think I only had 2 eggs (maybe just 1?) the first cycle, and just 1 last time. The dosage is much higher this time to hopefully get up to 3 eggs, and my husband has given the green light for an IUI. I'm nervous about how my body is going to react, and that my husband will once again change his mind last minute. And I'm nervous that if it does work, we could have twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1305748 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 11:19:57 +0000 FaithFertility 1305748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: ughhh jealous, we love to cruise!!!!!!! </p> <p>What is your more aggressive approach consist of??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1305744 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 11:16:06 +0000 Happygal 1305744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: let us know the results! I'm glad things are going well for you.</p> <p>@faithfertility: No cruising yet--we'll be headed out in February. </p> <p>I went to the RE yesterday and we talked about what to do. He put 3 options on the table: 1) be more aggressive this cycle, upping my medication dosage; 2) have surgery to take care of what he is certain is endometriosis; 3) IVF. It made my head spin. We're doing the more aggressive meds this time, which makes me nervous but hopeful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1305714 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 10:55:52 +0000 FaithFertility 1305714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: Can't wait for an update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1305701 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 10:45:40 +0000 FaithFertility 1305701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: yay to 7weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1226/page/2#post-1305699 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 10:45:05 +0000 FaithFertility 1305699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Thanks for asking...not yet, I am on day 3 of 7days ...it worked for me before so I am sure it will again! </p> <p>How are you?????
