Welcome to the group!:flower: Good luck and lots of sticky baby dust to you for your FET! :dust::dust: I hope you get your BFP! :dust::dust:

I don't have any suggestions other than what TTCbaby said, but maybe some of the other girls have a few more. I am so sorry that you had cancer! :hugs::hugs: I hope it is gone for good! :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Welcome alliwantis
So sorry you had to go through so much. Really hope your luck is changing now and you get only good news from now onwards.

I have been sick with the flu hence haven't been on much. Getting nervous as my RE appointment next week.

Hope everyone is well and keepingbusy. Oct/ nov is just around the corner. Wishing this thread loads of baby dust.
 
@Unlucky, I hope you feel better soon! :hugs: Good luck with your RE appointment, I hope it goes great! :thumbup:

Okay so AFM, after debating with DH and nagging at him I got him to agree to us doing the FET this Spring 2016. I am just glad that he has agreed to something 100% and he is on board so I can plan for it. He was driving me nuts with uncertainty and I was stressing feeling like I didn't know what was going on! :wacko: The only part of this is that I don't like is that the baby will be due in the middle of winter when cold and flu season is at it's peak, and when newborns get sick it always is really hard on them! I wish I could be due earlier like the Fall of 2016 but I can't get DH to agree to do it any sooner, and I don't want to put it off any longer than the Spring because time is going so fast, I am not getting any younger and I would prefer for the kids to be closer in age! So I wish we were doing it sooner, but I am okay with this plan and I will stop nagging at my poor DH now! LOL! :haha::blush: Right now 6 months seems like forever to wait to do the FET! I just hope the time goes by fast and I can keep myself busy with my other hobbies! :doh:

So even though I won't be doing my FET with you girls since I am waiting until Spring 2016, I still want to stalk the thread and cheer all of you girls on!

Glad to hear you got him to agree to something:thumbup: But too bad your FET will first be in the spring:nope: Here's hoping these 6 months fly by and your FET day is here before you know it:happydance: Have you narrowed it to a specific month?

You're more than welcome to stalk and let us know how you're doing:flower: I'm sure all of us here will appreciate you cheering us on:flower: I know I will seeing as how I don't have much support anywhere else other than the ladies on BnB :(

AFM I'm pretty sure I Oed late Monday or early Tuesday so now comes my wait for AF to show up :haha: Otherwise looking forward to my IVF meeting in almost 1½ weeks and preparing questions although I don't have many. Trying to get DH to read about IVF but he's so busy with his new job and on the weekends it's almost impossible to get him to read about stuff like that. I think I'll end up taking some paper and a pen with so he can write any questions down while hearing about IVF at the meeting.

On a more personal note, my narcissistic sister tried to create drama on FB again. I had posted that quote by Robin Williams: "I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone." My sister commented and wrote "Wow...Exactly who are you referring to?" She's basically admitting something without actually doing so and is clearly out to make me feel wrong about me feelings, yet again (something all the narcissists in my "family" do). I've decided not to respond, she's clearly out after a drama episode and I refuse to do so, especially so close to my IVF.

To make it funny, a few hours later she put a pic up of the Wicked Witch and it says "Let's hope it's not one of those weeks when I have to unleash the flying monkeys because I will." Flying monkey is also a term for a person the narcissist uses to do their bidding (more about them: https://facesofnarcissism.com/2015/03/23/472/) That's why her comment is so funny, she's admitting something yet again without really doing so :rofl:
 
Hi all, I'm joining you from the August/September forum! my signature pretty much explains my journey so far... Where's everyone else up to?
 
Wannabeprego so glad your husband has agreed on a date. You have the twins to keep you busy no doubt. Do you think you could organise a family holiday before your FET cycle? Keep you busy and something fun for everyone.

Kat it is hard to come up with questions especially when you have been termed unexplained. I am trying to come up with questions for next week as well but from experience my RE usuallydoes his homework and give me what he thinks the best plan of attack.

ES89 welcome to this board. How your operation goes well. My friend was trying naturally for two years to get pregnant. Finally they found a cyst got it removed and now pregnant. Hope you have the same luck!!!!

Welcome ES89:flower: So sorry your IVF got cancelled because of those cysts:( It's so hard when that happens, it happened for one of my 6 (failed) IUIs and I know how upset I was. Must be worse when it's an IVF cycle:wacko:

I will be going to my IVF start meeting at the hospital September 28th so first can start after this date. I will be starting October as far as I can tell unless there's a darn waiting period afterwards but I hope not!

Yeah that's the problem:( DH and I will end up not really having any unless DH has any questions about the IVF process but maybe those will come up while he's hearing about it.
 
Wanna - Well I am happy at least you have a plan.

ES - Welcome! I hope you get to start soon. When will they do your surgery?

Kat - I looked back at my list of questions I had from my first IVF cycle and they were more about the procedure. The only one I asked was how many eggs she was expecting to get and a few about ICSI. We don't have a sperm issue but she did 1/2 ICSI and 1/2 IVF and it helped them see that the regular IVF is much better for us. I hope that helps.
 
Thanks for the welcomes 😊 I was heart broken at the time but now there's a plan in action I'm dealing with it 😊 roll on 30th September to get the little demons out!
One of my work collegues had cysts removed n she fell pregnant pretty soon after so maybe your right unlucky41!
Where is everyone having "treatment"?
 
I'm at south Miami institute for reproductive medicine.

I am in the USA on the east coast! My Clinic where I will be doing the transfer is in upstate NY.:thumbup:
 
AFM, My AF was due yesterday and it hasn't come yet so I have been taking HPT's. I thought I saw something really faint this morning but it could of just been line eye. I am going to keep testing until either AF shows or I get lucky and it never does! LOL! My birthday came and went but we just hung out around the house. DH picked me up a B-day cake and some food to go. I was tired and couldn't find the energy to get out to do something fun. I will try to do something fun and get out next weekend instead!

If I get a chance I will post my HPT pics that i took from this morning.
 
Oh wow wannabeprego that sounds like wonderful news. Please post the pictures. Very exciting what did the hubby say?
 
Hi can I join too?
Here's our story. DH (28) me (25) have a 3 year old DD who was conceived naturally after TTC only 2-3 months. Fast forward 2 years.. We started TTC in November 2014. In May we started to get curious as to why it's taking so much longer. In June we met with an RE. He tested DH's swimmers. We got back the numbers and they were quite low. Additionally, I needed a hysteroscopy done to remove scar tissue from my C-section with DD.
We did an IUI cycle August, but that was negative.
IUI was done with Femara and Trigger.
Since the numbers were super low after the sperm wash the RE recommended we move on to IVF.
Two weeks ago I started birth control pills (seems counter productive for conceiving, but that's how it's done ) and then in 1 week we begin injections. I think I will be on Follistim, ganirelix, ovidrel.

I'm really excited and anxious!
 
Yes wanna post a pic! Wouldn't it just be awesome!

Welcome Rebecca!
 
Welcome rebecca822:flower:

Where is everyone having "treatment"?

Well I live in Copenhagen, Denmark (although I was born and lived in the US until I was 16) and the closest hospital to us is called Hvidovre Hospital so going there. Will be going to our 1st meeting the 28th (only 1 week to go, eeek:happydance:) and assume we can start right after since we've gotten all our testing done.


Kat - I looked back at my list of questions I had from my first IVF cycle and they were more about the procedure. The only one I asked was how many eggs she was expecting to get and a few about ICSI. We don't have a sperm issue but she did 1/2 ICSI and 1/2 IVF and it helped them see that the regular IVF is much better for us. I hope that helps.

Thanks I'll try asking our RE this:flower:

UPDATE: Almost forgot that my 1st appointment is in 1 week :happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:

Can't wait to get the ball rolling. I'm 36, almost 36½, and don't have time for this waiting stuff:haha:

My hair dresser said today she'll be eagerly waiting to be updated in 2-2½ months and to be sure to book her exclusively next time :haha:
 
Wanna -post a pic!

Rebecca - welcome

Es89 - I'm in Hawaii

AFM - I started estrace last week took my last bcp tonight. Now just waiting for AF later this week and then get my official transwer date which should be around the 14th.
 
Hopethis year all the best the wait is finally over soon. 14 Oct is just around the corner. Excited to follow your journey with you.

AFM have my RE appointment today so I will find out whether it will be oct or November. Hoping all the tests are good and we can start straight away but thinking November more realistic.
 
Just came back from my appointment. We are good to go next cycle. Hope I ovulate ok. It would be a lovely xmas present to get a BFP.

Seriously some minutes I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to be sick since this is our last chance.

Hoping your tests all come back good.
