18 follicles! Something tells me terri is an overachiever.

 

[Spudtastic]

Terri - 18 follies = awesome. I hope you make your game.

Thanks for the congrats. Hubby is stoked. He did a little dance around the living room singing 'my swimmers still work'.

Off to the osteopath now. She's managed to fix my painful hip and I think this is the last visit.

 

[Rainshiny]

Awesome lines, spud! Lots of sticky baby dust to you.

Terri- I think if my RE said that I'd sue. Hahaaha. 18 is the lucky number of the day cause my student finally figured out that 6x3 is 18 and not 16. 🙏🙏🙏

Maybe book is doing more interviews???

My latest technique to rally myself for adoption is to imagine I'm so lucky I can pay someone else to be pregnant for me, sort of. Lol...what's wrong with me??!😝😁 I swear to god I always thought I would adopt. I am lovin livin thru your stories tho!!!!

 

[moni77]

Yay for the number 18!

 

[Taurus8484]

Well ladies, I will be MIA for the next few days whilst I head to the beach.

Peachy - best of luck with retreival and hope everything goes well and all 18 follies make it to whatever they have to make it too.........sorry my knowledge of IVF is very very limited..........non existant almost lol

 

[Spudtastic]

Taurus - have fun at the beach

Rainshiny - I hope you get your baby soon. Have you heard how long the process can take? Does someone have to choose you as parents?

 

[terripeachy]

Rain-You can pay someone! they go through the hard part (?), and you go through the hard part. I hope you get your baby soon. Did you finish your profile?

Taurus-Have a great time at the beach and thanks for the kind sentiments. The info will all be here!

 

[kfs1]

Taurus - Have a great trip!

Rain - I second spud's question. Any updates?

Terri - YEAH once again for the lucky 18.

Someday - I think I totally forgot to say that I'm so happy your surgery went well and is over and done with. How are you feeling?

I'm starting on my IVF journey as well ladies. Started BCPs, which I will be on for 3 weeks. Ordering meds next week. Hoping for ER the first or second week of November. I am BEYOND excited.

 

[terripeachy]

kfs1-Woohooo! Oh, retrieval is tomorrow, gameday is today. I hope some additional MATURE follies pop up. That would be so fab. I'm off to watch men hit a small ball with a long stick. HA!!HA!! Bye.

 

[BBbliss]

Terry, omg! This is fabulous! I didn't know any of this, GOOD LUCK tomorrow, I'll be praying to the Fertility Goddess for you

Girls, hi everyone, sorry for jumping in like this, I think I only know terry from here, I've cut down on my BnB LOL.

Hi Kfs, we are exactly on the same IFV schedule! This will be our second and last attempt so we have all are eggs on one (ivf) basket

 

[Rainshiny]

That's exciting Kfs!
Have fun Taurus!
Have fun at the game, Terri!!

They say the wait is about 1 to 2 years after the home study is done. We are looking for a healthy baby of any race (Caucasian only is a longer wait, FYI). Either the birth mother chooses us or it's someone who doesn't care to choose the adoptive family. I was joking that adoption is sort of like surrogacy but less expensive (and no genetic tie). Anyway, thanks all for all the encouragement! It really helps.

 

[somedayisnow]

kfs1, almost one week out from surgery and I'm surprised at how well I'm feeling. Although, I did go on an adventure today to Boston Market (I was really jonesing for their cinnamon apples ) and I swear I had to take a nap afterwards. 20 minutes roundtrip and I was for THREE hours!

Good luck to all my IVF ladies on various parts of their journeys. May the BFP fairy chase you down like you stole her money.

Taurus, I hope you have a blast at the beach. If I could go on a permanent vacation the beach would be #1 on my list.

Rainshiny, shh..don't tell anyone but I think I'm most excited for you and your wife. Just the thought that one day soon you're going to get a phone call on a random...Tuesday or whatever and your baby is going to be waiting for you to arrive to bring him/her home. If that isn't magical, I don't know what is.

 

[terripeachy]

BBbliss-hey there!! I didn't realize you were doing IVF again. And you're on your way!! So good to see you.

The game was so much fun last night. I wish I could go to the second home game today, but alas, I'll be watching from home while hubs is living the Bmore life.

I'll write more after retrieval. All systems are go!

 

[Nikki1979]

Good luck at your retrieval today Terri - I hope you pop a lot of eggs

 

[terripeachy]

The surgery is done and I had 17 eggs. Getting lunch and then watching baseball while I rest. So happy!

 

[GalvanBaby]

Awesome, Terri!!! Fxed you have tons of fertilized eggs tomorrow!!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Hi gals! How are you all?

Sorry it's been ages but it's been a hectic week setting up a genealogy program for me to teach for my hometown library, Dr's appointments, DH's been sick (and thus incredibly high maintenance), and I had interviews.

Terri- Awesome about the retrieval. Hope you have freezer fodder after the implantation but I hope even more that you don't need it!

Someday- how are you feeling?

Rain- I love hearing your adoption updates! Congrats on your wife's raise!

Spud - Huge congrats!!!

Taurus - how's the nausea? I hope you are having a wonderful beach weekend.

Hi everyone else I can't scroll back any more on my phone to see what I missed.

AFM - had my 16wk prenatal appt this week with my OB. Heartbeat is great. He wasn't happy with my blood pressure so my GP doubled my dose. He wants to wait until next appointment at the end of the month to talk about the depression vs just hormones to see if it is just hormones. I am feeling ok - just really wiped out and sneezy. I gained 9lbs so far (yikes).
Also, I got a job! An actual reference librarian job! It's super duper part time and seasonal but better than nothing and I can actually use one of my masters degrees!! The sticky wicket is that they don't know I am pregnant. I got an unofficial offer from the director but still need to be cleared through the town. I thought I would tell him when I get the offer in the mail and reassure him that I only plan to take 2 weeks maternity (it's 4 hrs one week and 8hrs the next so not a huge deal to go back then I think)

 

[Fezzle]

Spud- huge congrats! Great line!

Terri- congrats to you will all your eggs! Fx for this cycle!

Rainshiny- I like that way of thinking! It's just outsourcing!

Kfs- glad the ivf is underway!

I am gearing up to ovulate probably anywhere in the next week and BDing has already begun. I have my appointment with the FS tomorrow so feeling positive. I hope it's mostly good news tomorrow and any problems are fixable.

 

[Fezzle]

And book- congrats on the job!

 

[BBbliss]

Terri so good to see you too great retrieval! Congratulations!!!

I just got my prescription order and noticed they upped my meds from first cycle... It won't be easy but here I am

Can't wait for your fertilization report
