MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

I'm off to the doctor tonight to get the details of my long protocol ivf. Due to start in about a week. Dh has been keen to go, which is a great change. Keeping positive. Or trying to at least.
 
Wonderful news newbie! I wish all the best for you!

Good luck newbie, making up my mind to move to IVF was the difficult step, the actual process of IVF was lot better than I thought, seemed like a breeze compared to my three long years of agonising ttc with unexplained infertility
 
Thanks ladies. It was a hard decision for us as well. I'm relieved that Dh is the one pushing for it now. Hopefully the process will be straight forward.
 
I hope you'll have a good, clear protocol with a strong success rate behind it.
 
Thank you! I start on 27th January. Dh freaked out while the doc was explaining the protocol. I don't think he realised the level of meds that I'd be on. I knew. Spent hours researching online! Keep praying for us!
 
athena congrats =) h&h 9 --- well 8 months? :flower::baby:
Profwife congrats on team pink :wohoo:
newbie - good luck!
 
Newbie- just a few more days! What does your protocol look like?
 
Long protocol, so I start down regulation on the 27th and stims probably on the 8th February. Monitoring a few days later. Hopefully egg collection sometime around the 15/16 at a guess. Hoping to do at least one (egg collection or embryo transfer) on a weekend as no one at work knows anything about this and it is extremely unlike me to take days off. Considering telling my boss but I would prefer not to. I don't even want to tell dh's sister who Is staying with us right now. Thankfully they leave on the 26th so I'll get my meds that afternoon. Trying to stay relaxed about it.
 
If you do need to tell your boss, you can go with a simple explanation of you having a medical appointment. I rarely told my main admin what kind of medical appointment (as it's none of his business) and it's against the law for them to ask in the US. I told people who I could trust if I needed to at work, but if it was someone who really didn't need to know, I didn't feel compelled to explain.
 
Thanks for the great idea and support. I will probably bore all of you with my stressed out, hormonal stories over the next few weeks, so I apologise in advance. I really appreciate knowing that we are all connected and there for each other. Thank you.
 
I agree in not telling boss. If you don't normally take days off, they will realize this is something important. And the less people you tell, the less they are in your business, which you seem like me in that you're pretty private about all of this.

I'm hoping this goes well for you!!!
 
We are here to be a sounding board for you- its definitely not boring! I agree with the others about not telling your boss!

Profwife- how are you feeling?
 
Agreed - when you're having those hormonally induced moments, you know there's a safe place on here to get it out. Sometimes, you just need someone to listen.

In my world, frustrated with a husband who takes on far more than he should at any one time (lead on a project, fraternity mentor, hoa president, trying to get on an oversight board at a bank, leadership at church, painting the interior, etc., etc., etc.). He can't seem to say no to anything except me...and I'm just so over him being so exhausted by everything that I can't get any time with me. We just fought for 45 minutes because I'm trying to get him to cut back on things that don't matter so we can focus on trying to get things set up for the baby (I'm going back into the classroom for 8 weeks to cover someone else's maternity leave) as I'm worried I won't have time to get anything done until I'm so pregnant I won't have energy TO get it done...but it doesn't seem to register with him. He just gets pissed, tells me to delay getting things until we get the room ready but doesn't understand what I'm looking at as a timeline without the time or energy to get things done for the next 2 months.

Looks like I've got the hormonal ravings already going...and I just feel like throwing up right now (I've been sick to my stomach and had a headache all night). I feel like nothing but an inconvenience to his massive plans to make an impact in the world. I don't think he understands that I couldn't care less about the impact he makes out there if the impact he makes at home isn't one that is healthy and thriving...it starts here...not out there...
 
:hugs::hugs::hugs:

Keep trying to communicate with him hun...for now that's all you can do. I hope he will start to hear what you are saying and understand your point of view. To me, it sounds like he is scared and stressed and nervous so is piling on other things to avoid things with the baby. And then when it's brought up, that fear is touched on so he gets defensive..cue argument. My DH and I had a very hard adjustment to being parents. But at the end of the day, you know that you love each other and as long as you keep talking and being honest with one another, it will work out. :hugs:
 
I know. It's just hard when he talks about all the things he wants to accomplish, but none of them seem to involve us...I don't want to have to explain to our daughter why Daddy never has time to play with her in a few years. He needs to be able to set things aside for the benefit of someone else rather than always thinking that providing is enough...he has more that he can offer than financial or social opportunities...there is so much more to him than that.
 
We had our ultrasound today and baby had a strong hb.
