Sorry to hear that lady luck 12

Ali, wow OHSS sounds painful! I hope you are feeling better. That's great news about your embies- are you doing the transfer tomorrow? FX!

Lady I am so sorry about your news. I'll keep you in my prayers.

 

[TTCisapain]

lady -- so sorry to hear the news ... will pray for you ...

Alicatt -- that is great news, congratulations!!

So I just got a call from my insurance company's specialty pharmacy to confirm some information because the doctor put the order in... I guess they send it to my house, which is good because my local pharmacy could hardly handle the clomid and I was curious as to how they would handle injectibles! So this is what's in the order:
Crinone Gel (progesterone) 15 applications, alcohol swabs, sharps container, needles, syringes, 1 HCG vial, Follistem and a Follistem pen... Not sure what the pen is for since I already have a bunch of needles and syringes? So anyone else been on this cocktail? Kind of nervous...not going to lie...

6DPIUI ... prog test this morning, should know results tomorrow. So, I think to myself ... do y'all think you make up pregnancy symptoms like I do? I think I go crazy with every little twitch ... I am sure it is my stress levels that are causing me not to get preggers. Wish I could turn my mind off during the 2WW!!

Also, I am rarely political, but since my DH and I have been looking at adoption, we found out the Tax Credit is supposed to be ending in 2012 unless Congress votes to extend them. That means there will no longer be a $12K tax credit for adoptions. It will actually go down to $6K but only for special needs adoptions which does not cover infant adoptions. The Bill is HR4373. My local rep is co-sponsoring the bill but it would be great if the bill gets more sponsors before the end of the year.

I am sure I make up symptoms all the time. Also, I think it is possible that I have a brain tumor that causes random aches and pains and things.

7DPIUI ... prog test came back at 57 so that was good. Take an HPT on Wed 9/26. Oh, how I loathe POAS. I would rather AF just show up b/c seeing a BFN is too hard. But, since I am on prog supplements it wont show, so I have no choice.

On the positive side I did O, so hopefully timing was right. I met w/ the adoption agency last night and will find out tomorrow if they are accepting me, so I will have a decision to make at that time if they say "yes". But, I really liked the agency and they were very detailed and personable.

Hey All,

I had the ET (embryo transfer) yesterday, and was ordered to stay in bed for 2 days. Well I've done that and I'm going stir crazy! Luckily I can get back to my normal lifestyle starting tomorrow. Although I am still going to take it easy, but no more lying in bed!

So they were able to transfer 2 excellent blastocysts, and the FS said the transfer went off without a hitch, and he was pleased with how everything turned out.

Now we wait, I guess I've been in the 2WW since Friday of last week, so I'm 6DPO, 1dp5dt, or whatever the terms are. I go in on Monday for my progesterone test, and then again the following Monday (Oct 1st) for the BETA. Personally I think that is way too long, as that would be 17DPO. I am sure that I will see a on a HPT before then if I am pregnant.

Can I just say that I hate the 2WW! It is absolutely unbearable!

Im glad to hear everything went well. Im definitely cheering for you. I know that waiting 10 days for a BETA test sounds grueling. My suggestion is to not start testing too early because you will be more crazy than Im sure you already are. I really hope this is your month.

Thanks JandK!! I'm sorry to hear that this past month was unsuccessful, and I'm hoping that October is your month!

TTCisapain: I hate POAS, but it may be too early at dpiui to get the BFP right? Good luck with the adoption agency! That is so exciting!

Alicatt: Yay! So glad your embies did so well! I hope they stick. How would you feel if they both did and you got twins? Good luck Monday!

Karenh -- I will be 13 DPIUI on Wed, so that sounds about right to POAS. My cycle is usually 27 days, so if no show on HPT should get AF by next Friday (Im super regular)

Alicatt -- Congratulations!! Hoping for your BFP!!!

All -- I heard back from the adoption agency today too ... we were accepted into the program for this month, so we now need to sit down and make a decision. We wont have the $ for both, so it is either IVF or adoption. I dont like the odds w/ IVF, and in adoption there are no guarantees either, but the success rate is a little higher. Decisions, decisions.

WOW! Adoption is awesome. I didn't think it was even an option. How does it all work? BTW, I was adopted, and boy oh boy am I happy I got the awesome parents I have today!!!

 

[TTCisapain]

Well, the agency that I am looking into is Angel Adoption through Cary, IL. They are a nationwide adoption agency / marketing place so we pay a fee for them to send our profile out to birthmothers looking for adoptive parents. They are a private agency so the stats on adopting are about 95% within 2 years with 90% being matched within 1 year of starting. All in all the fees are about the same as IVF $13K - 24K, but there is a tax credit for 13,7K right now, I am hoping the credit is extended in 2013. The tax credit can be used to offset the expenses of adoption.

Basically, if we say "yes" we will create our profile and it will start being sent out until a birthmother selects us. If / when she does (which is usually in the 3rd trimester) we will meet / talk with her and if it is "yes" we wait until the baby is born. We have to have a "home study" completed by a social worker. They will interview me and DH as well as references. Also, come and look at the home (for safety reasons only).

It will be a big decision. Of course, if we say yes I bet I get PG in the next couple of months. But, with them they will put a hold on our contract and we can adopt later without a waiting period to be placed on their active list.

 

[TTCisapain]

Alicatt -- BTW ... they do look for a variety of couples / single mothers looking to adopt. I really hope / pray you get your BFP. But, if not and you are interested that is another option
