So I thought about this before but completely forgot. My parents have my siblings and I growing up on film.

All I have is a camera that can due short clips but I don't think you can continue from where you left off.

Does anyone have or plan on getting a video camera? Think I want to get one. It's just crazy how quickly technology keeps updating.

Lifeis, that's actually pretty quick for AF to show up after a loss! Very happy for you that you're on to the next cycle. I like the PMA you have too!

Breaking, I MISS YOU.

Faithful, anything yet?

River, test test!

Manda, that sounds fantastic!! I'm pretty jealous!

Kins, I have a video camera and I use it all the time. I captured SO many moments when DS was little. DH thinks it's kind of silly but I think it's wonderful having those things on film. I know technology changes but my kids will figure out how to convert DVDs if and when it comes to that

What else is going on? Not much on the front page ladies! Update me with your appointments/dates!

Thank you everyone!!

My holiday is coming up on Friday and I have never felt so ready for one. It's going to be a nice break from the real world. My girls and I r going on a cruise to the Bahamas. My DH can't go as he has to work but the rest of my family is going and my mother in law is coming so there is 12 of us. I wish I was expecting going but my time will come

How was everyone's wknd?

I'm glad you have this trip and it seems like it is well timed too. I know what you mean thinking ahead and hoping to be expecting for certain events. But look at the positive- you can enjoy some more drinks this time (if you drink) and really enjoy yourself without feeling guilty

Kins good call on the camera- I like that idea of just picking up where you left off on filming and not having to make separate clips. I rely too much on my iphone I think and when my time hopefully comes to get pregnant and have a baby I think I will invest in a camera!

My follow up appointment in Nov 18th to go over the last IVF round and discuss what the new treatment plan is. Hopefully after that we will have a little better idea when our next round will be. We were hoping for December but the labs shut down halfway through December and we don't want to chance the timing. Dr did mention doing a longer protocol to get us some more eggs so I am hopeful for that. As long as the quality of them won't be affected! Back to work for me on Thursday. I am looking forward to that! I am not one to just sit around all day of the couch so the last 2 weeks were longer than normal for me.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Manda - I got my BFP the month after I went on vacation. Take the time to enjoy a few

I was wondering if the iphone or ipad video would be enough, is a video camera still necessary? You always have your phone on you.

AFM - Today is my milestone day! I have made it to 13 weeks. Next OB visit is this Fri 11/8.

 

[hockeypucks]

Congrats Lune!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Congrats lune!!!!!

 

[ajd36]

Congrats Lune!!

 

[Allika]

Yay lune! Congrats! I had my first reg OBGYN today and it was very quick and simple.

They looked for heartbeat, found it quickly at 156, said no need for NT scan and all of this if it weren't changing our decision on anything and then scheduled my Gender US for Dec 4th that's a long time now for me without an apt as I have been going weekly to the specialist!

 

[Grateful365]

Manda - Enjoy yourself on your vacation! Start fresh when you return!

Hockey - A BFP for the new year sounds like a good plan and great way to start a new year!

Lune - Wonderful! Congrats on 13 weeks!

Allika - Dec 4 isn't TOO far....SOOOOO excited for the gender u/s! I'm just sure its a boy you have there!

Kins - We bought a Sony HD camera and I think it was around $300 or so. To me it was a must have because I am so into videos and photos, as I love to look back and replay them. I also use my iPhone, but the videos use up the memory fast so you have to keep transferring them over to the computer.

How is everyone else?

AFM - Jimmy is 3 months old today! Time sure flies...he had his first tickle/loud giggle this weekend, which was special - and we caught it on video!

Got the bloodwork done, won't know til later today the results. as in 3pm or later pst.
Had some bright red spotting yesterday (maybe 2 drops), then brown last night and a bit brown this morning. My temps are still high though. The cheapie tests I have all say bfn. I don't like these new tests I have anyways...
If it wasn't for the high temps, I'd say I was completely out. Will know for sure later today though.

 

[CiderDonut]

Sorry about your BFN, Manda. I'm glad that the doctor will be trying to figure out ways to optimize your next cycle.

On my end...
Monitoring U/S on Saturday showed one follicle at 18mm, several still around 12, and E2 levels at 466, so the RE had me trigger Sunday night (36 hours after the ultrasound).

Hopefully the one follicle will make a good egg...and the incessant BDing of the last two days will pay off! And the TWW begins...

How long did it take for the trigger to wash out of your systems? I would hate to have false positives...

 

[lilrojo]

Oooo good luck River.. hope you get good news..

I have an apt on Friday of this week.. as baby was being a trouble maker and made me have an nst for lack of movements.. was sleepy all through that so now im headed back weekly.. getting things done and ready for baby to arrive..

 

[River54]

ciderdonut - The first cycle I had triggered, it was bfn by 11dpo, on ultra sensitive tests. The current cycle, it was bfn by 8dpo on cheapie tests (no where near as sensitive). Depends on your body and your tests. FX for you!

Lune - congrats on the 13 week milestone!

Kins - I keep wondering about a video camera as well. I know our camera can take up to 20 min clips, but it does drain the battery alot more, and there have been occasions where I'd like to take longer films. I'd think it would be less bulky than our camera. OH says we'd need a good tripod then...

Manda - that trip sounds like it is just the thing Have a great relaxing trip!

Anyone take provera before? Anyone taken it for 5 days before?

 

[luna_19]

Devyn had a follow up appointment with the pediatrician from the hospital and he is over his birth weight! Yay

 

[Hopin4ABump]

River, keep us posted!

Rojo, you really are in the home stretch!

Grateful - Happy 3 months to Jimmy!!! Awww!!!! Love the belly laughs.

Luna that's awesome, you're doing things right!! No worries.

 

[Ingodshand]

River- Hope you get some great results today!

Lune- Yay for being at birth weight!!

AFM- Having a really tough day....Both Hubby and DD are sick and work is going crazy. At least we have our anatomy scan this Thursday!!! I got it moved up b/c I have all day work meetings next week. We are planning a surprise gender reveal party for Friday night with our families. Hopefully we can get all the planning done in time.

Hopin- Can you update my date on the first page?

 

[ajd36]

Just had the Harmony test drawn!!

But..... eventhough the test is capable of determining the test my HMO won't do that part because it's not medically necessary. And since it's not a pay for service I couldn't add it myself. Looks like I won't know the sex for another few months

Any update River?!?!?
