Hi girls! How is everyon? Whats new?

We're getting eady to get started again- still on a financial break with the FET's- trying a few clomid cycles this fall- and if no luck- will go back to a FET in January.
So- I'm on day 5 of provera for AF- and clomid should follow I'm thinking by the end of next week!

Hope everyone is doing well!
Take care guys!

Hi Linz!! So good to see someone around here. Wow getting started again!! How exciting. I bet you just can't wait. I sure hope clomid is the ticket for you. That would be so wonderful. I bet Blue wants to be a big brother lol.

Jake is doing great. He is 5 1/2 months old now. Rolling over, and babbling like crazy. I am still breastfeeding him cause he has refused to take a bottle. His daycare provider can get him to take a sippy cup though hehe. I guess we will skip the bottle all together.

Hope everyone else is doing good, and hope to hear some updates.

Hi Ryan! Look at Jake- he is so darn cute- all smiles!!!!
Little stinker- skipping bottles all together- well at least he'll take the sippy cup, right?!

How have you been being back to work? How's your summer been?

Yes- we're ready to get started again! Its really hard to believe its been 6 months isnce our last cycle- but it was a great break- much needed- and I know it was definently for the best!
AF showed today- so it looks like Clomid will start Tuesday!!! I'll keep ya posted!
Blue is ready to be a big brother! My little puppy baby is going to "1" next week! Hard to believe!

You take care- will try to keep up here a bit better!
Lindsay

Hi everyone! Sam and Alex are both calm for the moment -

It's been a rough month since we all got thrush and I haven't gotten rid of it on myself yet. We're also working on babyproofing the house since they're getting pretty mobile just by rolling around. Alex already has 3 teeth! Sam has no sign of any. Right now they're super grumpy and clingy and I'm counting the minutes until my mom comes tomorrow night to stay for two weeks. Sometimes, okay, lots of times, there's just more baby needs than there is mommy to give. Pretty soon, though, we should hit that magic 6 month developmental mark and things should improve!

I'm sure the past few months have been tough- hang in there- it will get easier- I've seen it with my SIL! That'll be so nice to have your Mom to help- everyone needs a break!
Take care!

This is my first time posting, so I am still learning This will be my 3rd try with IVF, and it will be my 1st FET. I am really nervous. I have 3-8 cell grade 1 eggs that were frozen on my last stimulation cycle. We were so positive that we were pregnant during this last cycle which was in July. We were so sad when the 1st beta came back positive, but too low to hold the pregnancy. Then we found out that it must have been a chemical pregnancy. Our doctor told us we should go straight into another cycle, so that is what we are doing. I am just hoping and praying so much. So is my husband. I have been a mom before. I had a beautiful baby boy named Kayden when I was 20. There was an awful accident, and he died when he was 23 months old. My body had some sort of auto immune response due to my extreme depression and stress and killed off my eggs. I now have DOR. I cannot imagine not being pregnant and having another baby. It is the only miracle in the world I would ask for. Sorry for the lengthy post. I went through the last 2 cycles with so many questions and not very much support outside of family and friends, and thought maybe this would be a better route. Is there anything I could do at home to up the chances?

Leslie I am so very sorry for your loss. I just can't imagine what you must have went through. Sorry your last cycle was a disapointment, but looks like your getting another chance at it. my fresh cycle failed as well and I went on to get pregnant with my first FET. I sure hope this is your miricle you sure deserve it. I really believe in FET's cause they are so much less stressful on your body. When will you start the process?? Please update when you can. Your in my prayers for sure!

Irena you sure have two beautiful boys there!! I am sure you have your hands FULL. I don't think I can handle more than one baby at a time lol. Jake just finished getting over a nasty cold and that was enough work for me hehe.

Leslie, I'm so sorry for your loss, how awful.

Lots of support around here! Check out other threads for people going through the cycle at the same time as you. This place was invaluable for me when I did IVF and FET and look where it got me! There are a few things that some people swear by in helping FETs work, but I don't have time to type them out, sorry. Ask around about turkey, pineapple, bed rest, advanced hatching, how many to put back, etc. Good luck!
