Cycle Buddies 2009 - the saga continues

Hi girls! Hope you're all doing well! It's been a little while since last time I posted, and before I give you guys my update, I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words in posts, messages and notes I have recieved! I really appreciate all the support! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. As many of you know, we've had family in town for the past 16 days, and then my husband was laid off in the middle of their visit, which forced us to make a decision whether or not to continue with the IVF. We have decided to go ahead with it, since insurance wouldn't have covered it anyway...and my DH has a temporary contracting job at the moment, so hopefully everything will work out.

I've also had to "sneak" out and get a whole bunch of tests done, since we haven't told our family we're planning on doing IVF, so that was an added stress. But I'm now finally done with everything, and our visitors have left, so I'm officially back!!!! I started lupron 20 units two days ago, and had my trial transfer and water sono that same day. I also got my protocol, and I will be on 3 repronex vials and 1 menopur vial a day once I start the stims. I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing, but also excited. I just REALLY hope it works!

OK! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do....I'll post again later once I've read through the posts on the old thread. Also, if everyone could please give me their current cycle days and info, I'll start a new list.

SSBD!

Heather :-)

I will be going for first u/s on Monday and feeling nervous now. I its almost 5 weeks after iui and I don't have any symptoms of pregnancy except for some sore bbs sometimes and tiredness. I don't know if tiredness is because of my work or otherwise.

Got tests results today.  Hubby's chromosomes are fine.  I have two copies of a gene mutation that causes my body to not efficiently metabolize folic acid.  So I'm starting on another folic acid supplement in addition to my prenatal vitamin.  Took more blood today to see if I'm at risk for blood clots due to this mutation.  If so, it could be as simple as taking aspirin.  I really hope it's something as simple as folic acid and aspirin.  Still on schedule for IUI next week.

bfromthed - I am so glad to see you back.  I've been missing you.  My RE only asked us to wait one cycle.  I wonder why.

All - Had my ultrasound yesterday and for the first time since last August - no cysts!!!  Yeah!  I started Femara yesterday and will take on CD3-7.  I hope that means our appointment tomorrow to go over test results for recurrent m/c will be good.  I will go in for u/s to see follies next Monday and then, hopefully, IUI to follow a day or two later.  

I'm praying that we'll get a BFP again soon as will all.
