Pretty sure this isnt the look he had in mind for tonight

Toddlerina has been sick since Wednesday of last week. I have seen 4 am every day for a week due to said illness. Doesn't everyone shower at 8pm?

My washing machine is broken. Doesn't everyone wear shapeless shirts belonging to their partner?

The one that could be the real kicker? I ordered Lupron today.

But it made me oddly happy. Unsexy, yes, but HAPPY!

Happy Valentines Day to you and your families, existing and in progress.

That's about what I wear to bed every night. It's also known as "infertility lingerie". ;)

I'm right there with you. Pretty sure my running to the bathroom every five minutes and then us tag team cleaning up our son's vomit wasn't what mine had in mind, either.

Hope and pray everyone is better soon.

Hawt momma!! Yay for Lupron. It's about damned time that cyst got kicked to the curb and you got to move forward.

Sorry about 4am. You and Korin should start texting - I'm sure she's up around then regularly too. :(

xoxo

I love the puppy photo. A watcher and a doer, eh?

Bring on the sexy Lupron:)

Sorry that Toddlerina is under the weather. I hope she gets better (and starts sleeping in) fast.

I love that you call your daughter Toddlerina on here. Hope she's feeling better soon.

Glad you are happy about starting Lupron, as perverse as that may be! ;-)

Well, how did I get here?

- Pull goalie.

- Dark Ages. A stillborn loss I don't talk about much here. I lost the plot for a while.

- Try, try, try for 1 year. Welcome to the world of IVF. Do not pass IUI. Go directly to ICSI.

- Full Cycle, Round 1 - Hurrah, we have insurance! No baby. Nothing to freeze.

- Full Cycle, Round 2 - How the hell did we burn through $25k of insurance coverage? Self-pay. Change to microdose Lupron. Baby girl home: healthy, happy.

- Frozen, Round 1 - Have one, transfer one. BFP. All three beta levels look good. First u/s doesn't show a fetal pole. Second u/s never finds heart beat. Miscarriage completed with medication.

- Try for Full Cycle, Round 3 - Poor response with only 2 follicles after microdose Lupron, increased from 350 to 450 Follistim and 150 Menopur. Convert to IUI. Lame counts, 15 million. BFN.

- Canceled The Final Full Cycle after estrogen priming with Ganirelix the month prior to retrieval. Starting at 450 Follistim and 150 Menopur. One follicle measured at final u/s. BFN.

- Crap. Diminished ovarian reserve at 39.

- Transfer one beautiful blastocyst from a donor egg. BFN. What. But this is DE, right??? BFN.

- DE FET canceled due to a cyst in January. Lots of Lupron for no good reason. We tried again for the FET in February. Another cyst. Finally cyst free and set for March. 50%-50% chance of pregnancy.

- BFP and a heartbeat followed by Giant SCH Scare the very next day. Last bleed was at 13 wks.

- Added marginal placenta previa to the mix at the 20 week level II ultrasound. Gah. A follow up appointment four weeks later shows the PP gone and the uterus growth resolved the issue.

- Welcome Baby Jay at 39+ weeks via scheduled repeat c-section. A boy. A boy!!

- Considering the future of our frozen embryos. Letting "Party of Four" sink in.

- Starting the process to find a family for our remaining embryos. Feeling perfect about it. UPDATE. That was a total lie. I am freaking the fuck out. UPDATE. I got this. UPDATE. Total melt down. FINAL UPDATE. Recovered, with a tender heart.

- Find a magnificent family to accept our remaining embryos. She is pregnant, first try. Joy.

- For the love of all that is holy, I am pregnant. We made this baby like animals. No RE involved.

- Explore the possibilities of Down Syndrome. Find a beautiful community fiercely dedicated to their children. We are prepared to welcome home a baby with Down Syndrome, but it was not meant to be us.

Welcome to my family: one from my old eggs and one from a donor. A bonus from my very old eggs and the Two Backed Monster. Irrelevant, huh? Joy.
