Thank you lady, I'm so sad to hear about your CD1 too. Big hugs! At least for both of us our 2WW hell is over & we can start moving ahead. Infertility sucks.

How was your trip?! Hope you had a good time! If only we lived closer - I'd say if our beta results are crap tomorrow... we are SO meeting for a much needed drink ;)

Quoting Vicarious✩ [8 wks]:" I have a question for ladies with PCOS..Do you grow hair in places where you 'shouldnt'?"

I do.

On my face.  
I have thick hair on my arms too and I grow it on my toes.

Quoting Naaxi:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Vicarious✩ [8 wks]:</b>" I have a question for ladies ... [snip!] ... a super hairy tummy and have shaved or waxed it since I was 16. And I get the normal hormonal places as well... lip, chin..."

Yeah, I have it on my belly too, it's not thick, but it's there.

Pretty sure my body was tricking me this month.
I had EWCM again.
So, here's to waiting until April. If it doesn't happen this year, it's not going to happen.
I start my student teaching next spring and that lasts 2 years. Ugh.

The trip was pretty good. The meds and not being able to drink made it less fun, but that's the price we pay. I REALLY wish we lived closer! Drinks would definitely be in order! How heavy is your flow? Like a normal cycle? Mine is very light. I still don't feel pregnant, but am curious if my bleeding may be due to the fact that I was so much later placing the progesterone last night... Ugh, IDK, so ready for tomorrow! So sick of this guessing game! I'll be thinking of you!

Boo caitlin!! I have high hopes for your next cycle!!! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Quoting Vicarious✩ [8 wks]:" I have a question for ladies with PCOS..Do you grow hair in places where you 'shouldnt'?"

I have hair on my chin, I am a very vain person, and I shave my face daily, and pluck if I go more than 2 days without shaving.

It also grows faster on my legs and arms, and stomach area, but thats it. If I have a ovulatory cycle it isnt as bad, and slows down. I have a high to normal androgen level too, I think it is the excessive sex hormones in my system.

My hair is auburn, so my body hair is light blond, I just deal with it, I know that laser treatments wouldnt work for me, so I have to shave, pluck and wax.

I'm so sorry.  
Thank goodness you do have the snowbabies. With the new vitrification process for cryo, often times frozen transfers are more likely to be more successful than a fresh transfer because you can work on getting your lining just right without worrying about timing it with egg retrieval. I've had four FETs with 100% successful thaw rate. You still have more than an excellent chance!

Thank you Amelia, that made me feel a lot better. I'm nervous about the thaw but I figure with 12 embryos we should be okay. Wondering when we'll be able to start the frozen cycle. I've heard some REs will let you start right after a failed fresh cycle, but others make you wait for a second AF. We'll see what they say tomorrow. Thanks again for your help!

Thank you Ashleigh   I'm just so ready to move on from this depressing chapter as I'm sure you & everyone else in here can relate to! How are you doing? Do you have an idea of your next IUI date yet? Excited for you!

i so sorry  

I am getting really smurfing fed up with being in limbo over my thyroid levels, it is REALLY pissing me off, 1 month on birth control is about to turn into 4.

Boo for periods!!! Today's sermon at church was about God's timing and how God promised Abraham and Sarah a child at 65 and 75. They didnt become pregnant until they were 90 and a 100. Can you imagine???? Anyway I'm still praying for you all. As for me nothing yet but like I said that doesn't mean anything.

I can definitely relate!! I go in for bloodwork and ultrasound on Thursday so we will see!!

Going all natural this month again until we go see the new RE on Good Friday. Oh maybe that's a good sign. Should be Oing next weekend. Maybe the 20 lbs I've lost will help my body work right. Anyways check out this video about fetal growth. It's pretty cool
