August IVF -ers!

I know its a little early but I am looking for some cycle buddies for my August IVF.  This will be IVF #2 for this year.  I turned 40 end of December. My first IVF resulted in twins but stopped growing at 7 weeks.   I have been doing everything I can to prepare my body and mind for the next IVF.  I've shed 30 pounds (so far, and still losing) since the height of my last pregnancy, been doing acupuncture since mid-May, exercising 4 times per week and will start chinese herbs this week.  

So far, I had a clomid challenge test earlier this month and I was a 12.2 and it went down to 7.4!  This is the lowest number I have had in 1.5 years since I started seeing an IVF doctor.  So, I was very excited.  My insurance approved my IVF + assisted hatching so I am all set.  

Would love to hear from some of you about your journey and next procedure.  I took a break from the site for a few weeks because I had nothing much to report but want to get back into the community.  Hope everyone has a great summer and *****baby dust to all****!!!!

mhv: I totally understand that you are on pins and needles but your faith and all our thoughts and prayers will get you through this just fine. I am so excited for you that your transfer day is almost here! I am sending lots of sticky baby dust your way! My thoughts are with you.

I wish that everyone waiting for their scan can relax as much as possible and hope that you can enjoy your pregnancies all the way.

And for everyone getting ready for a next attempt try to relax, eat healthy (this seems hard at times like these where all I want is to eat comfy foods) and enjoy the good days. I wish all of us lots of super sticky baby dust.

mhv - Cant wait for your results, I know your embies are going to make it.  Im praying for that.

nakineen - everything is fine, your baby is safe and sound, you will not harm this pregnancy.  Stay positive, stop worring so much, I know is difficult to do but please try to relax, that the best thing to do right now.  Enjoy your pregnancy, you will be fine!!!! Praying for you!!!

About me, I just wanted to pass by and tell you all that I am doing fine, enjoying my family and having lots of fun this month till I have to start everything again.  I went dancing last weekend, it was great, was quit a while since we went, you know so much going on, didnt really feel up to it.  This weekend we are going to Miami and have a mini vacation, love those.  I am always thinking and praying for you all still in the game.  Please knoe that I thank everyone for all the support, best wishes and warm words.  Im not giving up, never will.  Im a fighter and thats what I do best.  You will  keep hearing from me.  I guess November will be the month and I will get a great Christmas present this year.  I feel it.

You are all in my prayers.  God Bless you!!!!!

mhv- good luck with the transfer

BP87- best wishes for your upcoming scan!

Lapoo- hope you are doing well and resting up

Sisi- how are you doing?  Thinking of you

Anne- How are you?  Your scan soon, wish mine wasn't 2 1/2 weeks away.  If you want me to post symptoms I will I have had about a billion little unusal ones

My results in today. 5w4d blood lvl 7699.  Thats a healthy 2 day double! Repeat bloods in a week. First scan booked in 8w1d.  LONG wait.  Felt great on day of last blood like all ok (prob cause I found a old hpt and finally got my beautiful dble lines), but today was a wreck of nerves and so sure things were in the toilet, I always think I am doing something wrong to harm this pregnancy.  (This is the time I miscarried the first pregnancy I had so maybe that is why I was freaking out so much).
