I love participating in ICLW. Even though I usually fall behind in commenting, I always find new blogs to follow. Since my treatment has progressed, so has my reader. It has changed quite a bit since I first started blogging. Most of the blogs I followed when I started back in 2010 are now either parenting blogs or no longer updated because of parenting. Finding new blogs with those who are also still waiting for something to work is essential! On most days, part of my morning ritual involves checking in on the blogs. I don't know what I would do without that connection to other stories.
If you are a first time or not a regular reader of this blog, let me give you an ICLW welcome.
Who I am: J, a mid thirties, under-employed and geographically isolated infertile. I'm married to F.
Where I am in treatments: Since the last ICLW I have had an unexpected hysteroscopy to remove a piece of retained tissue from my third miscarriage that happened in June. This caused a slight delay for IVF #2. But I am almost there. Next week I have my suppression check that will hopefully give me the green light to begin injections on the 28th. That means my egg retrieval should happen somewhere between October 7-10. EEK! We will be doing Comprehensive Chromosome Screening on our embryos this round.
Recent posts on this blog that reflect where we are at this moment and what is on my mind: Our Number is Five and Infertility Resumes (still).
IF Blogs I am reading right now: Everyone Else But Me (because Fran is in early pregnancy hell after ultrasounds show a slowly progressing FET pregnancy), Fertility Lab Insider (because Carole is such an awesome advocate for patient education), Sometimes (because she could really use some extra support right now), Life and Love in the Petri Dish (because they are true IVF veterans and I am learning so much about CCS from their experiences)
Happy ICLW and thanks for visiting!

October is right around the corner. I hope you get your BFP with this next IVF!
Yaaay for ICLW! Sending so many good vibes your way and praying like crazy that this cycle brings you that baby!!
I'm a first time ICLWer, and just discovered your blog today. Wishing you two the very best for your next cycle!
Hi from ICLW...good luck on your IVF cycle!!!
Good luck right back at ya! Here's hoping for smooth successful cycles for both of us!
If you have a chance, can you post some of your findings on CCS? I am considering it for my cycle next month, and in the process of researching whether it's a good choice for us.
I hope this is your cycle!
Hi from Iclw. October is soon (although I am sure it feels not soon enough!). Lots of luck with your ivf!
I found your blog through ICLW; I forgot to sign up this month. I too was looking to find a few blogs that were still active. Most when they become pregnant seem to abandon the blogging world.
Jill you know I've been following you forever, I know you are next to be moved in the "we did it!" list. Thanks for mentioning me, still calm, hoping all is well.
Happy ICLW! Best of luck with your upcoming IVF!
