To be added to the Weekly Checkin, please answer the following:
1. How long have you been TTC?
2. What is your diagnosis?
3. What is your current treatment plan?Question
of the Week: What is your TV watching guilty pleasure?
Re: TTTC Checkin - 08/24/2015
Question of the Week: What is your TV watching guilty pleasure? I don't really watch much TV. So I guess if you're talking actual TV.. then football. I do watch Netflix though and right now I am watching Supernatural, and re-watching Prison Break DH and I are watching Sons of Anarchy. We don't pay for TV because we feel it's a waste of money and we don't really have time to watch TV.
How is everyone doing this week?

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!@Cupcakegal930 I've been thinking about you this week and I hope that you're doing okay...
I've fallen off of the 'getting healthy' wagon and I hoping to pull it together this week. I had a checkup and was told that my vitamin D is very, very low. I've been taking a supplement but clearly it's not enough. Low D has been associated with infertility so I'm taking this very seriously.
QOTW: I watch Real Housewives of New York. I have no idea why I'm obsessed with it because I always end up pissed off at someone on the show when it's over!

@adorkablepixie Welcome to the checkin! I totally feel you on the cost of TV. We've decided to cut the cord too as soon as our contract is over. The price is ridiculous...

Update of the week....I got my BFP!!! I absolutely still can't believe it, despite the ridiculous of POAS I did over the weekend. HCG is at 81 13dpiui, and going back on Wednesday.
FX to everyone here! I hope you get your BFP ASAP!
QOTW: Right now I am into The Last Ship. I am obsessed with The Walking Dead and can't wait for the return!!!
@LauraNick2010 I love The Walking Dead too! When I watch it though, I am never current since we don't have TV. We always have to wait for it to come on Netflix and that takes FOREVER! Are you seeing an OB or a RE?
@KidShrink Congrats again. So happy for you!:)

Thanks everyone! It all feels so surreal right now!
@cupcakegal930...ugh me too! I have a horrible addiction to all things bachelor, bachelor in paradise, etc. I hate that it's such a huge waste of time and yet I just can't stop watching.
@jnissa so sorry to hear you've had such a tough time...family can be so detrimental to our well-being sometimes. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
@krbjoy and @KidShrink - congrats!! It's so great to hear about BFPs...gives us all hope
@jnissa I am so sorry you're having a hard time. That's terrible! It's too bad you can't just shut yourselves up and cut his family off at certain times. haha I agree that stress affects fertility. It affects everything else! Plus physical stress affects it so why would,don't emotional stress?
@Cupcakegal930 I've started to look into adoption from time to time too to get an idea of how to go,about it and stuff. We will definitely adopt if it comes to that. There are so many children out there that need love and a roof over their heads. I hope you get a BFP with that last one though. I will be keeping my fx for you!
@graphicgranite Good luck with this round of Clomid. I'd think after three failed rounds they'd have gone to IUI already. Are you seeing an Ob or RE? Fx for you that this is the one!!

Officially diagnosed with unexplained infertility after 4 years of TTC
IUI#2 gave us DS#1 who became an angel a few minutes after birth from Noonan syndrome
IUI#4 gave us DS#2 - going strong as a toddler!
TTC again... Found a clinical trial for unexplained infertility and finished 16 weeks of "lifestyle intervention"
Cycle #1 - cancelled for ovarian cyst x3...
@Osteoblastic I love walking dead. It's okay to eat unhealthy sometimes. I know weekends are when I usually do that too, especially if there is a party!
@krbjoy Yay! Those are great numbers.
@kistra Those are some good follies. Fx this round of IUI works for you!
