****2 IF WEEKLY UPDATE****

KC1212

Hi ladies!

Okay, so please provide a brief history and a summary of where you are at in your cycle now.

We have MFI and conceived DS after4 yrs ( 2 failed IUI's) and the rest clomid or just natural.

Right now I'm 5dpo (I think) I'm trying to "relax". I'll let ya know how that works out

Hello! 

We have been trying for over two years. I have endometriosis, and I was recently dx'd with DOR. Waiting for CD1 to get start a timeline for IVF #1. I posted last week about having surgery, and I will have to have surgery.   (Really freaking out, but numb at the same time) Meeting with RE before next CD1 to determine when that will happen. 

I have a son from a previous relationship. 

@KC1212 - What was the QOTW? 

:-/

Hi ladies. 

Summary: Unexplained 2IF. On cycle 18/ CD9 (waiting to O) 

FINALLY finished the last of my IF testing- the SHG was yesterday, and like everything other effing test- looks perfect. I had 4 cysts on my ovaries 3 weeks ago- and as of yesterday they are ALL GONE! So that was some good news. This is hopefully the last cycle on our own. We have an appt. on Monday to discuss treatment for upcoming cycles. I'm so excited to be done with the testing phase (started back in Feb.)

Hi everyone,
 We've got a 3 yr. old son (conceived him while on Metformin just after discovering I have PCOS). We just hit the 2 1/2 year mark of TTC #2.  I'm in the middle of my 2ww for IUI #2 (7 dpo) w/ Clomid, Metformin and trigger shot. Our next step is one more IUI with increased dose of meds, and if that doesn't work we've both decided it's time for a break.
  I don't post much, but I follow a lot of your stories and I love the support that this board gives!

We have a 4.5 year old. We conceived him the first month of trying. We are on Cycle #13. Right now the cause if MFI (low testosterone). DHs repeated SA came back normal. I have an app't with the fertility specialist on Friday. I am a little nervous. Currently at CD 12 (normally ovulate around CD 20).

CRAP!

LMBO!

QOTW: What is an annoying habit of DH ?

My DH claims everything will "just take 10 mins" 3 HOURS LATER...I regret having asked him to do whatever it was in the first place! Lol.

KC1212

I'm such a ding-dong. What a complete space - cadet! 8-}

He he.. 

QOTW:  Just one annoying habit?!?! Let's see... he sings A LOT and he changes the words to the song to dumb words, and he sings the songs horribly, then he will ask me, 'how was that?' 

He also NEVER puts his hairspray, and gel away, he always leaves it on the counter.

Haha! You can name as many as you wish!

My DH and I have thermostat wars. I'm cold he's, hot. Same with covers. He refuses to let me put the big down comforter on the bed!

MercyGale

Well, I have endo and ovarian cysts. We are on cycle25/cd2...Decided to start charting again...
Dh never puts up his deodorant. I find it in THE most random places lol

We have a 2 year old daughter that we conceived with no problems and I am currently on CD 4 for IUI #2.

QOTW - My husband's annoying habit is that he picks at his toenails. He doesn't even realize that he's doing it but it drives me CRAZY.

We'll be sitting watching TV and I'll hear him picking. It's so gross and I can't break him of it. Ick.

I'm 5dpiui and feeling very hopeful this month.  DH and I have been trying since October 2011. We conceived DD on the first try waaaaay back in May of 2009. We figured it'd be just as easy the 2nd time. Boo. 

Gosh... I could really spend a good hour unloading on this board about my DH (poor guy). I mean, truly, I love him to pieces, but he really annoys me sometimes! Somehow, and I don't know how, but somehow he makes chomping noises while eating ice cream. It sounds kind of like when you give a dog a spoonful of peanut butter. OMG IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!  Either that or he leaves his underwear on the floor in the bathroom. He's a really clean/neat guy, so I don't get it. And I refuse to pick it up and let it pile so he gets the hint and moves it to the hamper, but he always wins the battle because I get fed up.

History - unexplained 2IF, 2 1/2 year old DS conceived after 8 cycles.  Currently on cycle 20 ttc #2.  I'm on CD 5 for IUI # 1 with Clomid and trigger shot (close to you, @Tislay84!).

QOTW - related to @KC1212 's answer - unfinished projects.  We have them all over the place.  He gets excited to start something and 3/4 of the way through runs out of steam.  We have rain barrels he started to make 4 years ago sitting unfinished in our yard.  He wanted beer making equipment one birthday - I bought it for him, he did everything up to putting it in the jug to ferment, and then left it there for 2 years before dumping the whole thing.  Drives me insane!

LMAO!!!

Thank god I will never meet him otherwise I will think of nothing but the underwear pile! LOL

MJC1116

HAHAHA! DH is a great guy with a fabulous sense of humor, so he probably wouldn't have been embarrassed if we ever did meet!  Isn't that sad? (BTW I probably could have said other worse things that drive me crazy... but I didn't want anyone to blacklist me!)

CMDR513

I agree with the "time" I will be ready in 10 minutes, I will be up in 15 minutes, etc. 

One that wasn't mentioned is that he will fill the dishes in the sink. It drives me crazy.

LOL. Sad part is- I probably could have listed worse stuff too!

History - DS will be 3 in November. It took 2 1/2 years and 3 unmedicated IUIs to conceive him. We thought the problem then was cervical stenosis, which we thought would be solved after a vaginal birth. We've been TTC #2 for almost 2 years now. After 3 failed unmedicated IUIs last fall, we ended up getting pregnant on our own last Thanksgiving. That ended with a blighted ovum. We're in the midst of our first medicated cycle. IUI was this morning, so I'm just entering the 2ww.

QOTW - DH is a teacher, and sometimes (especially if he's been drinking) our conversations turn into lectures, and it drives me nuts! 

AlmostWright

I did a longer intro in a separate post so here is the short version.

History--3.5 year old DS, on cycle 27 TTC#2 (34 if you include the forced breaks). Had a blocked tube with a hydro removed earlier this year, but all other tests were fine. Waiting for CD1 to begin IUI#1.

QOTW--I dislike hearing people eat or drink, and I think DH crunches and slurps things extra loud to annoy me!

I don't feel like I'm officially defined as having "Secondary IF" but I'm referred to as such during doctor's appointments.  So hand me a t-shirt and I'll wave the banner.

History - I have a 1.5 yo DS.  Making him was no big deal, it took 6 months but I think it was just a timing issue.  Fast forward to today... for 7 cycles we've tried, with one loss under our belt.  I have been identified to have LPD, which we thought was a progesterone issue, plain and simple, but we just discovered it's not.  We're trying clomid next cycle to support the corpus luteum.  All I know is spotting stinks and I do it for about 17 days out of my 27 day cycle... it blows.

Current cycle - I'm 11DPO, throwing negatives, so I'm not hopefully. Spotted so stupidly early this cycle (5dpo) despite being on progesterone.  So I threw in the towel.

I'm with you AlmostWright, I can't stand hearing people eat... gives me the willies AND I get instantly pissy.

I have my fingers crossed that a few rounds of clomid will do the trick for you. I'm so sorry about your loss But I think you have a lot to be optimistic about, stay positive and hang in there.

I'm also sorry about this months negative pregnancy tests. The general agreement here seems to be if you're going to test, don't use the one that shouts the mean words "not pregnant" at you

I'm always late to the party, but here goes:

We just passed the 3 year mark of TTC #2. Unexplained 2IF (bloodwork, HSG, Lap all clear except for a minor bit of endo). DS has autism so we won't be seeking any medical assistance in TTC because of our chances of having another child on the spectrum. I may be gluten sensitive and have gone gluten free in order to feel better and hopefully to help with this unexplained 2IF. We'll see. In 2WW now. I turn 30 in October, and I know it will be a tough one because when we first got married I gave myself the deadline that we would stop having kids when I was 30. Ahh, ignorance. Now I'm toying with pushing that to 35 because I'd LOVE to have at least 3 kids, but DH is 10 years older so we have that to consider. We're just taking it one month at a time now.

QOTW: DH rarely shares his opinion on anything. I actually have to ask him, "what do you think about this?" for him to tell me anything. I usually have to ask more questions than that. People love him because he never imposes his opinion on anyone and he's so logical, but sometimes I just want to yell, "PICK A SIDE, DAMMIT!" Frequent offending scenarios: choosing dinner options and making big financial decisions.

@annibes

Yes mine does that too. As a result, I've sort of just embraced the decision making and I tell him if he doesn't like the decision I made he should have said so. He just doesn't argue which for some odd reason infuriates me. And then on the things I want him to be compliant with he's not
