***2IF WEEKLY UPDATE***

KC1212

please give a brief history and current cycle status.

Me: 1 DS after 4 years MFI
4th cycle TTC # 2 with TI
First cycle with acupuncture and herbs.

I have no idea where I'm at in my cycle. I'm on the 10th day of +OPKs and 2nd day of EWCM. I have no idea if I've O'd or if I will O. I just don't know anymore.

QOTW: any new shows you're excited for this fall season?

Yes! Big Bang Theory, Once Upon a Time, and Sleepy Hollow.

Do you follow dancing with the stars?

Yes! I Derek & Val

gmc222

After a year of TTC #1, including Clomid+TI cycles, DD was conceived on my first Clomid+IUI.

We have been TTC #2 since I got AF back in May 2012, including one IUI that ended in a m/c, and two more IUI's that were BFN. This is our first IVF cycle and I started stims on Monday. The injections have been much easier than I anticipated and I'm very proud to say I've done them all myself. Estimated ER is 9/30, give or take a couple days.

I'm VERY excited that Sons of Anarchy came back last week! Also excited for New Girl, Homeland, Hawaii 5-0 and NCIS LA.

Not a fan of DWTS.

@KC1212 what kind of OPKS are you using?

Hi everyone! 

Me: DOR/Endometriosis

Cycle: Gearing up for IVF #1 (Just doing retrieval, will do FET after surgery to remove tubes) - Started Estrace yesterday! 2 times a day.  Waiting to start AF, should be in a week. Then we will do ultrasound and start injections. (Yikes) 

ETA: I have a DS from a previous relationship. 

QOTW: any new shows you're excited for this fall season? Oh man I am a TV junkie.  Sleepy Hollow (have it recorded) The Blacklist, The Originals (Yes I am a Vampire Diaries watcher), Dracula and Hostages.  Not a new show, but I am anxiously waiting for Criminal Minds to start back up. Its my fav!

Do you follow dancing with the stars? Nope

I hope it isn't dumb either.  I love, love Klaus, but Damon is my favorite.

I am WAYYY behind on VD. What is the originals?

I also (used to) watch Criminal Minds (I love Hotch!) . But ever since I had DS the children-oriented episodes bother me.

and what is Dracula and hostages?

Amores0121

@KC1212 What are ICs? You could order wondfos from amazon for super cheap.  Send me a friend request on FF and then I can stalk your chart since you don't have a link in your siggy.

KC1212

@Amores0121

Internet Cheapies (IC) sorry

And will do!

@KC1212  - The Originals is a spin off of VD.  It's about the Originals, Klaus, Rebecca, and the others. https://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-originals

Dracula. (I'm linking) https://www.nbc.com/dracula/

Hostages: https://www.cbs.com/shows/hostages/

Yeah I don't know why but I LOVE Criminal Minds, and that stuff just doesn't bother me to watch. My mind just separates it.

Me: 1 DD, a wonderful surprise after 2 losses.(then an additional 2 losses after her birth)
Currently waiting on AF for my 3rd cycle after the D&C- im on CD: 36, No O this month... BOO!

Tomorrow my DH and I get our results from all the blood work. Nervous is an understatement.  As soon as AF shows I can reschedule to have the SIS done. (details in my "update" post)

QOTW: any new shows you're excited for this fall season?

Yes! Sons of Anarchy!!

Do you follow dancing with the stars?

No

kndeckar

please give a brief history and current cycle status.

DD conceived after 3 chemical pregnancies in 7 months. Low progesterone. Took Prometrium for 1st tri. Born April 2011. Been TTC #2 for 10 months with no BFP.

QOTW: any new shows you're excited for this fall season?

Yes! The Walking Dead & Greys Anatomy!!

Do you follow dancing with the stars?

Nope

Forgot to mention I'm on CD 10 of this cycle. HSG test scheduled for Monday.

DS conceived after 8 cycles.  Currently on cycle 21 TTC#2.  Unexplained 2IF.  I had IUI #2 with Clomid and Ovidrel yesterday, so I'm in the 2WW.

1)  Shows I'm excited about - we don't have cable so I never watch shows when they are actually on.  I will say that I love Vampire Diaries (@freakyfast, @amores0121, @KC1212).  I had no idea The Originals was coming!  So excited for that to come out on streaming Netflix (that's how we watch most of our shows, so we're always at least a season behind).

2)  DWTS - sorry, I've never seen it.

AlmostWright

Today is finally CD1 of cycle 28/month 35 TTC#2. CD3 ultrasound and blood work Friday for IUI 1 attempt 2. Fingers crossed no cysts and we can finally move ahead. I am not feeling too hopeful though since I had cysts after clomid before. 

History: DS is 3.5 years old. Conceived on our own after about 6 months. Tube with a hydro removed February this year. Otherwise unexplained. Between testing, lap for the tube, and them wanting us to try on our own first after surgery, it feels like we have been waiting a long time! My endo recently adjusted my thyroid meds so maybe that will help too. 

QOTW: any new shows you're excited for this fall season? 

I think I need a new fall show. Can anyone recommend one I can start without watching the old episodes first?

Do you follow dancing with the stars?

No, never seen an episode somehow. Not sure why not!

Jen071407

DDs each conceived second month of trying. Ttc#3 since Oct. 2011, mmc Aug. 2013, 5wks post D&E and I think I'm 6/7dpo. Spotting started 5dpo so I'm expecting af on the 27th, which of course times next O time when we are traveling so no IUI until November. We are going to do a clomid/TI cycle though bc DH's swimmers are great, so maybe we'll get lucky. QOTW: 1. New Girl, BIg Bang, HIMYM, and of course Modern Family. 2. Nope

CheesyPeas

1st bfp  ended in mc at 10 weeks.  Bfp #2 resulted in ds with an uneventful pregnancy aside from progesterone supplementation.   I'm now on post partum cycle #13, fighting with my body. I'm on cd 10, waiting to O with plans to continue with progesterone supplementation this cycle until my appointment with my ob next week, even though the progesterone has been ineffective at lengthening my lp these past 2 cycles

I too am excited for vampire diaries and the originals, and I am pumped that I'm not alone on this board.  I often feel a little embarrassed for loving that show but I'll embrace it on this board. I'm not happy about Elena choosing Damon at the end of last season though.

I casually watch dwts and think always root for Derek and his partner because I love him. His partner from glee this season was awesome in her first dance, so I'm picking them to win already

freakyfast

CheesyPeas - I agree she should be with Stefan.  Those two characters need to be together, and I hope it ends that way! 

AlmostWright - What shows usually interest you? I am a TV junkie and I watch (too much) TV. I can't see what might interest you that is starting up and/or nothing you would have to catch up on. 

CheesyPeas

@freakyfast, Team Stefan, unite!!    I feel like I'm kind of bitter now that she chose Damon and have kind of taken a "good riddence" kind of attitude towards Elena.  I'm sure I could be won over again though if they build the storyline right. 

freakyfast

CheesyPeas - Yeah for some reason I think they could do something good to get them back together.  They just seem right for each other.  Oh and besides I want Damon to myself. LOL!

Me: I think around cycle day 6... DS is 21 months and was a breeze to conceive. Trying for #2 for about a year. Just started at the fertility clinic. DH has low motility and will meet with Dr. in 2 weeks to see what we can do there and I just got off the phone and found out the my thyroid hormone is a little high for fertility purposes so will start on a med tomorrow to see if it jumps starts it. They said stress can definitely cause it to become hypo... stress... me??? HAHAHA..

A friend just sent me her left over OPKs so no idea what brand they are... pretty sure they are the cheapies...

Really excited for Walking Dead but we don't have cable so we are on the mercy of pirated internet streaming :P

No DWTS... sometimes I wish I could but just never have time and DH would definitely not watch it.

Gator_Bride07

DD conceived on first try back in 2008. Now on cycle #11 of TTC#2. My LP was 7-8 days, so I started Clomid. Now on cycle #3 with Clomid, 100mg. CD 13. Started OPK's and BD'ing yesterday. Also, this is the first cycle we are trying PreSeed. 

 

1. I'm happy Survivor is back, but I'm really happy that college football is back! Go Gators! 

2. Never been into DWTS much.

KC1212

I freaking love preeseed! Even if you're not baby making its nice because its not sticky! oh and a little goes a way!

Grrr, Why am I so far behind in the world?! ....Okay, someone fill me in on what Preseed is?! LOL ...

KC1212

It is a fertiltiy friendly lube that is supposed to mimic fertile cervical mucus. You can get it online or at Walmart and drugstores. You can use it externally or squirt it up your lady parts with an applicator that it comes with.

KC1212

Ugh! My spelling is awful today!

I had acupuncture this a.m. and my hands hurt from the needles!

That's good to hear!  DH said he couldn't tell a difference. I'm not sure how to take that..? I don't really have any noticeable EWCM during my cycle, but I'm not overly "dry" either. I just figured if it helps get the little guys on their way to the egg, it's worth a shot.
