Hi ladies, this is early but, I'm actually not mobile for once so...

Please provide a brief history and current cycle status.

Me: DS conceived after 4 years of (possible?) MFI. DS will be 2 next month. We have never used contraception but, started to TRY for #2 in May. Got a BFP in early Nov. it turned out to be a CP.

I'm now on my 7th? month of TTC#2 (naturally with acupuncture and herbs) I'm on CD 4.

QOTW: What is a favorite childhood Christmas memory?

My mom taking me to see the Nutcracker ballet I love the ballet.

I am currently on CD 81 - we have been trying since Nov 2010 for #2- we don't use anything special (i.e herbs/teas/supplements) I struggle with weight and when I hit a certain number my DR will Rx  me Metformin. It took 2.5 ish yrs to concieve DD. 

QOTW: I love fresh snow falling. Always have always will. Fresh falling snow reminds me of living out in the sticks of Wasilla, Ak (where I grew up) sledding at night and just the snow falling and the serene setting and the quiet...a really awe inspiring feeling.

CD 3, cycle 40 (ish?) TTC #2. DS is 4 and we got a quick BFP with him, 2nd cycle trying. No BFPs at all trying for #2. No clue what is wrong.

Face Christmas memory has to be going to my aunt's cabin. My mom and her sister would get together with both families (4 kids about the same age) and we'd spend a quiet Christmas together in the mountains. We did 3 or 4 of them and they are by far my most favorite holiday memories. My mom is gone now, but I would love to rent a cabin sometime with my brother and sister and their families.

Me: Both DDs conceived easily, ttc#3 since Oct. 2011, dx unexplained (my hormones are out of whack), 1 mc in Aug. 2013, currently cd1 and starting yet another IUI cycle with clomid/gonal f/trigger. I'll be testing a couple days before my 30th Birthday in January and obvi would LOVE a bffp to celebrate. 

My favorite Christmas memories from my childhood are the crazy busy/fun Christmas Eve's we used to have. Both my mom's (6 siblings) and dad's (7 siblings) sides celebrated that day so it was just an incredibly fun day.

Have a dd8, remarried and started ttc 13 months ago. Mc in early nov. Possible hydrosalpinx was seen on tv us. Hsg for next cycle after Christmas. First appointment with re scheduled for Feb 5. Super nervous!!! I used Soy Isoflavones to get my bfp and I'm not sure if I should take them again before my hsg.

Fave Christmas memory is how all four of my siblings and I would get up and sneak our stockings upstairs to open them and put them back before my parents got up!

Me: DD#1 conceived in 3 cycles; DD#2 conceived in 6 cycles however she was stillborn. Been trying for another since May 2012 and have had 2 chemical pregnancies. I am beginning my third Femara+ trigger + TI cycle.

My favorite Christmas memory as a child was my mom would make us anything we wanted for Christmas breakfast. One year she actually made fried dough!

Brief history: Me DOR/Endo, had tubes removed.  DS a surprise long ago from a previous relationship.  

CD 5 - Just started up BCP again last night to prepare for FET in January. 

I never remember holidays being very cheery, but I do remember the last year I believed in Santa, I started questioning his existence, and my dad did all kinds of stuff to make me believe one more year, by proving Santa had been there.

My siggy pretty much says it, TTC since May 2012, PCOS Feb 2013, Surprise BFP in October, D&C three weeks ago.

Currently: I am STILL freaking spotting from my D&C and getting very impatient about it. Ready for my first post loss AF to show so DH and I can go back to the RE and get the show on the road (first Clomid cycle, HSG etc.).

I don't know if I can narrow down my favorite Christmas memory. I really just loved Christmas Eve at my Grandparents every year. I have 13 first cousins, and it was always so much fun getting together and being with them. I always loved how my Grandma included the same staples in our stockings each year, an apple, an orange and a new toothbrush plus fun extras.

History: Me: DOR low AMH, DH Azoospermia due to CBAVD from CF.   IVF/ICSI/PESA #1 in 2010 twins.  FET #1 nonviable pregnancy and D & C surgery, IVF/ICSI/PESA #2 no embryos to transfer, IVF/ICSI/PESA #3 chemical.  Hoping to cycle IVF/ICSI/PESA #4 in summer 2014 somewhere. DH and I cannot agree, he does not want another PESA or to be touched at all, blah.  I am hoping to go back to ivf clinic 1 since it worked the first time there.

No update hoping to cycle again in 2014

QOTW:  I was raised in a different faith but I do remember going to a bakery in a store where they made fresh warm gingerbread cookies each year.

History - DD 1 conceived very easily.  First cycle!  Born at 35 weeks....perfectly healthy.  I'm 30, DH 36.  Thought we were healthy. 

Current - TTC#2 for 8 months.  Thought it was just taking time but when blood work came back with high FSH and SA came up abnormal, they sent us to RE. HSG shows left tube blocked, possible scarring in uterus.  Go next cycle for saline ultrasound and see what's next.  DH's most recent SA came with no sperm present. Earlier this year, DH diagnosed low T.  Put on Androgel..that did nothing to help levels.  Switched to injections.  Asked multiple doctors if it will impact sperm...we heard no no no...it's so rare blah blah blah! 

Favorite Xmas memories - Going to midnight mass with my Mom and Dad.  Going to my Aunt's house and having a HUGE family get together where everyone opened presents!

Brief history: DD was conceived after countless cycles and a third round of Clomid.

My DX is Lupus, PCOS, LPD and low progesterone. DH 's DX is low motility.

I'm currently on cycle #18, CD 9, HSG was yesterday and they were able to clear out my tubes. DH has an SA next Saturday. This cycle is unmedicated and up in the air.

QOTW: My favorite childhood Christmas memory is going to my Nana and Papa's Christmas Day and being spoiled rotten. Oh how I miss my Papa. My Nana is still alive but is 4 hours away now. I wish I could be with her this Christmas!
