Hi ladies!
Big congrats to @Mnerani!
Good luck to everyone cycling!!
((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them, especially @kaf7 and @PamMG!
This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently TTC again, either on their own, or via injectibles, IUI, IVF, adoption, etc. Occasionally, I do a bit of clean up. If you have dropped off and would like to be added again, just comments and you'll be back in business
TTC again, even after successfully bringing home a LO (or multiple LOs) is a stressful process for all of us, and this group is meant to allow us the opportunity to provide support and suggestions to one another, and to receive the same in return.
A check-in will be posted every week. Please send me a PM or reply to the check-in post if you would like to be added to the group. Each check-in will provide the opportunity for you to provide an update as to where you currently are in your TTC.
QOTW: Besides the obvious food, water, shelter - what is one thing you could not live without?
TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!"
AKB090609- I had an us yesterday to check for cysts since I'm on cd48. The tech saw 'something', but of course couldn't tell me what. Waiting is hard.
ancp27 - 1/15 - We are TTC, kind of. We planned to go back to the RE this month but still no AF. I'll start charting for a few months once it's back. I'm not sure if we'll do any IUI'S r go straight to IVF. Hopefully we'll get lucky again.
Byrne15 - TTC #3, no treatments this time. Just hoping for success the old fashioned way
Ducky719 – 1/29 - No update here: just temping away.
Cbubbles2 - currently TTC on own, FET in 2014
Mayzie15 - 1/29 - SA for MH is back and it's lower than before . I've made an appt with my RE for AFC it's this Weds and I'm really nervous to get back on this roller coaster but I figure it's now or never.
mnj05 - We are currently TTC without meds. We have plans to head back to the RE at the end of the year if finances allow it. I'm going in this as not hopeful at all to try to avoid that roller coaster again. I'm also not regular, as usual, but I'm fairly regular compared to pre-baby (if that makes sense at all!).
PappsMcGee - planning to go back to seek treatments when ready (FX for a surprise for you in the mean time!)
TTC, with treatments
BabyKsMommy - 1/29 - I'm just waiting to go in for my iui hopefully this week or next week. This Femara cycle has been easy which has been nice.
Bellalou - 1/29 - Fluid not gone. Surgery basically for nothing. U/S tmrw to check lining and appt w RE to discuss this fluid and if it'll interfere w my FET on Monday. Nurse and tech say no but I need to hear it for myself and ask RE some questions before moving fwd w it. Update...Cycle cancelled. New protocol to take place with onset on next period.
chiwifey - 1/29 - The hooker aka AF showed up last night making today CD1. I have an appt tomorrow for baseline b/w & u/s and a mock transfer. And I'll be starting stims tomorrow night too. I'm ready to get this IVF #3 party started! Mama wants another baby!
ccam - 1/29 - My transfer is tomorrow at noon. It sort of snuck up on us with everything going on with DS this week, but I guess that's a good thing! My progesterone was a little low, so they added Crinone to my list of meds.... lovely....
Efhoping2010 - 1/22 - FSH is now 8.9 and AMH is now 0.8 In 2012 my FSH was 3.2 and AMH was 0.98. Feeling a bit blah over it all. I am going to talk to DH about the results tonight.
Emwaiting - TTC #2, I have never checked in before. We had to do IVF for #1 and we were lucky to have IVF work on the first try. DS is almost 3 months and I am currently on day 4 of Provera. I will start Clomid and Femara after AF arrives, monitor follicles and then do timed intercourse and see what happens. Drs think our best chance for #2 is to try ASAP and we are sooo lucky DS is such a good baby!!!
fullfhope - 1/29 - As I feared, I did not respond to the meds so IVF has been converted to IUI tomorrow morning (Friday). As I sat there crying, the sweet nurse said she has seen success in these cases so I should stay hopeful. I know I have M at home, my own little slice of heaven, but it still sucks. I think I went into this with blinders on, thinking it worked the first time for M, so it is going to work again. Reality check for me. How foolish. So, now I'm just trying to stay hopeful..
Hadams85 - 5 days into my 2WW. Had my first IUI last Thursday. Trying to wait oh so patiently for next week to test. No signs or symptoms yet, almost like nothing has happened.
Hopeful1981 - TTC #2, currently on CD34 waiting for AF to start so that I can embark on my IVF cycle. I have endo and have been on Lupron since CD23. Will be stimming with Follistim and Menopur.
mdiblasi10 - 1/29 - I'm 2dpiui. It's the waiting game now. I am really enjoying my acupuncture visits and trying to stay hopeful.
MoFree - 1/22 - I'm just waiting for AF to arrive some time in early Feb so I can start my natural cycle FET. Until then nothing to do but prepare myself mentally.
nycbride0707 - I go in Sat for one last check, and then hopefully everything looks good and transfer in Sunday, with beta 11/19. Been doing PIO since Tues, man I'm sore!
Pam MG - 1/22 - We did the transfer on the 10th and got a positive beta on Monday. Went back for the follow up beta and the number went down and they told me to stop taking the medication. I am at a complete loss and this feel is so much worse than when the fresh IVF just did not take. I became so attached even though it has only been 2 days and I think this is worse because I know what I am going to miss out on not to mention the coming up miscarriage. We only have one egg left and it is the lowest grade egg out of the 7 we got. If this doesn't work then Declan will be an only child and that kills me because I do not want that for him but I do not think I could go through that process again.
PennyLane26 - 1/29 - Polyp on saline sono was teeny tiny so we are proceeding as planned! Waiting on AF to start! Beginning meds for our FET on CD1 (which will hopefully be right around Valentine's Day).
readyornot24 - 1/29 - I am waiting for AF and the start my BCP for my next IVF. Hoping that will start Friday or Saturday
Rjade9 - I'd like to be added! We have our appointment with our RE next Thursday to come up with a plan for our FET. In the meantime we are not, not trying
srveatch - 1/22 - H and I have been off birth control since A was born and month after month I am disappointed that we weren't one of those lucky couples who needed help the first time but had the happy surprise pregnancy for the second. So I am back in the game with a FET. I had my saline sonogram this morning and was cleared for cycle. I am on estrace and have a lining check on the third with a potential transfer scheduled for the 12th.
ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon
Bearfootz - hugs and healing coming your way TTC on hold until 2014, making great weight loss progress. You go girl!
kzawisl - 1/8 - No update. Still saving our pennies and hoping for Menopur donations from OOP meds or my RE.
millie1984 - 1/15 - We are not actively trying yet, but MH and I have an appointment with our RE today to talk about IVF for TTC#2. We are going to go over things like cost and if our insurance will cover PGD, etc. We are also going to see if I am a candidate for IVF. So we're hoping to come out of the day with a game plan and more of a timeline for when we want to start officially TTC again.
Robeano - 12/27 - after some soul searching, I'm gonna take a break from trying until I get down to pre-pregnancy weight. I gained a bunch of weight in the last two months and I don't want to start off being pregnant this heavy.
BFPs! Let's Celebrate
KKDRAGONFLY - Expecting a baby boy.
Diego299 - Surprise BFP!!! Ultrasound shows twins, with perfect beating hearts!
Sweets11 - BFP, due in Feb. Congrats!
CallMeAl - 1/29 - I am 36 wks today and feeling huge. Have an OB appt tomorrow so we will see what my cervix is up to.
Mcgeeva - 1/29 - Nada here. Have an apt next Tuesday. So excited with each week that passes. Around this time last time I was sent home for contractions and in labor the next week - 2 months early. So each week feels like im getting closer with no issues this time around. Couldn't be happier.
RoseHQ12 - 24 weeks & so happy to be at this point. GTT today & looks like I passed phew! SCH still lingers, it's my other "baby" at this point!

TJ1979 - 16 weeks today. Feeling better most of the time. My back is hurting REALLY badly, but other than that sometimes I forget I'm pregnant. Loving feeling deuce wiggling around in there!!
Cwhitaker27 - 12/27 - I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow. We told our families on Sunday at "our Thanksgiving". I just told the doctors I work with today since I was off mon/tues sick and throwing up all day. They were/are very supportive so that's great! We are telling the rest of our family and friends via our Christmas card next week. Overall still feeling very sick but happy to let the cat outta the bag mostly.
Eve_Angelique - 1/29 - Just waiting on my first appt with my midwife over here, nothing much to update.Kdfecarie - 1/29 - My update is the same, still pregnant but i did graduate to the OB, and have my appointment set for a couple weeks away, cant wait!!
carrera317 - 1/29 - 9 weeks. Waiting for on appt next Thursday. Super anxious as I had my missed miscarriage at 9 weeks in Sept that was discovered at 10 weeks (my first OB appt). Fingers crossed!
Kissies - 1/29 - I had my first ob prenatal visit yest was there over 2 hrs! Nurse and ob couldnt find hb with doppler. Since Im still having bright red spotting they fit me in for ultrasound. Of course I was at appt alone waiting over 30 mins for ultrasound. Luckily all was ok heartbeat 173 and got to see baby move! Ob said the big decision I need to make is trial of labor for vbac or elective csection. Im so torn!
LeoLauren - 1/15 - It's official. BFP x 2! Omg (what I'll be saying a lot for the next 7 months)!
Mnerani - 1/29 - Just plugging away over here. Work has been really crazy, which will hopefully keep my mind occupied between betas. Next one is on Monday. Still zero symptoms, which (I know, I know) isn't a bad thing.

QOTW - I was going to say my phone because I'm lost without it and always like to have my camera right there, or chapstick because I'm addicted. But really, I couldn't live without my car. It's a necessity, even over my precious phone and chapstick.

TTC #2
My update is the same, still pregnant but i did graduate to the OB, and have my appointment set for a couple weeks away, cant wait!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

Update: I had my first ob prenatal visit yest was there over 2 hrs! Nurse and ob couldnt find hb with doppler. Since Im still having bright red spotting they fit me in for ultrasound. Of course I was at appt alone waiting over 30 mins for ultrasound. Luckily all was ok heartbeat 173 and got to see baby move!
Ob said the big decision I need to make is trial of labor for vbac or elective csection. Im so torn!
Qotw: my phone love looking at pics of my little ones when they arent around.
So I was going to post early yesterday but had to think about the QOTD. Driving to work I thought, I know, it's totally my Burt's Bees Chapstick that I can't live without. Then I thought you wouldn't understand and I'd look foolish. Lol. I love you ladies!!!! I second the phone for pics though too.
Update: 9 weeks. Waiting for on appt next Thursday. Super anxious as I had my missed miscarriage at 9 weeks in Sept that was discovered at 10 weeks (my first OB appt). Fingers crossed! @kisssies I know I am I. The same boat w vbac vs section. I don't know either!
