Hi ladies!

Good luck to everyone cycling!!  FX for you @PennyLane26, @BabyKsMommy
@srveatch , and @STL34!!

((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them!!  Especially @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: I'm thinking of warmer weather.... what did you do during your childhood summers?  

TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!"

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.

Ducky719 – 3/26 - I got my period on Monday, so today is cd3. Still ttc on our own. 

Julie21613 LO is 5 months old and we have just scheduled an appointment with my RE.  Haven't gotten AF yet as I'm still bf.  Not exclusively, but still several times a day.  I plan on stopping mid April, before my appointment.  We have not used any birth control since Maggie was born. Was hoping for a surprise miracle.  Thinking we will probably cycle in June. 

mnj05 – 3/26 - No update.

TTC, with treatments

Bellalou – 3/19 - AF arrived today so, patch is on & hoping for a 4-7 FET.

Efhoping2010 – 3/26 - No update still trying to figure everything out hopefully for IVF #4 this summer.

emwaiting - 3/26 - I'm in the 2WW after IUI, I will do my blood test on the 7th and that can't come soon enough!

fullfhope – 3/5 - RE remains optimistic that we will be successful, so new protocol will be estrogen patch at end of next cycle to discourage my body and ovaries from pre selecting a dominant follicle for the cycle, to then be able to encourage more follicles to grow (I apologize if many of you are already familiar with this strategy, it is new for me). So, we are in a "natural" cycle now. Expect to move forward in about 4-5 weeks

itsmevkb - 3/26 - I am lining up what feel like a million appointments in preparation for what will hopefull be a FET this summer.  So far I've see my endocrinologist and my thyroid as of right now is good.  I have an appointment next week with my hematologist to discuss the wisdom of taking estrogen giving my history of a DVT, then at the end of April I'll go back for another pap test which had better be good and then it's on to the RE for whatever testing they will do. I have August in my head as to when I'd like to do the FET but I know that will be here before I know it (as I watch snow/sleet fall outside.)

kmc84 - 3/26 - We are meeting with our new RE on 3/31. Dh and I are both nervous and excited. I made my annual for 4/28, the soonest I can thanks to insurance  I'm not sure when we can get started as I still have not had a period. I am bfing morning and night still and until we have a little more of a plan, I can't cut A off completely just yet. We have told a few friends about going back, but we have decided to again not share with any family members. My IL's are particularly invasive with private matters and since all of my IL's have gotten pregnant VERY easily, they don't at all understand what a difficult journey it is for us, even though we told them everything after we announced with A.

Mayzie15 – 3/26 - We are officially canceled for this cycle. I was supposed to start taking estrace tomorrow but we are delayed until May. My pathology results haven't come back from my hysteroscopy and we need those back first. My mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer over a year ago so I would rather be safe than sorry.

mdiblasi10 - 3/27 - I'm on day four of Lupron and took my last Aygestin pill yesterday. I'm looking forward to starting stims on Sunday. Sounds weird but I honestly want this time up until the retrieval to go by fast, mostly because of my anxiety about the actual retrieval..

MoFree - 3/5 - Unfortunately I'm out since I got a BFN on Sunday, leaving me angry, bitter and in shock. I will be on hold for a little while since I am not ready to be OAD and right now don't have the emotional reserves to even think about a fresh cycle.

Pam MG - 3/19 - I am what seems to be the longest 2WW every and I promised mil we would go see her on Monday which happens to be FIL second passing anniversary 

PennyLane26 – 3/26 - Twiddling my thumbs waiting for beta on Monday 3/31 after our first FET. I am taking a HPT tomorrow morning I've decided, I will be 10p6dt so if there's is no + I know we are pretty much out this cycle. Fingers crossed!

Prettyaccountant – 3/19 - Started Meds and had first ultrasound which showed nothing. 4 on one side and 6 on the other but all under 10. Combine that with the last analysis DH had showing 1 non motile sperm - and I feel like I am doomed here.

readyornot24 – 2/19 - I am finishing up BCP on Sunday and then stims start next week. I can't believe this process is starting again, really hoping the change to antagonist with HGH is the lucky ticket.

srveatch – 3/26 -  I'm towards the end of my 2ww. Beta is scheduled for Monday and I haven't tested yet. I am terrified that this didn't work again. I may POAS on Sunday morning.

STL34 – 3/26 - I am still in the 2ww.  Today is 8dp3dt.  Beta isn't until 4/3/14.  I'm not sure I can hold off testing that long!  I am considering testing on Monday.  I was the equivalent of 14 dpo when I got a positive HPT with Lil.  But, that was after a negative beta and the day before a low positive.  I know I should really wait until Wednesday.  But, I will be 36 on Tuesday and if this worked, it would make turning 36 so much better.  Of course, if it didn't work, I would be misereable on my bithday...

trigirl79 - 3/26 - after a week of spotting I stopped the prometrium. went last week for BW and U/S. lining thing, estrogen a little high but overall everything looked OK. started BCP x 14 days then hoping for AF so we can get this show on the road! 

ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon

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... include your EDD!!

Imoverit – 3/26 - 37 weeks on Friday. Woo hoo!! Never thought Id make it this far. 

Mr.& Mrs. Woodtick – 3/26 -  I am 32 weeks today! I had my first BPP done Tuesday and I have a growth US this afternoon. I will have weekly BPPs done from here on out.  

Cwhitaker27 - 3/12 - 25 weeks today. Had my GTT on Monday. I haven't heard anything back, so far no news is good news. Continuing to be team green!

Eve_Angelique - 3/26 - Pretty sure I have felt #2 squirming around a little bit, which is so welcome! Also super stoked for my u/s on Friday to find out if its a little man or a little lady!

Kdfecarie, EDD 8/29/14 (CS 8/22/14) - 3/26 - nothing new for now, we have our 20 week scan in 2 weeks and a F/U a week after that...

carrera317 – 2/19 - I am about 12 weeks. I found out yesterday the results of my harmony test. All is normal for chromosomes 13, 18, and 21 and the sex ones. We found out the gender but are torn on whether to tell people. We didn't find out w our boy and it was so fun. Either way, results allowed us to have some relief and now we actually "feel" pregnant. I can't wait to tell my parents and son!

Kissies - 2/26 - I'm late on my update b/c I wanted to see what ob had to say, then I got a migraine! I'm happy to report I finally stopped spotting bright red! Still on PIO daily for now. in 4 weeks she's considering switching me to weekly shots I asked her to please ask high risk dr. I cracked and got zofran the nausea and vomitting was too severe so hard I can't even tolerate water the most! I have my anatomy scan and next appt in 4 weeks.

LeoLauren - 1/15 - It's official. BFP x 2! Omg (what I'll be saying a lot for the next 7 months)!

Mnerani – 3/26 - I'm happily closing out my first tri at the end of this week. I'm in the States visiting a different family member every few days, and it's been fun telling each one in-person. I love that my nausea has gone away and my energy is back. Second tri is the best and I'm going to enjoy every day of it.

Ironmom2be - 3/19 - Betas doubled, I had a tiny bit of pink spotting last week but it went away as quickly as it came. Last night I started spotting again so nurse had me come in today for an u/s (I'm 6w2d) so she hoped we'd see something. Lil' Bean measured exactly 6w2d and had a hb of 120. I go back next Tuesday for my previously scheduled u/s at 7w

BabyKsMommy - 3/26 - After 2 good betas I'm waiting for my u/s on April 11th. Hopefully the time will fly by. 

ccam - 3/26 - Surprise BFP during our break/testing cycle while waiting on FET #3.  Betas are good so far.  Beta #3 next Tuesday and our first u/s will be next Thursday.  Still in shock!!

    Ok- I'll guess I'll join in ;)

    We are meeting with our new RE on 3/31. Dh and I are both nervous and excited. I made my annual for 4/28, the soonest I can thanks to insurance :( I'm not sure when we can get started as I still have not had a period. I am bfing morning and night still and until we have a little more of a plan, I can't cut A off completely just yet. We have told a few friends about going back, but we have decided to again not share with any family members. My IL's are particularly invasive with private matters and since all of my IL's have gotten pregnant VERY easily, they don't at all understand what a difficult journey it is for us, even though we told them everything after we announced with A.

    QOTW: we used to go play in the creek, swim in the pool, use the slip n slide and ride bikes all summer long as young kids! We also had lots of woods to play in behind the house. My childhood BFF was my neighbor, so my, my brother, her and a few other friends would often disappear and explore the woods for hours! It was so much fun, but I can't imagine letting kids do that today :( I hope A gets the chance to play like that though, someday!

    IVF #7 August 2019-....?
  • I am lining up what feel like a million appointments in preparation for what will hopefull be a FET this summer.  So far I've see my endocrinologist and my thyroid as of right now is good.  I have an appointment next week with my hematologist to discuss the wisdom of taking estrogen giving my history of a DVT, then at the end of April I'll go back for another pap test which had better be good and then it's on to the RE for whatever testing they will do. 

    I have August in my head as to when I'd like to do the FET but I know that will be here before I know it (as I watch snow/sleet fall outside.)

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

  • Update: nothing new for now, we have our 20 week scan in 2 weeks and a F/U a week after that...

    QOTD: we would go camping and swimming, play out side all day long, BBQ, and generally run a muck! :)

    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!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

  • Eve_Angelique how exciting that you find out soon!

    Mayzie15 I'm very sorry to hear about your delay. I hope the results come back fine.

    I'm happily closing out my first tri at the end of this week. I'm in the States visiting a different family member every few days, and it's been fun telling each one in-person. I love that my nausea has gone away and my energy is back. Second tri is the best and I'm going to enjoy every day of it.

    Hugs to all who need it.

    I am still in the 2ww.  Today is 8dp3dt.  Beta isn't until 4/3/14.  I'm not sure I can hold off testing that long!  I am considering testing on Monday.  I was the equivalent of 14 dpo when I got a positive HPT with Lil.  But, that was after a negative beta and the day before a low positive.  I know I should really wait until Wednesday.  But, I will be 36 on Tuesday and if this worked, it would make turning 36 so much better.  Of course, if it didn't work, I would be misereable on my bithday...

    QOTD:  When we were little my parents used to take me and my sisters to our town's "park program."  It included tennis lessons (really just cheap rackets and balls provided to a bunch of kids), organized games, board games and swimming lessons.  It was so much fun!
