TTC Again Check In (??)

kmc84

I don't think I missed it.  @ccam , I hope you don't mind me posting this; I am just so excited that I needed to post an update

QOTW: What strange/unusual/special thing can you do?

kmc84

Update:

I had a baseline u/s and labs done at the RE on Tuesday and after NO PP cycles to speak of, I am completely baseline.  Quiet ovaries, very thin lining, baseline hormones..... Very odd, but it's making things move more quickly since we don't need to induce a bleed!  I started BCP's today and I am going for my SHG on Monday (along with my annual at the GYN and acupuncture a day!!!). On Wednesday, DH and I are going in for consent review and his part of the lab work. We are looking at the first week of June for ER/ET!!! Holy moly that's soon! If it all works out, we are going to be 2U2 (hopefully not 3U2 8-} )

QOTW: My thumbs are double jointed so I can wiggle them at the base-it's a good party trick

triggered 4/16, had my IUI on 4/18. counts were good - 82% motility and 43 million sperm! so now i'm the not so awesome 2ww. beta 5/2. 

QOTW: i don't think i have any special talents or weird party tricks that i show off to people. i'm a triathlete, so i've learned to pee on the go so to speak, but i try not to do it unless i absolutely have to.

Hi ladies - mind if I join the check in? I did my consult, repeat HSG, mock transfer, CD3 bw, infectious disease bw, and protocol meeting in the last 8 weeks and am starting BCP next week when AF shows up. We're attempting a mid June ER/ET which is when we cycled for DS, so depending on birthday we'd be right around 2U2. Overwhelming, indeed!

QOTD:  Thanks to a song we sang in elementary school, I can sing the states in ABC order. Useless unless you're on a bar trivia team - then it can win you stuff. (And I'm very happy to not be a triathlete after reading @trigirl79 's trick

kmc84

@Jenny935 it sounds like we be cycling very close together! So exciting!!

(and unfortunately, I think I know exactly what song you are referencing! I still have sadly not forgotten it and it pops into my head at the strangest times!

Update: I'm on day three of estrace and going to Accupuncture once a week. Taking about 20 vitamins etc a day and can't believe this cycle has started. I'm nervous and excited.

QOTW My weird party trick is similar to kmc84's my fingers are all double jointed. I can bend my thumbs all the way back to my wrist and my other fingers bend over at the joints.

Well according to my temp I'm ovulating now? And we've been having TI. It's a wait game from here on out!

QOTW: I can write so that it can only* be read in a mirror. Awesome trick in elementary school, but now it's no so cool!

Update: I just got released from the RE. I had my second u/s yesterday and everything looked healthy, I am measuring 1 day ahead at 8 weeks 1 day. I made an appointment with the OB for next week. QOTW- I can fit my whole fist in my mouth. It usually keeps the party going

kmc84

@Ducky719‌ , I'm sorry AF showed a 10 day LP is on the short end of normal I think. Isn't 10-12 normal right? Are you certain it was day 21? Maybe it's worth trying some oral progesterone for your own cycles? ((Hugs))

ccam

Sorry ladies!!! This completely slipped my mind last week. We've had a real crack down on internet use at work and posting the whole long check-in list from my phone is impossible. But then by the time I have a chance at home after DS is asleep, I'm pretty much passed out on the couch! I'll try and be better this week!

Update: I'm 9w2d and have my first OB appointment on Wednesday. Looking forward to seeing how much the LO has grown in 2 weeks!

Waiting to cycle IVF/ICSI #4, I am not giving up on this!  DH's surgeon called me last week out of the blue saying he is available July or August for his PESA so we could cycle either of those months if things turn around.  I still do not have a job but am actively looking and trying to stay positive.  I am trying to work on changing some things to hopefully help this cycle such as not eating or drinking from cans or plastic and replacing all plastic tupperware with glass, I bought a book online abut egg quality and improvement and am reading it.  I hope to restart acupuncture soon when it is in the budget again.  Plus our twins just turned 4, blah, they have grown up too fast

QOTW: Not strange or unusual but I can play many musical instruments, including viola, violin, cello, piano, harp, mandolin to name a few

Some really exciting updates on this thread!

Ducky719- that's obviously not a "textbook" normal cycle, but you were unmedicated, right? Personally, I would be really pleased with an unmedicated cycle like that. FWIW, I ovulated on CD20 with this pregnancy. As OP said, a 10 day LP is on the shorter side of what you need for a successful pregnancy, but it's still in the range, as far as I know.

Update: Starting off week 17. A/S in exactly one week and really excited to find out the sex!

QOTW: I am freakishly strong for a woman. I don't have bulging muscles or anything, but I'm insanely strong. I had all sorts of nicknames because of it in high school, and people used to come up and slap my butt then pretend they'd broken their hands. Wow, it really does sound strange when I write it out.

No update for me, still bleeding every 2-3 weeks it seems and waiting for June to come around.

QOTW: I've got nothing coming to mind.
