    two years ttc

    I am 2dp5dt ( I think it is technically a 6 day transfer but that stuff confuses me).  I just wrapped up my 48 hours of bedrest.  I thought I would enjoy it more but it got old pretty fast. I am now up and able to light activities so I am going to run a few errands.  I took the whole day off so back to work tomorrow. As for symptoms my main symptom is I am super gassy and have a mild crampy feeling. My boobs are sore but I am on PIO injections so that isn't abnormal.  Not sure when I will test.  Maybe start Monday.  EmotionallyI don't know how to feel.   Moments I feel super confident and positive and other times I feel like it isn't going to work.  Trying to stay positive!

    QOTD:  i melt just looking in my husbands beautiful eyes :)  his but is super nice too though :)  his sense of humor is what I find most sexy though.

    1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from...Austrogermokee from Baltimore. 

    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? TTC#1 and only since September 2013

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?

    We had our first consult and had an US on day 13 showing two eggs ready to pop. Had my LH surge on day 14. Tried on days 12-14. I'm an OPK and Pre-Seed kind of girl.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? 

    Am on CD26, no AF yet, BFN yesterday and today. My AF is usually late CD24/early CD25, so I'm almost two days late. 

    I've been bloated and constipated, tired and a little headachy.

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) 
    I'm semi-hopeful. I'm also semi-dying of suspense! Gaaaaaah.

    QOTW: 
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other? 

    He always has my back.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....
  • @ksgsmu‌ I feel bed rest is awful. I thought I would watch movies and read but I was so crampy and miserable! Praying hard that this is it for you!!! @URMySunshine77‌ fx for you!! @JimBobCooter I really hope the changing of donors is not a stressful one...hugs :(

    1. Becky from Pitts
    2. Started with RE 4/11
    3. DE FET #1
    4. Just on estrace right now
    5. Very scared not really knowing if this truly is our last cycle if this doesn't work.

    QOTW: His eyes and his smile.

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    Good Luck everyone!  Let's hope those BFPs keep coming.

    1. lcwed, Lisa, TX

    2. How long have you been TTC#2 for 5 months.

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Fertility Friend and Wondfo OPK.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? CD 15 and waiting to O.  Everything but the dang OPK tells me it will be happening.  @ URMySunshine77 we should be true cycle buddies this month.

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? Right now anxious.  Timing is good, but bothered about not being able to turn an OPK yet, my test line isn't even darkening. I will feel better when FF confirms O with a temp rise.  If we don't get pregnant it is not from lack of trying this month.

    QOTW:
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other? I love his patience and the realistic way he looks at everything.  His smile and blue eyes make my stomach flutter and the way he is with DD makes my heart melt.  I couldn't ask for a more perfect husband for me or dad for DD.

    @ksgsmu, FX for you!  @soontobeshrader, congrats on the weight loss!  And best of luck to everyone!

    1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from...
    Davie813, Chicago

    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...?
    6th cycle TTC#2

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?
    Have an appointment with OB next week for further testing and RE referral.  Natural cycles so far, with charting, temping, opks, lots of supplements, preseed, and acupuncture.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
    CD4

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
    Not very hopeful.  DH and I will still observe Sex Week, but we're concentrating more on improving our general health so we'll be well-prepared for treatment with the RE.

    QOTW:
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other?
    His smile.  Also, he has furry arms (I like this), and I love the way he smells.  Did I just call him smelly and hairy?  Plus, he's amazingly supportive of me and curious about the world (people, things, ideas) in a way I find very sexy.

    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? I'm very blessed, ttc #6 first cycle after lo's birth

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?  First pp cycle so nothing yet, we will not pursue medication/RE's, etc.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? cd3

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) I'm excited to be on the march forward, not anticipating anything happening for a while but hopeful to be pg before the end of 2014! 

    Davie813- love what you said!  I love my husband's arm, face and chest hair!  I think manly men are sexy! 

    My dh has beautiful grey blue eyes and the biggest heart in the world.  I love the way he loves me!

    Ts and P's for those that are in the 2ww! 

  • lcwed - i also was getting a lot of O symptoms for a while before the OPK gave proof.  I think we wore each other out though.  We did BD the day before, and the day it was +.  But the next day we didn't, and the day after that we tried but couldn't do it.  And, it didn't stick. So this month we're going to do BD not exactly every day... anyway, more below.

    1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from... 
    Radiantly, from Brooklyn

    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? 
    TTC#1 since August last year at our honeymoon, but actively trying with lots of BDing and temp/OPK since around Christmas.  Had a couple months off due to travel.

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?
    This month, I'm thinking of adding something, maybe Mucinex.  Any advice on that ladies?  
    I'm just charting temp, using OPK, taking womens fertility blend tea, prenatals (not every day, they're horse pills!), and cut out caffeine and alcohol (for the most part).  I've also been doing Maya Arvigo abdominal massage every night.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? 
    CD2.  I timed it pretty well last month and was hopeful, but didn't have any symptoms at all.  Tested at DPO10 and it was a BFN, so it helped me prepare for AF mentally.  Still, I was really hoping that we could break the news on our anniversary (july 20th).

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) 
    OK this one, again, hopeful!  My gyno said I seem to be fine and she's not concerned. My husband started going to acupuncture a month ago and maybe it will help if he has issues. Thinking about him going to get spermies tested, hmmmm.

    QOTW: 
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other?
    His size!  :) He is a full 6'6" and has size 16 shoes and an equally big .... BD tool haha.  He also has really soft hands and I love holding hands with him.  He is also very patient and fair, and good about cleaning the house (better than me actually!).
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    We're at 2 1/2 years TTC#2

    This was an oral meds IUI cycle for us.  I think our last one.  We're thinking we'll do a couple of natural cycles while meeting our prereqs for an IVF try this summer.  I'm still really conflicted, though.  We probably need to talk more about our decisions when I'm not so darn hormonal.

    I'm on CD 25, with a BFN on CD 23 and AF symptoms.  AF should arrive tomorrow.

    **child mentioned**

    While I know you're not really out until AF shows, I knew on Monday that this was a BFN cycle.  I'm feeling sad, anxious and generally out of sorts.  Also ridiculously weepy about things like my DDs graduation from preschool in to PreK.  Its hard to sort out how much is the hormones and how much is the situation. 

    QOTW: After 15 years, I still find my husband crazy sexy.  Strong shoulders, fabulous blue eyes with smile lines, curly hair... its a package that really works for me.  But, recently, my heart swells with love for him every time he demonstrates how much he appreciates and values my contribution to our family as a stay at home Mom.  Particularly as she pushes 4 and many people in our life don't understand why I'm not returning to my career.  (Of course, most of them assume we've decided not to have more kids, since we don't have one yet.)

  • CaraHCaraH member
    @jchickiem - Oh my goodness!  I hope that's a sticky BFP.  I'd be a nervous wreck by now.  Good luck!

  • 1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from... Meredith, FL (but TX at heart). *loss mentioned* 2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? TTC#1 since Nov 2013. MMC 3/14 3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping? We are TTA this cycle. My cycles have been off since the loss, I was trying to give my body a little more recovery time. 4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? CD 21 - I am hoping to make it to at least day 26 before AF arrives (last cycle was only 21 days, but before the loss I was a pretty consistent 28). I had some cramps a few days ago so who knows what that meant (if anything), so far AF hasn't shown. 5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) I am ready for it to be over as long as I make it a few more days without AF. I want to at least NTNP next month. QOTW: What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other? He has so many great features. I think my favorite physical feature is his eyes - they are blue, but one eye has a spot of green/yellow. It is a unique feature. My favorite character trait is his kind and sensitive soul. He brings out the best in me.

  • 1.  efhoping2010 in midwest

    2.  TTC #3 since May 2012

    3. Fresh  IVF/ICSI #4 with fresh PESA and AH

    4.  DH is scheduled to have his phone surgical consult for his PESA next Thursday, finally!  Once that happens my IVF clinic will schedule my cycle for July and give me my protocol, meds order, and orders for the mock transfer/SIS to be completed remote.  AF now seems to be on a 28 day cycle instead of a 31, I am thinking from the supplements, so that changes dates by quite a bit!  

    5.  Cautiously hopeful

    QOTW:  When DH introduced himself to me at work almost eight years ago and I saw that sexy smile and those kind eyes, he had my heart at that moment.  Now I know he is also an amazing father, I feel very blessed.

  • @soontobeschrader - Congrats on the weight loss! Keep up the good work, girl! ;)
    @Lady2010 - Your beta's look awesome!! SO SO happy for you!!
    I'd love to respond to all of you, but I'm at work so I hope the best for everyone! I look forward to checking the board every day. ;)

    1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from...
    Tat2Mami - Northern California
    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...?
    TTC #2 - 3rd Cycle
    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?
    Ovia App - Going to try OPK this month.
    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
    CD 11 - According to a couple of apps I have, I'm supposed to O today, tomorrow, or Sunday!  8-|
    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
    I don't know how I feel.. Hopeful, but don't want to be disappointed. I'm anxious about having my gallbladder removed on the 2nd. Just hate the recovery afterwards, but I'll be glad not to have the pain any more.

    QOTW:
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other
    Definitely his sense of humor. I've known my DH since 7th grade and he has always been hilarious! However, he is also attractive and although he can have a tough exterior, he has the biggest, most kindest heart. ;)

    Me: 38 ~  DH: 38 ~   DD: 8
    TTC #2 since March/April 2014.
     
     
  • Im here this week.

    Kirsten  - Southern California

    No clue. NPNT at the moment

    Just randomly doing the deed…..not charting or anything. In fact Not doing the deed very much lately so really we really are doing nothing. lol

    CD 23 

    How I feel is pretty much relived, There is no way we will be preggers this cycle since i cam nowhere near H during the supposed FW (no way of really knowing that without charting) but it would literally be a miracle.

    QOTW 

    Right now??? Not much. Usually it would be his sense of humor and his beautiful smile.

    KirstenAlecia - I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time right now.  Sending positive vibes your way that things will get better for you soon.

    1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from... 
                ewenner from Illinois
    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? 
               TTC #1 since about September 2013
    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?
                 Charting/temping, pre-natal vitamins, and DH just started some fancy vitamins the RE recommended.
    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? 
                  CD22.  I guess technically in the 2WW, but I don't feel like we're "in" this month. 
    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) 
                 I think we're out.  I have had so much job stress recently, so my cycle was weirder than usual (if that's possible for someone with irregular cycles), DH hasn't been feeling well,  and we only BD once during what might have been my fertile window.  
    QOTW: 
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other?
            His patience with me.  He is generally not a patient person, but with me, he is amazingly patient in every possible way.

  • @KirstenAlecia‌ big hugs! Thinking of you! Bfp warning****** 1) Samuelismomma , Sally, IN 2) ttc # 2 for a year. 3 m/c over the entire year. 3) Bfp 11 dpo...6 weeks today. U/s Wednesday...thoughts and prayers needed! Edd Jan 20, 2015, but I had d/s early so who knows....lol 4) as you all know I'm nervous! I also wanted to let you ladies know I added coq 10 and 1,000 mg of vitamin c, and b complex after my last m/c . They put me on all of these as soon as I was Bfp in Albania..my H remembered and made me start again! I love my H for a lot of things but mostly because he is a child at heart just like me and it keeps us young..I honestly can say I feel younger now than when I was 20. Stress and bad marriage I had really uncontrolled seizures and my H has been a God sent!

             vballgirl78- Wisconsin
    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? 
             TTC #2 since March, 2013....  We had a loss in August.  (12th cycle overall, 7th cycle AL)
    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?
               Charting with FF/temping every morning

  • 1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from... 
                ciara - indiana
    2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? 
               TTC #1 since Nov 2013
    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?
                 Pre-natal vitamins, baby aspirin, progesterone cream, had an acupuncture appointment before O. Have an appointment with the doctor this afternoon to make sure all is normal.
    4. Where are you in your cycle? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? 
                  DPO 8, just little aches on the left side, but that's normal, not much otherwise.
    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) 
                 I feel pretty good.  I honestly think that everything is fine with me so I'm not sure if it's a waste of time/money to go see the doctor.  It's taken other people a year to get preggers, so maybe I'm jumping the gun.
    QOTW: 
    What is your favorite feature about your spouse/significant other?
            He NEVER yells at me, no matter how frustrated he is with what I've done (or not done).  But he does get pretty angry...he just doesn't yell <3
