Trouble TTC

-:- 3T Weekly Check-In -:-

Welcome to the weekly check-in! 

Reply to this post if you would like your information updated.  Please post an update at least monthly so I know you are still active - even if your info hasn't changed.  You will be removed if you go more than four weeks without posting.  

If you would like to be added or updated, please answer the questions below:

1. What is your name (if you want to share)?
2. When did you start TTC (month/year)?
3. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)?
4. What treatments are you doing?

For everyone who is up to date on the above, where are you in your current cycle and how's it going?

If you are finally getting your BFP, please PM me so I don't miss it!  Also this helps me avoid posting an ambiguous BFP if you're not ready to officially call it.

 

QOTW: What's one TV show (or more..) you don't like to admit you watch?

Re: -:- 3T Weekly Check-In -:-

  • I just got back from U/S to check follies, and totally didn't even ask what the numbers were (really just didn't want to be there), but now I'm freaking out a tiny bit because she gave me another 3 injects of Gonal-F, and not another U/S until Tuesday. Last time I didn't need any extra injects on top of the original 2 I always do on CD7 and 9, and we did another U/S the very next day. I'm just praying that she knows what she's doing and I don't over stim. Let the paranoia begin!

  • I had my first IUI on Wednesday. Felt really good about it all until today. DH and MIL had me assisting them with yard work and I feel like I may have done too much. So now I'm really mad at myself for being so helpful and getting hot and doing physical labor. I did take it easy but work is work. Beta is on the 25th. Do you guys think I've done damage by allowing myself to work outside today?

  • @Kcheese‌ sorry for your BFN!

    Femara and TI cycle #2 is a BFN-AF arrived today. I wasn't expecting good news but it's still a major let down. I did switch REs, but I'm still in the same practice, just someone who specializes in PCOS. Starting femara again on Monday.

    *****Everyone is Welcome*****

  • Had my 5th IUI on Wednesday morning. There were tears, two people who attempted the procedure, news that my DH's white blood cell count had skyrocketed, and one stressed out DH attending for the first time. He needs to take antibiotics and visit a urologist.

    Planning to start some serious conversations with RE's office about getting us on the schedule for IVF. Apparently you get your deposit back if you end up pregnant while you were waiting.

    Sometimes I'm excitedly looking forward to a treatment break and IVF in our future, other times I'm feeling awful about the whole thing...

    QOTW: Lately, Botched has been my guilty pleasure!
    Married in 2006, TTC since Dec 2012
    Unexplained IF, Hypothyroidism

  • I am 6 dpo in a natural cycle. One more natural cycle to go before ivf! The ivf nurse is sending out my projected calendar and calling in my prescriptions any day now. I'm still feeling pretty calm about everything at this point.

    I'm cheering for all you ladies in treatment cycles and hoping to see lots of bfp's soon!!

    QOTW: I like the bachelor franchise shows. I also watch American Idol and occasionally Dancing With the Stars.

    IUI#2 was a BFN, which I completely expected so I was disappointed but not too sad.  This next cycle will be a natural cycle, as I will be visiting DH in The Netherlands!!  I am so excited to see him and for the travel experience.  We will plan for the next IUI when he returns.

  • Still a waiting game here. On CD11/12 (technically 12 since it's 12:48 lol). DH has his Uro appt on 9/22 bc of elevated WBC in his SA. I have more blood work the same day. Waiting for an appt date for the RE. Will be trying natural cycle this month again. FX for a good plan next cycle. Good luck to all the ladies on here!

    QOTW: I'm a tv junkie...it's all totally embarrassing. My DVR is always full. I like anything on Bravo, Lifetime, E!, and TLC. Some shows on MTV, some on ABC family, some on ABC, HGTV....well you get the picture. I'm a tv addict :)

  • Hey @ky29
    I have been on this board for about two months, but I haven't done this update. So, here goes. My name is Becky and DH and I have been trying since April, 2013. I just found out that I have a cyst on my left ovary. I haven't gotten an official diagnosis yet. I meet with an OBGyn tomorrow for the first time, after which I am sure I will be making a post. No treatments yet, but just trying to eat well, be healthy, and stay positive.

    Best of luck to everyone!

I don't always watch the bachelor, sometimes it's just too much, but I keep up to date on it.

  • CD2 ladies.

    Couple more months max before endo surgery. Starting some special DHEA, prognelanone and adrenal blend vitamins via my chiropractor on Tuesday. Hope they get rid of my endo without surgery. Worried that it's a state in my ute/feminine system and just surgery would be a band aid. Need to meditate more.

    That's my night check in
    Xo
    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! 
  • When did you start TTC (month/year)? July 2013
    What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? PCOS (still testing, though)
    What treatments are you doing? still testing!  HSG/SIS/SA on Friday

    I finished up my provera two days ago now I am just waiting on AF. I usually get it 4 days after my last pill.. I had major back pain this morning which usually means she is on her way! I've never been so excited to get AF but once she arrives I can schedule my cd 3 bw& u/s and HSG and sono HSG !
    @razzyRN HI! I remember you from TTGP a while back.  Looks like you're all done with school/NCLEX?  Congrats : ) It's a great feeling, isn't it?!

  • It's been a weird cycle. I officially have my period and I'm only CD15 today so I don't know what the hell is going on. I feel as though I had some left over follicles from my last clomid cycle and it totally jacked up my cycle. I went to the new RE last Tuesday and he saw two collapsed follicles and stated he couldn't tell if I had just ovulated or if they were cysts from last cycle. I'm going to call my old RE tomorrow since I will be in town on Tuesday to see if he can squeeze me in for an ultrasound. My new RE mentioned I had a fibroid so I want my old RE to give me his option on this apparent fibroid. 

    I think I'm going to bench myself the next month to see if my cycle regulates on its own because I have been regular, almost on the spot for the past 4 years, so fx this messed up cycle is not my body, but from the meds!

    Good luck everyone who is currently cycling!

    Me: 33, DH: 32

    TTC: 2 years
    Fertility blood tests all normal
    Tilted uterus
    3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
    HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
    DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
    All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL

    FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

    IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

    3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

    3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

    Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

    JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!

  • New to the check-in! Already running late, go figure.

    I'm Typo, and my husband and I have been trying to conceive since August 2013. I was recently diagnosed with mild PCOS, and I'm just finishing up my last natural cycle before going to medicated TI. I'm 7DPO right now and have been spotting since ovulation. Just waiting for it to ramp up to call CD1 and get in touch with the RE's office.


    I'm not embarrassed by the fact that I watch Gilmore Girls (because hello its the best show ever) but I am embarrassed by the fact that I seriously watch it EVERY DAY on syndication. I've seen the entire series through about 6 times, in order. It's my comfort TV!

    **EVERYONE WELCOME!! :)**

  • Hey hey everyone. Happy Monday!

    On CD31 over here. I was hoping with the weight loss that magically it would jump start a normal cycle. No such luck. I'm going to give it until Friday, take a HPT, and start my 10 day Provera.

    What else... Oh, I'm going to RE for blood work tomorrow: some genetic tests, titres for chicken pox and rubella immunity, and a follow up on my thyroid levels.

    QOTW: I'm embarrassed by it, but I still watch Glee. I actually hate it, but can't stop watching. At least it will be over soon. The other show I'm embarrassed I watch is ANTM, but at least that one I like.

  • First cycle done It most likely is a bust but I guess you can say I'm on a TWW but I don't have much hope since TI didn't work out :( so TWW then if I get. BFN I go on to round 2 of a medicated cycle with letrozole. But I did respond to the letrozole and had one foli measure at 23mm
  • Today is CD1. I feel like I got hit by a truck! I have AF pains and a cold. Ugh what a combo! Anyway I will hopefully find out tomorrow what our next step is (if they are keeping me on 5mg of femara or upping me) since I responded so late (Od CD19 again with 2 follies not much progress according to US) and had slow growth on follies. HOPEFULLY (FX) since there arent any holidays coming up soon I will be able to Trigger this cycle! (od over the holiday weekend DX )

    October 1st! I can't wait! I have seen most of the episodes, but not all (I ALWAYS miss the one where Rory gets arrested) because I've only watched it on syndication. I don't have it on DVD. Boo. I can't wait for October 1st!!!
