Re: **3T Weekly Check-In**
Trials & Adventures in Baby Making
Stuck in counting limbo.
SAIF always welcome!!
Fortune from UnderwaterRhymes: A new outlook brightens your image and brings new friends.
Update: Looks like I O the day after my IUI. I feel good b/c we had much better numbers this time. Hoping my left tube is the good luck charm I needed (first time since being with my RE that I ovulated on my left side). I haven't decided if I'll test Thanksgiving morning or not... I'm thinking I'll wait until the day after b/c I don't want to ruin Thanksgiving. We'll see how I feel.
I know there are several other ladies in their 2ww so good luck to all of us and hope this is a memorable Thanksgiving for us this year!!
QOTW: I wish I had more time to be crafty. My G'ma taught me to do plastic canvas, cross stitch, and crochet but sadly I haven't done any of them in a really long time. I made some plastic canvas ornaments a long time ago.
I also love to scrapbook (which I consider crafty) but as stated above, haven't found the time to do it in a while. And I love to paint too and hope to do a few painting before Christmas.

After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!

No Updates Here.
I used to be very crafty but I have not done a lot since graduating college but for my friends wedding in October I made them a plaque to remember the day.

I am not too crafty. I do like to scrapbook and once in a while will refinish a piece of furniture.
Good luck Zook! I hope your 2ww speeds by!
Update: b/w showed I O'd so, I started Lupron this morning! 1 shot down ~37 more to go before ER!
QOTW: I like to think myself crafty. Mostly I knit (and crochet sometimes too). I've organized some different crafty events like carving and painting candles and decorating lightswitch covers. I hope I can do some of that stuff with a little one of my own one day!!!!

Tons of love and ((hugs)) to my IF sister NMscubagirl
Update: tubes clear, dx w/uterine abnormality, ovaries normal
RE appt. Thursday to determine how to proceed
QOTD: Least crafty woman ever! I would rather do math problems.
Praying unceasingly for a miracle. ALL welcome!
Hi Zook and friends! I haven't updated in a while, but I'm still here, of course. I started BCP's yesterday for IVF #1!! Stims don't start until after the holidays but we wanted to use my natural cycles to start birth control. Feels good to be doing something, even if it is just popping that little pill each night.
QOTW: Three years ago I would have said no way was I crafty. Since then I've learned to knit and sew. I've made tons of things! 3 quilts, lots of bags, many curtains, a robe, warm weather accessories, etc. Here's a pic of the quilt I made of our bedroom. In my blog you can see the corner of a poncho i knitted in my latest post.

My IF-turned-baby blog
Hello all,
I just joined this board as some of you know. My screen name is hopeful3741. My name is Katie. My husband and I have been TTC since April 2010. We have had some testing done. HSG normal, LH & Prolactin normal also Semen analysis normal. So we have our first appt with an RE this Thursday. This board has already helped me quite a bit. I wish you all the best of luck!
Update: I'm switching to Femara this cycle.
QOTW: I like to knit, crochet, and cross-stitch because they follow patterns. I'm trying to become a scrapbooker, but I lack creativity.
TTC#1 since 5/2010 (charting, AO)
2/2011: DX: PCOS, hypothyroid (1700 mg Metformin, 50 mcg Synthroid)
8/10/2011: First RE appt.
9/2011 & 10/2011: Clomid + Ovidrel + TI = BFN
11/2011: Femara + Ovidrel + TI = BFN
1/2012: Femara + Follistim + Ovidrel + TI = BFP! (Praise the Lord!)
?3/23/2012: Graduated from the RE... moving on to a regular OB!?
?10/29/2012: Our precious baby boy was born via emergency C-section. 5 lbs, 13 oz; 18" long ?
Hi everyone-- I'm Faith, we've been TTC since 9/10. Diag endo in 2000, borderline FSH, mild MFI. Was doing my first IUI this cycle but it was cancelled after I had no response to Clomid or an FSH shot. We've decided to continue w the acupuncture and try naturally for a while. We're also looking into adoption, but I'm not ready to give up on TTC yet.
As for crafts-- I knit. Am currently making this hooded scarf thing, but my cat got into the yarn, and it is a mess right now. So, I put it in the closet until I find myself having a patient day.
Am also making a bunch of those no sew fleece blankets for Christmas.
Good Luck Zookie!!!!
No real update. But we're now closing in on only about 70ish days until we can finally move forward with IUI #3 with injects. Woohoo! It finally feels like it's right around the corner!
QOTD: I didn't ever really think of myself as crafty since I can't sew or crochet. But my MIL & SIL think I'm very crafty since I scrapbook & come up with creative DIY things. I have wanted forever to make a quilt out of the bridesmaid dresses I have worn from my four best friends weddings (these are the four that then were my bridesmaids)...but that just hasn't happened. I'm thinking of getting the balls to ask my mom for her sewing machine over Thanksgiving and finally learning. I've actually taken apart two of the dresses so I just have fabric laying around.
IUI#4 1/23/13 on 75iu x9 Follistim = BFP then chem preg m/c (Feb 2013)

I am in the 2ww of our first injects cycle. Tomorrow is my progesterone b/w. Then another week of waiting. My hopes are down and I prefer them that way
QOTW: I am not super crafty, but I have made some holiday decorations. Last year I made my own wreath and a thing for holding our cards on our mantle (not sure what to call it).
TTC #2
I got a positive opk today with no meds other than glumetza after several weeks. My next RE appt is the 23rd. We will be making a plan for the next cycle if this one is a bust.
qotd
Hum, I try to be crafty sometimes. I Have several things pinned on pinterest that I am going to try to make for Christmas.
Update: Moving forward to our next IUI (it's actually the 4th one) - I'm on CD 8 and given my last couple of long cycles I am guessing the IUI will be over Thanksgiving weekend. I am hoping for either that Saturday, Sunday or Monday - so I don't have to miss work. Trying to stay really positive for this cycle - I so need this to work! I even ordered a fertility yoga DVD that my RE recommended - so we'll see what that's like. I am also taking some herbs from my acupuncturist since this is an unmedicated IUI.
QOTW: I am not really crafty in the traditional sense. I used to cross stitch in high school, but I never finished a project. I wish I would have learned to crochet from my grandma, but sadly I never did. I would think I would be into scrapbooking, seems like I would like it, but I've never gotten into that either.
I do like cute decorating ideas and I try to do those types of crafty things - I made tissue paper poms for a couple of parties and I made a beautiful card box (with pictures) for my parents 50th anniversary. I also made their centerpieces using photos too.

I ovulated today, so our next S/A is 11/17, and our next MFI uro appt is 11/30.
No update...sitting out this cycle.
QOTW: I can do plastic canvas, but I don't do it because I don't feel like I can use it anywhere. I did make Barbie furniture out of it when I was 10...that was pretty cool. Currently, I cross sitch alot. I love doing it. I usually stick to holiday themes so I can display them.
Update: Started BCP this past Monday and mock transfer and injectables class this Tuesday.
QOTW: No, I am not really that crafty. I am more of a baker. I made choclate chip cookies this afternoon.

update - lap was all clear and I'm on my last cycle before going on bcps in prep for IVF. So far it has been strangely normal so I'm hoping for good things.
QOTW - I am not crafty at all, though I really wish I was.
TTC since 2010
lots of IUIs and 1 IVF all BFNs
FET currently on hold
Finished taking Clomid 150 mg Saturday. The hot flashes are killing me this cycle. IUI #2 will most likely be Friday.
DH & I also decided this weekend that if IUI #2 is fail we will try to try 1 or 2 more IUI's (depending on RE recommendation) and then move on to IVF, we have limited insurance coverage and don't want to blow all our coverage on IUI and then not be able to do IVF if needed.
QOTW: I am not crafty at all
.
Update: My diagnosis is now DOR. I'm doing my first injects IUI (2nd total IUI).
QOTW: I love doing crafts just rarely have the time. Scrapbooking and card making are my favorite. I'm also crotcheting my first baby blanket as a gift for my goddaughter.
IVF #1- BFN
IVF #2- BFP!!! Beautiful baby girl became an angel on 2/6/13 at 17.5 weeks due to PPROM/IC
**PAIF/SAIF welcome**
QOTW: Any crafty ladies out there?? What crafts do you like? What have you made?
I am making these photo coasters for Christmas gifts. I also taught myself how to sew this summer so I made aprons for all of my teaching teammates this year. I also like to scrapbook, but I don't love it enough to do it all the time.
I don't really have any updates but I have my fingers crossed that my H can do a SA this week! He is home for a whole week for the first time since May. I am so happy! He is thinking that he might get to be home for a few weeks, which "should" coincide with my fertile time. I go to my gyno in December. I am going to try to up my appointment and get in a little earlier. I am going to try to get an HSG scheduled.
IUI#2 was a bust, so just waiting for AF to arrive. Then onto IUI#3 and a change in meds (probably injects).
QOTW: I am unfortunately not crafty at all
