Re: **3T Weekly Check-In**
No update on me... I still *think* I ovulated earlier this week...but I still haven't gotten CHs and my temps are a bit wonky. Who knows what's up with my body. ::eye roll:: So I'm doing that lovely "W" word for the time being....waiting.
QOTW: I didn't do a bracket to compete this year....but I did call winners when they announced all the teams and then have been keeping track of who I thought would get to where.
So my final 4 picks are: Kentucky vs Marquette and North Carolina vs Syracuse.
As far as the Championship...I have to stick with the good 'ol SEC and say Kentucky. SEC! SEC! (although it wouldn't surprise me if NC won it)

Congratulations Cutebride!! --TWINS!! Congratulations, Luvie, on your sweet boy! Congrats, Jess! So happy for you ladies!
~~Also best of luck to Kati, illinigal, and youngin!~~
Update: We are set to start IVF 2 as soon as my next cycle starts in a couple of weeks. The BCP are sitting in the drawer waiting for me to take them. It looks like we should have ER around the first part of May.
QOTW: I do follow basketball, so I have no idea was going on for March Madness.
Nothing new with me. CD 43 today and testing in 1 week.
QOTW: Not into the basketball at all, or really any college/professional sports for that matter. DH is from another country and only occasionally watches rugby, so we're a good match in that way. We like to spend our weekends doing other things like going to the beach, hiking, riding bikes, etc. But we'll probably watch the championship game with friends since most of them are into it.
I don't see my name anymore...I must have missed a check-in. Could I please be added back?
Here is my information again:
1.) What is your name? Breanna or happilyeverafterxo
2.) When did you start TTC? July 2010
3.) What is your diagnosis? PCOS
4.) What treatments have you done? I just had a Lap & Hysteroscopy this cycle and both of my tubes were successfully unblocked. We are going to TTC naturally until June and then if necessary start Clomid.
Chemical Pregnancy
I still have my period and can't wait for it to leave! No charting this month. My emotions are a little all over the place, b/c last year about this time I got pregnant. So it will be almost a year since my m/c. I seriously thought we'd be pregnant again by now.
Anyway, I used to love U of Md basketball when I was in college. They suck now, and I don't really love basketball much anyway, so I'm not really into it anymore. I'm a football kinda girl. I hate baseball as well.
Started fertility treatments 11/2010

....OR NOT.
Pregnant 12/2018 despite birth control pills
Here we go again...
Due 8/26/19!
Update: Had ET yesterday and my beta is currently scheduled for 3/30. However, I just emailed my coordinator to ask if it could be moved up Not sure why I should agonize any longer than I have to, and my last clinic had my test at 14dpER.
QOTW: Basketball is one of the few sports I don't follow! I grew up on football and MH is a big baseball fan, and after being together 7 years he finally convinced me to join him in his obsession. The first year I did, his team (the SF Giants) won the World Series, which was pretty awesome. I surprised him for his October birthday with a ticket to the playoffs, which I'm pretty sure is one of his most memorable birthdays ever. He had no idea... I just told him I was taking him to a sports bar to watch the game... and took him to the stadium instead
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.
Hope is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - and sings the tune without the words - and never stops - at all - (Emily Dickinson)
July 2012:IUI #6 on 7/28, BFP on 8/9,beta 97, 8/11 189, 8/13 400!! DS born 4/18!
9/30/13 - Miracle BFP, released from RE 10/21, EDD 6/6/14, DD born 5/27!
6/19/16 - Miracle BFP, EDD 2/25/17
I am on CD 3. I think we are going to take a step back for a cycle or 2 to get some things in order. I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed by a few things lately and just need a break. I am still going to lurk around the boards.
As for a bracket, I didn't fill one out but I am rooting for the University of Kentucky to go all the way!
Update: Day 5 of Provera. My CD21 P4 was 0.7 so no chance at a miracle break cycle BFP. Waiting waiting waiting.
QOTW: I only start paying attention during March Madness. Our tv doesn't leave a game during the tourney. DH is a die-hard Duke fan so that's the only team we watch during the year. He was not too happy Friday night when they got put out by a 15 seed. No brackets for me, but with all the upsets, I probably would've had a shot.

NCAA: I am so embarrassed that my No. 2 Missouri Tigers lost to No. 15 Norfolk State in the first round that I don't think I can watch anymore.
Adam & Shoshie 10-21-07: "My family is big and loud and everybody's in each other's lives and business. ... but wherever I go, they will always be there." * My Blog: Tales of a Hopeful Jewish Mom to Be *
Update: Still waiting on AF to start IUI #2.2.
Dont really follow basketball but the lady Aggies are still in so if I can I will probably watch them play.
Update: Nothing new. CD35, so it appears my never ending cycles are back. We are just saving, saving, saving!
QOTW: Basketball is the about the only sport I don't follow. I'm a huge football fan and getting into baseball little by little. DH is not much of a sports fan, unless he's at a game.

I haven't been following college basketball for the last few years.
I had my saline sonogram and it was all clear. DH finally has a urologist appointment tomorrow. Hopefully he will finally get a SA! I'm taking a break from temping this cycle and just relying on other signs.
QOTW: Who?s into college basketball? If you did a bracket, how are you doing so far? Who?s in your final 4 and who do you have as winner?
I did a bracket. I know nothing about basketball, so I just picked teams based on ratings and the names I like.

Update: DH is meeting with a new urologist on Thursday. Hopefully it will go smoother than the last one.
QOTW: Who?s into college basketball? If you did a bracket, how are you doing so far? Who?s in your final 4 and who do you have as winner?
I love college basketball. I did a bracket. It is me and DH doing a friendly bet. I am doing ok but not great but I am beating DH. I have UK, Marquette, Ohio State, and Kansas. I have Kansas as the big winner.
Update: I'm 11 dpo and waiting for the spotting to begin. It always starts the afternoon of 11dpo. Sigh.
QOTW: Ew, basketball. :P I grew up on football and MH brought me into baseball.

We are doing our first IUI this cycle. I have my next monitoring appointment Tuesday. I am traveling back and forth to a conference about 2 hours from my house Monday-Wednesday so I hope all goes according to plan and we have the procedure done on Thursday. A girl I work with just got her BFP after doing her first IUI last cycle. I am so excited for her, but am trying not to let it get my hopes up too much.
QOTW: My husband went to Chapel Hill, and I went to a Division 3 school. As a result, we are Tarheel fans! No bracket for me.
DX: PCOS/Recurrent losses/MTHFR mutation (compound hetero)
5 hysteroscopies/2 surgical
3 Inject IUIs = 2 m/c's and 1 BFN
IVF #1= BFP. m/c at 7w6d. Needed 2 D&C's and scar tissue removal. Mild OHSS
IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
No updates here.

I am 11 DPO, and I have been spotting since 6 DPO- which really frustrates me because I was hoping the lap to clear up the endo would have put a stop to the spotting for a week before AF every.single.cycle. Just waiting for AF to start, then I'm doing Femera with IUI... can't wait! Hope somehow doing something different will make a difference.
QOTW: I do follow basketball, but am more into women's basketball than men's. I am a huge fan of the UConn Women. My men's final four was: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, and North Carolina, with Syracuse winning. My Women's final four was Baylor, Stanford, Notre Dame, and UConn, with Baylor winning.
Lap&Dye/Hysterscopy Feb 2012: Endo stage 2
April - June 2012: Femera 5 mg & 3 IUIs = All BFN July/August 2012: IVF #1 = C/P
September/October 2012: IVF #2 BFP! Beta 1= 223 Beta 2 = 480 Beta 3 = 11,440
My beautiful daughter was born June 21, 2013
TTC #2 naturally, no luck
IVF #3 April 2015: BFN
IVF #4 July 2015: BFP! Beta 1 9dp5dt = 409, Beta 2 13dp5dt = 1743
Ovulated I believe on Thursday or Friday so with my 12 LP on progesterone sups just waiting for the Tuesday after next for AF to show and get this party started on IUI #3 take 2.
QOTD: We dd a really really cheap one at work, so I only have $5 riding on this. But I did get into a bracket. For the final four I have Kentucky, Marquette, Syracuse, and Kansas. I have Syracuse winning the whole thing. Back in 2002 when I sold CBS commercial air time my boss said the only way to get into selling it was to bet on it. And I won the television station's pool beating sports casters and everything! When asked why I picked my upsets, I explained I picked based on where my friend's went to school (since I was 23 at the time). All the men hated me for it, but I really loved my $400! And have bet on it ever since, not to have won again.
IUI#4 1/23/13 on 75iu x9 Follistim = BFP then chem preg m/c (Feb 2013)

IUI #5 was last Monday. I had my progesterone checked on Friday and am now on Crinone twice a day (new for me, have done once per day starting the day after every IUI before this one).
QOTW: I didn't do a bracket this year, but am hoping for a Kentucky vs. Syracuse championship because it would be exciting for my family. My aunt and uncle went to UK and my grandfather went to Syracuse. It is always a big family party with some good fun when they play each other.
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**
Update: Today I am 13dpiui and I go in for my beta tomorrow. I just know for a fact that I am not pregnant, though I refuse to test at home. I just want to get the results back quickly so that I can stop the progesterone supps. Sorry to be a debbie downer...all of these hormones are messing with my mind.
QOTW: I am not into basketball at all. DH is running a pool that has over 100 participants and it taking up so much of his time!
TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771
First Clomid cycle was a bust. I go in for my first baseline tomorrow or Tuesday (my period started on Sat and they've been closed since)
My team is Michigan and they lost in the first round.
Update: We have an appointment for a second opinion on the 27th. In the meantime we are taking a break until we figure out our next steps. We booked a vacation in June so we probably won't cycle again until after that. Today I is CD 14 (3dpo) and I'm already spotting. LPD at it's best.
QOTW: I do not watch basketball at all.
Hey there!
ANOTHER postcoital test is on Tuesday with possible IUI#2 on Wednesday. My RE took me off all meds but metformin this cycle, so we'll see if his stroke of genius will work. I hope to god this works! On a happier note, DH had his 3rd SA this week, and he is finally back in the normal range!! Whoo!!!!
QOTW: I picked Syracuse. I done like basketball, but I do like to gamble!
Update on me:
I didn't check-in last night because I was in 'BFP limbo'. My +HPT was confirmed at 16.9 on Monday then it's just gone down since. The miscarriage bleeding didn't actually start until yesterday. For now, since it was down to 8.1 Friday, they're Dx it as another early miscarriage. I go back at the end of the week for another blood draw to make sure my hCG does go down to 0, since my last loss was ectopic.
I am meeting with my RE March 30th to discuss next steps and possible further testing, although I don't know what because on top of our IF testing I had RPL b/w drawn after my 3rd loss and all that came back normal.
QOTW: I am not a big fan of basketball but I always root for OSU Buckeyes because I am a huge OSU football fan... can you tell from my SN?
Sorry to hear you're spotting already so soon. Good luck at your appointment next week!
***Update*** no update for me.. Just waiting for my CD3 and HSG testing..
***QOTW*** I like the UCLA Basketball team, but that's as far as my basketball participation goes.
*Married 12/30/2009*
*TTC since 11/2010*
*Left tube fully blocked, needs to be removed*
*Right tube partially blocked, hoping to save but may be removed as well*
*RE suspects endo*
*laparoscopy & hysteroscopy coming soon*
Not much going on here, waiting on AF so I can get the last of my bloodwork in and then we move on to Clomid + TI + IUI in the next two cycles. I am excited to be moving on, but a little nervous about the medication.
QOTW:
I don't watch college basketball.

Everyone Welcome!
I had IUI #2 yesterday and already am feeling impatient..
I am not into college basketball!
I'm 5dpIUI, crossing my fingers and toes and whatever else I can. Appointment on Tuesday to check things out. Not really sure why - progesterone levels, I guess?
QOTW: I filled out my first bracket ever this year. Even though it's looking horrible, I'm glad to have a reason to follow what's happening.
Have you ever had your progesterone checked? Spotting before AF points to LPD/ low progesterone. Endo causes random bleeding and spotting at least in my case but what you're describing seems like a progesterone issue to me. If you have not had it done you need 7dpo p4 check
On estrogen prepping for IVF#2 in April.
QOTW: i jump on the bandwagon for March Madness. I have 2 brackets and am losing miserably!! I have Ohio St going all the way in one and Michigan St in the other...Hoping things pick up for me and I pull ahead!!
QOTW: Who?s into college basketball? If you did a bracket, how are you doing so far? Who?s in your final 4 and who do you have as winner?
I wouldn't say I am into college basketball, but I have a couple brackets. I can't remember who is in my final 4, but I have Kentucky taking it all.
I am still on my first Clomid cycle. It should be ending this week, if I am not pregnant.
