2) When did you start TTC (month/year)?
3) What is your diagnosis, if you have one?

Nothing new to update. In the next couple of weeks DH will have a repeat SA which will be the last of the testing before moving on to IVF #3.

QOTW: Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off of the goal. ~Henry Ford

sarah_e87

Update: The last few months have been very tough since my m/c and my husband deciding he wants a divorce because of my IF and m/c. I'm officially counting down the days until he's completely out of my apartment (only 22 days to go). I've taken legal custody of my niece and nephews, so I'm learning to navigate those waters. I'm also contemplating a medicated IUI cycle as early as November.

QOTW: What is one of your favorite quotes? I have several quotes that I absolutely love.

• You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face - Eleanor Roosevelt
• God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference ? Reinhold Niebuhr
• The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it ? Henry David Thoreau
• Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional - Annonymous

MrsZ816

Got a negative beta on Friday so I stopped progesterone and am waiting for AF.  IVF#2 will be either end of Sept. or beginning of October depending on when AF comes.

QOTW: "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."- Dr. Seuss

MonroesMisfit

1) What is your name (if you want to share)? Just for those family who might be floating around... I will just go by  MM (MonroesMisfit)

2) When did you start TTC (month/year)? March 2011

3) What is your diagnosis, if you have one? We are in the process right now, DH had his SA and now awaiting results, I have had CD 3 bloodwork, 2 hr glucose test, and on Wednesday I have my HSG. Then a week later we will have our follow up.

4) What treatments have you done? none yet

QOTW: What is one of your favorite quotes?

Tough girls come from New York. Sweet girls, they're from Georgia. But us Kentucky girls, we have fire and ice in our blood. We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin'. And if we have an opinion, you know you're gonna hear it.?---Ashley Judd

RmJohns92

Hi Ladies,

 I have IUI#2 tommarrow morning. This will be our last one before doing a scope for endometriosis.

QOTW: I can't think of any.

andy71781

Update - today is CD1 and tomorrow I go in for baseline u/s.  I'm praying that there aren't any cysts.

Quote:  "Everything will be ok in the end, if it's not, its not the end." 

katib77

Evening ladies! *Tips hat like a cowboy* No update except to say still in the middle of our looong @$$ break.  AF should be here tonight or tomorrow.  Not thinking much on TTC during our break aside from trying to remember every few weeks to have TI during O.  Really enjoying the summer without having to think about it. 

QOTW:  "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.  And no good thing ever dies."  and also "Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'"  They are both from my favorite movie of all time The Shawshank Redemption.  The first quote has been something I hold on to about holding on to my hope.  But the second...is the phrase I've been keeping in my head during the break times...time to start living! 

twistsandturnsto2

Update: I am 8dpIUI today and feel sort of blah about the whole thing. We had awesome numbers from DH again, but I started spotting today, so I'm just trying to hang onto some hope. DH has gotten really down during this 2ww too, so I'm trying really hard to keep him optimistic as well. 

QOTW: Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time.  I wish you the best of luck in this new phase and hope that things only get better.   This is one of my favorite quotes as well -- I try to remind myself of it often.  [[hugs]]

Thank you. Things will get better...they have to get better. I have that quote pinned up on my wall next to my calendar, that way I see it daily.

KLN1179

There really isn't an update from me.  I am still waiting to get on my H's insurance but now he has an interview for a new job (insert huge anxiety attack)!  So I don't know what is going to happen.

 

QOTW:

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

 

MJ14323

We are taking a break this month of TTC and meds. Lap is at the end of the month...hoping they find something. Will do 3rd IUI in either August or September depending on how the lap goes.

 

Favorite quote 'just know this, that God is faithful, even if you don't have faith yoruself' ....man I haven't thought of that quote in awhile. Seems to apply to my life right now.  

jschwind22

Not much to update here.  DH and I were able to talk a bit about IF treatments while we were on vacation, so hopefully it's a baby step closer to doing an IUI. 

 QOTW, PIP style:

mnj05

I did get my first ever BFP on June 29. I've had two betas (technically three as I went to the ER yesterday, but all is well!) and they're doubling nicely. I have one more beta tomorrow and my first official ultrasound is July 23.

I'm still lurking like crazy, trying to fight the urge to post, and I probably become more active on PAIF after the 23rd and I feel a little more comfortable. Good luck to everyone and I'll be cheering y'all on!!

One of my favorite quotes is "People are as happy as they make up their minds to be."

GonnaBMrs.A

I am 11dpiui and already poas this morning and got a BFN, so I'm not feeling very optimistic.  Beta is on Thursday so I'll probably wait until then to test again. 

QOTW: "When the world says give up, hope whispers try it one more time."

cdale86

1) What is your name (if you want to share)?  Christy

2) When did you start TTC (month/year)?  12/2010

3) What is your diagnosis, if you have one?  Unexplained.  I found short luteal phase from charting...but none the docs have been too concerned.  No longer an issues with endometrin anyways.

4) What treatments have you done?  4 cycles of Femara with TI.  Clomid + trigger + IUI + Endometrin.  Now added acupuncture.  

 

I had a cyst so we took a break last cycle and tried on our own.  We were not successful (shock).  Now we are clear for IUI #2.  Continuing with clomid (CD 3-7) + trigger and endometrin after IUI. 

Gregermis

FET#2 is a week from tomorrow!

QOTW - poem rather than quote

"Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succedd.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need."
    ~Emily Dickinson

Gregermis

Pinkmickeye - Good luck lady!

Sarah - BIG ((((hugs))))  I"m sorry you are going through such a rough patch

Shoshie

Still in 2ww for IUI #1... we will know Wednesday.

Favorite Quote: "Alright, let's get organized: what time is it and what day is it?" - Vera Charles

emmypants

Update.. The uro determined H has a grade 3 varicocele.  We meet with the uro again and our RE on Thur to determine a plan of action, most likely IVF, but not positive yet.

QOTW: Gosh, there are way to many lol 

Durham1008

No update. If I don't get AF on my own, this may turn into a break. DH and I are looking to get some things straightened out with our jobs.

QOTW: "Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens." J. R. R. Tolkien

I also like the one in my siggy.

zookbride

Good luck on your FET, Gregermis!!

Sarah, oopsie on the format... or did you decide to space everything out? I'll have to look at the email and if its messed up, I can try to send it to you again. Also, I just realized I forgot to take the ?'s out from the BFP's for MrsKitton and MNJ... I was going to double check the BFP date and put the ? there to remind me and then forgot to take it out... oops. 

Anyway, glad you got everything and if we need to fix the format, I can hopefully help you figure that out! BTW, good luck with getting ex outta your life for good and for becoming a caretaker for your niece and nephews. You know I'm keeping you in my thoughts and don't hesitate to message me if you need someone to talk to. ((hugs)) I know you are going through a lot right now and I appreciate so very much you taking over the check in for me on top of it all. 

Update: Still TTC on our own. I did make 2 appts with my clinic. One with the counselor (31st of July) and one with my RE (2nd of Aug). I'm really looking forward to both as I need to get my emotions sorted out and I'm interested to get some questions answered and get a plan in place for next year.

QOTW: I like a lot and can never remember them all by heart.

I like the one about "when you get to the end of your rope, make a knot and hold on." I also like "shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll still land among the stars." Also one that I'm trying to work on, "be slow to judge and quick to forgive."

Didn't edit formatting at all. Just copied/pasted it from the email. I probably should have paid more attention to it before I posted it. I won't hesitate to message you if I need to talk.

Edit: Fixed formatting. No need to worry about it Zook.

Sarah_e (((HUGE HUGS))) -- I am sorry you are going through such a rough patch right now.

My period showed, on her own, WITHOUT meds, for the first time in over 2 years. She just so happened to show on 4th of July (bummer!) but I am so happy I had a somewhat normal cycle. With her arrival, I scheduled my second HSG. I go this Wednesday. I am a nervous wreck that it is going to be more painful than my first, and I am also nervous that something will be wrong with the right tube and that I will need surgery prior to our IVF cycle.

QOTW: I have a ton...

Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. -Cadet Maxim

Never deprive someone of hope -- it may be all they have. -Unknown

Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier.

The minute you think of giving up... Think of the reason why you held on so long.

Anyone can give up, its the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. -Unknown

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. -William Arthur Ward

When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time." -Unknown

When you get to the end of your rope.. Tie a knot and hang on.

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. -Unknown

I'm currently 11 dpo and have not poas yet. I think I will tomorrow. I'm so nervous to get a BFN though. We've decided to do one more IUI next cycle before looking in to IVF.

DH goes in tomorrow to hopefully start on a treatment plan for the MFI!

QOTW: Right now, it's probably from an Eli Young Band song: "Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart."

I will be having my medication teaching this month and possibly start BCP next month and injections starting in September. As for now we are trying natrually

I am on day 5 of Femara for (potentially) IUI#3.  Unfortunately I have a work trip scheduled tomorrow through Thursday which may interfere with the actual IUI.  I'm going into the RE tomorrow at CD10 to have my monitoring u/s before I leave on my trip and depending on how things look tomorrow, I will trigger while I'm on my trip and do the IUI on Friday when I'm back.  We'll see how it goes.  Meanwhile DH and I are just going to have as much sex as possible... Wednesday is the only full day I'm gone so maybe we can still have a chance even if the IUI doesn't work out.

2. TTC since 8/2010, we're almost at 2 years now

3. PCOS, anovulatory

4. I'm in my first clomid cycle, and I'm not sure if I O'd or not, so I might be in the 2ww but I don't know for sure. Please don't give me feedback on this, I know my RE is wrong not to monitor me, and I really don't have the energy to hear about it again.

QOTW: I don't really have a favorite quote.

Hi all!  I had my Hysteroscopy at the beginning of June, and it went well.  We're on to our first IUI this cycle, and I am excited!

I did Femara CD 3-7, and tomorrow is my u/s to see if my follies are about ready for the IUI.  If they are, then I trigger, and IUI Wednesday!  I'm excited and nervous!

*hugs to all who need them*

QOTW: My favorite quote is from The Princess Bride.  "Life is pain, highness.  Anyone who says differently is selling something."
