**~**TTC Again Check In**~**

Hello Ladies! This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently TTC again, either on their own, or via injectibles, IUI, IVF, adoption, etc.
TTC again, even after successfully bringing home a LO (or multiple LOs) is a stressful process for all of us, and this group is meant to allow us the opportunity to provide support and suggestions to one another, and to receive the same in return.
A check-in will be posted every Wednesday. Please send me a PM or reply to the check-in post if you would like to be added to the group. The more the merrier! Let's get this board going again.
Each check-in will provide the opportunity for you to provide an update as to where you currently are in your TTC journey following SAIF and a response to the QOTW.

Re: **~**TTC Again Check In**~**
QOTW best gift received was M walking!!! Best gift given was a radio flyer trike for DS.
Best gift received iPad
Best gift for LO baby stroller and mega blocks
Update - Had my last appointment with RE and had my first OB appointment both on Wednesday! Finally done with all hormone supplements so I'm thrilled about that! Baby was squirming and waving his/her little arms and legs all over the place. We had great appointments at both.
QOTW - Best gift received was a new purse. Best gift given was the cottage we gave DD. She loves it and watching her play in it is so fun!

Update: Beta #1 12dp5dt 366, progesterone 150 Beta #2 14dp5dt 866! Yay!!!! Our ultrasound is scheduled for January 14th, two days before my bday. We are anxious to see our little nugget
QOTW: Chloe got most of the gifts this year (and I guess it will be that way from now on!) I actually enjoyed playing with all of her toys
Update: Had my MFM appt this morning. Baby's hb was great and she used this awesome handheld u/s machine so I got to see the baby for a second on the screen while she looked for the heartbeat. She ordered a bunch of tests since I developed GD early and because of my history. Lots of bloodwork and an EKG for me and a fetal echo. My anatomy scan is scheduled for 1/24! I'm still thinking of doing the elective u/s at 16 weeks because 4 weeks feels like an eternity to wait!
QOTW: Best gift received: iPad.
Best gift given: DS loves the duplo lego set we got him. I didn't expect that but that's the first toy he goes for now!

That's awesome!

TTC #3
FET #1 6/21/18
Update: We are still TTC on our own but I did schedule an appointment at CCRM in Denver, the first available was March 25th! I hate to leave my RE but have better option's this route.
QOTW: I bought my hubbie a ticket to go to see The Hobbit, he has been talking about it for months, doesn't seem like much but we don't have a babysitter yet so you take what you can get & he LOVED it
DH got me a gift card for itune's, I have this annoying habbit of returning what he buy's me & getting clothes etc. for the babies, this way I was forced to get myself some itune's, it's been great 
Last Friday was Beta #3, which was 3328, and the first ultrasound, which showed 1 beautiful gestational and yolk sac. Today was my second ultrasound, at exactly 6 weeks, and we were able to see a heartbeat of 100 bpm. The RE was very pleased.
I get to stop my baby aspirin now, and reduce my estradiol from twice to once a day. I still get to do PIO for at least two more weeks, until my next, and final RE appt., but it's a price I'm more than willing to pay!

Update: still hanging out on BCPs awaiting our IVF cycle.
Hope everyone has a great NYE!!
QOTW : I got a Keurig. I can't wait to try it.
Update: Nothing new to report :-)
QOTW: I was very fortunate this year. DH and my parents went in on a DSLR camera for me. I am so excited! My mom also had a beautiful kimono maternity robe made for me from ETSY and I am so in love with it. DS can't get enough of his new tool box/work bench and I was really happy with the framed prints we gave my parents from his holiday photo session.

Hey there! At my suppression check they found a cyst. My E2 was very high so I'm on lupron for another seven days and will check to see if it's shrunk. I'm praying that it does. I don't want to start the process all over again in six weeks.
I think I did a terrible job with the gifts this year. I bought a lot of needs, and not a lot of wants, so there were not very many surprises. I'm going to strive to do better with that next year! My husband and I bought a beautiful buffet for the dining room rather than exchanging gift. Not a surprise, but my favorite gift nonetheless!
