*****2IF WEEKLY UPDATE*****

jeannaqueena

Is anyone interested in taking over this update?  I love going back and reading all the updates, but I think it is time to pass this along.  Please let me know if you are interested.  

I hate how rough our board has had it recently, it?s time for some more BFPs ladies!!

Please forgive me if I missed anyone's update. We welcome every member (graduates, current, lurkers, newbies etc.) to post an update each week. This gives us all an idea of where you are in your cycle or how you're doing. This is such a great place to meet other women in similar circumstances to share experiences, cheer each other on, get info and offer support.

Huge Congrats to our BFP women; you give us all hope that this WILL work!

Egsquared:  BFP on 9dp3dt!  Beta 1: 223

Jeannaqueena: BFP on 6dp5dt, beta 1: 63, beta 2: 119

Please extend your thoughts and prayers to:

Nicolecoy: Beta was 1 then 50, but AF started and they are thinking it?s a CP.  We are so sorry, its not fair to finally get a BFP and then have it taken away.

Kristylynn: we are so sorry IVF#2 was a BFN

Laurid75: you are going through something most of us have never experienced; we hope this comes out with a positive result.  

Iloveshane: we are so sad for your loss, Josephine.

Jazzerbabe: hope your break cycle passes quickly, we are still thinking about you and your loss.

Bklyninri: so sorry your d&c had so many complications

What distraction do you use when you are waiting during this IF stuff?

Lauren79

I went Monday for an ultrasound.  My lining was still thick.  They check my E2 level and it was still at 81.  They want in lower.  I am on a 2-3 week break while waiting for my lining to thin out.  I was put on BCP pills for 2-3 weeks.  I haven't been on BCP pills 10 years!  I am sad and frustrated.  My due date for my first m/c is coming up and I was hoping to be pregnant by now with a sticky baby.  I have an HSG scheduled Monday.  Rescheduled from this past Monday since DD had a fever and we had no one to watch her.

QOTW: My current distraction is Zumba and biking.

Not much of an update.  I finally got off BCPs since we won't be going through with any treatment cycle any time soon. Trying on our own for a few months to see if we can improve the count to get in IUI range again.

QOTW: crafting, sewing, and running

ceebeetee

I posted an update in a post above.  

 QOTW: I run and workout, do some crafty stuff like sew and crochet, and find new ways to entertain my ds!  Our 6 month old puppy is also quite a distraction...

jeannaqueena

One week till our first u/s and I might let myself get excited after hearing good news there. I am 5 weeks 2 days....long way to go and I don't feel I am out of the woods yet, but I do know we are closer than we have gotten in almost a year. 

QOTW: I sew different things, used to blog regularly and wish I could get back into it. I try to keep my calendar full of things that I look forward too and don't commit to things I dread.

I made my "lurking"/intro post last week and am wanting to become more involved here as it really does help to chat with others who understand your struggles. 

We've been on meds since last Thursday and go in for another u/s and round of labs tomorrow morning to see if we are ready to proceed with the IUI.  During Monday's appointment I had 10 follies all together (7 on the left and 3 on the right)  The biggest was at 11, followed by 9 so I'm hoping upon all hope that a few will be ready so we can move forward.  So over all the needles and nightly stabbings

QOTW: I've recently begun to blog, which has been therapeutic.  I'm also into genealogy and trying to enjoy our little girl while she's still little

 Update: RE's office called today (Friday) and we will be triggering this weekend and going in for our IUI on Monday!  Only 2 follies ready, so a little disappointed, but at least we don't have to worry about the dreaded reduction talk or ending up like crazy Kate Gosselin! Trying to not get too overly hopeful, but I know these next 2 weeks will be killer!

laurid75

I posted and update and then an update to the update! Roller coaster continues

kimberm0511

Nothing to update here.  Still waiting on AF! 

I would take over the updates, but I am too forgetful..and I am hoping I won't be here in another couple of months!

 QOTW:  I started working out again...I had a session with a personal trainer yesterday and he kicked my butt!  I'm hoping it will help improve my mood!  My boys have started soccer season and one will start baseball soon, so that is a huge distraction since we are constantly running to practices and games.  I am also trying to make an effort to work more.  I am a photographer and I haven't done much lately since it is "slow" season.  I'm working on updating my website and trying to figure out a way to get a little more business.  I've spent the past few weeks being sad, lazy and unproductive, so it's time to make a little more time for myself and my family!

Hi ladies. I'm also 5w2d today. Had three betas that looked good. We're having an early u/s tomorrow. I know it's too early to see a hb, but I'll be relieved to see a sac or two in the ute where they're supposed to be.

ammare

I triggered Tuesday and had my IUI yesterday. They did recommend coming back for a second IUI today, but we live 3 hours away and MH was only able to take the one day off of work. Hopefully that one IUI plus intercourse will be enough.

QOTW: I haven't figured out a way to keep myself occupied yet.  Even when I keep busy with stuff I find a way to obsess.

Update : on a break cycle due to DH travel.
QOTW : I don't have an answer. I am obsessed with ttc 2.

jazzerbabe28

I have my follow up from my D&C on Monday. I think I'm healing pretty quickly and feel back to normal. I am excited to try again after my short break. Thanks everyone for your support.

 

QOTW: honestly I changed my position at work recently so I stay very busy with my new role and it helps keep my mind off of IF.

Update- I am in the dreaded 2ww. I will try to hold out to the 20th to test.

 

Jen071407

I'm also hanging out in the 2ww - thought I was 2dpo, but had some ewcm (tmi!) today so now I'm second guessing my first positive opk and thinking the true positive was actually the one from the day after. We've got TI covered for all options, thankfully. Ah well, time will tell!

 

QOTW: Truthfully, I feel like up until today IF has been running my life/emotions/relationships with MH, daughters, everyone. I finally found some peace (no idea how) and have accepted that nothing I do or research or obsess over during the next 2 weeks will effect the outcome. So I am going to do my d*mnedest to focus on my children and H and accept that we will be happy as a family of 4 if that is how life takes us. We'll keep trying, but I don't want anymore bad days/weeks from a bfn.

Sorry for being nosy (I stick around to check up on my cycle buddies), but I was just wondering if your ticker is correct, that you have a 2.5 month old?  Definitely not judging, since we cycled again when DD was 5 months, just amazed at the thought of being ready to get started TTC pretty much immediately. 

Good luck with the 2WW!

tryingyetagain

I am also in the 2ww.  I had a progesterone test today, 7dpo, and the level was 24.  I had three mature follicles, so that seemed a little low to me, considering I should have three corpus luteum cysts making progesterone.  But the nurse said it was a good number, so I'm trying to relax.  I would love to have the patience to wait until 14dpo to POAS, but that will never happen, so I'm sure I'll be testing in a couple of days!

We have been really busy the past couple of months, and that really does help take my mind off of it all.  Other than that, I do the worst possible thing.... I google anything and everything related to my IF situation and ttc!

suzie711

My ET was yesterday (2/13).  All went as planned and we transferred 1 5 day blast (I wanted to transfer two, but DH is more terrified of twins than another negative cycle .. so 1 it was again).  My first beta is on Friday 2/22 ... I'm so nervous and just want to keep myself occupied until then!

 QOTW: Workout/yoga, hang out with DS and DH as much as I can with our crappy work schedules :-/

bklyninri

No real update for me.  Bleeding has gone down to spotting.  Follow up on Tuesday.  Now just trying to figure out if I am staying with my practice or moving on to a place closer and more convenient.

QOTW:  I try to do something nice for me (nails, etc) and also love to spend as much time as a family. 

rcnavywife

I am 8dpiui with our first injectables cycle and had my progesterone test yesyerday. My clinic doesn't call with those results though, which is fine with me. I'm on prog supps which I hate but know I need them. They just mess with my head, making me feel pregnant! My beta isn't until 2/23, but I doubt I'll make it until the end of the weekend to start POAS!

QOTD: Sewing and scrapbooking help for me. Also, it's a long weekend here and my IL's are coming so that will also be a good distraction.

efhoping2010

Update:  Made some progress with DH suddenly last night when all seemed lost the night before.  He said "Maybe I have to get to used the idea".  So if all continues to go forward I will start IVF/ICSI #3 with AF at the end of March no BCP this time and MDLF protocol.

It is exciting that there are so many u/s coming up

***I will take over the check-in if no one else wants to?  Let me know

 Ooops forgot QOTW:  Reading, cooking and baking, I am thinking of trying to write and publish a romance novel for something fun.
