If you are thinking about asking to join this group?please read:
This is an Advanced TTTC group those who have been trying 3+ years and/or have multiple failed IVFs, etc. I just ask that everyone please use good judgement when asking to join...in other words, if you are still in the IUI stage or have been on this journey less than two years, this is probably not the group for you.
There is no doubt that this whole TTTC process is painful, but I also do believe that there is a very special kind of support that this specific group can offer to each other, and it is intended as a "safe haven" for those of us who are in that bottom 1% of the bottom 1%.
Thank you!

Re: Advanced T-TTTC Check-In
So glad there are no new BFN's, but not happy that there aren't any new BFPs either
QOTD: A fellow SAIFer (and a friend IRL now) sent me some Facebook flair recently that really just hit home. "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have". I love that.
UPDATE: started Lupron last night...and will continue it for the next 13 days. Supression check on 2/25.
I've triggered last night for IUI #5, I have 2 mature follies this time, a 20.6 and an 18... IUI is tomorrow morning. Let's hope it works this time!!!
Good Luck to all!
QOTD: I don't really have words of wisdom or anything like that when I'm feeling down. I do however say that when you cry, it cleanses the soul.
I'm still waiting for the clear. Hopefully AF will be here next Wednesday and my SHG will be clear and we can get the go ahead for our cycle. Looking forward to having a little Turkey Baby!
Good question!
My DH and I have a phrase that we have used since before we got married - Occasionally, take a leap of faith. All of this that we have done is simply a leap of faith. It really characterizes our entire life together. So, we are leaping again....
QOTD - Its not words of wisdom but, I try and remember that life won't throw at me anything that I don't have the strength to handle. ?This doesn't always help in my worst moments, ?but I like to believe its true.
Thanks for the welcome. ?GL 2WWer's and I hope we'll be seeing some BFP's soon
Started BCPs on Tuesday for a March FET. Not too much else going on.
I really like that quote above about strength. It's so true and I find I never know what to say when people comment on how much strength it takes to get through this.
I don't have a particular quote, but I do have a song that I like to listen to. I'm not sure it makes me feel better, but it has a positive message. It's Heart of Life by John Mayer.
I don't really have any words of "wisdom" to live by. I just take each day as it comes and go from there.
been stimming since Friday and according to the u/s tech yesterday I had 5 follies yet she told my md I had 2. So I am a little concerned as to why she said 1 thing to me yet something totally different to the md.
QOTD: When I am feeling down I allow myself to feel that way. If I need to wallow on a Sunday afternoon and watch movies that I what I will do. Usually, after a few hours I can pull myself out of it. Sometimes it is just good to know that you don't always have to put on the happy face.
Update (sort of): DH and I met with a social worker that specializes in infertility this week to discuss DE and adoption. I called my RE this morning to set up a DE consult and we will meet with him in two loooong weeks. I am hoping we will be able to start things moving after that visit as I am sure it will take us a while to decide on an agency, find a donor, etc.
GL to the 2ww'ers!
QOTD: My DH and I always say PPT (power of positive thinking). I am a really pessimistic person to begin with and he is super optimistic about everything! So he will say PPT to get me on a more positive mindset.
Update: Nothing new to report, still waiting for our IVF consult on 2/17.
Hi guys. Good luck HoneyGram and Mrsmiller -- everything crossed!
No news from me, really. We hope we'll be able to schedule our homestudy soon. I've just been really paranoid about calling a social worker to get the ball rolling before our house is absolutely perfect, in case he/she wants to come the next day!
QOTD -- This is specific to those who plan to pursue another avenue to parenthood (adoption, DE, etc.) if TTC doesn't work out (and I'm certainly not preaching adoption to those for whom it's not a good fit). For me though, during the ups and downs of TTTC I always reminded myself that I would be a mother one day in one way or another. And that if that happened through adoption, I knew I would love that child so much that I couldn't imagine having any other child in his/her place, bio or not. Don't get me wrong -- I really wanted a bio child; otherwise I wouldn't have done 8 OOP IUIs and 4 OOP IVFs. But I have to believe that after I have my adopted child in my arms, some part of me will be grateful to IF for bringing that child into my life.
Glad to have a boring week, although would love to see some BFPs popping up soon!
QOTD - Where there is a will there is a way.
So many things seemed to get in our way of IVF starting with the great insurance let down from last year and H's 10% pay cut this year. But I did not crumble and I resourced everything I did have to make this all possible. I will do the same with DE if that is what this next IVF shows is the path we need to take.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

Good luck to everyone!
QOTD: I have no quote, but listening to Jack Johnson songs or watching Curious George with said Jack Johnson soundtrack always cheers me up, which is weird to admit publicly
I have been waiting for AF for a week now, no idea what's up or why I'm late (neg HPTs for sure). I should be toward the end of stimming by now dangit!
Hey ladies,
Update: I'm just waiting on AF. Took my last provera on Monday, so she should be around the corner. At that point I should be able to get my calendar and get started since I *think* the donor is on pills already. I'm hoping hoping hoping for a mid-March transfer, but half expecting there to be some sort of roadblock
QOTD: I agree that sometimes when I'm feeling crummy I just give into it. Some things I keep in mind though are that this (IF) can't last forever. It can't. We'll be parents some day, or we'll let go of trying. IF won't dominate my whole life forever, so I just need to get through this part of it.
A motto I like (and I think I'll change my siggie quote to it) is from a Minus 5 song: "Life doesn't really half suck, most of the time." It seems to balance the optimistic and cynical sides of me
Elizabeth
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
QOTD: do you have a motto/words of wisdom/advice
I often think that I am only given what I can handle. I am hoping for good news this cycle, because I don't know how much more I can handle.
If AF doesn't arrive by Monday I will be prescribed Provera to bring it on. I will then be starting BCP's.
Update: I have two follies, measuring 1.4 and 1.0 and my lining is 8.2. So far, so good. I might be triggering early next week.
QOTD: A wise nestie once told me to hang on to my zen (thanks jenber!) and since then, I've been clinging onto it.
Good luck to everyone in the 2ww!I got my IVF calendar today; started BC a few days ago and will start stims on March 13th. ?Terrified and exhilarated.
QOTD: My mom said to me, not too long ago, "Everything will be okay in the end. ?If it's not okay, then it's not the end." ?I hang onto that.
?
QOTD: "Failure is not falling down, its staying there" "Believe" and the song from Cinderella.
Should hear about a potential donor on Monday
FET #1 = BFP on 5/2011
Hi ladies,
Sorry, I am so late checking it. It has been a crazy week. I am onto another cycle. AF showed up on Friday. So come Tuesday, we will start another round of Clomid. It is so hard to be disappointed month after month. I know I am whining, but I also know you ladies understand.
Hopefully we will see lots of BFP really soon.
Good luck ladies!
