Disclaimer: This is for a close group of girls who have been TTC together for a while now. We won't add you to the list if you a) lurk b) post once and SAY you lurk or c) post every now and again. This is for regular participants so we can keep tabs on each other. If you want to be added to the check-in please participate on a daily basis so that we can get to know you.

I need updated and EDDs for all the new BFPs.

heather_09_15_07 · February 2009

my update: hysteroscopy found a septate uterus. septum removed. all systems go for ttc. currently kicking myself for taking a charting break.

Nikki1007 · February 2009

Ok I don't know what happened there.

My update: Lap revealed Stage I endo and 2 blocked tubes. All fixed during Lap. RE is positive I will get KU on my own in the next 3 cycles, me not so sure. If these 3 cycles are a bust we move on to IUI with fertility drugs TBD.

easjer05 · February 2009

No big changes. I *think* I am at the tail end of my first period post-metho. It's hard to know for certain and I feel stupid saying that, but I spotted pretty consistently after. It got really light and I thought it was going away, then got darker and more red and then I had heavy bleeding this weekend. It is over 4 weeks post- shot, so it's certainly possible, though I didn't ovulate.

Doc gave us the go ahead to ttc after the first period, with the qualification that a fatty like me should lose 100 lbs and wait a year first. But since so many other people say 3 months, I'm leery of ttc again so quickly.

I talked both with a friend who is an OB and a friend who is a geneticist and specializes in developing cancer treatments and got no futher.

After a long series of conversations with DH, I decided that I am not comfortable trying again until at least 8 weeks post shot, and preferably more like 10 weeks. If this was in fact a period and things work as normal from there, that would put me out until April. If I don't ovulate until after 8 weeks post-shot (ie, end of March), then we'll go ahead and try. Still waiting to see whether or not this was truly a period and if I finally, finally, finally stop bleeding. I'm so effing tired of spotting and no sex and ruined underwear.

lenloe · February 2009

iui#1 50mg clomid - bfn

iui#2 100mg clomid, 150ml follistim. cancelled, over-stimmed. waiting for FP.

Mainer-in-Texas · February 2009

HSG this afternoon. If everything looks good, ultrasound on Saturday. If it looks like I am about to O, we will trigger on Sat. and do IUI #1 on either Sunday or Monday.

mb~zf · February 2009

Waiting for + opk for iui #2. I'm guessing it will be on Wednesday or Thursday. We're doing back-to-back again this month. I'm really hoping my cervix will be more cooperative this time.

Feeling really down about everything the last couple of days.

Stacy092306 · February 2009

My EDD is 10/19/09. I go in for my first u/s on Thursday.

QCinOct · February 2009

I have my lap with hysteroscopy on Thursday (Feb 26). My H has an appt with a urologist March 31.

shotzie · February 2009

Not much to report here. I'm currently in my 13th 2ww...blah. I have unexplained spotting during my LP and it started earlier this cycle than it has in previous cycles. We'll probably end up doing clomid and IUI in a couple months.

mb~zf · February 2009

Stacy-09/23/06:
My EDD is 10/19/09. I go in for my first u/s on Thursday.

Yay! Good luck.

yogisunam · February 2009

I am impatiently waiting for my March 12 RE consult and more agressive testing to determine reasons for my whacked out estrodial levels (high on cd3, way low on cd10). Crossing my fingers I don't O until Thursday at the earliest so I am around CD1 for the consult. I had a 23 day cycle last month, which worries me.

I am going to see a social worker tomorrow who specializes in IF issues, hopefully talking to someone will help me deal with everything better. It's been rough.

MrsO1111 · February 2009

Nearing the end of cycle 15. Woofreakinghoo.

I have no clue when I O'd other than the idea I got based on EWCM. If that is accurate, our timing was all right, and I'm expecting to start Friday or Saturday. I'm currently debating whether to test early or not. I think I'll go with however the spirit moves me on that at the end of the week.

I do not feel good about this cycle. I felt very different physically around this time when the Clomid had fixed the low progesterone the cycle I got KU. I have none of those feelings now, so I figure progesterone is low and I'm not KU. I could be wrong, but my hopes are not high.

HazelEyes730 · February 2009

Well IVF will be in April unless something else changes. so 04/09.

I started BCP yesterday and I will do my first injection 3/15.

Danse · February 2009

Thanks for doing this Nikki. I'm currently awaiting my second beta phone call.

Eas- I think your plan sounds rock solid - as much as it sucks_ass to wait, it's probably good to let the shot get out of your system.

Len, I'm sorry to hear about this cycle.

t.bird · February 2009

edd: 09/15/09

smilelari · February 2009

u/s is Thursday

babydontforget · February 2009

My progesterone has been retested and confirmed: I have low progesterone.

easjer05 · February 2009

All the success stories and tickers make me so happy!

Lenny - I'm still really bummed for you and this cycle.

YAY for u/s this week and more betas (Danse, I can't wait to hear what it is!).

JenniferL923 · February 2009

I think I O'd early based on CM...I'd guess I'm 2 dpo of Cycle 24.

I'm feeling really really bummed about things. I'm super happy that the success stories list is getting longer....but I'm not going anywhere. Everyone's moved on to treatments and successful treatments at that, and me....I'm just bummed b/c we can't do a damn thing until my tube is fixed...which insurance won't cover and its sort of an expensive procedure. I'm getting impatient.

Dr.Loretta · February 2009

Knocking boots with DH this week before my 2 weeks of travel hell in the hopes of catching the TTC window.

House sale closes on 3/17 (still), so we can pick an adoption agency in April.

DH informed work about our adoption plans, which is huge. He's a really private guy.

Serendipitie · February 2009

I'm in the midst of testing central. So far, so good

Chrysallys · February 2009

You can add boy for me. Thank you!

MarcyIam · February 2009

Hey there - just a quick update. My EDD = 10/12 rather than 10/21.

pmarie33 · February 2009

I don't even know what cycle I'm on anymore unless I go to FF. Stopped temping. Just observing cm from afar and taking my Met. I think I'm about to O. Woohoo! I suck.
