in Trouble TTC
The weekly check-in is a place for us to give updates about where we are in our cycles so that we can keep track of everyone and cheer them on. If you would like to be added, please respond here or send me a PM with the following information and I will add you to the list. Good luck everyone! I hope I get to add a ton of success stories very soon 
1) what is your name (if you want to share)
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one
4) what tests or treatments you are having done
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next
Well, I'm a bit of an idiot - I have the list for the check-in saved at home and I'm at work 
So I'll edit later this afternoon/evening to add it. Sorry about that! I condensed down what you all posted last week in the name of saving space so please let me know if I have anything wrong or if you want anything added. I'm also going to repost each Monday evening for the girls that aren't on during the day.
Post your updates here and let us know how everything is going.
Question of the week: What is your favorite book?
Edited to say if you responded last week, you don't need to answer all the questions again - just let us know where you currently are

Re: Weekly 3T Check-in - Edited
1) what is your name (if you want to share) Marielle
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC Moving onto my 17th month
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one PCOS
4) what tests or treatments you are having done All tests minus a lap. I've done 2 Clomid + TI cycles and so far 3 medicated IUI's all BFN
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next I'm not exactly sure yet. I think I'm going on to IUI #4. I'm getting AF now so I'll probably see the RE for next steps on Wednesday morning (CD3). Maybe she'll increase the Follistim dosage this time.
ETA: My favorite book is The Time Traveler's Wife
FET to TTC #2: 9/29/14 Beta on 10/8/14 = BFP!
DS #1 Born 1/3/11 after IVF #1
4 failed IUIs, including 1 CP
PCOS
TTC since 2008
My update is that we are taking a break this cycle for me to have my gall bladder removed (date unknown as of today, but should know soon). I'm hoping it will only have to be one cycle but who knows. We also need to evaluate our finances because we have to pay the federal govt some money for our taxes so we may not even be able to do another IUI for awhile since we are OOP. Hoepfully I will get this new job and my insurance will be better and it will cover the IUI's.
I cant really say I have one favorite book, but here are a few: Memoirs of a Geisha, the Twilight series, the Sookie Stackhouse series, and I'm about halfway through Outlander and I like it so far.
1) what is your name (if you want to share) Sail (sorry, I'm afraid of lurkers)
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC Too long, I don't like to think about it...over a year.
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one Not really clear. Some kind of ovulation issue, possible LPD.
4) what tests or treatments you are having done I'm on a forced break after 3 failed clomid/IUI/ovidrel cycles but I'm doing acu. I have had some issues with high blood pressure but my at home monitoring is showing that it is much lower than it is at the doctor's office.
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next I'm on CD3. I'm going to have one more unmedicated cycle and then hopefully will start an injectible IUI next cycle (if, of course, this cycle doesn't work).
1) what is your name (if you want to share) Lina (wow... thought you wouldn't guess huh?)
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC: almost 2 years (since April 2008)
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one: Unexplained IF (secondary)
4) what tests or treatments you are having done: HSG, clomid therapy, SA (two), and normal cycle monitoring (b/w, hormone levels, etc.)
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next: IUI #2 coming up. cd 3 u/s was great, will monitor on 2/25 again to determine next step, trigger, and/or IUI.
LO#1 - 19 cycles, 3 IUIs, 1 m/c, gonal-f, ganirelix, ovidrel, progesterone
Totally worth the wait!

I think I am on the list! I thought I responded!
Question of the week: What is your favorite book? "The Boy Called It" It's a dark true story. I am only into non-fiction.
Edit: cd3 u/s all clear onto more clomid with possibly IUI!
Update...I go in on Wednesday for my next round of thyroid b/w to see if my levels have actually stabilized on their own. Otherwise the endocrinologist will want me to have a nuclear thyroid scan.
Cycle 20 will be coming to an end within a week (or not?! fingers crossed, but not getting my hopes up...this cycle has been crazy with me having strep, then DH getting sick, and now I think he's given his cold to me...so my temps have been kind of irregular) and once my thyroid is figured out we can start back with the RE and our plan for IUI.
Favorite book? I don't think I can pick just one. I recently read My Sister's Keeper though and loved it.
DX: High FSH/DOR
It took 44 cycles, just over 3 years, 6 failed IUI's in MI, and 1 round of IVF at CCRM to get our BFP!
Beta #1 (9dp5dt) = 206, Beta #2 (11dp5dt) = 438
1st u/s @ 6w5d = 11/11/11 = ONE little bean! HB 120bpm!
?Our Baby Boy Born June 26th, 2012?
1) Autumn
2) Off BCP 9-07
3) MFI
4) everything..seriously.
5) Failed IVF in January. Taking Feb off. FET in March (hopefully!) using AH with one of the embryos. SHG #2 on Weds.
Favorite Book: "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner
EDIT: clearly, i didnt read the op closely. lol.
UPDATES: possibly considering sperm donor for IUI in the event that our FET does not work.
Really??? I wanted to read it so bad!!
Mrs.J- also afraid of lurkers.
We had our ET today, beta is 3/8!
Favorite book- I love anything Harry Potter. I also adored Gone with the Wind. So. Good.
Sail I am so happy to see that your BP has been better at home- that is just great news!!
Are you freakin serious?! Sh!t KD...i'm so sorry
I'm sorry Kdodge!
I'm so sorry.
That sucks ass.
Beta for my second IUI cycle was this morning. Pretty sure it is negative.
I don't really have a favorite book.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I'm so sorry.

Oh that SUCKS!! Sorry kdodge.
Thanks! It is still on the high side but it isn't the "holy shiiit that is REALLY high" that it is when the doctor takes it. I'm hoping for good news at my appointment in a week.
I'm SO happy for you and your ET.
1) what is your name (if you want to share) Omega
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC Since Dec 2008
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one DH has obstructive azoo
4) what tests or treatments you are having done everything. One IVF cycle which was a BFN
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next Last day of BCP was last night! I'm on Lupron for IVF #2.
Question of the week: What is your favorite book? She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
I really hope you are wrong.
I hope you get good news at your appointment too. Hopefully your break will be over soon.
Thank you! I am so happy to have a chance this time.
I'm sorry. I hope you get a nice surprise.
1) what is your name (if you want to share): Glow
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC: 1 year, 5 months 18 cycles?
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one: unexplained
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next: Had IUI on 2/11, p4 was 10 on 2/18 and was considered fine by RE, Test on 2/25 but have to started to heavy spot on Saturday. RE conintues to say this this is unconcerning even though it's very clotty. They say lots of women have spotting/heavy spotting after O before AF and they get KU. I dunno. I've asked them about Hysterscopy (sp?) next cycle if this one doesn't work out.
Favorite book: Probably White Oleander, but Twilights and HPs are obviously up there too.
Yea, Kdodge. So sorry. Really sucks.
Hello, hello
Today is CD 88. Still no sign of AF.
ETA: QOTW - My favorite book of all time is Gone With The Wind!!
A+S | Met 8/24/06 | Married 9/27/08
Started TTC 12/2008 | dx PCOS 5/2009

Sorry about the spotting, I really hope that this IUI works for you.
I am currently in week 2 of the 2ww. I am driving myself BSC with phantom symptoms and am just ready to get this week over with! If this cycle is a bust, we will be meeting with the RE next Tuesday for a new plan of action and DH will have his second SA.
QOTD: My favorite books are the Sookie Stackhouse Series. I have really enjoyed them all.
For this child I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
1 Samuel 1:27
DX PCOS
Success with #1 after Femara + Trigger + IUI
Not much to add, CD12 ultrasound looked promising, 9.5 on lining and 2 follies on the right (21 & 23), hoping to O in the next day or so.
Favorite book - The World According to Garp by John Irving.
Marielle, I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife now. I'm 100 pages in and finally feeling not so confused.
I hope everyone has a nice week.
I am in that horrible second week of the 2ww. Have horrible back pain which makes me figure AF is around the corner. I have temps holding high...but I dread that morning it drops, or the day I wipe red.
My favorite book...I never books more than once...just like movies...so I have favorite authors, not books
Still on BCP and waiting to start IVF March 12th. I'm having the mock transfer on 3/1 and then Orientation for meds teaching on 3/4.
I'm also having an unrelated surgery sometime during the first week of March for a rotator cuf tearf in my left shoulder. I was hoping to get it done this week but the dr was booked up.Waiting to hear back from the dr's office for a date and time. Fun times!!
QOTD- It's sooo hard to pick just one favorite book! Most recently I've read The Help by Kathryn Stockett that I loved!! And Shutter Island! Both were awesome books!
<a href="http://s941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/laurens1122-bfp/?action=view
I don't have one favorite book rigth now.
Kdodge - you got a cyst from Femara? Or was it the follie that never released? You know they should have a better diagnosis for you now. Sorry about all that.
L - sorry about the BFPN
TTC since 1/2008
Hi! I got a BFP today! I had a very very very faint line on two tests. My beta is tomorrow!
I can't pick one book. There are way many that I love!
1) what is your name (if you want to share) Mrs. Mo
2) how many cycles or months/years you have been TTC On cycle 14 now
3) what is your diagnosis if you have one DH wants to wait 2 more cycles before starting testing. I'm on meds. for a slow thyroid and had cervical cancer a few years back.
4) what tests or treatments you are having done N/A
5) where you are in your cycle/treatment plan and what's coming up next AF just left. Hopefully DH will agree to start testing sooner ( if we don't get a BFP this cycle) but other than that, it's just the waiting game.
ETA: QOTD: Fav book = Animal Farm

***and Kdodge, so sorry about the cyst.
::edited since RE called::
Update: LH surge test on 2/21 - u/s showed a nice follie on the right side. Lining looked good - it measured 9; estrodiol level was fine. Still haven't O'd yet, I had bloodwork to check my LH again today (still no +OPK at home).
**RE called and my LH is now at 15, so I am officially "surging".
Should be Oing soon!!! Have my follow-up / review test results - where-do-we-go-from-here appointment with the RE scheduled for 3/1.
::edit:: My all time favorite book is Pride and Prejudice. For a laugh-out-loud funny book - I love The Sweet Potato Queens series. Honestly, you will laugh out loud.
