I've started my first attempt since our MC in Dec. My new treatment with the RI is underway. Lovenox, a slew of pills, Clomid, and later this week - the dreaded IVig. Tomorrow I go for a follie check. Then its BD time!
So I really am in full swing TTC mode.
Not sure if I'm ready for all this. But there's no turning back now.
Hi. I have only tried twice since our loss in October, but it's been more than 6 months so I am posting on both boards. Anyway I am on CD 18 and hope to O within the next week. My OB prescribed Provera to start this cycle and if no AF by CD 40 then I am to start Provera again. I go back to him in June and if my cycles are still whacked out (assuming they will be) then we start Clomid.
Oh and he told me to lose weight too. I'm down about 10 lbs., another 4 to go to get to my pre-loss weight. Not really thinking that will help, but at least I won't have to hear him b!tch about it when I go to see him in June.
As soon as I have one cycle we can try again but we are also referred to an RE. I'm going to find one and make an appt for that and then go from there.

I have my followup Thursday to talk about where to go from here. I don't know how long we're going to have to tta yet....but I think we'll go back to Clomid + IUI for a couple more cycles before looking to move further into treatments.

It has been almost 8 months since my loss and I am in my 3rd cycle TTCAL.... my second cycle on Clomid. I should O soon... which would be amazing... without the clomid I O around cd27...now its around cd 16.... Yay!!!

Officially TTC #1 for 13 months CD 4 of cycle 10 post-mc. RE says we're normal and "young" and should keep trying on our own for 6 months and then we'll think about doing clomid, IUI or whatever else.
I'm giving up on "thinking positively," "wishing as hard as I can," and "knowing that it will happen soon," and working on accepting that it may never happen and being ok with that. Then, if it does happen, I'll be happy. But I cannot take this disappointment/anger/jealousy every month...
I'm on cycle 18, cd 4. I just posted today that I don't really feel like this is going to happen and if it doesn't I'm likely done, I can't do clomid or fertility drugs, so we will just keep trying and hoping. Though some girls said IUI isn't as much as I'm thinking it is.
DD(9)DD(5.5)DS(3)DS(born 2/1/11) July 2006, lost a baby at 8 weeks, natural miscarriage , May 2009 lost Zoe Eliana at 17 weeks no reason known, possible under developed organs. Lost two more babies in September 2009 at 7 wks 4 days. Had myomectomy surgery to remove a large fibroid in November 2009.
Still waiting for AF. Today is day 21 post Provera. I'm trying one of Texas's home remidies, hopefully it will work. If it doesn't work either I will be calling my dr yet again, enough is enough already.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle! April 2011 CP @ 5 weeks
I'm waiting to O and hoping that the Vitex/B6/ProCream combo does the trick. I upped the Vitex this month.
I'm also uber-sad that this was my BFP cycle last year. I just can't fathom where the year went. The woman I look at in the mirror is nothing like the woman I remember looking at this time last year. I do not like the new me.

We're 6 months past the loss and getting ready to start trying. I was put on the pill during my hcg checks for the partial molar, so we weren't able to try. I wrapped up my blood draws at the beginning of May and finished bc then. I should have AF next week and once that's done, we'll officially be TTC. Gulp.

I'm on all-natural trying cycle. no meds, no iui. I'm thinking last month's meds screwed up my cycle as it did last round - so O is no where in site yet and temps all over the place.
whatev.

Today is one month until our EDD, & tomorrow will be six months since our loss. Feel like I'm still nursing a hangover from Saturday's CD1 binge. But I O'ed last month for the first time in forever, so hoping it's a positive sign...I've been trying to avoid the meds, but it may just not be possible...
GL to everyone else this cycle in whatever way you may need it!

I was suposed to be TTA this month but am in the 2ww. (I peed on a stick on tues am - only holding for an hour and it was neg.. may tourture myself again tomorrow with fmu).
DH is still not on board with trying again. We do agree if we do "try" it will be on our own (not PGD IVF) and the last time we try. We're seeing a counsellor and I guess not trying but not preventing.
4 losses (cp Feb 28 09, mc April 9 09 (5w5d), mc Aug 10 09 (7w1d), d&c Apr 12 10 (grew to 6w3d, mc confirmed at 8w5d).

I'm on CD 8 of cycle 14, which is my first RE cycle. I just took my 4th Clomid dose and aside from a couple of hot flashes, some mild nausea, and a really uncomfortable situation in my underwear (sorry for the tmi), I'm fine. I go in for my first follie check Friday morning and then we'll take it from there. The plan is to trigger with Ovridel & then 1 IUI.
I'm still waiting.... I graduated and we moved and are slowly settling in. Now I have to wait for ins to kick in at my new job... 3 friggin months! Grrrr.... it's always something!
But on a side note for the past 2 months I finally O'd!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!
After our third loss we did a RPL panel. Nothing really came back, but I started BA and my OB said to go again. I guess we are TTC again because we stopped using condoms last month, but I can't say we are 100% back to TTC.
We just made an offer on a house and we have our house for sale. We've been super busy keeping the house clean for showings and had been doing a lot of projects. Hopefully we will sell soon!
I think a combination of knowing there is a lot more work in our future and that I am scared sh*tless keeps us from going full board. The hope is back though. I really don't want a new big house that stays empty...

DH and I are TTCing this cycle after a long break of 'not not trying'. During the not not trying, we had excellent timing based on CM, and I am pretty bitter about it, and feeling negative about actually trying... But here we are again. Monday is the one year of my first EDD, as well as my second EDD so I will be wasted all day on memorial day.

I don't know what cycle this is, but it's been a year and two months. Throw in 3 miscarriages and you get...maybe 7 cycles? Not sure.
I get to actively try this coming up month. As soon as CD1 comes, I will start on Clomid, which will hopefully help the quality of the embryo I will produce...or something like that.

This is cycle 4 post loss, CD 18, and I just got my high reading on the CBEFM. I should o in the next week. I'm going to stalk DH like a jungle cat and pounce on him when he least expects it, so as not to startle him into hiding in the bushes and depriving me of his sperm.

I'm on CD31268493 and today is my last dose of progesterone to hopefully bring on AF.
Once AF is done, I have to do my final clomid dose (150mg) which is pointless because that stuff doesn't do anything for me

AF just ended today, and with our all clear from the karyotype, we are ready to try again this cycle.
I have an appointment with my RE on 6/1, and we should start u/s monitoring. As soon as I O, I will start my Lovenox injections.
All this makes me panicky and scared, but hopeful that just maybe...
