Trouble TTC
~*~IVF Check-in 1/5~*~
This is a place where all the ladies on 3T who are going through IVF can give updates and offer support to one another.
Please let me know if you would like to be added or if I have missed any updates.
I've added a new section for people who are in-between cycles, pursuing other options (new RE/second opinion, back to IUI's, etc.) or on a break. I hope this is okay!

Re: ~*~IVF Check-in 1/5~*~
Happy New Year ladies! I hope 2011 is the year for all the 3T ladies!
Update: I had my suppression check this morning. Everything looked great & so long as my E2 levels come back low I'll start stims on Friday. I can't believe it's happening. When we decided to do IVF 2 months ago it seemed so far away now in a matter of weeks we will know if it worked. It's so exciting and nerve-racking at the same time!
QOTW: I'm trying to be more positive in the new year. IF has made me very negative lately & I don't think it's doing me any good.
Hi ladies! I wanted to update all of you with what is going on with me. Since the BFN on IVF #1 I have taken sometime over the holidays to re-group and we met with our RE over the break as well. They think I responded too well to the meds and since I had to coast for 5 days so my E2 levels would come down that may have affected the quality of the eggs/embryos. So I am on BCPs now and they have switched me to the Antagonist protocol with Ganirelix this time around. I go in 1/14 for an U/S, take my last BCP on 1/17 and hope to start stims on 1/22. They will be reducing my dosage of Gonal-F from 225IUs to 75IUs this time as well. We are estimating ER/ET to be the week of 1/30.
QOTW: our new year's resolution is to take better care of our kitties including their coats and teeth. I am also starting small by resolving to workout 2x/week
IVF#3 brought us our miracle baby girl on June 26, 2012
Ya know, I never botherd to see just how many of those sucess stories happened on the 1st IVF attempt. It definitely gives me more hope !!!
Update: As of yesterday, 27 follies but none measurable. E2=108. I go back tomorrow to check the status again. My dosages stayed the same and I haven't started to "feel" like they are working yet. The only thing I have to show are the painful welts on my stomach that I am currently soothing with a few "Hot Hands" (don't want to bring an actual heating pad into work)
QOTW: My resolution is not to worry about stuff that are in the future. I am a total worry wort and have been known to work myself up into a panic over somthing that is weeks/months away and I have no control of.

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." --Thomas A. Edison
Mmmm, this year my resolution is to enjoy. To focus on today, on what I do have and like.Good luck to those on the 2ww!
TTC since 1/2008
Hey Ladies!
Happy New Year to all
I hope 2011 brings us all our long awaited BFP's!!
Update on me: I am on day 5 of Lupron and almost done with BC. It is going well so far. I feel alittle crampy but besides that I am good. Monday I have a suppression check and if all is good I will start stims Tuesday or Wednesday. I am SO excited to get this process going.
What are your New Year's resolutions? To eat better and be happy. Yes IF sucks but I let it get to me too much in 2010. I need to appreciate my amazing husband and family. A baby will come. I know it
::waves::
Well, I'm offically on the bandwagon. Started metformin a few weeks ago. Today I had my CD 2 BW. Borderdline high FSH and LH (confirms PCO, but I don't have the sydrome). I start BCP tonight and Lupron I start on the 21st.
QOTW: My resolution is that I want to be a nicer person and less judgemental. So far, honestly, not going super well. I'm having a tough time with a KU "friend".
Suebee, So glad you were able to regroup and you have a new plan. That's great that you can cycle right away! Good luck!
Mrs. Mo, Good luck at your u/s tomorrow hope those follies are growing nicely! Sorry to hear about your stomach hopefully you don't have too many days of stims left and your poor tummy can get a break!
Hi Flycka! I'm glad you're joining us, good luck!
Maddie, good luck at your suppression check on Monday! I hope all goes well and you'll be stimming by this time next week!
Glow, glad to have you join us (although I know no one wants to be here!) Good luck with your cycle. I probably should've had the same resolution as you. I'm super judgmental - especially of pregnant people who in my opinion have no business being pregnant. yeah, I should probably work on that...
Update: I had my 2nd beta yesterday on 13dp5dt and it was 139 and my p4 went up to 16.9. That put my doubling time at 48.89hrs and brought on some relief. I have another beta/p4 check on Jan. 10. I think if we make it to the 1st ultrasound and see how things are, I will then be able to relax a bit.
QOTW: I haven't even thought of any New Year's resolution with all this beta limbo!
QOTW: I won't make it an actual resolution, but my goal for the year is to really lose some weight. I'm really overweight and I know that it isn't helping me as far as TTC goes.
Update: I am now on birth control. Today was actually day 7 of BC.
QOTW: Not to focus so much on trying to conceive and enjoying all of the other wonderful things in life : )
Happy New Year Everyone!
Best of luck to everyone where ever they are in their cycles and I hope 2011 is a good one for all of us!
No new updates for me. Still hurting a little from the c/p but feeling stronger and more positive. Now I'm just waiting for AF to arrive so I can start BCPs and meet with RE to develop a new plan for IVF # 2.
QOTW: To exercise more and eat a little better. Also I'm going to try to change my outlook of the whole IF thing. I'm becoming a little too bitter for my liking.
Update: On day 5 of birth control. The week is going by pretty fast and I have a packed with with work next week so that should fly by too. Then I'll have a 4 day weekend and get a day of skiing in before I'm done with my last pill on the 21st. Still seems such a long ways away but I am liking how quickly things are moving:) I got approved insurance wise so everything is good to go on that end. Then mock transfer/shg (i think) is this Friday:)
QOTW: I didn't really make any resolutions but I'd like to lose at least some weight this month before starting stims and I'd like to enjoy things in the moment. Last year was so much living for the future... when to start meds, when to ovulate, when to have my beta (rinse and repeat). This year, while I'd hope I'll be pregnant by the middle of february, I'd still like to be better about living for the moment. As you can see from my update... not so good at that right now:P
Hi ladies. There is no update for me as we are still waiting on AF to start our cycle. She should be here around the 11th.
QOTW: I would like to focus on valuing (sp) my health.
After 4 years, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs our surprise miracle is here!

A little late coming in here - sorry!
Hugs for Dee1028 and Congratulations to lyse2143 & *S&S*!!!! Best of luck to those ladies currently in the middle of a cycle!!
Update: So, I'm not sure where I fit in the above catagories since I'm the only one doing a IVF/FET, but yesterday I started the pill & patch regiment. I never got AF, so 6 days after it was due I went in for blood work and my hormones showed I was at the beginning of a new cycle, therefore I could start the pills and patches for the FET. Strange AF didn't come, but at least I can finally start! I'll have one monitoring appt on 1/22 and the FET on 1/25.
QOTW: The obvious health related one - walk more and eat better. Also, contact old friends and make efforts to plan gtg's. I've really slacked in this department over the past year and pulled away from some friends and it's because of what I've been going through emotionally with IF. 2010 was a rough year for me and I'm happy to put it in the past!
