  Thanks Zook, for updating! Loving the BFP's this week

  Updates: DH's varicocele surgery was Thursday. It went well and the doc fixed 5 veins. DH is still in major recovery mode and we're hoping he feels better soon!

  QOTW: I love, love love our little village. I can run and feel safe, the houses are old and historic and it has the most awesome coffee shop! I wish that it had a place to get a drink or a nice dinner but there are enough places around us.

  Great job keeping up with this Zook!

  No updates for me really, Ob/gyn appt on Tuesday, making RE appt this week, and I think i'm pretty much healed from my appendectomy.

  QOTW: What is something you like about your city / town?  

  I haven't been here that long, I guess I like that its close to the city, but not in the city.

  Congrats to all the BFP's:)  H & H 9 months!!!

  Update:  I'm taking estradiol and wearing the alora patch in preparation for my FET. 

  QOTW: What is something you like about your city / town?  This is a tough one since I live in a small town and there is not much going on, but enjoy the "small" town feel and like not having to deal with traffic.  However, I can be in a couple of bigger cities within 20-30 to shop, dine and have some fun!

  QOTW: What is something you like about your city / town? This a tough one. I really dont like anything about this town. Except maybe that we have a JoAnns, and my favorite clothing store, Maurices. At least I have those. I can't wait for us to move again. Three more years! Haha.

  OMG, I just noticed you're from Pensacola! I LOVED living in pensacola! I'll trade you in a heartbeat
  What I miss about pensacola:: McGuires and the Mcguires running club, all the fantastic running events in and around pensacola --especially double bridge run and the half marathon,  My friends at Emerald city, the piano bar at seville quarter, the beach, the cute sailors from NAS, my internship at the gulfarium.. sigh. Ok done reminiscing. ((hugs!))

  See my RE this Wednesday...Finally!!!  I'll have an update after my appt.

  QOTW:  I live in a village outside of a town.  Can't say I love it and can't say I hate it.  I love the fact that it has a town feeling and a rural feeling.  Either way, we have to drive to do anything.  We are at least a 30-40 min drive from anywhere remotely exciting which isn't too bad.

  ~~I want to have another big group of ladies going to the BFP side of the check-in to finish out March!! And lets start April out right and have another wave of BFPs then too!! 
  

  Update: I had CD 10 b/w done on Saturday...I was supposed to hear something back but haven't yet so I'll be calling tomorrow if I don't have a voice mail by lunch.

  I have to believe the Femara is working though b/c I've been having twinges and pain in my lower abdomen so I'm assuming its little follies growing away down there!

  QOTW: I like that we are close to several larger cities. It makes it easy to travel (if we are flying) and to go into a city to do something fun. Our city is a college town and I love the atmosphere although traffic can get bad (especially during home football games).

  Whoo hooo! I finally have something positive for the Check in! I finally responded to the Clomid (200mg AND 250mg this cycle alone). I triggered on Friday- and am- for the first time EVER in the 2WW!!!! I always thought that people were silly getting all anxious during this wait- but now I get it! I don't know  how I am going to last a full two weeks!!!

  QOTW: I live in Cheyenne, WY. It is the home of the World's Largest Outdoor Rodeo. We volunteer for Cheyenne Frontier Days- and I LOVE IT!!! Pretty much our whole summers revolve around CFD activities. I am hoping that I will be KU during this year's show- and I won't even mind not being able to binge drink for 10 days straight!!!

  Hi ladies! A big thanks to Zook for doing an awesome job with keeping up with our 3T updates.

  This cycle was supposed to be my 1st injects cycle. However, after discovering that we've been TTC with a blocked tube and endometriosis in addition to DH's MFI, the RE decided to try another IUI cycle with Femara and a trigger. She feels confident now that the endo has been removed and my right tube is clear.

  She did say that if we do two more unsuccessful IUIs then it will be time to start discussing IVF. I am NOT happy about that. I'd rather do an injects cycle first, but she thinks I will hyper-respond to the meds for an IUI. Maybe she will consider allowing me to do one injects + IUI just to see how I respond to the injects before we have to move on to IVF. Or, better yet, maybe I'll get KU this time and we won't even have to worry about it. I do feel like we FINALLY have a shot at this. Our odds have definitely been increased. DH has been tobacco free for 4 months and I know in my heart of hearts that has to make a difference for us.

  I have my monitoring appointment on Thursday.

  QOTW: We live in the sticks but we are one hour from 3 different cities that are all great in different ways.

  Thanks Zook for the update!  I can't belive aside from the BFP's you actually take the time to update treatments & such on us! 

  Update:  Last pill of clomid was last night and my ovaries over the last few days have been hurting more and more.  Can't imagine the pain when Wednesday comes around for my u/s.  Since I O on my own usually around cd15 I assume I will be ready to trigger and get IUI on Thursday or Friday. 

  QOTD:  I am like Marla Singer, My DH & I work our towns festival every summer.  DH is the president this year & I'm in charge of the 10k & 5k run.  Our town is gorgeous with a river splitting it in half, tons of trees, but all the shopping & restaurants you can want.  Plus we are close to Chicago to have the "big city" nearby yet live in a place that still feels like a small town.  We grew up here and moved around but loved it so much to move back.

  Update:  We are TTC on our own this cycle and I am just waiting to O.  I am on CD 16 and still no + OPK yet.  Not entirely unusual for me, the first year I charted I O'd CD16-20, then for a few months it became more like CD 14-16, so maybe this is just a longer cycle for me. 

  QOTW:  I love my city!!!  It has an awesome sky line.  We have great museums and a great zoo, great theater too (not like NYC, of course) - there are always plays, musicals and the symphony.  3 rivers and some awesome sports teams!!  Love, love, love my city!!

  Zook, thank you for keeping this check-in up!  It can't be easy!

  Can you update my Dx?  I am now:  DOR, Endo, APA+, MTHFR and blocked tubes.  

  I don't really have any updates this week.  I am waiting for AF.  Hopefully she arrives by Wednesday at the very latest.  Otherwise, they may push me back to the cycle to start at the end of May.  I am hoping we don't get pushed back.

  QOTW:  I like that a lot of MH's family lives here.  But, I really wished mine did, too.  I also like that we get to watch the Cardinals play and the Blues play.  It is nice having some pro sports options locally.  There are also many other things you can do.  I grew up in a small town so I'm not used to all of the cultural and sporting events available.

  Hi ladies, unfortunately I'm checking in after a miscarriage. Zook - can you please take me off the BFP list?

  We went in for our first u/s on March 14th and saw the heartbeat, although it was only 101. We went back in on March 24th to see if it had increased, but instead there was no heartbeat at all. I had my D&C yesterday. We are devastated to say the least. We will TTA for one cycle and then be back to the RE for our first Clomid+IUI cycle.
  

  QOTW: What is something you like about your city / town?  I like how close we are to the mountains. Everyone here is pretty outdoorsy and into being active. It's great weather no matter the time of year. Even if we get snow, its melted and warm again within a couple of days.

  No real update. My RE is a jerk, so when he goes out of town I get no treatment and acts like it is not his problem at all. He doesn't even want to talk to me without an appointment, but he will only allow an appointment on cd1, when he is in town. Bah!

  I have lost 13 pounds though, so hopefully that combined with the low GI diet should lead to some kind of ovulatory success. 

   

  QOTW: I don't like all the critters that live in this town. We are being overrun by 4 different kinds of ants right now. And two lizzards moved into the house. They wait by the door in the morning and then they run in and climb on the curtain where they stay all day until nightfall when they run back out. So odd. Don't even get me started on the spiders.

  Update: Trying 1 IUI with Femara this cycle. If it does not work, we will be doing IVF in June/July. I am currently on CD5, and day #3 of Femara. IUI should be sometime next week.

   

  QOTW: What is something you like about your city / town?  We are close to some really good shopping, as well as the mountains and beach. And my family is close by!

  After 18 months TTC, our 2nd IUI brought us our BFP! Stick baby stick!

  Update: I'm waiting to see if I will O on my own this month (still on a treatment break).

  QOTW: I didn't really like living in my city at first, but it finally grew on me. Plus I met MH here, so it will always have special place in my heart. There are lots to do in terms of artsy stuff (plays, music venues, and museums), but it is smaller than a real large city, so I do like that.

  Hi ladies!  Congrats to all the BFPs!!!

  Update:  I'm on my 4th day of the 1st round of clomid so far not too many s/e.  I go in for an ultrasound next Sunday.

  Something I like about my town:  I'm in between two large cities that take about 30 mins to get to but I can still have the small town feel.

  I am in the 2ww from my IVF.  I go for my beta on the 7th.

  QOTW:  I love my commute to work, I go over a bridge that allows me to see a beautiful river with the ocean in the distance.  And this time of year I watch the sun rise as I crest the bridge.  Absolutely gorgeous!!

  I'm in the 2ww of IUI #1! Good luck to everyone else currently in the 2ww and those with upcoming treatments.

  QOTW: I always say that Austin is the best of both worlds for me. It's a fairly large city but feels like a small town because of the people and their values. I also love all the focus on being active and getting outside.

  Update: We got a BFN on our final injectable IUI cycle last week. We had an IVF consult on Friday and are now trying to decide if we want to do IVF or move on to adoption.

  QOTW: Our town has lots of beautiful big, old trees. It's really lovely here spring-fall.

  Trying to grow our family with both fertility treatments and adoption since March 2009 

  IUIs#1-4 = BFN, IVF#1 = c/p, IVF#2 = OHSS, FET#1=BFP

  Update: IUI#3 was yesterday. Now I try to survive the 2WW.

  QOTW: What is something you like about your city / town?  

  I love the proximity to the mountains and the fact that we are surrounded by water. It's beautiful, and green year round (one of the benefits of all that rain). Summers are gorgeous, and more than make up for the miserable gray winters. It's home... I've lived here since I was 15, and it's the only place I can imagine living. Except Montana... I could live in Montana (but not Butte! Sorry you are stuck there AndieD!)

  
  TTC #1 since 2009 with unexplained infertility
  IUI#1-4 Jan.-Apr. 2011 = BFNs
  IVF#1 Aug. 2011 = c/p, FET #1 Nov. 2011 = c/p, FET #2 April 2012 = BFP!
