btaylor19 · June 2011

My baseline is tomorrow!! *dances around the post*

QOTW - My husband is extremely involved. When we first started charting he had the link to my chart so he could stalk it as much as I do. He would ask every morning what my temp was, and what does it mean. When we started working with the RE he went into full on research mode. He knows all the treatment options available, and has questioned the RE a few times on why we aren't doing certain things. He is a motivated man.

mdiblasi10 · June 2011

Hi Mrs. Slick I am in the 2ww, about to start cycle 15. My update:

mdiblasi10:TTC #: 1, cycle 14, month 15, Current Dx or treatment: Unexplained IF. Plan for next cycle? Clomid + IUI chart

QOTW: My husband is very involved. He always has been. He went to the first RE appointment with me and asked lots of questions. He loves to be informed on all of our options. He keeps me sane because he is never worried and is always hopeful

bostonbluejay · June 2011

I was considering taking a temping break since we're TTA this cycle, but I do want to know if I end up ovulating and am afraid the one cycle I would decide not to temp would end up being all wonky. I am definitely passing on the OPK's this cycle though.

QOTW - My husband is pretty involved. He looks at my chart when I have it pulled up and says things like, "Hey, your temperature went up! That's good, right?" He is also really good about calming me down when I'm upset or reasoning with me when I'm considering POAS when I shouldn't. He's a keeper.

Kariannm23 · June 2011

Dh is pretty good with keeping up with the lingo and charting. He asks how my temps are and even reminds me to take my folic acid everyday. He is very over protective of me during my 2WW. Overall, I am vey pleased with how he has handled it this far.

TTC#2 - Cycle # 10 (charting 10 months - 6 cycles) - 14 months trying - Dx with PCOS in April/May- 7dpo progesterone bloodwork normal (8.44) - June/July #2 cycle with medication chart

bulldogmom4 · June 2011

QOTW: My DH has been getting more & more involved each cycle. He's been asking questions and learning about all the charting, etc. It's nice to have him involved.

punkymama · June 2011

No real update, just started the 2ww.

QOTW: DH is involved as much as he wants to be. I let him decide how much that is, he comes to 99% of all my RE appointments. He wanted to TTC before I was ready and he tries to be there as much as he can.

limpetfan · June 2011

Could you please update my info?

TTC # 1,Cycle # 13, months trying # 14, Current Dx or treatment: PCOS &
retroverted uterus. Plan for next cycle? IUI #2 with Clomid and Ovidrel
chart

My DH is very involved in TTC now that we're doing IUIs. He goes to every.single.appointment with me -- even when it's just post-ovulation blood work at 7am. He is awesome

Rvnsgrl81 · June 2011

Please update I am on cycle #10, 11 months trying. DH had his SA all normal! Thank you!

QOTD: My DH is moderately involved. Really depends where I am in my cycle, etc. Sometimes he asks a lot of questions others he doesn't. If I don't discuss it he doesn't mention anything about charting, OPK's etc. He did call his primary care dr. and got the referral and scheduled his SA all on his own. If we get to the point of the RE I am probably going to be going for everything alone since his boss really sucks and won't let him off to go to settlement on the new house (and he does mortgages) let alone my appointments. Guess it may be time to let him know my mom knows we are TTC so she can go with me if needed.

Edit: Forgot QOTD

MySweetBaboo · June 2011

I can be moved to the 2ww!

Updated Info:

MySweetBabooTTC #2,Cycle #23, months trying 23, Incomplete m/c 6.10, Possible LPD & Homonal Imbalance, DH's SA came back great, 3 Medicated Cycles: Clomid/ Estradiol/ Progesterone=BFN, but longer LP and NO SPOTTING!!!!! First RE Appt. 6/23. Hsg in July -IUI w/ injectibles/TI w/injectibles or acupuncture in August chart

QOTW: He is very involved. He wants to know everything and fertile week we plan in advanced so he knows he needs to be on call.

Cycle #20 Surprise

And no more TTA! Here goes our first cycle TTC post m/c! A little nervous!

michaela080 · June 2011

Hi ladies! I just had my HSG, you can see my detailed results on the post I just made. Mrs. Slick, can you please move me to waiting to O, and here is my update:

Michaela080: TTC#1, Cycle #10, BFP 3/26/22, ectopic twins found 4/18/11, MTX shot #1 4/18/11,
MTX shot #2 4/25/11. HCG at zero 6/3/11. HSG 6/29/11: left tube completely blocked (ectopic side), right tube fine, chances to have a normal pregnancy still good! We are back to TTCing.chart

QotW: DH is supportive of me charting and bumping, but he kinda stays out of that whole thing. He is open to me telling him when my window is, mainly because he has a lower sex drive due to anxiety meds, so we need to make the most of our opportunities.

[Deleted User] · June 2011

leathersmel4:

Cycle #20

And no more TTA! Here goes our first cycle TTC post m/c! A little nervous!

Yay, good luck!

QOTW: He understands the basics, and generally knows where I am in my cycle each month, and goes with me to dr. appts. when I ask. But I wouldn't say he's super-involved, sounds like he's a little less involved than some of you ladies. I suspect that might change after we start seeing doctors more, though.

Squishy622 · June 2011

Hey Slicker! Please move me to 2WW.

Btay GOOD LUCK with your baseline!!!!! Keep us posted!

QOTW: Mine is not as involved as I would like. It's complicated but he's of the mind that it'll happen when it's supposed to and doesn't feel the emotional ups and downs at all. We've had a lot of conversations about charting and he just doesn't think it's the be-all and end-all of maximizing chances for conception. I know that part of this is a guise designed to mitigate my anxiety, but I wish he'd be a little more sympathetic about it. If we ever move to treatments, I'm sure things would change at that point.

I'm sort of ashamed to admit all of this; I haven't really shared all of this with anyone. Luckily I pretty much have no other complaints about him and this in no way effects how amazing I think he is.

End novel.

ukcats27 · June 2011

Hi ladies! No update for me.

My husband is very involved. He is always asking me questions and researching after we meet with our RE. I'm very lucky that he cares so much to learn about everything.

melissa721 · June 2011

UPDATE MY INFO PLEASE! Here it is:

TTC # 1 Cycle # 8 (with 3-4 months off due to pregnancy and subsequent m/c) .. Months trying - 11 months since we started trying with a pregnancy and m/c in the middle .. Current Dx or treatment - none, no known issues right now .. Plan for next cycle? - This current cycle: more sex hopefully since MH being away from work has gotten in the way the last 2 cycles chart

QOTD: MH is moderately involved. He asks about my temps or if I tested but not overly involved. He is supportive when I get all emo though.

Mrs.Slick · June 2011

Ok, y'all are updated!

I also updated everyone else (moved to 2ww or waiting to O) if you have a chart.

Let me know if I need to make any changes. And GRADS, share your wonderful news with us! I keep finding y'all when I move people from 2ww to waiting to O. I love seeing our grads list grow every week!

psychgirl33 · June 2011

Sorry, I'm late to the party this week! Can I be updated? On to the 2ww of Cycle 9. Also, thank you for doing this, Mrs.Slick! That seems like a lot of work. Smile

QOTW: MH is not that involved. He is getting a little more involved as time goes on and it doesn't "just happen" like he expected. He's a lot like YH, Squish. He thinks it will happen when it is supposed to happen. Which can be hard when I'm super sad that it didn't and he's all zen-like about it. The last couple of cycles he's asked about my temp during the 2ww, though. And he likes to joke about me peeing on sticks...
