CashewsMommy · September 2011

1. How long have you been TTC/ TTCAL? We were TTC 16 months before we got pregnant with Aurora.... not 16 months in a row though. Because I didn't have a full time job, we decided to only TTC during August - November. Then in May 2009 we started trying hard core. Since Aurora was born, we've been TTCAL for 14 months. 2. Current plan or treatment? Right now it's clomid, trigger and TI. But this is the last cycle of this plan. After this we're going to take a med break, save some money, and then do femara, trigger and IUI. 3. What do you do for a career? I'm a substitute teacher really hoping to get my own classroom. 4. What is your favorite hobby/ activity? I like to crochet, scrapbook... although I haven't done much of that since I made my scrapbook for Aurora.

Will do. I'm irritated because it's taking FOREVER for the RE to order the labs. Not sure why. I wish he would just hurry up already and do it!!!

That sounds crazy! They're either doing it or not. How hard is it for them to type in to tests and print off/ fax an order?! I'm not jumping on you, I just feel bad that they're putting you in limbo!!

I really would like to know more about you (some TTCAL and some other)
1. How long have you been TTC/ TTCAL?
Since July '10, with a few BFPs mixed in for variety.
2. Current plan or treatment?
TTA until I am ready to have another m/c. When/if that ever happens, it will be prometrium, predinsone and BA for a while, with a chaser or Lovenox if anything materializes into a pregnancy. RE's nurse (not sure about RE himself) wants me to jump on the Clomid train, despite the fact that we know I ovulate, so I'm resisting that for as long as possible.
3. What do you do for a career?
I'm the director of a quasi-governmental nonprofit. It's not a cryptic as that makes it sound.
4. What is your favorite hobby/ activity?
We like to go to festivals and drink beer. lol Also, reading, hanging with my dogs, pretending to be a chef and a gardener, traveling. Being sarcastic.

cutebride73 · September 2011

1. How long have you been TTC/ TTCAL? TTC since July 2009. TTCAL since, well I had a c/p in February 2010; m/c in March 2010; c/p in November 2010 and a c/p in July 2011.

2. Current plan or treatment? We've tried a cycle of clomid (didn't respond); a cycle of injects (didn't work); 2 unmedicated IUI's (c/p from one) and 2 IVF's (c/p from one). So we may do IVF again, but need to figure out our finances. In the meantime we will most likely try a couple more IUI's. My RE is supportive of that. I am currently taking co-Q 10 to try to help with egg quality and DH is taking it and omega 3 to try to help with sperm quality.

3. What do you do for a career? I am a school counselor.

4. What is your favorite hobby/ activity? I like to go out to eat, drink wine, travel, cook and bake, hang out with friends/family, watch TV and read.

sgrobste · September 2011

1. My Dh and I have been TTC/TTCAL since March of 08, so that makes it about 3 1/2 years.

2. Currently we are going through IVF..we have 10 snow babies but my lining is an issue so we are trying natural FET's but it is not looking good.

3. I am a 4th grade teacher!

4. My favorite thing to do is go on vacation..especially Disney World or anywhere that is on the beach

jolieandscott · September 2011

1. How long have you been TTC/ TTCAL? TTC since Sept. 09, TTCAL since May '10. 3 early losses.

2. Current plan or treatment? I have APS and DOR. For APS I take BA and if I'm ever pg again I'll take Lovenox, too. My RE feels that my DOR is what led to my early losses, so in the next cycle or 2 we hope to proceed with IVF. That's the only way we can be sure the sperm is getting to a "good" egg. And even then there are no guarantees. I was supposed to start last cycle, but my ovaries were on vacation, plus I had a cyst. I'm going to acupuncture 2 x a week to try to have better results at the next sono. We'll see.

3. What do you do for a career? I'm a teacher.

4. What is your favorite hobby/ activity? I love to read, and I love to shop.

millejj1 · September 2011

I'll play!

1. How long have you been TTC/ TTCAL?

My first pregnancy was a surprise. I has a missed m/c in Feb 2010 and have been riding the TTA bench since, so lots o' cycles. It looks like we'll be back in the game in March though!

2. Current plan or treatment?

The current plan is to wait until March and then TTC until August. Because of my grad school and going abroad if I get KU later than August I'll be super pregnant in the field which is a no go. So until graduation, that's the compromise.

3. What do you do for a career?

I'm a biologist

4. What is your favorite hobby/ activity?

I love to travel whenever I get the chance.

Want a personalized experience?
