Re: *** TTC check-in ***
QOTW- I hope our next baby is as easy going as the three of us are. DH and I are pretty laid back, I think.
UPDATE- this cycle gets a big WTF from me. I'm still getting a high reading on my monitor, DH will NOT leave me alone, and I found some spotting this morning. ???? We had sex twice yesterday, and normally when I'm close to ovulating I can feel the follicle during sex, and I couldn't feel anything last night. So yeah, W.T.F. I have an appt in a few hours for a follicle scan to see what the hell is going on. I hope to GOD I haven't ovulated yet, but if I have it's likely our timing wasn't even close.
I attempted to take my temp this morning but I don't think that thermometer works right, as it gave me a SUPER low temp, even for preO. Again, not surprised this cycle is wacked out, just really disappointed.
Congrats SareBear!
QOTW: I hope it gets DH's humor and goodness and outgoingness. I hope it gets my logic and (relative) easy-goingness.
Update: Not much other than what I've been posting this week. AF seems more "normal" this time. Hoping for a "normal" cycle and to O on or just after 12/26. DH keeps asking me what I want for Christmas... what I really want is to get KU and not have to TTC in 2012. I'm ready to be pregnant.
Also, I think I'm really wanting to stay on track with acupuncture for at least a few more months. I'll probably just try to do once a week treatments to stretch it out a little more but I'll talk to my acupuncturist today and see what she thinks.
BFP 12.20.2010 :: missed m/c 1/2011 around 8 weeks
BFP @ 9dpo 5.24.2011 :: missed m/c 6/2011 around 7 weeks
positive for ANAs (1:40) with a speckled pattern
MTHFR c677t mutation (heterozygous)
*folic acid, baby asprin, Prometrium, acupuncture, Lovenox*
BFP @ 9dpo 2.1.2012 || HCG = 8 : Progesterone = 19.2
2nd HCG @ 11dpo = 40 || 3rd HCG @ 21dpo = over 5000!
Stick, little one, stick! EDD October 15, 2012
Thanks guys! And thanks for the push on the progesterone. I had it tested yesterday and it was 30.1, which my OB said was a good number. So I feel a lot less nervous, but I think sometimes reading on the board scares me. Sticky baby dust for me now!
And honestly, I think it was the acupuncture that did the trick. We had been trying for three cycles prior, I started acupuncture mid cycle during the fourth cycle, then it was this fifth that worked!
So AustinBride, I totally support you sticking with it! Good luck and lots of dust to you all!
Congrats Sarebear lots of sticky baby dust to you.
QOTW: I hope our kids get my hair color it makes me sad it's getting gray. I hope they get DH's confidence and patience.
Update: Good news I had a positive OPK Friday and ovulated so we had a shot at getting pregnant on our own before the FET. Bad news-- we were t-boned friday night and spent the weekend in the hospital so there was zero baby dancing and probably won't be for awhile
Can I get pain and suffering for missing my ovulation window? Seriously I almost screamed at the guy who hit us he made me miss another f-ing month of trying to get pregnant. I guess a 20 year old punk wouldn't understand.
Married October 28, 2006, TTC since March 2009 IUI #1-8 w/ clomid = BFN
IVF # 1 May, 2011 = BFP!!! Stillbirth at 26 weeks (placental failure/severe IUGR)
FET #1 February, 2012-- BFP! Beta #1=84 Beta #2= 207 Beta #3= 3,526
Our Rainbow Baby is on the Way!
UPDATE from eariler- looks like I didn't ovulate yet, so YAY! SO glad we didn't miss it. I have a 14mm follie going on and a couple 12s, so I should ovulate by this weekend, hopefully. I had some bloodwork done, just to be sure.
Oh and Austinbride- my acupuncturist has me going every 7-10 days now, so definitely talk to yours about backing down from 2-3 times a week.
UPDATE: I pretty much already said my update. Thanks for all the dust! I really want it to work out this cycle. I know we haven't been trying for years or anything yet, but I hope it doesn't have to get that far, and 7 months of trying is starting to feel like years. I would love to avoid getting on meds if I can because I'm pretty sure it won't be covered on my insurance. I still have until the 19th to talk the hubs into his SA that he doesn't want to do. So even more better if it just happens this cycle.
QOTW: I hope that our children are as laid back as the hubs, and understanding as I can be.
Update: In the 2ww now, so fingers crossed, but really I don't expect much. Two years of all this is definitely taking a toll on my optimism. Extra bummer that I'm trying not to think about is that day 28 falls on Christmas Eve. Oh well.
QOTW: I hope that our kids my laid back attitude instead of DH's well, lack there-of. I also hope they don't get my shyness, I think DH is a tad more outgoing.
QOTW: I hope our kids get my DH's business smarts and kind heart and my sense of humor and love of the arts.
Update: I'm in the 2ww. I just realized that I will be staying with the ILs when I plan to test, so that's going to be awful and will entail some majorly covert ops. I guess I could just try to wait for AF, but it's not likely that I will have the patience. CVS bathroom it is!
GL everyone!
I understand completely. Months of TTC feels like years to me.
TTC #1 since February 2011
BFP #1 1/14/12 EDD 9/24/12 m/c at 8w4d on 2/20/12
March 2012- Dx with PCOS, started metformin
July 2012- SA completely normal
Update: AF came today... the day before my birthday. Lovely. I'm not surprised because I don't think our timing was right this month and my cycle was wacky but still is disappointed. DH and I are going to try one more cycle and if nothing happens I am going to call the doctor in February. I hate even having to type that out.
QOTW: DH can laugh in any situation, no matter how bad it is, and I hope my kids can too. DH is also pretty confident and I hope our kids are too.

You can put me back on the TTC list. I'm waiting for AF to come back. I have an appointment with the new MD you all so politely recommended on Jan 25th. Otherwise I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs in waiting mode.
QOTW: I hope LO gets my stick-to-it-iveness.
And DH's creativity and ability to fix anything.
