Re: TTC Again Check-in
I am trying to be patient and wait for Friday's beta, but it's soooooo far away!
Hoping for a great beta number!
QOTD: That's too hard! I have gotten so many awesome gifts! I don't have just one. but come friday a strong beta would be the best gift!

Update: I have my last u/s with RE tomorrow and then I am discharged!! I have a regular OB apt on Wednesday ( that is so weird). I have to admit I am still pretty nervous about tomorrow.
QOTD: Best gift would have to be when DH suprised me a with a 3 day trip to the bahamas for my 30th birthday a few years ago. As far as Christmas gifts probably my kindle??
TTC#2=July 2011: Surprise BFP: Chemical Pregnancy
Thanks!
It is strange because we are keeping it a secret IRL, so it doesn't feel real yet. I had my third beta today (strangely, a week after the last beta)... and I don't even know what to expect as far as a number goes. 2nd beta at 12dp5dt was 660, so what are we looking for? 5000?
My best gift of course, was a good beta on Mother's day for DS. Other than that, I would say....my ipad which was a gift for no reason!
Congrats Babbsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And PhillySue - so happy for you!
Update: I feel like I'm still in limbo. U/S tomorrow - we'll see how that goes.
QOTD: Besides Will? My camera - I love it!
Update: still trying to sort out progesterone (which i think will be key, considering I've been bleeding for 9 days and still counting at this point.
QOTD: oddly enough, i think in recent years, it has been the coffee cup warmer I got from my DH a few years ago..I love having my coffee stay toasty...goes to show that sometimes its the simple, useful things
I also love my mothers necklace!
Congrats to the recent BFP's!
Update: Still in 2ww of unmedicated cycle.
This will be long, sorry but I have to share b/c I'm so excited! I stated seeing a new acupuncturist who is AMAZING. I feel like after all of these years I have some sort of dx other then low AMH.
She ran some test on me and found that essentially my blood doesn't run through my body properly. I've always had really low blood pressure. Like docs ask me if I'm even alive. But I didn't think much of it. My hands & feet are always cold and I'm always cold in the fridged midwest winters we have (like 3 layers of clothes while sitting on couch under a blanket and still frozen). She said that enough blood isn't getting to my organs (specifically my ute) and therefore can't nourish a baby IF if/when I do get pregnant again. She then was like, you probably have really heavy AF's, clots and all, cramp a lot. Uh, yep!
She also said my liver and spleen are off a bit. So she's doing some agressive acu on me to get my blood flowing better, getting these 3 organs working properly and I'm doing some supplements as well. Fingers crossed this works!
DH of course thinks this is a bunch witchcraft and wizardy and I'll soon start sucking his blood while he's sleeping.
QOTD: Getting my BFP 14 days before my 29th b.day and then having my 1st u/s and seeing a heartbeat the day after my b.day.
Update: BFN at 11dpiui, but still waiting on AF (now 16dpiui). I can't bring myself to test again. : (
Next cycle will probably just be Clomid, no IUI. I would most likely need the IUI over New Year's weekend and I don't want to deal with the hassle of scheduling it. DH's counts were perfect this past month, so we can give it a try to old fashioned way. ; ) Plus, I believe my new insurance starting 1/1 will cover the cost of an IUI (we are now OOP for everything).
QOTD: The best gift I ever got was my wedding gift from DH. It's a bacon press.
He went back to the grill in the student union at our college (where we first met when we worked there together) and asked the cook (the same guy from nine years before!) if he could have an old burger press. It didn't have a handle, so he carved one out of a branch he found in our backyard. Then he engraved it himself. It says, "To [superned]: May all our days be bacon days, crispy and delicious!! 8/19/05."
TTC since 11/05...ectopic pg 4/08...early m/c 6/09...BFP 10/5/09!
Nora B...June 15, 2010...8lbs, 8oz...Med-free birth!
TTC #2 since 7/11...cycle #3 of Clomid + IUI = BFP
Malcolm...September 21, 2012...8lbs, 6oz...Another med-free birth!
May I join this check-in? We're not back to the RE quite yet, but we are still hopeful each month.
I got a sewing machine the year before I got married--I LOVED it and still do.
Update: My first beta is Weds. My HPT was positive though!!!
QOTD: I'm not sure what my favorite gift has been, my most useful gift was my sonicare toothbruth. Yes, I love brushing my teeth!
