Trouble TTC
**3T Weekly Check-In**
This discussion has been closed.
Re: **3T Weekly Check-In**
I finished the clomid on tuesday and had a monitoring apptmt on Friday. There was a 13.5 follie so I have to go in again tomorrow for monitoring to hopefully get the go-ahead for trigger and IUI this week!
QOTW: my skin is very sensitive, so I don't play around with a lot of different products. I cleanse and mosturize morning and night. For daytime I use powder, concealer, mascara, and blush. Lately even my eyes have been sensitive to mascaras so I started using 100% pure brand made with fruit pigments and I love it!
I'd like to be added:
1) What is your name (if you want to share)? - Jessica
2) When did you start TTC (month/year)? - Oct/2010
3) What is your diagnosis, if you have one? - slight hypothyroidism & PCOS
4) What treatments have you done? - Synthroid 50mcg daily, 2 rounds of Clomid 50 mg (responded well but caused sparse CM and thinning of my lining)
QOTW: I wash my face twice a day with whatever face wash I have (I coupon, so I buy what is on sale). Occasionally, I'll do masks- but not very often.

Hey, I would like to be added.
DH and I started TTC August/2010. We are currently going through testing and I am on my 2nd cycle of Clomid+Metformin. So far, HSG was clear and U/S and bloodwork appear to be good minus the low Progesterone on CD21 (although, I am not totally confident in the test results as I do not believe they were done on the right days). I have irregular cycles and am underweight (have been my entire life). DH has slight MFI. We're praying that this Clomid cycle is the cycle but I'm not trying to let myself get too hopeful...last cycle was a complete crash...
My beauty regime is pretty minimal. I use Clinique facewash (which I am actually going to switch from b/c ever since stopping bcp, my face has been more acne prone...boooo!). I wear Clinique makeup and love it!
Have a great week everyone!!!!!
No update. I'm 12 dpiui and have my beta on Thursday (16dpiui). I don't have much hope after my bfn when I tested this morning, but crinone sure does give me tons of symptoms to play with my mind.
QOTW: I use Bliss face wash every morning in the shower and just water at night. For makeup it is Bare Minerals if anything.
IVF #1- BFN
IVF #2- BFP!!! Beautiful baby girl became an angel on 2/6/13 at 17.5 weeks due to PPROM/IC
**PAIF/SAIF welcome**
HSG coming up. SA is done, came back all normal. Will be going on meds next cycle, will know more soon..
QOTW: I always wash my face in the shower and at night. I use concealer, blush, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick.
No real updates, should be starting to get ready for FET #2 soon.
QOTW: I'll admit it, when it comes to most things in life - I go off brand and cheap. When it comes to makeup, hair products (and toilet paper!) I'm a snob. I use Stila and Estee Lauder almost exclusively for make up. Luckily, I rarely wear more than moisturizer, powder and mascara. For hair care products I use Deva or Matrix products. Deva conditioner is uh.maze.ing.
As far as cleansers, I just use Dove bar soap. Most facial cleansers make me break out into a rash and my face burn
No real update. Just cruising along on BCP until my hysteroscopy on 2/13.
QOTW: I used to use really cool products from Sephora but sice IF has drained my bank account I'm not using the freebies from Clinique bonus time. It's funny because I actually love it!
After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
No heartbeat at 10w6d
FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
It's a boy!

QOTW: Facewash in the shower everyday and sometimes moisturizer in the evening. I never go anywhere without make-up on
I am a Covergirl / Revlon make-up person.
Nothing really to report. I started up accupuncture again but besides that just waiting to get my stint out.
I use a brand called derma-e that is organic, paraben free, etc but formulated by dermatologists. It's awesome. I use their face wash, toner and day and night creams. I use bare minerals make up and mascara.

Hi, I'd like to be added.
1) What is your name (if you want to share)? - Tiffany
2) When did you start TTC (month/year)? - November 2009
3) What is your diagnosis, if you have one? - endo,fibroids and cysts.
4) What treatments have you done? - We have done two cycles of Clomid+Ovidrel+TI, and one cycle Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI, I also had a lap done in December. Currently waiting for AF to move on to IUI number two.
QOTW: I'm really bad about washing my face
, when I do wash it I use Clean and Clear. I SAH, so I usually only do make-up when I go out. When I do go out I just put on powder cover-up, eyeshadow, and eyeliner.
Still no update. It's day 23 now and still no signs of ovulation. I'm calling the office again in the morning.
QOTW: My mom bought me a ton of Clinique stuff and I never turn down a shopping spree. I have an exfoliator because certain areas of my face get super dry and peel. I also use a cream for my rosacea. I have to admit I very rarely wear the makeup she bought me.
No updates here. I have my follie check in about an hour and this will determine where we go from here. Good luck to everyone that needs it this week!
QOTW: I love everything MAC! I use maybelline eye liner and bare essentials mascara also.
TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771
CONGRATS Cutebride!!!!!!!!! How did i miss this?!?!?!?
Update: Finally on 2000mgs Met and losing weight....
QOTW: Every day Clinique yellow moisturizer and mineral powder foundation from avon. Maybe once a week an apricot scrub in the shower
Hi Ladies,
Looks like I'm late to the party. Oh well. We are on Cycle 2 with Femara, 5mg. Did not O on cycle 1, but AF came on her own after only 38 days. That is my shortest cycle since coming off BCP's.
QOTY: I have terrible acne around my chin and neck so I wash twice a day, and then use foundation, cover up on the red spots, and then just some mascara for work. For going out I will usually add some liquid eye liner to add some drama, and some red lip gloss.
Update: still just biding our time. I asked my RE if we could do some additional testing before our next FET, so I had blood work done last week. I'm exercising again, back to weekly acupuncture and started some herbs. Working to get myself in the right place mentally before we go again.
QOTW: What is your beauty regimen? What products do you use?
Skin care, I use Kiehls. Make up is pretty minimal: Bobbi Brown foundation and some cheap drug store mascara. That's about it.

April IVF Spring Chicks
Update: IVF #1 = big fat fail. WTF is tomorrow morning and I have a second opinion on Wednesday morning.
QOTW: I'm a Bare Minerals gal (if I wear makeup at all). That and mascara and Clinique's Black Honey Almost Lipstick. I pretty much only wear eyeshadow to weddings or fancy events! And my face has a lot of red undertones anyway so I don't wear blush.
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.
Hope is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - and sings the tune without the words - and never stops - at all - (Emily Dickinson)
I'm PCOS and have tried Clomid + TI (fail) as well as injectables + IUI (1st one was BFN). I'm on a break now thanks to a cyst caused by the Gonal-F but will do another IUI once the cyst is gone.
QOTW: Bobbi Brown foundation, Laura Mercier bronzer, and Clinique or Stila lip gloss in a natural shade. I've been getting my lashes tinted which is nice because I rarely have to wear mascara now!
Lynda, I must've missed your previous post but am so sorry to hear IVF #1 didn't work out. Sending T and P's and let us know how the WTF goes.
3 IUIs to get BFP w/baby #2
Lost baby #2 at nearly 12 weeks (D&C on 9/19/14)
We went for the first u/s today and found out it's twins! So exciting!
QOTW: I use Purpose facewash, Aveda Toner and Aveda Exfoliant. Kinda in between moisturizers right now.
QOTW: What is your beauty regimen? What products do you use?
I don't use much.... I like Clean and Clear. It's the only thing that keeps my sensitive skin from breaking out. I wash, use astringent, face cream by them.
Makeup: concealer, bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara. Nothing fancy and all different brands.
