Trouble TTC
Kinda Sorta 3T Weekly Check-In
I'm sorry this isn't in it's usual format, however, I'm dealing with a situation with a good friend of mine and won't have access to the check in information for a couple of days, so we're breaking out of the norm for this check in (since I want to know how you all are doing).
Those of you that requested to be added last week, you've been added. Those that would like to be added, please provide the following info:
1. Name
2. When you started TTC

QOTW: Favorite Summertime Food: Corn on the Cob and Favorite Summertime Drink: Iced Tea
Update: We were all set to finally start IUI #1 this cycle, but drama between my RE's office and my insurance company has us sitting out instead. I pretty much hate my RE's office and just want them to do their job! Hopefully it gets figured out in time for me to have my HSG this cycle so we don't have to sit out 2 cycles!
QOTW: My favorite summer time drink is frozen anything that contains alcohol.

IUI #2 was a BFN, we are on a break with a lap schedualed for August 14th.
QOTW: Margarita's and fried fish and hot dogs at the ballpark.

No new update on me. We are in limbo with my H's job, so we might have to put ttc on hold for a bit. I am extremely frustrated by this since this was job #8 in 4 years.
Favorite summer food is anything homegrown, tomatoes, corn, or green beans are my favorites! I love to wash it all down with a great big glass of sweet tea!
I hope they get you all taken care of soon so you don't miss many more cycles!
Update: Trigger shot Thursday (7/30), BD Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Now we wait until my beta 8/9, we'll see how we survive our first 2ww wait since I haven't had regular cycles since we started trying. I haven't had any side effects from the trigger shot, except some bloating one day, which is great, but also has me freaked out that it didn't work and that I didn't ovulate. Seeing that it is our first medicated cycle, we are keeping all our fingers and toes crossed, but are also being realistic and trying not to get our hopes up too much. My sister-in-law has a good friend that got pregnant their first cycle doing what we are doing, so of course she has her/our hopes up that the same thing will happen with us.
QQTW: Either Leinenkugal Summer Shandy or Magic Hat Elderbetty mmmmm

Update: Looks like IUI#2 is a bust. Waiting to see about financing for IVF. If it is a no go then we are looking at living child free.
QOTW: Steamed Crabs hands down! Nice Margarita would be my favorite summertime drink.
Update: IUI #1 is in a few hours. She said the earliest I should test is August 13th.
QOTW: Pasta salad and beer!
Update: My HCG finally dropped <5 and CD1 started this morning. That means we can officially start treatment again this month! I go on Weds for CD3 b/w and u/s and fingers crossed I will be another round of Clomid that night. IUI#2 should be a go.
Favorite summer food: I love anything will fresh berries in it. And while we were on a treatment break, it was nice to sit on the beach and enjoy a cold beer!
DH has officially been scheduled for a varicocelectomy in September. If there's not enough improvement for IUI 3 months post-surgery, he'll go on Clomid for his low T.
QOTW: Anything frozen with alcohol! And fresh melon.
Thanks. It has been a rough week. All I can do is cry.
Just not fair to not have coverage and not have the ridiculous amount of $ required and some people who shouldn't....well we all know how that is.
Good luck with your friend!
IUI #6 Saturday -it was painful. The nurse was awful. I was really crampy all day, but am fine now.
QOTW: Strawberries and smoothies!

No real update from me, just enjoying our break with DH. I did call my clinic last week to get my scripts for meds since a few of the meds I will be on are on backorder- figured I should get them ordered ASAP.
QOTW: Hots dogs and ice cold beer!
8 IUIs - 3 Cancelled cycles - 1 Ectopic Pregnancy with Left tube removal = A broken heart
IVF #1 : Fall 2012
15R - 13M - 13F w/ICSI - Transferred 2 day 5 blasts = BFP!!!
8 Frosties!
Beta #1: 135, Beta #2: 312, Beta #3: 996
10/21: Saw one beautiful flickering heartbeat! EDD: 6/12/13
?S/PAIFW?
CD1 will be today or tomorrow, then we'll be doing IUI#1 with clomid this cycle!
Favorite summertime drink is a mocha frappuccino, although I almost never drink them because they are so bad for you!
BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!
At CD3 and have my baseline appt for IUI#3 is on Wed. We're probably doing Femara again. I've really got my FX for this one. Our first IUI, we didn't BD at all... we just did the IUI. 2nd IUI I had a cyst so we couldn't do medication. Then last month I was out of town so we did medication and lots of BD but couldn't do the IUI. So hopefully this cycle we will be able to do meds, BD AND the IUI and all of that will make this 3rd time a charm!
ETA QOTW - corn on the cob... I live in Arizona so there isn't much differentiation between winter and summer though
Update: I am 14dpt and 13 or 14dpo for Clomid cycle #2. I got a BFN when I tested this morning and put a call in to the RE's office to see if I need to go ahead and stop the Estrace and progesterone suppositories. I am pretty sure there is no point in a beta since my temperature dropped two days ago. I am also considering getting a second opinion from another RE.
ETA: RE said to wait 3 more days and test again to be sure then stop the meds. I feel like it is futile since my temp is so low.
Favorite food/drink: In the summer I crave sweet tea. Plain and boring, but when I think of summer that is the first thing that comes to mind.

Update: Start Clomid this Friday for CD5-9. I will have an HSG next week and on Friday I will be seeing how I reacted to the medicine. AF decided to be extra late for me which was irritating knowing all the exciting things happening this month but we can finally get the ball rolling. Im so excited.

Update: I'm 5 dpo/dptrigger of what will probably be the longest 2WW of my life, as it was my first medicated cycle. I'm super thrilled with my chart right now, and I'll be even more thrilled if I get a LP longer than 10 days.
My favorite summertime food/drink is bbq'd hamburgers with ice cream for dessert. Oh man, I want that now!
Update: Still in the 2ww, 10dpiui...not really feeling any differently than normal just trying to keep busy and stay hopeful.
QOTW: Drink - Raspberry Lemonade, Food - pretty much everything grilled...asparagus, BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, sweet potatoes (totally a summertime food when placed on the grill!).

TTC #1 since October 2010 | Began Testing in January 2012
DH SA - low motility with 0% morph; varicocele (repaired); low T (on Clomid)
IVF w/ICSI (long Lupron w/ Repronex and Follistim) in September 2012
Update:
IUI#2 was yesterday. My lining was awesome, and there was only one follie this time, so I'm feeling pretty hopeful. Still feeling a little crampy today.
QOTW: Food--cucumber onion salad. Drink--mojitos.
No updates
QOTW: My favorite foods are pineapple and anything grilled. My new favorite summer drink is a blueberry vodka press...mmm
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
1. Name: Tara
2. When you started TTC: June 2011
3. Diagnosis: Well... my TTC journey started because I had an MS episode and my neurologist recommended I get pregnant before getting on treatment for the MS. DH and I were just about ready to start trying anyway so things just got pushed to the forefront of our plan.
Since then, I've seen an RE who found a uterine polyp, TSH and lowish AMH.
4. Treatments: Uterine Polyp removal 8/12, on Synthroid since 7/12, upping the vitamin D, eating healthy and exercising. After the polyp removal, I will do an IUI with Femara and Menopur this fall.
QOTW: What is your favorite summertime food/drink? Too many - LOL! But if I had to narrow it down, I would say Bell's Oberon and watermelon!
Update: Today is 11dpt. Beta on Friday. So impatient.
QOTW: Oberon!
Hey all. We are unfortunately moving on to IUI #2, and I'm pretty bummed about it.
And of course my friend with long irregular periods, who didn't want to "take the fun out of it" by charting, is KTFU. Just by having sex with her husband, in their bed. And it was all she could talk about when I saw her, on CD2. Ugh. It's not fair.
Update: I had my first monitoring appointment this morning, and I didn't respond to 50 mg of Clomid at all. I had 23 follies on the right and 17 on the left, nothing over 6 mm.
I'm starting 100 mg of Clomid tonight and hoping and praying that I respond.
TTC since June 2010.
DX hypothyroidism, pituitary hyperfunction, and PCOS.
On med/treatment break indefinitely. Not currently trying.
Lots of love to all of my Golden Girls!
The Vagtastic Voyage
I hate fertile people. GL on IUI #2!
Went in for monitoring yesterday. I did Femara CD 5- 9 and was supposed to start injects for a hybrid cycle yesterday. My lining was so thin the RE said it wasn't even measurable. Plus I am still spotting from AF on CD 12. I had one lead follie, but I forget how big it was. I'm going back Friday to see how things are moving along but we are not doing injects and not doing IUI #2 this cycle. I've never had such thin lining before. I was really bummed. Every cycle it seems like something new pops up. Sigh.
QOTW: Blue crabs and Bud Light Lime!
IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.
Update: Started Clomid 25 mg and Bravelle injections. CD12 u/s is on Tuesday to see how I responded, and we'll most likely do IUI#2 if things look good.
QOTW: Hot dogs at the ball park and a nice, cold beer!
