We welcome every member(graduates, current, lurkers, newbies etc.) to post an update each week. This gives us all an idea of where you are in your cycle or how you're doing. This is such a great place to meet other women in similar circumstances to share experiences, cheer each other on, get info and offer support.

Re: *2IF Weekly Update*
No updates from me .. still waiting for our first appointment with the RE.
QOTW: Swimming, although I'm not sure why since I don't know how to swim! It probably has something to do with the events being shown early on in the Olympics and early on during the primetime broadcast.
MPZ born June 2011
TTC #2 ... Cycle 1-3: IUI = BFN | Cycle 4: IVF ... canceled but 3 snow babies
Cycle 5: FET .. BFP! | EDD - 3/15/2014
Update - Just want to say I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I took an unplanned break this month and have been trying to reduce my stress about all this. I'm feeling pretty good. On CD 29, AF should be here probably tomorrow (while we are on a rafting trip, yay). I'm feeling ready to start again. I have a consult scheduled for September for a new RE and am really excited about it.
QOTW: I love women's gymnastics. I haven't been able to watch much though. It's all dvr'd and I have to find time to watch it.
Still no BFP or AF. Talked to my RE this morning and after reviewing the most recent chart I sent in he thinks I ovulated twice this month so we are going to wait things out a couple weeks for a BFP. He also said I may have a blockage. He is going to have me come in probably next week to do bloodwork and if it is confirmed that I am not pregnant then we will induce my period, do an HSG probably and start Clomid. Blockages were my main problem the last time around. He said if I did ovulate a second time (which I have been known to do in the past) then I would be around 8 or 9 dpo instead of 18dpo. We weren't monitoring this cycle with u/s because it's my first cycle of BC and we wanted to see how things went. It's all so frustrating. Still hoping that I did ovulate a second time and I am pregant and the twinge of blood I had was implantation bleeding but I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment.
QOTW: Gymnastics!!!!
Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
Update: I had my CD8 monitoring apt yesterday for my follisitim cycle. I had one at 17mm and the rest were <10mm. My E2 was 530. He had me trigger right away. TI last night and tonight. Then start crinone on Sunday. Beta scheduled for 8/15. 8/14 will be the 5th anniversary of my dad's death and I debating whether or not I want to test on that day.
QOTW: Ugh, I've never been a big fan of the Olympics. I thought the opening ceremonies were excruciating this year. I did watch a race last night with the female swimmer who broke the world record and won a B2B gold medal. I cried, but I'm easily weepy when it comes to sports.
No updates with me. Waiting on AF. I am on CD 21. Will start meds again once AF arrives....unless I get a BFP which is highly unlikely. I have no idea if I even ovulated this month.
QOTW: Gymnastics is my favorite.

My Chart
Update: cd 28 and 9dpo today, testing is not yet on my radar. I'm freaking scared to death.
QOTW: I love swimming and gymnastics. I like the women's gymnastics better than the men's; I'm amazed at how limber those girls are. I think Volleyball is boring, tennis blows, and Ping Pong is lame-o unless I'm playing it

Update: 2ww and trying to remain calm.
QOTW: I don't know if it's because this is one of the first olympics that I've had the opportunity to really watch or it's because I'm trying to distract myself but I love everything about the games this year. I've been glued to the TV!!!

Update: I had another u/s and b/w today and they're all growing. I have 14 follies ranging from 8-13 mm and others they couldn't see to measure. They anticipate a total of 24ish follies are in there and growing. The doctor upped my follistim by another 75 IUIs (he increased it by 150 two days ago) and increased my menopur to two vials. The nurse said he wanted to give them a "bump" but he was happy with the progress and that they are all growing together. She still anticipates the ER will be Wednesday or Thursdsay, so we'll see.
I'm off to the pharmacy to pick up more meds.
QOTD: Definitley mens swimming...love looking at them.
Not much to update, CD 25 - unmedicated. Away for a long weekend on the coast with lots of lobster and ice cream indulging going on with Vino to wash it down.
QOTW: Love Gymnastics and swimming, watching as I type!
I'm new "here" on the this board.
In the 2ww for #2. DS is 11. CD26/9dpo. I tested this morning BFN. I swear AF will be right on time. But our "timing" was good. Per FF. FX!
Update: CD 26. This was my first cycle after HSG and 1st cycle on letrozole. We also had a lot of well timed attempts. I was feeling positive. But i found out my vitamin D is super low which can impair fetility so now I dont know. In Gods hands.
Olympics: I love Gymnastics, swimming and diving. Makes me made all the people commenting on Gabbys hair.
No real update, DH is willing to start talking about cycling but still seems very reluctant to have another surgery for sperm. First AF just started since the D & C/miscarriage so I am going to go in on Monday for Day 3 labs and see what they say.
QOTW: I love most events but only watching the finals, I want to see who wins the medals
Update: 37 weeks and I have bronchitis
I really wish I felt better....if it wasn't for the cough, I think I'd feel just fine! I have been 2-3 cm dilated since 35 weeks (which is no suprise since I was the same with ds and stayed that way for 4 weeks!).
QOTD: Equestrian events
~after 34 cycles we finally got our 2nd little bundle of joy~
My IF blog
Update: I'm on cd 21, waiting for af this week. Went in for blood test Thursday to see if I o'd this cycle, but have not heard back about the results yet.
QOTW: I used to watch gymnastics as a girl, but haven't watched any of the events so far this year.
TTC #2 since 6/2010
10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy
A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013.
DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair.
Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies.
Wishing, hoping, waiting.
Update: Waiting on AF to arrive. 14dpo today and BFN. This is my first cycle on pregnitude and progesterone results showed I ovulated so I am happy with that. We are doing two more cycles of pregnitude before moving to Femara.
QOTW: Gymnastics and Swimming
No real update on me this week. Still kind of in limbo trying to decide if I want to go forward with ivf again. (I did ivf#1 while ttc#1)
QOTW-I love swimming! I'm sad that it's over. Growing up I was a competitive swimmer so I love watching it. It makes me miss it too.
Update - I finally got a + OPK this morning. I am so glad I convinced MH to come back upstairs to DTD last night before work. We will be DTD tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday night to be safe. I'm so glad that the Clomid worked this cycle!
QOTW: What is your favorite event(s) in the summer Olympics this year? Gymnastics and swimming. I'm bummed that I didn't get to watch much of it this year due to my work schedule.
