Trouble TTC

3T Check-In - On the go

Hi Everyone!

This week's check in is coming from a raft on the river, so we're once again breaking from the normal format. Next week should be back to normal.

If you'd like to be added, provide the following:
1. Name (if you want to share)
2. When did you start TTC?
3. Diagnosis
4. What treatments you've done

QOTW: Describe your dream house.

Me: 25
Dx PCOS (June 2006, re-confirmed March 2012), Anemia (May 2010-Still fighting to correct it), Fibromyalgia (May 2011)
Initial b/w - normal
HSG (March 2012) revealed right tube open and looking great. Left tube deformed with hydrosalpinx.
Lap (April 2012) Removal of left fallopian tube. Right tube open and viable, but "rather enlarged." NO evidence of endometriosis...Uterus looks beautiful and "very capable" of carrying a pregnancy!
October 2012 - Clomid 50mg + trigger + IUI = BFN
With all factors taken into account, RE is recommending IVF. Planning on moving forward with treatment as a single woman using DS by Summer 2013.
After 17 months of trying, Surprise BFP #1 2.15.2008 | EDD 8.7.2008 | Lost 2.16.2008

Re: 3T Check-In - On the go

  • This week's check in is coming from a raft on the river, so we're once again breaking from the normal format. Next week should be back to normal. Sounds fun!

    If you'd like to be added, provide the following:
    1. Name (if you want to share) Bee
    2. When did you start TTC? 8/2010...2 years ago
    3. Diagnosis: endo, left fallopian tube blockage, had surgery to remove left tube, endo, and scar tissue
    4. What treatments you've done: just started clomid, 50mg, and will be doing IUI next month if this month is not successful

    QOTW: Describe your dream house. I have my dream home, the only thing I would change is having the house I live in now, on the water with a huge yard

  • Loading the player...
  • We had our IVF consult this past week and should be starting in September. Our RE said everything will be said and done by Halloween. I am excited and anxious to get things moving! We have a meeting at the hospital where this will all happen on th 27th and than will have our concrete plan in place. Now I am just waiting for AF to start so I can start the BCP.

    QOTW: I am not too picky about what I want for a dream house, but I would love a window seat  in my bedroom, a wrap around porch and a home theater system in the basement. I actually am working on the home theater, so hopefully I can knock that off my list soon!

  • No updates here.

    QOTW: Dream house would be on a few acres of land overlooking a small lake/pond. 4-5 bedrooms with a master suite with his and hers closets. I would like two of the bedrooms to be connected by a jack and jill bathroom. I would like a wrap around porch.

    Also would like a guest cottage.

  • Hope you're having fun on that river! 

    No update here, starting to get tired of our break but since fall is near - I know January and getting back to treatment really isn't all that far off.  I'm at about the half way mark of our break and it's gone fast enough that I know time moves quickly.

     QOTW:  It'd be here in our town, less than 20 years old with newer open layout.  Big kitchen, walk in closets and big bath tub are really my main requests - which we have now in the townhouse...I just wish we had a house with a yard.  Oh, and built in bookshelves somewhere since we have waaaay too many books laying everywhere in the house and are currently too cheap to buy another bookshelf.

  • As far as I can tell, I'm not ovulating so no miracle baby for me.

    QOTW: Right now, any house would be a dream house for me. I'm just tired of apartments.

    Hi Everyone!

    This week's check in is coming from a raft on the river, so we're once again breaking from the normal format. Next week should be back to normal.

    If you'd like to be added, provide the following:
    1. Name (if you want to share)
    2. When did you start TTC? Fall 2007-December 2010 break for school resuming June 2012
    3. Diagnosis none as of now, HSG normal waiting on DH to do SA before seeing a RE
    4. What treatments you've done 3 clomid cycles

    QOTW: Describe your dream house.

    2 story with a basement for my husband's "man cave."  Master BR with private bath with whirlpool tub and double walk in closets and atleast 3 other bedrooms.  I also want an upstairs laundry room, large kitchen with pantry, 2 car garage, and a decent sized yard.

    Me 27 DH 29 Married since 2007, together since 2001
    Off BC since Febuary 2006 3 Clomid Cycles in 2008- symptomatic, US just showed a tilted uterus, otherwise normal, HSG normal.  DH has an ejaculatory duct obstruction and a congenital absence of the vas deferens.  This is common with cystic fibrosis carriers, but he doesn't have cystic fibrosis.

  • Rafting sounds like fun!
    We go in for our postop appt tomorrow and I am ready to get some answers and figure out a new plan! I really want to know if my RE was just trying to be nice because she knows we are OOP by sugesting trying Femara again, or if IVF is truly our only real option. On another note, it feels kinda crazy to think that we actually have a real shot at getting KU this cycle for the first time ever.
    As for my dream home, it's not all that elaborate. Open floor plan, master suite, kitchen with an island. DH and I actually found the floor plans we want if we can ever build our own house. Just a simple 3 bedroom farm house :
    Me: 37, DH: 35 :: TCC since 2/11 SA: Perfect! CD3  HSG = Blocked Right Tube
    April- Femara 2.5mg + Trigger + IUI = BFN   May- Femara 5mg = CX - No Response on Left = BFN
    June- Femara 7.5mg + Trigger + IUI = BFN  August- Lap & Hysteroscopy = Blocked & Partially Blocked Tubes
    September- Femara 5mg = CX - No Response on Left = BFN  October- 100mg Clomid + Trigger + TI = BFN
    IVF # 1: Stims 11/30 ER 12/12/12! (10R, 10M, 8F, 2T, 6 F) :: Beta #1- 176  c/p @ 4w4d
    FET #1 February 26th :: Lost 4 to Thaw, Transferred 2 = BFFN
    IVF # 2 Stims 5/10 ER 5/21 (15R, 13M, 13F, 2T, 7F- 6d3 & 1d5) :: Beta # 1- 15 c/p @ 4w
    FET #2 Cancelled, Right Tube Developed a Hydro  8/28 Hydro & Scar Tissue Removed  Cleared for FET
    FET #2.2 Scheduled for September 20th
    2 Thawed, 2 Transferred! Beta #1- 96, Beta #2 906! :: EDD June 10th
    2015- 2 failed FET. We are done
    SURPRISE! BFP 8/8/16   EDD 4/1/17

  • I'm 12dpiui #3 and got a BFN this morning so I'm pretty sure I'm out again this cycle :(  Once my period starts we're going to set up a WTF appt with my RE.  He had already mentioned adding injects to my Femara this next cycle to give me a chance of developing more mature follies but I also want to start talking about IVF.  I really didn't think I'd even make it to 4 IUIs and I just don't know if I can handle more than that.  That said, I really don't want to move to IVF either.  *sigh*  IF sucks :(

  • I had my first appointment with a new RE last week. She diagnosed me with PCOS. I started Letrozole on CD10 since my lining was thin and my ovaries weren't doing anything. I started my estrogen patch the day after my last pill. Tomorrow I got for my monitoring appointment and hopefully there are some follies. If so, we will do a trigger shot and I am going to see if we can do an IUI this week.

    QOTW: Describe your dream house. Two-story with a full basement. Brick exterior. 4 bedrooms and at least 3 baths. Huge kitchen. Sunroom, fomal dining room, nice back yard with a large patio. Really, I don't know what DH and I would do with all that space. Having my dream house = needing someone to clean my house.

  • Repeating what we did last cycle.  I went in for CD10 monitoring this morning, nothing big enough yet, so I go back Thursday on CD14.  I didn't trigger until CD16 last cylce and I started the Clomid CD4 instead of CD3 this cycle, so I was expecting that. 

     

    Me: 27 DH: 32
    TTC since 10/2011
    Off BCP 10/2011
    Cycle 1:110 days-Provera ended
    Cycle 2:57 days-natural AF
    Cycle 3:96 days-Provera ended to begin first treatment cycle
    7/12:SA-"Normal" Count:47 million Motility:75% Morph:3%
    7/12: Provera+50mg Clomid+Ovidrel+TI+Progesterone=BFN
    8/12:50mg Clomid+Ovidrel+TI+Progesterone=???

  • Did some b/w on Friday - RE confirmed I didn't ovulate last cycle.  Still no sign of AF so I am taking progesterone for the next 12 days to bring her on. 

    It kind of stinks that it is most likely my CD1 isn't for another 12+ days even though I am currently on CD39.  So I have a bit of waiting to do before we start IUI #1

     

    ETA: my dream house would be a historic Federal style (1800's) house with lots of historic details on a big plot of land.

    TTC #1** Went off BCP July 2011

    Me: 31 DH:31


    Jan 2012 Dx PCOS by OB/Gyn


    July 2012 - Tests with RE confirmed PCOS and annovulation

    2 rounds of clomid, 5 IUI's using clomid + injectibles. 

    Surprise BFP while on break cycle due to cysts.  It's a girl! Baby "E" born on Thanksgiving Day 11/28/13


  • IVF #2 was officially a c/p. Hooray for it not being ectopic! Beta was 9 as of this morning. It will hopefully be 0 next week and we can move onto a FET in October.

    QOTW: We are currently house shopping now and it would be so much easier if I knew what my dream house was like.

  • Hi I'm Kate. DH and I started not-not trying back around our anniversary late May/early June '11. We had a BFP Dec '11 but that unfortunately ended in m/c. We are dealing with MFI low count, borderline motility and morph, lowish Testosterone. We are in the 2WW for IUI 1 clomid CD 37. Testing in a week... fingers crossed! :)

    Our dream house we talk a lot about this lol would be somewhere secluded where we would have a big two story farmhouse with wrap around porches. We'd have dogs, horses, chickens, a kickass garden and lots of littles running around. For now though, we call suburbia home!


  • If you'd like to be added, provide the following:
    1. Name (if you want to share) - Diane & Alex
    2. When did you start TTC? October 2010
    3. Diagnosis; 1st month with RE; DH has his SA on Wednesday; meeting with RE next week to go over DX
    4. What treatments you've done; HSG, Synthroid for thyroid & Progesterone 200mg 2x

    QOTW: Describe your dream house. One story, ranch style, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, pool overlooking the lake, great room concept. Master bedroom facing the pool with french doors and a patio area. Front of house - lots of landscaping for privacy and a porch to place a swing. Not too much to ask for
