Re: ***2IF Weekly UPDATE***
Update: I am probably 8 or 9dpo. No signs whatsoever. I have been on a few break cycles. I have been MIA from here and just about everything as I think I needed to cope with the all of a sudden realization that this may not happen. Feeling better and ready to go back next cycle for a clomid/IUI cycle before we begin IVF.
QOTW: It bothers me so much when I feel like people/friends have a hard time telling me they are pregnant. I get that they are nervous of my reaction but obviously I am going to notice at some point. I haven't overreacted in front of anyone ever. If I am upset, I do it in private. But I just feel like they dance around telling me and then after that, I feel like they have a hard time hanging out for me. PLease don't feel bad for me...just be there and be my friend!
QOTW: I hate that friends just don't get it. I hate that I feel alone in this IF nightmare. I hate that even my husband cannot get it. So thankful for this board
Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
I have my first ultrasound 10.11.12. I have been freaking out a little, actually not a little, a LOT this week. I am terrified something bad is going to happen. I keep thinking "Is this for real" I just need Thursday to get here for reassurance. We have not told anyone and do not plan to until 12 weeks.
FFFC - I hate that just because I don't have a drink when DH's family is around they call me out and tell me I am pregnant. Since having DD, I rarely drink. Maybe a glass of wine here and there. No one gets that it's ok not to have a drink at a social gathering without anything being up. This has been going on for months and I am about to flip out.

Update: Took my first injection of Gonal-F last night. I'd forgotten how nerve-wracking that is!
QOTW: We haven't told anyone that we're TTC #2. DH's family didn't know about the IF treatments we had with DS and this time around I don't feel like sharing the details with my family (although they'll know we went through IF treatments once we get pregnant again).

TTC #2 ... Cycle 1-3: IUI = BFN | Cycle 4: IVF ... canceled but 3 snow babies
Cycle 5: FET .. BFP! | EDD - 3/15/2014
Hi, I'm new, but would love to join in.
I go to the RE today to get some labs and a culture done, and DH can get his labs and SA done. We plan to cycle (IVF) when AF returns in a few weeks.
QOTW: I'm really pissed at RE's office. I was supposed to be getting my saline sono today, and can't because they said my labs showed borderline positive chlamydia results. They think it's probably a false positive (damn well better, or DH is in trouble!), but the RE doesn't want to do the sono in case it is positive, so as not to introduce another possible infection.
I had the labs done last Wed., and supposedly they just got the results back yesterday, which means it's too late to test again during the sonogram window (today is CD 11 as it is). If they had gotten/checked the results sooner, I would have had time to get back in there to do the second test and hopefully get my sonogram today.
I get the RE's caution, but the last time I starting cycling for real (BCPs before the sono), I had a polyp, resulting in a D&C/hysteroscopy, which delayed my cycle. If it happens again, I can't cycle until next year, because I have to wait until next month to find out how everything looks. I'll be 40 in March, so every month we lose is huge!
IVF #1: 9/11: ER: 12R, 11M, 10F, No Frosties; 5dt: 2 blasts, 1 morula; DD born 6/3/12
IVF #2: 11/12-12/12: ER: 20R, 20M, 16F, 4 Frosties; 5dt: 3 blasts, DS born 8/9/13
QOTW : nothing is bugging me right now. I'm just sad wondering if we will ever have a second and trying not to lose hope.
Started cycle #24 this week. NUmmed, but excited that DH will be home around O time, so I hope for good timing.
On my BMB, I am getting seriously fed up with the long lost posters who return with a random drive-by BFP or have some random drive-by serious urgent question and need T&Ps b/c they thing they are miscarrying. These folks never return to update us and it makes me want to be mean. I'm not actually mean, but I sometimes want to be.
Love, luck, and prayers to my BFPB Dr. SnowflakeBride
I was waiting till after today's u/s to do my update. I have a 18, 17 and 16.7 follies and they want to trigger me tonight. I feel like this is early. Last month we triggered with 2 20s, an 18 and some 16s and BFN. So, I am not hopeful about this cycle, this also puts Ovulation on CD12 which is so early....
QOTW: I had a huge falling out with my old BF of 8 years, recently we sort of reconciled after a year of not speaking. I know I will be seeing her tonight and I invited all my new mommy group friends to go with me as back up. I just want to shove it in her face that I didn't spend the year pining after her. I might have bought a new pair of jeans just so I can look good too.

Update: Got my BFP on Thursday and will have my second beta drawn on Saturday. Our first u/s will be the week of Oct. 22nd, so we'll see how many are in there.
FFC: Nothing this week!
Update: in the 2WW. I'm around 6dpo. i always start AF early (between cd21-26) so should know by next weekend for sure, probably sooner. not very hopeful and when next cycle starts we are going forward with IUI.
QOTW: i hate the feelings i have when i am around strangers who are preggo or who have multiple kiddos all really close together, or someone with a newborn...its like a mix of jealousy, anger, frustration, scorn, i don't know what else. with friends i am able to be genuinely happy for them, but strangers i am silently cursing for some reason. i take DS to toddler story time at the library and i swear every other mom in there is either preggo or has a newborn, and it makes me want to punch someone!
BFP 1/21/13, blighted ovum m/c 2/12/13
Update: Start Lupron tonight!!! Finally this IVF cycle is underway.
QOTW: My two best friends (and the only people that know about us starting IVF) both told me not to stress when I talked to them this week or the IVF might not work either.
SERIOUSLY!!! I just came home from vacation to a massive leak and am going to have to rip out my kitchen and a large chunk of our finished basement plus I'm starting IVF and I'm not supposed to stress out.
They have been so supportive in the past and I just feel like since I told them we were moving on to IVF they have not been. They even asked me if we are sure we need IVF since we don't really know what the problem is??? Ummm yeah we do... I can't get pregnant on my own!!! Sorry but I don't know what I'd do without you ladies some days.

Update: Sadly no longer in 2ww but its CD6 now. Attempting another IUI next week if I don't ovulate early again.
QOTW: Sometimes I just want to feel sad or mad about not being able to get pregnant again without DH constantly reminding me of all the good things we have. His Pollyanna shtick is getting old!
TTC #2 since June 2011
Dx: low AMH, potentially blocked tube
April-May cycles 50mg Clomid: BFN
June-July cycles 50mg Clomid + Ovidrel + Progesterone: BFN
Aug cycle 7.5mg Letrozole + Ovidrel + Progesterone: BFN
Sept cycle 100mg Clomid + Follistim + Progesterone: BFN
Oct cycle Clomid + Follistim + Ovidrel + IUI: ?????
Update CD1 for IVF 2 start BCP on Sunday then Lupron in two weeks, baseline November 1 assuming DH goes through with the PESA. Doing long lupron even with low AMH, RE says since all other tests are ok he wants to go with what worked the first time. I trust him I think. Nervous and terrified and just got my calendar. DH says he does not think he can handle another miscarriage, here is to hoping we will not have to.
QOTW:Yes but too happy at the moment and do not want to ruin it.
UPDATE: Im 10dpiui and got a BFN this morning. Hoping to see a second tomorrow morning. Go in for blood test the 10th, but AF should be here early next week.
QOTW: DH has been gone A LOT. Away on business for 5 days, then hunting all weekend, then overtime all week and when he is home he's on his phone scrolling through something and goes to bed early. Im feeling really disconnected from him. And bc of the above and no relief from DS whatsoever, DS is on my LAST nerve and im not being the kind loving mother I know I need to be.
Update: in the 2ww after FET, beta is 10/9. Very nervous....
QOTW: Really annoyed that I have a meeting at work that I didn't schedule and can't get out of. Call about bw will probably be between 2 and 4 and they won't let that info on my cell phone so I might not know until Wed morning,
Hi Ladies!
It's been 11 days since my 1st IUI and I still have three more days to go before I go to my RE for bloodwork. Is that considered a beta? Anyway, I'm dying to take a test but I promised myself and my husband I would wait until I saw the doctor. It's killing me. I do feel like AF is going to show her ugly face any minute. I keep running to the bathroom thinking it's here. STAY AWAY!
What's been bugging me lately?
I hate the comment "It wasn't meant to be." What happened to just saying "I'm sorry for your loss" or "I'm sorry you're having a hard time with this." I regret ever saying anything to anyone!
QOTW: hate it when people say "oh just give it time, it will happen". Like two years isn't enough time!!
Update: BFN on Wednesday, BFN today, I'm 11DPO so I'm calling it. I stopped the crinone because it is crazy expensive and I'm hoping the sooner I stop it, the sooner AF will show up. I have a beta scheduled for Monday, maybe I can transition that apt into a CD2 monitoring apt? Wishful thinking. Will move on to IUI next cycle. Commence freak out about my low AMH.
QOTW: I don't see what the big deal is with Pirate Booty or Veggy Stix? I don't see how these are really any better for you than Cheetos? Just because it isn't coated in neon orange powder doesn't make it healthy.
Update: No real update here. Just seeing what happens while DH gets his health under control. If nothing happens "on it's own" by January we'll go see the RE.
QOTW: This isn't 2IF related at all but it's the only "confession" that comes to mind. When I'm watching a movie or television show I get WAY more emotional when an animal is injured or killed than when a human does. I always wonder if the animal did in fact get hurt...lol yeah, not a great confession. Meh.
Update: CD 12 and waiting for a positive OPK. Historically it will between now and CD15.
QOTW : I hate when people ask, "So, you just have one child?" We very well may only have one, so shut the hell up. Don't people realize it may not be our choice?
Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10
TTC #2 since Dec 2011
BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12
No real update here. Was supposed to see the RE on Wednesday to discuss a possible hsg but appt got r/s so I go in next Thursday.
Qotw: I am so annoyed that dh and I can't seem to get along lately. Obviously 2if is stressing us out, but geez...we can't make it a day without an argument! This isn't like us and I just want us to get along and get through this stuff.
still hanging around , sorry for not being active in board
