Infertility Veterans

All Board Update/Intros!

Hi all!! There are many, many new faces around here (which sucks you have to be here) so I thought I'd stop in and say hi! 

For those that have no idea who I am or don't remember me, I've been a member of the old TTTC then IF then here. DH and I hit the official 5 year TTC mark a couple weeks ago. Pregnancy announcements have been insane in my personal life. I think I've had 4 in the last 2 weeks on top of about 10 other pregnancies. DH and I decided to take a cycling break (while still trying to get a surprise BFP) after our last IUI in April. When it comes to posting, I swtiched over to the nest pro-boards and when I came back over here most had already left for various fb groups.

We very well could have a big move coming up in the next month or so. DH has been offered a wonderful career opportunity in Ohio so if get all the details ironed out, he'll be accepting and moving In January! I'll stay behind in WI until we sell the house or until I just leave work screaming "I don't need this place." <- ok maybe not but that would be awesome. For those that also remember Ked - I got to finally meet her after 5 years of us meeting on the boards here. If we move, I get to have a built in BFF!

So that's where I'm at...we're starting to think about jumping back in the game after the first of the year and after we figure out where life is taking us.

Hugs to those that need them and GL to those in the midst of cycles.

  • Hi Rachael! The move sounds exciting, good luck to your DH. I live near ked and would love to have a chance to meet you in person too!

    My update: maybe doing IVF in Feb or March. We have been getting finances in order so by then we should be ready. Our last IUI was in July so I am anxious to get going!

    Oh that would be fantastic!! I loved the area so I hope all works out. It's these pesky last details that will make or break the deal. I hope time passes quickly and you begin IVF before you know it! GL!

    Thanks love! I miss you! I am so out of the FB group loop. I have no idea which ones exist and where people post. I only have myself to blame since I went on hiatus as things were changing over here though, lol.

  • Hey Rachael, congrats on YH's job offer! I hope it all comes together smoothly.

     We just did our first triggered TI cycle after many ivfs and medicated ones.  Today is 7dpo and bloodwork and ultrasound came back good.  For some crazy reason I am pretty hopeful.  I have no idea where this hope is coming from but for a least another week I'll be in a better mood.  If this doesn't work we are going to cycle one more time this year and then I think I'm done with my OE and possibly my own uterus too.

  • ::Waves:: I'm not here much these days but congrats to YH!

     

    We're in a holding pattern right now pending an appt with a new RE after IVF #1 got cancelled at baseline w/ the old RE. We discovered that DH has Hep C (blood transfusions when he was 6 during open heart surgery seem to be the culprit) and the old RE treated us like drug using scum, so it's sort of a blessing in disguise that the cycle was cancelled and we're going to a different RE. It's a long story but we're hopeful that the new RE will be a thousand times better.
