Re: ***2IF Weekly Update***

  • We've been TTC #2 since December 2010.  We've had two miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy, no longer have a tube on my right side.  I've been on Letrozole since January 2013, including two failed IUIs. 

    Had CD11 ultrasound today which showed no follicles on my left side where I need them (three on the other side with no tube).  Cyst on the left side, not sure what that's all about.  IUI #3 cancelled.  Ugh.

    QOTW:  We are planning on a lot of pool/swimming this summer.  I am determined that my 7-year old needs to learn how to swim!  And ride a bike!  He has inherited a clutzy lack of gross motor skills from me, poor kid.  And we are going to Gulf Shores beach and Crested Butte, Colorado this summer too, which we are really excited about!

  • Hubs and I have been trying for #2 since October 2011. We took this past month off since hubby is off in southeast Asia finishing up his mba research project. ;(  It's been a good break from temping, testing, and obsessing. This past cycle I had my hormone levels re-tested. Everything came back normal and RE is optimistic about my IUI cycle coming up.

    AF should start mid-week, I'm hoping, and then starting Follistim. Nervous and excited at the same time. Not ready to leave my worry-free bubble, though! :)

     

    I have an enormous project: getting rid of TOYS. DD has a ton of stuff that needs to be weeded through and given a new home. It all ends up thrown across the floor and it drives me crazy. I hope to spend a ton of time outside by the pool or at the park this summer anyways. We also just moved in (well, 6 months ago, lol), so I'd like to finish unpacking boxes and finding more permanent homes for our stuff. :)

  • TTC #2 since June 2010.  Forced break due to DH developing epilepsy.  AF due this next week and finally ready to get back to TTC.  Hopefully, Clomid and IUI this next cycle.  Only going to try IUI for a few cycles, then we're going to decide whether to try IVF or be done.  Hoping for a BFP by end of summer.

     QOTW: No big plans.  Hoping to make a trip to Chicago sometime during the summer.  A few small town celebrations to go attend.  Maybe, have DD show a calf (baby cow) for the first time.  I am a farm girl and her grandparents still have dairy cows.

  • TTC #2 since July of 2011.  Tried clomid/IUI, letrozole/IUI, gonal f/IUI.  Did have one successful cycle on gonal/IUI only to m/c at 7 weeks.  About to begin IVF cycle.  Currently on bc and will start injects. on tuesday or wednesday this week.  Nervous and excited!

    QOTW:  We spend most of our summer at the beach.  With this past heat wave in NYC I wish we could go now! 

  • TTC since Sept 12. DH was diagnosed with .5 morphology last month. All my test have come back normal but I've been dealing with bacteria vaginosis for the last few months that won't clear up. I'm seeing my gyne again this week. DH started supplements, no alcohol and cut back on caffeine. We are trying to get my infection under control and DH a few months of supplements before starting IUIs.

    For our summer plans we are going to the zoo, pool local kiddie amusement park. Lots of extended famil events. DH and I have 2 long weekends planned for just the two of us 1st time since DH was born.

  • TTC #2 since August 2012. We just got back our PDG results and all 3 blast look amazing! Currently on BCP but will begin Estrace later in the week in prep for our FET cycle.

    QOTW: DS's 2nd birthday is later in the month, which is always a huge project. We're having it at local park with approximately 30 adults and 10 kids. Fingers crossed that it works out - last year we were going to do the same thing for his first birthday only for it to be in the middle of a heat wave and then he came down with roseola. I'm hoping for less drama this year!

    We started trying for #2 in May 2012. 

    I've been MIA for a couple months after my m/c in March, but I'm back! My RE said I could do an IUI with my first cycle after the d&c, but alas AF showed up while I was away on a business trip so we had to wait an extra cycle. Well, Sunday was CD1 and let the fun begin! We will be doing Clomid+IUI.

    We are preparing for DD's 2nd birthday party later this month, as well as several day trips planned with her. She loves being outside so we have lots of outdoor toys to keep her busy Big Smile

    After 3 failed Clomid+TI cycles, DD was conceived with IUI#1

    TTC #2

    Clomid 50 mg + IUI#1  = BFP, m/c and D&C at 7w1d

    Clomid 50mg + IUI#2 = BFN

    Clomid 100mg + IUI#3 = BFN

    Lupron + Follistim + IVF#1 = 11ER, 10M, 10F, ET of 1 expanded BBA 5-day blast, 2 Frosties. BFP! Beta 10/13 = 264! Beta 10/15 = 702! EDD 6/21/14

  • Hi all, we've been ttc number 3 since Oct 2011. First two pregnancies were conceived in 2 months, so we are in the lovely unexplained SIF boat. We've done 2 clomid with TI, 1 clomid with trigger and iui, and 1 letrozole with gonal F booster, trigger, and iui...all failed. Currently taking this cycle off due to traveling during O time. Had yet another wtf appt yesterday and RE is clearly baffled as to why I'm not getting pregnant. The plan is 3 more cycles of clomid, 15 units gonal F on cd9, trigger, and iui. If we aren't pregnant by then we have decided to stop medicated cycles and refocus our lives on the two beautiful children we know we are incredibly lucky to have. Having an end date has given me a lot of peace.
    Big plans this summer include as much cabin time as possible!

    Two DDs 10/08 and 08/10, no primary IF
    TTC #3 since 10/2011 - dx unexplained/weak ovulation
