Secondary IF

I almost forgot! ****2IF Weekly Checkin****

Please provide a brief history, your dx, and your current cycle status.

Me- conceived DS after 4 years of MFI (maybe?)

Current cycle - 6th cycle - CD 19 and I don't know what the F is going on. I may have O'd? or will in the future??

QsOTW:

1.) What is your favorite holiday dish?

The pie! All pie!

2.) Anticipating any family drama?

I'm sure. I put my foot down this year and we are spending the majority of Turkey day at my mom's but, this will no doubt give DH's grandmother a real hair up her butt. The funny thing is my mother in law is actually understanding - just not the grandmother.

3.) Do you/ will you watch the parade?

I will probably turn it on for DS :)

4.)  Black Friday shopping?

Not this year but, I have in the past.

  • Hi Everyone: 
    DOR/Endo.  Just had tubes removed.  Waiting on AF to start FET Day 1. 
    DS a surprise long ago. 

    1.) What is your favorite holiday dish?
    Mashed Potatoes and stuffing WITH my grandmas chili over it, and cranberries from a can! 

    2.) Anticipating any family drama?
    Bah! How do you know? There is always someone announcing or doing something. But I doubt it.   

    3.) Do you/ will you watch the parade?
    No

    4.)  Black Friday shopping?
    Yes we are... because its fun. 



      


  • Me- conceived DD#1 after 3 cycles, DD#2 after 6 cycles but she was stillborn in March 2012. Have had 2 chemical pregnancies since May 2012.

    QsOTW:

    1. What is your favorite holiday dish?


    Stuffing and sweet potato casserole. I also like canned cranberry sauce!

    2. Anticipating any family drama?


    No, not unless I get a bit tipsy and say something about how BIL is getting married on my anniversary. It could happen.

    3. Do you/ will you watch the parade?

    I usually do but DH is running a race tomorrow and has convinced DD to run the kids race, so I will be there supporting them!

    4. Black Friday shopping?

    Nope. I will be at our family vacation house in the boonies! Closest store will be at least an hour and half away!

    Me: DD #1 is 16. DD #2 is 13. Both natural conception. DIdn't realize how lucky I was really. My current husband is not their father. I'll not share the "blending" issues for a 40 year old bachelor who is suddenly a step-father to two teenage girls. We have male factor, the assumption is I should be ok. But I am 36 and a little heavier than I should be. 

    Current cycle -  We have been TTC for 21 cycles now. I am on CD 22 but I'm suppressed, so it's not a real CD *sigh* We are in our 1st IVF cycle and will be starting Stims this Friday!!! Go Go Eggies!

    QsOTW:

    1.) What is your favorite holiday dish?

    Mmmm, holiday dish... which holiday? :) I suppose my favorite holiday dish would be the family recipe for pecan tarts that my mom always makes me. I only get them once a year because they are SO bad for me...but mmmm they are goooood.

    2.) Anticipating any family drama?

    Nope. My children are going to see their father, he lives an hour away. My family is about 20 hours away and my husband's family is all in California... soooo, we are going to sleep in and play video games or something. :)

    3.) Do you/ will you watch the parade?

    There is a parade?


    4.)  Black Friday shopping?

    I used too... especially when my girls were younger. Now i totally just shop online! I have a hard time in crowds and the Black Friday mobs of the recent years are really much more trouble than they are worth.

    Unexplained 2IF, they found some polyps on the SIS but cant say definitively if that whats causing the recurrent miscarriages or not. Surgery for polyp removal is pending, waiting for a repeat SIS next month. 

    Current cycle - Cycle # 12, CD 12 - BREAK CYCLE... Mommy needs a time out.
     

    QsOTW:

    1.) What is your favorite holiday dish?


    My aunts homemade Mac-N-Cheese! Thank god she taught me how to make it so I wont be without this year lol  

    2.) Anticipating any family drama?

    Nope, it's just us 3 this year... 

    3.) Do you/ will you watch the parade?

    There's a parade? lol

    4.)  Black Friday shopping?

    Ehh, probably not. No one wants to wake up and see me on the front page of the news for murder :-)

  • Hmm, so hard to pick- I love all the pie too, but I also love turkey and stuffing, and all the potatoes. 


    Drama? Hell no. The inlaws are coming to MY HOUSE, so if they want any drama they better save that shit for their llamas.

  • History:
    Me PCOS DH low sperm count. Conceived through IVF a beautiful baby girl.

    Favorite holiday dish:
    My mother in law makes the best mashed potatoes and although I haven't been to my mom's in years she makes the best baked beans for holidays. 

    Family drama?
    There aren't that many of us there, and my BIL and SIL are really weird so they keep to themselves. They had a baby 5 months ago so my time will be spent with my baby playing with their baby.

    Parade?
    No. We have to be at my IL's at 1130 for dinner at noon. I have to work at 2.

    Black Friday shopping?
    I work retail, so I will be working a long day that day. Hopefully there will be some things left to buy when my shift is over. There are some great deals.

  • Me: 1st and 2nd pregnancies conceived the first month we tried. 2nd one ended in a loss at 15 weeks. About 8 or 9 months later, we did an IVF cycle and so far, so good. I had my 2nd beta yesterday, and all seems to be going well. 

    QsOTW:

    1.) What is your favorite holiday dish?

    mashed potatoes...mmm....

    2.) Anticipating any family drama?
    Of my raging alcoholic SIL is up to her antics, then possibly. 

    3.) Do you/ will you watch the parade?

    We'll turn it on for my nieces and DD to see for a bit.

    4.)  Black Friday shopping?

    Nope, we'll be driving home from my brother's in CT.

    DH is a bit like that too. He sometimes laughs at things that aren't funny at all. That's just how his emotions bubble up sometimes.  Thankfully that wasn't the case this time and he's dealing with it all reasonably well for someone who is quite emotional in general. We'll have to see how it all plays out once the shock wears off...

  • I'm a little late, sorry.

    Please provide a brief history, your dx, and your current cycle status. 


    Me- Conceived DD on 150 mg of Clomid after 3 years with Lupus, PCOS, LP and LPD. I'm 4DPO, I think. 

    Current cycle - This is my 17th cycle.

    QOTW:

    1.) What is your favorite holiday dish?

    Deviled eggs and pumpkin pie

    2.) Anticipating any family drama?

    Maybe on my Dad's side. They all suck except my dad and grandma, haha!

    3.) Do you/ will you watch the parade?

    We're going to a Christmas tree lighting but no parades. DD isn't interested for some reason. 

    4.)  Black Friday shopping?

    My DH went because I'm way too emotional right now.

  • I'm so tired/lazy. I've read this post like 5 times this weekend and still haven't answered!

    Me: Unexplained 2IF, apparently. Starting to use OPKs to see if I can work some magic with those. Have a genetics appointment on Thursday- if we all check out normal, then DH and I might consider IUI. DS' autism has made parenting really, really hard lately so we are nervous about a second with any kind of developmental delay.

    Let's see, I flipped between the parade and the Turkey Bowl (local news + grocery store do a huge competition, bowling frozen turkeys into towers of soup cans).

    Drama was my cousin showing up with 2 sick kids, one snotty, one puking, at dinner where my DS and my other cousin's 6 month old were happily healthy...

    My BFF and I did do some shopping yesterday, but later in the day so we missed the craziness.
    • History: ME: DOR, low AMH.  DH Azoospermia due to CBAVD from CF.  IVF/ICSI/PESA #1 twins 2010 :) :)  FET #1 not viable D&C surgery , IVF # 2 nothing to transfer, and IVF #3 chemical.  Hoping to try IVF/ICSI/PESA #4 with CCS and FET at CCRM this summer. 2014.  Need one day work up there this winter 2014 and supplements estrogen priming before starting.  DH wants to use first clinic instead maybe???  
    • Just arrived back from seeing both sets of grandparents!  I had my first mammogram and thankfully it came back all clear :)  I also had my annual pap waiting for results on that.  So DH threw me a curveball last night and he said if he ever has another PESA he wants it done by the same Infert. Urologist that did the very first one.  So if we wanted fresh swimmers, which is ideal, that would mean not using CC*RM but instead the first clinic where we used to live, far away.  Yes it would be less $$$$ but they do not have CCS testing and we need an excellent lab because of DH's and my issues too since we get so few eggs.  I talked to my old RE awhile ago and he mentioned transferring anything viable at ideally day 5 and hoping that will win the day. Not sure where to go from here, thoughts?
    QOTW: Love making/eating desserts especially cookies, no drama this year, yay, did not watch the parade, I did cyber Monday shopping instead.
