******** 2IF weekly update********

Please give a brief history and current cycle status.

Okay I'm doin this mobile so ok it took 4 years to conceive DS and I'm on CD 33 of my 6th cycle trying for #2

If AF hasn't arrived by Friday I'm testing that am so I can drink that night at a Xmas party.

QOTW: do you and your DH/SO agree on tv show choices?

No- but we tolerate pretty well or he goes to the living room and I go to the bedroom - lol. He likes all sports and those gold rush shows.

Re: ******** 2IF weekly update********

  • DS was a surprise a long time ago.  I have DOR/Endo, and had surgery in November to remove my tubes.  Took my last BCP last night, and now I wait for AF, then I will go in for ultrasound, get my meds ordered and probably have a date for my FET in January.  *whew*  Seems so close yet soooo far away.  I am hoping the holidays makes the time go by fast. 

    QOTW: Do you and your DH/SO agree on TV show choices?  This makes me laugh because DH doesn't really watch TV unless it is sports or news.  I will be watching TV in one room, and I will tell him, you may want to leave you don't want to see this. (I am watching Criminal Minds, or some show with crime, or American Horror Story) He hates things that aren't happy and wants to know why I insist on watching things like that.  I don't know I just do! 
    So short answer no we don't. LOL B-)

  • Me: DD#1 conceived in 3 cycles, DD#2 conceived in 6 cycles however she was stillborn. Been trying for another since May 2012 and have had two chemical pregnancies. Currently on a break cycle. Probably back to meds next cycle.

    QOTW: DH and I actually have shows that we watch together. We record all of our shows and I watch my shows when he's not around, he watches his shows when I'm not around and then our shared shows.

    BFP #1 12.24.07 - DD born @ 39w1d on 08.26.08
    BFP #2 08.04.11 - DD born still @ 37w3d on 03.25.12

  • DS conceived after 26 cycles over 2.5 years.  Never prevented, but wanted to actively start ttc when DS was 3 mos, that was April.  Since I'm still BF'ing, I met with a midwife to get some advice on inducing fertility.  I am on a high protein diet and high omega 3s.  Also I drink herbal teas.  Not much else can be done at this point.  

    QOTW:  DH and I like some shows.  We always watch The Good Wife together and we enjoy Star Trek and a few other old shows.  But he also likes a lot of baseball shows and I like a lot of dramas.  So, we watch some stuff together, and I watch a lot of stuff by myself.

    Planning medicated cycle end of summer.  FX I get KU before then!!!
  • DS conceived naturally 2nd cycle. TTC#2 3+ years, still trying naturally. 8DPO, BFN (I know, I know) and for fun still peeing on OPKs just to see what happens. Got darker again today. Probably means AF is coming. That's what everything my body does means! DH is all Sci-Fi and sports. I like drama and comedy. We watch some sitcoms together (Big Bang, The Middle) and some reality (Duck Dynasty and Pawn Stars), but mostly he just sits and plays his iPad while I watch my shows and then he watches his after I go to bed. (P.S. If no paragraphs, blame the iPad. If paragraphs, disregard P.S.)
  • Me: Diagnosed with Prolactinoma in 1997.  Son (Hunter) was a complete effin surprise when I found out I was 20 weeks pregnant in May '11.  Haven't ovulated in three years, and first RE appointment is December 23rd.

    QOTW:  yes and no.  We do a lot of marathon show watching-- aka, we watch shows that are either over, or at least three seasons deep.  We did this with How I Met Your Mother, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Entourage and most recently, Smallville.  As far as shows that are currently on, eh.  We'll watch HIMYM and Once Upon a Time together, but that's it.  He's into more intense shows like Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy, and I am mildly obsessed with the Braverman's of Parenthood and the Greyson's of Revenge.  Actually, I just want to be Emily Thorne.  Aiden AND Daniel in my bed?  Yespleaseandthankyou.
  • Conceived DD first cycle off birth control with charting. Just hit the one year mark of trying.  Weaned from breastfeeding 2 cycles ago, but had normal cycles with ovulation so I doubt that was still affecting fertility.  Tried getting hormones tested last cycle.  5 sticks and they couldn't get anything.  Will try again this cycle.  Also going to ask about a sperm analysis.

    QOTW: do you and your DH/SO agree on tv show choices?
    We have different interests but he puts in a lot of effort to find things we can watch together.  We have watched monk, freaks and geeks, undeclared, pushing daisies, and better off Ted together.  We are making our way through psych now.  For current shows, we like new girl.

  • Conceived angel baby and DS with very little effort (1st and 2nd try respectively) and am now on cycle 16 of short LPs and trying for #2.  I'm in the 1.3 week wait on a cycle using herbal teas and fertility massage.

    QOTW: DH and I like a lot of the same shows and dislike a lot of the shows the other person likes as well.  We both like New Girl, It's Always Sunny, Parks and Rec, etc.  He likes raunchy and stupid comedy that I don't care for, and I like some girly shows and some singing and dancing competition type shows that he doesn't care for.  Although he has gotten into the Originals and Vampire Diaries with me, so perhaps we share the girly shows in common these days.

    November 2010 - 10.5 week loss  o:) 
    October 2011 - DS (7)  <3 
    July 2014 - Stillborn DD (24 weeks)  o:) 
    August 2015 - DD (3)  <3 
    April 2018 - 5 week loss o:)

    DD was conceived after countless cycles and three rounds of Clomid. DX for me: Lupus, PCOS, LPD and low progesterone. DX for DH: low motility.

    On cycle #17 and second round of Clomid for #2. Heading to the RE things morning to see what my body is doing this cycle. I'm 15dpo with brown spotting, cm and no BFP but I haven't tested since 13dpo .

    QOTW: We can agree on American Hoggers amber Duck Dynasty advance I can get DH to watch RHWONJ. I hate hugs hunting shows and he hates the rest of the RHWs.

  • DD FET after fresh cycle ectopic, failed FET, and she lost her twin. Just did last FET from that retrieval and BFN! Cycle day 4 and supposed to O on Christmas Day, just a reminder if the only thing any of us really want cant have. Hubs has a new semenanlysis set for 23rd and the we start up in March to have fresh cycle retrieval in April. Maybe an Easter Miracle?
    QOTW:
    I pick all the shows, he doesn't watch tv bc "everything sucks" then get heavily involved with my shows and so concerned about characters we actually restart the series and watch together. He doesn't watch sports except Tour de France and that has been crap for years. Oh, and a lot of kids shows, we alternate, she gets one, we get one and she has some independent play.
