Hi ladies!

Congratulations @Saraevh and @cinciem on your sweet baby boys!!  Hope you are all doing well!

Good luck to everyone cycling!!  Fingers crossed for you @mdiblasi10 and @MoFree!

((Hugs)) to everyone who needs them :)

This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently TTC again, either on their own, or via injectibles, IUI, IVF, adoption, etc. Occasionally, I do a bit of clean up. If you have dropped off and would like to be added again, just comments and you'll be back in business :)

TTC again, even after successfully bringing home a LO (or multiple LOs) is a stressful process for all of us, and this group is meant to allow us the opportunity to provide support and suggestions to one another, and to receive the same in return.

A check-in will be posted every week. Please send me a PM or reply to the check-in post if you would like to be added to the group.  Each check-in will provide the opportunity for you to provide an update as to where you currently are in your TTC. 

QOTW: Have you ever re-gifted anything or received a re-gift?  If so, what was it?

TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!"

AKB090609I had an us yesterday to check for cysts since I'm on cd48. The tech saw 'something', but of course couldn't tell me what. Waiting is hard. 

Byrne15 - TTC #3, no treatments this time. Just hoping for success the old fashioned way :)

Ducky719 – Still just DTD...sorta I guess.  DH and I haven't really done anything lately.  We are lame. 

Cbubbles2 - currently TTC on own, FET in 2014

chiwifey IF may have kicked my booty back in Sept but I'm back and ready to fight to complete my little family  :!! (did we decide that this emoticon is a big muscle?)  I'm currently taking Chinese herbs, going for acu and praying for a miracle. Our second opinion consult is Jan. 30. 

Mayzie 15 - I'm pretty sure I missed my opportunity this month - but MH and I are so tired from sleep deprivation it just wasn't going to happen this month and we are okay with it - there is always next month. 

PappsMcGee - planning to go back to seek treatments when ready (FX for a surprise for you in the mean time!)

Robeano - Well I talked to my family doctor, and since I'm still nursing Hannah she said it's probably best I don't start taking metformin until I wean her. Still no period :p

TTC, with treatments

BabyKsMommy  We just got back from disneyland were I ovulated like I thought I would so we just did TI with clomid this cycle. Hoping for the best Christmas present ever!

Bellalou - Surgery on 12-20 to remove tied tube. FET process will start following cycle 

CAL416 - pending SA, b/w and SHG prior to IUI w/Clomid

carrera317 - BW and US went well yesterday.  My lining was 9.5 (a miracle for me).  I started PIO and doxycycline last night.  FET is scheduled for Monday (12/16/13)!!!  Let the jitters begin (although you'd think I"d be over it by now)  

ccam  AF finally arrived on the 12/4/13, so I will go for bw on Christmas Eve and hopefully my cycle is regular this month.  I should start Lupron that night or Christmas night (yay Lupron for Christmas...) and then my transfer date will be set for January.

Dizzykates - Trying the old fashioned way planned IUI in June

Efhoping2010 - No update wishing everyone well :)   

Emwaiting - TTC #2, I have never checked in before.  We had to do IVF for #1 and we were lucky to have IVF work on the first try.  DS is almost 3 months and I am currently on day 4 of Provera.  I will start Clomid and Femara after AF arrives, monitor follicles and then do timed intercourse and see what happens.  Drs think our best chance for #2 is to try ASAP and we are sooo lucky DS is such a good baby!!!

Eve_Angelique -  Just in the 2ww over here, I go in for a PG test bw on 12/18/13.

Hopeful1981 - TTC #2, currently on CD34 waiting for AF to start so that I can embark on my IVF cycle.  I have endo and have been on Lupron since CD23.  Will be stimming with Follistim and Menopur. 

Kaf7 I am cycle day 11 and just waiting to start suprefact on the 21st. Still feeling a rollercoaster of emotions about all of it. LO is 9m today and I could just squeeze him to bits today. We are financially unstable at the moment so the thought of being oop and having to fly last minute for my FET is a bit unnerving today too....

Kdfecarie - Well today is transfer day (12/11/13)! I will be PUPO this afternoon!

Kingme - Hoping for FET in July/Aug/Sept ((Huge hugs))

Kissiesfet was yest afternoon. Of course my phone call about if our one frostie made thaw was few mins late then cut off time i was a wreck! Beta is 12/23/13. I had already told family 26th that an fet due date calender stated. So we r hopin to surprise them with a great christmas gift!

LeoLauren 2WW although I'm not feeling that it worked. Sigh...

mdiblasi10 -   9dpo today. I go back and forth every day, feeling positive one moment and sure that it didn't work the next. I will probably test on Friday. I am scared out of my mind.

Mnerani - I'm on CD7, on Letrozole and Gonal-F. I'm super anxious about our timing for IUI#1 this month. DH is traveling CDs 10 to 13 and then we are both out of town starting on CD16. So basically, we have a 2.5 day window to work with- UGH. And since this is my first treatment cycle PP, we don't know how my body will respond to the meds. On Saturday, I have a scan to see how my follies have responded so far. FX that they are growing sloooowly but surely!  

MoFree My beta is Sunday (12/15/13) and I refuse to test until that morning. My gut tells me the FET didn't work. I have zero symptoms and just feel different from my first IVF

nycbride0707 - I go in Sat for one last check, and then hopefully everything looks good and transfer in Sunday, with beta 11/19. Been doing PIO since Tues, man I'm sore!

PennyLane26 Grrr. I.hate.insurance. (or lack of it). So I got my period Sunday and was supposed to start pre-cycle testing on CD3. DH and I were quoted $2500 (we are OOP) for our FET cycle. I assumed pre-cycle testing would be covered since our clinic didn't include this cost at our consult. I was wrong. :(  This means our FET will be pushed back another month. Kind of disappointing, but we are taking it in stride. There's always something...

readyornot24 I m in the middle of ivf for #2. I had egg retrieval today (12/13) and I had 17 retrieved. I am actually shocked since I was expecting 4 or 5 based on previous retrievals and where my numbers were at....I had to ask the dr if he really had the right results for me. Now waiting on the fert report

Rjade9 - I'd like to be added!  We have our appointment with our RE next Thursday to come up with a plan for our FET.  In the meantime we are not, not trying  

ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon

Alie05 - Currently on a break cycle

Bearfootz - hugs and healing coming your way TTC on hold until 2014, making great weight loss progress. You go girl! :)

Mcgeeva - All looks good. They want me to pick my c-section date by the 31st when I go for my glucose test. I will do another scan as it gets closer to due date to check on the placenta acerta. Everything else seems to be textbook right now so I hope it stays that way. BP is staying down these days so no meds woopwoop

Imoverit – Im 21 weeks and sicker than a dog. I just want to feel better.

Wiscgirl95  - IVF cycle successful! beta #1 is 66 :)

Mr.& Mrs. Woodtick -  I haven't really updated in a while but long story short we got some news at our NT scan that changed my pregnancy from routine to high risk. We had our level II ultrasound last week and we go back next week for a follow up. I have my monthly OB appointment tomorrow.

TJ1979 - 16 weeks today. Feeling better most of the time. My back is hurting REALLY badly, but other than that sometimes I forget I'm pregnant. Loving feeling deuce wiggling around in there!!

Cwhitaker27 - I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow. We told our families on Sunday at "our Thanksgiving".  I just told the doctors I work with today since I was off mon/tues sick and throwing up all day. They were/are very supportive so that's great!  We are telling the rest of our family and friends via our Christmas card next week. Overall still feeling very sick but happy to let the cat outta the bag mostly.

  • Well I talked to my family doctor, and since I'm still nursing Hannah she said it's probably best I don't start taking metformin until I wean her. Still no period :p

    QOTW: yes I have re-gifted lots of things. How many smelly candles and lotions do people think one girl needs? Yikes!

    I've actually been to a "re-gift" party after Christmas one year. We took our best gifts that we didn't like wrapped them up and did a gift exchange with them. It was hilarious!

  • Update: Grrr. I.hate.insurance. (or lack of it). So I got my period Sunday and was supposed to start pre-cycle testing on CD3. DH and I were quoted $2500 (we are OOP) for our FET cycle. I assumed pre-cycle testing would be covered since our clinic didn't include this cost at our consult. I was wrong. :( 

    We just purchased an investment property (a little something for G's college fund!) and we close on 12/27 (yay!) BUT that means we have a freeze on our accounts for our bank approval. In other words, we don't have a way to pay for the pre-cycle testing cost of $1500 until after the closing.

    This means our FET will be pushed back another month. Kind of disappointing, but we are taking it in stride. There's always something...

    QOTW: Confession - I usually re-gift for Yankee Swaps (or "white elephant" for those who live out of the northeast!). I never give junk, just things that i know I won't use that haven't been opened.
    dx: MFI 0% morph & low count. Occasional Anovulatory cycles.

  • I am cycle day 11 and just waiting to start suprefact on the 21st. Still feeling a rollercoaster of emotions about all of it. LO is 9m today and I could just squeeze him to bits today. We are financially unstable at the moment so the thought of being oop and having to fly last minute for my FET is a bit unnerving today too....ugh Woodtick, I hope everything works out ok. Penny, that's too bad about the delay. QOTW: I have regifted duplicate baby items or things I can't use because they are too small. Really anything I get that I can't use and can't exchange myself is fair game I think. Although I am far more likely to send it to goodwill. I'm not sure if I have received regifts.
  • Update: Just in the 2ww over here, I go in for a PG test bw on the 18th. 

    QOTW: I am about to regift this weekend actually. My best friends baby turns two and she LOVES Finding Nemo, and all things fish, I have a little fish lamp from my college days that is a clownfish like Nemo that she would love, my friend knows I'm re-gifting and she has no problem because her LO will love it! ;)

  • I'm pretty sure I missed my opportunity this month - but MH and I are so tired from sleep deprivation it just wasn't going to happen this month and we are okay with it - there is always next month. 

     

    QOTD - I can't think of anything I have regifted - I think I always fear that I will forget who gave me something and accidently regift it back to that person.  I had someone regift me a baby book - LOL funny thing was in the inside cover it said "Dear Baby's Name" Love Aunt's Name" It was too funny that it was so obvious that the person didn't open the cover to even see it :)

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

  • I'm on CD7, on Letrozole and Gonal-F. I posted about this separately, but I'm super anxious about our timing for IUI#1 this month. 

    DH is traveling CDs 10 to 13 and then we are both out of town starting on CD16. So basically, we have a 2.5 day window to work with- UGH. And since this is my first treatment cycle PP, we don't know how my body will respond to the meds.

    On Saturday, I have a scan to see how my follies have responded so far. FX that they are growing sloooowly but surely! GL to everyone cycling in Dec.
    DH and I are Americans living an adventure in Kenya since 2011
    DX: PCOS (annovulatory)
    Feb 2012: IUI #1 w/ only 1M sperm and a single follie = BFP! 
    Nov 2012: Little buddy born in Kenya
    Nov 2013: Trying for a second, still w PCOS
    Dec 2013: IUI cycle canceled for non-response
    Jan 2014: Break cycle BFP!

    Hugs to those who need it. Good luck @kissies @mnerani @leolauren @eve @kaf7 @ccam @kfdecarie and @Mr&Mrs.Woodtick

    @ccam I love how us IFers can turn any sort of treatment or step, no matter how painful, into a Christmas present. HAHA.  

    Update:  BW and US went well yesterday.  My lining was at 9.5 (a miracle for me).   I started PIO and doxycycline last night.  FET is scheduled for Monday!!!  Let the jitters begin (although you'd think I'd be over it by now).  

    QOTW:  Absolutely I have regifted.  As someone above said, a girl can only use so many candles and holders.  Geesh!   I do have to say though that it only happens if I were going to buy something similar anyways.   The stars do have to align.  
    Me = 36 with PCOS and 1 tube removed for a cyst and adhesions
    DH = 35 with low morphology

    April '09 IVF (antagonist protocol) = 5R5M, none fertilized, cancelled at ET
    May/June '09 IVF/ICSI = 6R6M6F, 2ET on 6.18.09, 1 frostie, Beta on
    6.30.09 = 51 OMG!! Beta #2 = 167 Beta #3 = 2630!!!!! An uneventful pregnancy. 
    3.16.10 a healthy beautiful miracle boy born via unscheduled c-section

    Now on the quest for another, so our dear son is not alone.

    May/June '12 IVF/ICSI (antagonist protocol) =10R9M9F, 1ET = BFN, 2 frosties
    Aug '12 FET, 1ET= beta hell, 2 rounds of methotrexate, 4 months later Hcg < 2 
    Jan/Feb '13 IVF/ICSI (long lupron protocol) = 18R18M18F, 1ET = BFN, 10 frosties
    Apr '13 FET w 2ET (one from '09 and one newer) = (strep throat during 2ww) biochemical = BFN
    June '13 FET w 2ET = 1 baby boy lost at 10w, D/E with karyotyping, loss due to monosomy 21.
    Karyotyping of me and DH negative for a balance translocation.
    Dec '13 FET w 2ET, BFP!!!! 12/26 beta #1 10dp5dt = 781, beta 2 12dpt= 2234 could this be real?!
      Not giving up yet.
    5 frosties on ice.

    Truly realizing how much of a miracle my son is and praying this will be a sibling for him.
  • Fingers crossed for you @KISSES!!

    And best of luck on Monday @carrera317!!

  • Too many people from mention. FX for anyone testing, congrats to the new moms and welcome to the world babies, hugs to anyone needing them and GL to anyone cycling.
    My beta is Sunday and I refuse to test until that morning. My gut tells me the FET didn't work. I have zero symptoms and just feel different from my first IVF.
    QOTD: I regifted a Baby's First Christmas ornament that came from my parents, who still cannot accept that I celebrate different religious holidays from them because I am Jewish. My friend put it to good use on her tree.
    TTC since 3-08 IVF # 1 Dec 2011 BFP DD born at 31 weeks 6-24-12

    FET #1 Dec 2013 BFN

    FET # 2 Feb 2014 BFN

    No more frosties

    IVF #2. September 2014

    PGD yielded 2 perfect 5d blasts

    SET November 9, 2014
    Nov 23, 2014. Another BFN

    Not sure where to go from here.

  • I just intro'd on the board but I m in the middle of ivf for #2. I had egg retrieval today and I had 17 retrieved. I am actually shocked since I was expecting 4 or 5 based on previous retrievals and where my numbers were at....I had to ask the dr if he really had the right results for me. Now waiting on the fert report...... Qotw: I have done some regifting if I have duplicate items such as baby books or baby clothes that were never worn,,,,,but usually only if it was something I may have picked out anyway.
