----2IF weekly checkin---

KC1212 · January 2014

Please provide a brief history and the status of your current cycle.

Me: 2 yr. old DS was conceived naturally after 4 years of MFI (maybe?) infertility and 2 failed IUIs. I don't know my cycle status right now. Does a D&C make it CD1? Whatever, we are benched for 2 cycles but, will probably sit out longer than that and we have toyed with the idea of throwing in the towel altogether.

QOTW: Do you like to travel and if so have your been anywhere interesting?

Yes

love it but, I hate flying. However, my fear of heights does not stop me. Our favorite place is the Dominican Republic. I've also been to Cancun and the Bahamas. For the states, I love New Orleans but have only been once. I could just plant my butt at Cafe DuMonde and stuff my face with beingnets all day long

Edit forgot something

freakyfast · January 2014

Mrs Castillo let me know I am 9 days before my FET. I am currently on Lupron, estrace, and estrogen patches. I go this Saturday for another lining check, and if I am over 8mm they will trigger me. Then I will start PIO on Sunday. :-SS 8-} (This is just a little bit of how I feel)

QOTW: I love to travel! I love staying in hotels for some reason. Maybe because those are the only times I can walk away from making my bed. I haven't really been anywhere out of the country except Cancun, but I absolutely loved going to New York! I will definitely be going back.

Jen071407 · January 2014

Me: Both DDs conceived 2nd cycle trying, ttc#3 since Oct. 2011 and I'm just over my whole history since then. On my 2nd of 5 weeks of bcp before starting our IVF cycle around Feb. 21! Super pumped and optimistic.

QOTW: I love traveling. Haven't been anywhere super thrilling, but we do vacation every April in Anna Maria Island, FL and it is a wonderful little spot.

KC1212 · January 2014

@jen071407 my DH and I honeymooned at Anna Maria!!

Me: DD 12/1/2009 Conceived 1st cycle trying. TTC #2 Since May 2012. PCOS diagnosed Feb 2013. Met with RE Oct 2013, surprise BFP two weeks later with no treatment. MC and D&C Nov 2013.

Current. I am on CD 14 I think? We are benched this cycle so I am not really paying attention. I am still off my Metformin until my c.diff test comes back *hopefully* negative. As soon as AF shows up we can get this show on the road and get my HSG scheduled and start my first ever Clomid cycle.

I do love to travel but unfortunately haven't gotten to the last few years. I went to Europe in high school. And I've been to Colorado a few times, Tennessee for our honeymoon, Chicago and St. Louis for little trips. DH and I have been working really hard to get debt paid off and build our savings before we travel. Plus DH works in construction and money has been tight. Anyway, DH has never been on a plane or seen the ocean so I really hope in the next few years we meet our financial goals so we can travel. I would love to go somewhere warm and tropical, DH wants to go on an Alaskan cruise.

Isn't it great?!! I love the old Florida feel, and the white sand beach is awesome B-)

Blackvelvet · January 2014

DS is 4.5 he was conceived naturally after 23 cycles. We have been trying for number 2 since his birth. I went in for testing last week and will get my results Feb. 20th it seems so long away but I couldn't go in the week before because we have to travel for DH's 3 month checkup on the brain cancer and the trip to do it takes three days. Also the OB doesn't have appointments on any Tuesday or Friday (though my last appointment was on a Friday??) I guess I get at least one more cycle before I find anything out.

I HATE to fly especially over water, I also dislike beaches. I have only been out of the country to Canada but the border was only 80 miles away when I grew up so it was just a hop and a skip away. I love Alaska I spend three months in the summer of 2003 there. DH and I drove up with our camper in June/July 2007 and spent a month outside, we did tons of fishing, clamming and hiking. I love Alaska and have been on all the main roads outside of Anchorage:-) even up to Prudhoe bay.

Momarazzi007 · January 2014

2&1/2 dd conceived through IVF (FET) after years of trying and finding out severe mfi. Current cycle is really just pulling nickels and pennies out of the cushions to try and pull together last couple thousand dollars needed for fresh IVF cycle and are hoping to start in March (med protocol through the month) and ER & ET during spring break in April. It seems soooo far away!!!

I'm ok with traveling, depends on where to. Been to Spain and Ireland and was amazing... Been to family in other states and just wanted to shoot myself... I think depends on where you go. Once I get there gtg.

chrissynena · January 2014

Conceived DD through IVF. I have PCOS and did not ovulate untilllll I gave birth to DD. Trying IUI to conceive #2, last cycle then moving to FET.

I love to travel. I have been to a few states, but have been to them multiple times. My favorite is Hawaii. I am currently trying to get DH on board with moving there. I have only been outside of the states to Canada and Jamaica. I would like to travel overseas, but that will have to wait until our baby debt is paid off.

Looking4bfp2 · January 2014

Hi all! Newish here. Lurking around. :-h Diagnosed PCOS, DD conceived through IUI in 2010. Currently in 2ww after 3 IUI since march 2013.
Wish I could travel more, life is so busy! Loved Napa and St Lucia!

Jeffreysmom24 · January 2014

Jeffrey is 17 months and was conceived without any problems. Have been TTC again since nov 2012 with 2 CPs last year. Currently on round 2 of clomid.

I have mixed feelings about traveling. I am really a homebody and like to stay in my comfort zone but once we get to our destination, I love it. Went to St Lucia several years ago for my sister's wedding. Loved Vail - we went there for our honeymoon. I go to nyc for work but would love to go with DH one day - he has never been there.

LindsayF24 · January 2014

Hi everyone! DS is almost 2 1/2. We've been TTC since April 2013, started with an RE in November. I'm on my second cycle with him. First was climid + ovidrel + TI. This one is same meds and an IUI. Currently in the 2WW. RE said to test on the 24th. I tested Monday and Tuesday, got negatives. Planning to test tomorrow and Friday. I am clearly a glutton for punishment.

I love travel. Can't get enough!!! My favorite destinations have been in Europe, specifically Paris and Italy. Would love to go back and would also love to go to London, Spain, Croatia . . . too many on my wish list!

efhoping2010 · January 2014

History: Me: DOR, poor AMH/FSH, DH Azoospermia due to CBAVD from CF. IVF/ICSI/PESA #1 in 2010 twins. FET #1 nonviable pregnancy and D & C surgery, IVF/ICSI/PESA #2 no embryos to transfer, IVF/ICSI/PESA #3 chemical. Hoping to cycle IVF/ICSI/PESA #4 in summer 2014 somewhere. DH and I cannot agree, he does not want another PESA or to be touched at all, blah. We have decided CC*RM is too $$$ for one try.

Update: FSH is now 8.9 and AMH is now 0.8

In 2012 my FSH was 3.2 and AMH was 0.98

Feeling a bit blah over it all.

I am going to talk to DH about the results tonight.

Our twins started preschool yesterday and I cannot believe they are almost 4, I really thought they would have siblings by now.

QOTW: We have not been anywhere since May 2008! We are really homebodies as DH does not like sleeping away from home.

lcloffredo · January 2014

DS is going to be 2 in March and got pregnant by surprise. Got referred to an RE for PCOS March last year and finally decided to start med cycles in October. 2 failed rounds of clomid and just found out I have 2 or 3 good follicles on my first round of femera. Should ovulate in the next couple of days but no +OPK yet.

I love to travel and we are hoping to take a trip to Disney in June. I love vacationing in Martha's Vineyard though I love feeling so separated from the hustle and bustle.

designer303 · January 2014

Ds is 2, concieved after 9 cycles with RE and about a year and a half of trying of own our own. Magic combo was Tomaxifan, Follistim & IUI.

Currently I am CD1 after my loss last month :-w and we are still trying to re-group, not sure when we will be able to start really trying again.

We love to travel and just got back from Florida, which was less a vacation and more running around to 2 sets of grandparents and friends, but it was much warmer there and had DS not gotten an ear infection would have been pretty enjoyable. So now I am looking forward to our trip to Aruba next month.

Thanks we are hoping so, havent been before. But the weather has to be a vast improvement as we are covered in snow and freezing temps right now.

Would love to go back and would also love to go to London

London is amazing, we used to live there for a short bit and try to go back often. I say go and in September/ October if you can, its a little less crowded and the weather is usually some of the best they get.

EmilyB15 · January 2014

Me: DS conceived after 18 months of IF using femara/injects. Currently TTC #2. Day 18. Triggered Monday. Officially in the 2WW. Just finished a femara/injects cycle.Fingers Crossed!

QOTW: I love to travel. I met DH in Europe in college (he's Irish). We lived in Ireland for 5 years and also London and Belgium for a while. We have traveled all over Europe, Costa Rica, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and the US. I really want to travel more. There is just never enough time or money!

TeAmoMiAmor · January 2014

DS is almost 3 &1/2 and was a complete surprise after 1 night of not using a condom while we were still TTA. TTC # 2 since July 2012. Gearing up for IUI #2.1 after #2 was cancelled due to apparent early/no ovulation. Last cycle was forced break as I out of town and couldn't make baseline appointment. Just had baseline appointment today with RE and we are moving forward with 100mg of clomid starting today, since it looks like I haven't ovulated for the last two cycles. Mid-cycle ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday and if all stays on track looking at IUI next weekend.

I love to travel, but don't really love hotels. I get kind of grossed out thinking of all the other people that have slept in the bed before me, but I'm much better if I at least have my own pillow. I went all over Europe in college and DH and I honeymooned in Greece. DH is from Venezuela so we've been there and also to Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean a couple of times. We usually take a couple of trips a year, we have family that live out of State, plus we vacation out of State every year - looking at going to Kiawah Island in July this year.

It is very quaint and on the golf side of FL so the water is clear. I want to go back with DS and take him to Sarasota Jungle gardens and the ringling brothers mansion is not far away, either.

CheesyPeas · January 2014

Conceived first cycle with angel baby and conceived DS after 2 tries, and then my body broke. DS is 2, and I'm on cycle 18 with short LPs and just general weirdness compared to my pre-DS cycles. Getting ready to enter into my FW on a natural cycle.

QOTW: I enjoy traveling but we don't go anywhere. We might start traveling more in a couple of years once we have cars paid off and feel like we're in a better place financially. I'm pretty easy to please and end up enjoying everywhere we go, even when our destination is close to home. Northern CA was probably my favorite thus far.

CeCe8579 · January 2014

My DD was conceived after months if trying and after 3 rounds if Clomid. I've had multiple mc's. DH and I both have IF DXs. We are benched indefinitely and on the road to adopting most likely but we're not giving up because we're to hardheaded!

QOTW:
I have been to Taiwan and China. Pretty interesting. I want to go to England and Greece to visit family.

sailorgal · January 2014

Brief history & status:
DS is almost 4 and conceived no problems. My cycle never regulated post partum. Lots of endless periods, spotting, etc. Just was prescribed and started progesterone cream today so we'll see if that changes anything! Appt with new RE in a month.

Travel: love it! Various cities across US and Canada, West coast road trip from Vancouver all the one day to Mexico, Alaska cruise, backpacking through Central America, Contiki tour through Europe, Bermuda, Bahamas

annibes · January 2014

DS is 4 and we've been TTC # 2 since August 2010. I'm waiting to O. Unexplained 2IF except maybe MFI related to lousy morphology (no one has a clear answer for us). I have DH on vitamins. I got a positive OPK today. It was strong, too- I could tell it was positive before the control line was even fully developed. I can feel O gearing up on the right and my batshitcrazy self has decided that I should lie on my right because clearly gravity will help us out, right?

QOTW: I do like to travel, but we don't go often because with DS's autism a break in routine takes weeks of preparation and we never know how he will react. He did super well on our trip to Turks and Caicos last May, so I'm trying to convince DH to book another trip soon! I would love to go back to Europe sometime, but DS will have to be much older for that so either he can handle a trip like that or we can feel comfortable leaving him with a family member for long enough to travel across the pond and back.

bcw2009 · January 2014

4.5yo DS conceived the first month we didn't prevent! Currently 13DPO (feeling like my period will be here momentarily) on cycle 19ish with a borderline low morph/unexplained diagnosis. We have an appt with the RE next Tues where we will hopefully come up with our plan for treatments. I have totally conflicted feelings about moving forward-one moment I want to go on BCP and be done trying and the next moment I want to do IVF in March
~X(

QOTW: I LOVE to travel!! I could go on vacation every other month if we could afford it. The most interesting/exciting trip I have ever taken was to Italy and on a Mediterranean cruise for our Honeymoon. I also studied abroad in Australia and that was amazing. Otherwise I love the beach, mountains or anywhere really

Hurley1023 · January 2014

Me: My DS is 2 and was conceived naturally and within 3 months of trying. Been trying for #2 for almost 1 1/2 years now. Dx with high prolactin and dor. Started injectables and iui in June, got pregnant but had mmc at 14 weeks. Currently on 3rd cycle of injectables and iui. We pay out of pocket for all meds and iui, so not sure how much longer we can do this. QOTW: I love to trvael, but have not been anywhere but Disney in a while. Do not consider Disney a vacation, because it is so exhausting. Love the beach, went to Hawaii on honeymoon and loved it. Would love to travel to Europe one day.

SoBelle09 · January 2014

DS who is almost five took about a year to conceive.. One m/c before him. Been TTC since May 2012. One presumed ectopic, one presumed chemical. Day 12 (1 day post trigger). I have MTHFR and PAI-1 genetic mutations. As for travel, I love Napa, San Francisco, and Madrid.

Acegoat · January 2014

Me: Daughter born in April 2012 - conceived naturally after 4 cycles off birth control. Been trying for #2 since Jan 2013. Schedule first appointment with ob/gyn for tuesday - scared out of my mind at the thought of confronting infertility. Currently CD7 hoping I will ovulate within a couple weeks, as I have had irregular cycles.

Travel: Have been grateful to have been to Cook Islands and Fiji, loved cook islands and dream of going back. Also love Hawaii, really hoping to do a family trip this year need to get away and I LOVE tropical vacations.

Amerbutt81 · January 2014

Son is 2 and was a surprise after being dx with prolactinoma at 16. Dx with PCOS after I didn't have a cycle since his birth. Force bleed with Provera, so I guess I am CD 24, but I stopped keeping track since RE doubts I will ovulate on my own. Looking into alternative medicines.

I love traveling, but we don't really have the funds. Actually, we never went in a honeymoon. We had planned to go to Hawaii on for our first anniversary, but on our one year we had just found out we were 20 weeks pregnant about two months before. My parents have a house at the Jersey shore, so we get some beach time every summer.

I think the most interesting trip I ever took was spring break 2000 I went to London with my college. They offered this insane deal of flight and staying accommodations for a week at $250. I couldn't pass that up! I would love to go back. I really would love to see Paris at some point!

lucky7wife · January 2014

My history is summed up in my signature. Currently waiting on my period so we can start round two of Ivf. Higher dose of meds, hoping for two embryos to transfer and if we are really lucky, at least one to freeze.

QOtW:
I've been all over the u.s., to Italy, Jamaica, Switzerland and England. Would love to go on Safari one day.
