Current cycle status : ~ 4 weeks post D&C and benched 2 cycles.
QOTW: In spirit of valentine's day, describe one sweet / romantic thing your DH has done (can be anything at anytime) well,'other than proposing
Well, we were just dating at the time and I had my wisdom teeth removed. All the drugs were making me sick as dog and I was hurling every few minutes in a trashcan by the bed. And my DH laid in bed with me the entire time and never left it's not exactly flowers and chocolate but, yeah.
Me: 27 DH: 33
Married 6 years Conceived DS after 4 years of MFI
TTC # 2 (not trying,not preventing ever) May 2013 - August 2013 Timed Intercourse = BFN September 2013 Timed Intercourse, Weekly Acupuncture, Herbs=BFN October 2013 Timed Intercourse, Weekly Acupuncture, Herbs, and "warming foods" = BFP Beta #1 19, Beta #2 18 Progesterone 4.6 Miscarried 11/9/13 November 2013 - Benched, waiting for first post-loss AF. No longer benched per New RE/OB! Jan. 15 2014 - BFP. HCG 3900 - Ectopic Jan. 16 2014 Left tube removed and D&C March 2, 2014 First AF
Plan is to start stims next Friday for our first, and hopefully only, IVF. Protocol is 150iu gonal-f, 75 menopur, and Ganirelix.
QOTW: MH gets up and is out the door by 5:30am everyday, and he'll sometimes leave me cute little notes on my iPhone to find when I wake up hours later. Nothing extravagant, but it always makes my day :x
Two DDs 10/08 and 08/10, no primary IF
TTC #3 since 10/2011 - dx unexplained/weak ovulation
3 BFN clomid + TI cycles, 5 BFN clomid/gonal f IUIs, 1 mmc IUI
2/19/2014 IVF #1 Unexpected low E2 (oversuppressed) -> increased to max doses = 3 or 4 follicles, converting to IUI
BFFP Saw 1 beautiful heartbeat at 6w6d, follow up u/s at 9w showed mmc. Eff this.
NTNP 5/2014-9/2014, OPKs and TI 10/2014 - 1/2015.
RPL testing all normal, AFC, AMH, and FSH all normal.
CD24, maybe o'ed yesterday, but more likely my temp jumped because of this stupid head cold (that DS also has - poor baby).
Romantic thing: My husband is very good at taking care of me and making me feel special, but last weekend takes the cake. He planned a surprise date on Saturday morning where he arranged a sitter and took me to get a couples massage! This is a huge deal because he does not like being touch by strangers - or even his own mother! So for him to do something with me instead of just send me off to do it alone was a great gesture. He's planning another surpass Valentine's day date for me, too next weekend. Dinner somewhere and he told me to get dressed up like we're going to prom, lol. I wonder if he would be annoyed if I actually wore an old prom dress?
Happily Mrs. C
start ttc #1 in Jan 2009
dx PCOS in May 2010, begin metformin
Two failed clomid cycles (made lining too thin)
Started acupuncture while saving for IVF in Sept 2011
Add herbal infusions to the mix in Dec 2011
Hoping holistic approach works!!!
BFP on April 2012 at 11dpo
Meepy Man born on Jan 2013 - Hip Hip Hurray!
Ready to start ttc #2 April 2013, but plan to be an extended BF'er
Back on metformin Aug 2013
Restart herbal infusions Sept 2013 - currently drinking nettle, oatstraw,and red raspberry leaf
DS weaned in April 2014
Taking a break from herbs and just riding the healthy train.
Planning medicated cycle end of summer. FX I get KU before then!!!
Starting meds next Friday for a FET. QOTW: Every night when we lay down to sleep DH always wishes me sweet dreams. When I worked 3rd shift, he would cuddle with me in the mornings (that he was off) and rub my back until I fell asleep.
TTC for 1.5 years with a crappy RE. 12 cycles with clomid (11 too many)
CD3 just took my first dose of femera this cycle and will be doing vaginal progesterone after ovulation. My romantic thing is that my DH tucks me into bed every night. When we were dating he would tuck me in and lock the door behind him when he left or I would talk to him on the phone until I fell asleep. Then he would send me cute text messages so I would see them every morning when I got up.
Well, last Friday we signed our contract and cleared finance! So we are set to start stuff on cd1 which should be in two weeks (I guess this means our last natural tww for awhile- hahahaha like that ever worked for us!!!). Romantic thing: last birthday he took us to the winery we got married at then surprised me at my favorite restaurant where my best friends were waiting to join us. Then we went to Howl-o-scream at Busch Gardens. He tried so hard to make it all a surprise but I always figure it out- but I kept my mouth shut and he was really happy and I enjoyed it all i did however mention, when I figured it out how much I was looking forward to spending my birthday weekend w him and our daughter bc he was planning on having his parents watch her the whole weekend- yeah right!!! I wanted my baby w me lol!!! And I know you didn't ask but, but for v-day I thought I'd be cute and have Shari's Berries delivered to him at work w the cheesecake trio to share with all his coworkers. Now it is supposed to snow and be stupid and he is going to stay home bc of 8 inches of snow and it is too late to cancel. Poop. Ugh.

QOTW: Romance? What's that? Just kidding. Well, I guess I have to say that he is the best at surprising me with gifts. He tries every year to get me something that I am not expecting to throw me off of his trail. And it is never for one specific holiday. Sometimes it is Christmas, sometimes mother's day. He is pretty good at getting me the thing that I have been eying when I least expect it.

Still waiting for AF. hmph! :-w FFS when you want it to show it doesn't!
One sweet or romantic thing?? hmmm. If he goes up to the bedroom before me he will turn my heating blanket on, on the bed so that I am warm climbing in. I love my heating blanket.
I'm about 1dpo and not feeling at all optimistic about this cycle. It's the first after the cp so I know odds are low. But first on Clomid and progesterone so who knows.
I can't think of romance at the moment but my Dh freaking rocks. I seriously lucked out.
I've just moved on to Cycle #21. We are waiting on a urology date for DH and still trying unmedicated. We are also still pursuing adoption. We start classes in a couple weeks.
My hubby takes me on surprise dates sometimes and I love it!

Fresh embryo transfer tomorrow on our second Ivf cycle.
Something romantic: cleaned all my salt crusted car windows this morning and warmed up the car, even though it was 10 degrees.
Trying for #2 with IVF after damage done in a D&C left me with one functioning (but too scarred) ovary and tube to get pregnant safely without assistance. It's a really, really long story, but that is the gist of it. We have one daughter (whose c-section birth started this roller coaster) born in 2012 after a miscarriage in 2011.
Failed 1st attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 3, 1 frozen embryo saved) in December 2013.
Failed 2nd attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 5, 2 frozen embryos saved) in February 2014.

QOTW: When DH and I first met at work he would hide candy bars as a surprise on my desk. I would do the same for him too. Some days even now he still does that, I will open my laptop and there will be a candy bar or he will put one of my shelf. He also sometimes leaves sticky notes with cute quotes or messages on my side of the bathroom mirror for me to see first thing in the morning

QOTW: DH and I don't really do much for the smaller holidays, but whenever he sees them, DH gets me chocolate covered strawberries because he knows I love them. And he reserves judgment as I inhale them shamelessly.
