~*~* TTC Again Check-In 3/12/14 *~*~
ccam

Hi ladies!
Good luck to everyone cycling!! Lots of ladies starting up cycles this month
((Hugs)) to everyone else 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: Name four jobs you've had in your life, not including being a Mom 
TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!"
ancp27 - 1/15 - We are TTC, kind of. We planned to go back to the RE this month but still no AF. I'll start charting for a few months once it's back. I'm not sure if we'll do any IUI'S r go straight to IVF. Hopefully we'll get lucky again.
Ducky719 – 3/5 - No updates here. Having a lot of internal struggles about TTC#2 in general, but I don't feel like getting into it now.
Mayzie15 – 3/5 - I'm waiting for AF to get here she should have been here today. Of course I want her to show so she doesn't - hopefully tomorrow. I will start Opks after to determine what my body is doing with ovulation. I moved my hysteroscopy appt to the 20th so I would be off the 21st and have the weekend to recover. That's about it - I'm in a wait and see mode.
mnj05 – 3/5 - It looks as though I am getting AF again, two weeks after the last one again. This two week in between thing is getting old. I'm trying my hardest to not jump on the hopeful train, but it's so hard not to
TTC, with treatments
BabyKsMommy - 3/5 - I am hopefully going to be doing my IUI this weekend and then will be in the 2ww. I really am just going through the motions. We have now been TTC #2 for a year. I have only taken 1 month off of treatment in the last year, its hard to think that it could work but i can't stop for the shred of hope that it will work
Bellalou – 3/5 - Had post op appt today. RE said a whole panel of drs reviewed chart on Monday and they have several back up plans in place. He feels good about this cycle. AF should be here tomorrow. If not, 1 day very soon. Idk if the hysteroscopy is going to mess AF up or not. We shall see. You know what they say. 5th times a charm
ccam - 3/5 - My biopsy results came back as normal, although that's from the nurse and my RE hasn't officially signed off just yet. I'm still waiting on our bw results though. Hopefully soon! Of course this cycle is all off (it usually is after a few weeks of meds) so this will probably push out FET #3 even further.
Efhoping2010 – 3/5 - Spoke to IVF clinic 1, they would allow me to cycle mostly remotely if need be. They are only requiring precycle we repeat bloodwork, plus I would need another another SIS and mock transfer, and I would have to start DHEA and COQ10 for three months prior for embryo quality improvement. I told them about wanting to try EPP with Antangonist. And they could arrange for DH to have his PESA the same time as ER so we could use fresh swimmers for that 10% greater chance of this working. The nurse could not believe all I had gone through since cycling there.
fullfhope – 3/5 - RE remains optimistic that we will be successful, so new protocol will be estrogen patch at end of next cycle to discourage my body and ovaries from pre selecting a dominant follicle for the cycle, to then be able to encourage more follicles to grow (I apologize if many of you are already familiar with this strategy, it is new for me). So, we are in a "natural" cycle now. Expect to move forward in about 4-5 weeks
mdiblasi10 - 3/5 - We are moving onto IVF on my next cycle. AF should be here sometime in the next week or so. My meds arrived yesterday so we are ready.
MoFree - 3/5 - Unfortunately I'm out since I got a BFN on Sunday, leaving me angry, bitter and in shock. I will be on hold for a little while since I am not ready to be OAD and right now don't have the emotional reserves to even think about a fresh cycle.
Pam MG - 2/19 - I had my baseline yesterday and DH usual goes with me but since we re trying the lone ranger I decided not to get to caught up in the process. I tried to act all happy but had a moment leaving the exam room and our doctor saw me and gave me the look. Also, I wish they would flipping figure out our insurance so I would not have to pay a butt load and then have a huge refund.
PennyLane26 – 3/5 - Yesterdays CD5 blood work came back great, now on 2mg Estra.ce twice a day and baby aspirin. Going in on Friday 3/7 for more blood work with transfer tentatively scheduled for 3/18.
Prettyaccountant – 2/26 - I started BCP about 10 days ago and am gearing up for a retrieval in mid march! I have some insurance that is going on until August that will give me benefits for Meds - about 8,000 in savings so I need to make the most of it. Otherwise I have been totally OOP.
readyornot24 – 2/19 - I am finishing up BCP on Sunday and then stims start next week. I can't believe this process is starting again, really hoping the change to antagonist with HGH is the lucky ticket.
srveatch – 2/19 - I got my period tonight so CD1 is tomorrow. Looks like Pennylane26 and I will be cycling together this month. DH and I are thinking of transferring two frosties this time. Hopefully that gives us a better chance at a positive.
STL34 – 3/5 - Today is day 3 of stims and my lupron headache is in full effect! Ugh! I go in Friday for an estrogen check and will find out when my first ultrasound will be that day. So, for now, I just have to keep on keeping on!
trigirl79 - 3/5 - was supposed to go monday for baseline blood work and U/S. got pushed to yesterday because of the stupid snow. but it was really good. turns out i am getting ready to ovulate - ON MY OWN. this is freaking huge! right side had on good sized (22) follicle - should O either tomorrow or friday based on how things looked and the blood work. start prometrium on monday and now i'm officially in the 2WW hellhole. but super excited, maybe my body is finally getting the message and getting on board! a few weeks ago i would have given anything for AF because it would mean things were back on track. now i'm backing to wishing her to never return
ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon
millie1984 - 1/15 - We are not actively trying yet, but MH and I have an appointment with our RE today to talk about IVF for TTC#2. We are going to go over things like cost and if our insurance will cover PGD, etc. We are also going to see if I am a candidate for IVF. So we're hoping to come out of the day with a game plan and more of a timeline for when we want to start officially TTC again.
Robeano - 12/27 - after some soul searching, I'm gonna take a break from trying until I get down to pre-pregnancy weight. I gained a bunch of weight in the last two months and I don't want to start off being pregnant this heavy.
BFPs! Let's Celebrate
Mcgeeva - 2/26 - Nada really new Doc did our strep test and was going to check for dialation but said baby was too low and didn't want to chance putting me into labor so here we wait
Imoverit – 2/19 - 32 wks and I have SPD, ouch. Hurts to walk and do anything basically. Dr. Wont let me travel anymore. Boo. I have an u/s Mon with MFM. Cant wait.
Mr.& Mrs. Woodtick – 2/26 - We had another growth ultrasound yesterday and baby boy is looking good.
Cwhitaker27 - 12/27 - 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.
Eve_Angelique - 2/19 - No real update I guess, rolling into 2nd trimester over here. M/S has cut back quite a bit for which I am thankful
Kdfecarie – 3/5 - 15 weeks now, have another OB visit monday, i am excited. Been feeling baby more now, and got hubby to feel too... We love to listen to her heart beat, and my son is always patting my tummy saying "baby" its so sweet!
carrera317 – 2/19 - I am about 12 weeks. I found out yesterday the results of my harmony test. All is normal for chromosomes 13, 18, and 21 and the sex ones. We found out the gender but are torn on whether to tell people. We didn't find out w our boy and it was so fun. Either way, results allowed us to have some relief and now we actually "feel" pregnant. I can't wait to tell my parents and son!
Kissies - 2/26 - I'm late on my update b/c I wanted to see what ob had to say, then I got a migraine! I'm happy to report I finally stopped spotting bright red! Still on PIO daily for now. in 4 weeks she's considering switching me to weekly shots I asked her to please ask high risk dr. I cracked and got zofran the nausea and vomitting was too severe so hard I can't even tolerate water the most! I have my anatomy scan and next appt in 4 weeks.
LeoLauren - 1/15 - It's official. BFP x 2! Omg (what I'll be saying a lot for the next 7 months)!
Mnerani – 2/26 - Closing out week 8 over here. I've been feeling SO homesick for the States this week. The same thing happened to me in the first tri with DS. I don't know if it's all the hormones or what..

Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
