Success after IF

~*~* TTC Again Check-In 4.11.14 *~*~

Sorry ladies, I totally dropped the ball on the check-in this week!  And for some reason, the formatting gets all screwed up on my work computer (maybe because I should be working?!) so I can't post the entire list unless I retype it.  Once I get home tonight, I'll update this, but for now, you could still post your updates, if you have one!

QOTW:  If money were no object, where would you like to go on vacation?

Happy Friday!!

    Sitting here at the RE waiting for my first IUI and a couple just found out they are having twins. Sitting here feeling happy for them and wanting to cry QOTW: I would go back to Ireland if money was no issue! PS: congrats on the heartbeat!

    Thank you for the good lucks! It did not go well, there was only 500K worth of sperm. His last SA showed 5 million so we are in a little bit of funk right now. I also only had one egg so luckily we had a large credit and did not have to pay for anything.

    @efhoping2010‌ I'm so sorry about your job. I really hope something comes your way soon!

    @Pam MG Good luck!!!

    Not much new here-I saw my regular endocrinologist today. She ran all the coagulation panels that the RE wanted done in addition to all my normal labs for her and my Rheumatologist. (I group all my labs for 1 stick every 3 months when I can ;) ) I mentioned to her that the new RE suggested PCOS (which my original RE ruled out) and hypothalamic amenorrhea. So, she ran FSH, LH, prolactin and a few other hormone levels. We shall see what that all shows!

    A has been nursing only before bed since 4/2 and is doing well with it. I think that nighttime session will be hard to drop :(

    QOTW: I would love a two week stay in an ocean hut in Bora Bora!! However, if political issues weren't a factor, I'd love to do a world architecture tour! Egypt, Russia, India, china.... I think that would be so much fun!

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!

  • We got a BFN last Monday so on to the next cycle.  I am back on Clomid and Femara, then I will start my 4 days of Bravelle on Wednesday.  U/S next Monday the 21st and decided when to do IUI #2 then.  We had to do IVF for DS and both RE and IVF dr say one more round of IUI and then back to IVF when we are ready.  If only money wasn't an issue I would go back to IVF this cycle just to up our chances.  Good luck to everyone!
