We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm. 8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy. We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET. I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013.
11/14/14 - Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good.
12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2
12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)
1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2
****All Welcome!****
We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.

Re: TTC Check-In
I am 1 dpiui #5. Everything went well yesterday. The u/s beforehand showed that the smaller three follies made a run for it. So, at IUI time yesterday, I had a 21.5 mm, 18.5 mm and 2 16.5 mm follies. This made me much more excited for our chances. Our sample was 47 million after thaw and all were "zooming around" according to the nurse. I stared my Endometrin suppositories this morning. It is a hard tablet, which I was not expecting. I double checked and they are definitely for vaginal insertion only. I will be doing those twice a day until my beta. Beta is scheduled for 4/29. My 30th birthday is on the 24th, which would be 11 dpiui. I have always started testing at 10 dpiui. I think I might wait until after my birthday to test, just in case it is a BFN. A BFP would be a great birthday present, but a BFN would not be an enjoyable way to start off my birthday.
If this cycle is a bust, we are on to IVF.
QOTW: C's entire family gets together for Easter at her Aunt's house...we're talking about 40 people, at least. We are going there for a bit and then headed to my Aunt's for an early dinner. She makes wonderful food, so we are both looking forward to that.

Today is 13 dpiui. We got a BFN this morning but it is also CD33 so she is considered late but we will see if she doesnt get AF by tomorrow she will go for blood work Wednesday. She has no symptoms I am just annoyed with this cycle she O late her follie wasnt as big as I had hoped for with the natural cycle. I believe on the next cycle we will ask for medication. I know the docotor wanted her to have one natural cycle but she was also diagnosed with PCOS and I know meds will hopefully make more follies so hoping for more targets
I also have to remind my self yes this is our 8th try as a couple but for her body this is her first time trying to get pregnant and things take time.
QOTW: Do you do anything special for Easter? Usually we get together with both sides of the family and all the kids do a big easter egg hunt. This year I will be working so no real easter plans for me. SO will still go to family dinner and bring food home for me.
Married in September 2010, started TTC journey November 2012
Me-
7 IUI- 2 CP- 2 BFN
RPL blood work 12/27, showed a balance translocation in chromosome 11;22
Spouse-
PCOS 4 IUI-4 BFN
New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.
Heyo! So I inexplicably ovulated really early this month. I thought it would be sometime around CD 18-21 (since that's pretty normal for me). Nope, CD 14 this time around. I'm okay with that. It'll still be the end of the month when it happens and all the mayhem of April will be over so it's really not too big of a deal. I would have preferred a week later, to be honest, but I can't control what my body does so all I can do is roll with it.
Anyhoo... I had my first acupuncture appointment today
The acupuncturist is smokin' hot. I was a little distracted. I guess some eye candy can't hurt, right? He told me his patients see a 15% increase per cycle following his plan so that'll hopefully give my odds the boost they need along with the Follistim and Femara. I'd scheduled my meds to arrive on the 29th. You know, because I was completely sure I'd ovulate late enough that it would be okay to wait.
8-|
I didn't want the medicine staring me in the face the rest of the month so I wanted it to get here later when I'd allow my obsessive thoughts back into my head. C says she'll hide it for me so I won't see it all the time. I guess I better call the pharmacy and have it shipped sooner. Oh, joy!
QOTW- We are going to my sister's for Easter and the whole family will be there. My family is hilarious so we can't wait and there will be six different kinds of pie!
Probably be in Niagara Falls for Easter this year. I have my niece and nephew for spring break and my sister wants them back, not exactly sure why.
