ky29 · April 2014

Posting early since Easter is tomorrow. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Congrats to all the BFPs and ((hugs)) to those that need them!

If you are finally getting your BFP, please PM me so I don't miss it! Also this helps me avoid posting an ambiguous BFP if you're not ready to officially call it.

Reply to this post if you would like your information updated. Please post an update at least monthly so I know you are still active - even if your info hasn't changed. You will be removed if you go more than four weeks without posting.

If you would like to be added or updated, please answer the questions below:

1. What is your name (if you want to share)?
2. When did you start TTC (month/year)?
3. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)?
4. What treatments are you doing?

For everyone who is up to date on the above, where are you in your current cycle and how's it going?

QOTW: Happy Easter! What is a favorite Easter memory / tradition from your childhood?

StacyLH24 · April 2014

I'm 6 dpiui. I started Endometrin on Monday and the side effects haven't been horrible. I'm going to test tomorrow and Monday to make sure the Ovidrel is gone - usually it is by now for me. The real testing will start on Tuesday.

Hugs to those who need them. Congrats to the BFPs.

QOTW: We used to always go to my Aunt's. We would do an Easter egg hunt, fish if it was nice enough and eat lots of great food. She would usually have baby bunnies to play with as well.

Pintobean39 · April 2014

I'm in my 2ww and miserable. I'm 2dpo my boobs hurt so bad I can't lay my arms by my side, I'm still cramping and have moments of horrible pain but I can tell it's easing up some. To top things off now I'm so freaking constipated, seriously?? 2 days before trigger I had diarrhea pretty bad now I can't even go. I started taking colace today so hopefully I'll get some relief soon.

QOTW: When my mom was alive Easter was a huge deal, lots of food and Easter egg hunts. My great grandmother use to make ceramics as a prize for the golden egg. Now I don't do anything. Tomorrow I'll prob just watch lifetime movies my husband is working and my kids are going to their grandmothers on their dads side.

Canuck13 · April 2014

I'm in the middle of doing iui #3, but this cycle hasn't exactly gone as planned...looks like I might have the iui on Wednesday or Thursday but we'll see...they have also mentioned the possibility of cancelling

QOTW: As a child we always went to an Easter parade and one year when I was seven they interviewed me asking what Easter meant to me and it was in the local paper...I think I still have it!

mrsrichey11 · April 2014

We are off the bench!! CD5. Currently doing a Femara+Follistim+Ovidrel+Prometrium protocol. GL & hugs everyone!!

QOTW: When I was little my uncle would hide eggs with money all over his property (about ten acres of land). Most of the eggs had a few quarters or a $1 bill in them, but there was one that had $100. I was one of the youngest at the time and always ended up only finding two or three eggs every year. For some reason that year he let me have a head start and put the egg in plain sight so I would find the $100 one first on purpose. That's honestly the only memory I can think of on Easter. It was amazing! I bought a lot of candy with that $100...

athlete010688 · April 2014

I'm in the lovely 2WW. I'm 7 DPO. Temp is still high. Trying not to get too hopeful. I really want to POAS tomorrow if my temp is still high, but I know 8 DPO is too early. Ugh...I'm trying to hold off until late next week.

QOTW - I love Easter egg hunts. I did one for my sister one year. I can't wait to do them for our kids.

kushie77 · April 2014

We're benched until we see Fertility Urology and come up with a game plan. I have to have blood Monday to see if my beta came down.

QOTW: we used to go to my uncle Joe's and all the kids would wake up with an easter egg under our pillow a clue that was like a treasure hunt that led to your easter basket.

jessimi06 · April 2014

Iui #4 was a bust, so we've moved on to IVF. I started bcp yesterday, and after over two years of not taking them, it feels so weird to again! We have our final consult next Monday and we'll get our protocol and schedule then. I may not end up doing R/T until June now, since our cd3 scan showed a huge cyst

QOTW - dying and hunting for eggs!

StacyLH24 · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ - I'm sorry

chickysue · April 2014

I start Clomid tomorrow for 5 days at 150mg. Follie check on 4/30. Hopefully IUI #2 will be magic for me

Milagros315 · April 2014

I'm sorry @AlaskaDee23 - ((hugs)). FX for you @calindi!

Hugs and FX all around!!

AFM: Today is stim day 5. I had my first scan yesterday and everything looks great so far! I have 22 measurable follies and they're all growing at a pretty uniform rate, which is an improvement over last cycle so I'm really happy with how it's going. I'll go in tomorrow for my second scan and pre-op appointment.

QOTW: "The Easter Bunny" used to leave notes in our baskets that lead us on a scavenger hunt around the house to find a little gift. That was always fun.

ronniesgirl1981 · April 2014

Oh no @AlaskaDee23‌! Big, huge hugs coming your way.

chickysue · April 2014

@alaskadee23 - Hugs

Pintobean39 · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ ((hugs))). I'm so sorry.

jencity9 · April 2014

Working on IUI #4.1 now. I'm taking Letrozole and go in this Thursday, cd11, for my first mid-cycle scan.

QOTW: coloring Easter eggs and Easter egg hunting.

supermorena · April 2014

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate!
@ky29‌ please update: had a heart to heart with hubby last night and we're going to take a break for a little while. The past 2 cancelled attempts at IUI had me really upset and I'm feeling like I can't handle the stres. So there will be no doctors with their vag cams, no meds, no bbt, no opk, no injections, and no timed or planned anything right now. It's hard, but I think it's for the best.
QOTW: I love all the candy and also honeybaked ham and homemade yeast rolls. Yum! Oh and just spending time with the fam :-)

Autumray · April 2014

Tww for me really doubting things right now. Temptation to POAS but juat cant take the disappointment today. Went to church with my BIL and SIL where not only did I not feel a thing spiritually but found out more people i know are PG. Should have stayed home in bed. Feeling like crapola today.

Mozzarella13 · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ ((hugs)) I'm so sorry girl!! Remember you're not out till beta!

calindi said:

@Pintobean39‌ - progesterone always gives me major constipation. Ugh! I might buy some Metamucil for this upcoming 2WW.

@calindi‌ I'm using the citrucel pills because since ER the progesterone has been wreaking havoc and now I'm even more afraid to have those issues after ET!!

BunnyBerry · April 2014

@autumnray so sorry for your crummy morning.

@alaskadee23 I'm so sorry.

Nothing new here, O was confirmed in time for me to get CD2 testing before AP exam weeks start (I coordinate APs and it was a big worry time-wise!).

QOTW: Definitely Easter dresses! (and hats, and gloves, and shoes, and handbags...) Always laying next to the bed when we woke up. I am planning to be really bare bones about baby purchases as we maintain a really simple lifestyle, but I know that Easter will entail adorable outfits!!

aves0708 · April 2014

@AlaskaDee23 Big ((hugs))<3

I have had vag cam dates all last week and finally at the last appointment on Saturday RE found a 13mm follie on CD 16. She decided to wait and do one more ultrasound on Tuesday and hopefully that follie will have grown enough to go forward with IUIs. If there is not enough growth then the cycle will be cancelled. I am really hoping we are not cancelled because this is our only chance before my husband goes out of the country for the next three months.

QOTW: My favorite Easter memory is hunting for our baskets. The Easter bunny always brought us one big stuffed bunny, so I always looked forward to that too.

Kissmark · April 2014

IUI #3 today!　I tried Clomid for the first time this cycle with just 50mg dose, but it didnt work. I only produced 1 mature follicle. DH also canceled this IUI coz he thinks it's a bit wasteful since I don't have more follicles. But I decided to go ahead with it. My scheduled appt for IVF consultation in May and I just want to try one more IUI before we go ahead with IVF.

chicory · April 2014

2WW here, had IUI#2 on 4/15. Trying to be realistic and not overly optimistic, as DHs numbers were our worst yet. I triggered for this IUI and am testing it out. Can I just say it's really, really weird to see a positive HPT?!? My first, and even though I know it's the meds, it's still weird. Five days out and definitely still positive, I wish it would hurry up and go away. I worry that it will stick with me until AF arrives and really mess with my head. @AlaskaDee23‌ I've been thinking of you lately

Hugs and prayers coming your way. QOTW: Mom would hide mine and my brother's Easter baskets, and we'd race to see who could find theirs first. She also had to make one for my dad, otherwise he'd steal our candy! Two years ago we were all home for Easter and Mom made baskets for me, DH, and my brother....complete with adult beverages, LOL.

runawaylaurel · April 2014

Last little bit of 2WW for me. I POAS today (11 DPO) and it was negative. Of course. So now I'm trying to stay away from Dr. Google and be a functional human being instead of a ball of hormones and negativity.

QOTW: I have always (and still do!) get socks for Easter, so even though I didn't love them as a kid, I love that my mom still gets me a sweet, silly present each year.

Alicia_R1 · April 2014

IUI#2 was BFN, taking this cycle off just to give myself a break mentally.

QOTW: probably the time a squirrel stole one of the mini easter eggs at my grandmother's house, we caught it going for egg #2.

Kam10 · April 2014

Hi everyone. (((HUGS))) to those who need them. AFM, IUI#2 was a BFN. Same protocol for this cycle. I start Femara tonight.

MissEm15 · April 2014

Good luck to everyone in the 2WW! FX for you!

Our IUI was cancelled.. I triggered w/ 5 mature follicles Friday morning. We DTD Friday night and Saturday night. We are MFI so I had to go for it! Hubby agreed. That being said, I have been googling non-stop about our chances for HOM, or even for one. I thought the stress would end at trigger, but no lol. It's goign to be a long 2WW. I'll test May 3rd.

adadeart · April 2014

Hi ladies! GL to those in the 2WW...ready for some more BFPs!

AFM, I go for my baseline u/s Sat am. I did email the doctor/nurse as I am on CD16 now and still spotting heavy and my temps are still post-O high. This has never happened to me, but it is my first time back on bcp after 3 years off. Dr wants me to come in for another u/s this week. I'll be lucky if I'm not fired with all these pre-IVF appointments.

bocaburger · April 2014

Hugs to those who need them!!!

DH finally had his SA and got really good results. :-) So, pending HSG which I won't be getting for a few months, it looks like it's hopefully "just" PCOS.

I believe I may have ovulated on my own the last few months (based on somewhat regular cycle lengths and PMS symptoms) so I started charting again to see if I could confirm it. So far nothing and I'm on CD21... so either I was wrong or my body is just playing tricks with me now.

Sticking with natural cycles for a few more months and trying to go back to the basics - charting, living a more healthy lifestyle - so I can get a better picture of what's going on before we start treatment.

ChristieH917 · April 2014

My name is Christie and I am new to the 3T. We have been to TTC actively since October 2012 and started seeing the RE in September 2013. I had a have my right ovary and tube removed due to a very large cyst (just under 6 inches). Prior to having the cyst removed I had an HSG that showed both tubes open. After surgery the test was done again and the remaining tube was damaged in surgery and is now blocked. I will have to have IVF due to this. Right now I am waiting for AF then start BCP for May. If all goes well, I should have my first IVF cycle in June.

My favorite Easter tradition is the roasted lamb that my grandma would make. My family is Greek and Easter was big deal. We usually had about 50 people over for Easter dinner.

bocaburger · April 2014

@ChristieH917 welcome to 3T. I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. Wishing you luck for your IVF this summer and I hope your stay here is short!

RunCC37 · April 2014

FET #1 was a bust. We are heartbroken. Again. Our WTF is later this afternoon. My doctor says he has some ideas... I can't imagine anything working at this point.

@ky29, can you please change my entry?

**RunCC37 / Cici - TTC since 3/2012

dx: min endo, arcuate ute, poor embryo qual

treatment: drawing board...

jaytee16 · April 2014

@RunCC37 sending so many hugs your way, love

AFM, we were ready to do IUI#5 while looking into IVF until I got benched. RE doesn't think it's worth trying another IUI so we are taking this time to prepare to do IVF next cycle.
