~*~* TTC Again Check-In 4.30.14 *~*~
ccam

Hi ladies!
((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: What is your least favorite word?
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.
blueberries8 - 4/30 - This cycle we are just TTC on our own -- next cycle (in about 2 weeks) if all goes according to plan we will start a FET (our third FET overall but the first one for this time around).
Ducky719 – 4/30 - No updates here. Waiting for o so we can get started.
TTC, with treatments
Bellalou – 4/2 - U/S tomorrow. FX that there are no polyps or fluid and I'm leaving there with my transfer date instead of a surgery date. TBC.
Efhoping2010 – 4/30 - Waiting for May AF to have mock transfer/SIS and repeat bloodwork for me and DH. Hoping to get a mock calendar and med order soon too so I can shop around. Looking at IVF hopefully in July at clinic 1 out of state.
Prettyaccountant – 3/19 - Started Meds and had first ultrasound which showed nothing. 4 on one side and 6 on the other but all under 10. Combine that with the last analysis DH had showing 1 non motile sperm - and I feel like I am doomed here.
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.
STL34 – 4/30 - We will be doing IVF #5 (#2 TTC #2) beginning late May or early June!
trigirl79 - 4/30 - I POAS yesterday - BFN. Beta tomorrow so I'm holding out hope that it was just early.
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.
carrera317 – 4/30 - Wow. I guess I've been MIA for a while! 22 weeks here and doing ok. It's finally starting to settle into my infertile mind that I just might bring this baby home! Freak out time!!! All tests and our ultrasound have looked great. We went on a nice vacation to the Caribbean for our 10 year anniversary and now are starting to prep for this new one. It looks like I'm amongst good company with a due date of 9/2 but a probable c section the week before (just not the 29th cuz that's MY birthday!).
Kissies - 4/30 - So I'm 23 weeks now, went to ob this week and my b/p starting to elevate 130/90. I had her check my other arm and it was normal. The elevated arm is the arm I have carpal tunnel in and of course the 3 blood pressure checks made it act up! I got labs done as baseline and all looked good and urine was negative. Still on makena to prevent preterm labor (hate it makes me super emotional and cry like 24 hrs after taking it weekly). I'm afraid I'll be a nervous wreck come 28 weeks because that' when my water broke last time. Trying to stay calm and keep that blood pressure down
) I go back next week because of blood pressure.
LeoLauren - 1/15 - It's official. BFP x 2! Omg (what I'll be saying a lot for the next 7 months)!
Mnerani – 4/30 - Almost 18 weeks here. A/S on Monday- finding out the sex!
BabyKsMommy - EDD 11.27.14 - 4/16 - Well we have twins, both with a fetal pole. There also is an empty sac so we are going back on Friday to see how everything looks..
Good luck to everyone cycling!!

Ducky719 – 4/30 - No updates here. Waiting for o so we can get started.
Julie21613 - 4/30 - Not much going on here. BF DD for the last time on Sunday. :-( Now awaiting AF to arrive. Have consultation with RE next Thursday. Will just go over protocol and when AF arrives go in for day 3 blood work. Have no idea how long it will take for her to arrive!
lovemybellag - 4/30 - I am 32 DH 33 and we have a DD who is 14 months. Currently still BF and no PP yet although I have had some spotting last weekend. I tok an HPT but it was negative. Appt with dr end of month and then possible going back to RE depending on what OBGYN says. I just started temping. So we are anxiously awaiting some news as to what is going on, whether I am ovulating and whether we can try on our own or need to go stright to IUI. right now we are trying but by tring we are having sex when we can find the time.
mnj05 – 4/25 - No update for me, still bleeding every 2-3 weeks it seems and waiting for June to come around
phishgirl29 - 4/30 - Much of the same here. Still trying on our own. CD22 now. I will call my RE if this cycle is a bust.
TTC, with treatments
Bellalou – 4/2 - U/S tomorrow. FX that there are no polyps or fluid and I'm leaving there with my transfer date instead of a surgery date. TBC.
Efhoping2010 – 4/30 - Waiting for May AF to have mock transfer/SIS and repeat bloodwork for me and DH. Hoping to get a mock calendar and med order soon too so I can shop around. Looking at IVF hopefully in July at clinic 1 out of state.
emwaiting - 4/16 - We just did IUI #2 yesterday so in the 2WW at the moment. The u/s looked great with the sizes and number of follies but it has many other times so trying not to get my hopes up. The procedure itself went well and just a little achy today. Hopefully we will get a miracle in a couple weeks otherwise we are going back to IVF since that worked for #1. We just don't know when we will go back to the IVF because of the price tag on it!
fullfhope – 4/2 - I've not been on much, M is now walking and life seems to have gotten a lot busier! We decided to wait another cycle before starting the estrogen patch before IVF. So again, hopefully will get going in another 4 weeks or so. Basically, nothing to report.

itsmevkb - 3/26 - I am lining up what feel like a million appointments in preparation for what will hopefull be a FET this summer. So far I've see my endocrinologist and my thyroid as of right now is good. I have an appointment next week with my hematologist to discuss the wisdom of taking estrogen giving my history of a DVT, then at the end of April I'll go back for another pap test which had better be good and then it's on to the RE for whatever testing they will do. I have August in my head as to when I'd like to do the FET but I know that will be here before I know it (as I watch snow/sleet fall outside.)
Jenny935 - 4/30 - AF came last night. We knew there was a slim chance of it happening on our own, and since the only 2 times that's happened I've had a m/c I didn't know if I even wanted to risk it. But we did, and then I was a crazy person who paid attention to every little thing, (I even didn't have the boozy milkshake at dinner on Saturday that I really wanted!) and my boobs were sore (that never happens to me) and everything but then AF showed up. Starting BCP on Monday and then stims in early June. I'm staying on BCP an extra week or so to attempt to push ER to after the school year is over.
kmc84 - 4/30 - all our testing and labs are done as of today! We signed all out consents today and I had my pre op visit with the anasthesiologist. (When BIVF took over, they switched to propofol for ER ) So now I am just waiting for my calendar! I'm feeling so impatient!
Mayzie15 – 4/25 - I'm on day three of estrace and going to Accupuncture once a week. Taking about 20 vitamins etc a day and can't believe this cycle has started. I'm nervous and excited.
mdiblasi10 - 4/30 - Our IVF resulted in only one genetically normal embryo, a girl. I'm a week into my FET cycle, so about two more weeks to go. I'm terrified because I don't know what we will do if this transfer doesn't work. Big sigh.
Pam MG - 4/30 - IUI #1 was negative and we have started the next cycle. We did pick a donor and with all fingers crossed he will have great numbers for us! I have no idea who is going to watch D while it happens since DH will be at work and my mom has an eye appointment.

MoFree - 4/16 - Nothing new in terms of TTC. It won't happen spontaneously. I have to call the RE to schedule retesting for DH and me.
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... include your EDD!!
Mr.& Mrs. Woodtick – 4/30 - I will find out tomorrow (37 Weeks)if I am going to be induced on Friday. My AF levels were really low on Tuesday so I was sent to the hospital for an IV and told to drink lots of water and rest. I will get re-checked tomorrow morning and if my levels are still low Friday will be the day! I am really nervous about this and I pray that that my levels are up tomorrow from Tuesday.
Cwhitaker27 - 3/12 - 25 weeks today. Had my GTT on Monday. I haven't heard anything back, so far no news is good news. Continuing to be team green!
Eve_Angelique - 4/11 - Saw my little lady for the 4th time today, 2 weeks ago when I had my u/s they didn't get good enough pics of her spine, so I had another today, it was so good to see her squirming around in there!
Kdfecarie, EDD 8/29/14 (CS 8/22/14) - 4/30 - Almost 23 weeks here, i cant believe how fast its going, and the summer weather will bring many out door adventures which will pass time even faster, i cant believe i am going to have 2 kiddos!!!

Mnerani – 4/30 - Almost 18 weeks here. A/S on Monday- finding out the sex!
Ironmom2be - 4/2 - My update is I'm in limbo between RE & OB. First OB appt isn't for another two weeks. Since I was still spotting last week, my RE offered to have me come in for another u/s, so that's next tuesday (9w) I'm feeling ok, seems like exercising is causing the spotting (my scientific study) so I'm trying to balance staying active enough that I don't feel like a slug and doing too much to cause spotting. I'm tired and nauseous (at times) so I'm just counting my blessings and hoping the 1st tri is over asap so my worries can hopefully fade a little
BabyKsMommy - EDD 11.27.14 - 4/16 - Well we have twins, both with a fetal pole. There also is an empty sac so we are going back on Friday to see how everything looks..
ccam - EDD 11.29.14 - 4/30 - We had our first OB appointment today. Baby #2 is looking great, measuring 2 days ahead with a hb of 175. LO even "waved" at us Such a big difference since our last u/s with the RE two weeks ago.
Pennylane26 - EDD 11.26.14 - 4/16 - I am just over 9 weeks! Had another ultrasound this week to check on SCH and baby looks great! Had my first OB appointment to discuss high risk details. My HBP is regulated with my meds and looking great but my glucose is already high so I think GD is in the cards again for this pregnancy. But FX I can avoid Pre-E!!! Shared the news with our parents and sibs this past week and looking forward to telling everyone else in a few weeks.
srveatch – 4/25 - I just got released from the RE. I had my second u/s yesterday and everything looked healthy, I am measuring 1 day ahead at 8 weeks 1 day. I made an appointment with the OB for next week.

QOTD: I'm with ccam on this one. Although there are a lot of other "dirty" words that make my skin crawl.

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!

Sorry trigirl79 (hugs)
gl to those that need it.
Update: So I'm 23 weeks now, went to ob this week and my b/p starting to elevate 130/90. I had her check my other arm and it was normal. The elevated arm is the arm I have carpal tunnel in and of course the 3 blood pressure checks made it act up! I got labs done as baseline and all looked good and urine was negative. Still on makena to prevent preterm labor (hate it makes me super emotional and cry like 24 hrs after taking it weekly). I'm afraid I'll be a nervous wreck come 28 weeks because that' when my water broke last time. Trying to stay calm and keep that blood pressure down
) I go back next week because of blood pressure.
QOTW: I agree with "c" word and can't get over that people actually say hashtag outloud lol.
QOTW: I really dislike the word 'phlegm'!
