I fail again!! (TTC Again Check-In)

ccam · May 2014

Dang - sorry ladies!! I completely forgot the check-in yesterday....again. I'll update with the novel of check-in info later on tonight from my computer at home, I can't do it here at work.

So... update us!!

QOTW: I heard a lot of complaining about husbands this past weekend. How would you rate your SO as a parent on a scale of 1-10?

ETA: The good stuff....

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 – 5/15 - I'm somewhere in my cycle. No clue where to be honest. I've been a little on the fence w ttc again.

Julie21613 - 5/15 - Met with my RE on 5/8. Not much to report. She is ready to move forward when we are. Haven't gotten AF yet. Somedays I feel like she's arriving then it passes. I will go in for my day 3 bloodwork when she decides to make an appearance. DH and I decided we would continue to try on our own through the summer. This will DD's first summer and we want to enjoy every minute of it with her and not worry about injections, u/s & bloodwork. So looks like we will probably cycle in the fall.

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 – 5/15 - Nothing new here, a little under a month until our appointment.

phishgirl29 - 5/15 - Still trying on our own. Last cycle was a bust and I was supposed to call the RE but I haven't yet. I will though! I'm temping again which is "fun".

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.

blueberries8 - 5/15 - Started FET #3 today. What a range of emotions to jump back in to treatment -- fear, anxiety, excitement -- but one thing I am sure of is that this process seems a whole lot easier and less dire and frantic going into it with a living child.

Efhoping2010 – 5/15 - AF arrived four days early on Monday, maybe from the supplements. I am waiting for DH to have his phone surgical consult with the infertility urologist for his fresh PESA, he seems to be dragging his feet. Then I can schedule my SIS/mock transfer for hopefully next week and get my calendar/schedule for July.

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 – 5/7 - ER is set for Friday. I'm nervous...not for the procedure itself, but for the outcome.

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 - 5/15 - I needed two more coagulation labs run-one is back, the other should be back late tomorrow. The new RE wants another consult with me (via phone) on Monday to finalize details. He also wants clearance from my regular endocrinologist now!!!! Agggg! I'm so thankful that my nurse is a saint! We are cutting things too close now to get my meds on time, so she will give me whatever I need and then I'll replace what I use. I'm trying not to get too anxious

LauraBeth1401 - 5/15 - Had our consult with the RE on Tuesday. We are all good to go once AF arrives. Hoping it's soon although with my wonky cycles it's rather likely I'll have to take Provera (aka b**** pills) to get a period. *sigh* Looking at a possible July FET.

Mayzie15 – 5/15 - ER was on 05/12/14 - my RE was able to get 11 eggs and 8 fertilized with ICSI - I'm incredibly grateful. ET was on 05/15/14. We transferred 3 embryos, like we did on the cycle we conceived my son. The others are growing and hoping they go the distance and we are able to freeze at least three of them on Sunday. MH didn't make the transfer and was out of state - my acupuncturist was there and did help with the nerves. I've been careful carrying LO and MH is back tonight. Beta is on 05/26/14 - since it's Memorial Day and labs are closed - will probably schedule it for Tuesday.

mdiblasi10 - 5/15 - Our FET is complete and I'm 1dp6dt. I'm on bedrest until Saturday, so just sitting around. Which I am not good at, ha!

mg0202 - 5/15 - met with the RE. Looks like due to our schedules we will be doing the transfer early September. BCP should start the end of July and we will go from there.

Pam MG - 5/7 - DS IUI tomorrow, feeling really crampy tonight which I am going with is a good thing. We have 3 eggs this time unlike the only one last time.

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 - 5/15 - CD 11 BW and US today - 2 follies, lining good but the RE wants to do more BW and US tomorrow. So trigger tomorrow night, IUI on Sunday.

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.

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!!

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) - 5/15 - 25 weeks here, and a dr apt tomorrow for a check up, and to set up my GD test! things are moving along smoothly!

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 – 5/7 - My A/S this week showed a healthy boy measuring almost 19 weeks. We got some great photos of him and are super happy that everything is on track.

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 - 5/15 - Nothing much to update - 12w tomorrow and we'll be letting DH's extended family in on the news this weekend.

Pennylane26 - EDD 11.26.14 - 5/15 - Just waiting for the nausea to end! Lots of OB/MFM appointments. This high risk business is exhausting and overwhelming. But I am so thankful I am in this position, so excited for baby #2

srveatch – 5/15 - The results of my thyroid panel came back and they say I have Hyperthyroidism. Apparently it can make your MS worse than normal. I have been pretty sick lately and I am pretty freaked out about what this means for my pregnancy. I have an appointment with the Endocrinologist on Wednesday.

Babies are HERE!!!

Saraevh - Noah Christopher was born on December 3rd at 8:01am via c-section. He was 7lb 7oz and 19.5" long!

Cinciem - Wyatt Talbott S. was born on December 7th at 4pm, med free

McGeeva - Welcomed her lucky charm, Carter John, on 3.17.14 at 11:40am... in 8 inches of snow!! 7lbs 14oz, 20.5 inches...3/26 - No update really just hit two weeks with ds#2. Adjusting to having two which is a lot tougher then I thought. I swear it wouldn't be as bad if I wasn't hurting anymore. Hoping to feel better in a week or so.

Update: Started FET #3 today. What a range of emotions to jump back in to treatment -- fear, anxiety, excitement -- but one thing I am sure of is that this process seems a whole lot easier and less dire and frantic going into it with a living child.

QOTW: I hesitate to assign a number though I will say overall he is pretty great though I wish he was around more and got to spend more time with N and I also wish he was better at cleaning up messes

mnj05 · May 2014

Nothing new here, a little under a month until our appointment.

QOTW: my husband is a 9-10 most days. He does really well with splitting duties with me and giving me breaks for alone time.

boymomstrong · May 2014

25 weeks here, and a dr apt tomorrow for a check up, and to set up my GD test!

things are moving along smoothly!

QOTD: my husband is an amazing dad, i love to see him play with and take care of our son, i do wish he was more strict on schedule though... My kid needs his routine!

trigirl79 · May 2014

CD 11 BW and US today - 2 follies, lining good but the RE wants to do more BW and US tomorrow. So trigger tomorrow night, IUI on Sunday.

QOTW: Of course I have my complaints, but overall H is an awesome dad. He loves being with her, playing with her, happily does bed/bath while I get a break. Sometimes I need to remind him about schedules, naps, etc but I'll take it

mdiblasi10 · May 2014

Hugs and good thoughts to everyone.

Our FET is complete and I'm 1dp6dt. I'm on bedrest until Saturday, so just sitting around. Which I am not good at, ha!

QOTW: perfect timing for this question as DH has full time parenting duty right now. Typically he handles most of the chores and I handle most of Grayson duty. And it works great for us. He is a great Dad and is really helping a lot during all my procedures, doctor appointments and rest.

PennyLane26 · May 2014

GL @mdiblasi10 !!!

Update: Just waiting for the nausea to end! Lots of OB/MFM appointments. This high risk business is exhausting and overwhelming. But I am so thankful I am in this position, so excited for baby #2.

QOTW: DH is a 10 for sure. Where he would rate on the husband scale may differ… I kid, I kid

kmc84 · May 2014

Update: I needed two more coagulation labs run-one is back, the other should be back late tomorrow. The new RE wants another consult with me (via phone) on Monday to finalize details.

QOTW: DH is a great dad! I don't want to assign a number, but he's up there

he is great at sharing baby duties. He loves to cuddle and read to her, get her ready for bed, bath time-all of it! I consider myself very lucky!

Mr. & Mrs. Woodtick · May 2014

Update: Sawyer has his first dr. appointment tomorrow.

QOTW: DH may suck when it comes to getting gifts and surprises for me, but he is a great dad! He just needs to not be so nervous. I'd give him at 8.5

phishgirl29 · May 2014

Still trying on our own. Last cycle was a bust and I was supposed to call the RE but I haven't yet. I will though! I'm temping again which is "fun".

QOTW: he's a 10 as a dad. He's pushing an 8.5 as a husband these days, but he's a great daddy!

efhoping2010 · May 2014

Update: AF arrived four days early on Monday, maybe from the supplements. I am waiting for DH to have his phone surgical consult with the infertility urologist for his fresh PESA, he seems to be dragging his feet. Then I can schedule my SIS/mock transfer for hopefully next week and get my calendar/schedule for July.

QOTW: I would give a DH a 9 as a parent, he is amazing with our twins. As a husband more like a 5 or 6. When I was pregnant more like a 3.

ccam · May 2014

I'm getting a kick out of the husband ratings!

Update: Nothing much to update - 12w tomorrow and we'll be letting DH's extended family in on the news this weekend.

QOTW: I agree with a lot of you that DH is rating higher as a Dad lately than he is a husband! Although I probably don't rate too high in the wife category lately either! DH is an amazing father. I always knew he'd be great at it but he goes above and beyond. I don't know what I'd do without him, especially lately. He's literally DS's best friend. He's very hands on and I love watching them together.

mayzie021 · May 2014

update on me - ER was on 05/12/14 - my RE was able to get 11 eggs and 8 fertilized with ICSI - I'm incredibly grateful. ET was on 05/15/14.

Beta is on 05/26/14 - since it's Memorial Day and labs are closed - will probably schedule it for Tuesday.

QOTW - MH is easily an 8 or 9 - he's very patient and really loves our son - they have a special connection that I'm thankful for and really adore each other.

Julie21613 · May 2014

Met with my RE on 5/8. Not much to report. She is ready to move forward when we are. Haven't gotten AF yet. Somedays I feel like she's arriving then it passes. I will go in for my day 3 bloodwork when she decides to make an appearance. DH and I decided we would continue to try on our own through the summer. This will DD's first summer and we want to enjoy every minute of it with her and not worry about injections, u/s & bloodwork. So looks like we will probably cycle in the fall.

QOTW: DH does get a 10 in parenting. He is amazing with Maggie.....he is very hands on.

srveatch · May 2014

Update: The results of my thyroid panel came back and they say I have Hyperthyroidism. Apparently it can make your MS worse than normal. I have been pretty sick lately and I am pretty freaked out about what this means for my pregnancy. I have an appointment with the Endocrinologist on Wednesday. QOTW: DH is definitely a 9 as a father . He takes A to daycare everyday and picks her up. He also watches her whenever I have to travel for work with no complaints. They have fun together! Husband rating is another story but I'm not rating as a great wife lately either:)
