Hi ladies!
Good luck to those ladies cycling!!
((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.
A check-in will be posted every week. Please 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.
Once you get pregnant please post about your first and second beta then move over to the pregnancy check in.
QOTW: If you could take a free trip to 3 places in the world where would you go?
TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!"
Jessylane8- 7/16 I got AF Monday so another 8 day LP. I am really disappointed that it didn't get longer. I completely weaned DS on Sunday and I am adding B6 this cycle. If it doesn't get longer I will probably ask the OB for progesterone. We can't go back to the RE until January for insurance purposes.
mnj05 – 7/16 Nothing new to update. Should be calling in about a week and a half to do blood work for provera.
TTC, with treatments
Bellalou – 6/18 Aiming
for a fresh cycle on the house in October.
blueberries8 - 5/29 - FET #3 was a
no-go because none of the embryos continued to develop after
thawing I stopped my meds and now I am just waiting to get AF and on
June 12 I meet with the RE to come up with a new plan.
Efhoping2010 -7/16 Hopefully going to CO next week for my ODWU for IVF/ICSI #4
emwaiting – 6/18We
are currently off all meds and just seeing what will happen on our own.
Praying for that little miracle to happen. You know be one of those that
can say "it will happen when you quit trying!" ha I will be 6
wks tomorrow from my last period so that is frustrating that it won't come on
it's own. If it isn't here in another week then they will do a blood test
to make sure I'm not prego and then do the meds to start my period. Kinda
hard to have that miracle without my period or ovulating. We had to do
IVF to get our DS so we are thinking we will have to go down that road again so
time to save $$ again!
fullfhope – 6/4 - I have my follow
up with RE on 6/12.
jmorta04-7/16 Things
are still the same over here. Doing Estrace 2x a day and increase to 3x a day
on Friday. Lining check on Saturday morning and hopefully on track for a FET
next Thursday.
itsmevkb -6/25 The mock transfer and hysteroscopy were all normal so I'm on track to start estrace in late July and due a FET mid August.
kmc84 – 7/16 Lining check yesterday-on schedule for FET next Thursday, upped estrogen to 3 times a day. Lining check this Friday.
KDR19179-7/16 I haven't been on the bump in awhile because I have been busy with the twins and work, but we are in the process of going back for our single frozen embryo. We don't tell many people IRL when we are going through IVF cycles, so I would love to talk about it somewhere! CD day 1 was July 10, I saw the RE on Monday. I'm taking estradiol 2mg 3x daily. I go back on 7/21 for an ultrasound and blood draw. The embryo transfer is scheduled for 7/28. We only have 1 embryo left and it has about a 65% chance of surviving thaw. If it survives thaw, it has a 27-30% chance of pregnancy. I love swimming, but don't get to do it much. I never thought I would want a pool until we had kids. If we had a pool, I think I would swim every day in the Summer!
LauraBeth1401 – 7/16 Had a lining check on Monday. Everything went well with that. I start progesterone tomorrow night and still on Delestrogen every 3 days. Anxious for the transfer next Wednesday and even more anxious for what comes after that. QOTW ~ I do like to swim and liked it as a kid. I don't go as much as I used to but I do want to get DD into swim lessons this fall or next year.
Mayzie15 – 6/25 I have my first official pregnancy in take appt tomorrow. I'm really nervous and know I'm going to be lectured on my age, genetic screenings and testing. I hate seeing the statistics of my age group. Last time the genetics counselor fought really hard for us to do the amino and we said no and are in that camp again. I'm hoping for another U/S and to get the heart rate this time.
mg0202 -7/16 Just waiting on AF and I will be starting BCP for our FET. Transfer will hopefully be early September.
Pam MG – 7/16 3rd
DS IUI was a big bust and am wondering if it was because I was on drugs for a
UTI up until the day before or if because I triggered a day early because they
were all so big. I am really nervous about this next one because it will likely
happen the day after my birthday which means finding out on Declan second
birthday and they day we head out for a week long vaca at the beach with my
entire family. The good news is the doc actually listened to me for once
instead of pushing IVF (told him they needed to give me a huge discount or help
me figure this IUI situation out) and added another drug in besides Femera.
trigirl79 - 6/4 - Beta was negative
on Tuesday. We're taking a break in June, I'll do temps and OPKs but no meds.
AF arrived yesterday, which is actually good news since hopefully it means my
body is finally regulated.
ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon
MoFree –7/9 I am starting BCPs in August and hoping ET is around 6 weeks later.
STL34-7/16 After our last failed IVF cycle, I am currently TTC without treatments. I am working to get my arthritis and other issues back under control right now. I've also started some supplements that I discussed with my RE and I have an appointment scheduled for a second opinion consult at the end of August. After that, we have to save up the money to pay for another cycle and decide if it makes sense to try again.
Phishgirl29- 7/16 I guess you could say I'm taking a break now while I wait for my operative hysteroscopy to remove scar tissue. FET is on hold for a couple of months while I recover (or if at all depending on how much scar tissue they find).
