Welcome to the weekly check-in!
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?
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.
QOTW: What is one of the silliest fights you've ever had with your SO?

Re: -:- 3T Weekly Check-In -:-
My DX has been updated to be PCOS. I have the high LH/fsh ratio, high Amh, and from ultrasound they think that's what it is. I had a feeling but I don't have any of the physical characteristics. I'm glad they finally told me a DX but my RE said he doesn't like to put labels on things because people get worried and start googling everything haha.
Anyway, I had my monitoring appointment on Friday and I had two follies about 20mm and a good lining (I think 10mm?) They gave me my trigger at the office since they were big enough and we are hopefully done with TI now. I need a day off! I start the progesterone supps tomorrow (can't wait!!!). I'm probably going to test out my trigger just since it's the first time. I'm excited to actually be in a 2WW for once!!
QOTW: We had an argument about who got to drink the last glass of wine. I wanted more but my DH had already drank it and I was mad he didn't save me any. I didn't want to open another bottle just for one more glass. I figure if that's all we have to argue about, that's pretty good.
QOTW: We rarely ever fight - usually only on a Friday night when we both want to go out to dinner but can't decide where to go. We are always super hungry, and nothing ever sounds good to either one of us. First world problems for sure...

***CP mentioned***
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.
1. What is your name (if you want to share)?
2. When did you start TTC (month/year)?
I like to think 8/2013 because that's when we started BBT and OPKs and expertly timed intercourse.
3. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)?
MFI
4. What treatments are you doing?
DH is on clomiphene and vitamins. We'll be doing our first IUI next month--a medicated cycle, assuming a huge cyst on my ovary has subsided.
QOTW: Okay, so all of you who say you "never" fight, I don't care if you're telling the truth, I choose not to believe you. @iputketchuponketchup I am with you, every fight is clearly life-or-death important, and it's really tiring being right all the time, too. I guess our silly fight (but seriously, I'm telling you, it's important and I'm right!) is over opening the windows for fresh air. I do, he doesn't. I looooove fresh air, he apparently thrives on stuffy, humid air. So these windows get a lot of exercise going up and down....
@emilee871 Yay for a positive opk
@.Mrs.Matt Good luck taking the meds while camping!
@bibliothecary Glad you got the referrals! My DH changes the order too and he still doesn't get that it changes what I want to have!
@Buttmonkey34 Glad your follies are growing! Sorry about the bruise from the bloodwork! That doesn't sound fun!
@Diordra Glad you got most of the testing done, sorry you couldn't get the results earlier! Do you have a patient log in? I looked at mine even before we had the follow up so that I could see what the results were.
@SnakeFisherBub I'm sorry, that sounds very difficult.
@MrsLolaSky Good luck next month! The story about your fight is funny! It's cute that you still remember it!
@iPutKetchupOnKetchup Hope you can get your blood testing started soon! My AF right before this cycle decided to wait almost two weeks after the prometrium just to be a bitch! Hope it comes sooner for you!
@StacyLH24 Sorry about the bfn. Good luck with the FET!
@Autumray Yay for a relaxing 2ww! good luck!
@Diordra That's good! I'm terrible at not googling everything! I was also so anxious to know what the results were so it was nice to see them ahead of time. Hope you can get a follow up soon!
@catlover790 - I’m so happy you’re having a good response to your first medicated cycle! Good luck, and I hope your 2WW goes fast and ends well
@ronniesgirl1981 - Good luck with the ER!!
@bibliothecary - YAY for getting your referral!!! Here’s hoping for answers
@Buttmonkey34 - I’m glad to hear your IVF is progressing well so far. Good luck with triggering and the ER!!
@StacyLH24 - I’m so sorry about the BFN. Good luck with the FET.
@BunnyBerry - Good luck on Tuesday!!
@ChristieH917 - I’m so sorry you’re benched. September will be here before you know it.
Me: 28 MH:35
Married September 2012. TTC since September 2013
June 2014 - Dx w/ significant PCOS and referred to RE.
July/August 2014 - Testing complete: Testosterone & AMH very high, FSH slightly high, Vitamin D low, tubes and lining all lovely. DH SA: A+
Cycle 1 (Nov 2014): 2.5 mg Letrozole/Ovidrel/TI = BFN
Cycle 2 (Dec 2014): 5 mg Letrozole/Ovidrel/TI - BFN
Cycle 3 (Jan 2015): 5mg Letrozole/Ovidrel/TI - BFN
WTF consult scheduled for 1/29
I totally understand! I hope they can get it scheduled this cycle; I think it should work out!!
@LindseyM2012 Thank you! I hope you can get your follow-up and start ovulating soon! Your argument is something we have had too! My H started growing his out and I hated it! He finally shaved it recently and it looks so much better! I hate the scratchy feeling!
@steen9713 Good luck! I hope you respond well!
@BlueJoan Good luck!!! I am so hopeful for you!! Also, loves your argument story; my DH takes bites that are too big and doesn't leave any!
2. When did you start TTC? January 2012
3. What is your diagnosis? Ovulatory Dysfunction
4. What treatments are you doing? Clomid. IUI #1 was last month and I go for month 2 initial testing tomorrow.
Sawyer Ryanne due Jan 1, 2017
TTC since May 2012
HSG- all clear
March 2014 - RE appt.
April 2014- Saline sono all's good, terrible SA results - 8 sperm found all abnormal
May 2014- Fert Urology- Bilateral varicoceles, recommend Donor Sperm
12/2014- Surprise natural BFP EDD 7/31/15 Plan: Starting foster to adoption, natural cycles
QOTW: Our only arguments come from trying to decide where to go out to eat. After reading these responses I see that that's pretty common! DH has a tendency to get "hangry" when it's time for him to eat so that doesn't help the situation!

What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? I have endo blocking my R tube, a 1.8cm endo spot on my R ovary. Left tube is open but my RE wants to do surgery to remove endo and see if the left tube is really open or if it has some small endo blocking.
What treatments are you doing? So far just natural things like acupuncture, fertility tea, arvigo maya abdominal massage (daily self care), cut out coffee (except for once a week maybe) and cut back on wine and weed. RE wants to do lapro surgery for endo but said since my egg reserve is OK I can wait to try naturally more.
For everyone who is up to date on the above, where are you in your current cycle and how's it going?
I think this is 2 dpo or maybe 3. My temp went up over 3 days so I'm not sure. But last Tuesday the RE said my follicle on Left side (good side) was 18, and he thought I'd O on Thursday. My temp didn't go up significantly until yesterday though.
QOTW: What is one of the silliest fights you've ever had with your SO?@TiffW2012 Hope you respond well to femara! Good luck!
@kushie77 Hope your meeting with the adoption lady goes well today!!
@kmdecoux I'm so hopeful for you!! FX!
@Radiantly I hope you O'd from the good side! Also, I love the colorful post!
@Rcvb22 That's good news! I hope you can proceed with ivf soon. Hope you hear back from your Dr! Good luck!
Since iui # 2 was a BFN, we had our ivf consult today. It went pretty well. I took a whole list of questions, so I felt well prepared. Our RE gave me the option to start bc pills today ( since it's cycle day 3) and get started asap. I didn't really feel we were ready to jump right in though. I have a hysterosonogram scheduled for next week. DH and I also have to have b/w to check for infectious diseases. Basically the ivf nurse is going through our chart and seeing if there is anything additional that we need to do, and she is going to email us with a detailed price list plus the medication protocol that we will be using.
DH wants to wait a few cycles, because he completely cut out alcohol last week and he wants to give his sperm a chance to get into the best shape possible. They told me to start the bc pills the cycle before we want to get started, so our plan right now is to cycle in early November
QOTW: We fight all the time about the curtains being open in our family room. I want them open, so I can see the sun as soon as I wake up. He would sit in a dark room like a vampire all day if I let him, which I think is really gross and depressing.
TTC #1 January 2009
January 2010 SA results: Count 16 million, Motility 40%, Morphology 2%
January 2010- Surprise BFP! DS born 10/1/2010
January 2013 TTC #2
September 2013 Repeat SA: Count= 1.7 million, Motility= 24%, Morphology= 2%
November 6th 1st Appointment with RE: diagnosed with severe MFI
Testing to try to determine a cause & possible treatment for MFI
CD 3 blood work for me. RE does not want to repeat my HSG/lap at this point,
but may want to before moving forward with any fertility treatments.
After seeing the uro, DH is currently taking lots of supplements and clomid to try to boost his count. We will have a repeat SA in February to see if it works.
Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1%
Uro wants us to have another follow up SA 5/9 to see if we see further improvement than we are back to the RE to make a game plan.
SA 5/9/2014 Count: 12 Million, Motility: 60%, and Morphology 2%. We will be doing iui #1 in late June
IUI #1 6/28 clomid + ovidrel, post wash count 3 million total sperm= BFN
IUI # 2 7/21 clomid+ ovidrel. post wash count 900,000 total sperm= BFN
IVF planned for early November- cancelled due to cyst
December IVF #1- 22 eggs, 20 mature,16 fertilized
