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.

theholmanherd · August 2014

I will be home in a week! And then I will be TTC again.

Q: I'm a second hand girl. I like name brands, but can't afford to buy them new all the time. So, usually, I find them at Goodwill or another second hand shop. One of my favorite ones is down the street from me and always has a majority of their clothes without any set prices. They will do sales like "10 untagged items for $8" or something like that. I don't always find good stuff there, but when I do, it's like winning the lottery because I'm paying so little for it.

ky29 · August 2014

Today is my 8th day of stims, and I had my 3rd follie check this morning. I had 9 between 14-17. And another 12 or so between 11-13. They are watching my E2 closely though - hoping it doesn't come back over 3000. I should be getting that call soon - and any dosage changes.

DH is extra hopeful - that they will get close to 20 eggs. He said he wants us to get 'oodles of embryos', and he said that 'oodles' is the proper medical term. I reminded him that my RE estimates only 25% of eggs retrieved will make it to the embryo stage.

ETA: my e2 came back at 2100! Which the dr was very happy with. Phew. He upped my follistim up from 50 to 100. So I go back Tuesday for my next (possibly last) scan!!

QOTW: I think one of my favorite places is express - especially when I have gift cards/coupons!

theholmanherd · August 2014

@ky29, good luck! And I love Express. I have so many clothes from them.

[Deleted User] · August 2014

The user and all related content has been deleted.

emmuffy · August 2014

@ky29‌ love the phrase oodles of embryos! Fx for you, sounds like you're well on the way! I just started the stims last night!! Hoping for lots of embies but with my low AMH I'd be doing very well to get 10 or more. I'm on 300 gonal, so,pretty high dose, trying to get as much as I can

RunCC37 · August 2014

I hope you do get oodles of embryos @ky29‌

has a nice ring to it!!

My Update: my results are being posted from my testing with Dr. KK. I was able to interpret them with help from a friend and Dr. Google (dangerous!!). In addition to my uterine blood flow issues, it seems that I have a blood clotting issue and a few abnormal results that point toward an autoimmune disease.... I am anxiously awaiting my follow up on Sept 29, and am scheduled to see my RE on Sept 10. It's going to be a little while before our next cycle, but I hope all this will be worth it. I'm getting to the end of my rope with all this.

QOTW: my favorite place to shop for clothes is at the running store... I love athletic gear and wish I could wear it 24/7!!!

BunnyBerry · August 2014

I just wanted to say, Wow August was an amazing month for BFPs, even with IUI and natural cycles! Gives a girl a little hope.

Taking OPKs to time IUI #1, should be this week. Giving myself a pep talk to go BD since it still hurts post surgery. -_-

ETA Update: BDing was fabulous. Good job, DH.

QOTW: Always find great things at TJMaxx, also love Banana Republic on sale. Often have luck for teacher clothes at JCPenney. Shoes at DSW. Tomorrow, DH and mom and I have a date to shop AmVets 50% off sale!

This summer I cleaned out all the too-small, worn out, or just disliked stuff and gave myself close to a 40-hanger closet where everything fits and looks good and matches. The best feeling ever, now it's easy to shop because I only buy something if it is up to the standard of what's already there and if it's on my list of needs.

AnnaClaire256 · August 2014

CD 10 for me. My first monitoring appt is on Tuesday. FX I'm ready to go. If so, IUI #2 should be Thursday morning.

QOTW: Most of my work clothes are from Express, Banana Republic or New York and Co. My casual clothes mostly come from Old Navy or Target.

wanderlust508 · September 2014

Benched while preparing for surgery. Finally have a surgery date - Nov 5th! I got my 1st shot of Lupron last Thu. So far I've had some headache here and there but overall the side effects haven't been terrible. I'm bummed that I'll be benched til at least January ... but hanging in there and grateful to have a new surgery plan that I'm more comfortable with.

QOTW: I love Anthropologie, Banana Republic and Macy's

Kcheese · September 2014

Only 2 days into my 2WW on our last IUI. Have already discussed with MD moving on to IVF, but will have our official consult if this cycle is BFN.

QOTW: Most of my clothes come from either kohl's, ny&co, or a second hand store. I don't object to anywhere that is having a sale/clearance!

steen9713 · September 2014

started CD 1 today, and get an ultrasound to check for cyst on Tuesday and start first round of Letrozole. Still continuing the metformin but finished the provera.

hoping for some progress and ovulation with the letrozole.

QOTW: I love to shop at JC Penny's!

Autumray · September 2014

Well I am on CD17. RE office decided to Cancel my trigger due to slow growth of follies (CD15 only an 11 and 13 up from a 9and 11 on cd12).We arent out (til AF shows lol) this month RE suggested to still try considering I may just O late. They are going to figure out what to do next month since I O so late. (19-24 usually) hoping a little earlier though my OPK seems to be getting much darker though so I am hoping I O on my own again and we are BD EOD as to catch the timing FX I wont have to use my Ovidrel next month! (However thats a lotta scratch to waste!) I am not giving up thiis cycle!!! (even though I really want to) Now me and DH are planning on going to ride roller coasters on Tues. I need some fun and fried food!!!!

QOTW: Dots was my favorite store to get clothes! But they went belly up... Now I dont have a clue where to go!!!!=( (I bought so much stuff though when they went out of buisness this spring I should be set for quite a while lol)

Radiantly · September 2014

Hi ladies
I am Oing around now. I haven't been temping the last 2 months because I've been trying to de-stress. I did the last couple days because I wanted to catch the upswing but I can't tell now if I have or not. Friday I had tons of EWCM (second month with EW-- in the last it's just been watery) and we BD Friday night, skipped Saturday (I always seem to skip that one day every single month!) and BD yesterday morning with the OPK++. I havnt had O pains this month (every month is so different). I guess we will BD today too and tomorrow. A lot of BDing!

Thinking about envisioning clearing the endo from my tubes. I am going to call my RE ad ask about how hard it is to schedule the lap surgery in November. He said he does it Thursdays so you can be back to work Monday. My work schedule is not nailed down for November yet. I run corporate events so the fall is only starting to fill in. I have a very busy October and early December.

As for shopping I like ESPRIT but they closed all the US stores dammit. I shopped there in Paris in Feb and very thing I bought gets compliments. Otherwise I have a high quality problem. Love Frye boots ... Drool... I get jeans at Joes jeans. I also like camping and went to Freeport Maine this month and got the most awesome stuff at Horny Toad. Fleece lined sweatshirt! Macys is good too for the racks If I'm in the mood.

This board means so much to me. Thanks all!

rachelkeller · September 2014

I just found this board this morning, and I have already been reading for hours.

My name is Rachel.

We have been TTC since Aug. 2012 (On our own for one year, and for the past year with my OBGYN and now RE)

I was diagnosed with PCOS in Aug. 2013, and do not ovulate.

I am currently using Follistim (dose 225, but not responding yet) Hoping for more information and to see some follicle growth at my appointment tomorrow.

AnnaClaire256 · September 2014

Welcome to 3T @rachelkeller‌! Glad you found us! The ladies here are amazing for support and advice. You should post a new discussion with your full intro just in case anyone misses it here.

Edit: Never mind you already did! Ha! You've got this!

je333206 · September 2014

I've been on the board for a few weeks just haven't checked in yet.
My name is Jill and my husband and I have been ttc since June of 2013, I have PCOS. We are on our second month of femara + ovidrel and are now currently in the 2ww.

I'm a shopper and will go anywhere, but J. Crew and Gap are my favorites

MrsS728 · September 2014

Welcome @rachelkeller. I was also diagnosed with PCOS in August 2013. I hope you stay is short but you enjoy these ladies as much as I do while you are here.

shirleymaeby · September 2014

I am 10dp IUI #3. So still in 2ww hell. This one has been harder than usual. I usually don't get the sore bb's until about 5 days before AF shows up but they have been sore this month since like 3 dp IUI. I realize it's probably because of the trigger shot, but I can't help hoping that it's the real thing this time. I can POAS on Friday and I am determined to make it all the way to Friday before testing. The last two cycles I got AF right after testing so I really want to try to wait it out.

QOTW: Mostly Old Navy and Target. I spend a lot of time daydreaming about stuff at Anthropologie but I've never actually bought anything from there.

aves0708 · September 2014

Hi!! First good luck to all the ladies in the TWW and ((hugs)) to anyone who is having a rough IF week.

I am 2/3 days past IUI's. I go in tomorrow for progesterone check and then I wait. I stopped by the dollar store to grab some cheapie tests so I can test out my trigger, but I really have zero expectations for this cycle. DH has great numbers, but the freezing and washing seriously cut those numbers down so I guess we'll see. DH is very hopeful, he thinks even frozen his guys can "get the job done". He makes me smile

.Mrs.Matt. · September 2014

Unfortunately moving on to IUI #5. I had a hard time last week, I'm just so tired of this!! I wish we could do ivf now but hopefully insurance will cover it early next year. Probably taking a true break after this one.

Qotw: old navy, h & m, and target!

Edit: Forgot to mention my first round of Gonal F last month left me with a small cyst, apparently not big enough to disrupt the next cycle... I'm hoping it disappears and doesn't get larger with more stims! Good luck to everyone this week!

stace2524 · September 2014

Currently at 11dpiui, got a BFN this AM which was a bummer. Planning on testing again tomorrow to be sure.

Question for you ladies: my beta is scheduled for Thursday, if I get a BFN again tomorrow I'm going to call my RE to add a consult for next steps. Would it be safe to assume I can stop the Crinone? I'm going to ask my RE as well but I don't want to prolong my period any more if it's coming anyways!

QOTW: @Rcvb22‌ we are shopping twins! I love Zara and H&M and get tons of my clothes there!

CarSaidYes · September 2014

Day 4 of clomid here. I got to the dr on Monday and I hope to see some good sized follies. Cycle is going well so far. Does anyone have exhaustion and no appetite side affects from the clomid? Kinda annoying. My fav place to shop is Macys.

Edit to add following I for for @ky29‌ 1. What is your name (if you want to share)?Car 2. When did you start TTC (month/year)?April 2014 3. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? PCOS 4. What treatments are you doing? IUI (#1)

Autumray · September 2014

Who the heck knows whats going on with my cycle..... I am on CD19 FF says 3DPO which I dont believe since CD15 I had only an 11mm and 13mm follie so unless them follies had miracle grow overnight then its gotta be wrong. Anyway.... Friday follies hadnt made much change so RE decided to cancel my Trigger this cycle (due to the holiday weekend I assume) Told me we can hope I O on my own and try to just BD EOD til then. So I suppose we wait and see. ~X( #-o stupid body...

TLooney17 · September 2014

I am on cd 5 of a natural cycle. I have to admit I am kind of enjoying these non medicated cycles. My skin is finally back to normal and I had very few leading cramps leading up to AF compared to what I had on my iui cycles. I am also way less stressed even with planning for ivf.

We received our estimated cost for IVF #1, and it is better than I thought it would be . I also emailed the ivf nurse last week letting her know what day ( October 16th) I plan on starting bcp's. I asked for an idea of how the cycle would go from there and what meds they thought I would be using. They are going to get so sick of me. Lol!

I like to shop at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I get a lot of my work clothes at New York & CO. I also like to shop online at The Blue Door Boutique. It's one of my favorites!

laughlovelive2011 · September 2014

Moving on to IUI #2 if all goes well. Had my first really rough IF week when I received my BFN while on vacation. Trying to be optimistic but not wanting to be heartbroken at the same time. So thankful for the 3T community.

QOTW: I love shopping at NY&C!

Started TTC August 2012
Dxed with unexplained infertility
Planning on IUI #2 if all goes well (currently CD2)

kristyn831 · September 2014

Hysteroscopy is scheduled for Friday. That should check out fine and then RE will submit for IVF-ICSI. DH had follow-up SA last week. 1.9 million total sperm with 0% morph. I'm scared. Every time, DH results are worse. Urologist found no cause and bloodwork was completely normal. ICSI appears to be our only hope for ever having children. I'm not gonna lie, I'm somewhat devastated by all this news but I need to keep it together. If DH keeps getting worse results, we will need to freeze sperm before he gets to 0.

GTKY: Premium outlets. I always get great deals and great clothes there.
