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: Where is your favorite place to shop for clothes?

Re: -:- 3T Weekly Check-In -:-
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.
PCOS | Anovulatory | Metformin + Letrozole
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!

PCOS | Anovulatory | Metformin + Letrozole
Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).
We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).
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!!!
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.

QOTW: I love to shop at JC Penny's!
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!
Edit: Never mind you already did! Ha! You've got this!

-----------------------------------SIGGY WARNING-------------------------------------
Me: 31| DH: 36
TTC #1 Since 07/2010
DX: Unexplained Infertility
TX:
IUI #1 on 7/3/14 100 mg Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI (44 million sperm, 1 dominant follie) = BFN
IUI #2: on 7/28/14 100 mg Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI (23 million sperm, 2 dominant follies) = BFN
IUI #3 on 8/22/2014 100 mg Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI (53 million sperm, 2 dominant follies)= BFP MMC @ 7weeks
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
DH (29): SA Perfect
TTC Since Jan '13, First RE Appt Jan '14

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!
Unexplained IF, Hypothyroidism
IUI's 1 - 3: Femara + Ovidrel = BFN
IUI's 4 - 5: Femara + Gonal F + Ovidrel = BFN
IVF Jan 2015. 21R/18F/15 still growing on day 2
Transferred two beautiful embies on day 2, beta 1/29
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!

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!
TTC #1 January 2009
January 2010 SA results: Count 16 million, Motility 40%, Morphology 2%

November 6th 1st Appointment with RE: diagnosed with severe 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
