Trouble TTC

-:- 3T Weekly Check-In -:-

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.

    Married and started TTC in July 2013

    "Diagnosed" with unexplained infertility
    Oct 2014 IUI #1: 100mg clomid/HCG trigger/2 mature follicles/18mil post wash sperm count: BFP!!!

  • IUI #4 was a bust for me, moving on to IVF... BCPs for Sept and Oct and ER/ET in November! Have gone through the range of emotions this cycle but I LOVE my RE so we're pretty excited and hopeful about IVF. Initially I was adamant about no breaks, let's just keep plugging away, but am now looking forward to some time where DH and I can focus on us and not worry about hormones and timing and appointments.

    My hubby is a waaaaaay better cook than me so he does most of the cooking. I do on occasion just to help out/be nice, but his meals are always better so I try to stick to baking.

  • QOTW: Depends. If we are going the I have zero interest in cooking freezer meal route, it is me. One day of prep results in a months worth of meals, typically. Otherwise, it is him. Unless he starts messing with the ratio of milk and butter to sponge bob mac n' cheese on throw-back night, which we have on a monthly basis. This is a night where anything is game: lunchables and capri-sun with vodka, spaghettios, dino nuggets & character mac, lunchables, hot dogs etc. Sorry, but I am ridiculously picky about my Kraft Mac and the characters taste different than the noodles. Don't care what you say. Any differentiation in ratio of milk, butter and water is likely to result in the permanent damage of what is left of the few positive childhood memories I have.

    We hate sweets, so we splurge once a month by acting like 4th graders. Welcome to The Ketchup's.


    Edited for spelling.
    I LOVE lunchables and dino nuggets! Every now and then I'll pick them up just to relive my childhood :) Unfortunately, my DH doesn't share my love of lunchables.

    **EVERYONE WELCOME!! :)**

  • Hi All,

    No new news since my RE appointment a couple weeks ago. I'm going in for more blood work next week to check on thyriod levels but other than that I'm just going to continue to try losing weight before jumping deep into treatments. I have follow up appointments with my regular endocrinologist, as well as my RE, in October.

    Good luck everyone!

    Me: 27, PCOS. DH: 28, TBD.

    Married since August 8, 2009

    2009-2011: TTC 12+mo. Irregular periods, normal blood work.
    2012 - 07/2013: Baby plans on hold. Back on BCP.
    07/2013 - 06/2014: Off BCP to try again. Completely absent periods. High testosterone. Referred to Endocrinologist.
    07/24/2014: PCOS diagnosis. Lifestyle changes before determining next steps...
    08/16/2014; CD1!! (Provera)
    08/26/2014: RE Consultation. Plan is to continue weight loss, prescribed levothyroxine (50mcg) for slightly high TSH.

  • Completed my first round of letrozole I have an appt on Wednesday to check for foliculea and size. *fingers crossed*

    QOTW: I do most of the cooking my DH helps chop veggies or small things or cooks when I won't have time :)
  • 1. Radiantly
    2. Started TTC in Dec 2013, NTNP starting in Feb 2013
    3. Endometrioma 1.8cm on R ovary, blocked R tube
    4. Treatments - all natural for now. Acupuncture, maya massage, some herbs, cut out caffeine and limiting alcohol (it really dries me out and my acupuncturist said i need to hydrate hydrate hydrate)

    For everyone who is up to date on the above, where are you in your current cycle and how's it going?

    I'm in the 2WW, around 4 DPO.  Last month was a L ovulation so if this month is R, my chances are low b/c it is blocked. However I am trying meditation and envisioning loosening & softening the tube and opening it up so maybe a miracle will happen.

    QOTW: Who does most of the cooking in your house?

    Mostly me. I'm good at working with whatever we've got. My husband is more meticulous and always chops everything in advance, I tend to go as I go. His specialties are omelettes, risotto, spring rolls. Me - I make all sorts of yummies!

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Were on our own this cycle.  DH had to have a urologist appt and I needed a hysteroscopy (which was perfect, but hurt like hell).  Once I get AF in a few weeks, I will start BCP and then move on to our first IVF-ICSI cycle.  This is of course, unless we get a miracle BFP on our own!

    QOTW: I do the cooking, DH does the grilling.

    I would love to be added to this group!
    My name is Rita, we've been TTC since November of 2007. Recently diagnosed with unexplained IF. We just started cycle for IUI#2 w/ a combo of Clomid/injects. The Clomid is kicking my butt this time around, but I only have one more day of it, hooray! I have an u/s scheduled for the 13th.

    QOTW: I usually do most of the cooking, but we bought a new grill in the spring and DH is obsessed, so I'm off the hook as long as the weather is nice!

    ETA: @Autumray‌ I love the quote! And the positive attitude! I think this might be a good time to start clearing out the "future nursery" aka: junk room ;p. Gotta make some room in my life for a LO!
    ME 28, DH 28
    09/2007 Married
    11/2007 TTC
    03/2010 SA dx = low morphology

    What is your name (if you want to share)? Erin
    When did you start TTC (month/year)? November 2013
    What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? PCOS
    What treatments are you doing? Metformin, natural cycle

    QOTW: DH and I try to take turns with dinner every night. Takes the pressure off having to rush home from work on a daily basis to get dinner on the table. However, I definitely cook more often than he does!

  • I can't believe I haven't filled this out yet! .  

    1. What is your name (if you want to share)? Nicole
    2. When did you start TTC (month/year)? February 2012
    3. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? Unexplained (I have a tilted uterus, which everyone swears does not cause fertility issues)
    4. What treatments are you doing? 2 IUI cycles with 100 mg clomid+trigger and 1 cycle of 100 mg clomid+trigger+TI. I also had a benched cycle due to "left" over follicles. I'm actually going to see a new RE tomorrow because I moved to a new area. I'm thinking about asking to get a new CD3 blood test and a new HSG since it has been a year. My DH works in Los Angeles which is a 2 hour commute one way so I feel our IUI days are over since there is no way he can give a sample in time for an IUI unless it was the weekend. I"m hoping to do another clomid+trigger+TI cycle with my new RE next cycle.  

    QOTW: Who does most of the cooking in your house? My brother just moved out but he was making AMAZING food every night. He just graduated from college in March and came to live with us while he looked for a job. Instead of rent he was responsible for making dinner 5x a week. My brother is an INSANE cook. He really needs to become a chef! He created an AMAZING pomegranate salsa (with onions, cilantro and who knows what else) that he put on bison and wild boar tacos and it was heavenly. I really want him to submit this recipe into a cooking competition. He also makes a crazy good vodka sauce from scratch. Now that we have moved and he is now on his own, I'm back to cooking as much as I can. I try to cook 4 days a week, but its hard with my new commute :(

    Me: 33, DH: 32

    TTC: 2 years
    Fertility blood tests all normal
    Tilted uterus
    3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
    HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
    DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
    All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL

    FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

    IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

    3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

    3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

    Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

    JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!
