3T FAMILY REUNION!!!
***All the Warnings ***
(BFPs, pregnancies, losses, children, etc.)
It's been awhile since we had a reunion, and I thought that the holidays would be a good time to check-in on each other. @NariaDreaming told me it was okay to post this. I know @RunCC37 was leading this check-in for awhile (thank you!), and then the rest of us kind of flaked (including me) when asked to pick up the torch. So while maybe not a monthly check-in, a semi-annual check-in might be nice!
This is NOT exclusively for 3T Grads – this is for former 3T regulars, regardless of whether you're still trying, are pregnant, have had a loss, have chosen to live child-free, are pursuing adoption, or are currently parenting.
If you posted regularly on 3T back in 2013 or earlier (or even early 2014 counts), then this is for you! It's to check-in on our old friends who have now drifted to different boards for their current situation (be that 3T, IF, IFV, PAIF, SAIF, BMBs, 3rd Party Reproduction, Adoption, CFNBC, or something else).
Because the updates from the last check-in in September are likely outdated for many, I'm just tagging those who were tagged previously – if I'm missing anyone, please tag them so we can add them next time!
Let us know where you are in your journey now, any updates over the last few months, etc.
@Mrs.Slick

BFP on May 5th after Follistim & IUI #3
Hi Pretty 3T ladies!
I was a reg here in late 2012 through 2013, but have become a lot less active the last year now that I have moved on to IFV status.
A lot has been going on with me since the September check-in. We did our testing with the RI and she found a few immune issue that need to be addressed during treatment cycles, so now in addition to my RE's protocol, I also have a protocol from the RI as well. In November we did IVF #4 (crazy right?) which was a version of the antagonist protocol with estrogen priming. We also had to convert our cycle to a freeze all because of lining issues. We retrieved 10 mature eggs, which is an all time high for me, and 7 fertilized normally. We got the disappointing news that by day 3 most of our embryos were slow growing and highly fragmented/poor quality. Amazingly two of our crappy embryos made it to blast on day 6 and were high enough quality to freeze.
Right now I am prepping for a FET of our only 2 frozen blasts. I just started lupron yesterday and my estimated transfer date is 1/20. DH and I have decided that this is our last try for biological children. If this FET fails we will either move on to DE or give donor embryos another shot (for those that don't know we did a FET with donor embryos last May).

@southernyankeegirl Thanks for the check in!
@ronniesgirl1981 Identical twins?? Wow that is freaking awesome

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

*****Everyone is welcome******
We did IVF # 3/transfer # 4 in November and I am currently 7w5d with twins! It has been a rollercoaster as I had some bleeding last week and I can honestly say being pregnant is far harder than TTC! I hope as the pregnancy goes on I will feel more relaxed but for now its pretty stressful and scary.
@southernyankeegirl I think I need a mentor!
I love hearing all your updates ladies!!

Well...I'm feeling totally intimidated by twins, but otherwise just bloated with sore boobs. Every now and then I gag while brushing my teeth. We did have an u/s and were able to see both heartbeats. I go back on Friday and hope to be able to measure the heart rates. And I told my sister today and she cried a little. We are telling our folks on Christmas by giving them stockings that say Baby X (which I ordered before I knew they there were two). Our moms are going to freak out.
TTC since 08/2012
DX: DOR
I'm not sure what I'd ask of the buddy system, except for the PAIF buddy to be someone who the newly pregnant 3Ter could check in with and talk through all the anxieties of early pregnancy after IF. Someone to unleash all of their stresses and anxieties to during the betas and early ultrasounds. I know it's different for each lady, but I think for the most part until 9-12 weeks or so, it's just an extended anxiety attack. Just a sounding board for that time period via PM would probably be nice! Girls can choose to exchange email addresses or connect on FB if they feel comfortable, but TB PMs would work just fine.

All Welcome!
Team Purple!!!!
AFM it's hard to believe I have a 6 month old. He is a happy guy, full of smiles. He is army crawling now so we are baby proofing too. I had outpatient surgery to fix some scar tissue after labor and I just got the all clear today. Life has been very busy and I am really looking forward to the day that LO starts sleeping through the night! We are really excited about our first Christmas with a baby. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.
All is well here. Madison Ella showed up on Thanksgiving day weighing 7lbs6oz and measuring 20 inches long. She is perfect and I just can't get enough of her!
Sending lots of love to each of you and happy holidays!

March 15 Siggy Challenge: You had one job
I'm almost 11 weeks now. Doing really well. Just tired and peeing a lot at night, no morning sickness! I had some spotting the day after Christmas. Doctor had me come in for an US and everything was fine. And I haven't had anymore since. Scored the doctors cell number though! Baby measured a day ahead with a heart rate of 181 and was told I have a 95% chance of making it to the end now.
@southernyankeegirl Thanks for setting up the tread hun! AAAAAND you’re about ready to pop! How exciting! I’m so glad to hear that you have had a smooth pregnancy. And cool Christmas jammies!
As for the idea of PAIF buddies, I think that is a great idea! Though I probably would not have looked for one until after I entered 1st tri. I was so nervous last time, I didn’t even leave IF until I was 7 wks and probably for good reason, as I ended up right back about a week later. So, next time, I don’t think I could even dare to dream of planning until I reach 14 wks.
@Twinkie0612 Great news that you got frosties! Any RE will tell you that this is definitely more art than science, and many a healthy baby has been born from what they would grade as “crappy embryos”. However the outcome, just be really good to yourself during and after treatment.
@BlueJoan I hear you on the D&C post report. Mine was pretty much inconclusive because of gender. (((HUGS))) to you ,and I hope that your wait passes quickly for you.
@Rumbera good luck with your IVF cycle. Your first right? And I hear you on the adoption. DH and I have always talked about adoption since we got married, but with the way our IF has been going, we went from wanting 2 Bio and 1 adopt, to hoping for 2 Bio 1 adopt, to praying for 1 Bio 1 adopt, with the understanding that we will be lucky if we get that. But we are on the same page that if our frosties don’t work out, we will be attempting adoption in Trinidad (DHs home country) and have started research on that path as well.
@sugar4bri Glad that you did not end up feeling crummy for Christmas, and I’m sure you will do just fine when your little ones get here! J
@Ronniesgirl1981 It may be my IF brain, cause I remember your BFP, but NOT that there are two in there!!! Congratulations 2X!! Serious kick in the face to all those BFNs! Yay to the great surprises of life!
@TLooney17 Congrats on the BFP and great Beta! FX for your U/S next Monday.
@DaydreamSam I hope that the saving plan goes well, and that things work out for you. But having a positive outlook is the only way to stay sane, and you’ve got that down. J
@shelbeans82 more twins!!! WOW Congrats! Did you transfer two? That is awesome! I hope that the bleeding is over, and I def hear you on the pg part being harder (at least on your sanity) than the TTC part.
@1983lindsey What great pics of your beautiful little man. So glad he, and you, are doing well! Sorry to hear about the crazy cradle cap, but glad that it’s diagnosed and finally starting to improve.
@PurpleDaisy923 AAAAND more twins!! This is crazy, in a completely great way! How awesome that you’ll be popping out the perfect family unit in one go! Glad that things have been going so well for you and the babes, and hope for the rest of your pregnancy to be just as smooth.
@jaytee16 see these check ins are so useful!! Now you know that there are many twin mamas to be in the pipeline and I hope you all will stay in touch.
@MaiTaiBeth It’s so great how involved you’ve become with the NICU where the girls were born. I’m sure that the parents there and the staff are very grateful for involved and active parents like you. Glad to hear that both you and Fiona are getting stronger every day, and I hope that your get together for the girls’ birthday is all you want it to be.
@Whoberry So glad to hear that your little guy is crawling and doing well.
@ttuprincess Congratulations on the birth of your little princess!! Glad to see that you are both doing well. Enjoy her!
@alaskadee23 glad to hear that things are progressing with the adoption process for you. Hopefully your move goes smoothly and that the home study is quick and painless!
@lillovebug79 I cannot believe that you are 27wks my fellow Sparkler!!! Holy crap 2 UTIs and the flu! That would lay anyone low, and to be dealing with the all day sickness too, poor thing. But Hopefully things start looking up from here and you continue to do well. March/April will be here before you know it!
@sweetc129 Glad that your little one is doing well, and GL with TTC#2!
@curve31 glad that the spotting stopped and baby’s HB is good. Hopefully smooth sailing from now on for you.
@tigger99 @letsgobowlingx @westendtexan Glad that your little ones are doing well!
@lindy04aggie sorry to hear you are benched, hopefully not for too long.

Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
We got our BFP in February on our 4th IUI and was due Nov 7th. I developed preeclampsia and was admitted to the hospital at 37w5d and induced. After a 57 hour failed induction, Team Green turned Team Pink on October 24th, 9:25pm at 38w0d when Emma Grace arrived via csection; weighing in at 6lbs 5oz and 18 3/4in long. I'm still struggling with the labor/delivery process, but at the end of the day, Emma came out happy and healthy and that's ultimately all that mattered, so I try to remind myself of that when I think about how awful those 57 hours were.
Emma has been in perfect health since birth with the exception of 2 surgeries to correct an upper lip tie and a posterior tongue tie. Unfortunately, by the time she was properly diagnosed and the issues were corrected, I had severe nipple trama and had to stop breastfeeding and start exclusively pumping. Emma has been sleeping through the night for the last week or so, but I still get up in the middle of the night to pump (I'm actually pumping right now!) I'm proud to say that at 9w5d, despite our breastfeeding issues, she has still been fed 100% breastmilk! Being an exclusive pumper is hard, but so worth it!
She reminds us daily that we have so much to be thankful for.
As always, I'm rooting for you ladies so many new faces around here, which I'm sad about, because seriously screw IF, but I'm glad you all found 3T because they are an amazing group of women. I hope 2015 brings all of you great news!

Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
I posted here a lot for a somewhat short time.. Pretty much the fall of 2013, when we finally "broke down" and went to an RE, who rec'd clomid + IUI. We had our BFP with IUI #2. The ladies here were so freakin' encouraging and helpful, I don't know how I would have navigated the waters if not for 3T.
Alexander was born on 8/9/14, and is basically perfect. I mean, he doesn't sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time, and he's teething, but he's the best thing that's ever happened in my life (and I've had a pretty great life thus far!) and I wouldn't change a thing. He's a smiley snuggly baby who looooves to flirt with the ladies. I've been back to work now for a month, and it's soo hard to be away but rewarding to be excelling at work, and then come home to my little family. LO is still EBF when he's with me and I pump for his days. It feels pretty amazing to know I've been keeping a human alive with my breasts for going on 5 months, as weird as that may be to say.
Now pics!
5 days vs. 4 months:
Christmas pic:
My anxiety and depression became significantly worse, and I become pretty withdrawn when that happens. I'm glad to say that I have finally been seeing a therapist, and that it is helping.
As I have mentioned on a couple of other threads: Even though I haven't posted much, please know that I have always kept you all in my prayers.
I am starting BCP again, to hopefully start IVF in early February. I didn't want to potentially start a pregnancy while I had mental/emotional stuff to work out.

PAIF/SAIF Welcome.
Dx : DOR
IUI #1 (Follistim switched over to Menopur injections) - BFN
Attempted IUI #2 (Menopur injections only cycle) better response on the Menopur then the Follistim combination treatment cycle however my cycle was still canceled due to my eggs not maturing and follicles not growing enough on a high dose of Menopur (Re said I could try a cycle of comid + ovidrel for an IUI) for my second IUI( praying this works for us)
Clomid + Ovidrel protocol worked still a BFN as a result
Attempted cycle Clomid + Ovidrel protocol for IUI # 3 (Unable to do this cycle due to a cyst)
IUI # 3 Clomid+ Ovidrel protocol - BFP Beta #1 752 Beta #2 1536 Beta #3 3797
