TTC again check in 6/3

amandaleigh1 · June 2015

Hi ladies! Good luck to those ladies cycling!!

((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them!! This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently TTC again, either on their own, or via injectibles,IUI, IVF, adoption, etc.

A check-in will be posted every week. Please reply to the check-in post if you would like to be added to the group. Each check-in will provide the opportunity for you to provide an update as to where you currently are in your TTC. Once you get pregnant please post about your first and second beta then move over to the pregnancy check in.

QOTW: What is your favorite dinner that your kid(s) also like?

TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!

bleebebebebe- I had an appointment with my RE yesterday for a fluid ultrasound. All looked fine. So I got my calendar and a birth control Rx. BCPs should start in about 2 weeks with my next period and meds begin in mid March. It's kind of starting to feel real that we are really about to go through this again. Getting nervous too....

calindi- we had sex, now we wait. It's so weird to be at the beginning of this crazy train again. I can't really bring myself to hope - I keep finding myself just thinking of it as checking boxes towards resuming treatment next year. As we were unexplained, it certainly could happen, but I just don't feel like it will. More than 22 failed cycles last time just makes me think something needed that Follistim and IUI. Or maybe we even got lucky with that. That's a rabbit hole of worry I try not to let myself go down.

emwaiting – 6/18 We are currently off all meds and just seeing what will happen on our own. Praying for that little miracle to happen. You know be one of those that can say "it will happen when you quit trying!" ha I will be 6 wks tomorrow from my last period so that is frustrating that it won't come on it's own. If it isn't here in another week then they will do a blood test to make sure I'm not prego and then do the meds to start my period. Kinda hard to have that miracle without my period or ovulating. We had to do IVF to get our DS so we are thinking we will have to go down that road again so time to save $$ again!

fullfhope- we are TTC on our own right now, going to RE on December 29 and we will make a plan then for going forward.

iloveflipflops- After completing all my repeat screening to start my clomid fsh iui treatment cycle I'm still in limbo .My results came back with me having an elevated Tsh thyroid level so my RE told me to go see my primary dr my primary dr said they are borderline but my fertility center has a cut off for thyroid and my primary dr understands we need to restart the fertility process ASAP so that dr referred me to go see a Endocrinologist. That appt isn't until two week so needless to say I'm frustrated my cd1 just began today knowing I have all my fertility medicines pills and trigger shot sitting in dining room not knowing when I will be able to use all of it annoys me. Hoping I get to use everything sooner than later.

katekat8721-AF came and went and was horrible. We are still trying on our own, a miracle baby would be nice but ya know. We filed our taxes and found we'll be getting back enough to cover the FET, so that's a load off our chest. I weaned from the pump so this cycle was all jacked up, I don't know if I should expect AF this weekend or if it'll be another 50+ day cycle. Annoying!

Missionobaby- Hi Everyone, I new to the forum, the 2ww is killing me and forums has been keeping me motivated and well informed. After 3 years of TTC, DH and I have been seeing a RE for approximately a 1 year. What i found out over the year, i had endometrisis (3/14) which lead to 3 years of horrible menstrual cycles. After antibiotic treatment, I was told everything should clear up. After about a year of exams of DH and I we still have not received a clear explanation for IF. I was placed on letrozole cycle day 3-7, started opk day 10. Went in for IUI on day 16. P4 done today and 1 week left to test! After OV I had 3 days of cramping from left ovary and dpiui 4 to today i have been feeling so nauseated, which i believe is really early for it to be a cause related to treatment.

Nursey (Okitty)- no sibling for DS on the horizon--working on month 7 of trying. It'll be ok, cause I'm relishing in BFFs joy instead for now!

MAbride0808-Cycle 3 was a bust. We are just going to continue to TTC until our RE appointment in March.

TTC, with treatments

1983Lindsey2-I have a week and half now till my IVF appointment and I am anxious to get started! I hope to do the cycle in July or early August, but I will know more soon.

amandaleigh1- Today was my FET transfer. I had 2 frozen left. They thawed one, and it did not look good. So they thawed the last one. That one looked pretty good, so it was transferred. Now I wait. I did an acupuncture afterward and had a nice lunch out. So at least I got a nice relaxing afternoon after it! Update- BFP 6dp FET. Beta on Sunday.

Bellalou – Appt on Thursday with RE. Had 8.75mm fluid in ute. Need hysterectomy. I'm gonna try for last 2 embryos til I hafta pay for storage and I'll probably be all done. Maybe not even that long. I'm exhausted and the fluid is beating me.

efhoping2010-I am back, and shocked to be back. DH after discussing the CCS results and FET regroup call with our RE has decided we should start the FET prep with my AF starting next week! That was supposed to be my original FET date but I am very excited and cautious to be back. I e-mailed my nurse and will need to start BCP with CD 3 and have an HSG but then I am guessing my FET will be late June/early July?

Gregermis- had mid cycle monitoring today. Lining looks good. Looks like they will have me trigger tomorrow evening for IUI on Friday am. update: had IUI, only 2.8 mil total motile. UGH! My DH's sperm just don't like the IUI prep procedure

hham10- I had my e2 check this week and all looked good. I'm continuing 4 patches every other day and Lupron for another few days. I have my lining check on Thursday and tentative transfer on the 8th. I'm starting to get nervous.

KK_8721-Consents are signed and our approval to ship our babies home has been sent in the mail. They should be back at the RE's mid-June. We go in this week to pay for the cycle and have the nurse go over our meds. Most of June is going to be dedicated to the FET and it makes me really excited!

Run20K- I transferred 2 blasts yesterday and learned today that none of my remaining embryos were freeze quality, which makes me so sad.

STL34- I had my HSG yesterday. Valium made a huge difference, the doctor had no issue with my cervix and my tubes are CLEAR!! So much better than my last HSG which showed both tubes blocked!

SUG92- Good luck to everyone! I had my IUI yesterday so I'm crossing my fingers! Baby dust to everyone.

Thosethreewords- I think I captured most of it in the other thread (tl:dr no fert, horrible horrible sperm). DH has an appointment with his urologist/andrologist in two weeks. Meanwhile, the RE is going to call him and see if using DH's frozen sample from two years ago or doing a TESE would be the best route. They didn't have enough of the frozen to do a test thaw - so just relying on that makes me a little nervous. We have one more partially covered by insurance - hopefully, that will work because I don't know where we'll go after that.

ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon

QOTW: I make a meatball with rice in it in a tomato sauce called porcupines. Everyone likes it, such a rarity.

I am going to keep peeing on things till my beta. Please bear with me...

efhoping2010 · June 2015

Still waiting for AF, it is three days late, ugh, to start FET 2 with our 2 CCS Blasts from IVF/ICSI/MESA #4.

FET will likely be in July.

amandaleigh1 YAY for your BFP, good luck on your beta Sunday

1983Lindsey2 · June 2015

@amandaleigh1 FX for you!

I have my IVF consult next Wednesday to get this process started! I am so excited!! I have lost 32 lbs and am 3 lbs away from being at my weight before I started all the meds with #1. I have about ten more to go to be a healthy BMI and I am hoping to get there by the time my cycle starts. I am nervous and excited!

QOTW: my son is only 9 mo tha old and will eat anything right now. I love chicken wings recently a lot, but my main love will always be tacos!!

SharonB222 · June 2015

Well, I am mentally TTC, even though FET is months away. AMA means lots of "tune-up" appts (and checks). I scheduled my PCP appt. I had my 1st dentist appt (and have two more to replace a crown). I need to schedule the OBGYN, dermatologist and Mammo appts. Chiropractor while I am at it. And most importantly, I need to schedule my RE appt RE. Makes me nervous and excited to think about that last one... OMG... back on the roller coaster.

QOTW: Recently - fish.

amandaleigh1 · June 2015

My bpf is turning bfn. Think this is a chemical

amandaleigh1 · June 2015

Update- beta negative. Chemical confirmed. And I'm out of embryo. Sucks.

1983Lindsey2 · June 2015

I am so sorry @amandaleigh1 !! Big hugs!

Gregermis · June 2015

@Amandaleigh1 - so sorry hun. I had a c/p I'm pretty sure with my IUI as well. Last week was hard. We're trying on our own for a cycle and while we get a repeat SA + another diagnostic IUI for DH. We'll see where to go from there. Seriously want to just do another round of IVF.

QOTW: Annie's Mac n' Cheese

amandaleigh1 · June 2015

@gregermis hugs back at you. This roller coaster of ttca with IF sucks.

Gregermis · June 2015

it really does... I also wish everyone hadn't left

It's still so slow!

SharonB222 · June 2015

efhoping2010 Isn't it always like that? AF comes early if a person is on vacation, but it's late waiting to cycle!

@amandaleigh1 So sorry for the CP for your last two snowbabies. Any idea what's next or a break, or done?

Gregermis Sorry for your likely CP. Wishing you a pleasant surprise while you consider possibilities. Is another IVF a possibility in the future at all?

1983Lindsey2 Congrats on getting near your previous pre-cycle weight! GL reaching your target! I'm 10 lbs from mine too.

amandaleigh1 · June 2015

@SharonB222 I probably have a Hail Mary fresh ivf cycle in my future. At 41 and now DOR, odds aren't in my favor. My wtf is next Monday, so maybe we'll talk protocol.

Sorry everyone for a delayed checkin this week. I plan to post it tomorrow!

iloveflipflops · June 2015

Hi everyone things got kind of busy so I haven't been checking in as much. Still sitting back waiting to start my IUI protocol.. Meeting with an endocrinologist next week to talk about my borderline thyroid levels so that I can proceed with treatment at my fertility center. Just ready to get started again with the process however not getting my cycle next week and being pregnant would be better yet. Hope everyone is doing well.Sorry about the chemical pregnancy amandaleigh

Gregermis · June 2015

@SharonB22 - yes if it were up to me. DH is not on board for the cost just yet. Hoping to convince him if we don't get a good surprise soon
