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 was the last movie that you saw in a theater?
TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!
calindi- Waiting to O, but not using OPKs because I don't want the pressure. Here goes nothing on cycle #2!
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!
TTC, with treatments
1983Lindsey2- I am on CD 6 and just had some more testing done. I will start provera again on July 21st and the after that get my SHG and then go on BCPS for my freeze all cycle in September.
amandaleigh1- Well, after getting my CD2 FSH tested today, I started OCP in prep for a fresh cycle. I hope to find out early next week my protocol. I think it will be a short one, whatever it is, so that is nice. I am totally freaked out about going in for an egg retrieval again if I even get to that point. It was pretty rough last time.
IVF cycle prep update- got my protocol and calendar. Protocol is OCP for 18 days leading to a lupron flare (not micro dose, however). I think it is also known as lupron co-flare. My starting stim dose will be 450 units. This protocol is not used very frequently-- lets hope it makes my old ovaries produce nice high quality eggs in sufficient quantity. Estimated ER date will be 8/14.
auntjessy-Intro-ing here ladies!
I have 15 month old twins from IVF #1. I'm very lucky (never felt this way about it before) that my IF is just tubal problems, so I got my BFP easily with both embies we transferred the first time. Planned on being finished and donating the remaining 2 to another couple, but couldn't do it. So, here we are, me almost 35 and DH 47, trying for more. Transferring one at a time this time!!! In a way, I'm almost more nervous this time around. I'm nervous if it doesn't work and nervous if it does! If it works, my twins will turn 2 just 3 weeks before Baby C is born.
Bellalou – Post op appt Thursday. Hoping fluid is gone so I can get this transfer over with and move on with my life.
efhoping2010- After the terrible lining check last week, they added 2x a day estrace, yucky, in addition to the 4 vivelle patches changed e/o/d and the Lupron 5iu.
I have been on Lupron since June 17 and I am getting a sore/bruised abdomen.
I have another lining check/bw on 7/15 and based on that we will see the next steps.
My RE will be out of town during my supposed FET which is devastating to me since that is why we picked this clinic, because of him, so for once I am hoping to delay things a few days so he can do my FET....
girlmom2013 - In 2ww...Meet with RE Wednesday to see what he recommends we do next step. Either use our remaining blast (which I think we will because we are 100% OOP), or proceed to Fresh cycle. Either way, won't be updating all testing until August, as I will be on vacation when AF shows. Stressed to see what he has to say after reviewing the testing he did on me last month. So either FET/Fresh in Sept of this year.
Gregermis- about 6-7 dpo today. We tried on our own this cycle and added endometrin mostly to see how I'd handle it. When I get a BFN next week I'll stop and we'll start a beefed up IUI (femara + bravelle, trigger, and double collect for DH). Despite some teasers that if the doc gave us a low chance that he might be convinced to do IVF he is staying a firm no. To say I'm devastated by this is an extreme understatement
hham10- Had my first beta in Friday and it was 159. I go back Monday for a repeat and am just praying the numbers increase appropriately. I've been in shock and don't feel like it's real.
KK_8721-Appt today to go pay for the cycle and go over the meds! Woohoo!
meganfauer- Started injections of follistim last night for round 6 but round 1 for baby #2. Fingers toes and everything crossed. We tried on our own for that "miracle" everyone tells us about for over a year.
phillygirl526 - FET scheduled for 7/14!
Run20K- Update - my beta was yesterday, but came in at 29 on 12dp5dt, so I'm technically pregnant, but am nervous about the low number. My next appointment is on Tuesday. I hope it more than doubles. I could REALLY use some luck in the fertility department!
SharonB222- Made the choice to transfer our snowbaby as is. Await a call-back from the nurse to schedule FET ~October. Next week 3rd of 4 dentist appts next week, the week after OB, then the following week PCP.
STL34- I started Femera for another TI cycle on Tuesday. I should trigger early next week.
SUG92- Good luck to everyone! I had my IUI yesterday so I'm crossing my fingers! Baby dust to everyone.
Thosethreewords- I started IVF #5 last night. I somehow gained an extra cyst - but still got the OK to proceed.
ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon

@efhoping2010 , FX for FET in two days! (and ongoing FX) I like that you have your beta dates in mind.
@Gregermis , FX for HPT a surprise BFP in two days, and if not, then a good start to your power IUI cycle!
QOTW: Movies... in the theater? No idea. My time to myself is weeding the yard or running errands. For next date night I want to hang at the butterfly gazebo.
AFM: I am to call my nurse with next AF for prep and FET schedule. It's getting real! Next general appt in my long list: OBGYN Friday.
