ttc again check in 7/27

amandaleigh1 · July 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: Lately, I feel like my hobby is infertility and work. Inspire me with your hobbies, ladies! What do you do that is not related to IF or work?

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- On day 3 of Provera and then will start BCPs for my antagonist freeze all cycle. I am getting very nervous as everything rides on this cycle. I don't know what I would do if it fails. I start the stims Aug. 27th.

amandaleigh1- Not much going on with me, just taking the BCP pills and will be doing so for another week or so.

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- FET planned for this Thursday 7/23!!!!!!!

Excited/Nervous/Scared/Hopeful

girlmom2013 - Got AF today, 2 days late..lovely. Met with RE last week, of course my new AMH test won't be back until this week, but all other testing looked good. He says that if my AMH comes back decent he would be okay with us doing the FET first and then proceed with a Fresh cycle if needed. But, due to obligations, we will do a FET in Aug/Sept, and wouldn't be able to do a Fresh until end of Nov/Dec, because of travel/weddings in the fall. I feel like waiting another 4-5 for a fresh is not a good idea, but we are 100% OOP..so spending $2k on a FET vs $13k on a Fresh seems like a better choice? haha...is that a question, I don't know. I hate that time is not on my side here and feel more stressed out now. I should have my AMH test back this week, and they will call me and let me know what dr says. We leave for vacation on Friday morning, I cannot wait and hopefully during the drive DH and I can talk about what we want to do. We haven't had a minute to discuss at all!

Gregermis- 11-12dpo today, and I think I'm out. BFN this am... will test again on Thursday and if still BFN, will stop endometrin. Then we'll go for the beefed up IUI. Schedule depending on when AF arrives.

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- Moving onto IVF #5 after my next cycle starts. So sometime at the end of next month.

SharonB222- 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.

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'm now day 7 of stims. I hate to jinx it, but my numbers/follies have been better than ever. Like double everything in the past.

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

I took my last BCP today. Baseline is Saturday. If all is well, lupron flare begins saturday with stims to follow the next day starting at 450IU.

QOTW: I used to knit up a storm before I was IF obsessed. I really need to get back to it.

Gregermis · July 2015

@amandaleigh1 - GL!!

Me - I'm CD5 and supposed to be in the middle of an IUI, but at the 11th hour got DH to agree to IVF (unless we get some amazing results back for the density gradient prep for IUI that we're still waiting on). So... at the moment I'm doing a natural cycle into an IVF cycle... no calendar yet.

QOTW - I used to knit a lot too... a bit too hot to knit here at the moment, but I've got some lovely yarn waiting for the weather to cool down. In the summer I like to play in my garden

Very very very faint second line on FRER on 3dp5dt FET in the evening

The morning of 4dp5dt FET I had a negative Clearblue Easy with weeks estimator digi but another very very faint second line on an FRER

The evening of 4dp5dt FET I had a Clearblue Easy with weeks estimator positive digi.

But then today's FRER test, 5dp5dt in the am, to me does not look any darker than yesterday????

I am concerned about a chemical, I have had other IVF cycles start out with faint positives and never get darker or even get lighter.

Trying not to panic, first beta on Saturday

Gregermis · July 2015

@efhoping - tentative congrats! You are super early to be comparing dark to dark... if you turned a digi positive after it not be... sounds good to me! I found it best to compare darkness on tests at least two days apart... 3dp5dt may be the earliest I've heard of anyone getting a positive! I'd say today you are pg!

amandaleigh1 · July 2015

@gregermis, yay on getting your DH on board for ivf!!

@effhoping2010 gregermis gives good advice. 2 days apart with fmu with same kind of test is the only way to play the line game. I hear you on the chemical fears-- my last FET ended in a chemical. I didn't test that one till 6dp and the line never got darker after 7dp.

SharonB222 · July 2015

@gergermis, studies show that H-hCG is the dominate hCG form produced which some HPTs can detect and others can't - hence variation between HPTs. Plus studies show super early hCG does not increase steadily for a few days. My 1st sticky BFPs were 7dp5dt. FX, FX this is a sticky BFP for you! Congrats on BFP. Cautiously optimistic!

SharonB222 · July 2015

QOTW - My current hobby outside work and IF is: young children. It used to be gardening, cross stitching, volunteering and reading (fantasy).

AFM: OB appt led to mammo & u/s this week for a breast lump. Sigh. AMA. I am going by the "don't panic" recommendation that most lumps are benign, more than 60% of women my age have them and are esp. apparent within a week of AF (my situation). But I admit I have some butterflies. Also got a referral for pelvic floor PT. PCP appt next week. I am panicking a bit about handling another child; as I've mentioned DH and I pinky swore we'd get help (reminder to calm myself).

1983Lindsey2 · July 2015

@efhoping2010 Congrats!! A line is a line with FRER!! With my son it started the same way!!! FX for you!!!
@amandaleigh1 wishing you best of luck with this cycle and hope all goes well at baseline
@Gregermis that's awesome about moving forward with IVF! Hope you get your calendar soon

@SharonB222 I hope it's nothing! You seem to be handling it well. Please keep us updated!!!

1983Lindsey2 · July 2015

I am on day 8 of Provera and will stop it tomorrow. I should start BCPs next week for an antagonist cycle. I have my mock transfer and SHG next week or early the week after. Then I have my suppression check scheduled for 8/21 and then I stop he BCPs on the 23rd and begin stims on he 27th if all goes well!!

QOTW: IF research has been my hobby for sure. I would also say the gym too lately, although I don't enjoy that either! Hahaha

amandaleigh1 · August 2015

I went in for baseline this morning. They counted 6 follicles in my right ovary. Left was hiding. I got the green light. Started lupron today, adding 450u gonal f tomorrow night.
