QOTW: Favorite names: What is your favorite first name?

harleyquinn0621 · October 2016

Good Morning!

GoldenKeys can you change my DX to unexplained IF? thanks!

i'm sure most have seen my latest post but just to put it in the check in thread

RE is suggesting IVF bc of my age
However, i think DH & I have decided to do IUIs w/ injectibles bc my insurance will cover the IUIs (i just have to cover the meds)

i also think we're going to decline to move to IVF at any point- so if the IUIs fail i 'm going to have to call it done - financially IVF is just not an option for us

my RE is also retesting my TSH, she advised she likes it to be 2.5 or less, and I was at 3.23 - she said it was still within the normal range, but she would like to see that number lower- so if it comes back around the same number she will put me on thyroid meds

Editing to add QOTW: Liam is my favorite boy's first name - Gwyneth is my favorite girl's first name

GoldenKeys · October 2016

harleyquinn0621 I've seen many women over 35 who succeeded with IUI, so I was I little surprised that your RE suggested IVF so soon because of your age. Sure, IVF is the gold standard and great if you can afford it, but it's not for everyone. GL

lablover78 · October 2016

Hi Ladies! CD 10 here with 2 dominant follies on the right (14, 13) and a possible on the left at 11. Testing my estradiol & progesterone as we speak and waiting to see if I get an OPK by Friday. I'll trigger when I do and go in for another u/s on Friday if I don't get a positive. I think we are going to do timed intercourse this cycle. Also taking estrace starting today and he is keeping me on Prozac for now (this was one of the meds he Rx for an off label use). I've always been against pharmaceuticals b/c I hate the way meds make me feel (MTHFR seems to explain my aversion!) but I have to admit the Prozac has helped my emotions even out and I barely cry... And this was a several times a day occurrence before. Interesting!

@HarleyQuinn0621 I'm sorry your facing this but think your decision is a good one. My experience is that a lot of docs do rush to IVF & I just have a feeling that if I had gone that route it would not have been successful given what I've learned with my new RE. Have you looked into whether your RE or other docs in your community test for MTHFR? It seems to affect women who are older (I'm 37) and I'm guessing it's b/c we've had time to be exposed to stress/toxins and other factors that turn these genes on.

qotw: secretly hoping for a baby Scarlett in my future

lablover78 · October 2016

FYI forgot to add that my RE said that ovidrel is not consistent so they stopped using it and switched to pregnyl. I've also had ovidrel so thought I would pass this along.

clt2pwm11 · October 2016

@lablover78 I took Prozac for about two years a while back, and I absolutely LOVED how I felt. It helped correct my depression, and it helped me deal with the stress that was in my life at the time. I have to admit, I was embarrassed to start taking it, but by the end if someone told me they were depressed I was urging them to talk to their doctor about Prozac! The only negative was it killed my sex drive and that was a large reason why I came off of it, but if I ever suffer from depression or anxiety again, I will not hesitate to ask for it!

BecauseLove · October 2016

Hi All...We are on progesterone waiting for CD 1...and for my Dr to return from leave (she has been gone for 3 months) to tell us what she would like us to do next. We have been doing Letrozole (even in the higher doses) which has not been creating mature follies consistently (usually 2 months off 1 month on)...which has us only completing 2 IUI's instead of so many more. Sadly we have had to wait the last few months and just kinda wait it out because none of the fill in Dr's were ready or willing to move us to injectables (though they both suggested that and IVF as the next steps).

TW:
We did have a CP with IUI#2 but no mature follies with the next cycle of Let or cycle of 100 clomid (we hadn't tried clomid since the early days of ttc)

We are suppose to see the Dr on the 10th (maybe cd 2) and see if she will be willing to give injectables a try.

We also set an appointment for a IVF consult on the 14th. Hopeful that between those 2 appointments we will be able to get some plan in place for the next steps.

And we are doing the usual evaluation of finances etc as none of our fertility care is covered by insurance.

FX for you all too!

harleyquinn0621 · October 2016

GoldenKeys I know i've seen lots of women successful with IUIs over 35- so I was a little disappointed she seemed so hung up on my age- i turn 35 next month and she seemed to use that as extra pressure to go to IVF - i'm hoping the IUIs with injectibles are successful - but i honestly probably won't start until Jan- I am traveling a lot the next couple of months, and then the holidays are always stressful, so i kind of want to wait until all of that is done

it will also give me time to lose some weight- get healthier- and start the thyroid meds if needed

@lablover78 i'm honestly not familiar with MTHFR- I think i may need to research it to see if that is something i should be tested for

lablover78 · October 2016

I just posted a couple of links in your other thread. I think even the docs are confused about it as I see a lot of women getting conflicting advice. What I do know is that my RE is one of the only ones treating for this in the area and I have heard from more than one of his patients that he was their last resort and not the first RE they saw and they ended up with successful pregnancies. My OB said something similar- he doesn't do things like the rest of the REs but 'does get a lot of women pregnant' so it might be worth looking into. GL!

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@harleyquinn0621 - GL with your IUIs. It's awesome your insurance covers it. I too like the name Liam but I am not a fan of Gwyneth.

@lablover78 - FX for your opk

@BecauseLove - Hopefully the wait for your doctor to come back won't be too bad. I know waiting can suck!

As for me the wait for my doctor's appointment is over because I had my appointment yesterday.

Thank you to everyone who patiently listened as I was repetitive the past couple weeks about me waiting for my appointment.

Anyway, it went okay. She looked at the results my last doctor gave & decided to retest only some of them because with some, the likely hood of them changing was HIGHLY unlikely.

She had tests done for Testosterone / Dehydroepiandrosterone, Sulfate / and TSH Relflex. They all came back today as normal.
     My Testosterone is 49 ng/dL and the normal / standard range is 6ng/DL - 82ng/dL
     My Dehydroepiandrosterone, Sulfate ois 264ug/dL and the normal / standard range is 99ug/dL - 340ug/dL
     My TSH Relfex is 1.750 ulU/mL and the normal / standard range is 0.450 ulU/mL - 4.500 ulU/mL

She said that 1 test would take 1 week before we had a result but I only remember her saying these 3 tests. I called the doctor's office to see what the other test would be and I am waiting on a call back but so far it seems like good news on the tests.

As far as the next step goes, she put in a prescription for Provera. She said if I don't get AF in the next couple days, to take Provera to force AF and then on CD 10 (assuming I get AF) to start using OPKs every day. Also, if I take the Provera and do NOT get AF by CD 40, I am supposed to call her back.

Edited to add: QOTW: Favorite names: What is your favorite first name? There are a lot I like: Rosemary, Benjamin, Hannah, etc

Worldtravler0522 · October 2016

@harleyquinn0621 I'm sorry to hear your RE was pushing you for IVF. I was slightly younger than you when I started TTC with my RE and he saw no reason to do anything other that IUI to start. I'm not sure if it's the same with IUI but when he ran my stats through a program for IVF my chances only went down by 2% if I waited till I was 37. Just food for thought! Good luck with the IUI and I hope it results in your BFP!

BWhitta · October 2016

@GoldenKeys Thank you so much, this experience is something I never imagined I would go through, and having this thread has made all the difference in the world! I love you guys!

@HarleyQuinn7161 FX for your IUI's! I'm glad you've come to that decision and you seem to feel comfortable with it!

@lablover78 yayyyyyy for 3 good follies! Eep. Have such a good feeling for you this cycle! FX!

@BecauseLove I can't believe you've had such a long wait...each week is like torture for me, I can't imagine having to wait on your doctor! So glad the ball is rolling now!

@SaphireSweetie88 glad all of those test results came back normal!!!! I hope Provera does the trick for you!

*TW

My second Beta came back at 59 which was a little more than double my first (25) so they're happy with that! She of course had to say it's still a little low but we started early, today's only 15dpo, maybe 14. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday to look for the sac, and then one the following week to look for the heartbeat. I'm feeling a little relieved but not really because I got this far last time...want to get to that ultrasound!!!!!

Thanks again, y'all! Xoxo

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@BWhitta

Thanks. I hope so too but now that it seems like we actually have some sort of direction in where we're going / what we're doing, I feel like I'm getting my hopes up when I shouldn't be.

Mythril · October 2016

I am. Just. Ugh.

Found out that our lease expires next month on the 7th. I thought it expired next month, and we'd have to be out by dec 1st. (is it really that close to December??) So I've been packing to alleviate stress, and I packed up the kitchen. Which means I can't cook anything, which means fast food the rest of the month.... woops? I can do keto with fast food I just have to buckle down and do it. But I'm stress eating. I need to stop it. I feel like if having a baby is going to rely on my weight loss it's NEVER going to happen. I'm going to have to talk to my RE and let her know that relying on me losing weight is not an option.

I feel like the thyroid medicine might be helping, but I also feel like I'm just imagining it, because it's too early for that and also I'm not 100%. I don't know, I just don't know anything!!

Can you tell, I've got this all under control! XD

QOTW: Favorite names: What is your favorite first name?
Hm. I don't think I can pick a favorite first name. I like the name Lucas. And a name I thought I made up when I was a little girl, but apparently it's not an original, Lynnora.

ReesaAnne16 · October 2016

I'm deep in the TWW and it's so hard to wait. I feel like time is crawling, but it's already October! We started ARTS in August, so I can't believe it's Oct already.

I'm feeling apprehensive about a new situation I'm in. We live in a duplex and our downstairs neighbors are moving out at the end of the month. This is GREAT because they were constantly complaining about something.
HOWEVER, I just found out the couple moving in are younger than us and expecting

uggg I was really hoping to foster a good relationship with our new neighbors this time around, but now I know all I will want to do is avoid them. I just gets me depressed to know there will be a baby in our "house" that isn't ours

QOTW: I really don't want to share my favorite baby names... I'm terrified they will be come too popular. Sorry!!!

halfanewt · October 2016

@ReesaAnne16 I'm sorry. That must be really frustrating! I know I would be avoiding for sure...

As for me, While we're taking a break from active treatment, I'm still temping/OPKs. Day 22 and finally starting to look like FW. The downside(?) is we're on our way to Mexico for a wedding. I guess we just wear all the bug spray? The universe would t be that sadistic, right?

QOTW: unfortunately, many names are ruined for me. Oh, the joys of teaching. I think Christabelle is a pretty name, though, and I've always been a fan of Brendan.

Bababatty · October 2016

@harleyquinn0621 I really hope the IUIs work for you. I'm sorry your RE was trying to push you into IVF. That's frustrating. It sounds like you're making the right decision for your family.

@lablover78 I'm glad you had a good scan! FX that TI is a success this cycle!

@BecauseLove I'm sorry that your docs have been dithering on the injectables. Glad your RE is finally coming back so you can maybe move forward. Keep us updated on how those appointments go next week.

@saphiresweetie88 YAY! I'm so happy you finally got your appointment--and great news that your tests seem within range. FX the provera brings AF! I'm with you: as soon as we started working with the RE I got more positive about everything. It's nice to be able to fall back on medical science. Definitely took some pressure off us.

@BWhitta Congratulations on your beta! I can't wait to hear about your ultrasound!

@mythril Oh no! So much stress, I'm so sorry you're going through that. On the plus side, you'll be moved and settled before Thanksgiving? I hope that your RE is willing to work with you, weightloss or no weightloss. I really admire your efforts to stay on diet even in the midst of total upheaval.

@ReesaAnne16 I hope the rest of your TWW goes by fast, with good news at the end! I'm sorry about your neighbors. It turns out our new ones across the hall were expecting, but I never saw the wife (she came home later than me and apparently we're all terrible people who don't introduce ourselves to each other) so I didn't know until the baby was born. Probably saved my sanity. Anyway, I really hope you get your BFP soon and you won't have to deal with the depression.

@smokinangel Glad FW is coming up! Enjoy the wedding.

AFM CD9 here. I had my monitoring u/s this morning--one follie on each side at 19, another at 12. RE thinks I'll O this weekend--which I'm 99% certain is wrong; I've always ovulated late, although I know medication can affect that--but we'll be out of town. So I'll either trigger on Sunday for IUI#3 on Tuesday, or we'll do TI this round.

hoffmanr7 · October 2016

@harleyquinn0621 Fx on your IUI's. It's nice that your insurance covers them!
@Mythril Sorry you are finding yourself so stressed. Moving stinks and is probably one of my least favorite things of all time

@SaphireSweetie88 Yay for finally getting to your appointment. The waiting is the worst. I'm glad your tests so far have been ok. Fx you get some positive results.
@ReesaAnne16 I completely understand your feelings towards the new neighbors. I am in a bit of avoidance mode. My husband's cousin is having her baby sower in a couple of weeks, and I'm not going just because I don't think I could stand it. I had skipped another shower for someone I used to work with for similar reasons. It's just too hard.

I am on CD9 of my first round of Letrozole. I have to say, side effects wise, I am definitely liking the Letrozole better than Clomid. No moodiness, no feeling edgey......but it did make me feel SUPER tired. But I will still take that over how I felt on the Clomid any day. Starting OPK's and BD and keeping Fx that the Letrozole helps us see some results.

QOTW: The one name I love the most is Patience Elizabeth...but I would never use it (I couldn't stand it if she got the nickname Pat...no offense to any Pats out there). Both DH and I really like Abigail. As for boy names....that I find more difficult. The name I really seem to like is Jack, but he already has a nephew with that name. I also like Jude, but DH vetoed that one.

BWhitta · October 2016

Hey y'all -- off topic prayer request -- we live in a Jacksonville FL and our neighborhood was just added to the evacuation zone. My husband is actually on his way back to town now, he's been traveling. So, I'm waiting for him to get home so we can decide what to do! Please pray for Florida and for my nerves bc I am pretty anxious and it's making me worry about my little bean!

ReesaAnne16 · October 2016

@BWhitta Praying for you!

Bababatty · October 2016

@BWhitta I was just reading about the evacuation in the NYTimes. I'm praying for you. Stay safe!

seethosestars · October 2016

Congrats @wifeinraleigh28 @Bwhitta and @worldravler0522 on the BFPs!!

@hoffmanr7 – I hear ya on the TIRED feeling from letrozole! I’m taking it now and I am just beat by the afternoon (and I'm going to bed early every night!). I also have this vague headache I can’t shake. Fingers crossed I get a positive OPK next week. I have not had any luck with them in the past.

I have my HSG booked for Tuesday so I’m waiting on that. Hopefully it “clears out the cobwebs” and we get our BFP this time!

I was reading that some people are advised to not have sex before the HSG (or if you do to use a condom) but my doc never said anything about that! Those of you that have had one, what advice did you get? Also – I will be on CD#11 which means it’s my FW. Is it safe to get busy immediately after?

I should have asked my doctor these questions at our appointment but I hadn't thought of these things until now...

I also had a sad moment this week when my DH mentioned that we might have had a two year old child by now if we had been successful when we first started trying. That really hit home about this long road.

QOTW: My favorite boy name is William - I'm still undecided on a girls name!

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@Bababatty @hoffmanr7

Thanks! I heard from my doctor's office today and there is a 4th test that we're waiting on the results from and that test is 170H Progesterone and that will be another couple of days before we get that result.

Also, it's like my body knew I was going to take Provera because today AF showed up all on her own. Yay and boo (CD1). I know the doctor wanted me to use OPKs starting CD10 so that will be fun.

Worldtravler0522 · October 2016

@seethosestars thank you!!

@BWhitta congrats and sending you prayers with this horrible storm! My mom lives in West Palm an she said things are starting to get rough down there.

pretzel2plus1 · October 2016

@harleyquinn0621 It sounds like you guys have a good plan in place. We're rooting for you!

@SaphireSweetie88 YAY for your appt!! It finally got here! And good news, too! I'm so happy for your good results and new plan!

So many congratulations, @BWhitta! Be safe in this storm!

@Mythril Moving is so stressful! FX for you doing all of this!

@seethosestars My doctor/nurse didn't actually tell me that, but they did ask before I went back for the test, so I'm assuming that you shouldn't have unprotected sex before. The radiology tech told me immediately following that there was no reason to abstain, but there was also nothing abnormal on my HSG, either. Definitely ask before you leave, just in case.

I'm in the TWW with BFNs all around. I normally don't test early, and this cycle has reminded me why. I have an appt with my doctor on Monday to go over the results from my HSG and H's SA and to discuss next steps.

QOTW: Specifically baby names, we really like Benjamin and Thea. We have lots of runners up, too, though!

meli123k · October 2016

I'm going to try to go back and read over this thread later when I have more time, but wanted to check in because I realize I haven't in a while! Currently trying IVF for the first time, and tomorrow is my egg retrieval. Looks like there are 8 mature ones in there. Feeling nervous, but hopeful. I hope everyone is doing well!

lablover78 · October 2016

@Mythril hugs to you! @ReesaAnne16 ugh sorry- I would feel the exact same way. It's actually comforting to read that other ladies avoid pregnant women too- I thought I sucked at coping with this. @BWhitta prayers to you - stay safe!

lablover78 · October 2016

@meli123k so exciting!!! Good luck

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

@pretzel2plus1

Thanks! I am still waiting for the 170H Progesterone test results to come back so there's still some more waiting but not nearly as long as the wait for the appointment.

I am excited for this new plan too but also a bit anxious. I am trying not to get my hopes up too high or get too excited.

Worldtravler0522 · October 2016

@meli123k good luck today with your ER! Hope they get lots of eggs!

hoffmanr7 · October 2016

@meli123k GL with your ER today!!!

meli123k · October 2016

Thanks everyone! ER went well and I am feeling pretty good at the moment. They ended up getting 13 eggs, not sure they are all mature but will get a status update tomorrow on how many fertilized. If all goes well we can do a fresh transfer in a few days! Just relaxing on the couch now, had some mild cramping after and a bit more pain on the ride home, but I was given a script for pain meds which has helped. Really really hoping for good news tomorrow.

harleyquinn0621 I think IUI's are a great next step, whether or not you do IVF. I don't think IVF would have been an option for us either if we didn't have insurance coverage. I hope someday that will change so that everyone can be covered for infertility, it's not fair having the financial stress on top of everything else! Best of luck to you as you move forward.

lablover78 Hope your follies continue to grow well and best of luck this cycle! Glad to hear your RE has a lot of experience treating MTHFR and has a good plan for you. That's great that you are feeling better on the prozac as well!

@BecauseLove Sorry to hear you've had to wait so long for next steps, but glad the wait is almost over and you will be able to meet with your RE again soon. I hope all goes well and best of luck moving forward!

SaphireSweetie88 Glad to hear your appointment went well and that the tests came back normal! Good luck!

BWhitta Congratulations, and good luck with your upcoming ultrasounds!!! Sorry to hear you are in one of the evacuation zones. I can't imagine how scary that must be to go through. Hope your husband will be back asap and that you all stay safe!

Mythril So sorry to hear things have been stressful lately, I hope the move goes well!

@ReesaAnne16 Sorry to hear about the new neighbors, I would have difficulty with that too. I'm hopeful you will soon get good news so that you don't have to worry about avoiding them

@smokinangel Hope you are able to have a nice, relaxing break and enjoy your trip to Mexico!

@Bababatty Good luck and I hope O lines up well for you!

hoffmanr7 I also preferred letrozole to clomid as far as side effects go. FX that the letrozole gives you better results!

@seethosestars I can't remember if we had sex before our HSG, but we did soon after since it was around our FW as well. It looks like you and I started trying around the same time, and I've had those kind of thoughts too...I try my best not to linger on them too long, they can really bring you down sometimes. Good luck with your HSG on Tuesday and hoping we won't have to wait too much longer for our BFPs!

pretzel2plus1 Sorry to hear about the BFNs, I try not to test early either because they are just so sad to look at. FX that you will end up with a positive, and good luck Monday!

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

ladies I need you all to talk me down, I am symptom spotting like crazy over here. I never get sore boobs as a PMS symptom and this evening mine are super sensitive. The last time they felt this way was the month I had the CP (they were sore the day before and the day of the + test, but AF arrived that day too)
I'm 10 dpIUI tomorrow, and last cycle I still had a faint positive from my trigger at 10dpIUI

So I know testing tomorrow (saturday) won't do any good. But I'm tempted to anyway... Uggg I knew I was never going to make it to 14dpIUI to test. I'm so weak!

@BWhitta sending thoughts your way for safety during the storm!

@ReesaAnne16 we have the same situation with our new neighbors. I was really looking forward to getting to know them, but I just saw the wife last week and she's definitely showing. Boo.

Also, just test every day. I've had lots of cycles with "I never get this" symptoms, testing made me feel less crazy...then I could just write it off as an odd cycle. Until the next day.....haha.

CD10 here. We are back to trying the natural way this month due to a vacation in the middle of FW. I am supposed to try progesterone suppositories post O, but got zero instructions on when exactly to start/stop them.

Next month its back to IUI, but I have no idea how that will work with my new job....eep.

@ReesaAnne16 I really hope these symptoms are the real deal for you!

ReesaAnne16 · October 2016

Thanks ladies; I had crazy dreams about getting a BFP last night.
I testing this morning and it was a BFN, which I guess it good because it's little early (only 10dpIUI) and now I know my trigger is out of my system.

BWhitta · October 2016

@ReesaAnne16 FX for you!!!!!!!!

Y'all...we should have evacuated. We're fine but I didn't even think about how stressed I was going to be! Then last night our HUGE oak tree fell towards our house...we were actually leaving to go to my parents bc we lost power and I was starting to panic bc it was dark and I just couldn't listen to the wind anymore. I was sitting in the car when it fell and my sweet husband had stopped bc he heard it so he watched it fall towards us and onto the car. I could just see his face and it was so horrible. It was a small branch that landed on the car, I am totally fine, the car isn't even dented, but when I got out and saw the tree down and it was dark so we thought it had landed on the house (it hadn't) I compleeeeetely lost my shit. Like, I've never heard my voice sound like it did. I just lost it, it was horrible. My dad came and got us so we are camping out at their house until we can figure this mess out. It's all in the power lines so we can't do anything until the city takes care of that. The house seems to be okay, maybe some minor roof damage! We are very very very lucky!

Please please PLEASE say a prayer for my little bean...I was so scared that my breakdown was hurting it!!!!!!!! First ultrasound is Thursday!

ReesaAnne16 · October 2016

Praying for you @BWhitta ! Everything will be OK

hoffmanr7 · October 2016

@BWhitta YIKES! How scary!! I'm glad you guys are ok. You're in my thoughts.

pretzel2plus1 · October 2016

@BWhitta I'm so glad you are okay! That's terrifying! Thinking of you. Keep us updated after your ultrasound.
