Re: TTCA35 Check-in 8-5-18
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD3
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Prenatals and looking into CoQ10 - I can't figure out the debate between ubiquinone and ubiquinol (not to mention MitoQ, which seems effective but also has side effects according to studies...)
Rants/Raves: Rave: I am so happy my son is doing better after two stints in the hospital in July. He's still not out of the woods but we can let him play like a normal three year old and he's not getting semi-weekly blood draws, which he hated. Rant: Still not pregnant, and the big 4-0 is tick-tocking at me (in two months).
Questions for the group: I should just stop researching, go to CVS, buy ubiquinol, and take 400mg, right? Or do you have different advice?
GTKY: Do you have a friend or family member you especially admire and appreciate, or who inspires you in some unique way? One of my good friends is battling an MRSA infection after having two semi-successful knee surgeries. She has always been a wise woman and in great spirits, but seeing her going through this ordeal with humor and perseverance has been astounding. I am not sure I would be such a sport in her case. Mental toughness is so impressive to me--I cry over car commercials showing happy families going on vacation... but I do worry whether she is suffering badly and needs our help, and is just not showing it.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): 16 DPO
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): prenatals, coq10 and dhea
Rants/Raves: had fun weekend at charity event
Questions for the group:
GTKY: Do you have a friend or family member you especially admire and appreciate, or who inspires you in some unique way? My mom. She was a stay at home 35 year old mother of 3 when my dad died. She had to pull herself together, go to college and get a job to support us. All the struggle and sacrifice she made but we always had what we wanted and never lacked the necessities. Her strength to get through that and raise us has always inspired.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD 24 - 6DPO
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Prenatals, temping, OPKs and Pre-seed since I have bad allergies and need to take antihistamines. I will be testing on Sunday. Hoping for a positive! So far, everything looks good. I am trying not to get my hopes up.
Rants/Raves: I am just so impatient. This TWW is the worst.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): BCP, baby aspirin, prenatals, 4000iu vitamin D, 400mg CoQ10. Just scheduled a sonohysterogram and endo scratch for Monday as I’ve heard some REs think they may help with implantation
Rants/Raves: Just the whole IF rollercoaster right now. Two years in and I’m tired!
Questions for the group: nope
GTKY: Do you have a friend or family member you especiallyadmire and appreciate, or who inspires you in some unique way? So one of my closest friends is going through breast cancer treatment right now and handling it with such grace. She’s grown and matured so much through this and looks at the world with different eyes, seeing the beauty of every little detail she says she didn’t notice before.
@rikiteacup thinking good thoughts for you!
Its not routine, I had to request the endo scratch because I had heard others in my groups on here doing it and had success with getting PG.
Exciting for August! I’m here for you with questions on it as you go- since I’ve been through it five times I’ve learned more with each round so may as well pass it along!
I keep meaning to start CoQ10, but wedding planning....
one rave: once the wedding madness is over we are going to get more serious about ttc. I’m going to ask about femara since the clomid fixed my low progesterone before and should have less side effects. I’m excited and also worried that it won’t work and I’ll be heartbroken.

Thats good timing with your wedding, also you might have a load of stress off after that if you’re anything like me with planning stuff!
@PoeMasque thinking of you this weekend! Sending creepy internet congrats and hugs!!
AFM only 2 active birth control pills left and can I tell you how happy that makes me? I really despise them and with all the IVF I try not to think of all the suppressed cycles we haven’t been able to just try naturally. Like what if in the end we find out IVF just didn’t work for us? Lots of pressure going into this last transfer. But I’m doing all my supplements, Brazil nuts, added maca root last night. Praying!!!
But at any rate, what are everyone’s thoughts on mini IVF? I was mentioning it to DH tonight but I’d have to drive pretty far I think to go somewhere where they do it well. Just nice to have a plan b in mind I guess,
