Our TTC Journey
TTC #1: May 2011 BFP: 10/27/2011 | EDD: 6/30/12 DS born 6/28/12 via C/S
TTC #2: September 2018 Me: 36 | DH: 39 Mirena removed 9/13/2018 after 6 years BFP 11/11/2018 | MC @ 5.5 weeks on Thanksgiving July 2019 - Diagnosed with Secondary Unexplained IF August 2019 - 2.5 mg of Letrozole = Never Ovulated so Trigger and IUI were cancelled 9/30/2019 - IUI #1 (5 mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFP but Betas showed CP @ 4 weeks 10/28/2019 - IUI #2 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN 11/25/2019 - IUI #3 (7.5mg of Letrozole, Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN 12/24/2019 - IUI #4 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Crinone after IUI) = BFN 1/24/2020 - IUI #5 (50mg of Clomid + Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN and an Ovarian Cyst 3/2/2020 - Taking a break to reset/NTNP 11/1/2020 - At peace with where things are in life and are no long actively TTC. Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 1 year, May 2018 - May 2019
*How far along are you? 25 weeks
*Which birth month board/due date? January 2020 / Jan 18th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. The saga continues. We've gone through Magnolia, Virginia, Carina, and Eileen to date (I might be forgetting some), but the name always gets nixed for some reason or anything. So she's still Baby Sister.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? DD has been catching on to things that are Baby Sister's. Any time I say something is too small or not for her, she will ask if it's for Baby Sister. Hopefully this will make the transition easier for her, but I'm still bracing myself for the jealousy. MIL has been planning a diaper shower for the weekend of Thanksgiving when my parents are down, so I'm looking forward to that!
@marebear15 Magnolia is a BEAUTIFUL name!!!! So unique too!! But Baby Sister is just as sweet

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our 6 week US and discovered we were having twins! Both were measuring right on track and have HB's, but I'm still nervous for my 9 week US. PGAL brain sucks. Anyway I miss you all and stalk the hell of this board. I mean lurk. That's less creepy, right? I can't wait to see more BFP's especially from all the IF ladies. ❤❤

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a name!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just that I love you guys so much and think about you and keep you ladies in my prayers (YES, I WILL USE USERNAMES IF I HAVE TO )

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'll be doing the Harmony test around 11.5 weeks after we get back from our trip to Philly. PGAL anxiety has been really difficult to cope with, and I over-analyze every tiny thing, but I'm starting to let myself get excited finally. I miss you ladies so much, and I haven't bonded as much with my BMB just yet, with the exception of my fellow TTGP grads. I've been lurking here as much as my time has allowed and I'm rooting so hard for you ladies... especially those of you actively going though IUIs and transfers. I also wish I could hug every single one of you in the mental health thread right now because I would 100% be there right with you if I was still here. Just know I'm your biggest fan, and you are all incredible and strong! I'm here rooting for you and love-titting you ladies!

@kpearse99 Probably... because if I know, I'm going to have such a hard time keeping it a TOTAL secret!!! This is why I was so adamant about not finding out last time, haha! Makes it much easier to keep a secret. So you guys can be my outlet.

*Which birth month board/due date? Feb 2020. Due date of 2/22
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. My husband told me to pick names and he'll use his veto power if needed. LOL, talk about being non-committal.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I am excited to be looking at that list of names and recognizing everyone! I've tagged a lot of you in the dailies so seeing you finally graduate is fantastic! Rooting for everyone else who is left. There are still quite a few familiar names. A lot of us are still following your journey!
TTC#1 10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml) 11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged 1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele 4/05/2019: varicocele repair surgery 6/13/2019: BFP!!!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We finally announced last week we are having a boy!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are keeping the name to ourselves until he is born. At least that's the plan but we are getting annoyed by my MIL calling him weird names so we will see if we make it that long.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe in less than a week I will be halfway through my pregnancy. I never would have made it through everything without all you ladies. Like other I continue to lurk and root all of you on from the sidelines. There is so much going on in IF land it makes me super excited!

*How far along are you? 13 weeksish
*Which birth month board/due date? April BMB, 4/11
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We plan to find out, but probably not until November, which seems so far away.
*How are you doing picking out a name? I think we have a name either way. Girl’s name is 100% set in stone. Boy’s name is sticking so far.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I survived attending an ultrasound by myself today, which I’ve never done before. Things are still looking good, so full steam ahead. I miss you ladies so much. I lurk here more than I should, I’m sure, but it’s so hard to let go. I am excited that I’m starting to recognize fewer names on the dailies. Hoping so hard that many more of you will be able to move on soon.
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 8mo, May 2018 - Jan 2019
*How far along are you? Almost 3 weeks PP
*Which birth month board/due date? September
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink was confirmed!!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We named her Taylor Jane! 🥰
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? She arrived fast and furious - approximately 30 minutes after we checked into the hospital! 😲 😬 Delivery and recovery have been a breeze. She’s absolutely perfect. The missing little puzzle piece for our family. ❤️ She’s just the best little girl ever!! Her big bro is smitten and always wants to hold her and give her kisses. ❤️❤️
I just want to say thank you all for your support during TTC and during this pregnancy. Many of you have become real friends to me and for that I am forever grateful. I will continue to lurk and support you guys in whatever way I can, and truly don’t want to see any of you in here again unless you are TFAS!! I’m hoping and praying for you all and really really REALLY want to see this place empty out.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still undecided on this one! We will see when the baby comes!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? i can’t believe that this is my due date month! This pregnancy has literally flown by and I am so thankful and grateful for every second of it. As excited as I am for baby to come I’m definitely going to miss being pregnant. Still thinking of and rooting for all of you and love seeing updates and new grads especially the IF ladies!
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? July 2017 to June 2019, 2 years
*How far along are you? 17+6 today
*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020, March 7th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!!! The first girl in our families this generation!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are still working on it, have a long list which we keep checking and revising. We won’t decide until we meet her. But our “working title” is Ferrari - as after all our IVF rounds she has cost more than a brand new Ferrari!!! This causes lots of hilarity and is also a nice opener into gently educating friends and family about IF and IVF.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It’s great to see all the grads every month and hoping more IF ladies in particular make it in the months ahead. Please always remember you can reach out if you ever need any IVF, Autoimmune or DOR advice. Pregnancy after IF is not always easy, but we are determined to not let that steal our joy and despite my anxiety are revelling in telling everyone, seeing their surprise and accepting the congratulations. We have the big anatomy scan coming up in the next weeks - so that’s our next big milestone!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm in disbelief that THE month has come already. I'm excited and ready. PGAL brain is still lingering, even with delivery being so close, I'm worried about something going wrong (though there has been no cause for concern). I'm trying to relax and enjoy these last couple of weeks.
I'm still lurking and crossing everything that you ladies move swiftly on your journey. I can't spend as much time lurking as I use to but I'm definitely rooting you on!!

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? For now, I can finally get excited about things now that our NIPT and NT ultrasound came back totally normal.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? This second pregnancy is flying by! Hoping for all good news at our anatomy scan in a few weeks, and then I'll be more comfortable to announce on social media.

Meredith's birth didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped, but we ended up with a healthy baby, which is all I can really ask for. I'm incredibly grateful she made it here safely.
I don't have time to lurk as much as I used to, but I think of you all often, and I'm always rooting for more BFPs. ❤
ETA - I meant to say too: thank you for always welcoming me in the TTGP community, even though I was borderline "here" long enough when the new 3 month rule was added for grads. 😊 I adored my time getting to know you ladies and made some really special connections here. There are many of you who I think of often and cannot wait to celebrate when you graduate. TTGP will always be my first home on TB, and I so appreciate you all allowing me to participate here. ❤
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Sporadically in fall 2018 but more so Jan-Sept 2019
*How far along are you? 7w5d
*Which birth month board/due date? May 2020
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green... though DH waivers a bit more this time
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven't thought about this! We had DD’s name picked out since we started TTC#1 in 2015 and it took 7 months of pregnancy to get a boys name.... but now DH isn’t sure about that name anymore and we’ve never talked about other girls names. So we’ll see!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? PGAL brain doesn’t shut up and I worry every day. Fortunately, my RE has me coming in for weekly scans until I graduate so that helps my nerves a little. I still stalk here (and sometimes comment) all the time and root for you guys (especially the IF ladies) so much!
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April-Sept 2019
*How far along are you? 9+1
*Which birth month board/due date? May 14
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out around Christmas!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Nothing yet, still pretty early to discuss.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I finally felt safe to post here as I had my first ultrasound today and baby is measuring right on track! I was so nervous not to have any beta's this time around, along with not really having the typical symptoms my PGAL brain was getting to me.
I still lurk TTGP and am rooting for all of you! This is such an amazing, supportive community!
@lillywonderland@galentine Congrats on the birth of your baby girls! So excited for you both and wish you all the best

*How far along are you? 25 weeks
*Which birth month board/due date? January 2020 / Jan 18th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. The saga continues. We've gone through Magnolia, Virginia, Carina, and Eileen to date (I might be forgetting some), but the name always gets nixed for some reason or anything. So she's still Baby Sister.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? DD has been catching on to things that are Baby Sister's. Any time I say something is too small or not for her, she will ask if it's for Baby Sister. Hopefully this will make the transition easier for her, but I'm still bracing myself for the jealousy.
MIL has been planning a diaper shower for the weekend of Thanksgiving when my parents are down, so I'm looking forward to that!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our 6 week US and discovered we were having twins! Both were measuring right on track and have HB's, but I'm still nervous for my 9 week US. PGAL brain sucks. Anyway I miss you all and stalk the hell of this board. I mean lurk. That's less creepy, right? I can't wait to see more BFP's especially from all the IF ladies. ❤❤

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'll be doing the Harmony test around 11.5 weeks after we get back from our trip to Philly. PGAL anxiety has been really difficult to cope with, and I over-analyze every tiny thing, but I'm starting to let myself get excited finally. I miss you ladies so much, and I haven't bonded as much with my BMB just yet, with the exception of my fellow TTGP grads. I've been lurking here as much as my time has allowed and I'm rooting so hard for you ladies... especially those of you actively going though IUIs and transfers. I also wish I could hug every single one of you in the mental health thread right now because I would 100% be there right with you if I was still here. Just know I'm your biggest fan, and you are all incredible and strong! I'm here rooting for you and love-titting you ladies!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. My husband told me to pick names and he'll use his veto power if needed. LOL, talk about being non-committal.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I am excited to be looking at that list of names and recognizing everyone! I've tagged a lot of you in the dailies so seeing you finally graduate is fantastic! Rooting for everyone else who is left. There are still quite a few familiar names. A lot of us are still following your journey!

*Which birth month board/due date? 02/27 BMB 02/20
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We finally announced last week we are having a boy!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are keeping the name to ourselves until he is born. At least that's the plan but we are getting annoyed by my MIL calling him weird names so we will see if we make it that long.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe in less than a week I will be halfway through my pregnancy. I never would have made it through everything without all you ladies. Like other I continue to lurk and root all of you on from the sidelines. There is so much going on in IF land it makes me super excited!
*Which birth month board/due date? April BMB, 4/11
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We plan to find out, but probably not until November, which seems so far away.
*How are you doing picking out a name? I think we have a name either way. Girl’s name is 100% set in stone. Boy’s name is sticking so far.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I survived attending an ultrasound by myself today, which I’ve never done before. Things are still looking good, so full steam ahead. I miss you ladies so much. I lurk here more than I should, I’m sure, but it’s so hard to let go. I am excited that I’m starting to recognize fewer names on the dailies. Hoping so hard that many more of you will be able to move on soon.

*Which birth month board/due date?
September
*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team Pink was confirmed!!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
We named her Taylor Jane! 🥰
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
She arrived fast and furious - approximately 30 minutes after we checked into the hospital! 😲 😬 Delivery and recovery have been a breeze. She’s absolutely perfect. The missing little puzzle piece for our family. ❤️ She’s just the best little girl ever!! Her big bro is smitten and always wants to hold her and give her kisses. ❤️❤️
I just want to say thank you all for your support during TTC and during this pregnancy. Many of you have become real friends to me and for that I am forever grateful. I will continue to lurk and support you guys in whatever way I can, and truly don’t want to see any of you in here again unless you are TFAS!! I’m hoping and praying for you all and really really REALLY want to see this place empty out.
I love you all so SO much.
*How far along are you?
37 weeks today!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
Still undecided on this one! We will see when the baby comes!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
i can’t believe that this is my due date month! This pregnancy has literally flown by and I am so thankful and grateful for every second of it. As excited as I am for baby to come I’m definitely going to miss being pregnant. Still thinking of and rooting for all of you and love seeing updates and new grads especially the IF ladies!
*How far along are you? 17+6 today
*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020, March 7th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!!! The first girl in our families this generation!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are still working on it, have a long list which we keep checking and revising. We won’t decide until we meet her. But our “working title” is Ferrari - as after all our IVF rounds she has cost more than a brand new Ferrari!!! This causes lots of hilarity and is also a nice opener into gently educating friends and family about IF and IVF.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It’s great to see all the grads every month and hoping more IF ladies in particular make it in the months ahead. Please always remember you can reach out if you ever need any IVF, Autoimmune or DOR advice.
Pregnancy after IF is not always easy, but we are determined to not let that steal our joy and despite my anxiety are revelling in telling everyone, seeing their surprise and accepting the congratulations. We have the big anatomy scan coming up in the next weeks - so that’s our next big milestone!

I'm trying to relax and enjoy these last couple of weeks.
I'm still lurking and crossing everything that you ladies move swiftly on your journey. I can't spend as much time lurking as I use to but I'm definitely rooting you on!!

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? For now, I can finally get excited about things now that our NIPT and NT ultrasound came back totally normal.
for the ttgp ladies - I’m always lurking and hoping for everyone. I hope very soon that I don’t recognize any of the names on this board ❤️

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
Her name is Meredith ❤
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
Meredith's birth didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped, but we ended up with a healthy baby, which is all I can really ask for. I'm incredibly grateful she made it here safely.
I don't have time to lurk as much as I used to, but I think of you all often, and I'm always rooting for more BFPs. ❤
ETA - I meant to say too: thank you for always welcoming me in the TTGP community, even though I was borderline "here" long enough when the new 3 month rule was added for grads. 😊 I adored my time getting to know you ladies and made some really special connections here. There are many of you who I think of often and cannot wait to celebrate when you graduate. TTGP will always be my first home on TB, and I so appreciate you all allowing me to participate here. ❤

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
Haven't thought about this! We had DD’s name picked out since we started TTC#1 in 2015 and it took 7 months of pregnancy to get a boys name.... but now DH isn’t sure about that name anymore and we’ve never talked about other girls names. So we’ll see!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
PGAL brain doesn’t shut up and I worry every day. Fortunately, my RE has me coming in for weekly scans until I graduate so that helps my nerves a little.
I still stalk here (and sometimes comment) all the time and root for you guys (especially the IF ladies) so much!
*How far along are you? 9+1
*Which birth month board/due date? May 14
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out around Christmas!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Nothing yet, still pretty early to discuss.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I finally felt safe to post here as I had my first ultrasound today and baby is measuring right on track! I was so nervous not to have any beta's this time around, along with not really having the typical symptoms my PGAL brain was getting to me.
I still lurk TTGP and am rooting for all of you! This is such an amazing, supportive community!
