TTC Checkin - 4 July

[dannigirl]

Hey all, is there anyone that is still TTC???
There hasn't been a thread in a few weeks from the look of things...

I'm now on BC and we have our baseline ultrasound on the 13th and I start the injections the next day.

We had our IVF info session last week and as they were talking about all the stuff I was close to tears.
I can't believe we got pregnant so easily the first time and then lost our little girl.. now we've been dealing with secondary infertility and about to start IVF... How did it get to this?

On a side note, I am feeling very positive about this. I am doing my best to relax and not stress out too much. Im trying to get out in the sun lots. I heard vitamin D is good for fertility. Don't know if it's true, but I'll try anything at this point.

Hi! I'm still here and starting IVF #1 too. I'm on BCPs now with stims starting July 11 and a tentative ER of July 23. We're in this together!

We decided to do PGS testing so it will be a FET for sure for us. Hopefully in September.

Yay!!! It will be good to have someone else doing this at the same time, just a couple days off. That's too cool.

We talked about PGS, especially with what happened with our little one. But our clinic doesn't do that testing, so we are a little SOL at this point for that.
The Dr assured us that the risk is low, even though we were already 1/1000 for Turners... But I test negative for Turners, and I guess it's normally carried by the mother, so I'm not too worried. And they have a very low rate of issues with ICSI issues. So that makes me happy.

I'm just not going to let that get to me and let a pregnancy happen. It will happen! The medium my mother in law talked to said she was having another grandchild in the next year, so that would be us. Unless my brother in law accidentally has another child with his soon to be ex wife... lol

I'm sending so many good thoughts your way! I hope this does it for both of us.

We are! We are trying unmedicated iuis right now. Looks like we missed the ovulation day. So we have to sit this month out! 😤

Oh no! I'm sorry, that sucks. Good luck next month. Are you using a KD or frozen sperm?

We're using frozen ones, but our clinic is charging us a holding fee. Please send all the money our way!
