1. September 2013 2. H has low everything (count, motility, and morphology) and I have low progesterone (luteal phase defect) 3. I am taking progesterone suppositories and H and I are working on a healthier lifestyle. H is OOT for work for the next month or two and will do a repeat SA when he returns. The results from that will let us know what our next plan of attack will be.
QOTW-I'm just really happy that everyone is still together. I love this group and it would kill me to see it torn apart. I do really think the boards here are ugly though. And not always super easy to navigate. But I'm positive that after a little more time I will get used to it.
Hi y'all. I voted to keep things the same as on 3T, while I haven't participated there in a while, I have had quite enough change recently. We can always reevaluate if it seems like that's not working.
1. August 2012 2. Blocked left tube, AMA, RPL for me, low morph for DH 3. Currently stimming for IVF #1 On day 8 of stims and it's going pretty well. I go back for monitoring tomorrow and if everything looks good I trigger tomorrow night for ER on Monday. I still feel pretty good actually, my clothes still fit, hopefully that's not a bad sign!
QOTW: I think I actually like navigation better here now that I know how to work it. And I like that the avatars are more visible. I also feel like it's more private here. I don't like that lots of names have changed, and that I have to figure out how to do a siggy again.

@ketchup here's my shiz
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? January 2014
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? MFI
3. What treatments are you doing? IUI #1 (probably starting cycle next week).
Ok, so here's our story. Went off BC about a year ago (right when we started TTC) and my body took about 6 months to figure it's shit out. I had some seriously short LP's (6 days) and had some bloodworm done by my OB after two periods in June 2014. Did CD 3 and 7dpo blood work and everything came back well within normal. Continued to HIO. BFN's all around. MH had SA on 12/28 and first RE appointment was 01/02. SA came back with low morph (1%) and low motility (15%). Everything looked good for me. After discussion with RE agreed to next cycle being Medicated (Letrozole days 3-7), HSG, trigger, and then IUI. MH went in for repeat SA and results came back "the same". He also had a bunch of blood work done that has not come back yet. He was put on ConceptionXR Motility Support to see if that would help. So basically waiting out my period. LP is usually 12 days so I'm expecting it on 01/20.
QOTW: I like that so many people came over as 3T had started to feel like home and I was really worried that I'd loose that. I still can't fucking figure out how to gif. I managed to put in a soggy and that it the extent of my skills thus far.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)

1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? 10/2011
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? PCOS, Hashimotos, blocked fallopian tube, MFI (motility & morph)
3. What treatments are you doing?: IVF w/ICSI
QOTW: Love: I'm loving how responsive the admins are to requests, errors, changes Hate: I'm the admin that has to make 70% of aforementioned things happen

I had a follow up with my obgyn on the 6th following my diabetes diagnosis in October. She wanted to check my VitD level and my a1c (average bloodsugar over the last 3 months). Well, I hadn't heard back on the results and I was getting anxious so I called today. VitD is 33.6- so better than the 8.9 in October. My a1c is 5.5! Anything from 5.7-6.4 is prediabetes and 6.5 and up is diabetes. I was dx in October with a 8.8! All of this was done with a diet change and exercise. Who knows, this could have been the reason we haven't conceived yet. Either way, I've definitely made changes for the better! Maybe we can get that bfp before the next appointment.
QOTW: I'm happy we're not being watched by "big brother "!

Here I just go to page 1 every time & have to try to figure it out where I left off.

QOTW: I like the layout of the forum on computer, and now that I have it on my tapatalk app I think my mobile GBCBing will be smoother. Also glad to be rid of the stupid ads. What I don't like is that my self-esteem the last few months has been largely built on the number of likes I'd accumulated, and I'm starting from scratch. So sad.

1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? 1/09
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? PCOS, Endometriosis, Blocked left tube and scar tissue around my right ovary from the endo (or you can just put "my reproductive system is a hot fucking mess")
3. What treatments are you doing? We are currently on a break until we can raise/save enough for IVF with ICSI
QOTW: As a master lurker, I love being able to use the little drop down menu to go from board to board, it is so much easier to be able to not have to go to a separate page and click on the different boards. I really don't like how you have to click and go to a different page for notifications, a drop down list would be so much nicer Besides that, I'm a fan of our new home!
Hi @ketchup ~ thank you for organizing this check-in, I would love to be added please
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? 1/2011
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? SMFI (original cause) and AMA
3. What treatments are you doing? IVF #2 with TESA & ICSI
QOTW: Favorite Difference: This is where only the cool chicks are Trouble Getting Used To: The format is different, a bit less pretty and a bit less easy to navigate but I'm starting to get used to it.
Hi everyone and @ketchup! I made it over from 3T. I wasn't super active on 3T and never officially joined the big check-in, but I always replied to the IUI and WAD check-ins. I also lurked a lot. I hope it's okay if I'm over here!
1. January 2012 2. Unexplained* 3. We did six IUIs and they were all BFN we're currently taking a break while we figure out what to do next. My husband is deciding whether or not he is okay with IVF. If not, we're moving on to either embryo adoption or domestic infant adoption. I can't sit still while he decides, so I'm doing research and signing us up for info from various adoption agencies. I'm also taking advice from It Starts With the Egg, just in case we do IVF. I'm driving myself a little bit crazy with the plastics/parabens.
*We used to be MFI. My husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and after all the treatments he had low testosterone. His doctor put him on Androgel, which, we found out in January 2013, dropped his sperm count down to zero(!). We still tried in 2013 but I don't think we were working with much sperm. We starting working with the RE in March of 2014 and ever since then SAs have been normal. RE does not consider us MFI - so I guess now we're unexplained.

Thanks for organizing everything @ketchup !
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? January '14
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? PCOS + MFI
3. What treatments are you doing? IVF #1 w/ ICSI. Starting stims a week from today!
QOTW: Love that I can actually see people's avatars now. As far as check-in, I clicked the IDGAF option because I think we should do whatever's going to be least labor-intensive on you, now that it's a blended -- and larger -- group.
Post by durham1008 on Jan 16, 2015 22:15:48 GMT -5
Hi, @ketchup
1) Officially started 07/2010. 2) PCOS. Waiting on DH's SA results but they were normal last time around. 3) Provera. Will be doing 150 mg of Clomid (and IUI? maybe) when my cycle starts.
QOTW: I've used proboards before so I'm not unfamiliar with the setup. They aren't as pretty as the other place but they work.
@ketchup Thank you for continuing the tradition in our new home!
1) August 2012 2) MFI (low volume) - I had a sizable uterine polyp that has since been removed 3) Natural IUIs. Currently in the 2WW of IUI #2
QOTW: Love the bigger avatars and I do like the navigation. Struggling with gifs and siggy... need to tap into the part of my brain that used to write code to pimp my Myspace with music, colorful text, etc. The biggest thing is I'm not confident that I'm not doing things correctly... I ended up with a duplicate post yesterday.
Hi, I switched between Bubble Wrap Button and IDAF a few times. I ended on IDAF, not because I don't give a fuck, but because I think whatever is easiest on @ketchup is fine with me.
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? April 2012
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? Endo, One Ovary, Ovulation problems
3. What treatments are you doing? IVF#3
I'm in-between ER and ET. We are planning on doing a 5DT regardless of how many embryos are left on day 3. Out of the 23 eggs retrieved, 9 fertilized. I have mixed feelings, I want to be happy for the 9 but am sad about the 14 that didn't make it.
QOTW - The admin here is awesome, I like that a lot of 3T's moved over, that there are less ads, that I can see the avatars better, and that I don't accidentally click on bad Bump articles when trying to navigate to the community boards. I don't like that there are people left on the bump that may not know where we are. I want to tell people but I don't want to give Rumbera a hard time.
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)?March 2014, right after my second loss at 5 weeks
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? DOR
3. What treatments are you doing? We tried one IUI with Gonal F which was a BFN. My second IUI got cancelled d/t early ovulation. So, 3k in meds down the drain that cycle. I was not happy at all with my care at that RE so we have moved on. We have two consultations at two new RE's and we will be considering IVF with DE. Hopefully it's ok that I post here. The Third party board looks so quiet.
QOTW: Wow, you ladies sure are there for each other. It is so awesome to see everyone staying together and standing up for each other. I love it! I mostly lurk but I look forward to participating more and helping with support and questions where I can.
This board is not as pretty as TB. But it's very organized and easy to navigate. Yay for not nearly as many ads.
Thanks so much for posting this @ketchup! I'm going to attempt to respond on mobile and will do the poll from my computer tomorrow.
1) we have been TTC since July, 2013
2) DX is technically "unexplained", but I do have a blocked right tube and RE thinks endo is possible.
3) Currently in the TWW for IUI #3 with Femara, trigger, and endometrin for the last two.
So we met with the new RE on Wednesday, and he was truly wonderful. So much more sincere and attentive than the other one. He brought up surgery as a possibility, but seemed to think that we may not actually find endo. He explained that the location of my tube blockage (right against where it meets the uterus) is more suggestive or mucus or some other adhesion not necessarily caused by endo, where with endo the tube often starts to fill but doesn't spill out. He also thought that my lack of pain indicated that surgery may not be necessary for us. So, the plan as of right now is to do 3 IUIs with injects if this one is a BFN, and then to move to IVF if I'm still not pregnant. This would mean starting IVF in April if I'm not KU, which MH and I are okay with. I'm glad to have a plan together! And, he quoted us a 25% chance for each IUI+injects cycle, which is pretty phenomenal IMO. I hope it all works out! Sorry for the long post, just wanted to share that update!
QOTW: I like the wonderful ladies who are over here.... "It's not where, but who you're with that really matters" (DMB, anyone?). I also like how we can do a status update under our avatar which I think will be helpful to keep track of where people are at. Another huge like is that I feel like this site is more private than the "other place." I never liked how TB discussions popped up in google searches and led all sorts of crazies to us. I know anything on the Internet is never totally safe, but this place feels a little more secure. Dislikes are just getting used to the formatting, it's not as pretty like others said, and figuring out how to navigate. I also feel a little bad that newbs at the other place won't get to benefit from the wisdom and awesomeness of the 3T and IF regs, who provided a wealth of knowledge and support for me when I first joined.
@ketchup thanks for drawing me away from voldemort and continuing on with the check-in. Would you mind adding my angel? EDD 5/22/15.
1. January 2013 2. Unexplained IF originally but it turns out I now have a weirdly high AMH (but no other signs of PCOS). You've got me. 3. I've done two Clomid + TI, the second of which ended up in my MMC at 8w1d on 10/11. Now I'm on to Clomid + Novarel + IUI. This is #2 (of 3) for those. IVF after IUI # 3.
QOTW: another fan of then big avatars but still too technologically stupid to figure out how to post pics or gifs here. Love that the crazy hasn't yet found here.
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? December 2011
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? Endometriosis, one ovary and fallopian tube, possible unexplained IF from Lupus and fibromyalgia
3. What treatments are you doing? Recovering from my 2nd lap on 12/31 when they removed my left ovary, tube, and adhesions. It didn't go well.
Currently on CD1. I may be gone for a couple days. My pain level is through the roof, I feel like a nuclear bomb was detonated in my uterus.
We'll be doing natural cycles for 6 months now as long as my Rheumatologist says BW is ok on Feb 10th. RE has given us the ok.
QOTW: I just have to get used to formatting and need to do my siggy still. It may take me a bit to figure it out since I'm not feeling great. But I promise I'll work on it.
I'm super stressed since I start my new job in 2 weeks. For those that are aware of my no kiddos at my birthday post. It became a huge issue and was told by a sibling that I'm a selfish bitch. So yeah, we're going to have a single couple I really love spending time with over and that's it. Not to mention that due to permit requirements for our wood stove since DH was provided incorrect info when we purchased we have to move up tiling our entire house. DH also forgot to submit his times so no pay check this 2 week period. I'm thrilled I'm still with you ladies. I just had an awful week for drama from hell at home and with AF. I didn't need that other crap, none of us did.
Together since 2007
Married March 2011
TTC: since December 2011
IF Dx: endometriosis and unexplained IF, had left ovary and fallopian tube removed 12/31/14, also I have lupus and fibromyalgia.
Dh: SA good all around
Plan check on lupus/BW due to flare up from surgery then TTC naturally for 6 months.
1. May 2012 2. I think I'm a mixed bag now. I just had a lap that found/removed adhesions on my left ovary and mild endo on my uterus. I also have some ovulation/PCO issues. And have had multiple losses. Not really sure if/how it all fits together at this point. Feel free to put me in the "other" category, @ketchup. 3. Right now I'm on a break cycle since I just had surgery, but it sounds like we'll be going back to Femara next cycle. I wanted to move onto injects, but I think I need to get a better idea of what my surgery results actually mean in regards to my IF issues before pushing too hard for that.
QOTW: You ladies, of course. And I like the larger avatar pics. I now realize daydreamsam is not a transformers-style robot. As for dislikes, I guess that this whole mess happened in the first place is a big one. Other that that I'm just not used to navigating the board and I haven't yet figured out little things like mobile or how to add a pic to my siggy.
Post by BKyarnlover on Jan 17, 2015 1:46:29 GMT -5
@ketchup, here's my info. Thanks for bringing this over.
1. When did you start TTC (month/year)? August 2013
2. What is your diagnosis (if you have one)? Unexplained
3. What treatments are you doing? I am benched right now. During my first appointment with my RE, she found a pocket of fluid behind my ovary. She wasn't super worried about it, and just wanted to keep any eye on it during my baseline u/s for IUI. We sat out a cycle because travel interfered with monitoring appointments, so I didn't get a baseline in late November. At my baseline in late December, the nurse checked the pocket of fluid, and one of the dimensions had doubled in size. Cue MRI referral. That was done, and I finally had a follow-up on Tuesday. The lovely pocket of fluid is kind of presenting as a pelvic abscess, but I "don't present like a patient" that normally has a pelvic abscess. She doesn't have a solid diagnosis. So, she is referring me to an even more specialized gynecologist. The scary moment came when I found that her office is at a women's cancer center- a quick read of their website shows they treat complex gynecological conditions, too. I am currently waiting for that doc to review my MRI and call for a consult. That call should be coming in on Monday. My RE thinks that more than likely I will have a diagnostic laparoscopy and then be put on broad spectrum antibiotics, but depending on what the new doc sees, she will form a plan to get this stupid fluid taken care of so I can start my IUI plans.
QOTW: I also like the bigger avatars. I don't have all the tricks figured out yet, but I'm sure I will get it.
Last Edit: Jan 17, 2015 2:50:27 GMT -5 by BKyarnlover: slightly better response to QOTW. a better one might come after more sleep.

Hola, amigas. I'm going to go here now, too, @ketchup. I was always overwhelmed by the size of the big 3T check-in before but gbcb seems more my speed.
Deets: 1. NTNP since 2009. TTC since 5/13. 2. MFI, shitty DOR ovaries 3. What was #3? Ltd attention span these days, sry. I'm gonna guess it's treatment plan. We are currently IVF#1 and about to be cancelled. We were sent straight to IVF, waited forever to cycle, but we'll probably convert to IUI this cycle just so that the fucking expensive medication I just injected myself with for 9 days doesn't go to waste. Probably looking at IVF#1.2 in March, who knows.
QOTW: I still haven't figured out the tapatalk apps and I don't like that. It keeps telling me that my username and password are incorrect and I'm all just whatever about it right now and don't have the patience to figure it out. However, mobile bumping through the web browser is much easier than the other place.
Married 10 years. DX: AMA, DOR, endo, one tube, +NK, homozygous MTHFR C677T, and abnormal endometrial function test. MFI with high DNA fragmentation and pericentric inversion on chromosome 9.
1. May 2013 2. PCOS, endo 3. Right no we are on a break as we save money for IUI with injects.
@ketchup should we post our angels' dates here too? Or will that be separate?
QOTW: I'm happy that pretty much everyone is here. I do not really like how the notifications work or how I have to scroll to find my place in a thread.
I'm not putting you guys through that. No way in hell. I have the 3T list and will be working with the leaders of the check-ins over at the board-formerly-known-as IF to make sure no one is forgotten. This, of all things, will be seamless. It's the last thing you need to worry about "checking in" about.
@ketchup Thank you. I was mentally prepared had a few glasses of wine last night in order to do it.
1. Ttc since 1/12 2. Dx PCOS 3. Currently waiting for iui # 2, on 7.5 letrozole. Trying to talk my RE into a trigger, because I'm no longer sure I agree with her Letrozole only for 3 iui's, goal of 1 follie, then straight to iui.
I am still kind of confused by what went down, but the new site is easy to use.
