Hi ladies!
I was asked to post the same check in on both boards so everyone can keep up with each other so this will be in both spots!
Good luck to those ladies cycling!!
((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them!!
This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently TTC again, either on their own, or via injectibles, IUI, IVF, adoption, etc.
A check-in will be posted every week. Please reply to the check-in post if you would like to be added to the group. Each check-in will provide the opportunity for you to provide an update as to where you currently are in your TTC.
Once you get pregnant please post about your first and second beta then move over to the pregnancy check in.
QOTW: Any fun Super Bowl plans? Who are you pulling for?
TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!"
cinciem- I guess I'm back in the TTC mix. We are going to start tracking cycles and such since I put a deadline on TTC. We are going to try naturally until August and then we will be done. I'm Turing 38 this summer and I just think it will be time to call it if things haven't happened by then.
fullfhope- we are TTC on our own right now, going to RE on December 29 and we will make a plan then for going forward.
Gregermis- Finally scheduled an appt with the RE. Mine left so I've been hesitant to go back
iloveflipflops- Hi everyone I would like to be added to this post. I just gave birth to my son in September, and my husband I will start ttc again on our own after my current second pp period ends . I'm 35 with a DOR diagnosis so this is why we're moving along so quickly with everything with trying for a sibling for our son. I'm hoping this time around no fertilty treatment will be needed everything crossed. I conceived my son with IUI+Clomid + ovidrel trigger. If we have no success with trying on our own we will head back to our fertilty center they were so wonderful I know we'd be in good hands.
katekat8721 AF should be here this week. DH and I trying to narrow down an FET date and still just TTC on our own in the meantime.
Okitty- AF joined us for Christmas. I'm already struggling with IF anxiety in this NTNP situation we are in. DH keeps telling me not to freak out: LO is only 5 mos old, LOL!
MAbride0808-We are still staying the course. Ovulation should be the end of this week. Of course I'm sick again! We are just waiting to get some appointments in to get the ball rolling.
Thosethreewords-Consult with the RE is a week from today!
TTC, with treatments
amandaleigh1- I start lupron tomorrow for this FET cycle. I haven't self injected in over 3 years. Not looking forward to that part.
Ann679-I had my retrieval yesterday. I'm completely shocked. They got 8 eggs and 6 of them fertilized. That's more than my first 2 cycles combined. Now I'm hoping for some good growth.
Bellalou – Go to RE tmrw to pay $$$$$. Should start stimming 2/4, ER 2/14 ET 2/17. That's the plan.
EmAzeem- I started Lupron last week and hate it. I've been getting headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, and mood swings. I go in friday for bw/us to see if I can drop to 5units and start the patches.
emwaiting – 6/18We are currently off all meds and just seeing what will happen on our own. Praying for that little miracle to happen. You know be one of those that can say "it will happen when you quit trying!" ha I will be 6 wks tomorrow from my last period so that is frustrating that it won't come on it's own. If it isn't here in another week then they will do a blood test to make sure I'm not prego and then do the meds to start my period. Kinda hard to have that miracle without my period or ovulating. We had to do IVF to get our DS so we are thinking we will have to go down that road again so time to save $$ again!
gazelle86- I just did an intro above, I will be FET next cycle!! Good luck everyone!
hugmonkey- Received all my meds. I go for my day 2 ultrasound on Wed (on day 3 because of the blizzard we're expecting). So, I may be started my injections soon. It feels unreal to be starting again.June0609- We got 5 normal frosties after PGS. FET is scheduled for 12/10.
Kaf7- I have been having a challenging few weeks at work and I am finding it difficult to separate work from home. I didn't make a resolution but on further reflection I think I need to work a bit more on limiting the time I dwell internally on work while I am at home. From an IF perspective things are status quo. I wish my periods were a bit more regular so I could be more precise at blocking time off work especially as I have to submit my requests for nights from now through April on Thursday. At the moment given the irregularity of my cycles I am looking at a one month window of taking time off and that may not go over well with the group.
KDR19179-7/16 I haven't been on the bump in awhile because I have been busy with the twins and work, but we are in the process of going back for our single frozen embryo. We don't tell many people IRL when we are going through IVF cycles, so I would love to talk about it somewhere! CD day 1 was July 10, I saw the RE on Monday. I'm taking estradiol 2mg 3x daily. I go back on 7/21 for an ultrasound and blood draw. The embryo transfer is scheduled for 7/28. We only have 1 embryo left and it has about a 65% chance of surviving thaw. If it survives thaw, it has a 27-30% chance of pregnancy.
Millie1984- Im waiting to start an IVF cycle-- just waiting for AF so I can start BCPs (which will hopefully be any day now...)
MrsAmyDylan- My med box arrived Saturday and my OOP was $133! (Plus progesterone suppositories weren't covered). We have our final meeting with our RE on Friday. I'm currently on BCP and hoping that my cyst from the clomid cycle is gone and all stays on schedule.
Pam MG – Had my beta this morning and it was 164!!! Next one is on Monday (what a stupid long wait).
Phishgirl29- FET next cycle!!!
Pinkmickey24-9/17 Cycle 3 is underway. Going to sit down and chat with DH about when we should return to the RE. I want to cycle August/September again because a May/June baby if all works out is much nicer on a teacher's schedule, but I would be grateful for a baby at anytime in the year.
Run20K-We will start IVF in March. Husband's most recent semen analysis showed 0 sperm, so we're doing a repeat in 2 weeks. We do have 6 vials frozen from a few years ago, but hopefully his production will increase after visiting the urologist next month. He took Clomid last time and that increased his count from 100 to 400,000. Fingers crossed! In the meantime, I'm training for a race and waiting for my period. I'm 2 weeks late, but not pregnant!
STL34-Going to try to do an FET in February. I have some concerns about doing this in February since it is a crazy busy month for me. But, I'm hoping it will either work out or I will get cancelled again. I may change my mind after I start the higher doses of Lupron they decided to use to try to suppress me (If you remember me from that other place, you might remember that I ovulated through Lupron and BCPs and my FET was cancelled).
trigirl79 – First appt was last Sat - 9 antral follicles. Started meds (Gonal-F and Menopur) last night, go in for my first monitoring appt on Friday!
WadzFaith-In 2ww purgatory after we transferred 2 embryos on Nov 2nd.
Ist Beta will be 11/14 (9 days to go!)
wreckitsmommy- Thank you for telling me about this check-in! I'll be sure to keep you all updated on Friday's appointment when we go get SCSA results! Once we get Friday's results we'll decide on a month to cycle and will keep trying naturally until then!
ON A BREAK, hoping to get back in the game soon
Efhoping2010- Waiting for AF and will have my pre-cycle work-up for IVF/ICSI #4 finalized after that. I need that visit "from the little red sister" tomorrow so I can move up the work-up
I am having trouble waiting now that the work-up is getting close, I know this is the final step for us and if the RE decides donor is the only option we will close this chapter of our story.
HeatherHam10- Just dropping in for my first actual post. I go to see the RE again tomorrow...LO is 5 months and we are planning to do an fet in april. I feel like a bit of a crazy person. We shall see how this goes!
MoFree/blueinred - I posted in a separate thread about seeing a new RE tomorrow. So nothing new with me in terms of TTC except I think I have emotionally maxed out.
missilini- We have our appointment with our RE tomorrow afternoon. I'm a little nervous that we are all ready at this point. Does anyone know about a medication donation program. We have to pay for everything out of pocket.
I was asked to post the same check in on both boards so everyone can keep up with each other so this will be in both spots!
