What is your mood?


QOTW: What are you binge watching, if your not watching, what are you reading? Currently I am watching the whole season of The Ranch with Ashton Kutcher on Netflix. So far it has held my attention for 8 episodes.

Thanks for the check-in wirt2cute, and I love your smilies this week!

Status: TFAS


What are you doing this month? Clomid, injectibles, trigger, PNV, and most likely IUI #1


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 9 or 10, CD10 One more u/s on Thursday and then hopefully IUI this weekend!


What is your mood? A mixture of things today. Excited that I have some good follies on the left side and hopeful that more injections will keep them growing for me. Frustrated with the cost of the meds, but relieved that we're almost through our deductible at this point so the upcoming bills won't be so bad. It's so hard throwing a ton of money at things when the chances of success aren't very high.


QOTW: What are you binge watching, if your not watching, what are you reading? I'm reading Black Hills by Nora Roberts. I love good suspense/romance novels that don't require a ton of thinking these days.

GL this week ladies! FX we get some more BFP's around here really soon.

wirt2cute cute smileys
Good luck with the IUI summergirl1211 it's exciting!
@usernameedit NOT cool by your obgyn at all! (I loved parenthood though, great show!)

[sleepymonkey]

@usernameedit, you would think an ob's office would have measures in place to make sure something like that doesn't happen. I would be so upset.

Status: TTC#2

What are you doing this month? Waiting to see if IUI#2 was successful

Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 11, CD20/8DPO

What is your mood? Struggling. Considering ending my TTC journey after this cycle, though I am definitely on the fence about it. Nervous about a potential BFP but also not wanting to see a BFN.

QOTW: What are you binge watching, if your not watching, what are you reading? I don't have time to binge watch anything anymore. I'm reading 1-2-3 Magic because DD is every bit a 2 year old and we need to introduce some sort of discipline and consequences for her actions.

[summergirl1211]

@usernameedit, I'm so sorry, I don't blame you for being upset. I would definitely call the office and let them know. Hugs.

sleepymonkey, good luck to you too! I hope whatever happens at the end of this cycle you find peace.

What are you doing this month? PNVs, OPKs, testing, sex...kind of slacked on everything else this month


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 7, CD 23/10 DPO, RE appt 4/19


What is your mood? Today it's good because we get to go look at a house tonight that I'm really excited about. Anxious for the next two weeks to go fast so I can form a game plan with the RE, and/or find out if we can even afford said plan.


QOTW: What are you binge watching, if your not watching, what are you reading? I'm not really watching or reading anything right now. I want to check out Narcos, but I've been waiting on time for H and I to watch together. I'm about to give up and just watch it alone. We also need to go back and watch the X-Files. We were excited for it but never watched the new episodes.

beachdreamer , Exciting about the house! I hope it goes well with the RE!
sleepymonkey , Absolutely everything crossed for you!
@usernameedit , I'm sorry your clinic did that. So unprofessional. Must be something in the water this week.
summergirl1211 , Grow, follies, go! I know what you mean about the money--I met my deductible for this year in FEBRUARY.
wirt2cute , Thanks for the checkin!

AFM, it looks like FET is cancelled (due to a misunderstanding about the protocol, and against my wishes). I'm extremely displeased with this RE and am trying to get on the May calendar with someone who will be a bit more flexible with protocol. I don't want to type it all out again, but the whole sorry tale is
here, if you haven't seen it and are curious.

QOTW: I'm re-reading The Beggar Maid by Alice Munro.

[summergirl1211]

tiresiastheblond, oh my goodness. I'm so sorry about everything that has happened to you this cycle. I don't blame you at all for being pissed off. I hope you find another RE that can work with you to give their professional guidance and care, but allow some feedback from you as well. Sending you big hugs lady. I hope you get some information on your P4 as well.

[beachdreamer]

tiresiastheblond, I'm angry and frustrated for you. I hope things go well with getting in with a new dr for May.

[bazinga]

Struggling to stay on top of life this week so a little late to check in myself...

wirt2cute, live your smiley update

summergirl1211, I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow. Good luck!

@usernameedit, this has been covered already but that mistake is really inexcusable.

sleepymonkey, good luck to you. I'm sorry you're feeling conflicted.

beachdreamer, did the house live up to your expectations?

tiresiastheblond, I'm shoo sorry you've had this happen to you. I really hope you can find a new RE to work with soon.

AFM...

What are you doing this month? The usual as we finish testing. DH had his SA last week but I need to call for the results (hoping no news is good news). HSG is Friday.

What's your mood? Anxious, nervous, avoiding thinking about what comes next. Turning 40 this week is not helping the happy, although we're taking a short break to get some sunshine and relaxation at the weekend so I shouldn't really complain.

QOTW: I just finished watching the last series of Suits. And am still working my way through last months GKU book club book - the nightingale. Enjoyed/ enjoying both.

[wannabmama]

bazinga happy birthday this week! Hope you enjoy the weekend break!

[wirt2cute]

tiresiastheblond, ((hugs)) I am so sorry your FET was cancelled.

[beachdreamer]

bazinga, the house was a bit of a letdown. It's the 2nd one I've been really excited about, only to walk away disappointed. I've got to stop getting my hopes up.

I hope your HSG goes alright tomorrow and that you enjoy your weekend!

What are you doing this month? Waiting for next month.  Had my follow up appointment with the RE (after 6 months letrozole & TI) on Monday.  We're green lighted to keep going with letrozole & TI - though he wants me to have a "hycosy" after 2/3 more cycles (earlier if I want) and strongly suggesting repeating DHs SA (haven't since 2012), both of which are fair.  I was just so happy that he said we could keep going, I think I'd worked it up in my head so much, since the start of our fourth medicated cycle last fall, that I was overwhelmed with relief!
Where are you at in your journey? cycle 7? cd29, waiting for AF.
What is your mood?

QOTW: What are you binge watching, if your not watching, what are you reading?  Waiting for the fourth book of The Lunar Chronicles from my audio book library, so I'm listening to "Nevermore" by James Patterson (Maximum Ride series) and forgot how poorly written I find them...

[summergirl1211]

hammysmommy, what's a hycosy?

hammysmommy , what's a hycosy?

Similar to an HSG but different.   Haven't had time to look it up yet.   I know it's an ultrasound test and they'll be able to look at my uterus and tubes, but don't know anything more yet.   Trying to avoid going down the Dr. Google rabbit hole.

[hammysmommy]

bazinga - hope your HSG today goes/went well. FX on DH's SA results! And hooray for a weekend enjoying sunshine!

tiresiastheblond - I'm sorry, that sucks. Hope you can get in with the other RE soon!

beachdreamer - sorry the house was a bummer

sleepymonkey - tell me more about this 1-2-3 Magic. DS is a twonager also and exploring his dramatic tendencies with every tantrum.

@usernameedit - sorry your OB office was dumb/careless/stupid.

summergirl1211 - hope all went well with your us yesterday! hooray for good follies!

Thanks for the check-in wirt2cute!

Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (usually shortened to HyCoSy) is a specialised ultrasound procedure used to assess the inside of the uterus and the fallopian tubes. It involves inserting a solution of contrast material (called Exem Foam™) into the uterine cavity and observing the flow within the fallopian tubes.

Thanks google.  Though I find it interesting that all the links that came up were Australian...

[bazinga]

Thanks for thinking of me beachdreamer and hammysmommy!

Update:: my HSG was normal which is a huge relief. DHs SA was also normal for counts, morphology etc. But they noted a high pH that they've referred him to someone for that. Dr Google want really helpful here, but I'm surprised everything looked normal if this is a major issue. Wishful thinking? Does anyone have any info or experience of this?

I guess I'll discuss with the Dr next week. Right now I'm enjoying lunch and a Margarita

[summergirl1211]

bazinga, glad your HSG went well! I'm not familiar with high pH for male issues but I hope it's nothing major. A margarita sounds delicious!
