[kensie5226]

I'm all of whack on when I should be posting so I'm just throwing this up and getting back on track.

@nikiswmr

QOTW: all time changes suck, but what's easiest for you. Spring ahead or Fall back?

[kensie5226]

IUI yesterday. Now we wait.

Fall back.

[dp21]

Sorry for the late reply, so my FET is scheduled for March 23rd. I am taking 8mg of estrogen per day and it is messing with my brain!!! I feel really exhausted, anxious, and super nervous all the time.

On top of it, this week is a big week, got my first job interview for my new degree!

QOTW: For me, I really don't care but I'm nervous about getting my daughter on track with the time changes lol

[ldubhawksfan]

As promised kensie5226 I am going to jump back in since last cycle was a bust.


:::::::TW, loss mentioned::::::::::

We started TTCA last fall and we're surprised to conceive on our own. Unfortunately at 11 weeks, I lost the baby. That was just after the new year. We were benched 1 cycle and this is now our second cycle trying again.


QOTW: usually fall forward is easier for me. This weekend was rough on DD!!

[nikiswimr]

kensie5226 everything crossed for you lady

dp21 that's coming up soon! Good luck with the interview!

ldubhawksfan I'm so, so sorry for your loss lady. What's the plan going forward?

AFM had a normal ute on HSG and mock transfer was actually easier this time around. I start Aygestin for my FET Sunday, transfer is 4/28.

QOTW: surprisingly E did way better with Spring Forward (which I usually hate)

[kensie5226]

Welcome back, ldubhawksfan!

dp21, the progesterone is making me exhausted. I feel ya.

Thanks for the page! I have been stalking but didn't know if it would be ok to join.

We are TFAS now that AF returned last week. We are giving it a few months trying naturally before going back to the RE since DD was a surprise bfp. If that's ok with everyone, I would love to join!

I'm on CD 11 with negative opks thus far! We are rocking the SMEP so having way more sex than I prefer. 😉

[kensie5226]

westiemom, of course that's ok. We tried for 6 months naturally before we went back to IUI. Come play with us.

[nikiswimr]

westiemom I well remember the SMEP, your postpartum vagina is braver than mine! And yes of course you're welcome. I've been sitting here NTNP leading up to my FET.

[ldubhawksfan]

nikiswimr thanks. We will try again on our own. The surprise bfp threw me for a loop because our original plan was to try on our own until probably this summer and go back to our RE. I know if I am not pregnant by our EDD in July again, it's going to be really painful. But knowing that we got pregnant without assistance really makes me wonder if we can again. I just don't know about waiting the year until next Jan to call our RE again.

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, would have to wait the year again? My insurance didn't make us try again for a year.

[ldubhawksfan]

Thanks guys. I know we don't technically need to wait a year, but I wonder what our dr will think since we did get a bfp. But you are right ketchup, we have the previous IF diagnosis and should go back to our RE when we feel it's right. Unfortunately when I got the bfp, I told my employer that we didn't need the IF rider insurance for 2017. Womp Womp. So if we go this summer, hopefully the re-testing would still be covered under my normal insurance, but our IUIs wouldn't be this time....unless we wait until next year.

At this point, I need to just try to focus on healing and trying on our own, and then have some conversations with DH in a few months.

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, totally understand. Take your time.

[dp21]

nikiswimr, yay for having a date!!!
ldubhawksfan, sorry to see you back here....big hugs...... I am also in the loss check-in in IF if you need more support in that arena. I can't imagine. We are here for you.
westiemom, welcome!

[nikiswimr]

ldubhawksfan the insurance thing is tough. Definitely take the time you need.

[kensie5226]

Got a BFP on two FRERs and a digi. Beta is Thursday. I guess this check in needs a new leader.

kensie5226, congratulations!! Thats so wonderful!

Hey all! We aren't TTC yet but I'll lurk for now to learn some stuff. My daughter is 8 months and will be 1 in July. We have pgs tested embryos in the freezer at the RE and so we will be tfas via FET. The main thing that's putting us off doing a FET until the fall-ish is breastfeeding. She's a nursing champ and I plan to do a year minimum. Especially since we had a ton of bf issues in the very beginning. I don't think FET is compatible with nursing though I've heard I need to be dried up for a month first.

I hadn't even thought about needing to do a mock transfer or hsg again until I saw that mentioned on this board. Maybe I'll schedule those in a few months to get the ball rolling. Not sure how far in advance to meet with the RE and come up with a plan if we are planning for early fall. I wonder if she will make me go on birth control pill first before starting estrace. So many questions.

I already talked about a lot of that in the BF thread so won't repeat. I did have to respect HSG and mock transfer and did them a couple weeks ago. Worked perfectly because everything was still so suppressed from BF we didn't have to schedule around a cycle. Similarly, I didn't need BCP before starting Estrace. Never got a PP cycle. And my prolactin is back to normal nursing 2-3x daily. But every RE is a bit different.

***Lurking***
katelm, I met with my RE about 3 months before we were planning to go back for an FET. It was nice because I was able to talk through what needed to be done prior, and didn't feel like I was under any pressure to get it done immediately. In my case, my RE did want me to stop BFing, and only one test had to be redone.
