Hi ladies! 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:What habit or trait do you most want to pass on/or not pass on to your kids?
TTC, without meds, hoping for a wonderful "surprise!
bleebebebebe- I had an appointment with my RE yesterday for a fluid ultrasound. All looked fine. So I got my calendar and a birth control Rx. BCPs should start in about 2 weeks with my next period and meds begin in mid March. It's kind of starting to feel real that we are really about to go through this again. Getting nervous too....
cinciem- Just on to another cycle...
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- Onto cycle 2b, cd2 today. O should be right around V-Day, hoping that helps! If not, I have RE appt 2/25
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 came and went and was horrible. We are still trying on our own, a miracle baby would be nice but ya know. We filed our taxes and found we'll be getting back enough to cover the FET, so that's a load off our chest. I weaned from the pump so this cycle was all jacked up, I don't know if I should expect AF this weekend or if it'll be another 50+ day cycle. Annoying!
Okitty- Just waiting for AF, was due yesterday. No big breakthroughs for us.
MAbride0808-Cycle 3 was a bust. We are just going to continue to TTC until our RE appointment in March.
Thosethreewords- Things looks like a go...so far. I have my mock transfer/SIS on Monday. Looks like I'll start BCP around the end of the month with ER/ET in March. My Day 3 FSH, E2, and prolactin were all lower than they were 2 years ago - I'm not sure how that happened. I'm glad my RE didn't bother with my AMH. I was a poor responder 18 months ago, so, I'm trying to manage my expectations.
TTC, with treatments
amandaleigh1- BFFN
Basically everything looked perfect- Lining was great, embryo was highly graded upon thaw by the embryologist, and the transfer itself was smooth. So WTF didn't it work? Well, my RE basically said it was likely that only 50% of my embryos would be normal, so maybe we transferred one of the bad ones. Grrr. The success rates for someone like me is around 50%. Some win and some lose.
What is next? We will do a break cycle wherein I will have an endometrial biopsy (my insistence), and they will look for endometreitis. Then I will go into another standard programmed FET. It will hopefully be carefully orchestrated around a May vacation-- Should be fun traveling with my meds. I can't believe it will be almost summer before I get another chance at this.
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 –FSH levels too high. Cycle canceled. Phone conference with RE on Monday. Hoping it'll miraculously lower so I can try again next month.
Efhoping2010- Supposed to have my annual this week and some more blood work for the "big clinic". Waiting for AF to have my Day 3 labs drawn and sent to be run.
EmAzeem- My beta came in today at 577 and progesterone at 19. So of course I'm on more meds (oral progesterone) then second beta wed at 7am (central) 2nd Beta 1256 I believe. I can't remember exact numbers but all looks great. Progesterone went up to 22. Friday is final beta draw then we schedule for an ultrasound.
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 started estrace on Monday night and have monitoring appointment on Monday. Estimated date for FET is March 10. Excited but a lot more nervous this
time around then I was with my fresh cycle.
HeatherHam10- I just finished provera a few days ago and I'm currently waiting on AF. Once she arrives we will begin bcp and prepare for our fet the 2nd week in April so most likely April 9th. I'm feeling very nervous for so many reasons. Ds will be 8 months then. We have 2 shots at an fet and then wed be back for a fresh which I dread :\
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 just finished my suppression check. This has been the worlds lightest period but my lining is thin and my ovaries are dormant. AFC was 7
Likely start stims tomorrow and am hitting the road now for my 5h drive back home. I am trying to beat a big storm.
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- Just got home from my transfer! Our RE and embryologist both recommended a SET. Since we have TWO additional frosties with one more maybe, we took their advice! I'm PUPO!
I have a progesterone/estrogen draw Friday and beta is 3/5!
So here is the big question...to POAS or Beta or Bust? If you say POAS...when? (This is a fresh transfer with an HCG trigger).
Pam MG – Had my beta this morning and it was 164!!! Next one is on Monday (what a stupid long wait).
Phishgirl29- CD7 today of my FET cycle. I go in for monitoring on Sunday for them to check my lining. I was put on estrace to thicken up my lining. Who know when my transfer be but I have a feeling it will be late next week or early the following week.
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-I had an ultrasound today before they thawed our last embryo and there appeared to be fluid in my uterus and my lining looked off. So, I was cancelled again. I am not sure what we are going to try next.
trigirl79 – First appt was last Hi ladies! Good luck to those ladies cycling!!
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
coastalchristina- I have my protocol in place and will start with my next period.
Blueinred - I saw a different RE last Friday. Good news and bad news is that nothing untoward jumped out at him. In all 3 FETs lining was within the normal range, albeit on the low end. E2 levels were fine. He would not change FET protocol except to do an endometrial scratch. Obviously he can't guarantee a BFP and I am really scared to even try again.
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.
