let's check in!

[Unknown]

TTC#2 since October, 2014
We are not seeking the assistance of our RE this time even though this time around I'm AMA.
CD10 and WTO. Since I have crazy cycles I chart, and usually don't O until CD20 (last cycle it wasn't until CD31). If all goes well I should be testing on Valentine's Day.

Hey ladies... just a hello as ntnp but keeping up on my amaer's! Continued best wishes

TTC #1 since Dec '14, with 1 MMC
Altered diet & going to acupuncture
Currently CD15, looks like O is later than usual & hoping my whole cycle is extended (goal of OB & acupuncturist)
Due to personal crazy stuff, we haven't BD during the fertile window the past few months so FX for good timing this cycle.

Building from the ground up can be exciting!! I'm willing to put some blood & sweat into it! We can do it!!

hi all!

TTC#1 since August. 7/8DPO (FF keeps changing my crosshairs)
we had decent timing - i charted/mucinex this month
i'm feeling a bit crampy/bloated today but no other symptoms.

i'll test on Sat/Sunday depending on if AF shows up or if I lose patience - whichever comes first.

if it's another BFN this month I'll get an appt to start on next steps

History in siggy, but TTC #2 since 3/2014. Just finished my testing - HSG was last week, and was NBD, which is a relief. We were gone this weekend on a little weekend trip, and I O'd yesterday, so our timing was great. FX for us, but if it's a no go, I have my first RE apt mid-Feb.

TTC#2 since March 2014
My tests are normal. Never got an HSG or SA.
I'm at 12DPO and feel nothing. I expect CD1 in two days.
We had good timing last month, and I am really bummed it didn't work out. (My temps are going lower instead of getting higher.)

(child mentioned below)

I've been taking DS to the playground and, TBH, being around so many pregnant mothers has been hard on the heart. I'm trying to stay positive. I'm truly happy for them and know now that we are fortunate to have conceived the first time. One of the benefits of TB has been more understanding of and respect for IF. I hope it's OK that I'm saying this.

DH might be on a business trip during next month's FW. I'm hoping that he can come back on O-1.

@kellbell I've been thinking about you. I hope you have received information on Apollo.

[wannabmama]

I'm having a hard time keeping up with both places, but will go with the flow and participate as much as I can to get this board hoppin'!

I'm on CD 3. I knew this month was no good timing, but of course took some crazy pills at the end of TWW and thought...maybe...

DH has been very cute about doubling efforts in the FW, he's just clueless about timing and I hate constantly having to remind him but he told me I should knock him over the head and drag him to bed next time...so he better get ready this month, ha!

We are traveling to Belize in March, so if I wasn't on the clock so to speak, I'd take this month off of TTC, but given that time is not on my side, I just can't sit back (plus DH says he's excited to try more and no way I'm putting a damper on that!)

Hi

*losses mentioned*

The short and dirty version:
Married MH 2 years ago (both divorced with no kids) We started trying right away and have since had 3 losses, one with twins.

I will be 40 in June and Sunday MH and I decided to stop trying so I am now childless, not by choice.

I know I don't belong on a TTC board anymore but I would love to continue cheering you ladies on and providing support if you'll have me

Hello Ladies.
TTC#1
Recent HSG showed both tubes completely blocked and only option is IVF. So here we go. Laparoscopy next week to remove both tubes. Good luck to everyone.

[callmeKD]

TTC #2
Using OPKs and FF
CD13, no O yet
I've been off BCP since Oct. 14.

Lurker
Some history -
Mom to DS, he'll be 18 months on the first. 1st tri miscarriage before him, got pregnant immediately. My doctor didn't say anything about waiting, and I didn't know it was a thing until after I got pregnant. He's very affectionate, spoiled, and he loves to talk.
DH and I have some changes to make to our relationship before we TTC#2. If all goes as planned, and we are where we want to be, we will start trying this summer. I would like to start temping again soon though. Not on the pill, but using other methods of BC (less reliable ones!)

Welcome! It's very important that your relationship is strong before moving forward with the TTC journey so it's good to hear you're working in it.

Good luck!

It's frustrating to feel like your family isn't complete yet even though you are grateful at the same time to have your LO. FX that your timing is good next month.

Hi ladies!

TTC #1 since about September-ish.

This cycle we are gearing up for my first IUI. I was on Letrozole 12.5mg CD 3-7. CD 8 today and go in for an ultrasound on CD 11, Friday. I'm not sure what to think. I haven't felt anything in the ovary region so who knows. I usually O around CD 12 or CD 13 so I'm hoping I have some juicy eggs in there on Friday. FX for an IUI over the weekend.

Something kind of cute is that my older sister is also TTC #1 and is going in for an IUI tomorrow. I pray we can both get pregnant!

[KirstenAlecia]

I have made my way over as well! How are you ladies??

I find these boards a little harder on the eyes. Im sure I will adjust.

Nothing really changing for me at the moment. Still benched. I have an appt to be made next week for follow up after MC and Im hoping to get the ok to exercise. Work is gonna get busy for me so I hope I have the time to participate as much as possible. If Im quiet its just cause Im CRAZY busy!

[WVaRN]

TTC #1 for us.

TTC since marriage we hit the 6 month mark on the 16th and 8th cycle, since my cycles have been super short at times.

We are temping, PNV, and baby Aspirin due to my MTHFR. I also take B12 due to low B12. I also have sarcoidosis in my lungs, sinuses and nose, but it is in remission and I was Oked with Dr to TTC.

My next step is to try to find a Dr. I'm calling OB/Gyn this week for a yearly and try to get a referral. No RE close to me, but there is a fertility specialist closer. I just need to go to GYN see what his opinion is and check what my insurance will cover and find how far I can drive to a dr.

hi new over here..left TB

TTC#2 since December 2014

Just got my first ovulation this morning!!! I am getting some tonight lol wish me luck! A little worried though, I may have to get my gallbladder out and that will set me back

[katie0919]

Hi there, everyone!

TTC# 2 since December 2013 with two losses, one chemical pregnancy and one MMC at 8 weeks in September (after first Clomid/trigger/progesterone medicated cycle). RE has diagnosed me with minor ovulation dysfunction/LP defect

I did another Clomid cycle in Nov. that resulted in a BFN. H went to see a urologist and found out he has two varicocele so we got a DNA and sperm analysis done and have not done any more medicated cycles while we were waiting for the results. His follow up was yesterday - count, mobility and motility were above normal range, but DNA fragmentation was 2 points higher than they want it to be ("borderline"). Urologist does not think it's enough to do the surgery to correct the varicocele since it means 3-6 months recovery. He called my RE to discuss and once my next cycle starts, we will talk about the next steps. I'm currently CD 21 and in the TWW, but had LOTS of spotting (enough for a liner) yesterday at 4 DPO so I know this was definitely a weak O month and I'm already considering myself out this month. I was really hoping for a miracle BFP before I have to start pouring money into treatments again (I'm 100% OOP)

[vh2014]

I finally made it over here and past the activation. Hi!

I'll figure it out soon enough I'm sure.

Me 41, DH 44 now... High FSH and thin lining... waiting for results back from RE. CD118 and counting. If everything goes as anticipated straight to IVF and DE- but we have to talk about that one. DH might be a little weirded out by using sister's eggs and I like the fact they would be genetically related eggs so... there will be a discussion if we get there. Hoping we can go with plan A and the bloodwork comes back with some eggs left. Meanwhile just making sure we don't miss my last good egg somehow.

[nikolie93]

colinsfebmommy have fun HIO tonight! And I hope you don't have to get that gallbladder surgery

katie0919 I am sorry for your previous losses, welcome. I am also sorry you're 100% OOP again *hugs*


vh2014 I have all the warm fuzzies seeing your name over here!

I got all warm and fuzzy seeing everyone else here too!  Still in the adjustment period for the interface but I'll get there.  the last move with the mods that were trying to be professional was just too much so I took the time to activate finally.
