TTC August 31

[rikkiandjulie]

Hello all!

DW just had her ultrasound after following the same regimen as last time. She has one follicle at 18, and one tag along at 12. The 12 probably won't do anything though. A bit of a bummer as we were hoping for two great ones like last time. Not feeling so hopeful this time. We will trigger tomorrow and insem on Thursday.

Also, I'm HATING and loving my new car all at once. Apparently something is wrong with the stabilitrack and I need to get it looked at. I usually NEVER have problems buying used cars from this lot, actually I've bought 4 from there, but suddenly this one wants to give me trouble. Certainly a stressor we don't need during TTC. Hopefully I can get it fixed and it not cost a fortune.

Oh boy, here we go!!

I just got word from my RN that the Dr wants to start me on Letrozole/Femara, on CD1 with trigger. I am super excited and a little nervous.

CD1 should be around 11 Sept. OMG... That's 10 days away!!! Wow... Time flies.

Anyone else taking or took Femara?

I got my FET schedule today on Cd1. I start estrogen like now and go in for a few checks. Then my actual transfer is scheduled for 9/22 right now.

We move on 9/17. It's gonna be a crazy month.

DW takes letrazole. No side effects at all, except growing follicles. SIL also took it and got pregnant the 2nd month on it after trying for numerous months.

Mondays have been crazy lately so haven't been posting much.

I've been on lupron and estrogen pills for almost a week now. They started them early as opposed to putting me on BCPs for a week. I didn't realize they could do that. We've all been getting over a nasty cold over here too. I'm almost back to normal but not quite. I have a scan on Thursday.

And as I said in above post FET 9/22. It's our last FET. I think it's stressing L out. Since I was sick this last week she is worried about me doing it. I told her we were not going to take another month off and we still have 3 weeks until the actual transfer. I think she feels like it's the last chance for her so she wants everything to be perfect but it never is going to be perfect. I'm trying to make her feel better but not really happening. I basically think she is worrying about irrelevant things, but I get that it is stressful for her., I obviously really want it to work too . If it doesn't though, we are going to go back to me doing IUIs.

Other than being sick things are good. Good luck to everyone in TWW and with procedures coming up.

I haven't taken femara but it took letrazole and it worked well.

Well, today is CD1, but before the period arrived, I got my very first BFN. My period was a day earlier than I would have expected it, given when I ovulated. I've been telling myself "I guess that wasn't our baby." It all seemed so straightforward from the outside, but TTC is emotional hell. For those of you who have been doing it for years and are still sane, I applaud you. This sucks and I just started.

Moving on. The nice thing about having a 23-25 day cycle is that you are never very far away from ovulating again. I expect to ovulate at the end of next week. So a week from tomorrow we go back to pick up our giant tank of sperm and start again. Maybe this time?

Sorry about the BFN. Hope this cycle goes better.

Sorry for the bfn. It sucks. And there are many days when I am actually questioning my sanity.

Yay! I have a check Thursday too. Though I may have to move it to Friday.

BFN. Again.

Sad, but have some renewed hope with IVF on the horizon. But also terrified because- holy shit we're going to do IVF.

And we have to pick a new sperm donor because they ran out of ours.

Due to the wifey's work travel, we won't meet with the doc until 9/9. Hopefully we can still cycle in October.

[bexincanada]

Sorry to hear about the BFN's humorme00 and esquette.

Pretty boring over here. Next appointment is Thursday, cd10, then the ovulation wait. I'm just hoping for a smoother cycle than last time. There's a stat holiday on cd14 so I'm hoping that doesn't put a wrench in things either.

I haven't taken femara but it took letrazole and it worked well.

Ok, I feel a little stupid as I forgot femara is the brand name for letrazol. Anyway, I took it one cycle and that was the cycle we got pregnant ( 4 previous IUIs). This was over two years ago). I have one tube that is closed. I remember the cycle it worked I had a good follicle on both sides (as opposed to one side on the other attempts).
