TTC Check-In November 9th

[JustJudy]

CD1 is here, we're officially done TTC for 2015. We have an appointment with a RE December 4 and I'm just hoping she can help us finally get a BFP. I will be drinking my way through the holidays for sure.

QOTW: I would love to travel to England during Queen Elizabeth I's reign, but only if I can hang out in the palace

Today is 5dpt3dpiui. 2nd cycle. RE said that if it doesn't work this month. One more month at max dosage and then on to IVF. If we have to do IVF we need to pick a new donor. I got to see a picture of my wife yesterday. She is so serious standing at attention. It's kind of bittersweet. 2 more weeks til I get to see and hold her.

QOTW: Hmmmm.... 1930's with a pile of cash. Buy up stocks and bonds and leave for myself. 1940's too. Be a part of the greatest generation.

JustJudy sorry about CD1
I'm glad you are moving forward the RE. And yes, you deserve ALL the drinks over the holidays.

Thanks @suesposa.

No news here really. BBT has confirmed that I did indeed O 24hours after my LH surge so that is great news.

We have no real plans until I get back from LA on the 25th. The break has been nice.

So I just spoke with J and the only way she can video chat with me for my appointment is to get killed (war games). Booo

She spent the better part of 20min trying to convince me that it would be perfectly fine for her to take a grenade and sit the rest of the training out (she's deployed before and is not deploying with this unit anyway since we have orders to move in a month). It really made me smile..in our quirky world, little things like this remind me why I fell in love with her. But I can't in good conscious allow her to let her squad down just for a 10min appt. So I'll just record it so she can see it when she comes home.

You sound like an adorable couple!

We're just starting the birth control for our December FET, following the freeze all on our first IVF cycle.

Woohoo. Spotting everyday and absolutely no sex drive. What more could a girl want?


QOTW: Time travel freaks me out. I'll stay right where I'm at thankyouverymuch.

Hey all. Sorry I've been MIA! I've been trying to keep myself busy with school and work and hanging out with people, and trying not to focus too too much on the TTC thing.

We did an at home ICI on Halloween, and I should be getting my period Thursday. So I'm going to test tomorrow morning. I've had the lightest of light spotting since last night, which doesn't rule anything out at this point. I feel kind of period-y though. So, I'll POAS in the morning and find out either way. I think we waited too long to inseminate this month, so we'll probably just try again in a few weeks. Although it sounds like I've ruled out the possibility of being pregnant this cycle, don't let my rational side fool you. I've already looked up the expected due date and had little fantasies about what it would be like to get a BFP tomorrow.

I'm worried that i have a super short luteal phase, and that we'll need to see an RE, which will be expensive and stressful. Kind of wish we were going with an KD with fresh sperm, so that at least this part would be a little cheaper, and the sperm would live a little longer. Sigh.

QOTW: I want to go see Star Trek for realsies. :-)

Looks like we are on track for IUI a week from Saturday. DW had a chat with the clinic and we will not be having our IUI cancelled again. At least they heard her and we will avoid this in the future.

BFN this morning. But no period yet either, which is good news for my luteal phase. If still no period in a few days, I'll retest. But I'm pretty bummed.

Sorry. That's exactly what happened to me last cycle.

Hey y'all.

My 7th IUI was a bust, so I am moving forward with IVF. I have one cycle off (to get some stuff done, like a saline sonogram, pap smear, required counseling session), and then in 27-ish days, with the start of my next cycle, I'll go on birth control. I'll be looking at egg retrieval probably the first week of January.

I'm excited to be trying something new, but so intimidated by the cost of it all.

Sending you good thoughts!

Well best of luck to you! I hope that this brings you your baby. I have you all in my thoughts.

CD1 here, of course it happens while on vacation. Figures right?! One more cycle of tracking and then an IUI in December. The RE really wants to go unmedicated with me, that makes me nervous.
