As this is a combined thread there will be talk of LC, losses, and IF struggles. If any of these are hard for you please just let us know in your first post and I'm sure the lovely ladies on here will be happy to add TWs to accommodate.



Feel free to add a little intro to help us get to know you better;)





Please come join us!

[sharebear]

Month/Cycle: Longass time. Started winter 2015/2016. Some benching for other health stuff in mid 2017. Off the bench March 2018. CPs June and September.
Timing:-3,-2
CD/DPO: 10, -2
Symptoms: None that are major. Injections have started to sting a bit, even though I've been rotating sites. A headache that has come and, probably stress related
RRCS: Follicle scan today looked good! An 18 and a 14 on one side (plus a bajillion little 6-10s) and a 14 on the other (plus another billion 6-12s). RE feels confident about the 18 being the dominant follicle and I'll do the trigger tomorrow morning. RE puts O at Wednesday-ish. Eeee so excited! Which is weird to be excited about giving yourself yet another injection. But ee! Then back to my old friend Crinone and I'll have a blood test in two weeks. Since I can't accurately POAS early with a trigger, I'm 90% planning on just testing that trigger out with lots o wondfos. I'll be my own science experiment to see how long it takes to fade away.

Month/Cycle: 6/7? I don't know. Chemical in August.

Timing: n/a

CD/DPO: CD 9

Symptoms: Still bleeding from my mid-cycle period. I go a day with light/no bleeding then start up heavy again like today. I don't get it.

RRCS: Had some bloodwork taken friday and got a few things back - thyroid is normal and serum preg test was negative (as I expected). We are still waiting on all the other stuff so hopefully I can get an answer. If everything is fine, I may push to have an untrasound to check for cysts or some other irregularity.

Thanks for starting sharebear, I've always tested out my trigger and I'm so glad I did because it always takes the full 14 days to leave my system and if I'd had a false positive from that I would've been crushed.
sarahh, sorry your body is being an a-hole.




Month/Cycle: 27/FET#1


Timing: FET


CD/DPO: 6dp5dt = 11dpo


Symptoms: Just the normal sore boobs and slight nausea from the progesterone. Last night I felt awful though, I was sweaty, hot, dizzy, headache, and ran to the bathroom to dry heave a few times. Super weird and too early to be a pregnancy thing. Oh, also totally hit a nerve with my PIO injection yesterday and it HURT. It still hurts today. Ouch.


RRCS: Haven't tested yet. I asked H when he though I should test and he was like "ugh, never? I'm so nervous!". H is really optimistic and has been through all 2+ years of this, so for him to be scared to test I know it's getting to him. I told him I would at least test on Thurs because if it's negative I want time to process before I have to go in for betas on Fri.

[sharebear]

sarahh I hope there's some sort of good answer soon. Mid Cycle bleeding is annoying and adds to the mind F that is TTC.
charliefox I'm excited for you! And want to hug you and dh. Keeping fingers crossed for something good on Thursday and Friday for you.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

Timing: ??? Not sure

CD/DPO: CD 15

Symptoms: I've been a hot mess emotionally.

RRCS:
So, I didn't start OPKs on time and I think I might have already ovulated early? Because OPKS are light, and I thought I had geared up to ovulate. I'm still having some weirdness with my body since the whole "went into septic shock" thing. My period was almost a week late last cycle. , So I may not ovulate yet for a few days yet either. We'll see. I'm taking OPKs still.

Cycle/month: 17

Timing: n/a

CD/DPO: CD9

Symptoms: n/a

RRCS: I’m hoping to get a positive opk Friday or Saturday morning so neither H not I have to miss work for the IUI.
H dropped the bomb a few days ago that he doesn’t want to do IVF if this doesn’t work. He said it’s just too much pressure. I’m crushed and pissed. I thought we’d at least have a conversation about it and we’d wait until we found out the results from the SA they do before the IUI before we decided anything. I hate that I’m going into this IUI in a terrible head space.
Some days I don’t know if my marriage is going to survive having to deal with IF again. We’ve been married for just over 6 years and besides when I was pregnant with DS we’ve spent pretty much our whole marriage ttc.

Hi everyone! I went here for a little bit and then I didn't and now I do again, I guess. *waves*

I have a 3 y/o (J15 fist bump to sharebear and sarahh) and had a pretty heartbreaking loss this summer. Been trying again for a couple months now, and my period started this morning after what I had been hoping were pregnancy symptoms. Oh well.

[sammysam]

stayingblonde so glad to see you back here ❤❤❤

[stayingblonde]

sammysam Hi! xoxo Same to you!

[midna]

Hey ladies, I’m coming back too though I wasn’t around much before I left anyways. I had one CP last November and a MC in April at 8 weeks. Been trying since March 2017. Have one 3 year old daughter. I was lurking in one of the other threads and someone was talking about how everyone in their BMB seemed to already have their second and I’m feeling similar, there are 4 pregnant ladies at my work right now and two that are off on mat. leave and I feel like I’m dying a little bit more everyday when they start talking about their pregnancies. It’s killing me inside. This month is also a shitty month because my due date from the MC was this month and I’m just in a really bad headspace and needed to get it out and talk to other ppl who understand. Anyways... hi.

[sarahh]

stayingblonde, good to see you here! I hope you aren't here long though!

I'm not sure if I'm here or not but I'm still checking in!

[sarahh]

Welcome midna! I'm sorry this is a hard month for you. I get the same way during my loss months especially when still TTC. I hope we can make these months a little easier for you!

[charliefox]

stayingblonde, welcome!

midna, I'm so sorry this is a hard month for you. It was me talking about everyone on my BMB already having siblings, anyway it's super tough and I promise you we get it. Unfortunately, many of us have been around these parts for a while, between losses and IF, so we get it and we're here for you.

[sharebear]

Hi and welcome back stayingblonde midna! Hopefully our ranks thin out soon as we move on to new BMBs. <3

XP from IF:

Betas were negative. No surprise to me. Since I knew they were going to be negative I emailed my coordinator in the morning with some questions on how we could proceed with our last transfer. Luckily she was able to talk to our RE and when my coordinator called to confirm the beta was negative she also had a plan all laid out.

So, we're jumping right into our 3rd embryo transfer of our last embryo. On Monday I'm doing an endometrial scratch as a hope to up our chances (I'll try anything at this point!), then I'll have a baseline ultrasound and start back on Estrace. Per my calculations FET should be on or around Dec. 10th. I'll get a solid day at my baseline. FX 3rd time's the charm!

Bright side is that I get to stop stabbing myself with PIO for a few weeks (which is great because both sides of my butt/hips are numb - anyone else get that?) and I get to drink on Thanksgiving. I'm just glad to have a plan and be moving forward so quickly. I'm trying not to think of what we'll do if this next FET fails.

[sammysam]

charliefox I'm so sorry:( I know I shouldn't be posting on here but I'm rooting so hard for you and needed to jump in to tell you that I was talking to my cousin last week. She and her wife both did IVF to have their children. She told me that her successful cycle was after an endometrial scratch. She said for her it was the magic they needed. Her wife's was after a uterine surgery. So I have all the hope this will be the one! And I'm so glad you get a bit of a break from the injections and get to jump right in to your next FET. I think of you daily and read all your updates. So I am silently stalking you and always always cheering for you!

[sharebear]

charliefox I’m so sorry for the negative beta. I’m keeping everything crossed that the endometrial scratch does the trick and this transfer is successful. We are all cheering so hard for you!!!!

[beenthere]

charliefox I am so so sorry for the negative beta. Fingers crossed for the third cycle and your procedure Monday goes well
