TTC 11/20

This is a combined TTC thread for EVERYONE currently TTC. Whether you're a first timer, a many timer, or an old timer come on in and pass the time as we struggle through WTO and the dreaded TWW.



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;)

Month/Cycle: Been trying since March 2017 so 21 I guess?

Timing: None yet, sometime this weekend hopefully

CD/DPO: CD12

Symptoms: Nothing yet

RRCS: Just hoping this is our month. There are so many pregnant ladies around me and it really sucks to not be one of them.

[octoberrust]

midna yes pregnant women everywhere. I wish I could hide them irl like I do on facebook.

Cycle/month: 17, IUI#2

Timing: EOD since CD 9, but still waiting to O

CD/DPO: CD17

Symptoms: n/a

RRCS: Still haven’t gotten a positive opk. The last several cycles I O’d by CD 15. I’ve been really stressed the last couple of weeks. The biggest stressor is wondering if H being on clomid for the last 3 months has made a difference in his numbers. He was due for a repeat SA 2 weeks ago but since the only local lab that performs the test charges almost twice as much as doing an IUI we opted to go back to the RE for an IUI. So of course I’m going to O late. I’m kind of wishing now that he just did the repeat SA so it would have taken some of the pressure off.

midna +1 to having pregnant ladies all around. I love all my pregnant friends and family members. But it is also a painful reminder of my infertility journey. And I feel like it is seeing everyone go to a party I wasn't invited to.

Month/Cycle: Long. Ass. 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, O, O+1
CD/DPO: 19, 7DPO
Symptoms: I had tender breasts for the past day or so. And then I woke up at 3AM with VERY sensitive and tender nipples. I wish I had some sort of cupless bra or special protective cone for the nips because they are VERY not happy with even a loose bra on. I've also been extremely tired the past couple days, but I'm chalking that up to having asthma difficulties because of poor air quality.
RRCS: I have been testing my trigger with Wondfos and as of yesterday night, I had cleared it. So now I'm just going to keep going to see if/when a line reappears. Also, I'm a POAS addict. I am really really really hopeful this cycle. I feel like we did all the steps correctly - I was religious about my gonal-f, timed intercourse perfectly with my ovidrel and follicle scans, I've been eating healthier, not drinking, and (with the exception of this week o asthma) working out 4-5x/week. I'm doing the crinone even though it sucks. Please let this be the cycle!

Month/Cycle: 27/ FET #2


Timing: FET


CD/DPO: CD1


Symptoms: Holy cramps batman - medicated cycles are always so much worse!


RRCS: Of course CD1 is today, I'm supposed to have a baseline ultrasound and blood work on CD2 but since that's Thanksgiving it won't happen. Who knows what they'll have me do, haven't heard back from the clinic yet. Also, if my schedule is exactly the same as my last FET then transfer day will be when H is OOT for the Army. Ugh! I don't have anyone who can drive me and help me watch Cal. Might have to beg my dad to come out again (he came last minute for my egg retrieval) in Sept (my mom's mom has dementia and lives with my parents, so my mom has to stay with her). Timing is such a pain, but doing the FET before the end of the year will save us thousands of dollars.

I got a positive opk this morning so IUI #2 is set for tomorrow morning.

[octoberrust]

charliefox I’m sorry it looks like your H will be OOT for transfer day. FX your dad can come help you out again.
As if IF didn’t suck enough, trying to coordinate the timing and logistics of everything brings it to a whole other level of suck.

Thinking of you today

Thinking of you octoberrust!

Thank you Yogurt and charliefox.
We did not get good news this morning. The SA results were actually worse than the last one. His count is still below 1 million and the motility dropped from 14% to 6%. We are meeting with the urologist again on the 18th to see if he has any other suggestions. The RE said he doesn’t recommend IUI unless the count is at least 5 million. He pretty much told us that IVF is our only chance. H does not want to do IVF, but said we could talk about it after we see what the urologist says.
I haven’t let it sink in yet that our journey may be over. I had to go into work directly after so I’m trying to keep it together.

[Yogurt]

Oh octoberrust I am so sorry. I hope your H comes around to IVF. I wish I could hug you.

[charliefox]

octoberrust, I am so so sorry. I really hope YH changes his mind, I'm glad he's open to talking about it. Any idea why he doesn't want to do it? Is it the money or something else?

[charliefox]

AFM, had my baseline u/s & blood work today and was cleared to start this FET cycle. Transfer is set for Dec. 11th. Betas will be on Dec. 21st. When I said I wanted to squeeze this last FET in before the end of the year I did not think about the timing around Christmas....either way that will be stressful. Oh well, here we go!

[sharebear]

octoberrust I’m so sorry. Hopefully you both have some time to process and can talk more about it to understand one another’s perspectives.

charliefox wow! Hooray for getting a cycle in before 2019! FX this one is the one that gets you out of here!

Month/Cycle: I don't remember when we started, but it's been a long time. Over a year.

Timing: Gonna get this party started soon

CD/DPO: CD 12

Symptoms: None. But I think I'm getting sick, so I can tell you about those symptoms. LOL

RRCS: I started thinking this week that my son may end up being an only if this doesn't happen soon. I'm too old and tired to keep this going for much longer.

[midna]

There is ANOTHER pregnant woman at work. That means 5 currently and 7 since we started trying ourselves. I can’t take anymore. I’m tempted to just call in sick the rest of the week and lie in bed for days.
