TTC 7/9

[Yogurt]

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;)

Please come join us!

[Radley]

Month/Cycle: 12/4AL

Timing: -2, 0

CD/DPO: 18/5

Symptoms: sore boobs, the norm.

RRCS: I think I’m having another bout of the PID. I have a OB appointment on Thursday, so I’ll find out then. If I do have PID again we’ll be benched for an entire cycle.

[Radley]

Also sorry I have been MIA, we bought a house and have been moving/unpacking.

[sarahh]

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Timing:n/a

CD/DPO: CD2

Symptoms: The usual. This period is pretty heavy which is fun.

RRCS: I thought our timing was pretty good last month so I think we will plan on doing the same thing this month. We were out of town right before I had a positive opk so I think that was O day but I'm not positive. I am going to be better about pinpointing it this month.

[sharebear]

Radley FX for no PID and no benching. Congrats on the house!

Month/Cycle: A year+, 2 cycles post CP

Timing: N/A

CD/DPO: 2/N/a

Symptoms: a wicked period, feeling like I have a giant cyst on my right ovary

RRCS: So we are jumping right into another Clomid cycle. My RE also wants to repeat the day 3 labs tomorrow because it has been over a year since the last time I had them done. I'm not really expecting anything to change, but this will be one more data point for us I guess? Just annoying.

[lastnamewithheld]

congrats on the new house, Radley !
FX this month for the CD2 cycle twins! sarahh and sharebear !

AFM, nothing at all is happening. I haven't even been temping. I just opened FF and i'm on CD14. Really should start trying to sex with the husband, but neither of us are feeling it. This is how it's been for the last couple months, so meh, whatever. It is what it is.

I've been so goddamned tired lately, so I decided to take off on Friday. DS will go to school (ETA: daycare) and I will have a glorious day of doing whatever the heck I want. I am suuuuper looking forward to it.

Month/cycle: 7/8

Timing: N/a

CD: 3

Symptoms: N/a

RRCS: Had my baseline ultrasound today. I still have a complex cyst on my left ovary that may be endo. So we are going to try one more round of Clomid and if that doesn't work Inman be having surgery to remove the cyst. So kind of mixed news but I'm just glad I'm not benched this cycle!

[sunny75]

Ugh Radley, I hope you don't have PID!

[lastnamewithheld]

sunny75, I'm dumb when it comes to cysts. Can they go away on their own? (I think I've heard of cysts kind of popping and being painful, or am I making that up?) Or is surgery the only option? I'm glad you're not benched this cycle, though!

[sharebear]

Newbie question: I'm moving up to 100mg of clomid from 50. This sounds stupid, but are the hot flashes and mood swings going to be doubly bad?

[radiantfate]

Month/Cycle: 19

Timing: none yet

CD/DPO: CD 8

Symptoms: none yet

RRCS: My doctor's appointment is next week. This one's just with my GP to get routine bloodwork/physical done. Once I have those results, I'll be scheduling with an OBGYN and see how far we can/what kind of answers we can get, since my insurance doesn't cover ART or infertility testing. FW is this weekend, I have my fingers crossed a little bit but it's hard to get hopes up at this point when we've been TTC the better part of two years.

[sunny75]

lastnamewithheld, Actually I was just coming back here to ask a question about cysts since I don't know much about them either! So I think follicular cysts came come and go on their own and sometimes they do burst but I don't think they are really much of an issue long term. I had one on my right ovary last cycle and it went away on it's own.

I guess I now have a complex cyst as well so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that? I'm really wanting to know if I will be able to ovulate still with that ovary and if anyone has had to have surgery to remove one?

[sunny75]

sharebear, I didn't have worse side effects when I increased my Clomid dosage last time so hopefully it won't be too bad for you either! I never really have any side effects though so maybe I'm not the best person to answer lol.

[pambee]

Radley fx it's not PID!



Month/Cycle: 7 or 8? 3 losses this year.

Timing: -5, -4, -1, 0

CD/DPO: 26/11

Symptoms: sore breasts for a few days, I tested Saturday and got a neg (expected that, I've never gotten a positive that early but couldn't help myself) and this morning I think I got a vvvvvvvvvv faint line but I don't believe it yet. I'm going to test again in the morning and on Wednesday (expected cd1) before I even start to consider it I think.

RRCS: I kind of hate that I'm being pessimistic about this but I feel so much more guarded this time than the other times. I need to see real darkening lines. But I'm still hopeful at the same time and I hope it's okay if I hang out here at least a few more days to freak out obsessively either way 😬

[sunny75]

pambee, yay! I hope you start seeing some nice dark lines in the next couple days!

[sharebear]

pambee I'll be optimistic for you for some super darkening lines! FX! Yay!

[sarahh]

pambee I've got everything crossed for you!

[Yogurt]

My AMH number was 5.723


Off to google if that's good or bad. I am 37, for reference.

[loorin]

Month/Cycle: 9/9 2 CPs this year

CD/DPO: 14/3

Timing: -2, -1

Symptoms: none, but I have a cold that’s kicking my butt and a fever in July is no fun.

RRCS: I met with an RE for a consult today, had an US and some bloodwork. I’m getting started with baby aspirin now and will start letrozole with TI next cycle. He’s also doing some additional testing like normal CD3 bloodwork, a hysteroscopy, and a post coital test. It’s a lot to take in and I was really expecting to be given the “you’re young, give it time” spiel.... but I’m happy to be doing some testing and something different at this point.

[pambee]

loorin, that is a lot but it sounds like a good thing that he's willing to look into everything for you! I've said before, and I think Yogurt too, I was happy to do any testing they suggested even if it did nothing but just rule everything out. (hugs) I'm sure it is overwhelming!

[Radley]

pambee so many hugs and good thoughts and wishes.

[Yogurt]

I saw an ultra sound on FB from a girl who had the same due date as my second cp and it made me so sad to see. The baby was so big. I still can't believe I had two cp's. 😭

[Yogurt]

Good luck pambee. ❤

[remi]

Month/Cycle: 8

Timing: -6, -4, -2, O and +4 (lol)

CD/DPO: CD20 DPO6

Symptoms: sore boobs, maybe cramps? Or maybe I just need to poop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

RRCS: I’m not holding my breath to be honest. I had a dip today below cover line so I’m thinking it’s not gonna happen.

[sunny75]

Hugs Yogurt. That's so hard to see. What did you find out about your AMH level?

[sunny75]

pambee, how is your line looking today?

Good luck remi,

I'm sorry. That really is a kick in the pants.

Good luck remi,

I'm going to try and spoiler it but I think I'll have to post then edit it real quick...

Eta- got it! Pee sticks below...

SPOILER: Click to show

Top is yesterday, the little mark above it shows where the vvvfl is. Today's is much better! I'm going to keep testing but I feel a little better this morning already...

Seems high. Above 4 is considered high, but I think PCOS range is way higher and I don't have any indicators of that regardless.

The girl from the RE office said normal.

[radiantfate]

YAY pambee! I see that beautiful line!!

Yogurt I'm glad the RE's office said the AMH is normal! And I'm sorry about the u/s pic you saw. That's so hard to see
