If you have any changes to this list, wish to be removed, added, or have graduated (yay!), please shoot me a PM. 

FYI: We don't want to exclude people, but this is a check in for ladies who are unfortunately having trouble trying to conceive (TTTC = 3T). If you've been trying for more than a year and/or have been diagnosed with any form of infertility OR are now pursuing adoption OR have decided to remain childless following a 3T journey, you are welcome to join us. 

 Updates: Ok ladies... where are we at this week? Testing, Procedures, Appointments, Adoption updates, Life updates? What's going on, etc. Let's here all about it!!

 QOTW: I think we're all freezing this week... what's the temp where you are?

Update: still plugging along. Just got the call that my 6dpo progesterone draw was only a 7, so I will start Prometrium tonight (yuck). I am not sure what is "normal", but hearing that it's low makes me nervous.

QOTW: Weather channel tells me it's 30 outside right now, but feels like 22. I know that's not cold to a lot of you, but for this Texan, it's cold!

 

islandmonkey8

@rockabye - Progesterone supplements suck! I hope they give you a nice sticky baby because your chart looks spot on!

It's too friggin' cold. I dislike anything below 60. Anything below 45 I hate. Right now, I loathe the "real feel" 6.

Update: The video specialist fixed our video and added photographs of us with our nephews and removed some of the infertility piece. I approved it this afternoon. We heard from our adoption specialist that having our profile shown 9 times was a good start and that the average per month is 10-15, so we're right in the area of where we need to be. She thinks the video will definitely make a difference. I emailed her some questions about buying some basics (crib, carseat, rocker) to see if that was appropriate at this stage (the crib we like is going to take 6-8 weeks!). I explained that at this point I want to have some basics that are for our baby that aren't tied to any potential matches, if that makes sense.

QOTW: It's 14 here. This morning was -2 with a "real feel" of -22. We had a delay (like the rest of New England) so the kids weren't waiting in that for the buses. 

islandmonkey8

So happy your video is ready to go @poppies717‌! I hope get the go ahead from the specialist to start getting some things! What crib do you like?

BruinsBabe33

Yay poppies, I'm glad you got the video fixed! ❤️❤️

RAB im crossing everything for you I love you!

Me: Alan is no longer employed, so we may be waiting until he finds employment to resume (or let's be honest start to pursue treatment) although, we will still be trying naturally if my body decides to be like, "hey, I want to do my job finally!" Im doubtful, but stranger things have happened!

BruinsBabe33

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the temperature here is officially at "hell has frozen over"

FutureMrsWright2012

@RockABye - So hopeful for you! Your chart looks great, and it's a good thing that they caught your low progesterone now! GL with the yucky supplement!

@Poppies717 - Hooray for an updated and approved video! And, I'm with Island... let's see that crib!

@BruinsBabe33 - Sorry about Alan's job. Hope he's able to find something good soon, and that your body decides to spring into action without extra help!

Update: Nada... Still moving along with meds/supplements and waiting for next AMH lab draw in the next couple of weeks. Hope this stuff is doing something!

QOTW: 34 right now where I'm working... I get to go home tomorrow though, yay! There, it's 55 right now (mid-70's tomorrow). 

Flamingo86

*LR*

We got the results from the d&c. Baby Flamingo had trisomy. The nurse seemed hesitant to answer many questions but I should know more in a couple weeks when we follow up with the RE.

I talked to my pastor and his wife about our 3T stuff after church on Sunday and they were very kind and compassionate. I gave him permission to share with the church staff. Today a lady from the staff called and talked to me about her own journey with multiple losses some 20-something years ago. It was incredibly kind and encouraging. Our previous church was very insensitive and judgmental toward us after our losses and I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful new church.

It's currently 39 here. FFC: when you said we are all freezing this week I at first thought you meant freezing embryos. Guess I have 3T on the brain.

ILoveRedVino

Love you all.

@Bruinsbabe33 - I hope Alan finds a job soon. Also, hoping for a surprise for you!

@futuremrswright2012 -  I hope the meds and supplements are doing their job!

@flamingo86 - Heartbroken is an understatement on how I feel for you. All loss sucks. Even having an answer as to why this time, trisomy is such a random thing, you have no control. My words aren't coming out right here. But, I'm very happy you have a good support system at your new church. If you need anything or want to talk or whatever, let me know. ((hugs))

I'm thinking about you all

Aimothy

to you all. 

RAB: (PR) My progesterone always fell in what I thought was a "low" category.  Even while taking the PIO shots. I think it was something like 20 at 5 weeks, and my RE was not concerned about it in the least. I hope the extra prometrium does its thing. Saying lots of sticky wishes for you in the next few days.

Thinking about each of you and sending love.

RockABye

Thank you ladies! And thanks, @Aimothy! That's really good to know

@Poppies717 - I'm so glad they reworked the video. I hope it's just what you need! Good luck!

@bruinsbabe33 - I'm sorry things have been delayed even more! It just sucks I hope your DH finds a fantastic job soon that makes the old one seem like crap and y'all can move forward with treatment ASAP! And in the meantime, I hope your body miraculously decides to do what it's supposed to! Love you, dah-ling<3

@flamingo86 - I'm so glad you were able to open up to the people at your church. I hope the woman you spoke with can continue to be an encouragement to you!
