FYI: We don't want to exclude some ladies, 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 hear all about it!
QOTW: When you were a kid, did you typically look forward to or dread the first day of school? What was your favorite part? Least favorite part?

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
Re: 3T Check in!
Update - nothing really. FF gave me CHs which is seriously laughable because there is absolutely NO indication of O on my chart. It made me gigglesnort when I saw that. Hoping to move forward in the next 6 months, but really, we'll see.
QOTW: I both loved and hated it. I loved meeting the new kids (very small school and we got maybe 1-2 new kids a year). I hated not being 110% sure where I was going on the first day. I am a planner and like to know exactly where to go and where to sit in advance, even now to this day.

Great news, I've already hit my deductible for the year. Being in education, my deductible resets on July 1. BRING ON ALL THE PROCEDURES. EVERYTHING IS FREE.
QOTW: I loved going back to school. Mostly because I loved school. I was always nervous if I'd have friends, or who would want to sit with me at lunch. Once I got older, I'd get nervous that I'd be able to find the right classroom.

QOTW: I generally didn't look forward to it. Every year it was getting to know you games where you had to say something in front of the class, which I absolutely loathe. Aside from that, I was just generally always anxious on the first day.
08/13: Started TTC - 07/14: PCOS dx
BFP 09/18/15 - Baby S 05/27/16
Baseline today went fine, so continuing on lupron and start my first patch Sunday.
QOTD- I loved the first day of school- new supplies, new clothes and getting back into routines of school and sports.

@Aimothy Hope you get a good report and have nice thick lining!
@Flamingo86 Hope you are happy and content with whatever decision you make!
