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: Has being 3T been a surprise to you or did you have a feeling that you might have trouble TTC prior to starting?

Re: 3T check in
No update. It's looking doubtful that we'll get to move forward with treatment before Christmas, so that sucks.
QOTW: I always had a feeling I'd have issues. I have been very irregular my entire life so it was no shock. Of course, I naively thought maybe, just maybe I'd get lucky, but deep down I knew.

Mine was a surprise to me. I have an enormous family with no history of IF.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
QOTW: Total surprise for me. I've always had regular cycles and have always been healthy and active. It did take my mom a year to get pg with both me and my sister though.

I'm waiting to hear back from the RE. I don't know if I need a new referral or not.
QOTW: I didn't think that getting pregnant would be easy for me, but I did hope that after #1 my body would fix itself, but it seems to be worse now.

WE HAVE SPERM!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting to post this and we didn't do one last week :P
50,000 sperm have been set up in a freezer just outside of Boston and it sounds stupid but I already love them so much....especially since I thought we didn't have them at all!!!
Full steam ahead on the diet front. Talked to RE....from what I know....if I can get the BMI down to 40 we can talk...lower than that is best, aiming for the full 35 but when I bring the 40 BMI to her I know she will be excited. Rocking the southbeach diet so far too so I'm optimistic?
DH saw RE's Urologist and is going on Clomid.....interesting development they think it might help us freeze more sperm just incase.
So now we wait....and I bust ass to get this weight off.....ahh!
QOTW: DH got diagnosed with Kleinfelters during our second year of dating? and we have been together for 9 so I have always known that this was our path just didn't know the damage I was doing to the path on my end by being out of control with the weight
Getting fit for IVF!
You can rock this weight loss. It definitely helped me to keep the eye on the prize...I could do anything if it meant I was one step closer to getting a baby. You've got this!

@Xan - I know I said this in the other thread, but you and your DH are in my thoughts.
Update: No real update. Just a lot of days of getting a rolling wave of depression about how much I want a baby. This has been worse since our kitty passed.
QOTW: I didn't have any real reason to think so, but I was pessimistic about my chances.
