Re: TTC/3T Check-in

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? CD68
    Any testing coming up? I'll probably test later this week to go ahead and start Provera. The waiting is driving me crazy.
    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) My ankle is ok. It's still really tender and achy, which makes me think it's my tendon. Our wine weekend was really good. :) 
    QOTW: In the spirit of Valentine's Day, tell us something special about your S.O.! <3<3Lately, I haven't been feeling pretty, but at least twice a day no matter what I'm wearing or how I look, DH tells me I'm pretty and he means it. <3
    Anniversary

    BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
  • Let's see if this thing lets me post! Hi y'all! I go here now!!

    Where are you at in your TTC journey?
    Nearing the end...

    Any testing coming up? I start lupron on the 27th; baseline on March 14th!

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I'm so glad to see this trying to be revived!

    QOTW: In the spirit of Valentine's Day, tell us something special about your S.O.! <3<3
    He's proven himself to be quite the handyman since buying our first house in October.. so that's pretty sweet, lol.
  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? Had 1 of 3 appointments last week (to get third opinions and to discuss donor egg cycles). Otherwise, NNT. 

    Any testing coming up? I have testing ordered from doc last week to recheck thyroid function and glucose/insulin ratio. Since I'm pretty confident that we won't be moving forward without using my eggs, I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to have these drawn. 

    Unrelated to 3T, for my weird chest pain last week (and the discovery that I may have a renal aneurysm) I am working on getting a CT scan scheduled. Fortunately, my chest pain has resolved at least. 

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) H and I have started really discussing this donor egg plan. Seems like we have a lot to decide on, particularly regarding who knows about us using donor eggs and if/when to ever tell our children. I am definitely in the camp that they should know (when appropriate, of course) because I don't want to treat this like we're trying to hide something. He disagrees. We've also decided that I've been a little too open IRL about our fertility issues which he feels is not everyone's business. I can totally see where he's coming from and have agreed to try to keep more of that to ourselves (and GP). :)

    QOTW: In the spirit of Valentine's Day, tell us something special about your S.O.! <3<3One thing that I love about my H (even though sometimes it does drive me CrAzY!) is that when we're together, he wants my full attention the entire time. This includes if we're sitting around watching TV; we both have to be paying attention because he wants to discuss everything! I tend to zone out with the 30th baseball or basketball game of the season, but I really try to take advantage of the fact that my attention and time is so valuable to him. :X


    lfk2013 - Glad your wine-filled weekend seemed to help your ankle. ;) Sorry about the wonky cycle and need for Provera! Very sweet about YH, especially when you know they mean it!

    @callitcompulsive - Welcome back! Remind me, are you TTC #1? Are you doing a fresh IVF cycle or FET? Sending positive vibes your way!

  • @lfk2013 Sorry about needing Provera for this cycle. :-(
    @callitcompulsive Welcome back!!!!  FX this is it.
    @futuremrswright2012  Hope these other opinions are giving you some good options for moving forward.

    Where are you at in your TTC journey? Month 8 of TTC2.0.  CD54 Blah.

    Any testing coming up?  Will test again on Friday since I have no clue what's going on with my cycle.  

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)  Cheapies decided to play tricks on me a couple weeks ago.  I tested the morning before leaving for our trip, and had a shadow of a line.  Dipped another cheapie and it did the same.  So I dipped a FRER.  Stark white negative. Tested again a few days later while we were on vacation....nothing.
    The negatives are starting to wear on H, so he no longer wants me to tell him when I'm testing.

    His mind is a sponge. You tell him something once and he remembers it.  He remembers random little facts from things, and kicks some butt at trivia.

  • @futuremrswright2012 yup, still ttc #1. lol. We're planning on a fresh 3DT (that's just how they do it at my place.) and then freeze anything that's left and decent enough to freeze on day 5. I'm just anxious to get this show on the road and finally have a chance at getting knocked up. ACK. FINALLY.

    I'm rooting for you all! @brij2006 @lfk2013 ::busts out pom-poms::
  • @brij2006 - Dumb cheapies.. Sorry lady! :(
