Re: TTC/3T Check-in

  • Good Luck, and fingers crossed for you always <3

    If you don't mind, and maybe you explained in previous post but I missed it?  What does international IVF mean exactly?  You have to travel to a different country?  What are the benefits?
  • @futuremrswright2012  I really hope all of these appointments give you the options and opportunities you need to find the right fit and plan for you moving forward.  Also, Hawaii is amazing.  Just saying. ;-)

    Where are you at in your TTC journey? 
    CD11 in month 8 of TTC2.0.  
    Started the PCOS diet 2 weeks ago and started Pregnitude (PCOS supplement) on Monday.  Last time I did the diet, my body regulated immediately.  So we're hoping for the best.  I'm just trying anything and everything because we'll likely not visit an RE to get pregnant. 
    Any testing coming up?
    Just OPK's for now.  Had some good CM today, so that's giving me hope.  
    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
    My dad is in the hospital right now because of his heart disease.  So it's been pretty emotional around here.  We've had too many deaths in the family over the past 2 years and I told him to quit his smoking BS because I can't handle another death right now. 
    QOTW: Vacation plans this Spring or Summer?
    Memorial day weekend we will head to Ohio to spend the weekend with our friends.  Then in August we'll do 8 days at the Lake. Sun, boat, skiing, and constantly in the water.  Yes please.  We love the lake!

  • @HoneyBee973 .. Like GABride already addressed, it seems the biggest benefit for international IVF is the cost (insanely cheaper). I'm just not sure about other countries' regulations, laws, etc. Either way, I'm open to at least hearing more. :) 

    @GABride2010 ... Fingers crossed that you got CH today! 

    @brij2006 .. Thanks for the positive vibes! I'm really hoping HI works out! We went to Kauai for my graduation and have been looking forward to making it back one day. 

    Sending positive thoughts and hugs your way about your dad. I hope he's able to see that the changes you are requesting of him are for his health and happiness and to be able to see his little grandbaby grow up! ❤️

    Yes, but I don't plan to be at that time.  We've gone strong for 8 months now, but it's starting to seriously slow down.  And, teeth.  OMG

  • Yay @ILoveRedVino! I hope to hear exciting updates in the coming year. *BR* I'm pretty certain we're one and done. Little guy is awesome and I'm ready to be off the 3T roller coaster forever. We're not sure enough to do anything permanent just yet but I'm seriously considering getting an IUD.

  • We will be beginning our difficult journey this September. Hoping for a 2018 baby and open to IVF and IUI options depending how difficult the doctors deem my case next year. 
  • Welcome, @dfulton808. Sorry you find yourself having to pursue IF treatments, but hopefully, you find this board helpful and supportive on your journey!
