Re: TTC/3T Check-in

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? 
    Month 11
    Any testing coming up?
    Tested last night at 14DPO, BFN.  Still no AF today either.  Not sure if I O'd on a different day, or if I'm just having a really long LP this cycle. 
    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
    H found out that his company is moving.  Thankfully it's only about 15 minutes from their current location, but that means it's also 15 minutes further from our house. His commute is already an hour long.  So we're back to thinking about putting the house on the market and moving closer to civilization (a city). We aren't in a hurry though, they won't be moved to the new location for 18 months anyways.

  • It's iloveredvino, in case that wasn't obvious.  :)  I can't remember my password for the life of me and had created a fake email address for my account.  So, I start over.  Fitting, I suppose... 

    Where are you at in your TTC journey?
     NNT, but will begin again this summer.  Prior to Baby, I never had a period (I have pretty severe PCOS).  The RE wants to wait until I've been finished nursing for 2 months, and if no period comes - and we don't think it will - I will start birth control pills in July to induce a bleed.  Then, on to meds for FET.  The FET will be in September if all goes as planned.

    Any testing coming up? I will have to do another saline sonogram thing, and new bloodwork.  Fun, fun.  Those will happen in July.

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Being back in the RE's office was really hard.  I don't think I realized how depressing that all was.  Maybe I didn't know any different at the time.  But being back, all of those feelings came back.  My chance of success is 61% (FET with a single embryo that has been genetically tested) which is lower than I thought.  I dread the shots, I dread the appointments, I dread the waiting and the disappointment and all of it.  It sucks.  I don't want it to ruin the joy that I'm feeling now, but I also feel like we have to.  And now is the time... the clock is ticking.

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? Not 100% sure right now. I've reached out to two of the RE's that we met with in March to get their opinions on the best way to move forward. 

    Any testing coming up? None planned currently. 

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Man, H getting his wisdom teeth out last week was rough! Thankfully, his pain is finally almost gone, but now he's obsessing about every particle of food that is getting stuck back there. I did end up getting the APN of the year award last week. :) Nothing else new for us. Just in a holding pattern now. 

    QOTW: Loving Fixer Upper and all of the Housewives (even though when a new season/locale comes out I always swear I'm not going to watch it, I get sucked in. Every. Single. Time.)

    I'm SOOOOO late for this.

    Where are you at in your TTC journey? Cycle #5, CD6
    Any testing coming up? I'll probably start up with the OPKs just in case later this week. I need to start tracking everything better.
    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I'm kind of nervous about this coming Friday. I am going to my OB/GYN for my annual check-up and will be asking for a referral. I'm nervous that she'll say she won't give me one. Is that a possibility? Am I overthinking this? I just want to move forward. I'm tired of being stuck in limbo.
    Other than everything regarding IF, I went to a Divorce Party yesterday. My second in 6-7 months. Hopefully, I don't have to go to another one any time soon (although I had an amazing time drinking all the wine).
    QOTW: What is your reality TV guilty pleasure? Hmmmm....probably Chopped. I'm not a huge reality TV fan, but that's the one I watch every time it's on.
    Anniversary

    BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
  • @lfk2013 I wouldn't think they'd flat out reject the idea of the referral, but there may be testing or some procedures they can do there. I remember being frustrated because my OB wanted to do my HSG and bloodwork and I was anxious to move to the specialty, but it turned out that way the procedures were coded meant that insurance covered it with my OB, and nothing was covered with the RE. Just something to think about. Good luck though! I'll be thinking of you. :)
