While I wished you'd have received your Christmas present, I am also VERY excited for you to start IVF. Join us on the IVF board when ready! I'll join the 2020 POAS board as a cheerleader. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/36#post-2907454 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 09:21:34 +0000 paranundrum 2907454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemonfrombluebell: Great to have you with us! I'll start a new board! I'll be off the grid this weekend, but will be back to update it on Monday.</p> <p>And thank you, it hasn't been the best of years, 2020 will probably be at least a bit better...one can hope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/36#post-2907452 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 09:07:27 +0000 lemonfrombluebell 2907452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@paranundrum: hi hi! I’m new(ish) (long time lurker) and I’ve been waiting for the 2020 board to join in! </p> <p>I’m sorry about your crappy December. I hope 2020 is your year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/36#post-2907448 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 05:46:15 +0000 paranundrum 2907448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season.</p> <p>@Marfi: Wonderful! Congratulations!<br /> @chypmunk: Congratulations, I'm so happy for you! </p> <p>I'm sorry I have been absent, in addition to the usual holiday hustle we had a death in the family and I didn't feel like being online much. Christmas magic didn't happen for us regarding TTC and I'll start my first round of IVF next week, I just made the appointment. Hoping for some January magic instead.</p> <p>Also a question - how many of us are still here TTC? Shall I start a new 2020 board for the few of us left and maybe someone new will join in? The second half on 2019 really worked wonders wiping this board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/36#post-2907432 Thu, 02 Jan 2020 17:04:44 +0000 raspberries 2907432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chypmunk: Looking good!!! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/36#post-2907387 Wed, 01 Jan 2020 22:47:14 +0000 chypmunk 2907387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: @moonmoon: @yellowbeach: thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/36#post-2907386 Wed, 01 Jan 2020 22:46:10 +0000 chypmunk 2907386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsJBeeG: thank you!!!

We did 3 IUIs (all failed). The count when he had his first appointment with the Urologist was 5 million something. The first IUI count was 12.6, I don't have record of what it was the second IUI and then the third and final IUI the post wash count was .6 million. We moved on to IVF after that and had our son from our first FET. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907175 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 15:18:59 +0000 yellowbeach 2907175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chypmunk: how many days post O? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907172 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 14:49:04 +0000 chypmunk 2907172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Negative.... I guess this isn’t my year.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907082 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 16:36:27 +0000 MoonMoon 2907082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skiierchck99: good to know, thank you for your perspective! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907076 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 14:25:26 +0000 skiierchck99 2907076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: I can’t remember what Husbands counts were (could maybe look them up if you were interested) but he was low in count, morphology, and motility, as I recall, though at this point the original test was like January 2015. But because I was normal and the numbers were not zero our RE was never really concerned because they weren’t zero. Also, if you do end up doing assisted cycles with ends, your natural cycle length won’t matter at all - I was worried about that since I’m so long but it all ends up being controlled. And, if you do go that route, I’d limit IUI attempts to 3-4 if you can afford it/have coverage. A nurse told me that, I didn’t listen, but should have! Wishing you luck and success in the new year - I know how hard the waiting and trying can be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907074 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:54:37 +0000 MoonMoon 2907074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skiierchck99: so happy to hear that! Congratulations on your babies! </p> <p>Yes I did all the bloodwork and the HSG in the last few months. I seem to be within normal ranges (though I seem to have late ovulation and subsequent short lutenizing phase, but my Dr hasn't seemed concerned about it so who knows). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907073 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:48:00 +0000 skiierchck99 2907073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: yes! DD1 is almost 2 and I’m 17 weeks with #2. We did IVF with ICSI. Your OB or RE should also recommend bloodwork for you and a test to check your tubes. They’re based on the day of your cycle (day 3 and day 7-12 maybe?) so even once you’d encode to do that testing it can take time before you can do it. Of course, I have 45 day cycles these days so it was a heck of a wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907067 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:03:39 +0000 MoonMoon 2907067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skiierchck99: that is interesting! I wish my OB would give us some interpretation/counseling instead of just a referral. Like, are we still candidates for IUI? Is IVF our only chance? I would love some real counseling and I hope the urologist and fertility Drs can give us that.</p> <p>Did you guys end up with success with IVF? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907066 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:01:17 +0000 skiierchck99 2907066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: interesting. DH also came back abnormal but they never referred him anywhere. I won’t second guess it now but it seems odd! Maybe he just had too many “off” dimensions haha. We did some iui rounds but they would have let us move to ivf much quicker than we did. I would at least get into the first appointment while you wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907063 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 12:40:46 +0000 MoonMoon 2907063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skiierchck99: he did have a semen analysis which came back abnormal, which is why we were referred to the urologist. I can't stand the waiting game! I wish they had a fast track for older patients :wink: Like you said, I think I'm going to get the ball rolling with the fertility specialist while we wait for the urology consult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907059 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 12:23:27 +0000 skiierchck99 2907059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: don’t wait, IMO. It takes a while for everything to get moving anyway. If they want to wait till after, they will tell you, but you can at least have an initial visit. Curious, is dh going for semen analysis? My dh never went to a urologist - I think my OB ordered the semen analysis and he just stopped at the lab to give a sample. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907058 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 11:38:26 +0000 MoonMoon 2907058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all, I think I'm out again. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I am so sad. Silver lining is this cycle at least made it to 28 days. </p> <p>We got an appointment with the urologist for DH for Feb 6. I hate how far away that is. My 41st birthday is in March. I'm wondering about reaching out to the fertility practice in the meanwhile, or is it better to do one thing at a time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2019-september-to-december-edition/page/35#post-2907048 Thu, 26 Dec 2019 23:24:04 +0000 chypmunk 2907048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Marfi: great news!! Yay for a sticky bean!! </p>
