I know this is the wrong week but I missed this thread and I wanted to participate!</p> <p>What is your first name or first initial?<br /> --T</p> <p>Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc?<br /> --We aren't TTC at the moment and next year, we'll start again... first with fertility treatments for 3 months than adoption next. </p> <p>If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next?<br /> --If the fertility treatments don't work, we are going with adoption. </p> <p>Do you already have names picked out for your future children?<br /> --Yup!</p> <p>How does your dh feel about infertility?<br /> --It freaking sucks! He does feel like he's the blame because of his chronic medical issue but I remind him that it could be me. I think it's a joint problem. </p> <p>Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals?<br /> --No. My dog is my baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95/page/2#post-1075863 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:47:55 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1075863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: So sorry about your chemical :( ::hugs::</p> <p>@LOVELYPLUM: Thanks for the update! Glad things are going well. </p> <p>@FAITHFERTILITY: Hoping for good news!</p> <p>Oh and also, I thought about it and I think I would probably stop "trying" at age 35. That gives us about 2 more years. This December will be 2 years of trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95/page/2#post-1075613 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 03:21:04 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1075613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies, I'm back from vacay! Like the new questions Mrs. P :) Here's my stuff, and I hope to catch up on what's been going on with you all the last 2 weeks...!</p> <p>What is your first name or first initial : Betty Ann, except not spelled like that :)</p> <p>Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc? Hmm, I guess a few years? It's more of a procedure limit I guess. </p> <p>If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next? Well I haven't started treatment yet, but I'm just waiting for AF to show, then I could be starting injections this week!</p> <p>Do you already have names picked out for your future children? Oh yes. Well a girls name for sure...boys names seem harder. </p> <p>How does your dh feel about infertility? He's frustrated too, and also jealous of other people sometimes. </p> <p>Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals? Not really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95/page/2#post-1074384 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:55:13 +0000 spaniellove 1074384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: Thanks, I'm feeling a bit better after some Unisom/B6 and am thinking about just sucking it up for the last dose since in a week I won't remember if I felt awful for an extra day but I will remember if I messed up the cycle. </p> <p>@msmug: Sending you tons of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95/page/2#post-1074070 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:54:33 +0000 msmug 1074070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm coming off of a failed FET cycle so I'm feeling pretty discouraged. Period showed up yesterday, so I'm ready and anxious to start another fresh cycle as soon as possible. Wish me luck!</p> <p>What is your first name or first initial (whatever you want to share): M<br /> Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc? Depends on insurance... Maybe another year. We've already been ttc for 3 years.<br /> If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next? I'm on CD2 of a Fresh IVF cycle. If this doesn't work out, hopefully we'll have some frozen embryos to proceed with a FET.<br /> Do you already have names picked out for your future children? Not really. We don't want to talk about it until/if it happens.<br /> How does your dh feel about infertility? He hates it as much as I do, but isn't as emotionally affected by all the bad news as I am.<br /> Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals? NO! I call them my pups though, even though they're 6 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073970 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:09:30 +0000 kentuckygirl 1073970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Hoping you get great news with doubling betas tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073965 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:08:27 +0000 kentuckygirl 1073965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: eager to hear about any POASing and betas on Wednesday!!! So hopeful for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073963 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:07:58 +0000 kentuckygirl 1073963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I am so sorry to hear about the high FSH and the resulting medicine/side effects. I hope you feel better after skipping the last dose. Perhaps the side effects are intensified with it being from a medication vs. natural hormones and you avoid hyperemesis when you are PG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073956 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:04:45 +0000 kentuckygirl 1073956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Copied from the IVF Thread:</p> <p>I have egg retrieval on Wednesday morning. At my appointment on Saturday the Dr. said we will be happy to get 5 eggs. With my age and FSH, 5 eggs would be reasonable, but I had just hoped somehow that we would get more. I am so nervous that they won't get enough eggs and that they won't fertilize. They may do a 2 day transfer . I have to let my worries go and just hope for good things. I would certainly appreciate prayers or good thoughts </p> <p>If they do a 2 day transfer I am leaning toward transferring 3 (if we have that many) but I don't know that DH is on board yet. Otherwise we will transfer two. </p> <p>Hope you all have a good week! I can't wait to hear about the beta results and ultrasounds this week!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073682 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 08:22:13 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1073682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Ugh, it just keeps piling up for you, huh? Are you doing anything different this next cycle, or any more investigation on the losses?</p> <p>@FaithFertility: Hoping you get good news! Beta hell is the worst...</p> <p>As for me, I thought AF would arrive yesterday, but maybe I was off on O by a few days since we were traveling at the time. I've felt nauseous off and on for a week, and had super sore boobs. Both are going away a bit, and HPTs were negative on Thursday and Sunday. I'm fine with it, I just would like a concrete answer so I know whats going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073649 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 08:09:51 +0000 spaniellove 1073649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: The worst is that because of the high FSH I have to take Estinyl (a form of estrogen) for several days to bring it down and keep my follicles suppressed a while longer, but it's giving me the worst migraine and nausea/vomiting. I had to call my clinic and tell them I'm not taking the last dose. It also made me realize I'll probably end up with hyperemesis like the other women in my family, which makes me not want to be pregnant EVER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1073179 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:01:07 +0000 LovelyPlum 1073179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: oh. I vote a random fluke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1072999 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 18:43:49 +0000 spaniellove 1072999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Having an FSH that high at my age means either it was just a random fluke after the m/c and coming off Estrace at the same time, or premature menopause is around the corner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1072929 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 17:37:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1072929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: k, I don't know what that is, but I don't want your ovaries on strike! Especially if you are feeling motivated! Which is awesome, by the way. Totally rooting for a spanielbaby!!</p> <p>And I mean that about your ovaries in the least creepy way possible :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1072850 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 16:25:54 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1072850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! The rest of the trip turned out to be good, we spent Friday at a beautiful beach, then had a yummy BBQ send off party on Saturday. And now we're home and exhausted :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1072065 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 19:26:33 +0000 MrsTal 1072065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: praying and crossing my fingers for you.

We are doing dinner on way :)))) Thank you and I will take your advice,our baby is BEYOND loved!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071823 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:30:22 +0000 spaniellove 1071823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Do whatever you have to do to stay calm and happy. Beta hell is tough! Tell your baby how much it is loved, meditate, go out to dinner with your DH, anything to keep your mind off things. FX it all works out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071810 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:24:39 +0000 FaithFertility 1071810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :/ I will try, hubby is very optimistic and wants me to take a HB break.....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071805 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:23:10 +0000 brownie 1071805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Beta hell. I went through that last cycle. For us it was unsuccessful but there are many stories with the opposite experience. Keep positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071801 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 15:20:57 +0000 FaithFertility 1071801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I got my betas and got the call that I was truly not expecting.......I was waiting to hear it was negative or it was positive and I got...<br /> Well its POSITIVE...BUT!!!!.....BUT??!?!?! my levels are very low only an 8 she explained anything over a 5 is PG sooo I am, but to be cautious, I go back Tuesday to make sure they go up!!!!!</p> <p>Ahhhhh.......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071674 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 13:33:51 +0000 spaniellove 1071674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: We thought we felt the same way, that we would never be able to make it through another loss. DH used to say that he was definitely finished with TTC if it happened again and it scared me, but now that we're past that point I think it actually motivated us to keep going. </p> <p>I had my CD3 appt today and my ovaries might be officially on strike, y'all. Like I know my FSH tends to be a little high right after a loss but...17! They're ready to pack up and move to the old age home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071345 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 06:37:29 +0000 MrsTal 1071345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had my RE appointment yesterday and wanted to wait until after to check in. It went well! The doctor was very nice and put us at ease. He wants me to do some day 3 blood work and an HSG. He doesn't believe my tubes are blocked from the pelvic infections I was diagnoised with several years ago. He thinks, like I have since those diagnosis, that the doctor could have been wrong or rushed, but the only way to know is the HSG. I think we are going to do it but we have to pay entirely out of pocket so we have to figure out if we want to do it now or in a couple months. So yay!</p> <p>What is your first name or first initial (whatever you want to share): A</p> <p>Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc? I don't want to go past 33, that's six years from now but I think finances are going to play a bigger part in determining how long.</p> <p>If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next? We are not doing treatment currently but my doctor has high hopes for the HSG helping things along.</p> <p>Do you already have names picked out for your future children? Yes, we have a list going.</p> <p>How does your dh feel about infertility? He is angry and frustrated. </p> <p>Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals? Yes. Mostly they are just my babies :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071175 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:26:48 +0000 mrswin 1071175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I'm sorry it was a difficult day for you today. I hope that the next year is better and you get your sticky BPF</p> <p>@Mrs. Polish: Love the new format! Thanks for keeping this going</p> <p>@Shutterbug: FX for your testing/beta next week</p> <p>@spaniellove: I'm sorry, I hope you are doing alright</p> <p>@kentuckygirl: Good luck with your IVF cycle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071166 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:21:17 +0000 mrswin 1071166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your first name or first initial (whatever you want to share): Nicole<br /> Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc? We haven't discussed a specific length of time but we won't re-evaluate for at least a year, I feel like we are making progress with the ND and need to be patient.<br /> If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next? Not doing ART right now, just working with the supplements and it changes recommended by the ND for both DH and I. We may eventually consider a round of IVF but this will come down to finances.<br /> Do you already have names picked out for your future children? No, I have a list of names that I like but I don't want to really discuss it until there is a baby to be named.<br /> How does your dh feel about infertility? It has mentioned more than once how unfair it is :sad: He never thought we would be in this situation, no one in either of our families has ever struggled with IF<br /> Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals? We don't have any pets so I don't use this term </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1071139 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:59:18 +0000 LovelyPlum 1071139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I'm sorry it was a rough day! I agree, reflecting back on tough years is always hard, and you've had one heck of a year. Hoping that this coming year brings you nothing but good things! Safe travels back home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1069101 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:42:45 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1069101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><b>What is your first name or first initial:</b><br /> A</p> <p><b>Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc?</b><br /> No, but I'm honestly not sure how much more I can take. I am confident that I can get pregnant again, but I think another loss might be the end of it for me. I hope I don't have to make that decision.</p> <p><b>If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next?</b><br /> More blood testing. IUI or IVF won't solve my issues.</p> <p><b>Do you already have names picked out for your future children?</b><br /> I have a list of names I like, just to keep them out of my head. But its not something we're willing to discuss until there is an actual baby.</p> <p><b>How does your dh feel about infertility?</b><br /> He doesn't say much, but has mentioned a few times that it makes him sad.</p> <p><b>Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals?</b><br /> No, our only animal doesn't have fur :) Plus, not a fan of the term.</p> <p>I've had a rough day! Today was Rosh Hashanah, which is a major time of reflection on the previous year, and the year to come. I had a hard time keeping my tears in at synagogue today. Definitely looking forward to coming home this weekend... Hope you are all well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-95#post-1069002 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:04:44 +0000 just_ju 1069002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your first name or first initial (whatever you want to share): J<br /> Do you have a time limit on how long you'll ttc? I don't think so ... I'm sure money will be a factor<br /> If things don't work out with your current treatment, what is next? I'm not really sure because I'll be starting with a new RE as soon as this cycle finally starts. Maybe IUI?<br /> Do you already have names picked out for your future children? Yep!<br /> How does your dh feel about infertility? For a long time, I didn't think it even phased him because he's not much of a worrier and wouldn't really give an answer when I asked how he was feeling aside from "it sucks." That changed after I had a major meltdown - he's more invested and is more open about what he's thinking/feeling through the process, which makes me feel like less of a basketcase.<br /> Do you use the term "furbabies" for your animals? Not usually. </p>
