Hellobee Boards

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
Since April 2012

What are your plans for this cycle?
Clomid, Ovidrel & my first IUI!

How is your attitude/outlook?
Sad for AF approaching (temp dropped this AM and I'm crampy) but excited to be more aggressive this cycle! I have a phone consult with the RE tomorrow about my plan, because I thought he was going to up my Clomid dose and the nurse said he didn't. Plus I have a few other questions about the process.

What have you struggled with most this week?
Being supportive for my newly pregnant BFF. We talk every day and it's hard hearing all about it every day.

What is your diagnosis?
Unexplained, but DH has borderline morph and I have a short LP and treated hypothyroid

What is your favorite television show?
Uggh so many! All time, probably Arrested Development or Lost. Still current, probably Breaking Bad

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
Since March '12

What are your plans for this cycle?
Taking a break to figure out what is going on. Waiting for AF/loss to happen, since it was prolonged by progesterone.

How is your attitude/outlook?
Not great, but have been feeling better since I got a definite answer on the pregnancy. The loss itself is awful, but the limbo of not knowing was the worst part.

What have you struggled with most this week?
Loss, and accepting the fact that we need to take a few months off.

What is your diagnosis?
MTHFR, Hashimoto's. ND will be testing for more autoimmune/clotting issues, since she thinks it could be the culprit. Basically my body could be "attacking" the embryo, lovely...

What is your favorite television show?
Summer TV sucks! I'm going to say Sex and the City, even though its not new anymore. I have great memories of weekly girls nights in college watching it.

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
Since January 2012

What are your plans for this cycle?
Still on a break. 1st IUI will be in September

How is your attitude/outlook?
Hopeful but impatient.

What have you struggled with most this week?
I honestly haven't thought about any of it all that much this week.

What is your diagnosis?
Mild PCOS and mild MFI (count).

What is your favorite television show?
Pretty Little Liars

@Shutterbug: On vacation? I wish I was!

@kentuckygirl: how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

@TheReelDeal: LOVE the beach! Where are you headed? I hope it's an AWESOME distraction with a great reward at the end

@alie: good for you for not dwelling this week!

@Shutterbug: I'm sorry about AF, but yay for IUI. Hopefully being aggressive pays off!

@Mrs.Someone: summer TV does suck, you're so right! We use it to catch up. You're so right, I found that the second was so much harder, not only because it happened again, but because we grieved the loss AND worried about the future. Sending you healing

@kentuckygirl: I'm so glad that you feel comfortable with the new doctor. Wishing you so much good luck moving forward!

@just_ju: I'm so glad that your HSG went well! Can I ask, what is E2? And I love Doctor Who!

@LovelyPlum: e2 is shorthand for estradiol :). The new Doctor had better be good ... I miss Matt Smith already . And I love Sherlock too - Benedict Cumberbatch is amazing!

@LovelyPlum: @just_ju: I love sci if and was thinking about starting to watch Dr.Who. Is it okay to start with the 2005 episodes?

@LovelyPlum: lol sorry I wasn't more specific. Estradiol indicates the maturity of the egg - the higher the E2, the closer to ovulation you are.

@raintreebee: we started with the 2005 Doctor Who - the classics are to find. Some of them don't even exist anymore.

@just_ju: no worries! I don't go to an RE, so I don't know a lot of the lingo. But from what you said, yay for high E2!

@FaithFertility: enjoy that cruise, and that time with your DH. So hopeful for you!

@LovelyPlum: so sorry to hear of your loss, prayers to you and your family!

Hey ladies, popping back in! Sorry to be MIA, been a little down the past few weeks and it was easier to stay away.

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?
NTNP spring 2012, TTC Oct. 12

What are your plans for this cycle?
I'm currently in the TWW, we used OPKs and just a lot of BDing.

How is your attitude/outlook?
I was positive until the doctor told me I had mono and tested positive for step, I thought we had great timing and frequency this cycle. My illnesses make me doubt a baby is going to want to settle into my virus ridden body lol.

What have you struggled with most this week?
Mostly my mono and strep, I've been out of work for almost three weeks and won't go back for another few weeks, feeling very frustrated I can't do simple tasks without getting tired.

What is your diagnosis?
Unknown, been referred to RE but waiting until we have better insurance or savings to cover our initial visit and testing. My GYN suspects blocked tubes from previous pelvic infections.

What is your favorite television show?
My go to show when I'm bored is Gilmore Girls, have them all on DVD, but I love Doctor Who too.

@MrsTal: Have you had am HSG done? Many insurance cover it since it is not just IF related, I know mine did, it could be something yup can do in the mean time, I'm sure an RE will def make yoi do one before they start anything

I'm here too but haven't been on the bee since this morning travelling for work and took my DH out for birthday dinner.

What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC? Since January 2012, cycle 18 should be coming to an end tomorrow because my temp bottomed out this morning
What are your plans for this cycle? Continue with the supplements and dietary changes recommended by my ND
How is your attitude/outlook? Sad about CD1 on its way but feeling good about the plan that we have with the ND
What have you struggled with most this week? Getting in my billable time at work, nothing fertility related really...
What is your diagnosis? Endo, mild MFI (ND says motility and RE says count)
What is your favorite television show? Scandal! The best show on TV, also Elementary and So You Think You Can Dance... but I agree with @Mrs.Someone: summer TV is no good!

@raintreebee: I've been keeping up with Bunheads I really enjoy it, love seeing the actors from GG pop in.

@FaithFertility: My GYN wouldn't do the HSG and anything billed to insurance from the RE will be denied (so I have been told). I'd like to get it done but my friend who goes to the same RE I was referred to said her HSG with insurance paying some was almost $1700. DH is looking to switch jobs so we are hoping his new company will have better insurance and offer some infertility coverage.

@Mrs. Jacks: I will be 38 in October. I know it's still possible but I have high FSH, so there are signs that my eggs are showing their age

@Shutterbug: I do love the bracelet! Thanks again & for the compliment on my ring
