Hellobee Boards

I'll join I think. First time!!

Cycle Day: 41
TTC Cycle #: 5 (trying since September)
POAS date: maybe around June 4th
Baby #: 2
Your situation: I had a mc before having my DD who is now 2. We've been trying since September, got pregnant in March but miscarried at 5ish weeks. Haven't had AF yet but we decided to try anyway since the mc was early and "simple". No diagnosed issues but I have wacky long and unpredictable cycles. 30-58 days can be "normal"
What's happening this month: not sure. Pretty sure we missed our window because I was traveling for work :(. Plus I'm about 6 weeks out from a mc so I don't hold out much hope of getting pregnant this cycle anyway.
Chart link: not much to see, not temping this cycle.

@sslm: Sorry about the MC. The time waiting after mine was the worst. I finally started temping again thinking I could regain some control in knowing where my body was, and my temps were all sorts of wacky. And then AF came, I don't even think I O'd. I hope you are feeling better and you didn't miss O.
@ms.line: Thank you for starting this thread. It was getting a bit hard for me to roll call on the monthly boards. FX to you this cycle. Also, what is TI?

Cycle Day: 10
TTC Cycle #:13
POAS date: 6/8
Baby #:1
Your situation: Going in tomorrow for an HSG and the following week for a pelvic ultrasound. Regret not doing this sooner. I think I was in denial that I may have an issue. DH also going for an SA if everything checks out with me. A few months ago I had a 3 cycle day blood work to check my FSH and LH levels and that turned out normal. I'm also hypothyroid. I found out in FEBRUARY.
What's happening this month: im sticking to my OPK's. They're expensive but with everything else going on, I need to continue using them. Also trying to stay stress free. I'm going to ARUBA on 6/1 and will be there until 6/9 so I'm excited about that. I may POAS while there. We'll see. This will be a good distraction for me.

And just for fun… Have any fun summer vacation plans? Yes, ARUBA on 6/1

Lots of baby dust to us all ladies. This is a tough journey but we will all get our BFP one day! Here's to hoping June is a great month. I have so much Faith!

@sslm: so sorry to hear about your MC. This is a rough thing for anyone to go through. Lots of luck to you.

@auggiefrog: im sorry to hear about your MC. I decided to get help on my 13th month ttc. I was trying not to go that route but sometimes we need a little help. Hang in there. Lots of luck

@ms.line: Yes, seeing all the BFP's from girls on there first few cycles can make me more sad for our situation. It can also be harder to find other's that relate to what you are going through. I was planning on taking my usual TTC cocktail of supplements this month, and then I just couldn't. I am so sick of taking a dozen or so pills because this or that might be wrong with me, or because it boasts fertility.

@LoveHope: Your vacation sounds like fun! And a great way to relax and help keep your mind off of everything. I feel behind starting testing this late, but I wanted to give it a few cycles after my MC. And since I did get pregnant, I should be able to again, I hope!

Cycle Day: 2
TTC Cycle #: 16
POAS date: June 15
Baby #: 1
Your situation: (totally optional!): unexplained infertility - dh had 2% morphology at one point, but it's now up to 5%. We had an iui last cycle but missed ovulation, so we are trying again this cycle!
What's happening this month: Femara + Ovidrel trigger, iui #2
Chart link: n/a

And just for fun… Have any fun summer vacation plans? Going to Austin and Galveston around the time I POAS, my mom lives in TX so it will be nice to have her support (and it will be really exciting if it's positive and I get to share it with her!)

For those if you who have had an HSG. Do they give you the results right away? I'm so anxious.

@auggiefrog: wow! That's a great price.

@LoveHope: yup they tell you right away. It's pretty quick, I cramped for about 5 seconds. Good luck

@auggiefrog: @LoveHope: I actually prefer Babi to Wondfo - they're $12 for 50 strips, and they give you a clear negative and clear positive. I found with the Wondfos I was always second guessing the line.

@LibbyLou: I certainly will thanks!

@ms.line: thanks for starting this up!

Cycle Day: 6
TTC Cycle #: 3 after loss
POAS date: June 10
Baby #: 2
Your situation: (totally optional!) I had a mc our first month trying back in 2013 and 3 months later got pregnant with our daughter. She's 22 months now. Last August while on vacation, we got pregnant. We weren't trying but it was very welcomed. Our kids would have been 20 months apart. We found out at 20w along that baby girl was missing a chromosome and had a rare syndrome. This is the worst thing I have ever gone through. We terminated the pregnancy for medical reasons. It has been a hard few months. We are back TTC now and I am totally scared of something bad happening again
What's happening this month: OPKs, temping, preseed... Whatever it takes. Oh and I just started BComplex vitamins after last month's 8 day LP. I took them before and I think they helped me get pregnant with DD.
Chart link:
Good luck ladies. We are all here for different reasons but united by the fact we are all hoping and praying for a healthy pregnancy in the near future.

Cycle Day: 14
TTC Cycle #: 22 (I lost count)
POAS date: 6/3
Baby #: 2
Your situation: (totally optional!) It took us a year to conceive DD and we are going on two years on this go around. We have unexplained infertility and actually finally had our first RE appointment this morning. She drew blood for AMH levels and did an ultrasound. Will be testing FSH and E2 (or something like that on day 3 of next cycle). For our next cycle, if needed, will be doing monitoring, clomid, trigger and iui. I had done 5 cycles previously of letrozole with no monitoring and TI, so the RE wanted to switch things up.
What's happening this month: Continuing to BD and try. I'm waiting for my OPK today or tomorrow and we leave for vacation on Saturday!
Chart link:

And just for fun… Have any fun summer vacation plans? We leave Saturday for San Diego for 7 days. We cannot wait and this is a much needed vacation after all the stress during this TTC process. Other than that, maybe some time up at the cabin on the lake in northern MN.

@auggiefrog: Our stories are very similar, down to the dates! Except I started TTC in June 2013. I am also sick of all the pills/supplements.

@ms.line: I'm with you on the headspinning! I avoid those threads because I am not in a good state to handle them. And it is hard to see so many people that don't struggle- what makes us "special"?

@LoveHope: Good luck with the HSG! Mine was momentarily painful, but overall, not bad.

@LibbyLou: I am also on my first cycle of clomid. FX for you! And I San Diego.

@MrsKRB: I agree with you about the Babis- they are the only kind I use now.

@YogiRunner: What is Kale supposed to do?

@delight: I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Lots of hugs.

Cycle Day: 26, 9/10 DPO

TTC Cycle #: Ugh, who knows. Started NTNP in Jan 2013, Actively TTC since June 2013.

POAS date: 5/24

Baby #: 1

Your situation: Currently unexplained. DH's SA is normal, I had a HSG where they found a small polyp and removed it (but OBGYN says that it shouldn't have impacted TTC). Trying whatever we can to see if anything works.

What's happening this month: Tried clomid for the first time. I don't feel any different during this TWW than any other, so we will see what happens.

Chart link:Not charting this month.

Cycle Day: 4
TTC Cycle #: 15
POAS date: Around 6/17
Baby #: 1
Your situation: Unexplained, ATM. No BFP's in 15 cycles.
What's happening this month: Have an appt to see my GP Thursday to get a referral to the fertility clinic and possibly preliminary testing for both DH and I.

Have any fun summer vacation plans?: Hoping to take a couple weeks off for a road trip end of July.
Good luck, all!!

@delight: I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine how painful it would be to be TTC again. FX for the best.
@NorthStar: Sounds like an amazing vacation!
@Crystal: I'm so sorry that you have had to try so long. I can't imagine where I will be, and how I will feel about TTC in a year.
@AmeliaBedilia: Sounds like a busy summer with the house plans! GL!
