30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[MrsG2010]

broody, good luck!!

mrsp - great names and great news on your blood test.

mk, thanks for info. Im always trying to figure out why doctors do certain things and other doctors dont.

 

[brassy]

Good luck Broody!!! Waiting to hear the news.

Cupcake I am sorry about the cancelled cycle. Such a waste of follies... Did you bd, eventually?

Aleja, good luck for tomorrow! Hope this is third time lucky for you!

MrsG, it is great that DH agreed for the two rounds of IUI. Hopefully you won't need them and I hope the same for MK! Girls I hope you are caught by surprise and don't need the treatments!!!
MrsP, I like Violet a lot!

Snowflakes, how are you feeling?

Last night we went out with some friends whom we knew since when we were living in the UK. Both couples have babies now, an eight-month old and the other is just a few weeks old. Guess what was the topic of discussion for most of the evening... I had to go since these were DH's close friends but it was hard for me. We even toasted to their children...We have an invitation for a christening for next week, but I already told DH I am not going to that. Last time I went to a christening I had a panic attack afterwards...

Hope everyone is well! There's so much going on...

 

[GettingBroody]

Thanks girls. Just home now. They put both back! Think they just put the smaller one back for the heck of it - it hasn't grown since yesterday - but u never know!

 

[brassy]

That's great news!!! Hope this is it! I am so glad for you! Take care and look after your little embies!

 

[mk8]

That's great broody. Stay hopeful and enjoy the two wks. Are you on progesterone during this time?

Brassy- sorry you had a tough evening with friends. You're doing the right thing by avoiding. Look after you.

I'm spotting today so the natural cycle was a bust. Not surprised. Ah well.

Good luck all!

Sending loads of hugs mk8

 

[cupcakesarah]

Good luck Broody, so exciting

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry mk

Broody I'm routing for you! Stick embies stick!!

Brassy I know how you feel, all my best friends were pregnant/had babies at the same time, the conversations were so hard, but at least they knew we were TTC but then they'd ask about how things were going with me & I felt like I was putting a dampener on things!

[aleja]

Broody GL that sounds like a perfect way to prepare for the ET.. Are you going to do both?? I think it's not a bad idea to be double PUPO if the 2nd emby is not going to be frozen anyway

MrsP I absolutely love the name Violet (one of my faves too) and Harry .. The choices are endless!!! What names from the 80s & 90s did your DH like? That made me giggle !

Mk were you getting good follicles with the clomid? Maybe they think Gonal F will produce better sized follicles or something ( well it should given it a Stim) . Regardless it sounds like a great plan...

 

[GettingBroody]

Aleja, yeah since the smaller one wasn't going to make the grade for freezing they decided to put both back in!

MrsP - deciding on names must be such a mine field! But so much fun also! And when you start looking at baby name books you get completely distracted by all the ridiculous names that are out there!! (or at least I certainly do! ) Love all of your names! Am also very intrigued by the 80s ones your dh liked?!!

 

[aleja]

Hi broody I must have missed the part where you had already mentioned the double emby transfer ..yippee you are double PUPO
Well I had my ET this morning too.. Another single blasty. The quality is not as good as the others so they defrosted it at the last minute and put it back in ... So now I wait!
Fx for both of us

Mk ...sigh about AF....

 

[mk8]

Hi ladies - thanks for your support.

Aleja and broody- exciting times. I hope the embies latch on and pop out to smile at you mamas in 9 months!

Are you both on any meds in the tww? Aleja- as it was a frozen cycle, did you need to take any meds pre et?

Hope everyone else is in good spirits. X

 

[GettingBroody]

Yay Aleja!! Congrats on being PUPO too!! Fx'd we'll be bump buddies in 2 weeks time!!

Mk8, yeah I was on 5 days on antibiotics and also something called medrone which helps stop your immune system from rejecting the embryo. I'm finishing with both of those today but I've another 2 weeks or so of progesterone pessaries left - so glamorous!

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey ladies! I've been meaning to check in! Been super busy!

Aleja - Hooray for ET!! FX for you!!

MK - Sorry for the stupid witch coming your way!! Booo!!

Good Luck Broody!! Glad they put both back in!!

MrsP - When we throw out name's just for fun my hubby likes the 80's and 90's name too. Like more traditional names and I like more modern names! Men, I tell you!!

Cupcake - I prolly would have still BD'd but I really really want twins. Triples kinda scare me.

Brassy - I hear ya about everyone having kids. I had to go to my co-workers baby shower last week. I did OK but still was heartbreaking. I started before her and am 5 years younger than her.

MrsG - So glad that you and you hubby decided to do 2 more IUI's. Best of luck!

Not much going on with me. 10DPO testing on Monday! No SX's.

 

[GettingBroody]

Good luck Snowflake!!

 

[aleja]

Broody I really hope you are right about being bump buddies! When is yourBT?

MK the only meds I took is clomid and now progesterone pessaries during 2ww. That's it ... I doesnt feel like it is covering all bases . I am a little envious of broody taking antibiotics etc as perhaps the reason my embys aren't sticking is because of immunity or blood clotting or whatever . This is the last time I am doing this natural FET.. I even warned my FS that I am coming to see him in October for a consultation to discuss other options . He said fine as it will be a chance to have a pregnancy scan??!!!!! I am glad he is all confident !!!

Hi snowflakes and other gals x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Eeee Aleja is also PUPO how exciting! GL to the both of you! Also GL to snowflake!

Hmmm so the names...can't remember all his inspirations but one name was Samantha. If anyone reading is called that - don't get me wrong I like the name, my cousin has that name - but I just don't think it is a name for the year 2012/13 IMO anyway! He said he really likes Sam, but not for a boy! There were others from the late 70's/80's/90's that he liked but can't remember right now, if any more crop up in discussion I'll let you know! x

 

[brassy]

Aleja, it's so exciting! Hope this is your lucky one!
So, Aleja, Snowflakes, Broody and MrsG are in the tww! Hope that we hear about your BFPs in a few days. It would be amazing...

MrsP name hunting sounds like a fun thing to do. Me and DH have chosen a name for a potential future baby girl, that would be Ada, from Ada Lovelace! We can't agree on the male one though...

AFM, Girls I feel so bloated. And I still have to go, at least another two weeks without AF. I will ask the dr tomorrow if I can skip some of the progesterone pills. I think I will explode in the end....

 

[mk8]

Hope you feel better soon brassy!

Mrsg and cupcake- I was surfing the net on unexplained fertility and came across coeliac disease (allergy to gluten) and some docs suggest it is linked to fertility. A lady who was TTC for ten yrs managed to finally hold her baby in her arms after following a gluten free diet for 6 months. She went through a surrogate but her eggs were healthier this time and she had tried a surrogate before.

For me, I am always bloated. I am def lactose intolerant. But glutens a question mark. I've cut out gluten for two weeks ( not super strict though) and helllllooooo flat tum! Well... Flat ish. I still eat rice and potatoes so I'm still carbed up. Worth a shot for you ladies perhaps?
