Trying to conceive #1 Buddies!

[ritterknitter]

Hi everyone, things are going well here. Only three more weeks until we find out the sex!

I think I'm finally coming out of the exhaustion and into a second wind. I was astonished to have the energy to do the dishes on a weeknight this past week!

Bmeck, I have been thinking a lot about you the last few weeks.. My sister has been trying for another baby for about 5 years after having her first child (my nephew is 7 now). She went to the ER with severe abdominal pain and found out that she was pregnant and it was ectopic. They were able to rush her in for emergency surgery and save her tube before it erupted.

She is doing really well. She says it is easier that she didn't know she was pregnant ahead of time, or else the loss would have hit her very hard, especially since she has been trying so long. They are taking some time off to heal, but she and her husband are seeing this as a blessing that they know they are able to try again and hopefully be successful.

I'm just feeling a lot of emotions right now.. it would have been fantastic to be pregnant at the same time as my sister, and be able to have babies together. I suppose there is still many months time for that to happen. I am just so thankful she is safe and healthy. I'm also feeling a little guilty that I am having a healthy pregnancy when my sister has faced such adversity. I am glad she doesn't seem to feel anything towards me about it. I'm sure it's just a silly emotion that has no grounds in reality, but I can't help but feel it sometimes.

Just a quick check in to see how everyone is doing. It's been pretty quiet on here lately, I want to know what's going on in everyone's world!

We found out we are having a boy!! It's funny, but all through the pregnancy I could feel it. Like, I knew that there was no way it was a girl. Weird huh? We are so excited, the gender reveal party is tonight!

How is everyone doing with their bodily fluids and temps? (Hehe!)

 

[beemeck]

contrats ritter!! that's great. I always ask moms if they have intuition about the gender and they mostly say no so that's really cool that you felt that!

I'm just chugging along here. waiting for a miracle. I plan to start IVF in August.

 

[abennion]

That's great news Ritter!

Just finishing up all of my testing with the RE. I've got a Sonohysterogram booked for next Friday and then next cycle were doing my HSG and reviewing everything and then it's on to IVF. We're hoping for an August or September cycle.

 

[abennion]

Bee! I just saw your signature!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Oh, I'm so happy for you!

 

[beemeck]

Thanks Abe !! After 15 months I think it happened naturally due to a poorly planned iui. Although even if it was iui it was a cycle with zero meds ....so never give up. It can happen when you least expect it

 

[ritterknitter]

OH MY GOODNESS BEE!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm so excited for you! You've waited so long for this, and you've been so patient- you are going to have such a happy pregnancy.

I hope you'll tell us all about it- how are you feeling so far? Any morning sickness? Sore boobs? I didn't have any morning sickness, but my tatas KILLED!

I AM SO EXCITED I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF!!! YAYYYY!!!!!

HI everyone

I would love to join as my husband and I have been TTC for two cycles now. I have really enjoyed reading through the posts and seeing how much support there is. I am trying to remain calm each month during the TWW and it was so comforting to see how others struggle with it too.

My AF should arrive on Wednesday and usually I have PMS symptoms such as sensitive breasts, mild cramping and a new pimple. This time I have had absolutely nothing. My doctor put me on folic acid three weeks ago and I have been wondering if that could be affecting my PMS. Has anyone else experienced this?

How about a blast from the past Hey everyone! Ive missed you girls.. Hope youre all doing well.
Many congratulations on everyone ive missed who have growing bumps and BFP tests I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.
I really wish to join you one day. *fingers crossed*

We are still ttc.. I dont think you ever stop when you begin that journey so its probably a daft thing to say.
We are currently cycle - 18... hanging in there just about. Hubby thinks something might be wrong with him and im sat thinking its me! great combo hehe!

Cant wait to reconnect with you all and make new friends too you have all been great!

 

[abennion]

You aren't alone magic! Currently on cycle 15. We've finished all of our testing, nothing wrong with either of us. We're now waiting to be offered an IVF cycle from our clinic while I'm on BCP to regulate my cycles again (they were getting to be about 42 days in length!)

 

[MagicDance]

Aw abennion! How frustrating with nothing wrong, I imagine that must be a bit of a roller-coaster.
I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you and Ivf goes well. Realistically how long can the waiting be?

Me and Hubs have both lost weight ready to go back to our GP just after the 2Year mark for the beginning of tests and being referred.

 

[abennion]

We actually got the call this morning. We start IVF treatment this upcoming cycle!

 

[KBP]

That's awesome Abe. Looking forward to see how it goes for you, IVF will be our next step...

 

[MagicDance]

Lovely news.. keep us posted

 

[lesondemavie]

For some reason I decided to pop back in for a bit, and wow magic so good to hear from you! Hope the testing gives you some answers soon . I wonder how super is doing as well.

After my Mmc, I thought it can happen so it will happen and faster this time. I have scooo many friends who are pg within 3 months every time. I thought for sure the 6 cycles before was just bad luck, but here I am again 6 cycles after my miscarriage (12 overall) and still no baby. My progesterone came back low in May and my ob has me on progesterone after O now, but I've found so many studies that say 40% of women with low P have small follicles, which is treated with Clomid or Femara. I just want a monitored cycle to start to see if that's what I need, but I guess my ob can't do that so she is sending me along to an RE. I wonder how long it will take to get an appointment. Anyway, Looks like I am also heading on over to a specialist. Perhaps we can trade notes?

Abe - That's amazing news that you get to start IVF this month! Sending love and luck your way

 

[MagicDance]

Hey Leson! So lovely to read you you were in my thoughts.
Hows everything going? other than ttc (gosh sometimes I feel like im just living to t&c.)
I too wonder about Super we were always cycle twins but I hope shes had more success than me!

I intend to make more effort around here so would love the company again. I need the support and venting to be honest, most my friends like yours are catching with ease & I do find it difficult sometimes.

I cant imagine what youve been through but you are my hero. I hope you get to chat about your findings and go on to have the clomid especially if thats going to help.
My GP has stated she wont refer us until its been 2years so we have to wait impatiently for 5 months. Im sure it will come around quick but I definitely have the feeling that somethings wrong with my body.. time will tell.

Take care and look forward to catching up again soon. X

Hey all,

Just decided to pop in for a quick update. We have a green light to start stimming tomorrow. Nervous and excited at the same time. Went through all of the injections with the pharmacy, and the whole process is fairly daunting. Can't wait to get to ER!

 

[lesondemavie]

Magic - Sorry I took a bit to respond I've been staying away a bit more from the site lately. Everything life-wise except for ttc is amazing. We bought our perfect home back in the canyon on a little dirt road and we love it. I've been gardening and learning to bake with an all electric home. How are you doing otherwise? I can't believe they're making you wait 2 years! My appointment isn't until November though so guess we'll be going in at the same time.

That's amazing abe. Hope it all goes well!

 

[abennion]

Hey ladies, just a quick update for anyone interested:

Finished stimming on Friday last week, triggered on Saturday and went in for ER yesterday. We got the call regarding fertilisation numbers this morning and of the 14 they retrieved, 10 were mature and 9 ended up fertilising. Only 2-4 more days of waiting before the transfer! We'll be getting an update tomorrow on how our little embies are doing.

 

[lesondemavie]

How did the transfer go abe?

BFP for me this am at 11 DPO. Everything crossed that this is it for us. Another loss would be so heartbreaking.
