How Many of us...

tasjaanalee · #1 July 6th, 2009, 04:31 PM

are left?!

I know a lot of board members have either gotten pregnant, or decided to take a break...

Considering that, I'd love to know how many of us are still 'lurking,' if you will...

Mini roll-call y'all!

BeckyM · #2 July 7th, 2009, 03:17 AM

I'm here

and I've been wondering the same. I see views, but not many posts these days so I guess alot of us are just lurking.

So, who's all here? Where are you at currently? TTC/pg/NTNP/on hold?

For an update on where we are: DH & I are proceeding this cycle - IUI using donor sperm. My CD3 b/w & u/s were great, so we've ordered the sperm and am just waiting for the follies to grow. I go in on Saturday, July 11th for monitoring and if they're ready we're trigger that evening and have 1st IUI Mon morning and 2nd one Tuesday morning. Yay!!! I'm thrilled to finally be back to trying again!!

Eek Becky!!! So exciting about the IUI!!!

I am waiting just a few more days, and then! I start Lupron the 12th, stop bcp the 15th (mine and DH's anniversary, neato), and I start stimming the 18th!!! It'll just be a matter of weeks until we know if this (first) cycle of IVF works!

I'm terrified, lol.

BeckyM · #4 July 7th, 2009, 09:44 AM

I'm terrified to, along with being excited!! I'm keeping all my crossables crossed that your 1st IVF gives you that wonderful BFP!!!

tasjaanalee · #5 July 7th, 2009, 10:38 AM

I'll cross everything for you too!!! If we cross for eachother instead of ourselves that's good karma, right? Lol!

Sidenote... I think we might be it lady...

~April04~ · #6 July 7th, 2009, 10:57 AM

I hope you don't me popping in - I've been stalking ya'll still

Becky - How exciting that ya'll are back to trying!! I'm really hoping that this IUI does the trick!! I can't wait for you to be pregnant! You're so close that we'll have to go shopping together!

Tas - OMG your IVF is coming up so quickly!! Time flies once you start stimming. We've got a pretty good record on this board of IVF's working the first time so I def. have my *fingers crossed* for you that this is all ya'll need!

tasjaanalee · #7 July 7th, 2009, 04:40 PM

Of course we don't mind April!

And I hope you're right... because it seems like its taken forever to cycle in, lol.

BeckyM · #8 July 7th, 2009, 04:54 PM

Of course we don't mind April! I've been stalking your progess on TTC#1 Grads. And a shopping trip would be wonderful!!!

And Tasjaana - that sounds like a wonderful plan, we'll cross everything for each other!!!

I guess we may be it for posting at this time. That's a shame. MFI is common, and I know I found it so comforting getting to know all you ladies' stories. Hopefully, the lurkers will eventually pop out of lurkdom with us.

BeckyM · #10 July 8th, 2009, 12:57 PM

Yay - good to see you still hanging around here Jessie! I hope to start out the BFP run for us, followed shortly by you two. How's that sound for a plan??

Clare · #11 July 8th, 2009, 01:33 PM

Im lurking here, Dh has a really low sperm count but I also have a mild case of PCOS. Dh is going for a 3rd SA tomorrow and the doctor seems to think if this one comes back as low then we will be heading for IVF with ICSI. I dont really know much else at the moment as we've only have 1 specialist appointment but hopefully things will get moving as soon as i've had my HSG in the next few weeks.

tasjaanalee · #12 July 8th, 2009, 03:20 PM

Jessie! Good to know you're still around too! And good luck on the IVF!

Becky- Yes, definitely start us off!!

Clare- My DH and I have a very similar situation. I have PCOS, and he has Maturation Arrest (low count of mature sperm). We're starting IVF the 12th, with ICSI, please feel free to ask me anything at all (I can't promise I'll have an answer, but I can try, lol)!

BeckyM · #13 July 9th, 2009, 03:32 AM

Good luck, Clare!!! Keep us posted on the results and what your next steps will be!

Jessie0505 · #14 July 9th, 2009, 12:41 PM

it does sound like a plan!!

thanks for the luck..God knows ill need it..i should be starting bc next cycle..im soo excited..i cant wait Becky..we are gonna start a long line of bfps!!

BeckyM · #15 July 10th, 2009, 05:03 AM

It is exciting!

With me, I'll know more tomorrow morning how the follies are growing and should hopefully know when to trigger & have the IUIs!!!

Jessie0505 · #16 July 10th, 2009, 12:54 PM

But hopefully there will be more bfps for me to follow!! Keep us posted becky!! i just know your gonna get that bfp!!

Hoosier Kitty · #17 July 11th, 2009, 06:41 PM

I'm still around... been on vacation and lurking on here....
Becky- good luck with IUI!!!!

nothing to update on me cuz we will not be able to do IVF til approx 2011 or so.

BeckyM · #18 July 12th, 2009, 04:21 AM

Hi, Aaron!

It's good to see you!

I thought I'd updated yesterday, but I don't see my post. I had my monitoring appointment yesterday, and everything was perfect. I triggered last night, and have 1 IUI this morning and the 2nd one tomorrow morning. Yay!!!

tasjaanalee · #19 July 12th, 2009, 05:34 AM

Aahhhhhh!!! Good luck today (& tomorrow) Becky!!!!!

BeckyM · #20 July 13th, 2009, 03:40 AM

Thank you!!! I had the 1st one done yesterday morning, and it was quick & painless. The doc said my cervix was opened perfectly, so there weren't any problems inserting the catheter. DH went with me for that one, and I'll be driving myself today so he doesn't have to take off work. (With just starting this job in March, we're trying to limit the amount of time taken off.) I was spotting some later in the day and had some cramps off & on, which I guess is normal. My 2nd IUI is at 10:00 today, and tomorrow I'll start the progesterone supplements. I believe the blood test will be on July 28th. This is exciting!!!
