State of the Ute: 4/30 Edition

1. Where are you in your TTC journey? (TTC#, CD, DPO, etc).





2. Any upcoming tests?





3. Do you love your home or is moving somewhere new on the horizon?



4. Questions? Randoms?

1. TTC #2, Cycle 3, 4 dpo

2. I won't test until 12 dpo, but i generally start spotting before then which tells me I'm out again. If spotting starts around 9 dpo, I won't waste the test.

3. I love everything about my house except for the split foyer, lack of fireplace, and the horrible neighbors. For those three reasons we will probably move in the next 3-5 years. But, we have an awesome backyard with a view of a giant field (no neighbors behind us) and I will miss that a ton.

4. Got my pcos blood work back and I definitely don't have pcos. I actually have really low androgens (testosterone/dhea-s) so I have an appointment to discuss that and schedule my hsg in two weeks. I also want to request progesterone testing since I spot so much leading up to my period.

Also, I finally started temping and I love all the data! Don't know why I waited so long to start!

Where are you in your TTC journey? (TTC#, CD, DPO, etc). TTC#2, cycle 2 after 2nd loss, CD 3

2. Any upcoming tests? Not yet. OPKs in a week or so.

3. Do you love your home or is moving somewhere new on the horizon? We’re renting our house. We like it overall. We don’t plan to leave until we buy.

4. Questions? Randoms? One more week until I see my OB to get my PCOS results and my progesterone suppositories. I’m hoping he’ll clear us to try this cycle. I’m feeling both anxious and terrified. I want to get going but I cannot lose another one. My AMH levels came back totally normal so at least we have that going in our favour.

1. Where are you in your TTC journey? (TTC#, CD, DPO, etc).
TTC1, CD45, cycle lost count (years though)

2. Any upcoming tests?
I went this morning for my pre-op testing since I'm having a laprascopy and hysteroscopy next week. After the surgery is done we can do our final FET2

3. Do you love your home or is moving somewhere new on the horizon?
I like it but I don't like where it is. We're in a prime area but DH and I both have plans to relocate back to WI (from VA) where we're originally from. We agreed that we wouldn't do anything until I'm pregnant

4. Questions? Randoms?
I have my protocol for my FET2 and they have me on a full immune protocol which is so many meds - it's actually worse than it was for stims.

TTC#2 since July 2017, CD29 (average 36 day cycle)
I really don't think it's worth testing this month so probably not
We just had our 10 year anniversary of being in our first home...starting to think it may be time to move

Well....uh, I am super nervous, borderline paralyzing fear because of our loss to a fatal anomaly... because I got a BFP on Easter. I’m 5 weeks and 5 days. It’s been a mess trying to get RE and MFM and cardio (I have a heart defect) scheduled, but we at least have our first visits with each scheduled now. Took over a week. I’ve been lurking on GP board but not really ready to start posting there. I don’t want to jinx anything.

Guys, I am so anxious. I have high anxiety anyway, but I was doing well and stopped my anxiety meds. But I had to restart them. We are trying to Keep a tight lid on the news until we know things are ok. We found out about the baby’s anomaly at 7 weeks and got a final diagnosis at 10 weeks. So I am not sure if we’ll feel comfortable telling people after the first trimester or might try to hold out until 20 weeks. DH already called my mom (she’s and L&D nurse) because he is so nervous and wanted her medical opinion.

But a few mentioned progesterone. For me, it took 1 cycle of progesterone! They want me to stay on it until 12 weeks, I think.

achi, thanks! And I am not super active on the board, but I’ve been following you and sending lots of good vibes and hugs. <3

That is so exciting! Congratulations!

Good luck with your appointment! Did they find out you had low progesterone? Great news about your AMH.

Thank you! I’m thankful about the AMH. At least that’s something working in my favour! My progesterone was tested at the request of my naturopathic doctor at 7 dpo the cycle we conceived loss #2 and was 37 at that time. So it was within an acceptable range, but could stand to be higher. My GP wouldn’t agree to monitor it once I got my BFP because (in her exact words) she “wouldn’t know what to do with the results if they weren’t normal.” Cue furious rage. I hold her partially accountable for the second loss and am trying to get in with H’s doctor who is less of an idiot. OB has already said I’ll be on suppositories post-O moving forward and until late into the first trimester whenever I do get pregnant again.
