I don't know where or how to do that honestly. I booked this through planned parenthood as they do things without referrals or insurance and on Monday had no problem doing it. Today they tell me no that they won't even check anything. I switch insurance plans on Monday so I might just wait until then. Ugh. I just want a clear answer. I hate being in limbo.

hi girls!!

loving all the betas - keep 'em coming!

squirrel - so sorry AF is arriving. Hoping you check in with us every now and then while your DH is on tour so we won't miss you too much!

texas - it's crazy how a few days difference in a cycle puts us way off now lol I'm just getting AF and you'll be finishing yours and getting ready to BD! really just thinking that good things are on the horizon for you since last cycle really went perfectly. I'm pretty sure they say only to worry about LP if it's 10 days or less...

drum - how did I forget you in my last post?! ahhh I'm awful how is this cycle going with the clomid? good luck on keeping the BDing going - can you believe that that is my hardest part about ttc? not temping, not opks....too much BD!

So I *guess* AF is starting today. Boy, is she being timid. But I would consider it a little more than spotting and my LP is 14 days anyway so we will just say it's a slow start. Prob because my temps ONLY dropped this morning. I'm not as devastated as I thought I would be. I usually don't test but I'm glad I did this month - seeing my chart looking so perfect then getting AF would have killed me. The BFNs were nice buffers. Also, I prob would have convinced myself that I had a chemical - which would have been heartbreaking AND medically inaccurate in recounting my story of not getting pregnant since losing the baby. I think the appt is helping me to not feel SO down. I keep telling myself - help is on the way. So let's hope it is....

Help is definitely on the way I'm so sorry to hear that AF has come for you, Bee. Sometimes the temp drop can be so sudden. I temped for about a year, and like you, there were several months that all temps were rising, then bam, dropped suddenly and AF showed that day or the next. Glad you had some buffers and didn't have your hopes up too, too high. Your appointment is next week, right? Just breathe, and realize that going forward, there will be a plan and the doctors will take charge. to you today. I'm here if you want to talk.

 

[CarlyP]

Can I join you all please? I really could do with some luck!

I'm about to start cycle #25 (started spotting today)

I went to see a gynecologist in Dec, he wanted to prescribe me clomid but because my bmi is too high he couldn't, so I need to lose about 3 stone to be in the weight range, which I can do as I lost 3.5 stone last year, I just managed to put it all back on! But we are still TTC so hoping I won't need it anyway.

 

[campn]

Gina- Just google private scans and you should find something. They don't need insurance or referrals just make an appointment online. I had one with my son at 15 weeks for about $80. Sorry you're in limbo! We're often in limbo with TTC or pregnancy really.

 

[gina236]

All I can find is either places in the UK (I'm in the US) or places that say you have to already be working with a provider. I'm gonna keep looking but have no idea what to do at this point..

 

[campn]

Gina- Maybe just go to the ER? They have to take you in and do whatever tests/scans they think are necessary. I went in when I was spotting red blood with DS and it took about 5 hours but it wasn't horrible. Maybe just wait until Monday until your insurance is covering you as long as no spotting, cramping or back pain present.

Also look into free clinics, although you might have to wait for an appointment too.

I know the waiting is really the hardest part cause your mind will play all kinds of tricks on you, but you can only control and do so much Gina Fx everything will be okay. We just have shy babies!

 

[squirrel.]

Wow, amazing hCG levels campn! Hope you get to see your little bean soon and the nausea doesn't take too much toll on you.

Gina: sorry to hear they cancelled your appointment I hope you manage to find somewhere soon to have a scan and get some reassurance. Have you tested recently?

Bee: sorry AF got you. She got me too today! I'm really glad to hear you're not feeling too down and that your appointment is keeping you optimistic. I hope it goes well and they can do a quick fix (if necessary) to get you on your way to your BFP!


So AF got me today (and with a vengeance! Ouch!). I am tucking my thermometer in a drawer hidden away, putting my OPKs somewhere away from the bathroom and saying goodbye to BnB for a while. I have to separate myself from this place (much as I love it and you ladies) because if I can't even try next cycle it'll kill me I will try to check on every now and then and can't wait to see some scan pictures and some new BFPs next month! Hope you all have a happy February and see you properly again in March :wave:

 

[Smille24]

We'll miss you squirrel .

 

[campn]

Squirrel- That picture is just beautiful and we'll miss you and we'll think of you and send you our best wishes everyday. This journey is hard and frustrating and you deserve a breather. Enjoy your beautiful kids and your new job! lots of love! Hope to see you here soon!

 

[blablamana]

WOW squirrel, what campn says; holy smokes that picture is gorgeous.

Lots of love for you and we'll see you when you are ready

 

[blablamana]

Oooo my temp shot up again and I bought OPKs today just to check and BAM immediately positive This doesn't necessarily mean that I'm ovulating of course, but I'm still happy that SO and I successfully BD'd every day since Sunday

And today is SO's 30th birthday and I was up till 3 am to blow up balloons and make cupcakes and put his presents on the table! Then, I woke up at 7 AM to quickly light the birthday candles on the cupcakes and quickly write a sweet letter before he woke up for work. He was so happy! So tonight will also be hehehe
It also turned out that the cause of his Delayed Ejaculation was... the condoms. Since we stopped using them, he comes within 5 minutes

I'm happy! Even though I know that I'll probably not be pregnant this cycle.

How is everybody doing today?

EDIT: CAMPN! I just saw in the other thread that they classified you as 'threatened abortion'. Don't worry, you know how high your numbers were! I think it is indeed due to not yet seeing anything. Try not to worry love, you have MS, your HCG is massive. They just haven't updated it yet.

 

[Trr]

Hello everyone!

Squirrel- sad to see you go but I would feel the same way when it comes to following along. It would drive me nuts. See you again soon though.

Blabla- hope you have a great day celebrating SO's birthday.

Gina- so sorry you are having problems with getting an ultrasound. I wish I could give some advice but I know nothing about how the us system works.

Bee- so sorry that the witch showed for you. I hope that you will get everything you need with your upcoming tests and investigation. Hoping you get answers soon.

Campn- still so happy you got your BFP. Saw your update on the other thread. It could be too early still. Maybe they are just being cautious because they don't want to give you false hope and tell you everything is great and then tell you something is wrong. My fingers are extra crossed for you in hopes that everything is okay.

Sorry if I missed anyone, updating from my phone.

AFM- 8dpo. Took 2 days off temping and went up to the family cabin in northern Canada. Wishing I didn't because my temp is the highest it has ever been and I have no reason as to why because I did everything accurately. I have gas pain today which I might have mistaken for cramps yesterday.

might test tomorrow. AF is due Wednesday.

 

[Conundrum]

Campn I agree with Blah, those numbers are too amazing. If you do need to talk, feel free to PM.

Bees no worries hun lol. I am sorry AF got you, hopefully your cycles are improving and with your appointment everything will be taken care of. Clomid is not too bad. Cramping is still there but nothing too bad. We haven't really told anyone about TTC and hubby is freaking out about everyone mentioning twins around us lol. Very amusing.

Blah awesome coverage, if you missed today and DTD tomorrow it would be a perfect SMEP. Have a good day with SO!

Trr I didn't realize you were so close to testing. Temp is excitng. GL and Babydust your way

 

[beemeck]

Camp - not sure what is going on but I am massively thinking about you ! Sending all my positive vibes your way

Trr - loving that all time high temp ! Really, really hoping you get the test result you want and we all want for you !

Blah - hurray for ovulating ! Or being about to lol. This cycle might be a little funky after the loss but that's to be expected. So cute about your oh bday and kudus to lots of bding ! I guess it helps a little when it's quicker

Drum- glad all is well. I'm waiting for our next set of twins on here after wannab lol. Good luck to you as always !

Busy day again today. Checking in from coffee shop lol. Nothing new here just chugging along with my stalker AF.....

 

[Smille24]

Campn- lots of . It is still early to see anything but your numbers are amazing. You are in my thoughts hun.

Trr- your temps being high is a great thing. Fxd you see a bfp this cycle. Remember, tomorrow is still early so you have time.

Drum- things get better after time with the clomid. I hope this is your lucky cycle . It's funny your dh is freaking out about twins lol, but anything is possible.

Bee- hopefully your stalker will be gone soon. Are you doing acupuncture again this cycle?

I am really praying for all of you ladies. You all deserve to get your bfps and have a happy ending. You are the sweetest group of ladies and I am so grateful to have had your support.

 

[beemeck]

Aw smille you're so sweet . I know we all will in time. Acupuncture is tomorrow ! I'm totally hooked now. I'm doing so many more healthy things for myself now I can't say for sure which ones are giving the best result so I'm keeping with all of them. The only good thing to come out of this long journey is how healthy and in tune with my body I am now. Still really non existent cramps with the exception of every now and then for a few min so I can't risk going back to wrapped up in the fetal position all day!

 

[campn]

Blabla- That's so awesome you got a positive so fast! Yay for being super fertile! Happy birthday to your SO, so sweet how you prepared for his birthday

Trr- When are you testing!? Sending baby dust your way!! Hope you get your BFP this time

Bee- Hope your appointment goes great, I think it's really helping you since your chart was just perfect this month. Hopefully AF isn't too awful.

Smille and drum- thank you so much ladies. I appreciate all the love and the good vibes!

So to update everyone my first beta was 16,674 and 48 hours later it was 23,604 so it didn't really double but once hCG gets this high I think it takes longer to double so it could go both ways.

My doctor pushed forward my ultrasound and wants me to go tomorrow instead of Wednesday. I've no idea why or what she thinks but I'm not getting my hopes up, I know this is sad to say but I'm just preparing myself for the worst news tomorrow.

 

[blablamana]

Well he didn't want to have sex with me, he 'was not in the mood'. So never mind, not pregnant this month. Or any for that matter.

I just ruined his birthday by crying.

Big hug to you hun! My DH wasn't always in the mood after trying for a few months it just became less fun for him so it's understandable, that's why here we joke about pulling out our best porn star acts! Usually involved "the kinky" things.

Don't cry just try to get it very impossible to say no. I hope you're getting my hints girl!

 

[ciz]

Blabl please don't worry its sounds like you guys done a lot off bding lately so they will be waiting for your egg. Hey look at me ov'd 2 to 3 days after our last bedroom visit turned out with a surprise bfp =) have everything crossed. And I've been there many atime were the oh 'wasn't in the mood' it really peed me off but I took it quite personal sometimes.

P.s you haven't ruined his bday..he sounds like a lucky guy to have all that thought gone into it this morning =)
