Hi blab - I'm just now finding threads talking about this same topic. It's frustrating bc it seems every doc is different. Mine will not do it past day 10 period. She said the lining starts to build back up then and they can't get a clear picture so I'm guessing for them it wouldn't even matter when I o (day 15 btw). Sigh. It seems there is no danger to it and I've just read about women having them done with full on bleeding so I'm gonna show up and just hope they do it. I won't be bleeding heavily by then at all.

 

[squirrel.]

Oh Bee I really feel for you I soooooo hope they do it on Wednesday! I can't imagine you having to wait another cycle.

 

[trixiesmith]

oh bee, how frustrating! A few years back when I had a pap and biopsy done on my cervix, I had just started bleeding and they still went ahead. I was told that as long as it was more like spotting rather than full on af, they usually did go ahead with procedures like that. I understand the big worry would be whether or not you were actually pregnant before they went ahead with the procedure, but if you know that you're not, I really can't see the issue of why they still wouldn't go ahead. Ugh! But I'm keeping my fx for you that everything works out.

well ladies, 8dpo today here and I've had a slight sinus cold for the past 3 days. Yesterday I was being a big of a symptom spotter and I even poas just for fun. It's been so long since I got to poas and I have so many hpts from buying bulk back in November that I just had to - I even tried to convince DH to do one lol. But now that I got that out of my system, I won't test again unless af is late.

Bee- I'm so angry for you, it just seems like a totally BS reason to not do the hsg. Have they heard of a pregnancy blood test!? They can draw so little blood from you to confirm that you're not pregnant and move on.

 

[Smille24]

Bee- that is so odd. Mine said after bleeding and after 10-12 days of abstaining from sex. In this case, I wouldn't consider spotting as bleeding. For me, they did a blood pregnancy test an hr b4 the hsg. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Bla- every day is excessive lol. I really don't think that'd be good for the baby.

Trixie- fxd for you hun!

I thought I was to get a scan at 10wks as this is my first appt with my ob. Maybe I still will, who knows.

 

[TexasRider]

Hope you get another scan smile!

Bee- I hope you can get your hsg done. I would just show up and not tell them you're bleeding. Hopefully it's just spotting by then and nothing else.

Afm- daughter had another ear infection this time a double one. Thankfully we saw her ENT Friday and they are going to put in tubes and take her adenoids out March 14. Now we just gotta keep her healthy till then. Still on antibiotics that we started Tuesday so fingers crossed. I hate that she needs another surgery but it will stop the ear infections and having the adenoids out will help with her breathing and stuff.

On the TTC front Im not doing OPKs this month. Still temping but since my husband is going to be out of town during my fertile week I decided to not even test. The best we can hope for is bd 3 days before O and the morning of 2 days before O cause he's leaving that afternoon and won't be back till Sunday which is like 2 days post O.

Texas the cycle we conceived in August last year we dtd three days before ovulation (and every day for three days before that) and we fell pregnant. My husband was away too. It's very possible! Good luck!

So excited for my appointment Monday, but after what happened with Bee, I'm a bit nervous as well. What if I'm setting myself up for a major anticlamax and they won't/can't suggest anything. Or what if they ask me to wait longer ? I don't know if the fact that it's private (rather than NHS) means I might have more say... I hope so!

CD4 and my period is getting very light where usually it's still be full flow! Seems like they're finally getting back to normal as they were before I had Isla. A part of me wonders if we're jumping the gun with seeking medical help... Maybe my body is just taking a long time to normalise after stopping breastfeeding in August? Argh! But I've been ovulating since March, so surely if things were normal then I should have conceived in that time.

 

[TexasRider]

It's possible that things are regulating even further since stopping the breast feeding squirrel. I don't know personally since I only BF for like 6 months. I had to go back to work at 6 weeks post partum and had to start pumping. Long story short I had to stop BF earlier than I wanted to cause she wouldn't nurse and only wanted bottles and production went down.

Anyway I think if you are going private they will at least do tests and let you know if everything is normal. But If you're paying out of your pocket I would think they would help you conceive.

Well it would be nice if we conceived this cycle but if not we will keep trying lol. It has to happen eventually. I just have to focus on being upbeat and positive.

Edited to add my sister just asked my daughter what she wanted for her birthday that's coming up March 26... Her answer.. A brother or a sister.... Talk about a gut punch

 

[campn]

Hey ladies sorry I'm on my phone so haven't had the chance to catch up but I wanted to share my huge bump! I'm almost 11 weeks but I look more like 15!

 

[squirrel.]

Campn: gorgeous mini bump looking like a yummy mummy!

So weirdly enough, I feel quite positive about this cycle. Not sure why. Maybe it's having taken a break, or getting really in shape, or knowing there's no reason that we shouldn't be conceiving, or we have some great chemistry going right now or just the fact that this could be our last cycle before some kind of medical intervention and the fairytale fertility story of people falling pregnant right before they're scheduled to get help. Now watch me crash and burn in a few weeks time

I've decided I won't be telling my husband when I'm ovulating this time around and see if that can avoid the forced feel to fertile window goings on. Excited that in a few days time the week before O will begin.

 

[campn]

Squirrel- I'm really happy to hear that! I really think your month is coming very soon. Maybe something just needed to be shifted in the universe! Hopefully the Stars have finally aligned for your precious twins!

 

[trixiesmith]

very cute bump camp!

squirrel - it feels good to be positive about TTC, don't you think? I didn't tell my DH this cycle when I was ovulating. it somehow made everything more relaxing and less stressful. it was nice. But I'm sure you'll get your bfp before long.

 

[Smille24]

Campn- i love the little bump!

Texas- I'm sorry about your dd. I hope she feels better. My dd use to ask for a sibling too while ttc and I'd cry. It was hard to keep it together. Fxd you get a bfp this cycle!

Squirrel- if you're going private, I would think they'd be more inclined to help you. They are very sympathetic and understand that you wanted to be pregnant months ago. Once you get it, it moves pretty fast. You've been trying for a year, you deserve answers.

 

[TexasRider]

Campn- so cute

Smile- it does suck that she's asking. I didn't even think she was interested in a sibling but maybe I'm wrong.

My temp took a jump today but I know I didn't ovulate this early. I had no ewcm. In fact it was pretty creamy yesterday. And my CBFM still reads low so who the heck knows. Hopefully my temp will go back down to the range it's been for the past few days tomorrow and I can write off this temp as an odd one. Only time will tell.

 

[Megaa]

I new her and I'm kinda lost on the lingo. But my period is 7 days late and I had some cramps on the 4th day. I didn't get implantation bleeding with my first pregnancy. I kinda just knew, and my bf kept asking so I think he just knew too. And for the past two days he's been waking me up asking me if I'm pregnant. Saying he feels that I'm pregnant, but I wanna wait another week to see if af might sneak up.

 

[trixiesmith]

Welcome megaa. :wave: I'd say test lol

well ladies, I did another test lol. I'm not even sad it was a bfn. But I may have to get DH to hide the rest of my tests because I don't know if I can control myself lol.

 

[beemeck]

thank you ladies for all of your support!! I was kind of in freak out mode on Friday thinking that this is going to have to be drawn out another month.

camp - still such a tiny bump lol but it's adorable, obv!

trixie - sorry about the bfn - they suck!!

welcome mega - hopefully you've tested by now and got a bfp - FX!

squirrel - I totally get it about the fears, especially after this. I never thought that I would ever have to wait another month because of a staff member being off?! But the good news is that you are going private. really looking forward to hearing an update from you soon!!

texas - sorry to hear about DD. hopefully they get everything nice and fixed up for her. what a little trooper. as for DH being away - maybe your O day will be off by just the right amount for an egg to be fertilized. maybe try using preseed if you don't already to get the little guys to live a little longer? FX for you!

AFM - not sure what to make of my situation. so AF did come on Friday like I expected - but it started at 9 pm (as I met friends at a bar ). I talked to another girl on here who had her HSG last month and her AF started in the evening too - they told her if it comes after 6pm, to count the following day as CD 1. So that gives me two options - the first is that now a week from today Monday will be CD 10 and they should be able to do the HSG then (assuming they have someone there to perform it). The other option is to see how my bleeding is by Wednesday because it should still be reeeeeallly light. The obvious thing to do is to call and switch it to next Monday but I'm worried that she either might think I'm making it up just to guarantee being seen or that the guy will still be on vacation then and they won't have a doctor available to do it and then I'm really screwed. sigh. so upset with them right now but just trying to remain hopeful. the woman who schedules is off today so I still have another day to figure out my plan.

 

[squirrel.]

Ooh, tricky Bee. On my paperwork for the fertility specialist they say that if bleeding starts after 1pm then you count he following day as CD1. Maybe see what your bleeding situation is like on Wednesday morning and then reschedule for Monday if it's still light. I had a super short period (for me) this time around and have been working out like crazy. Apparently excersize is really good on your period for shortening it, so maybe go for a run or something? I really hope you don't have to wait another month!!


So I am on the bus to my appointment!! Arghhh!! Been a lovely morning as the shutters we ordered back on November for our living room have been fitted. Love our big old Victorian house to pieces, but these shutters realllllly make our front room. Feeling too giddy today!

 

[beemeck]

thanks squirrel - and interested about the after 1pm. I had never heard any of this until recently although until recently I always only woke up in the AM with AF. This coming late in the day is yet another new development.

it's so funny the things we get excited for as we get older. but I'm just as giddy about those shutters as you! in fact, we've been wanting something similar but they are so hard to find. I love them - beautiful room

I keep forgetting that DH had a PCP appt for this morning. unlike most men, he's been dying to get an SA lol. my obgyn won't write him a script since we got pregnant so easily before so he asked his PCP. she only referred him to a urologist but he will call today to make that appt. she also had him get a blood test for testosterone although I'm not sure what that can tell us?

 

[campn]

Bee- It sounds like you have options so that's good! I hope you get the appointment that you exactly need to nail this thing down! Ah bars and drinking, what is that like!?
SA must be like a fun trip for our hubbies, endless porn in one closed off room with no judgement!? Yes plz!

Squirrel- Love that window! Looks like a very cozy and warm room. I love shutters and curtains too, I really need to put some dark curtains in the bedroom as the Florida sun is too bright and wakes me up even with shutters! Good luck with your appointment! Can't wait for the update!
