Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

Thanks, Amy and Lisa!

Lisa -I was afraid the dye they put to check the tubes might be harmful to sperm? Btw, I am excited for you with the gender scan! Eeekkk
 
yall know im too scared to test...LOL...but I will promise...today! even though I know it will be a bfn...my timing wasn't great
 
Hey Ladies!!

May-Hehe!! I told the radiology-tech about my situation (I told him I was a the beginning of my cycle and that I was TTC), he was so cute! He kind of blushed and didn't say anything precise, he just said shyly "Trois jours" ("Three days"). :blush: I was too shy to ask him anything else, so I just smiled and said "Gotcha"...but I wasn't exactly sure what I was supposed to get. :shrug: Does that mean no BDing?? Or does that mean since I'm still about a week away from O, I don't need to worry about it?? At first, I decided that I wanted not to BD for 3 days, just to be on the safe side. And then life happened. :wacko: DH and I are notoriously bad with abstinence...he said he didn't care if I was radioactive! :haha: I'm not going to beat myself up about that, I figure I'm not ovulating yet, so it shouldn't be too worrisome. And that's AWESOME about more CM May!!!!! I'm a real believer in natural products. I think you should stick with it! CM is UBER important for conceiving!! Oooh, and looks like you'll be getting a good chance to conceive with the HSG! We're definitely being TTW buddies again this cycle!!! xoxox

Lisa-You killed me! :haha: I'm really feeling this glow lol!! So excited to hear about your scan in a week!!! And too cute about preggo clothes! :flower: Are you thinking of names yet?? And if so, is it a secret??

Sunny-I feel ya girl. How many DPO is the 25th of Dec going to be for you?? If I knew that getting a BFN would make me feel really down, I would really consider taking an early test on the 24th or waiting til after the 25th...just so you can enjoy Christmas with your DH! But I understand the temptation...a BFP WOULD be a great Christmas gift...:hugs:

Krys- I hate testing. I totally understand you!!! Fx for you hun!!!

AFM: Just got back from the dr's office. We went over the scan from yesterday and concluded that there IS swelling in my foot (DUH! I can't believe I did a 3-hour scan just to show me that!). He said he's not in maternity so he's not going to deal with the copper/conceiving, he said to phone my family doctor, sigh. I have another appointment with him next week (he's a rheumatologist), and I need to call my family doctor today! I was sent for more bloodwork too. In sum, no answers yet!
 
krystina.. i have been stalking you... where is this test?!
 
Lisa, thats so awesome...maternity clothes. I am still so happy for you. Do you have a gender prefrence?

Tasha, radioactive...hilarious! Like you Im not good with abstaining either :) It sucks you have to go to another DR about the copper...ugh...

May, girl I pray you get your BFP this month!! As for the psychic readings. I think they have trouble with the year. I got a reading recently adn it was the EXACT same reading I got last year...LOL the months & genders are consistant ..I just think the years are off soemtimes...

AFM, finally broke down and tested and as usual BFN...just hoping its not one of those 39 day cycles....ready to get on with AF and get this treatment started.
 
Bummer about the BFN Krystina. I'm so sorry! I just chart stalked you for the millionth time - by chance to do you think you could have OV'd on CD20?

My Cheri reading said Sept which was true and she said BOY. I also have a "motherly" feeling of baby being a boy.

Tasha - We have thrown around a few names we like but nothing has stuck out enough to be "the one". We don't plan on keeping it a secret. I think names will be easier once we find out gender. Then we can narrow it down easier!
 
Dove, Tasha and Lisa, I'll be 14 DPO on Dec 24th. I don't want to test early so I guess I should wait for the 26 if AF doesn't show. I hope I can wait it out.

May, hope the HSG goes well tomorrow. Those tubes will be peeped in time for O.

Lisa, can't wait to see your little bump. I predict boy for you.

Army, hope your feeling ok.

AFM, luckily it's a busy time so the TWW should go by quicker. I want to think positively but I'm not getting my hopes up. Don't know if my HSG will be booked this year but hoping that after Christmas I can get one booked.
 
I ordered a shirt for my OH and a matching onesie for a baby boy.... my sister asked but what if it's a girl. It seriously did not even cross my mind once. I am convinced it is a boy. OH would love a girl and is in love with the dresses I got at my shower. lol. I was told at an apt. yesterday that I will have a big baby and now everyone thinks boy!

Krystina - So sorry to hear it was a bfn and I hope you don't have another super long cycle. Relax and enjoy your holiday and make a baby without realizing it :P hugs...
 
Jess! That's really cute how sure you are that it's a boy! :winkwink: When are you due??

May-Thinking of you time a gazillion!! Today's the day! Fx you have good news to report!! :flower:

Sunny-I'm glad the TTW will pass faster because you're busy...TTW's are the worst emotionally! Let us know when you get an HSG booked and we'll cheer you along!...hopefully you'll get good news before that! :winkwink:

AFM-I'm happy! I called my family doctor yesterday, she did some research and said not to worry about my copper levels. She said they are elevated, but not too substantially. So I have the OK to keep TTC! :happydance:

So glad you can keep trying, I'm sure it's a relief that those levels won't harm your future little bean.

Jessica--I was wrong about the sex with all 3 pregnancies, LOL

Tasha--that's fantastic news!!
 
Hey Ladies Happy Friday :happydance:

Tasha, great news! Time to get back into TTC gear!!

Jess, you are so sweet girl thanks for the encouragement :) they say the mom knows. BUT my parents were convinced I was going to be a boy...prepared for a boy and everything, I can only imagine when I came out missing a piece they were dumbstruck....LOL If you do have a girl maybe you can cutesey up the outfit with something pink :)

Lisa, I have no idea...I just thank that my body is playing with me, but Im going to embrace it....I am sure the injections will teach my ovaries a lesson...LOL
 
Hi girls! I have been through a hell of a day. I had my HSG today. I was so nervous about it I couldn't even sleep well last night. I took 2 Advils an hour before the appt, got there and was admitted right away. I can't say I am comfortable spreading eagle in front of strangers. The doctor happens to be this little man who looked a bit creepy. Anyway, when we were starting he asked the radiology tech (Sophie) whether or not she has the "blue" one. Blue what, I don't know. But Sophie said due to Hurricane Sandy, the shipment was delayed so we only that "that one". Now I am even more nervous. What's wrong with "that one"? And since he doesn't have the "blue one", does it mean it's going to hurt more? The doctor put in the speculum and popped it open inside my vajayja (ouch). Then he was telling me he's going to put in the catheter and then decided to remove the speculum and ask Sophie for the "metal one". I assume the plastic catheter was not good enough. The thought of "metal' inside the little hole in my cervix scared the crap out of me. After Sophie brought him a bag of metal thingys and he took the one he wanted, he popped the speculum in me again (ouch) and started the procedure. I was somewhat comfortable until he injected the contrast (dye) in me. HOLY $HIT. The pressure and cramping I felt is nothing like AF. I thought my uterus was going to explode. It only lasted 1-2 minutes but I would never ever go through that again. After he stopped injecting, the pressure and cramps went away so I was a bit better. He had me turn on my side slowly but while I was turning, I felt like my clitoris was being stimulated by his finger. I felt so violated at that moment but didn't know if I was over-thinking it. When he told me to turn to the other side, I was afraid he was going to do that to me again so I firmly told him to stop. He then told me we were done with the procedure and said both my tubes are open. Now I should be thrilled but I really felt confused and violated. I made an appt with my gyno immediately and went to speak with her. She explained that sometimes when they ask you to turn during the HSG, they have to put a finger inside the vagina to hold the catheter in if they took out the speculum. She said he might have accidentally brushed my clitoris when he's holding the catheter in place or re-adjusting it so it doesn't slip out. I told her it felt like he was rubbing me there in a circular motion. She didn't defend him at all and said she is not sure what happened but if I felt it was done inappropriately, I should report it to the hospital. I am going to wait until my gyno gets the results on Monday so I can find out the name of the doctor who did the HSG so I can report him. Am I over-reacting?

I also spoke to my gyno about Clomid. I feel like my cycle has been a bit irregular lately and I hated the fact that my cycles are soooo long. I am hoping that taking Clomid can help bring O earlier and produce better/more eggs. My gyno was all for me trying it next cycle since I got a verbal that my tubes are ok (she will confirm on Monday when she gets the results) and gave me a prescription for it so I don't have to go back. We just have to work on DH getting his sperm count up (he is taking Fertilaid and Count Boost now but haven't seen a urologist yet).

I have the go ahead to start BD in 2 days. I am hoping my tubes are all cleaned up and opened for this cycle. I am hoping for a Xmas, HSG, DH's birthday baby!
 
Dear May!! I'm so sorry that you felt violated during the HSG!! Was your DH there with you?? I'm not sure if you're over-reacting...I feel violated when I'm getting a pap smear even when it's done by a woman! :wacko: I hate those invasive procedures, but SOOO happy to hear that it sounds like your tubes are okay!! :happydance:
 
Tasha - DH couldn't take off from work so I went by myself, although, I think even if he did go with me they wouldn't have allowed him in the room with all the radiation. I am completely fine during pap smears and I recently had an intravaginal scan where they had to stick this big wand inside. No problem. I can't help but think that this guy was being inappropriate.

I'm so sorry May!! Well, seeing as you're not super sensitive about pap smears and other stuff, I think it's worth your while to file a complaint. I mean, he might already have a record, who knows? Other women might be thankful if you do!
 
Sorry you had a bad time May....go with your gut! My Dr has done all sorts of poking and proding and never once have I felt it innappropriate so if you did it probably was in my opinion....on the up soda yay for clomid and yay for clear tubes :)
