[Tasha S.]

Krys, I'm so glad it went well!!! I'll be praying extra hard for you!!!! xoxox Thanks for the update!!

 

[stacergirl]

Tasha-you're too sweet! I'm getting impatient, feel like we wasted the last 2 months and the lap won't come soon enough, dh is gone for another 2 weeks in middle of April. Argh! Dh says to stop being negative but I'm prob just pmsing, Af should be here tomorrow and I'm already getting lower back pains which I now know is from the endo. But thankfully my appt is this Wednesday! Yay! I'm glad your migraine went away-that must have been horrible!

Krystina-I'm so excited for you! Glad everything went smooth! I can't wait until 3/25 to find out eith you so please please don't keep us waiting to long to update us! Lol!!

May-you never know!! Keep us posted. *if* Af does come, are you considering IUi next month? Or maybe just another increase in the meds?

Hope everyone else is doing well and had a good weekend!

 

[Sunny skies]

Ladies sorry I've been MIA!! Thanks for all of you kind words and well wishes! I ended up getting the IUI yesterday because my Friday BW showed I was beginning to ovulate on my own. They told me to trigger Friday and have sex, come in Saturday for the procedure and have sex again sunday (today). The IUI itself wasn't bad it felt like a pap + I was real crampy for a few hours afterwards. They said the sperm looked great, I didn't want details so I wouldn't obsess. They also gave me some progesterone to use vaginally which I started this morning. Now it's the waiting game...I will find out if I'm pregnant on 3/25!! Me and DH prayed and I've given it up to God. I'm not going to test, just going to take it easy and obsess over all y'all! Lol!! I fell good!

May how are you feeling lady? I'm hoping you start the BFPs for this month!!

Sunny, did your RE tell you to I hope you've been getting it in this weekend!

I hope everyone had a great weekend...bout to get my cook on! Got to feed DH since he's been my nonstop sperm manufacturer for the last couple days! LOL

I'm so glad it went well and only minor cramping afterwards. You must be relieved and excited. I'm praying for you and can't wait for the 25th to see your BFP.

Yes, RE told us to We've been doing every other day until 0 which was yesterday and again today just in case. In 2 weeks if I don't get AF I can go in for HPT, otherwise I'll start Famera on CD3.

Kristina - Glad everything went so well and it all sounds so promising! I am hoping you will get your bean from this because we all soooo deserve it!

Tasha - I hope you are right. I have learned to read my body pretty well and you definitely have more high hopes in me being preggo than I do. I think I have given up a little bit. I don't get the urges to poas and I have been messing up my morning temping. I am glad you are feeling better! I had no idea magnesium helped with migraines. Good to know!

Stacergirl - I don't think I am ready for IUI yet especially since my new medical insurance is a pain in the ass. They require all sorts of pre-authorization and referrals before approving a procedure. If I get AF tomorrow, I will start my third cycle of Clomid at an increased dosage, then if that's not successful then I'll go see a RE and go from there. What about you?

 

[mammaspath]

Well hopefully you won't need IUi, but I totally understand not being ready for it. I wasn't at first but now I'm just like do whatever it takes! Lol
Afm, after the lap I think I'll try one round of ttc ob our own since we can't do any treatment that cycle anyway, and then depending on what the doctor suggests probably go straight to ovulation induction or IUi. If dh SA is the same as before then I think I'll push for an IUi rather than bothering eith just the OI, but if his SA is better than the last time I might try one month of OI and then of that doesn't work IUi. We've been ttc for 2yrs in may so were getting anxious! Plus dh will be 37 in april and I'll be 31 in August. I'm not concerned with my age but he is concerned with his (well the ppl at work whove been harrassing him about when were going to have kids are now telling him to give up on kids bc he's too old (but they don't know we are ttc and having problems)-so that's annoying!).

 

[stacergirl]

Good luck sunny! Hope you caught that egg!!

 

[krystinab]

Stacer, people are so insenstive...geesh...I feel you on getting anxious around that 2 year mark. Hopefully you will conceive right after you lap...the odds are with you!

Sunny, Im not familiar with famera is it like clomid?

AFM, nothing to report...just checking in on you ladies! OMG prometrium vaginally is Di-fucking-gusting...OMG so messy....

Yes, it's suppose to help the same way Clomid does but has less side effects such as not refucing cm. It's a newer drug in terms of use for fertility treatment but has been around awhile for cancer patients. it has been found to help with ovulation and doesn't stay in your body as long as clomid. There appears to be a lot of success with it. I think Lisa was on Femara if I remember correctly.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Even though I am one day late with AF, I know she's on her way. My temp plunged this morning and I just started spotting. Oh well...

For those of you who have been to a RE or is being treated by a RE... how did you find him/her? Was a through word of mouth? Through your own research? Through your own insurance? Referral by your gynecologist? I am really considering seeing an RE now especially since I know it will be a long time before I get approved for infertility treatments. I just don't have the patience anymore to wait for it to happen on it's own. =(

 

[Kdk24]

Well ladies... I've been spotting on and off since Staurday. I have this awful feeling things are coming to an end. I'm calling my dr in the morning to try to get an emergency appt.
The spotting start out super faint and light pink. Tonight before bed it was bright red and more than before.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see?!?

 

[stacergirl]

Kdk-aww, no! Im hoping things turn out okay! You'll be in my thoughts!! Keep us posted!

Sorry may!!! It's so frustrating! I got referred to my RE by my insurance company. I believe there's only one major one in my area and then a couple others. You should be able to search on the Internet and check reviews and such that way you'll know who you want to go to. I think seeing an RE is the best option, they know so much more than your OB does. It's the REs job to get you pregnant and they do it everyday. Even if you're not ready for IUi, he might have some insight for you that might just get you that BFP! Don't give up hope!!

 

[krystinab]

KDK, I pray that everything is ok. Put your legs up and rest. Are you going in to see your doctor today?

May, Im sorry to hear that AF came. As far as the RE I did my own research. I was interested in doctors who had high results for non IVF treatments. After I found the doctor I wanted, I called my insurance to see if they were a part of my plan. Where do you live?

Sunny, I forget, when do you go back for your followup?

AFM, just feeling tired & crampy...guessing its from the progesterone...

 

[Kdk24]

I called the dr office and the receptionist said the earliest they could see me would be Friday. Then she said I should go to the er if I was concerned.
I miscarried at the same point last time. Ugh!! This sucks!

OMG..thats ridiculous...I would go to the ER if I were you!! Maybe you need progesterone or something...I wisk you were close I would take you myself!

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Kdk24]

Still sitting in the er... Everything looks great though. Measuring right on schedule, saw the baby and
heartbeat! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders!
Thanks for all the positive thoughts and well wishes! Couldn't have gotten through it without you ladies!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Kds - glad to hear all is ok.

Stacergirl - Thanks! I am really considering seeing a RE now. I was going to keep trying in our own for a bit longer but then it hit me that I am 35 and DH is 40. I really don't have much time to waste. You're right, I hope the RE can give me more info in how to get preggo even if I don't choose to start IUI or IVF right away.

Kristina - I am in NYC. I was looking into my insurance handbook and PO led out a few REs to do research on. It is such a crap shoot not knowing who is really good and who's not.

AF came so today is CD 1 AGAIN! So frustrated!

 

[krystinab]

KDK yaaahhhhh!! Its prolly just old blood! I am so happy you saw the lil HB!!! So happy your gummy is doing well!!

May darling I cant say it enough but I am sorry about AF coming. You can ask them for a referal. I would type the doctors name or practice into a search engine and see what pops up! Also ask them flat out there success rates. You have plenty of knowlege already so you can figure out who the best fit is for you!

This has to be the longest day ever! I am so ready to go home...I plan on giving DH the gift of non-baby making LOL I am sure he will be happy!
