Hi ladies. Sorry no personals. Just popping in to say that smep isn't the best for me and DF. As you can see from my sigi, we need IVF. Hubby has a very low sperm count and natural conception with a sticky bean is very unlikely. I'll still be about to chat with you lovely ladies though.

Hey all!
Just dropping by to say my appointment went well- had a scan today was referred to the gynaecology unit for a scan to double check that everything was back to normal after the MMC and ERPC. The excellent news is that YES everything is normal again
wooooop! And half an hour before my appointment, AF showed up in full flow (as opposed to the light spotting I had last month) so the ultrasound tech said after this AF I'm good to go!
Jaime- get your tan on! Woop! Also, the short/long dresses suit shorter people I think better than tall people!
Mrs- you have a siggy! Yay!!

Lisa, sorry about the BFN. Vacation sex may just be what you need, good planning.
Katy, sorry to hear the news. At least now you know that IVF may be your best option.
Krystina, lounging around s pool right now would be amazing. We're going through a heat wave, so I'm stuck indoors as its too hot.
Redmonkey, congrats on your body being back to normal, I remember my first AF after my loss, I had never been so excited for it to come.
Jamie, glad your embracing your bump. Must be a good feeling to not have to keep it a secret.
Hope everyone else is doing well. AF is due in a week... Let the torture begin.

I am 34. Time is definitely not on my side. Will insurance cover any of the diagnostic costs for scans, US, SA, RE? I need to find a new obgyn!

Katy - So sorry about the news. I would try some vitamins. Vit E, Vit C, Zinc, Co Q10, & Selenium are all supposed to be good. I have heard great things about that FertilAid Man Vitamins. They have all the above in them but he will have to remember to take 1 cap 3x a day... But take them for 3 months and get a re-test done!! I am thinking of picking some up for hubby... I wish you only the best in your journey and please stick around!
May - We are close in age - I'm 32. Your really going to have to call your insurance to find out what is covered but I can tell you for sure that your blood work should def be covered at least. And I believe most diagnosis stuff is covered - it's the treatments itself that will not be covered!! For me personally, I have to pay a little bit of the blood work (like $20 or so for each test done). Insurance only covers a small portion of the Ultrasounds for me til I meet my deductible of $3,500. But my US was $273 - I have to pay $216 then once I meet my deductible I would have to pay $50 for the Ultrasounds. It's all very confusing. As of right now, my appt are covered for $25 as my OBGYN codes it as issues with Ovulation - if he codes it as Infertility then I would have to pay 100% of the costs. Which I am assuming I will have to start once I see the RE/FS bc I doubt they will code it so it is covered... I am doubting the SA will be covered as it is associated with fertility and our coverage pays 0% of fertility. I am assuming it will cost about $300. But a few states - like 9 or something - mandates that insurance has to cover some sort of fertility related issues and I believe NY is one of them so you should have better coverage than I in NC. I found the info on the RESOLVE website a while back - if you want to poke around there and find it. There's tons of great info on that website about lots of stuff!!

This helicopter racket is so annoying...I have been chasing it all day... Plus it was my last day of work too so I was trying to do two things at once. Good thing I am getting paid 200 per day for it.
Can't wait to do a digi again tomorrow.....hope it says 3+. I took an opk today and for some reason it didn't seem as positive to me.... I am going to wait and see what the digi says before deciding if I am goiing to the Doc. Appt. Tuesday or not....

Emily ..... This is info on the cabbage test
Directions
1.Go to the store and buy a red cabbage. The size of the cabbage does not matter at all.
2.Cut the cabbage into big chunks. The smaller you cut the chunks, the better your results will turn out.
3. Boil some water on the stove and put in the chunks of cabbage.
4. Let the water and cabbage boil for about 10 minutes or so. When the ten minutes is up, remove it from the heat.
5. Grab a cup and go to the bathroom! Pee into the cup.
6. In a separate cup, mix 1 part of your urine to 1 part of the water that the cabbage was boiled in. No need to save the cabbage unless you want to eat it. It's pretty tasty, so you might want to eat it!
7. If the urine/cabbage water turns pink or red then this indicates a boy result! If the urine/cabbage water turns purple, this indicates a girl result.
Katy I am sorry to hear your news, I'm sure this is not helped by the rough patch you have been having. I would try anything to get OH sperm count up. I made mine take wellman conception - I think they cost £6 in superdrug for a months supply and I got him to take additional zinc. It worked first time for us, whether that was a fluke I am not sure. I really hope there is light at the end of the tunnel. Will the NHS not give you a free cycle?
Lisa sorry for BFN, but a big fat Yay for a vacation!!!!
Jaime your a peach!!! Please send the hot weather our way. I oficially hate England! Our weather is shocking!!!!
Jess - yay for the results! How are you feeling?
I feel like shit! I feel much worse at night and its taking me a while to get comfy to get to sleep. I feel exactly as I did last pregnancy - so it would seem I am cooking a boy xx
