Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

Well my husband and I have spent so much time in the car together, (visiting sil new baby)....we started discussing our finances. Specifically the costs moving forward with fertility treatments. I know that I won't be starting with the most expensive treatments but I know the initial consultation is $300. We've already started an account with roughly 700 toward treatments. We decided to pretend we are already paying for child care costs, 125 a week. So we can put that into our possibly fertility payment bucket.

I mean if we get pregnant we will already have a good saving method and of not we can build for whatever treatments.

That's a pretty cool idea Diddy.

That's a fab idea Diddy. Is that 300 just for initial consultation with a fertility specialist? Reading this does make me grateful for nhs here

1dpo today & think i felt a little ovulation cramping yesterday but could just be something else. Anyhow i am in the 2ww! its funny how soon as u enter 2ww the nerves kick in aswell the excitement. might do pineapple core again from 1-5dpo starting today x

The cost of fertility treatments is enough to cause ulcers lol. The first ultrasound I would get is $400...ultrasounds after that are $300 (each). That does not include the costs of possible medications. Really I am hoping to start with a different medication to help me ovulate. But they'll want to monitor it by ultrasound....I don't know if there is a way around it.

My insurance covers no fertility issues. Clomid is considered an ovulation issue, not fertility. Still paying 55 a month for that!

Hopefully we make it happen, but our track record isn't good lol. At least I persuaded him about the savings!

 

[Mom2sam]

Wow thats insane nw i really feel lucky & wont be complaning so much about nhs being too slow or not proactive enough. Wen trying for my first we got all testing for free & clomid free for a year they even told us we can get 1 free treatment on nhs for ivf if iui fails. Hopefully u wont need any of that & like myself conceive with the help of clomid. But sounds like u have a good dh who is supportive so definitely helps as this ttc is such a roller coaster of emotions nevermind having to deal with finance side of things. Fx crossed u get it this cycle x

Mummy hope ur egg drops soon, i'm worn out with smep & still got tonight to go. With the smep tells me to miss tmrw & thn bd once last time but might gv it a miss as seriously its getting too much for me. Usually i'm happy with twice a week! X

Another lovely hot day here you all know Uk for cold weather so going to make most of it & take DS to park & just sunbathe on grass. Hoping we get a long summer & at moment it's going right way.
Dh cn do the running around in park today, told him my body needs t just relax & get ready to implant so i'l just lay on grass lol he said u wish your joining in with mini golf once thr. Just finished cleaning & put away my winter clothes & sorted my wardrobe out. I think i'm secretly trying to get things organised incase i do get pregnant coz once hyperemesis kicks in i'm bed bound for most of first few months of pregnancy so need to sort house out beforehand & then just keep on top of it x

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

We are also at the park just bought dd a bike gosh that's hard work she's pushin peddles wrong way lol
Good luck mom2sam you in the 2week wait now?

She's 3 n half - 4 in October hehe. I never really bothered with skates wen i was young. Aww the fun begins for you then il be very happy if I ov tomorrow hehe I could get a birthday bfp if I'm lucky in June hehe af due between 4-6th my bday being the 6th hehe

 

[mzhwd]

Mom2Sam what's pineapple core???

@Diddy Wow I would've never guessed that it was so expensive.

Glad more are in the 2ww and I hope the rest of you guys join us soon. I guess I'll be testing sometime this week. Yay!!!!!

 

[Mom2sam]

Mummy a birthday bfp sounds good mines on 20th, with my first i got a bfp just before my birthday but spent my birthday in bed puking up lol x

Mzwid idont even know if i need it but read on here something in the pineapple helps with implantation. I love pineapple anyway so got a fresh pineapple not tinned & cut it into 5 peices & you have 1 a day from 1-5dpo including the core. Some ladies say u eat just the core x

Good luck for wen u test so exciting i think i will start testing on Sunday or Monday although early will be 9dpo on Monday

2dpo for me today nothing to do but wait now

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I have a good feeling that ovulation is today temp has dropped plus more cm n tingly feelin very exciting should confirm in 3days but il try an opk around 11am

 

[Mom2sam]

Woohoo that's good news mummy x

So my sis had her gender scan today & it's another boy so exciting now i'm even more broody! x

 

[Diddy2013]

Cbfm is reading high...I'm hopeful for a peak day Wednesday. It's supposed to show 3days of high and two days of peak fertility. That would be the earliest I've ovulated since before my miscarriage. CD14, temps are still in the pre ovulation range.

I've been doing the preseed with applicators, and sneaking it so my husband doesn't know....really hope that makes a difference.

The thought of fertility treatments is overwhelming, I won't be able to afford ivf, and I'm not a fan of iui because you have the same likelihood of becoming pregnant 20%. I can't fathom paying $600 (cost of an iui) for something that doesn't increase the chance of becoming pregnant.

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Anyone think my opk looks positive? Iv waited about 6hrs to do it lol

 

[Diddy2013]

Id say it is almost positive, very close!

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I'm gonna see what my temp does next 3days cause my dip today would suggest I ov today but we shall see I could have missed the surge and its on its way back negative il see what the opk looks like tomorrow

 

[mzhwd]

Anyone think my opk looks positive? Iv waited about 6hrs to do it lol

Definitely looks close to me. Hopefully that was your Ovulation dip. FX'd

Just out of curiosity did he notice the preseed? I'm feelin very positive about this cycle although didn't get to try my preseed, I'm not very good in morns not really with it lol that's probably why dd was very good at sleeping as a baby because I enjoy my sleep lol so used to have lots of it hehe i pretty much didn't feel preg most the time. Certainly couldn't tell I was preg to look at me, had no cravings or even bad back or anything just heartburn, constipation and a few week feelin nauseas but not enough to be sick lol.

 

[Mom2sam]

Diddy i have a good feeling for you looks like the clomid is bringing ovulation on time & with the preseed i'm really hoping u get this cycle. Just keep bd @ use the preseed everytime & stay laying down for at least 20 mins u prob already know lol oh yeah i too wanted to ask did he notice anything different with the preseed?

Mummy looks very close to a positive mine was like that at 1.50 & at 4 same day 2 hours later was positive this is why i say at this point worth testing twice maybe 3 times so u dont miss the surge. If u didn't test again today & goes lighter tmrw i think u wudv missed that positive by only testing once. But i think with temping u'l know in next few days anyway fx crossed for all of this cycle. Hopefully we get lots of bfp
