Ok so i may have done something a bit silly this morning . . . Despite saying i am not going to test early the need to POAS was too strong so i used an IC. Now i am not sure if it was a bfn or a very very very faint blink and you will miss it bfp. Why did i test???!

Ha! I did the exact same thing this morning, except for me, not even a "blink". I shouldn't have, it put me in a bad mood all day. Tomorrow is my official blood test. If it's not I am going to be hell to live with...

Congratulations to everyone who has become successful in achieving a BFP!

Someone once told me that you don't choose your baby, your baby chooses you.
I try to keep that in mind when I see a BFN these days. If it is meant to be, it will be.
I'm confindent we all will have our chance at being a mother one day.

Until then, best of luck to each of you ladies on your TTC journey!

hi everyone. i am going to get straight to it. we missed our chance for clomid + IUI this month because of my screwy cycle-which my doctor said every woman is entitled to have one each year- so onto next month.
we have a movement issue with OH sperm. everything else seems fine. that's why doc suggests IUI. my OH is devastated. he avoided having a SA since november and due to his heart issues he wouldn't take the wellman conception vitamins the doc had told us to take and now he's really sad about his results.
i don't know how to comfort him without feeling a little mad that he wouldn't do his part for so long. everything was my fault this whole time 2,5 years!!! we knew he had a movement issue since 2010 and i would have to fight him to get him to take any vitamins. he eats well getting (i thought) plenty of anti oxidants from vegetables and fruit and nuts but i guess vitamins are the way to go afterall.
i am really trying to be supportive. men aren't very good at recieving bad news, are they?

 

[urchin]

nope - men are rubbish at such things (and even worse at taking blummin vitamins!)

I hope this result prods him into some action hon xxx

Me and OH truly believe that, which is why we didn't find the decision of moving onto DE, a difficult to make.

I kept the box of Wellman Conception under the coffee table in the lounge and as soon as he finished dinner every evening, I would have to physically get one out of the packet and hand him a drink of water. Well, let's be honest, we don't want them tiring themselves out do we....poor loves..... 7 months of that (and giving up smoking) and his SA improved loads.

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Men! If they aren't making us miss our fertile times they are refusing to do SA or take there blinking vitamins! My DH refused to stick to his gluten free diet (diagnosed coeliac) and last SA was so bad that our FS was convinced something was seriously wrong with him! Of course when he heard from her that sticking to his diet could improve his he decided to flipping do it (despite the fact I had been harping on for a year saying exactly the same!) Men!

Hi Ladies! I know I haven't posted here much, but I have a question. Does the below response look like my insurance will cover an HSG?

Thank you for contacting Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The hysterosalpingogram requires a pre-authorization before the service is rendered. If a pre-authorization is not completed prior to the service being rendered, the claim may be denied. If the pre-authorization for the hysterosalpingogram is approved, your co-pay responsibility will be determined by where the service is provided. There is a $40.00 co-pay member responsiblity if this service is provided within a participating specialist's office. If this procedure is performed in a participating outpatient facility setting (hospital), your co-pay responsiblity is $40.00. On your policy, the maximum out of pocket that you would pay per calendar year is $2500.00.

Sorry for the thread jack, I wanted to make this a private message but I don't think I have the proper post count to do so.

I am a soon to be first time father and my wife and I have struggled to get to where we finally have a healthy pregnancy and are excited for our baby girls arrival. Just before this pregnancy finally took we had a HSG done as a followup after multiple miscarriages (3 total). All along we have tried to be very careful making sure insurance would cover any treatment and our doctor supposedly checked on the HSG. But now Anthem is denying the claim even after the doctor sent another claim and letter giving a new diagnosis code.

Dazed Where did you contact Anthem at to get that response? I'm hoping that if I can prove that pre-authorization was required and not done that my doctors office will be responsible and be able to work it out with Anthem.

Any other input from people here is appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Hi 12Summerbaby, congrats on being a father to be!

I actually e-mailed Anthem through my online account. I have Anthem Healthkeepers and from what I always thought, they didn't cover anything infertility wise. I wanted to be sure that they wouldn't cover it so I just e-mailed them directly and got a response fairly quickly. After I found they will cover it with pre-authorization, I contacted my doctor and he took care of everything else. I can't tell you for sure that they covered it because I only recently had it done and its not showing on my online account, but I haven't gotten a bill yet either. I think you could call their 1-800 number too and ask them that way.

Here is the link to the Anthem Website to register if you aren't registered already.

So... the HCG levels are inconclusive, which is better than a flat zero - I'm at 40 and was hoping to be over 100. I'm scaring myself researching HCG levels on the net now. Arrgh! Apparently this can go on for weeks!!

 

[purple_hope]

FXed for you 10years! You've waited so so long for this, what's a couple more days right?

 

[purple_hope]

Raz, POAS is hard to resist! Just try it again tomorrow, if you have the courage. Are you having symptoms also, which made you want to test early?

To chime in about the 'men' thing, they never listen!! It drives me nuts! I'm always like "Hunny, we've been at this for years, hence I've been researching this whole 'infertility' things FOR YEARS! I have acquired quite a bit of knowledge on the subject." greekgirl Sorry about your screwy cycle and I hope your OH steps up and starts trying to be proactive now.

Oh and welcome to all the newbies! :wave:

 

[10yearsttc]

FXed for you 10years! You've waited so so long for this, what's a couple more days right?

That is true - I guess you just think "on this day, I will know for sure" and then you find out that you never really know until you're in labour.

Ya, I know how you feel. With all of this LTTC uncertainty we cling to our "test dates" or "AF dates" as concrete. And now you have a 4 day countdown!

Are you having any symptoms? I ask because I'm in my 2ww now and regardless of how hard I'm trying to be "breezy" I'm symptom spotting and symptom researching!! Arrgghh! So any exciting symptoms?

 

[urchin]

Morning ladies (and gent!)
Symptom spotting is a killer - doesn't matter how much we protest we're not doing it, we're still secretly assessing our tits for soreness



SummerB - I don't know the answer, but just wanted to say hijack away!
Congratulations on your upcoming arrival and welcome to our happy thread

Symptoms - oh yes - and I've been trawling this forum to find a thread on it but haven't found one, so thanks for adding!

Cramps for nearly 2 weeks now, slightly different than a normal period, sort of sharper and keeping me awake a bit at night. Plus I've never had sore boobs in my life, but at the moment they are quite tender.

Oh, and bloated up like a darn balloon, can't wear most of my clothes (I'm really small so it looks really obvious that I'm straining my pants right now!)

What about you, Purple? What are you going through, and when are you going to test?

Ha ha! True!

 

[purple_hope]

Well, I've been having all kinds of symptoms but the more I research the more I find they might just be from Clomid

Right around the time I Oed I started to have really sensitive nips. They have been sensitive this whole time. Only recently my bbs have started to become sensitive too. And oh the cramping! It won't let up! First I think the cramping was because the follicles were growing, then around O I figured it must be post O pain because you can have fluid that comes from your ovary into your tube which can cause cramping and discomfort. But now, it's not AF time so what gives?

Then there's been the fact (tmi warning) that I have been feeling really wet with lots of cm! I know when I had my blood work done my hormones were really high because I had more than 1 follicle, so maybe all of this craziness is from the high levels?? I'm still breezy though (or trying to be)!

Oh and I never really 'believe' the symptom of cravings to be real when others report it, but I've been demanding certain types of food for lunch with my coworkers lol. To the point it is kinda hard to get our group to go exactly where I demand we go lol. I guess I'm now a believer of cravings. So if all of these symptoms are from Clomid, I guess I can no longer say I didn't have any side effects Test date at the earliest should be Monday, I'm CD25 today.

congratulations on the father to be!
welcome to the newbies.
and good luck to everyone waiting for their BFP this month. fingers crossed.

i think we're not trying this month as the doc said it's very unlikely to happen without help.
life just keeps slapping me down in the baby dept.
need a vacation.

ps- this is for the most part a happy thread.
i don't want to be the one who cries on here all the time. so i think i will stick to my journal for a while. thanks for all the support. sorry if i dragged anyone down.
