Hi everyone :wave:

ESwemba I know exactly what you mean, the whole “it will happen one day” thing almost becomes an insult when it’s said to soften a pregnancy announcement, no one truly understands what we are going through unless they have experienced it. Sorry to hear what you went through, I felt exactly the same with wanting to have the first grandchild, my dh is older than his sister so it felt right, it’s so frustrating, it’s good that we can meet people here who do understand x

Ella the waiting is horrible, I spent the whole of last year waiting for my SIL to announce, and it didn’t happen until NYE, it sounds awful but it does turn in to a bit of a race, but you’re still in with a chance x

Sugarpi I see from your signature you have PCOS, I do too, but I have only recently been diagnosed, wishing you lots of luck with the IUI x

Pnuts happy birthday for yesterday, hope you had a lovely day x

Ickle and lucy sending you both lots of luck x

Ash how frustrating, do you monitor ovulation at all? I always take ages to ovulate! Fingers crossed for next week x

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend x

thrul - I used to monitor ovulation before things got serious with the RE, like IVF and IUI, then I just stopped because I figured what's the use if they're monitoring me anyways, ya know? When I did monitor though I noticed a trend that I ALWAYS ovulated around CD 14-16 so .... this is pretty late for me. How are you doing?

 

[ttcbaby117]

hey Ash did you ever get your immune testing done? Did you get your results? i remember you saying you were going to do them but I dont remeber what the outcome was.

 

[ashknowsbest]

ttc - thanks for asking! I forgot to update you girls, oops! They all came back normal, so I'm obviously happy about it but it kinda sucks too because I WANT to not be unexplained infertility!

Sugarpi I see from your signature you have PCOS, I do too, but I have only recently been diagnosed

I was recently diagnosed as well. My old doctor kept telling me the reason why I was missing my period was due to my thyroid which didn't make sense because when my thyroid was 64 I never missed...but once it got to 12 I'm missing?! But my new doctor tested me for PCOS and it was confirmed with the blood test and ultrasound that I have it. So take that old doctor! :/ clomid didn't work for me to get me to ovulate...but femera has been working so far which is awesome! My IUI went well. Hubbys sperm was really good...I was so concerned cuz we never had it checked so I'm was freaking out the night before. But he had 122 million sperm AFTER the wash. Which was awesome! And everything else looked good. So hopefully this is what we needed!! I hope we all have a good year this year and get our BFPS!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Oh trust me I understand that! I am unexplained also and it is such a frustrating thing to know there is nothing wrong (which is great)....but then why are we not pregnant yet!

 

[Pnutsprincess]

Hey Ladies,
Thank you for the Birthday wishes! I just relaxed with my hubby. My hubby made me a cake and dinner. It was a very nice night. How are you all doing? I am really sorry I have been MIA. I guess I am just trying to keep my mind off of TTCing. I am still waiting on my husbands semen analysis results. I start school the 22 now. I am nervous and excited at the same time. it is all online, so i hope I will do well

 

[ashknowsbest]

ttc - yeah exactly, just totally sucks, not to mention I kind of wanted to throw it in my RE's face when something did come back wrong ... but again, it didn't!

 

[pinkfee]

Punt -happy birthday

How's every one doing?

Taro - how's things Hun? X

I'm back for my second scan tomorrow so looks like EC will be Tuesday should find out tomorrow

Good luck for tues Lucy, hope there are lots of lovely eggs waiting for you. Remember its not necessarily quantity it's quality, I only ever got 4 eggs and all you need is 1! x

 

[wannabeprego]

@Ash, I hope you can get some answers soon about what is going on so you can find out if you will be able to move forward with your IVF cycle or not!!! Good luck with everything. I have everything crossed, and I am hoping and praying that IVF cycle is a success and that your BFP will be here before you know it!!

@Peanut, Happy belated Birthday!!! I hope you had a wonderful and joy filled day!!

@TTC, good luck with your IVF cycle!!I hope you get your BFP!! I see you are on the Jan, Feb, MArch IVF thread and some of those girls were on my old thread when I did my November IVF cycle and they are a wonderful group of girls!! They are so supportive and sweet!! I am stalking the thread so I can see how the girls I am friends with are doing so I am also following you on there!!

@Lucy, good luck with your egg retrival!!! I agree with pink, it is not about the quantity but the quality of your eggs!!! I hope you get your BFP this time around!!!!

@Everybody else, Good luck to all of you lovely ladies!! I hope you girls all get your BFP's and that 2013 is a year full of blessings for all of you!!! Even though I haven't posted on the thread lately I still stalk and check in to see how you girls are doing!!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

wannabe - thanks! I know I will be able to move forward just wondering when....I've been having EWCM so I'm pretty sure I'm around ovulation time, so by Friday I should be good to go.

 

[Tarotempres]

Lucy - I hope your EC goes well. Thinking of you. All is good here. Just monitoring until AF comes so we can start our IUI cycle. Also fighting with the insurance company for meds. It has been a struggle since Christmas but I will hopefully get it all figured out tomorrow.

Hope everyone else is well.

Well I think the witch got me yesterday at only 10 DPO, which caught me totally unawares as I'd had barely any cramping etc. Some people have suggested it might be IB as its quite light and so early for me but who knows, my ov date was always a guess. I'm going to call the clinic today for advice before I start my next round of clomid.

 

[wannabeprego]

@Taro, good luck with your IUI cycle!!!

@Ickle, I am so sorry that the got you!! Since it was kind of a weird AF with light flow did you take a HPT to make sure it was negative before assuming it was for sure AF?? Good luck with your next clomid cycle hun!!!

 

[ickle pand]

I did a HPT this morning but it was a BFN. AF has faded away to just spotting now. I called the clinic for advice and they don't think it's AF yet so I've not to start my next round of clomid yet. I'll just keep testing until AF shows her face properly and see what happens.

I'm thinking of asking for an alternative to clomid though as I'm finding this very stressful.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Ash - hahaha, that is hilarious....I know what you mean though....just knowing there is something wrong and being able to fix it is so much easier....but I like you are just more unexplained than anything.

Wanna - thanks so much hun! I have found myself really comfortable in that thread.

afm - well I got my email back from the dr and I will do 1 month of birth control pills prior to my IVF cycle. I am awaiting a response to see how many weeks I will need to be on it or if it is a full month etc. I am really trying to find out what the process is for this so hopefully they can give me some sort of calendar.

 

[OperationBbyO]

Ickle I really liked Femara.

 

[ickle pand]

Is femara tablets or injectables? My clinic only lists clomid and injectibles on their site but they might have others they use.

Your welcome. Did you decide if you were going to do your IVF cycle at the same fertility clinic I went to, or will you be staying in Florida? Good luck with whatever you have decided.
