I hope we stay on the same path too.

As for telling people, we have told Miguel's aunt who told her kids. We told her because we just moved to the area and don't know drs. My daughter found the digi that I forgot to put away. It was on my nightstand. She has told her friends. We will tell our parents and sisters after we have the ultrasound to verify the lil bean is implanted where he should be. OH wants to tell everyone now. Lol I have compromised to telling parents and sisters now and FB announcement after we see the HB.He has faith in this pregnancy and wants to tell the world. I do too, but I am still scared. I did buy se bibs the other day though. Lol

Thats is fantastic Book.....yay!!!!!!

I had the most horrible vivid dream last night I went for my scan and there was no heartbeat. Hope its not a sign.

 

[Fezzle]

That's great, Bookwrmgal! I'm glad she didn't worry you last time!

 

[GalvanBaby]

That was a scary dream, Taurus. Praying your scan is great.

Hi all! I am going to read through all previous posts here as soon as I can (to play catch up!) but just wanted to say hello first and join the thread.

I am 38 and ttc our last little one after a mmc in June.

 

[terripeachy]

Hi MommytoLBG...I'll let you catch up now...we're chatty. hee hee.

 

[Rainshiny]

Hooray, Bookworm! I was thinking about you yesterday and glad to hear the good news!

Terri-That sounds complicated, but you are a trooper and it will all be amazing!
Taurus--eeks! poo poo for bad dreams!! I'm sure everything will be fine.
Wish-you're a hoot, as my mom would say lol

Fezzle: love the ticker! Go uterus go!
Wishing healing to everyone's shoulders! Don't forget to do your yoga stretches

I didn't have the guts to POAS with FMU on a FRER this morning! I'm feeling so chill, and don't want to either start worrying about whether I'll lose a BFP or have to come to terms with a BFN, so I'm taking another day of blissful ignorance! The only 'sign' I might have so far is that my nipples are slightly purple on the tips (sorry if that is tmi) but like my mouth tasting like pennies every day, it could have honestly been there the whole time and I didn't notice before, lol.
My favorite cheese in my avocado sandwiches was 'gabietou herve mons' from whole foods. Hmmm, it says 'thermalized' is that the same as pasteurized??? I hope I didn't eat the wrong one. Oh well !!

Taurus, I'm sending positive vibes your way. Dreams can be just plain weird.

Terripeachy, sometimes getting your mind off things is the best thing for you. I'm glad you had fun with your bestie.

AFM, my journey has hit a hiccup. They found a large cyst and it has to be removed and then I need time to heal before I can have an IUI. So that means another 2-3 months of waiting. Sigh.

 

[terripeachy]

Someday, I have read that some people take bcp to reduce cysts. That would be less invasive and you wouldn't have to have surgery. Did they mention this to you? I just don't want you to be on the sidelines for too long. although, if the cyst is large like you say, maybe it's too big for bcp to reduce it. Just thinking about options. It is what it is, I guess and better to know now than five months down the road.

 

[somedayisnow]

terripeachy, no my doctor didn't mention bcp but I'll definitely ask him. My acupuncturist thinks that he can shrink it so I gave him the go head to try. I would definitely prefer not to "waste" any more time, if I can help it.

The cyst is 8cm which is why he wants to remove it. According to him, if it was under 5cm he may have just left it alone for now. He also wonders if there's some endo hiding under the cyst. Basically, he thinks the cyst is the reason my AMH is so low -.65 and the reason why the dye was so slow to drain from my right tube during the HSG test.

The good news is that on the u/s he could see 6-7 follicles on each side which is much better than expected for my age and that my lining looked great. Now I'm waiting for AF to start so I can get my FSH checked on CD3.

I swear our future kids better respect what we're all going through to get them. This whole TTC journey aint no joke.

 

[GalvanBaby]

SOmeday, my RE gave me BCP to get rid of a HUGE 35mm cyst one time. It was gone in 3 weeks. If your RE didn't recommend this, I would ask about it. cysts can be painful, and I would hate to have to wait 2-3 months for it to go away, and plus have to pout TTc on hold for that.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Ignore my last post, I just read your last post. I need to read all the posts before responding. LOL Praying everything goes well for you, SOmeday. That is a huge cyst.

 

[somedayisnow]

No worries, Galvan. I'm still going to ask my doctor about bcp and other alternatives. There's no need to go under the knife or scope if I don't have to. But if surgery turns out to be the best option then I'll use the delay to lose some weight, pay down my credit card, and get more supplements in my system.

Speaking of supplements, I think I'm addicted to buying them. I'm waiting for my vitamin E to arrive in the mail. My second bottle of omega-3 arrived today. I swear if someone told me that licking the bottom of my sneaker would help me get pregnant, I think I would do it. Heck, I know I would do it. The moral of this story is I need to stop buying every single pill touted to be good for fertility.

Hi Wish, Book, Fezzle, Mommy, Rain and anyone else I missed

Galvan – how exciting…….scan tomorrow……will be stalking for updates xx

Kfs – what a great looking chart……when you planning on testing??

Peachy – sounds like everything is going good……shouldn’t be too far away from retrieval???

Someday – sorry to hear about the cyst. Sounds like BCP might be an option to ask for??? Not sure sorry….

 

[GalvanBaby]

I am so scared for tomorrow!!

 

[Taurus8484]

It will be great Galvan......you get to see your little bean!!!!!

 

[GalvanBaby]

I just pray he or she is in the right spot!! Being a tubal reversal patient, the possibilities of an ectopic is 10% higher than normal, and even though I doubt it is an ectopic, I am so scared to be told it is.

 

[terripeachy]

Just breathe Galvan. If it's meant to be, it will be just fine...keep us posted!

I went for an ultrasound/bloodwork today and my estrogen is steadily rising. I think it was 777. I had five follicles on the left and five on the right. They are medium sized right now, so between 10-12mm. They need to be 18 or greater for me to trigger, so I'm going back on Tuesday for another scan. I'm hoping that on Tuesday they are big enough. If not, maybe I'll go back again on Wednesday for ER on Friday. The sucky thing is that I have to order more medicine because I'm running out. I thought I wouldn't need anymore, so that's a tad disappointing, but what can I do? The delay puts me a day off of my timeline, but that's ok...I only have one thing planned in the month of August, so I'm not worried about the timing, necessarily. I would also rather recover over the weekend so I don't have to take too many recovery days off.

 

[MommytoLBG]

Okay girls...Hi! Whew...finally caught up with all posts. Took me a bit since I only have snippets of time. I just hope I can keep it all straight.

Book ~ Isn't it an amazing feeling to hear baby's hb for the very first time! And to actually see the tiny little one growing inside...helps ease some worry...So happy for you!

Galvan ~ tomorrow for you! Will be in my thoughts and look forward to your update!

Taurus ~ yours is next week? So exciting!

First AF after D&C done (spotted on and off with it for 11 days tho). Based on opk results over the last few days and what my body is telling me I should O tomorrow which is day 14. Feeling relieved...just hope it means my body is healed and ready for baby. OH and I decided to wait tho...plan to officially ttc in October.

 

[Taurus8484]

Its on Friday Mommy...........very excited!!!!! (little scared) but excited

Mommy - at least your body is almost back to normal. I remember after 1 of my miscarriages, I didnt ovulate at all the cycle after......it was so heartbreaking all round. Fingers crossed for October but wouldnt be surprised if you went for it before then

Peachy - I hope they all grow.......going to put grow dust on them all .......what does the trigger do??
