BFP Chasers...........Feel free to join....

[GalvanBaby]

Taurus, ragweed is a horrible plant that causes horrible allergies in the US. It is my enemy! LOL

Terri, most drs prescribe 10k triggers to induce ovualtion, so it is more than likely gone. Mine was always gone 7 days later.

My birthday was great! We did a small family cookout Saturday night for my bday. Then, yesterday I went to meet with one of OH's cousins to see if he would let me move in with him and hi wife in Texas for the school year, so I can get this tumor taken care of. He agreed and aid no rent! So I amin the process of moving back to the States and getting a dr in Texas!

Happy Birthday Galvan!

Sorry for AF Mommy...

Retrieval was yesterday at 9:20 am - they got 10 eggs. Waiting for the call on how many fertilized...not going to lie - I am pretty scared that it is not a good number. The retrieval went well. I was crampy and had some bleeding yesterday but slept most of the day. They only gave me Tylenol, which is surprisingly helpful - I woke up from my nap pretty crampy and took another dose and it calmed down. Took my first progesterone shot this morning - not as bad as I thought, but we'll see how the day progresses.

Its getting pretty real!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Mommy - sorry for AF. You are right, it will get done when it gets done.

Galvan- that sounds like a lovely birthday and I'm so happy you will be able to get care across the border!

Moni - FX that you have great fertilization numbers!

Taurus- Ragweed is an abundant flowering weed that grows across North America (not sure about the rest of the world). It's really strong pollen that a large population of people have reactions to. It makes me hack, sneeze, and not be able to breathe for most of August and September. Normally I am super medicated but I am resorting to natural remedies and benadryl.

AFM - This little one doesn't seem to like me wearing pants or shorts (other than my pajama shorts). While my clothes fit ok in the waist still, the pressure in the stomach is aggravating nausea. Looks like I'm going to have to check out some dress sales to see if I can find cute things on the cheap.

Sorry to join the thread so late, but I've been trying to figure out which ones to join and this one seems to have lovely ladies on it. I've been gone a long time, since the fall of 2012. Last June I had a beautiful baby boy, who is my life and my love. For the last few months, my DH and I have been discussing when to start TTC #2. The first time around, getting pregnant took a LONG time, so this time around, and given our ages, we knew we had no time to waste. So here I am, this is our first official month of trying. I ovulated last night/today, so I should be testing around the 27th. We BDed twice yesterday (morning and nite) Since we had trouble conceiving the first time around (I saw a FE we did Chlomid, Femara, then moved on to 2 cycles of injectibles, and 2 IUIs) this time around I know it probably won't be any easier. We did get DS from using Femara, and just BD naturally, so this time around I'm hoping to use the 2 rounds of Femara that I have left - this cycle I took Femara CD 3-8. I know some may frown on self-medicating, but at this point I know so much about the entire process, my body levels, etc (plus I have a medical background) that I'm not sure what a doc can give me, other than more Rx for Femara
I am wondering though if my levels have changed since having my son - it seems that my OV is later each month, but my luteal phase is shorter (I also have progesterone left over to help remedy that). I know I have very low AMH which means my egg reserve is pretty depleted as of 2 years ago, so I'm sure it's not any better now. Guess I can just hope for the best! I'm looking forward to meeting all the ladies here - here's to a good month of August!

So, 7 were mature and 3 fertilized. Transfer is Friday at 1pm...hoping they all make it.

 

[terripeachy]

Hi K. Welcome! Taurus specifically wrote 'feel free to join' so others would feel free. A lot of us bounce around on different threads though, so you'll see our names pop up here and there.

I'm getting my bloodwork on the 27th as well, but I'll probably be testing on the 25th. We can be testing buddies.

Anyway...hope your chase to the BFP is short and it sounds like you have a great plan in place to make it happen. Thanks for hanging with us!

Oh yeah, Bookwrmgal-I found a skirt (and a strapless dress that I wear at home) at Goodwill that is perfect! I went the same day i had to do laundry, so it worked out well. I think I spent $10 total.

 

[Taurus8484]

Mommy – sorry got you gosh I really dont like her

Nikki – where you at in your cycle??

Galvan – good to hear your birthday was good. Hope you got spoilt

Moni – Will you be having all 3 put back in??? Keep us informed about how its going.

Book – 9 weeks is when the HCG peaks in our bodies. Good news this is as bad as it gets now with nausea and vomiting etc……should start to get better from the next few weeks on. My pants are getting tighter around the waist also.

KBrain – welcome…..your story is similar to mine in regard to I had my little boy last May at 39 and we started trying again a few months ago. Took us 5 cycles, well 4 really as one cycle I was extremely ill at ovulation time so we got no in. Look forward to watching your journey with us

Peachy - feeling anything?????

Hi kfs1 and anyone else I missed.....

afm - still havent vomited but nausea has definitely picked up the last few days. Red meat still makes me gag along with hot vegetables.........yuck just the thought

That ragweed sounds like horrible stuff......I dont think we have anything like that here do we Nikki.....nothing comes to mind.

Spring is 2 weeks away now and the weather is just starting to feel like spring instead of winter

 

[Nikki1979]

Taurus - I am not sure but there was some kinda plant in my previous house ( yellow flowers) that my hubby was allergic too. Don't know what it was called though.

Moni - I hope all 3 of the fertilized eggs grow nicely.

AFM - am roughly 11dpo and got a negative on frer. I never use frer unless I am late but the stupid IC fooled me. I have been testing from 9dpo using IC's and it was always stark white but today it had a clear second line but far away from the control line. I showed it too hubby and he said maybe its a BFP. He said why don't you test with frer and ofcoz I felt silly coz that was stark white. I have 2 frer tests left - I got a pack of 3 for free from first response when I complained there tests were not working properly when infact I was having a chemical pregnancy

 

[Bookwrmgal]

KBrain- Welcome I don't blame you about the self-medication. You know your body and you know the routine you had to go through last time. Here's hoping your BFP comes quickly.

Terri- That's some good deals at Goodwill! I keep checking mine but I live in a pretty low income and largely rural area so my local thrift stores are almost always picked clean. I should check closer to my in-laws where people have more money though! There's also a store similar to Burlington Coat Factory about 30 min out of my way commuting home that has some good deals.

Taurus- still no red meat here too. My FIL's birthday is Saturday and my MIL is having us over on the 31st for burgers Thanks for the reassurance about the nausea. I was doing really well since Thursday but after lunch today it got really bad.

Moni- yay for 3! Are you going for all of them this time?

Nikki- FX that the line is there tomorrow!

 

[Taurus8484]

Nikki - can you post the IC test??

 

[Nikki1979]

I binned it. I think it was just the dye that didn't get passed through.

 

[somedayisnow]

Galvan, Happy Birthday! I was so worried about your surgery so I'm hoping this move to TX will allow you to get it sooner.

bookwrmgal, I love that your little one is the size of a pea and it's already dictating what momma can and cannot wear.

kbrain3377, welcome! All the ladies here are super nice.

moni77, my fingers are crossed - heck my whole body is crossed for you and your 3 eggs.

terri- I love your willpower. I don't know if I could wait until the 25th.

taurus - too bad about the festival. Hopefully your hubby is over the bug.

and to anyone I missed - hope the baby dust fairies grace you this month.

afm, I still don't have my surgery date but expect to get a call this week.

 

[KBrain3377]

Thanks terri - nice to have someone to test with. The 27th will be DPO 9 for me - last time I got a bfp on CD8-9 so I feel like it would show up. Plus I'm just not patient. I really doubt it will happen quickly though, if last time is anything to judge by. But in the meantime, I'll hang out here!

 

[KBrain3377]

Hi Taurus - We have a very similar timeline/circumstances, how cool. Congrats on your pregnancy, you must be over the moon! The age difference between your son and the new baby are what I am striving for - 2 years. Wishing you a great pregnancy. I'm curious how you're feeling the second time around - does it feel different? I can't wait to be pregnant again, which I can't believe I'm saying now - I was never one of those people, and even waited as long as possible to start trying for #1 partly due to the dread of being pregnant. I'm excited to watch you on this journey.

 

[moni77]

We don't discuss how many to put back until we show up for the transfer on Friday - it will depend on the quality of them...I was hoping to put in 2...now I am hoping to have 1!!

 

[terripeachy]

I'm here to spoil everyone's fun. I just read that implantation could still be happening now at 5DPT (days past transfer), so the hCg in my body-if there is any left from my trigger, isn't even going to show up until at least day 7pt. So...even if I did test today or tomorrow, it would show a BFN. My bestie's bday party is on Saturday (the 23rd), so I MAY just test then but I'm not drinking anyway, so I may not. hee hee. Decisions decisions. I have those stupid ICs that I hate, so I'm really not that eager to test anyway.

I have been talking to my embies a lot though. HA!!HA!! And they are sure eating well!

Oh and Moni-Be positive! You'll put back two. I know it!

 

[Taurus8484]

SomeDay – hate when they muck you around over a date. Hopefully you get it soon

KBrain – Thank you. It does feel a little different both physically and mentally. Physically I am no where near as sick as what I was with my son. From Week 6 to Week 16 with him daily vomiting and all day nausea and lots of sick days off work made me almost depressed. I really didn’t like pregnancy at all at that stage. I was really worried about getting pregnant again as I didn’t know how I was supposed to look after my son when I was like that. For whatever reason, and I’m very grateful, this pregnancy is nothing like him. Sure I have waves of nausea, but I haven’t vomited yet and I had a scan around 2 weeks ago and everything was good so guess I’m just lucky this time. Extremely lucky. Mentally – it’s going by so quick. I can’t believe I’m nearly 10 weeks already. Few more weeks and in the 2nd Tri. I think it’s because my son keeps me busy so the weeks just fly by. Fingers crossed number 2 for you doesn’t take as long. Do you temp or use opks??

Moni – not long now……….yay!!!!

Peachy – So is what you’re saying that temp dip can’t be an implant dip……….cause your chart looks awfully impressive

Hi everyone else

 

[terripeachy]

Morning Taurus! I'm not sure about the dip. I think it probably could be but it is just the BEGINNING of implantation. HA!!HA!! I'm just talking out of my @ss. hee hee. I have no idea. I just came across that article that said that implantation occurs from Days 1-5 after transfer. And it supports my not testing, therefore, it MUST be true!

Glad this pregnancy is much better than your last. It's totally a girl!

 

[Taurus8484]

What day did you have them implanted again??

Would love one of each..........but feeling another boy.

 

[terripeachy]

It was last Thursday afternoon...early friday for you. Ha! Are you definitely finding out the gender?

Bookwrmgal/Rainshiny-Are you team yellow?

I always say I'm team yellow, but I go back and forth. I'm nosy, so I kind of want to know, but I don't want to tell people because they are all so annoying about it. 'It's easier to plan, blah blah.' I don't care what my baby wears the first month. They're just going to poop and pee on it and they'll never wear it again. Or..if it's a girl, she can wear all the boy stuff while we're at home/poop on it, and then when we go out, she can wear the girl stuff. Problem solved.
