Nikki, I would request progesterone as well.

Taurus and Book, 1 more day until 2nd Tri! Yayy!!!

AFM, I am CD15. I am sure I have Oed, so now to just wait to see if AF comes.

 

[KBrain3377]

Taurus - great news. Now you can tell the world. Have you got anything planned?

Book - I guess they are always extra cautious with women over 35. I am happy that the scan revealed everything was okay.

Doxie - I am 9dpo today as well but not planning to test until next week. I still feel that I wasn't lucky this month as I was too tired to bed after I got my positive OPK.

Nikki, I would request progesterone as well.

Taurus and Book, 1 more day until 2nd Tri! Yayy!!!

AFM, I am CD15. I am sure I have Oed, so now to just wait to see if AF comes.

I second that Nikki - the progesterone is a big one, especially if you have a shorter LP. I think the AMH is a big factor when they consider you for IVF. Good luck , hope you have a great appointment.

Quiet in here over the last few days………..guess it’s the weekend and everyone is busy

Moni – you should have your scan soon???

KBrain – have you got another lot of betas coming??

Book – welcome to 2nd Tri……..

How is everyone else going in their cycles???

 

[GalvanBaby]

I have finished my last exam for my Associate's Degree!! I am super excited!! I am officially a paralegal!!

Hi everyone! I was out I town for a few days.

Taurus and book- nice to hear the scans and bloodworm went well!

Good luck to everyone in your cycles!

Doxie- I know the feeling--posting to this thread has seen a lot of good luck, so no worries about sharing, doll!

I just looked up my day 3 out of curiosity my fsh was high, amh was low (both not good) and TSH was 2.2. Antral follicle count between 6 and 10. I think diminished ovarian reserve kept the iui's from working tho, not the tsh. Idk. Nikki, shouldn't they test tsh too?

My sister had a girl! Healthy, 9 lbs. they emailed us about 14 hours after the birth the announcement and that everyone was doing well. They embargoed our posting on FB until they announced it 3 days later. I'm happy for her, but I think I will let them have their space. It's a good excuse, because I'm sure I'd be jealous to see her anyway. 😔

 

[Taurus8484]

Congratulations Galvan!!!

Rain - yes my bloodworms went well...........

 

[Nikki1979]

Hi everyone,
Galvan - congrats!!!

AF got me yesterday ( 3 days early) so tomorrow will go and get my blood test done for LH/FSH/oestradiol/AMH and FAI. I am also getting a pelvic ultrasound after AF ends to check my uterus and ovaries.

Rainy - my TSH is checked every 4-6 weeks. I have hypo and I think my TSH is currently 0.83. It has to be less than 2.5.
Rainy -

 

[kfs1]

Galvan - Congratulations!

Nikki - Sorry that the witch got you.

Rainshiny - Congrats on the new niece!

Nothing much going on here. Unmedicated cycle this month so I'm just waiting to O which I suspect will be earlier than usual. Urologist appt on Wednesday with my DH to discuss possible surgery. I had a few beverages on Saturday night (a few too many, actually) and I'm STILL so tired. I can't handle myself like I used to be able to but I guess that's a good thing. Keeps me from drinking too much all of the time.

 

[moni77]

Congrats Galvan!!

Yep - next scan is tomorrow...

 

[Doxie]

Keeping AF away!!!!

 

[KBrain3377]

Congrats Galvan! All that hard work paid off - must feel so good.

Doxie - I can't believe you haven't tested yet - you must have resolve of steel!

Taurus - My next appointment is not for another 10 days, when I will be 7 weeks and 2 days - and they will do an internal u/s to see a heartbeat. I don't think they will monitor betas any more, which is a bummer, b/c I like tests, and monitoring, and all that. When I was pregnant with my son we were seeing an RE so my level of monitoring was SO MUCH more intense. This time around since we got pregnant so quickly my obgyn is just giving me the regular ol treatment, which I gotta say is kind of a downer

 

[Doxie]

I haven't tested because I am terrified of BFN so I wanted to get to 14dpo at least. Plus, now my husband is out of town and we test together...so I have to wait for either AF or Thursday! I only have 1 HPT left and am kind of holding onto it. I am definitely anxious, don't get me wrong!!!!

 

[MommytoLBG]

Congrats Galvan!

Book and Taurus ~ 2nd tri now. YAY!

Nikki ~ sorry about the witch. she got me too.

Doxie ~ fx for you!

Moni ~ good luck on your scan tomorrow. So exciting!

Rain ~ congrats on your little niece! understandable though about giving them space (which helps you out emotionally).

KBrain ~ I like tests too...the more tests the better.

Hi kfs and everyone else!

afm...af arrived saturday...at least my cycle is back to almost a 28 day. arrived cd 27, but its SO heavy still. on to next month for me. Took this one hard because Friday would have been our gender scan. Baby would have been 21 weeks today.

 

[37andhopeful]

Hi!
Thank you for starting this thread. I'm Tracy, 37, and ttc#1. I'm still learning all the acronyms so please pardon any mistakes. I'm 7dpo and since my LP is short, I am nervous AF will show up any minute. I'm glad to read the other threads to not feel so alone.

 

[terripeachy]

Galvan-Huge congrats from the northeast! You did it. You're amazing!

Welcome 37!

Sorry Nikki that the witch got you, but the testing tomorrow will hopefully be ok and give you confidence to keep trying.

Doxie-Good job on waiting. Thursday it is.

Rain-Congrats on becoming an aunt. The wait will make it exciting.

kfs1-Looks like you are about to O. Woohoo..Hope all goes well on Wed. with your hubs' doctors appointment.

Kbrain-Yes, it sounds like OBGYN visits for pregnancy are a downer.

Sorry to everyone I missed. I enjoyed my weekend break away from BnB. hee hee. I did get all my schoolwork done though, so I accomplished something. Now I just have to try and catch up with everyone.

AFM (as for me), my insurance for my meds was giving me a TIME. They still don't know whether I'm out of money or not. STUPID! So...I had to pay for most of my meds out of pocket, and I will be sending in the reimbursement just in case they somehow find that I have some extra money in the "bank." I called my medical insurance, and I have plenty there for ultrasounds and such, so that's great, and I'm happy about that. Also, one of my meds has rebates, so I'll be sending that in too. I don't get new prescription insurance until January, so I'll be out of pocket until then. Kind of sucky, but hopefully once this baby arrives, I won't have to take a lot of meds. Who knows...whatever..It's so stupid. The worst part is that i'll have to cut back on my eating out with friends. I know, no biggie for most, but I LOVE eating out. Cooking too, but eating out with friends is much more fun. Maybe I'll have to start hosting potlucks or something. hee hee. UGH!! The menu tonight has my new favorite, cornbread with jalapeños and cheese, alongside chicken/bacon/ranch pasta. The cornbread will get me through the week. I also made hard boiled eggs and bought cereal for breakfast/snacks. This is my new life. Oh...BCP is done, and i have my first bloodwork and ultrasound tomorrow. Game on! I miss you guys.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Time to get this baby in the belly, Terri!! Praying this is your cycle!!

 

[kfs1]

Welcome 37.

I'm so sorry MommytoLBG. Here's hoping that October's your month!

 

[moni77]

So we have a HB at 6w1d.... all is looking good. Back next week - but I am to call my reg OB for an appointment!!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Spud- Good for you with your new healthy eating regiment!

Nikki- how was the GP appointment? Did you do your 3 day bloods?

Galvan- Congrats, Graduate!!

Rain- bloodworms lol! How are you doing with your paperwork and everything?

Kfs- good luck with the urologist appt. tomorrow

Doxie- Fx Fx that the witch stays away!

Kbrain – I’m on regular monitor too, despite being higher risk. I liked the more frequent monitoring I had with the RE because I felt more like they were paying attention and I wasn’t going to get lost in the shuffle if anything happened.

Mommy – I’m sorry AF came and that you are feeling down because of the scan. Silver lining that your cycles are closer to normal though. I know, small consolation.

37 – welcome! I had a shortish LP too. Are you taking anything to lengthen it?

Terri- That insurance run around sounds like a real headache. But that cornbread sounds amazing!

Moni – YAY! I am so happy for you!

AFM- I forgot to post the 12.5 wk scan so I will do it here. Little one has DH’s forehead I think. The other photo has more my mouth. No clue about the nose. Feeling good here, just tired. Lots of pokes and twinges and feeling bloated and pants are uncomfortable. I have an interview tomorrow so wish me luck please! My job ends in 6wks and I’m getting panicked.

Oh and I have been craving caramel apples but they have been impossible to find- at least plain ones without nuts or sprinkles. DH has been so sweet searching the state for them. I have no idea why no one seems to have them this year but I made do with grocery store caramel apples.

 

[Doxie]

Just a quick observation....this is my 4th cycle being off BCPs. Cycle 1, 26 days. Cycle 2, 27 days. Cycle 3 (super freaky), 18 days. I am on CD28 now which is putting AF as late....fwiw.
