Wish!!! I am so happy to see you! How are you?

 

[Wish4another1]

I am good Bookwrm!! 5 DPO and hanging out - first cycle of clomid!!

Hoping this is our miracle cycle!! Getting ready to head on vacation with hubby to Canada (Newfoundland) he is turning 40 and his present was this awesome hunting trip

how is hubby taking the girl news??

 

[terripeachy]

Bookwrmgal-I'm about to start crying. Amelia Violet is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it. Why are you disappointed?? I think you're still having depression. What did the doctor say about that? My coworker's friends just had a baby and they named her Josephine Violet. Beautiful girly names..love it!

Moni-When do you finish progesterone? 10 weeks?

My doctor did my u/s this morning and he's not the most pleasant in the mornings. He said that he thought I was really fun (I am, was my response!), and then he said 'I'm just going to do a quick check, not look at all your follies.' I was like 'ok.' So, he went really fast, and I couldn't see how big they were, but I think he clicked about 7 times. From my brief glance at the screen, it looked like they were about 10mm, but I'm really not sure. My lining is thickening (it was t 5.1). They will call me this afternoon regarding my meds.

 

[GalvanBaby]

Hi Ladies!!

Book: A girl is awesome!!! They are so much fun!!! COngratulations!!! I secretly want a girl, but I would love either one! LOL

Moni, great HB!!!!

Taurus, How are you?

Rain, so what else do you have to do for the adoption?

Terri, I disappear for a few days, and come back to see you are in the middle of stims! Fxed this is your cycle!!

AFM, I am CD26. My cycles are usually 25 days max unless pregnant, so AF should be here today unless I Oed late. I was going to go for betas if no AF this Monday, but decided to wait until next Monday. Then I will know I am definitely late. I have the here and there AF cramp, and last night the tops of my knees were hurting (that sometimes happens right before a bad AF) so I expect her sometime today.

 

[Fezzle]

Ooh- terri, excited you're at this point again! Good luck!

Bookwrm- congrats on the girl! And a lovely name too!

Moni- glad things are going well and with a good HB!

It looks like we might be getting some extra help after all- but help that we pay for! We're going to a private consultant; I have an appointment on 4 Oct (OH doesn't need to come since his sperm is fine). It's actually pretty affordable so I wish we looked into it sooner!

I also had to get my blood tests to bring to the consultancy appointment so have finally seen my actual numbers. The bad news is that even though everything was considered in the normal range, my LH still looks high. But the good news is my FSH was 6.3- they'll do a AFC at the appointment and I think an AMH test too, so hopefully it all means there are some good eggs in there once I can get them them to pop out!

 

[Bookwrmgal]

Wish - FX that the Clomid is lucky!

Terri - you Dr story made me giggle. Is 10cm good for this stage in your
cycle? I hope the news is fantastic this afternoon. Josephine Violet is a
gorgeous name. I had a great great great aunt Josephine that was such
a lovely lady. I like old fashioned non-fussy names. and no, it's not the depression that is fueling my reaction (talking to the Dr about that next week). It's more of a fear that I have such a bad relationship my with Mother since infancy that it will carry on to my little girl.

Galvan - If AF does come, I hope you isn't a bad one.

Fezzle - I am really glad you are getting help for a reasonable cost (even though free would be better). Is the LH easily treatable?

 

[kfs1]

Moni - Congrats on the heartbeat. Glad to hear things are progressing well!

Bookworm - LOOOVE the name. I'm sorry that you're not feeling 100% but remember: you are NOT your mother. Your relationship with your daughter will be loads better because you're a great person and you're going to be a great mom!

Fezzle - Sounds like you have a good plan in place. I'm sorry that you have to pay for it though.

Galvan - I hope AF stays away for you!

Terri - Can't WAIT, can't WAIT, can't WAIT for your ER.

Twinnie - hellllooo!

Nothing to report.

 

[KBrain3377]

Hi ladies -

I've been reading and keeping up with all of you - and I have to say I have a really good feeling about October!

Terri - so excited about your cycle, can't wait to hear that you got your wish!

kfs - Wishing you luck this cycle, and stalking your temps. So far they look good, don't you think?

Wish - good luck with the Chlomid, this could be it!

Book -a girl! And what a lovely name, really. You know when I found out I was having my DS, I was also really bummed (I hate admitting that) - in fact, I cried. Hard. Well fast forward 2 years, and I can't imagine my DS being anything other than a boy. I actually wanted a girl b/c I'm kind of girlie, not that into sports, and really had no idea what the heck I would do with a boy... still figuring it all out, but just want to say that it's very normal to feel like you're feeling and I guarantee you will look back in this and laugh.

Taurus - hope you're feeling better soon. MS has hit me like a ton of bricks, and the worst part is that it comes and goes with no warning. All kinds of foods I love are turning me off. On top of that I now have a cold which I got from my DS, oh well.

Galvan - excited for you, FX!!!!

Moni - glad to hear you're doing well - did your doc tell you to back off on the progest? I'm asking b/c with DS I had to take it all the way up to 12th week, and probably this time around I'll end up doing that too.

Hi everyone else that I missed -there is so much to catch up on!!!

Fezzle - glad you're getting some help. What is a consultant, is that the same as a specialist?

Hi Wish -hoping this is your lucky cycle!

 

[terripeachy]

Ooh such good updates from everyone.

Bookwrmgal-I agree with kfs1. I think you will love having a girl because you can be the mom that yours wasn't. It's going to be awesome. Chin up, babe.

Galvan-Woohoo...and we wait..I hope this time you really are prego! Yup, I'm 6 days into stims so we're coming up on the home stretch.

fezzle-that's great that you found a consultant to help you. Maybe you just need some more medicine to get your LH down when it's supposed to be down. Looking forward to next week when you have your appointment.

I checked my messages and my Estrogen has reached 476. That means that I'm to keep my meds the same for the next few nights and go back on Friday morning. I am also to start taking my Ganirelix on Friday morning. Last time I had 4 days of Ganirelix, so that would put me at taking my last one on the 29th and maybe retrieval on the 30th. Hmmm...that works out well.

:wave: to everyone else. Gotta run!

 

[moni77]

I am tapering off the progesterone - down to 1/2 cc this week - I am guessing that he will stop me next week, since it is my last appointment with him,but I am not sure.

Book - congrats on the girl - what a beautiful name!! By the time she gets here you will be so excited and have forgotten all about any initial reaction!

Hi to everyone else!!!

 

[Spudtastic]

Hi everyone.

Book - I have a girl and she's amazing. You'll be a great mum to a girl also I like your thoughts on imperfect timing lol. So true people get pregnant from bd just once lol.

Wish - I'm also 5 dpo today. When are you going to test? Good luck. Lots of baby dust your way.

Terri - your story with the doctor also made me laugh. You sound like a very fun person on this forum too. Go follies go

Galvan - I really hope that witch stays away. I'm keepi g my fingers crossed for you.

Kbrain - I hope that morning sickness goes soon.

Nikki - good luck with the ultrasound.

Moni - is that a high heartbeat? I've heard an old wives tale that a faster heartbeat could be a girl. I wonder....

Hi fezzle

Afm - I'm having a little rant about dh. I wish he would pick up after himself...really grrrrrrr. If we get no. 2 I'll be picking up after three people.

Also 5 dpo. I've had a dull hum/ache in my tummy since o so I'm really feeling hopefull.

 

[Taurus8484]

Book – yay for little girl……..have to admit that I am hoping this one is a girl also as I would love a little girl, and you wouldn’t believe this but Amelia is 1 of 3 girls name we have picked out too. But I will take another baby boy if thats what life has in store for me.......as long as in 26 weeks time I have a healthy baby, thats all the matters....

Wish – hi………..it’s been awhile, hope all is good??

Galvan – Fingers crossed AF doesn’t come……..

Peachy – Yay for follies……….grow grow grow

Fezzle – it’s also been awhile since I have seen you around……….sounds like you’re getting some good help…..4th October isn’t that far away

KBrain – my nausea I think is letting up a bit….still can’t eat red meat or hot veggies or anything like that, but I would say it’s getting better. Hang in there, ms sucks….

Hi Spud, Moni, Nikki and everyone else...

Afm - not much going on......now that Book knows what she is having, I'm reconsidering my Team Yellow..........I want to know........NOW!!! lol

 

[terripeachy]

Morning Taurus-I agree..you need to just go on and find out what you're having! hee hee. No pressure from me, because I'm team yellow all the way. Not sure what my hubs is. I guess I can ask him when he gets home. Glad your ms is almost gone away.

Spud-Thanks. I try to be fun. I make fun of grouchy people so I certainly can't become a hypocrite! 5DPO. Not long now...are you testing at 8 or 9? Sorry your hubs is being a dolt. Mine is sometimes obsessive about cleanliness, and then I have to mess stuff up just to get his goat. HA!!HA!! The other day I didn't make the bed, and when I went to bed that night, he made it right before we were about to get in it. REALLY??

Ok it's dinner time here. Hi to everyone! More from me tomorrow. I should have a pretty easy day because I'll be sitting around waiting for my turn to buy my baseball tickets! &

 

[Spudtastic]

Terri - awesome. Made me laugh about your husband as he's the exact opposite of mine lol and probably just as frustrating. I had a laundry stand off in the summer. I told him I was only going to do his laundry if he put it in the laundry basket. I told him if I picked it up from the floor around the house then I'd be doing the same for our daughter. He wasn't being a good role model. I pick up his dirty clothes from the bathroom, the hallway, from right beside the laundry basket and from the bedroom floor and from his gym bag. So he refused to put his clothes in the laundry bin. I left them for ages laying around the house. He piled them up in the hallway to make a point. After two weeks he even did his own clothes. Then my parents came to stay from england and I had to do the laundry to tidy and now 10 months later I still pick dirty clothes up from around the house.

Well I think my grumpiness is pre menstrual and I'm starting to feel like af is going to come next week. I get crampy quite a while beforehand. Feel like I did last month.

 

[Spudtastic]

Anyone else have a glass of wine on the tww??

 

[Spudtastic]

I had a glass and now I just feel guilty. I didn't enjoy it.

 

[Taurus8484]

Spud......I had a drink or two of Jack Daniels every night after work....even with this pregnancy.

Obviously stopped once a found out I was pregnant.....its fine, don't feel guilty.

 

[Nikki1979]

Bookwrmgal - congrats on team pink. Amelia is such a beautiful name.

Terri - I can feel that this cycle is your cycle. Lots and lots of

AFM - got my results today. Not too happy with them. The GP said that its normal but from google, I feel that they are not.
FSH - 9.3 (normal 2.8- 9.3) so I am at the end of normal
LH - 4.8 ( normal 2.8 - 7.6)
oestradiol 115 ( normal 46-607)
AMH 16.2 (normal 14 - 30)
When I had a scan at the hospital a few months ago, they said I had adenomyosis and now the scan shows the appearance of the uterus not sufficient to make a diagnosis of adenomyosis and that uterus appears normal. Ovaries have 10 follicles 8mm each.
I am just worried about my FSH being at the limit of normal. Lets see what the Fertility specialist says.

 

[terripeachy]

Taurus-Look at you, Mrs. Jack Daniels! Love it. That's why we're twins. hee hee.

Nikki-Your numbers don't look that bad to me. See what the specialist says, definitely, but I don't think you have a big cause for concern. And I'm not saying that to make you feel better.

Spud-Yes, I drank during the TWW. You have to do what makes you feel comfortable, though. A lot of people say 'drink 'til it's pink.' I wouldn't go overboard, but a glass of wine isn't going to hurt you or the baby. I always want to relish my last glass of wine instead of not knowing that I may not be having another for 9 months, so that's my justification.

 

[GalvanBaby]

My FSH was 7.8 almost 3 years ago, the FS wasn't worried about it being so close to normal. They usually say normal is normal even if it close to the limit. I am not sure what he will want to do about yours being right at the limit, but hopefully they will do something. That might be why you haven't gotten pregnant. Stimming meds cane help when FSH is high. A friend of mine had her FSH at 16.something, and got pregnant the 1st cycle using Gonal F. Good luck, Nikki!

AFM, no AF yet, but cramps here and there. I found a test last night while looking for my thermometer. I said I was going to test last night, but didn't. I chickened out. My temp was 97.8 which is high for me, my regular temp is usually 97.0-97.4 preO and postO 97.6-98.1, and my a/c was on 64 blowing directly on me, no cover, and mouth half way open, so I think it would have been higher had all that not have been involved. LOL. I am going to wait until Saturday to test, it is only 2 more days. It makes it easier waiting because I know a + HPT doesn't necessarily mean I am pregnant, it could be the "tumor." I will need doubling betas to confirm a pregnancy and an u/s.
