Can I join you ladies?

[Aiysh]

Haha nope it's the same for me too. Getting off this site kinda makes me stress less though I miss you ladies when I'm off. But now I work solely from home so I'm hoping to have a healthy balance XD

I keep seeing the test in the bathroom and wanting to use it. Its too hard to wait XD

ooh! dont know how you would do that! lol. Im the type of person who like to wait to test (although i fail miserably too) so i know how u feel!!

Well AF showed up today, on time, so I'll be calling the HSG place on Monday as they're closed all weekend. On to cycle #16.

I'm bummed that I most likely won't be able to start IUI until January as I think the holiday vacation will get in the way and the clinic will suggest January instead

will you happen to be near fertile time on vacation? it may not be the worst thing as ive read loads of women falling preg when away because theyre so relaxed and happy! hopefully that could be the case for you ??

Yes that's the problem as I'm assuming they'll want to induce O around the same time as I'd normally O We'll see what they say as I have to call them when I've had my HSG done to tell them the results, it's up to them if they think we can just reach it before they close

I actually tried the whole getting pregnant during a vacation this summer when we were in Russia and it didn't work We actually won't be away, it's the clinic that will be closed during the holidays, unfortunately

ohhh that sucks i hope the results come out good and you get to catch them on time. ive also just unsuccessfully tried the 'being away' thing so to heck with that idea! have they discussed it being in jan with you?

No not yet but as said if they're going to induce O around the same date I normally would O naturally in December, then it's going to be cutting it really close to when they close for Christmas. Our RE will probably first discuss it when I call them after having my HSG done.

kat079. I see. I hope you do get to this month but if not hopefully it flies by with being too busy or sth!

I hope so too but we'll see If not, I'm hoping December flies by faster than usual

Welp she came today. I'm just waiting for the nurse to call back to schedule my HSG most likely going to be monday though

ow sorry hun. At least you can get a move on with the hsg and be one of the lucky ones who gets a bfp magically after a hsg. I just called to find out my plan for a hycosy next month (that is if im not pregs this month but hey 14 months in & only bd'd twice im not holding amazing hopes haha). are you paying for it?

 

[KatO79]

Hi HCas, did you find out when you can get your HSG done? Hopefully you called them on CD1? The place I have to go to is apparently busy so they'll be able to first take me on the 25th which is CD11 for me It stinks as I was hoping they could take me Friday I called them CD3 since they're closed on weekends and I got AF Saturday. Think it's important to call ASAP.

 

[Aiysh]

just called today, think I can get my hycosy (like a hsg) on the 10th dec i hope...something like that. kinda can't wait to finally be taken seriously luckily i have work to distract me in the meantime..

 

[HCas]

@Aiysh Yep I'm paying, though my insurance does cover some of it.

@Kat at this point I'm just happy for any progress XD AF or + it just means one step closer. I did call on CD1 but the main nurse who schedules wasn't in so I'm calling back today, CD3, to figure out a day. We're hoping for Monday since Roger will be going in for his SA that day as well. At 45 minutes away the less trips the better. I'm just glad they could get you in. Maybe next month we'll be telling everyone good news for the holidays

Hope you find a better day with her than I did, FXed. Wow 45 minutes, we're lucky that our clinic is about 15-20 minutes away by car (probably about the same if you take the train).

One can hope I'd then have to get my BFP this cycle though as for my next cycle my 2WW will start around the beginning of the Christmas vacation. But I've already seen that there might be a problem with starting IUI in December due to the holiday vacation the clinic will be on (not 100% sure when they start vacation) but I'll be asking my RE after I get my HSG results. So I'm totally prepared for the fact that we may first be able to start IUI in January

 

[HCas]

Well they scheduled me for Friday. Not sure how I'm gonna get there though because Roger works that day and can't get off. And well then we'll just keep our fingers crossed for 2015 ^^

Oh you're lucky, I really wanted to get mine done Friday Would've been nice to get it over with and have more BDing days

Can't he drop you off? Or maybe someone you know could drive you. Don't know what public transportation is like by you.

Yeah, I'm mostly thinking I'll first see my BFP in 2015. The only positive thing is DH and I will hopefully have a fall/winter baby and that'll please DH as 95% of his family have birthdays between April and July and he'd like to avoid our baby being born during those months if possible

 

[HCas]

Haha well my best friend said he'd take me. Sadly there aren't too many buses from here to there and the one that does run down that far is in a bad part of town.

And I know that feeling. I'm trying to avoid September and May mostly. Five birthdays in May and another soon since my sister is due in May and 15 in September. Its crazy XD

Glad you found a ride I wouldn't take the bus in that case either

Wow ok not so many in each month as you, but still Off of the top of my head, there's 2 in April (1 more is my soon to be ex-SIL, divorcing DH's big brother so not counting her anymore), 3 in May (I'm one of them), 2 in June and 1 in July (DH). July is also a bad month here as so many in DH's family goes on summer vacation that month so we'd not have many come to our baby's birthday parties

 

[HCas]

Yea I understand that. My immediate extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) consists of over 100 people and very few birthdays are in winter or spring. And all of my cousins are having kids now as well which fills the months between March and September to the brim with birthdays. I tell my oldest niece all the time I like her birthday most because its in December and other than her and my best friend there are no other birthdays to worry about. lol
Not too many people will come to our baby's birthday either. But that's because of issues my family has. I'm sure if you did have a baby in July they would take a small break from vacation to come to the birthday ^^

Wow sounds like a big family Our family combined isn't so big. Isn't December a bit of a bad month in a way to be born? I've heard of people giving kids born that month 1 present and saying it's both their birthday and Christmas present.

The biggest problem would've been DHs big brother plus wife and their 2 kids as they always went on vacation in July and didn't care they almost always missed out on DH's birthday. But now they're divorcing so maybe that solves that problem? I can just imagine how I'll be if anyone in the family doesn't come to our child's birthday, especially the 1st one. I think the most problematic one will be my narcissistic mother who keeps trying to get me to not have a child and doesn't want to hear about DH and I starting IUI. Two of my relatives (my brother and his wife and daughter + my sister and husband and 2 kids) live in the USA so they of course won't come every year but still hoping they'll come to the christening.

 

[HCas]

I've never seen that problem myself. My niece and best friend love having their birthdays in December. They usually get a ton of things. I know last year from me alone my niece got four birthday gifts and five christmas gifts. Though I guess it all depends on how much money the family has. I know this year I can only do a single gift for both. Though one is something I'm making.

My in-laws (not including the ones we live with) all live out of state. So I don't expect them to come down for birthdays or anything, though if they do it will be nice. My family all lives pretty close the farthest being my uncle who is 3 hours away. But except for my sister and her kids, my parents, and two of my uncles, my family doesn't really care too much for me. I haven't talked to most of them since my niece was born 4 years ago.

Oh and did my HSG yesterday. It hurt when they put the catheter in and when the put the dye in but it didn't last long at all. They did need to stop at one point though because my doctor thought I looked pale, though I felt pretty fine. Now it's just waiting for results. Can't wait to hear what they found.

Good to know that not everyone does that. I think homemade gifts can be really nice.

Yeah if they live farther away then I wouldn't expect them to come either. I don't expect my family in the US to come to much other than maybe the christening. It's not fun to have a split family like that. I also have some relatives I don't talk to, like my aunt. Then there are some I'm on friednly terms with but don't talk to other than maybe 1 a year like my cousin's daughter (who has 2 kids). I have 1 cousin that nobody has contact with because his wife hates our family. It's very sad when families are like this

Ok I've also heard that there is some pain involved. Did you have any cramping or spotting? Don't they give you the results right away? Because I was told by my RE that I have to call her after my HSG so they can hear the results right away and not have to wait 1-2 weeks. Hope you get good results

 

[HCas]

I did have some cramping up to yesterday but the spotting only lasted maybe an hour or two. And I think the cramping only lasted longer because I started to come down with a cold. During the process I got really shakey and my RE thought I was going to faint so he said we'd discuss it later when I was feeling better. So tomorrow we go in for Roger's SA and I'm hoping we'll discuss it then. I also want to hear the results of all my blood work.
