Can I join you ladies?

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.

Ok thanks, it's good to know what others have experienced so I know what to expect. Did they tell you when you could BD afterwards? Because I expect to O 2 days after my HSG so my BDing opportunites are going to be really limited if this cycle isn't going to totally go to waste. Especially now when the extra Vit C seems to be helping me make EWCM

Hope you and your DH's results are good and that your almost fainting episode doesn't mean anything bad

 

[HCas]

They said to not put anything up there for the rest of the weekend but that's it. I hope they give you the go ahead for yours. I would ask before the end.

And thanks ^^ I faint pretty easily so it's most likely nothing. I think I just had low blood sugar or something ^^

Ok I hope that I'm good to go on at least CD12, eventually late night CD12 if need be. I think early morning CD13 might be too late as I seem to O in the afternoon/evening. But if I don't BD at the latest around morning CD13, then it'll be too late I think.

Lets hope that's all it was Looking forward to hearing about your results and hoping it all looks good

 

[HCas]

I'm excited to know them too. It'd be nice for something to go right heh. I would love to be able to say I O this day and by this day its too late, but I never know. When I did OPK I'd get 15 positives in a single month and my cycles often last from 2-4 months at a time.

 

[KatO79]

So what were your results HCas? Hoping they were good

I'm a bit nervous about my HSG, even had a nightmare about it last night. Strange, I know I'll update when I have gotten it done.

 

[HCas]

Didn't get them today Doc was out of town for the holidays so only the lab specialist was there for Roger. But I did see one of the papers and from what I can tell (didn't understand most of it) it looks pretty good.... I think XD

How did it go for you? I know it's really easy to work yourself up. Hope everything went well.

Aww too bad HCas, when will your GP be back? I hope you're right and they're good results Let me know when you get them

Just got back from my HSG and it went pretty well. Not much pain and only some slight spotting now. The lady doctor was very nice and pretty talkative Both of my tubes are clear She said we were welcome to start BDing tonight if we're up for it and since there were no problems, that our chances of getting a BFP are higher now

The only bad news is that our clinic can't start our 1st IUI until after New Years as it'll be cutting it way to close to Christmas But my RE said that there's a good chance now I could get pregnant naturally now that my tubes have been cleaned out so we can hope. Her advice was to get busy the next couple of days So unless AF comes here early, I should first call again when/if the AF after it shows up which will be after New Years.

 

[HCas]

That's great news! Hope you two have a sticky bean and won't need to go back ^^ I know me and DH will be trying still even without results. And don't worry as soon as I hear anything I'll be updating you ^^ It's really awesome having someone who is going through everything with me.

Thanks HCas Our RE is hoping the same thing as well but she's otherwise ready to help if it doesn't happen

I would also keep trying if I was you, even without those results. We can hope Looking forward to hearing those results and yes, it's great to have someone to share infertility experiences with

 

[HCas]

So now we're both playing the waiting game What have you been doing to pass the time? Anything fun?

Not much other than making some earrings for myself - my new hobby I find it hard to pass the time since I'm a housewife and there's only so much cleaning you can do when there are no children yet

I think I may have O'ed 1 day early this cycle though Was using OPKs to keep track because of my HSG and started using them CD11 (normally O CD13 which is today). It was very close to being positive yesterday (CD12) and on CD11 (CD11 and CD12 test lines are as dark as each other) but negative today (CD13) so I think I missed my surge and Oed sometime yesterday Had my HSG on the morning of CD11 (around 11 AM).

Don't know if that means the egg is ok or not or if we got enough BDing in there We BDed CD11 and CD12, both at night. I was unsure if I'd Oed already before we BDed last night but figured it couldn't hurt to try and went ahead with the BDing.

But for some reason I'm not very hopeful for this cycle now

 

[HCas]

Well I know I was told the egg can last up to 24 hours in the right setting. And sometimes if the first egg isn't fertilized in time the body will release another. So don't give up hope quite yet!

I can't use OPks cause I'll get 20 pos in a cycle so now we just kinda guess and hope we hit the mark. Once our results come back and all our RE is going to monitor everything and let us know when we'll o so it'll bee nice to actually know instead of this guessing game.

I thought the egg only lasted 12 hours. But I haven't given up entirely, just not feeling too positive about our chances this time

I think they say that if you BD every 2nd-3rd day from after AF until your next AF, then you should hit a few of your fertile days. So maybe you could try that until then But will your RE just be monitoring or will you be starting IUI?

 

[HCas]

I'll be started Clomid or something along those lines unless there was something wrong with my tubes or womb. My main issue is the PCOS effecting me ovulating so they'll be focusing on just getting me to o. If that doesn't help any they may move on to other things. However my insurance doesn't cover IUI or IVF so I'm hoping the meds help.

Good luck HC.

My head is spinning. My sister just told me she is thinking of adopting her baby out to me. She is 13 weeks along and had a 5 month old and 4 year old. I don't know how to feel or what to say. And my head is just spinning like crazy. And me and DH were going to BD tonight now I'm too anxious to think of that.

 

[deafgal01]

HC- just do the deed with your man. Sleep on it. Talk about your sister's baby later. Wow. That was a bomb she dropped on you.

Ok I needed an hour to think about this one because just wow

Has your sister been considering adopting her baby out for a while (maybe even from the get go) or is it something she suddenly decided was a good idea while baking cookies (if you get my meaning)? What about the father, is he on board with the idea because otherwise he could make trouble later, right? Also, would you and Roger be interested in adoption and perhaps end up with 2 kids when you hopefully will get your BFP soon?

I'd think seriously about all this, especially if it's some kind of spur of the moment idea on her part. If I understand the adoption process correctly, she has a time frame to regret her decision, yes? How would that affect your relationship if she did and wanted the baby back? Or if she regrets during her pregnancy already? One thing is to adopt from a stranger and they want their baby back. There would be some hard feelings, yes, but you'd most likely never see the person again. With your sister, it'd be another story.

Talk about this with Roger and see if any of you have any other concerns about this, then try and discuss all this with your sister and if it's not something she's thought through, then maybe she should take time to think about if this is what she really wants while you and Roger can have more time to consider what your answer will be if she still wants to go ahead with adopting her baby to you.

 

[HCas]

To be honest this isn't the first time. My sister is a single mother of two already. She doesn't know the father of any of the children, (yes she is one of those people all us ladies trying so hard hate) I even had temp custody of my niece once.

She's 13 weeks along and when she found out she freaked out about how she couldn't take care of another child and how she just couldn't be a mom again. I offered then. I also offered when she was pregnant and saying the same thing about my nephew. However nothing turned up on that. But she wrote me yesterday saying she had been thinking of this for awhile and felt that this is the reason she got pregnant at one of the worst times in her life. Me and Roger already discussed it somewhat. His response was "Well I was planning for triplets anyways." Which made me laugh a bit.

Today she said for sure though this is what she wants to do. I'm going to tread carefully and still discuss everything through with her and Roger but it looks like we'll be adopting next May.
