CBFM Buddy

[DaisyQ]

I hope so! Anxious to ask the doc about it. Need to call over there and find out how many days to take the progesterone for, and if I will get AF on my own, or if I will have to stop the progesterone in order to get AF..

Creative! Our, sad, empty, lonely uteruses. They are weeping! That's what all that CM is!

!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mrs.B.]

You guys crack me up!

 

[jchic]

Mrs. B - How are you feeling????

 

[Mrs.B.]

I'm good thanks Jchic! Hubby keeps asking if I feel pregnant ... No just a little sicky and tired. Got just over 2 weeks until my first appointment! This part it dragging!

Hi everyone,
I missed you all this weekend. I was away for the weekend with no internet or phone access. I did take me CBFM with me-but still lows and no hint of the LH line. CD19 today... I called my family doctor today and asked to see him this week. This Thursday I will go in to ask for a referral to a specialist who can give me a full looking over and perhaps a diagnosis. I hope to have a plan of action within the next few cycles. Right now I am struggling with the thought of clomid and having multiples as I don't know what I'd do with more than twins! I think triplets might be pushing it for me

Creative and Daisy, this 2ww might just be your last... does that mean I am the only one left with no BFP? Urgh! Keep us posted with how you're feeling... it'll be exciting to walk this journey with you.

Mrs B, I can only imagine that AGONIZING wait! Just think how precious it will be to hear that heartbeat... Hang in there!

Jchic-I am following you so closely so that I can use your story as inspiration. I just know your BFP is going to be the result of all this!

Love, hopeful

Hopeful, thanks for the sweet words. We are all in the same boat! We've had a bunch of recent graduates, which gives us all hope our turn will be coming soon, but there are still a core group of us TTC'ers - you will not be left behind.

I think it's good you are going to get checked out - it will put your mind at ease. With long cycles, it's frustrating because it's very hard to predict your fertile time, and because with long cycles, you have fewer opportunities to get pregnant (you might ovulate 10 times a year instead of 12 or 13 for example). It would be good if there was something they could do to help, and I'm sure they can! One of my acupuncturists goals with me is to get me to O closer to CD 14, for example. Don't stress about clomid. I think the chances of twins with clomid are yes, higher than without clomid, but not THAT high, especially if you are not combining it with IUI and triggers. I am worried because I am combining it with IUI and a trigger, so if I've got 3-4 eggs, the chance for twins would be fairly high. YIKES. I hope I'll just have 2.... My doc assures me that the chance for twins is only 3%...

 

[hopefulhoney]

I will be praying for you Daisy... I sure hope this is it for you! In fact, I just have a good feeling about it! x

Hi ladies! First and FOREMOST - Happy Valentines Day! I hope your day is filled with lots of love, hugs, kisses and most importantly - CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Hopeful - hey there girl! I am glad you are getting checked out Daisy is right on. Sometimes with long cycles its frustrating, but remember that over 90% of women get prego in 2 years so the odds are in your favor my dear....and I mean DRASTICALLY in your favor! Dont stress about the Clomid. THe multiple thing is really more of an exception, not a rule. Actually Clomid and Femara both have less than a 3% chance of producing multiples, so really dont worry too much, ok? I am keeping a close eye on you and I am certain all of us on here join the graduating ttc class of 2012

Daisy and Creative - how are you girlies? How is the 2ww working out?

AFM - had my IUI yesterday! WOOHOO! He didnt need to use the trigger because I was actually ovulating that day! He took my blood and is going to call me this afternoon to confirm it, but thats what he saw on the u/s. Our "sperm wash" numbers were 180 million pre wash and 60 million post wash which he said were outstanding, so heres hoping!
Its weird because soooo much gunk falls out when you are done with the IUI but its all the CM that gets dislodged. its weird. Want to hear something funny? Well one of the assistants was doing her first IUI on me (RE was next to her) and DH and I were in the room and he all of a sudden goes "Well, Jessica has a very deep vagina and a small uterus so you have to really get the catheter in there"....I was DYING laughing. Thats doc. Thanks for that. THEN when she was done he says "Katie, you have to take the speculum out of Jessica. Not every patient goes home with a speculum". HAHAHAHA. He did an U/S immediately after and we saw the freaking sperm (which were globs of white on the screen) moving UP the fallopian tube!!! It was crazy. He said he really hopes some go into the other tube, because that is where the big egg is. Damn sperm need gps! ha!

FF put me at ovulation yesterday so looks like I am 1DPO today!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Damn sperm need gps! ha!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You see its not us that has the issue its the freaking sperm!! They are just like men....will not stop and ask for direction so they miss the boat (er egg). It sounds VERY promising for you sweetie!!! Welcome to the 2ww!!!!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY GIRLS!!!!

Both Daisy and I are getting watery cm...which is very odd for me during the 2ww...so girls that are prego, tell us, did you get this the month you fell prego???

 

[jchic]

Damn sperm need gps! ha!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You see its not us that has the issue its the freaking sperm!! They are just like men....will not stop and ask for direction so they miss the boat (er egg). It sounds VERY promising for you sweetie!!! Welcome to the 2ww!!!!

Hi All!!

Happy Valentines Day I think I'm out this month, which I expected because we messed up our timing, but I'm still bummed. AF hasn't showed, but I know shes on her way and I took a cheap test this AM and BFN. At this point, I just want her to show and to get started on another cycle. My husband is so great and so positive - when I explained to him about short cycles he just said "well that means we get more chances to try, right?".

Its been a really tough couple of weeks. My friends just don't get it - none of them had any trouble and they think I'm crazy for worrying. Its really isolating. I don't want to call anyone because they all think is the pregnancy announcing call and then I have to tell them its not, and they tell me not to worry, and I can't actually explain anything I'm feeling. An acquaintance who got married the same day I did told me that she is 22 weeks pregnant, and that they got pregnant the first time around. I burst out into tears (we were talking over IM on the computer) and then just got pissed when I got the email hours later about planning her baby shower. My client at work is due on 2/22 and is big as a house, her baby shower is today and it was excruciating to buy her gift and card. I was at the grocery store buying her card this morning and just crying, I looked like a weepy girl about Valentines Day.

Next steps are SA for my husband and HSG for me, I'm glad to be doing something and to have more information, but I feel like its actually acknowledging that something is wrong,which is scary.

Sorry to be a debbie downer, I just needed to get all of that out!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Aww, smythdm, you are having a rough time. We all understand, and feel free to vent anytime, that's what we are all here for. There may not be a problem, it just may not have happened yet, but getting checked out can't hurt, and the HSG can only help your chances. Plus, if they do find a problem, you'll be one step closer to fixing it rather than spinning your wheels in uncertainty. it will be ok. It will.

Jchic, thanks for sharing about your iui. So funny! Awesome that he could tell you were ovulating that day! And so cool he could see the sperm going up there. Sounds like perfect timing. And dh has so many sperm! That's awesome!! I am sure at least a few million will find their way to the other tube.

Thanks - I REALLY REALLY needed that

 

[jchic]

Smythdm - awww honey I am sorry you are feeling that way today. Getting checked out never hurts. Like Daisy says - it could just be that it hasnt happened yet. Keep your chin up and remember that sooner rather than later it will be YOUR baby shower invite that is going out xx Have faith

Thanks, I know, I know - its just frustrating that its so so easy for everyone else, they actually plan to get pregnant in, say, March, b/c they are teachers and thats the way to max out their leave, and BOOM it happens. I hate being so jealous!!

 

[jchic]

I know. Believe me I know what it feels like! At the end of the day though, its natural to feel that way, but remember that when you produce happiness, you will feel it, so DO NOT stress!

 

[jchic]

ladies! This thread is too quiet today for my taste! How are you all? How was your Valentines Day? I hope great!
Today is DH's birthday so we are going to a Knicks game with his brother and one of his friends. Should be fun! Then Saturday we are going to a restaurant called the House in NY. YUM! Cant wait
How is everyone feeling in the 2ww? Mine is totally uneventful thus far! I dont think we BD'D enough! We were going to yesterday but I fell asleep. Talk about unromantic, ha!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

I know it is super quiet in here today!! My Valentine's Day was pretty uneventful...just a regular day. We did however go look at a storage unit and are probably renting it (just need to call and ask a few questions) so will be starting to declutter our house and get it ready before we call a realtor. Excited things are starting to happen!!!
