Clomid & male factor infertility

[MySillyGirls]

wow...6-7k would be perfect!!

Well, I took an hpt just to see if the HCG is out of my system. It is.

 

[Mamamirfy]

So, it came up negative?.....now if we get (like how I said "we"?) a positive that means it's a real positive? You're a smart cookie, I never thought to check before it would actually show a real positive to test to see if the HCG is outta my system. Ahhh, we TTC ladies are crafty! PS I don't think I've ever said my name! I'm Miranda....

hi Girls,

ok so now i am really confused...i thought there was hcg in the progesterone shots/ cream? i dont know who told me or where i saw it but that's what ive thought all this time? i must be reeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly wrong....

 

[pink32]

by the way i wanted to add i feel like crap too! my bloating and tummy pains are driving me nutso! i'm currently sitting at work and i've had to undo the buttom of my pants....thats how bloated i am....people here must think i've put on a whole heap of weight...no one knows about icsi ....

 

[pink32]

where is everybody today?

 

[Mamamirfy]

I'm here! I think Silly is away for work, she mentioned having to fly today. I had to put the earrings on consignment, they would buy them right there. But i don't have to pay the full amount until 2 weeks prior so it should be OK. I think you're right about the progesterone.....isn't that Silly meant? That the HCG was out of her system from the progesterone? Or did I make that up in my head LOL. Maybe I'm wrong...wouln't be the first time Is your blood test on the 10th? I'm so excited....

God Bless the earings - they are ur ticket to IVF Cant wait till u start! ok so the progesterone thing - i'm confused? i dont know if it does have hcg in it or not? this stuff is so confusing - you need to know so much about everything...it's like becoming a nurse...

I'm scheduled for blood test on Monday 11th @ 7:20am..however i wont know the result till the afternoon (prob around 2 or 3Pm) but rest assured i will tell u guys right away...i am stressing out thinking about it.....have i mentioned how impatient i really am...i want to know, but scared to know too....a total nutter!

Hi, Miranda and Pink! My daughter loves the name Miranda, btw. She named her fish Miranda. LOL! I am Lesley.

So, I am back from NC. I didn't get in until late last night due to a mechanical problem on the plane and they had to find us a new one. Anyway, I have never gotten a positive from progesterone and I have had that for two cycles now (iui and then ivf). I was mainly worried about the hcg trigger still being in my system.

I took an hpt test this a.m. at 7dp3dt. BFN. It sure isn't looking good girls. I know it is early, but, I am trying to set my expectations here. I had three embies, only one of quality. I have a real feeling that this didn't work for me. I am not giving up, I just need to start moving forward with my thoughts. If only I thought another ivf cycle might work well for me...

How are you girls? Pink I don't know how you can stand it...MONDAY!! LOL

 

[Mamamirfy]

Aww....I'm a fish in Chicago

Ok, it's the HCG trigger, I knew it was something that could give a false positive...I was just way off. Oooopsy. 7dp is still super early BUT I get that you need to mentally prepare to soften the blow if in fact there is a a blow to be softened BUT I will be staying positive for you on my end, that's what I do.

Pinkster - I don't know how you're doing it either...you seem alot more calm than I would be. It's only 2 more sleeps for you.....I'm very impatient too....I think it's part of being a Taurus. I can not wait until Monday afternoon Sydney time!!

 

[pink32]

hey Guys,

this is why i cant bring myself to test....remember the lady i was telling u both about....she tested BFN and a few days later her bloods were BFP!!! i think it's way too early for an accurate result silly therefore i take your result with a grain of salt....toooooooooo early...you're getting urslef ready for an irrelevant result...

you have 3 embies in there silly! 3...therefore at least 1 of them will take - i just know it! the lady that had the twins - she put back 3 too, 2 were not so good quality and 1 was good and she got twins...as a matter of fact she said that all 3 took but there was something wrong with the 3rd sack....

then i've heard of ladies that said they put back an awesome blastie that didnt take and the not so good ones did...so i'm not feeling that positive either. Freaking out really

Mirfstar - i dont know how i havent tested either....lol...i am not doing well not testing, but i'm just a chicken.. i'm actually preoccupied because i dont feel well at all....its this bloating and cramps ive still got...i am so uncomfortable....Last nite i couldnt eat dinner or anything thats how awful i felt... i cant sleep on my back = hurts my tummy...cant sleep on my tummy = hurts my boobies....Cant win...

so it's sat morning here, got to be strong (not to test) get thru the weekend and get ready for monday...

 

[Mamamirfy]

The suspense is killing me. Normally by now I have huge sore bbs....they are a little bit sore but nothing like normal....ive been having cramps like I normally do...just waiting on my AF. It's been fluctuating between 26-28 days so it's hard to say when it will arrive. I just did all my shopping for Thanksgiving. I'm hosting this year, my parents and my bro, sis, their husband and wife and they each have two kids. So Sunday.......I will be cooking turkey and running back and forth to my computer to see what the results are! I can not wait, I feel as though I'll be finding out if I'm pregnant LOL. I know, I'm a dork.

 

[MySillyGirls]

You are too funny! when I read your post, my first thought was...wow, thanksgiving isn't until november...this woman is organized! Then, I remembered, Canada

Well, Miranda, this could be the month! Don't pay for that IVF yet! LOL!

 

[Mamamirfy]

Hahahaha. I have cousins that live in Seattle.....their Dad (my Uncle) is Canadian and their Mom is American....they lived in the states their whole lives but they used to come up here for our Thanksgiving and we would go down there for theirs. It was a beautiful thing....lotsa bird!

 

[pink32]

We dont have thanks giving in OZ! just x-mas!!!!

this well n truly may be ur month mirf - fx'd its all our month

 

[Mamamirfy]

I lived in Australia for a year so we celbrated Christmas....so strange being so hot on Christmas Day. My cousins and I insisted on coking a turkey to make ourselves not to homesick. What a mistake that was..HOT HOT HOT.

 

[pink32]

hahah...yeh we dont really have hot turkey for xmas...but in the cold its nice....i've only had 1 white christmas when we went to europe with my parents (17 at the time) and it was so beautiful...

We have seafood, and bbq and heaps of salads and deserts for x-mas! oh and lots of wine n spirits too....

 

[Mamamirfy]

I remember! All our roommates wanted to do a Seafood Feast....they gave in because we were 18 and away from home. Funny how things are so different. If Xmas was in the summer here, I'm sure we would want a Seafood dinner too I can't for the rum and eggnog this Xmas...or just the eggnog, depending. You find out in about 14 hours!!!!!!

 

[MySillyGirls]

Hey, girls! We had dd's little girl party this weekend and my dad and his significant other stayed with us. So, it has been busy!

I truly think I am OUT. BFN. Now, I can't help but thinking of trying one more time...can you believe it?? But, this time, I would stop prior to ER if I seem to be stimming poorly. AN"YWAY... I need to meet with the doc next week to discuss my options.

Pink, I can't wait to hear your results!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mamamirfy]

When are you meant to do your blood test Lesley? And....if you do it again and stop prior to ER, do you save money? How does it all work? You aren't out yet BUT I think it's worth another shot too...who knows maybe you'll be ICSI buddies with moi this time

 

[MySillyGirls]

Miranda, it would be GREAT to be ICSI buds. LOL! My OTD is Wednesday but I am 9dp3dt today and feel very af-ish...just like normal. Yep, you save lots if you stop before ER because that is the costliest part of the whole thing...the anesthesia, etc. I think my meds would still be covered so this would probably cost us around 8k. But, who knows...maybe there is a less expensive option!!!
