FXd for no AF!


AFM, I got my OPKs in the mail today

 

[ProfWife]

Let the test-fest begin!!

 

[LillyTame]

Ugh, sorry about the temp drop ProfWife We can still keep our FXd until AF actually shows up...I've now seen 2 big drops and then BFPs the next day!

 

[ProfWife]

We'll see. I'm not overly stressed about it.

I popped off an email to another specialist in my area about 20 minutes away to get information about if they think they can help.

The DOCTOR himself called me first thing this morning to get more information. He thinks he could help but would like to sit down with me and look at my records. I'm going to check with my insurance to make sure they'll cover a consult with him and any testing/treatment for medical conditions except for the infertility (IVF/IUI). I still have my appointment with my current doc, but I reviewed her information - she's an ob/gyn who isn't listed as a "specialist" with infertility on the practice's own site. There are two doctors who are actually listed as infertility specialists. This other doctor is a reproductive endocrinologist. Since I'm still a little concerned that my main issue is hormonally sourced, I'd like him to take another look and perhaps re-order some of the tests.

I at least feel like I'm doing something...

 

[LillyTame]

Oh that's awesome A quick and personal response! That's rare these days

 

[Akayj]

I agree with lilly cant find good help now days... he sounds like hes a keeper haha!

 

[ProfWife]

Welp...AF showed her ugly face today. Onto July! (Should be o-ing smack dab in the middle of our trip. Hope there's more than the 4th of July to be a cause for fireworks ;-) )

 

[LillyTame]

crud, I was really hoping she wouldn't show her ugly mug

Did you check on your insurance coverage yet for the specialist?

 

[ProfWife]

They cover everything except infertility treatments (IVF/IUI/injectables). They'll cover consultations, diagnostic tests and any treatment for underlying causes of infertility.

I have an appointment with my current ob/gyn on Tuesday. I'll decide after that appointment whether or not I'm calling the endocrinologist for a second opinion of treatment necessity.

 

[LillyTame]

Ok, good

 

[LillyTame]

Well, I had my pelvic u/s and everything looks fine! "Normal pelvic ultrasound" I think my ovaries are a little small...compared to the numbers I was able to google

The u/s report does note that there were "small follicles on the right" So I'm excited! Ready to get next week started because I think I will OV at the end of the week (as long as things don't run late like they did the last cycle). This week we've been doing BD every 3 days...starting Monday we'll start the every other day till I get a positive on my OPK, then the 3 days in a row

Lots like it's going to be all about getting enough in there at the right time.

 

[ProfWife]

Sounds like a good plan. I wouldn't worry about your ovaries appearing small considering how small the egg actually is. I always thought that the ovaries were pretty large, but once I found out how big they were supposed to be I realized mine actually are larger/swollen at some points due to the multiple cysts (which is a bad thing).

I just feel positive for both of us this month. Get down to work lady! ;-)

 

[Wytrease]

Well ladies I'm back Today is cd 2 which means I will be ovulating while in vegas. I hope all is well with you all.

 

[Lionchild]

I hope you hit the conception jackpot in Vegas, Wytrease!! GL!!

I'm NTNP at the moment, so I'll be checking in on this thread (hoping to see some BFPs), but I'm not being as active as I previously was. I'll likely be back to SMEPing in September.

Lots of to you all!!!

 

[LillyTame]

Have fun in Vegas Wytrease!

We are going so hardcore this cycle (not missing a thing or day of the plan), I think if we don't get our BFP we are going to go NTNP till AUG/SEP and what I mean by NTNP is really just BD close to when I think I'm ovulating, no temping. We'll see

Hopefully you won't make it to August and all your hard temping and BDing work pays off!!

 

[ProfWife]

Wytrease: Have fun in Vegas! (What happens in Vegas will hopefully show up on a pregnancy test!! )


LionChild - Praying you won't make it until September to start SMEPing again!!


LillyTame - Keep it up, girl. Trying to decide whether or not to order OPKs. Given that we'll be with the in-laws, part of me wants to since I probably won't be as attentive as I normally am. (Plus the hour difference could alter BBT.)

 

[LillyTame]

You know we visited Cali and Oregon...from Hawaii in March (think change in weather)...so it was a 2 hrs difference...AND I slept like crap AND I used a new thermometer because I had left mine at home....I had a couple funky temps but for the most part it actually didn't change my BBT that much.

 

[ProfWife]

We've been there I think once since I've been temping and it didn't throw it off too much. Being there the few "green" days, I want to make certain if we're in or out of the window.

 

[LillyTame]

Haha...the green days! I was JUST looking at my chart and my green days start this week, I'm getting excited! Lol Finally time to play catch the egg!
