[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[lamago]

My doctor gave me clomid because I insisted but she says it usually only works with IUI. I have had Progesterone on day 21 of 9.4,7.4, and 4.5. At first she said 9.4 is great, then I complained about reading 10 was preferred and she said anything over 5 is good that I am ovulating, then I got a 4.5 and she said anything over 3 is good you are ovulating. Want to refer me to RE but there are none in my network and I'd have to pay for it. She perscribed me clomid 100 mg for next cycle but said I should really go to RE.

 

[txbiscuit]

Wow, she sounds awful. Are there any other OB/GYNs in your network that you could go to for a second opinion? Or could you call an RE and see if they're willing to work with your insurance so you could be at least partially reimbursed? I once had to see an out-of-network doctor, and they gave me a special rate for self-pay while they negotiated with my insurance.

 

[lamago]

thats good advice txbiscuit. I emailed by primary care physician to see if could change OBGYN and she said I had to explain why. It was after the first month so I thought ok, I'll give it a try but now I think I have to go back. My insurance covers 50% RE but I might need to change to another Health Group. It's all kinda complicated and I dont get the opportunity to call from work because we are in cubicles and Id rather people not hear.

I just dont know if I should just take the clomid or wait to go to another obgyn first...?

 

[Twag]

Wow your Dr sounds bad!! I hope you manage to work something out

 

[Snackimals]

Buenos Dias Señoritas!!!!!!!
What's there to talk about in the wondrous world of TTC?

Twag, you GOTTA put up some pictures of your home decor as you progress with the new home! Which room is the 'baby suite'??!!

I have to go read up on everyones journals I suppose, before I ask anymore questions. And on that note, thank you all for being so wonderful to share with, and read about! I love that we talk about the most random things, and go beyond TTC... cuz God knows it would drive me nuts if thats all we talked about!

Hola Snack!

How are you this morning?

I'm trying not to be as gloomy as I was yesterday, but BFN this morning (10dpo) and I'm starting to get crampy. AF due Sunday.

Other than that...today's a gym day...yay! (sarcasm lol) And tomorrow is the concert, that should be more fun that worrying about TTC BUT I'm going with a friend who is also TTC so it will probably be talked about lol. We are at different points in our journeys only because she is a few years older and has a history of polyps....so she is a lot closer to clomid than I am and has had a HSG. I think it's nice to have someone IRL to talk to about this stuff too

 

[Snackimals]

Dude. I have to confess, I totally spilled the beans to my nail lady today. It was such a RELIEF to tell a 'real life' person about all this crazyness! She seems chill enough, and we actually have nothing in common, which is perfect... cuz I hate chicks trying really hard to relate. (that sounds way more intense than what was intended, btw).

She was like 'You know what, I never really tried ... But, I def am happy with the size of my family. But, everyone I ever met that was just like obsessive about TTC and just lived in that state of mind... They never got pregnant while they were trying.' SHe said her last friend to have been trying was trying for 5 years. Finally she just said 'I guess its not for me'... and she said she had twins last year. That she got pregnant two months after she stopped TTC.

I of course am sharing because I am really stuck on possibly still cancelling charting for next cycle... Im very pensive about it right now...

 

[txbiscuit]

I agree - it's great to talk about TTC with people in real life. Since I work/associate with a bunch of computer nerds (think super into research, planning, and "mapping systems") they all tend to plan TTC as much as they possibly can. I really respect people who just "go with the flow," though. In a way, I think having a little experience with both sides of the coin prepares you well for being a parent. There are some things you can plan, but some things that are just completely out of your control.

It is technically already the weekend for me, because I took the afternoon off after my doctor's appointment. I got my hair did (I'll update my profile pic). She was supposed to do "beachy waves" but she just ended up curling my hair (which is what happens no matter what I ask them to do).

 

[Twag]

I promise ladies that as soon as I have internet access at home again I will take some pictures of my house and post them
Baby room will be bedroom 4 which is the little room next to the main bedroom it will be all white not clinical but like a fresh little cloud

CD4 for me nothing to report seems to be on her way out which is good
It is good to have IRL people to talk TTC too I think we have a couple friends who are trying too and it is now competition time lol

I agree with the people being able to go with the flow IF we were younger and didn't want 2 children etc then we would but we don't plus we are kinda control freaks so need to plan etc I have been temping for so long now that I think I will miss it when I am preggo

Hope you all had good weekends?

 

[Snackimals]

Weekend was busy... which is prob the usual. No dancing this time though, so that was a nice break.

Cant wait to see the house Twag! Like, seriously. Between Texas' baby announcements and your home updates, I don't even need to try to live my own life. Big PAUSE. Heehehee.

Ok, so I'm gunna blow your minds right now: I am not temping of POAS next cycle! My man has agreed to take my temp in the mornings, with out me knowing what it is, and logging it in FF, but otherwise... the cycle will me a'la NTNP I guess. I just need to give myself a break. I must.

Your thoughts?

 

[LillyTame]

Hmmm...that's interesting Snack. Can't wait to see how that works!

 

[txbiscuit]

Wow, your man is committed! I don't know if I could convince OH to do that, even if our schedules allowed for it. It'll be nice for you to be able to relax and go with the flow, though!

 

[lamago]

Snack, I think it's a great idea and I might do that too. As i got AF just now and i'm officially onto cycle #7 i'm so bummed about it!

 

[Twag]

Wow lucky you don't think my man would do that but he does like to see my chart etc

Good luck with that hope it works out for you

Lilly & Lamago

How is TEAM SEXY doing?

Our BD-athon starts this weekend - hope this is the one not sure I can take many more disappointments tbh

 

[lamago]

TeamSexxy, I'm on day 4 of my cycle now and started taking clomid yesterday. I'm a little weirded out by it, but we'll see how it goes. I'm going to ask OBGYN for referral to RE and at least get another opinion.

Twag---wohoo for the baby dance! Try to strenghten those tigh muscles!

 

[Ameli]

I've just been reading the posts for awhile because nothing is new here. Just a waiting game for me. I have a good feeling aout this cycle - thinking at least one of us will get a BFP very soon to join texasbiscuit.

 

[txbiscuit]

I hope so! I'm ready for some bump buddies.

Ameli, our dogs are about the same age. Mine will be 10 1/2 next month. What kind of dog do you have?

 

[Ameli]

He's a lab. What about yours? It makes me a little sad that he's getting older, but he is the sweetest.

 

[txbiscuit]

Mine is a lab/pointer mix. He is starting to have a few problems related to age, but he has the best "old man" personality.
