[Twag]

Tx biscuit the beer idea is a winner I know it would be for my DH

It is my sisters birthday today too (3rd)

Lamago your chart is looking great FXd

 

[Twag]

I seem to have lost all sign of PMA on this side of the pond

 

[txbiscuit]

Oh no! Are you stressed mostly about the house, or is there other stuff making things stressful?

 

[Twag]

Mostly house which then has a knock on effect to everything else including TTC and study!

 

[lamago]

Twag, hopefully your house gets done soon so you can put that all behind you. You are going to love being in it tough =)

Happy B-Day Twag's Sister.

I met my husband 4 years ago today. I was hoping for BFP but it looks like my temps dropped today and i'm feeling bloated/cramping so I think I see AF in sight. That puts me at six months and I guess I'll have to take the damn HSG test.

 

[Twag]

Oh no

How comes you get a HSG test at cycle 6? I only ask as here they will only talk to you at the doctors if you have been trying for at least a year

 

[lamago]

The obgyn wants to give me the HSG because i'm over 35.

I it varies so much by doctor. My doctor doesnt want to give me clomid and other's get it after 3 months of trying. My nurse even told me the other OBGYN would have probably given it to me already with my progesterone levels.

But the main reason is my age.

 

[Twag]

Ahh ok sorry for being nosy

 

[txbiscuit]

I'm glad your doctor is at least moving forward with treatment as far as the HSG is concerned. I wonder why your doctor doesn't want to do Clomid? Is she concerned about multiples since you are ovulating? Your temperatures don't seem to get very high after ovulation.

 

[lamago]

No worries Twag, that's why were TTC buddies!

Yeah, this was my first month charting my temperature more often and it does resemble a low progesterone trend. Yesterdays' temp was the highest I have seen. Plus I already knew i'm low because i got a 7 and 9.4 level in my last two months. This month was 4.5 but I went 4 days early because I didnt know about late O.

She doesnt want to give it to me because she says i'm ovulating and don't need it. She hasn't really address the low progresterone problem. Says I can still get pregnant. Says I should do HSG before referring me to FS.

 

[Twag]

At least they are looking into things and sorting stuff out Lamago that is a step in the right direction have you tried yourself to eat more protein etc I think that is meant to help with progesterone? Or a bvitamin complex?

Just a thought

Got my completion date 11th April well I told them that was when we were completing and they agreed now just need our solicitor to do his job and quick but we will be in before my birthday

 

[Ameli]

Just wanted to check in with you all. Nothing too exciting going on for me, still early in the TWW. Just trying to keep busy with work. Lamago, I hope that AF doesn't come, but I agree with the others that it will be good to move forward and take some action if she does arrive. Txbiscuit, sounds like you settled on a good plan for your husband - mine loves anything to do with craft beer, especially a good IPA. Twag, I hope things get better for you too. Moving into a new home is so stressful on top of everything else going on in daily life.

 

[txbiscuit]

How is everyone doing?

This is me: (Again. Always.)

OH had a nice birthday. He was most excited about the fancy seafood, but he did really like the beers.

 

[Twag]

Glad your hubby had a good birthday

Sorry your but for a good cause

Me I am ok about to go to bed but Friday tomorrow wohoo and 1 week until I complete on my new house

 

[Snackimals]

No!!!!!!!! Not the barfies again!!!

 

[LillyTame]

Hey Tx

Headache for me today. But my mood is a lot better and I'm feeling a lot more productive (rewarding myself right now with a BnB break lol).

Tomorrow is CD10...time for me to get back on the TTC wagon lol. I'm going to start my temping again, I want to use temps to confirm OV, BUT I don't know how long I'll continue to temp afterwards. Seeing those ups and downs every other day is draining! Wondering....is that an implantation spike/dip?

(if I end up making it to cycle 9, I'll temp all the way through 12 so I'll have consistant data for a FS, in case they need to look for signs of low progesterone or something, but looking at my prior months I don't think that's my issue, but I'm no expert.)

 

[txbiscuit]

No!!!!!!!! Not the barfies again!!!

I know, right? At least it is getting better - it's not all day, everyday anymore. And Twag is right; it's for a good cause. I think I'll feel better as soon as I leave work - it's somehow so much worse to get sick in a public bathroom that hundreds of people use. Blah!

In related news, an opportunity just opened up in a slightly nicer department at my same organization. I could probably get a slight raise if they hired me, and I'd still qualify for FMLA and the in-house daycare (I don't know if I've gotten into the daycare situation, but it's a pretty nice deal.) If you were me, would you 1.) not apply b/c you're pregnant, and know you'd be off for 3 of the next 10 months, 2.) Apply, but disclose the pregnancy, or 3.) Apply and not disclose the pregnancy?

I could definitely use a change of pace, but I feel sort of guilty leaving my department in the lurch (after so many others left recently). I also don't want to burn bridges with the new or old department with maternity leave. Thoughts?

 

[txbiscuit]

I'm sorry you have a headache, Lil, but I'm glad your mood is better. The sun is finally shining again in Texas, so I'm in a slightly better mood myself.

Temping is stressful, but addictive. I could definitely see giving it up after a while, but I could also see myself missing any information that I could be using to drive myself crazy in the 2WW.

 

[Snackimals]

dude.. you just said so much more than I have ever even noticed on my chart... ! Don't get me started with your crazy paranoia and addictions! I got plenty of my own!

i was just laughing at myself cuz i cought myself thinking 'Hey, my temp really went up today, that must mean something because last month i didnt have that...'
Ummm, yeah. Last month I had no anything cuz I wasn't even temping at ALL! Ugh! Whats wrong with me! Hahahahaha!
