dyme - i hope the HSG does the trick for you.

luv - i have tested and BFN up until today. i used IC's and then a digital today and nothing. i don't know how many DPO i am, but if i go by my longest cycle i should be due tomorrow. just waiting this one out. not too optimistic or pessimistic at this point, because anything can happen. just wish it would hurry on up!

 

[LuvMySoldier]

Fx'd your just too early to get that bfp!

 

[nevertogether]

thanks honey. i'm actually laughing right now. i decided to fool around and do one of those due date calculators. if we did conceive this cycle, bean would be due around 4 sept. why is that funny? because DH has two kids from previous relationships and their birthdays are 27 aug and 7 sept. our bean would be smack in the middle and that would be one hell of an expensive time of the year!

Sorry your cycles are so wacky, I understand it can be frustrating. I spoke with my RE today and she does not think I need the HSG. She says my bloodwork came back fine and nothing else in my exams have led her to think there is a blockage and its just a matter of us working on the timing. I just had another 21 day bloodwork panel completed on 11/18 which shows I am ovulating for certain. I figured we will try one more time this cycle and if I do not get my BFP I am coming in for another round of tests. My cycles are normal again and my hormones seem to be regulated so there is no reason why I should not be pregnant right now.

I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you to get that BFP.

well, hopefully this next cycle brings you your my FS actually told me that if everything came back fine that he wanted to check my tubes because it could be the only thing causing me not to get pregnant. him as well as my gyno have both been pretty confident in the fact that since we have had unprotected sex since 2007 (TTC or not) that i should have conceived by now and they want to find the problem. my FS seems extremely understanding. i'm anxious for my next appointment, especially if this one pans out to be nothing which i'm sure it will.

That's awesome if that is the only issue, I had a Mirena IUD which is why I think I am blocked now. My RE blew off all of my concerns regarding the Mirena which is one of the main reasons I had it removed. We've only been trying since September so she is not alarmed as of yet. I think the Mirena blocked my tubes but she says no. We shall see...

That would be awesome never my Edd is Sept 5

Even unprotected if you and your hubby are not BDing during your fertile period it would not matter how long you have been trying. I really think in your case, you all may not have hit your fertile period precisely.

If I do not get my BFP this upcoming cycle, I intend to go with a NTNP plan because I get too worked up that fertile week and it drives me bonkers. We did not plan our son so I think that might be the best approach for a few cycles. I am hoping I do not have hostile CM which may be killing the little buggers off. I seem to ovulate on CD 16 so I hope I have pinpointed that correctly and make the CM more friendly. LOL...

I am so hoping we get our BFP's this year.

luv - wow, that would make us true bump buddies if i got a still not hopeful though. i think if i make it through today with no spotting or bleeding, i will more hopeful. but until then i'm not.

dyme - i agree with you that even since we have had unprotected sex since 2007, we could have missed my fertile period every time. however, i definitely like my FS's approach. i hate waiting and i'm super impatient. i would rather find out what is wrong before hand and fix it before i go months and months thinking nothing is wrong and something is actually wrong and i've wasted all that time. make sense? FX'ed we both get our 's in the new year

Excellent point Never! Ask your FS about NSAID's like Aleve and Advil. I read something about those types of pain meds negatively impacting ovulation. I swear by Aleve but now I am starting to re-think that mindset after I read that study. I have to do some more research before I make a firm conclusion.

 

[nevertogether]

dyme - i will make sure i will ask my FS when i go. i usually take tylenol. my husband is a medic, i could ask him as well - he might know. the only one i know that is a no-no is ibuprofen and i hate it because the army gives ibuprofen for EVERYTHING. i've also been put on gabapentin for my sciatica and i'm terrified to take it because i'm afraid it will mess up my cycle. gosh girl. i really hope we can get something figured out soon. i think we both deserve this when is your next FS appointment? i might have missed it.

 

[Dyme_Diva40]

Thanks. I just read that Alieve and Advil (NSAID) causes the follicle not to rupture when ovulating. So even if you have a viable egg if you take NSAID's for pain the NSAID will impact the egg and it will not rupture from the follicle. I have not done enough research into it to stand behind the claim. I just happen to come across the information in my research of something else last night.

I do not go to the FS until February. She wants us to try this upcoming cycle, I am supposed to ovulate on the 8th. In the meantime, I am trying to make my self more "sperm friendly" and reduce the acidic quality of my CM so we shall see by the 19th if I am successful.

I am really leaning towards the NTNP idea, this is way too much work and I do not want to become stressed again.

Sorry you are feeling bad, hope you get better soon. It's a bummer being in pain and not knowing what to take and how it will effect your body. You have a really long cycle this time around. Can you get a blood test? The HPT may not pick up for a while.

[Dyme_Diva40]

Never~

I see you are 18DPO, have you scheduled a blood test or are you going to take a HPT? I got everything crossed for you and I want to be right behind you if I O on the 8th as scheduled!

Ok, I am patiently waiting for my day... First cycle in 2011 would be awesome!!

 

[nevertogether]

i've tested and still still hopeful though as i've never been this late. probably going to wait a week and see if it's positive, if not i have my 17 jan FS appointment to confirm one way or the other

 

[nevertogether]

still no AF!

how's it going dyme and luv?

 

[Dyme_Diva40]

Happy New Year Never!

Here's hoping 2011 will bring us our dreams.

Planning on relaxing prior to heading back to the grind of work and school on the 4th.

How are you doing? Hopefully your New Years was excellent!

D~

 

[LuvMySoldier]

Fingers crossed for both you girls! I hope 2011 bring us all good news!
I haven't gotten a blood confirmation yet I'm going on Monday and hoping they'll give me one to ease my mind that I really am pregnant again. I'm having symptoms but after my mc I just need that reassurance. I'm 4+5 weeks today and lost the last baby at 4+6 so I'm anxious for tomorrow to be over with and really anxious for Monday to get here.

 

[nevertogether]

happy new years girls!

dyme - enjoy the relaxing. sounds like a good idea!

good luck tomorrow luv. i'm sure everything will be fine, but i can definitely understand why you would be so nervous. i'm so anxious to just know something. i feel pretty confident that i am pregnant. if another period was to arrive it should be due 19 january so i guess i can wait out for that. my 17 jan FS appointment is my next upcoming thing and i hope we can get good news at it!!

 

[Dyme_Diva40]

Never~

I am so hopeful for you! I have everything crossed for you.

Hey ladies just wanted to stop and looks like i'll be joining you again. I once again started bleeding at 4+6 same as last time.

The ER said they have never seen a positive as low as mine before and said that they were as confused by everything i've been through as hubby and i are. They told me to make an OB appt to see if they will do tests to find out if its raised or lowered and to find out if i have a progesterone problem but OB wont see me because according to them my level isn't high enough to be considered a positive... and since i didn't have a positive test done by them before i started bleeding they consider me never to have been pregnant and can't help me until i have 3 miscarriages in a row but to call then next time i have a positive so they can give me another test. I hate military healthcare for this reason. Nice that its free but its horrible care because the military wants everything cheaply done.
I just feel extremely hopeless and depressed. I made an appt with my regular dr and am going to beg for a referral to a specialist and if she won't give me one i'm going to call my insurance directly and see if they will allow me to go to a specialist.
