Could use a buddy

[Pino6161]

Sash--- Sometimes it is a good thing to sit and cry. I am glad you and OH had a small date, it was much needed. As for the bloatedness, I don't think OH meant to hurt your feelings, but damn was he blunt LOL. I hope you are starting to feel better today. I broke down and started crying for you yesterday. OH thought I was nuts Let us know what the Dr. says, and try to stay positive!!

 

[SashimiMimi]

Pino you are so sweet, but I don't want you to cry for me. You have enough to deal with! I think OH was just asking if I was sore or in pain because my stomach looked bloated. And I was wearing a dress with horizontal stripes which only accentuated everything. A nurse called and said to monitor the pain, but I don't have any severe symptoms of OHSS so she didn't think I need to come in. She said I will get a call this afternoon about my transfer. I just want to know how those eggies are doing dammit!

 

[lxb]

I bet those eggs are settling in nicely and they're deciding who gets to get held by your arms and shower with never-ending love by you and OH~

Goodness! Can't it be tomorrow already?!!

imaging us piling on top of one another... laughing/crying~~

 

[SashimiMimi]

It is such a funny picture in my mind to picture grown women puppy piling!!!! With me on the bottom LOL!!!

Lxb - how are you doing? Any news on your front? Where are you at in your cycle?

 

[Pino6161]

It might look very interesting puppy piling let's hope none of us break anything

 

[lxb]

I have NO idea where I'm at for my cycle. Read that it's normal to probably not see O on post-miscarriage cycles Had my first AF on Aug 11th. Felt some pain on CD10 and thought I would O soon (because of water/ewcm). I check cm and temp everyday... and it's just not confirming O. Then, I started googling if working out will delay O (since dh & i started jogging last week - only twice a week though. along with some yard work). And it did mention extreme workout could cause delay in O haha: let's face it... what I did was not an 'extreme' workout!).

So yeah, CD18... random mild cramps here and there. C'mon body! Get yourself together!

 

[Pino6161]

lxb---I don't think I have ever done an "extreme" workout in my like It might take a while for your cycles to get back to normal. I wouldn't stress it to much

 

[lauren26]

This puppy pile is going to happen!!! Sashimi I can't wait for them to call you!!! I am anxiously awaiting your call, too. I am so glad you had a date and sounds like you and OH were able to be light about things and laugh a little. I am sure your bloated belly wasn't all that bad. After my lap I looked in the mirror and thought, how did I gain ten pounds over night just in my belly? And why is it all stretched out?....Lol. OH said, 'No....you don't look big.....' Yeah right!

Does the transfer time have to do with the exact time the eggs are ready?

lxb - It does not surprise me that your cycle is a little off, and maybe you will just O late. You had to take two rounds of meds so it might take a little bit for your body to get back on its feet . That said, c'mon O!!! We're trying to get a rainbow baby around here!

Pino - You are a sweet lady!! So caring and insightful at such a young age! I think I was all over the place when I was 22, not at all focused on making the life I wanted happen. I hope that doesn't sound irritating--I know that it bugged me when people made comments about my age! Anyway, you are great.

 

[countrygirl86]

Sashimi - does it hurt at all when they put it/them in your hoo haa? We'll have to make sure we puppy pile you before that lol I'm excited for you to get that call!

lxb - Fx you O soon! On my last cycle I didn't O till CD35 and it was brutal. It's gotta be coming soon!

lauren - you just wait! In the mornings I don't look pg at all and by 3pm I look 6 months prego, the bloating is incredible!

 

[Pino6161]

Lauren--- It doesn't bother me at all. I know I act older, but at times I am a big kid. I think we all have a bit of it in us. I had to grow up fast but I love the way my life turned out. It was hard but I have no regrets.

Honestly I have no idea how old everyone on here is I know you all have said, but ages never have bothered me, they don't mean much. It's the maturity and personalities. I love everyone on here.

 

[Pino6161]

So last night me and OH were talking about TTC last night and he brought up acupunture. I think I am going to do it, and he wants to try as well.

We talked about the stress it brings trying, but at the same time it's stresses me out not trying.

Fro me I feel like I wasted time and money trying every month, but I know that if I don't try the what if's will eat me. I might miss the chance. IDK. I am kinda lost at this point in my TTC journey.

 

[lauren26]

Wise words, Pino! I think you will really enjoy acupuncture. I couldn't believe how different it made me feel and how much better my periods were (not that I wanted a period...). Anyway, I think you'll like it! Be sure you go to someone who specializes in fertility because they know what the 'forbidden' points are. I am excited for you! I am 27, not that it matters

Country - LOL, can't wait

 

[SashimiMimi]

Hey Pino, I think acupuncture is a wonderful idea. It has helped me with a lot of issues such as jaw clenching from stress, anxiety, insomnia and even kidney problems. So it's a great step to take right now, but I honestly believe you should be seeing a fertility specialist who can diagnose the real problem. Since you have been PG before, you know you can get PG but aren't holding on. My co-worker for instance who had two mcs recently saw a specialist and was diagnosed with a progesterone deficiency. So she isn't doing any fancy ART treatments, just taking progesterone. Sometimes its a matter or not ovulating and that can be fixed with something like a clomid prescription. Until you can get in to see a reputable fertility specialist, I do believe that acupuncture will help with the stress you are feeling.

Well I finally got my call. Transfer is at 10:45 tomorrow. They could not give me any information on how the eggs were doing or if any survived since yesterday. For a minute, I came up with a conspiracy theory that they are just bringing me to the clinic to give me the bad news in person. But they did tell me to come with a full bladder, as that is needed for the transfer and they also allowed me to book one of their rooms to do acupuncture before and after the procedure!! So they wouldn't make me suffer a full bladder and come all that way if it were bad news, right?

I'm so vulnerable today and feel the extreme emotional stress from yesterday is having major repercussions on my body today. I'm in so much pain and can barely walk around. I have called the nurse at my clinic twice and she says not to worry. OH is really stressed with a work situation right now, so I feel bad that work is stressing him out on top of IVF.

I find that being preggo gave me the excuse not needing to suck it in~~~

argh.. feel so bloated! Not to mention ~10 new pimples on my face along with canker sores! all for no good reason~~~

sashimi - agree! they won't ask you go in there with a full bladder if there are bad news~ so you're good to go! Ah.. so exciting! I'm feeling nervous for you too! Sending lots and lots of positive thoughts you way~

couldn't help myself~

lauren - you just wait! In the mornings I don't look pg at all and by 3pm I look 6 months prego, the bloating is incredible!

I can relate to that. I have a "tiny" bump in the mornings (mostly just my abdominal fat, but a little bit of preggo bump underneath, but in the evenings, I look ready to pop (according to my coworkers)... hehe.

Sash - I hope everything goes well in the morning for you

 

[haribo813]

Ah lxb, loving the puppy pile but i wish I were that cute! Try not to worry about wacko cycles too much-a friend of ours didn't even get an AF after 1st baby and fell pregnant with no 2 so the body can be a strange thing!

Sashimi: brill news about your transfer, we are all rooting for you lady. Hope it goes swimmingly (ha!)

I'm off to bed. A 6am start, interview and full on day have left me knackered.

Night night ladies
xxxxx

 

[Pino6161]

lxb--- So cute puppy pile!!!

Lauren, Sash--- I think for me the acupuncture will generally help with the stress, even if it doesn't help me TTC I willat least feel like I am doing something other than sticking a thermometer up my hoo haa

Sash--- I'm excited for your appt tomorrow! I know it's pretty much 50 50, but I am thinking positive for you! I don't think they would torture you like that!!

 

[lauren26]

haribo - How was the interview?!!

lxb - Yes!!! My thoughts exactly

Sashimi - I am so excited for you! It is totally natural to be nervous, but I think you will do great and the eggies will do great, too. Is the method of getting those eggies in there the same as IUI? I will be thinking of you! Does the actual transfer happen at 10:45 am est time? I hope you get tons of rest and support tonight .

 

[countrygirl86]

I'm rooting for you Sashimi! It's so soon! Sounds like the real thing to me, I can't see how they'd tell you to be all ready then say "faked ya!". You'll have a little embryo in you soon. When I used to look around on the assisted threads the girls would consider themselves PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise) after a transfer, that's what you are now.

Pino, acupuncture definitely sounds like a great way to manage yours and DHs stress. I wish I could convince mine to go!

lxb, the puppy pile is adorable! Canker sores are the pits, hoping they go away soon! I had an explosion of them one time and my doctor prescribed this stuff that made them heal up quickly.

haribo, how was the interview??

everyone

 

[lauren26]

Thinking of you right now Sashimi!!
