Could use a buddy

Hope you ladies are doing well~~

preg - Happy 16 days to go!!! Ahh!! So close!!

pino - i agree with sashimi. definitely get check out BEFORE going on birth control pill~

afm, I've made an appt with the specialist on Jan 24th~ Now.. let's see what is up with us!

 

[SashimiMimi]

Yay lxb can't wait to hear how it goes. Remember to feel free to ask me anything if you need help prepping questions beforehand.

thanks sashimi~~ I'm googling and listing my list of questions~~

what type of questions did you ask? do you still have your list? trying to google some useful questions~

 

[SashimiMimi]

Lxb: Obviously you will tell them your entire history of TTC. From there I think it is important to understand all of the tests they will do and what they are for. Be sure to book a recheck after the tests to go over the results and come up with a game plan.

I know at my clinic my RE liked to be very in the moment and not discuss too many "what ifs" for possible solutions down the road. We didn't even discuss IVF until it was clear that it was probably my best and only option to get a BFP.

I remember you saying the mmc was possibly a blighted ovum, so I would ask about if there is anything in particular that could cause that. The more information you can share about yourself the better, the tests they perform will take care of the rest and should shed some light on any issues.

I'm very excited for you and OH to take this next step!

 

[lxb]

Yeah~ I'm going to call to see if my OB can fax over my record then print out all my charts from FF. This appt should be the 'what's next' type of appt. Taking the initial step to do some basic testing (at least some blood work) as well as SA for DH.

Since OB couldn't tell me how much will SA be from them, I've decided I would go with the specialist where I know the exact cost and no surprises.

Baby steps ... (pun intended )

 

[SashimiMimi]

That sounds like a great plan! I know with my OH, they did a number of S/As on him including a full sperm defrag that we paid extra for. This revealed a lot and I'm glad we did it.

Yes, I think it should definitely be a what's next meeting. Obviously you don't want to keep going forward blindly, wondering if there is anything going on and I know it will be such a mood lifter for you to get a plan going. What ever that might be!

My best friend started TTC and she is already getting frustrated. I think she is super spooked because so many of her friends (including myself) have fertility problems. She has MS (mutiple sclerosis not morning sickness!!) and has been through so much with her health at such a young age, I just hope that infertility does not get added to that list. She went off the pill in June, it took 5 months of AF to show up and now she never gets positives on OPKs. I told her to start temping as OPKs can't always be reliable. How have people been having babies since the beginning of time when it is this complicated!?

Lxb--- It is so great you are going through the process. Hopefully I am not to far behind you in the testing section.... Can you please keep us updated on the steps and questions etc. For those of us that have been chickens LOL

Sash--- I am so sorry to hear about the scare!!! I am so glad your little one is safe and tucked in!!

I am not sure what happened to all my subscribed threads I just figured everyone was busy. I had to go through and resubscribe to everyone. I promise I was NOT ignoring you guys!!!

So we have officially decided a few things

1. We WILL be moving the last week in March. We hope to be on the road March 25, 2013.

2. Next week I WILL apply to the 2 colleges up there as a transfer student. One community and the other University.

3. My dad is working on the insurance and I WILL get testing done the moment I can.

4. We are not sure on how long we are going to wait to try though, and we are still nervous about birth control. I wouldn't go on it until after the testing and stuff, but even then so many people have fertility issues after BC, so I am still squeemish about it.

Thank you all for your input it really did help me knowing you are all behind me with support. Thank you

Lxb sounds like you have a great game plan!! I am really excited for you and DH and can't wait to hear how it all goes. You may have said this but is your appointment already scheduled? We are rooting for you girl!!

Pino I do that all the time by accident on my phone . You also have quite a plan in the works and lots of exciting, big stuff coming your way! There's nothing quite like taking that first life-changing step and going towards a big dream. I got married when I was 22 and never in a million years thought that DH and I would be where we are now, after almost 5 years. You two have so many amazing adventures ahead!

I don't think you sound 21 or look 21. Just thought you said that was your age when you joined the thread.

I'm pregnant! 3 months of healthy eating and horrible tea has done the trick! I hope this gets the ball rolling on 2013 BFPs... thanks for all your help, totally invaluable. H xxx

 

[SashimiMimi]

Haribo!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best news I have heard all day. I'm actually sitting here with tears in my eyes! You did it!!! I wish you a healthy 9 months and all the happiness in the world!

Now tell us everything. Did you almost fall over when you saw the double lines? How do you feel!?!?

 

[haribo813]

Ha ha sashimi! Bless you with the tears! I actually had a great acupuncture/chinese herbs session on sat 5th and things looked hopeful as I ovulated early in dec and had had a high temp for 16 days at that stage. But I've been crushed so many times so I tried to forget it and carried on, staying busy! Panicked every time i went to loo in case witch had arrived. Then my boobs stayed bit big like do just pre period and the days went by-no other symptoms. I tested on sat and was still a bit scared to but line was there! Am delighted. Thought this was a stopgap til ivf in august. Am only 5 weeks but baby due mid Sept! Hasnt sunk in yet! Long way to go but this is such a great development for me whatever happens. Fingers crossed! I'm superstitious so didn't get el you all til after the test!

Truly believe that was combo of my diagnosis, sticking with teas and diet and a bit of luck.

Let's hope there will be a flurry of others v soon. Needless to say I'll still be on here. Thanks again for being there for my vents xxx

 

[SashimiMimi]

This is amazing!!! I have heard so many success stories with the teas and acupuncture. I'm glad you didn't have to wait and go through IVF! Sounds like your little one is just ready to come now. What did your OH say!?!? You must both be so over the moon. I didn't want to get excited until after I saw my doctor but it sounds like a sure thing! And September is a wonderful time for a baby
