Yogi yep looks like we will be in the TWW together fingers crossed we both get our BFP's. I think I ov today as had a lot of pain on my right-hand side and because of US I had last month to check all was alright I know I should ov from my right ovary. Going to do another OPK later to see what it says. Very impressed with in a tent!! I'm going to do my best not to test untill AF is late as I find getting a BFN so heartbraking.

Hi lovelies, I'm back from the HSG. It wasn't as painful as the hysteroscopy was but this time I took 2 ibuprofen AND a Vicodin. I'm a little woozy from the Vicodin right now! They told me my tubes were really open and clear. But, they said my uterus was slightly shaped like the letter T. They want me to discuss the results with my FS. I started crying and asked what a T shaped uterus meant. She told me that there is a range of "normal" shapes and she thinks mine still falls within that range. She said she didn't think that the shape was causing my recurrent mcs. But, she wanted me to talk to the FS. Of course I had to google T shaped uterus and got all sorts of awful things. It can be the cause of recurrent mcs. Most women have them when their mother was given a drug called DES during pregnancy. I was born in the 70's and this drug was given in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Also, my mom is kind of a hippie and I highly doubt she would have taken any drugs during pregnancy. I'll have to ask her though. If I do have a bad T shaped uterus, there isn't anything they can do. I'm a bag of emotions right now. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but I can't help it. I'm scared that I'm destined to have continuous miscarriages due to the shape of my uterus. Just waiting for the FS to call now and tell me his thoughts. The waiting is torture!

Sorry, I haven't read the previous posts. My eyes are having a hard time focusing right now due to the drugs!

Hearty - try not to stress yourself out right now. Wait until you talk to your FS to see what they say about a T shaped uterus. Maybe there is something they can do, and maybe it doesn't mean awful things.....try to stay positive

Thanks Mel, I'll try, but it is hard. I'm tired of getting bad news.

 

[Megg33k]

Wow Megg, you met one of us in person??? How cool!

Mel, I hope you are feeling better today. No fun being sick, especially when you are preggers and can't take anything.

I'm getting my HSG this afternoon. I'm nervous about the pain and the results. I really hope it is all normal. I'll let you know how it goes when I'm done.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I've met more than 1 of you. I went to meet BranDivah in Jan. We had a blast as well. Then, there are 2 girls reasonably near me in Illinois that I'm supposed to be meeting for coffee soon. And, I'm going to go back to Georgia later this year to meet another one and her baby... and might stop by Kentucky on my way to meet another! LOL I love meeting my girls in person!

Also, I called my FS today and said we'd decided on injectables with IUI! Kevin's having a sperm analysis on Tuesday... and we start on my CD1, so long as I'm not pregnant now... which I really don't think I am. Pertinent countdowns in siggy now! I could be preggo in about a month!!! I'm so nervous and excited!

Is it bad that I'm worried the SA will be bad? I can't handle thinking of another hurdle to cross!!! I just hope he comes back with some sort of super sperm. I'm okay with me being the problem!

Hoping you're all well. Long weekend and didn't even make it to work this morning. Worrying a little about all the doc's appointments with the IUI too. But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it! I just can't wait to get this done!

(oops, hit the thanks button instead of quote at first)

I know it's hard hun, and no one likes bad news. There has got to be a silver lining coming for you soon. It can't possibly be one bad thing after another...it will come (and I hope sooner rather then later!).

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Mel, one would think there is a silver lining. The doctor who did the test didn't make it sound like a severe T shape. I just wanted them to tell me my uterus looked perfect. I did a little more reading online and found a woman who had a slight T shape. She was told by her doc that they think lots of women have this shape, but they aren't detected because usually a woman doesn't get an ultrasound until she's pregnant enough that the uterus has been stretched to normal shape. So, I guess the silver lining is that if I do indeed have just a slight T shape, I'm like many other women who end up having healthy babies. I just wish my doctor would call me to tell me his thoughts.

Megg, I was super nervous for Tim's SA. He actually smokes a decent amount of pot and I thought for sure his swimmers were going to be sluggish. He ended up having swimmers that could rival Michael Phelps! I was amazed at his numbers in every category they checked. My FS said that they actually don't have a lot of data on sperm and infertility/miscarriage. He said that if you are getting pregnant, then sperm is not the issue. You've gotten pregnant twice so I wouldn't worry. (Ha! That's the statement of the century. The biggest worrier telling someone not to worry!)

 

[Megg33k]

Just caught up more properly! I looked up the T-shaped uterus stuff, Hearty... and there are plenty of success stories with it. Especially if they didn't seem to suggest it was severe.

Kevin doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs. So, I can't imagine there being too much of an issue.. but its still scary, ya know? I just hope that I'll be lucky enough for it to take the first time!!! I've never been so equally nervous and excited!

I just had to add that my husband (Tim) smokes a lot of pot as well and had awesome swimmers as well! I was terrified that they were going to tell us that they were deformed and swiming the wrong way I'm sure everything will be great, Megg!

 

[heart tree]

What's with these men named Tim who smoke pot??? Mine has cut back since ttc, but I haven't been able to convince him to stop.

How are you doing hoping? Looks like you are in the TWW! I hope you are doing ok. I often think about you.

 

[hoping:)]

You got to love people named Tim! I had him cut back when we started trying after our 2nd MC in July 09... we tried for 8 months and nothing. On the 9th month he started smoking regularly again and we concieved! He claims that it helps him

I'm doing good but I am anxious to find out if we have another 1st round clomid sucess. I will probably test wed or thurs since af is due fri or saturday. I had to have a blood test today to make sure that everything was back to normal after the mc in July. I was hoping they would surprise me and say that I was pregnant again but the the results came back as my hcg level being 2 oh well... I'm only 10 dpo so there is still hope! How are you doing?

 

[heart tree]

Oh I hope this is your month (and next 9 months!) Keep us posted!

I'm ok. After my HSG today, I'm a little shaken up. I'm waiting to hear from my fertility specialist what he thinks about the results. They found a slight T shape to my uterus. I really wanted them to tell me my uterus looked perfect. Uuugghh. Just one more thing to think about. I've had better days. Just trying to stay positive.

 

[heart tree]

Megg, I'm super excited for you! I can't wait to hear about your next pregnancy.

 

[Megg33k]

Megg, I'm super excited for you! I can't wait to hear about your next pregnancy.

Thank you!

I can't wait for you to hear from your FS about how he feels about the slight T. I bet he says its fine! Everything crossed!

 

[hoping:)]

Staying positive is best because the added stress probably won't help. I'm sure your slight T shape uterus won't be any cause for concern. Lots of people have that and go on to have healthy babies

Good luck this cycle as well! I would love to see you with a !

 

[heart tree]

Thanks girls. Grrr, my FS is out until Friday!!! CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!! I can't believe I have to wait that long. Damn, damn, damn.

Ok...deep breaths. Staying positive.....
