Early 30's TTC #1

[hopefulmama2b]

Sorry to hear about AF, Mrsmax and Rosa

Rosa- good luck with your appt today. I hope all of your questions get answered.

MrsMax- Good luck with the HSG!! I know how you feel as I too have avoided preggos because it's just too painful sometimes.

Crumbs- Ouch! I hope you heal quickly.

AFM- I just got back from a much needed beach vacation in Florida. DH and I had a great time!! We're trying really hard this month for a BFP. Maybe a little too hard because DH had a little increased frequency trauma Hope his little soldier feels better tonight though because we have plans! Ha! Come on BFP!!!

 

[mrsmax]

You made me laugh Hopeful!!

Rosa - I have my HSG appointment next Friday (10th) - a littel bummed as that is day 12 so less chance to conceive this month, but hopefully worth it.

Am a little envious of all your tests though - least you will feel like you should get to the bottom of what is up (if anything is wrong). After my HSG (provided it is clear) my next appointment isnt until end August

Have told dh we need to start saving for IUIs.

Going to try to keep positive this month and not get so down. I am sure PMA has something to do with it.

start saving for iuis? are they not covered by your insurance? 3 rounds of IVF are covered with mine, so I'm assuming iuis are covered, but I don't know. I guess I should check on that! Why would cd12 be less likely that you would get preggo this cycle? Mine is on cd11...and why is your next appt end of august???

I'm glad we'll hopefully get some answers soon. I'm sure pma has a lot to do with it too, but I don't have much either. I won't be able to do an iui until september, so I pretty much have counted us out until then. maybe the hsg will help, but who knows. i'm feeling pretty down, too.

Sorry to hear AF got you MrsMax.

Good luck with your appts Rosa and MrsMax.

Hope your ankle is feeling better Crumbs.

Just waiting for O. This month it seems to be taking so long (not that it is any different to any other month). I just feel more impatient for some reason.

 

[ttc32]

me too i'm in the same boat trying to conceive for the last 4 months now currently 32years old . But i'm brainwashed my self to be Positive. IT has to happen.

In the UK health insurance doesn't usually cover IUIs or IVF. Usually in the Uk if you are under 39 you qualify for free IUIs or 3 free IVF - but my district has just decided that you have to be under 35!! So, if we have to go down that route we have to pay for it ourselves. Yikes!! I dont think we would do the first IUI in that case until Octoberish.

The reason I said it was a bummer having HSG on CD12 is cause you can't have sex before the appointment - last month I o'd on day 13 so we would only get one or two shots if I O the same day this month That said, some people say it ups your chances.

Big hugs - I wish we lived next door so we could moan together. This journey is getting lonelier every cycle

That would be lovely wouldn't it?

Soliel- Thinking about you...

It depends on what insurance you have here in the states. I have pretty great insurance, so it appears that everything is covered, including $100,000 of ivf. Hopefully I won't have to go the ivf route, though. I'm having the hsg on cd11, and I usually o late, cd 15-17, so I'll give a day or two off and start. I'm telling the dh to take care off business on his end so we can keep the sperm healthy until we're ready.

It would be nicer if we lived next door! It's hard to find people who I'm close to who are going through the same thing.

 

[mrsmax]

Rosa - wow that is great insurance (although I hope you never have to use it).

Have researched costs if IUI and they are not as bad as I thought - so affordable. Phew. IVF is a lot more, but as you say let's hope we never get that far.

Have googled "BFP 13 months plus" today and read lots of inspiring stories so feeling better today - although have the worst sore throat ever today.

How is everyone doing this cycle? Anyone testing soon?

 

[hopefulmama2b]

How is everyone doing this cycle? Anyone testing soon?

I'm doing ok. 1 dpo so I have a little wait still to go. It took me the same amount of time to get pregnant with my previous 2 pregnancies and this month would be "the winner" if history repeats itself. Although, I'm not too fond of my history so if a longer wait means I actually get to bring home a baby this time I will happily oblige.

 

[mrsmax]

Fxd Hopeful that this is the winning month and the bean is sticky!

 

[MsJMouse]

I agree. Everyone over here already has their babies. I appear to be a late starter!

FX'd for a good month with a sticky BFP this month Hopeful.

Hoping that everything is going okay Soliel.

So I had my hysterscopy and it sucked. Like really painful. But it only lasted about 5 seconds each time it hurt. The worst thing was walking into "that" part of the office, and seeing the enormously scary and huge poin needles that I could only assume were going up the vajayjay. I immediately started crying. The nurse and doc were so nice and worked quickly. I also had an endometrial biopsy which was a surprise to me so that fear made cry too. Anyway it's over and doc said this is worse than hsg on Monday so I am relieved abou that. Said would not do an iui this cycle and then I told him he reason of dh being on military leave and he said hmmm well we'll talk about what u can do. Truth be told dh will be around early in am and late at pm so at least we can try on our own. It's over and I'm fine now.

Any word from Soleil? We're thinking of you, girl.

 

[mrsmax]

Hey Rosa - bet you are glad that is over. Pleased to hear the doctors and nurses were sympathetic. Sounds horrid. When do you get the results?

It doesnt look like Soleil has commented anywhere for ages. Hopefully she is waiting her 3 months out away from BnB and will be back for her 2nd trimester.

 

[MsJMouse]

Rosa that doesn't sound pleasant so I can imagine you are glad it is all done. Good luck with your HSG on monday. At least things are moving along and you will hopefully get your results fairly quickly.

 

[hakunamatata]

Just wanted to say hi ladies! I'm just 3 months away from TTC now! I'll be reading up on you all in the meantime, and I can't wait to share my stories w/ you soon.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Rosa- sorry to hear it was painful, but you're doing it for a great cause! You have to get to the bottom of all of this and get your baby! Keep being strong. Good luck Monday. In the past when I have had to get poked and prodded and more IVs than I even care to think about I just tried my best to close my eyes, hold back the tears the best I could, and think of how I am doing this for my family. And if this is what it takes for me to finally get my baby so be it. I can't imagine any pain that we all wouldn't ultimately go through.

Hakuna- That's just a hop, skip, and a few good pool days away! It'll be here before you know it. I see you have a chart, but no temps? Are you going to temp before hand. I could see the positives of both- on one hand you can get a good feel of how your cycle works before hand and also have something to show the doctors if unfortunately it gets to that point. On the other hand- minimal stress is key!

FF is totally confused on my O and so am I although I think I'm really 3 dpo or 4 at the absolutely most. I had a thermometer mishap on Tuesday and it's throwing everything off. I imagine that O has occurred and that's ultimately the goal! And hopefully one or two of the bd-ing sessions fell in the fertile phase.

I will be testing next Sunday. FXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks. I have the hsg on Monday, but the doc said the Friday test was worse. Not sure if he was just trying to make me feel better, but it worked! I'm less scared about it, now that I know what to expect. I'll have a consultation with my dh and the doc on Wednesday afternoon, where I find out the results of all the tests and figure out what the next step is.

That's what's keeping me going...I'm doing this for a family. It sucks, but it'll be worth it. It's just not fair that some people never have to go through this. Although, not that I wish it on anyone.

Good luck! Are you learning about your cycle? That'll help a lot! Do you wish you were starting now, or are you happy you're waiting?

 

[MsJMouse]

Wow Wednesday is quick for results Rosa. Pathology stuff here usually takes at least a week unless its marked as urgent - though haven't been to a FS as yet so no idea if that is quicker.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I can't believe it is June already. This year is flying by. It means we have been trying for a year this month (though we did get a BFP just not a sticky one so I guess the year doesn't really count). Now just for some BFPs for us all.
