Early 30's TTC #1

[MrsPTTC]

mrsmax I think the chances are pretty high as they say you're extra fertile after a MC don't they? I've heard a lot of stories on here of getting BFP's straight after! All hope is NOT lost at 9DPO! If you browse the preg charts on FF yeah there are some BFP's at 9DPO but mostly 11/12. GOOD LUCK!!

joeybrooks - Welcome! Good luck with your first month TTC, I know exactly what you mean about taking forever to bite the bullet, same for us! (Especially DH he took a lot of persuading!)

AFM - hubby's SA appointment came through today, he's not happy that he has to go for another one, and even less happy he needs to DTD there! I don't really get why he needs another one either, I know his last test was at a different clinic but his results were fine. I assume they do another one just to rule out "freak" results or something Anyway he said he's not going, but we're gonna talk about it later, I guess if he refuses they're not gonna be happy about testing me so he'd better go!

MrsMax- 100% that's great! Mine is at 0% ha! But that's only based on five charts which were ovulatory so I'm not losing sleep over it. Fx!!!!!

Joey- good luck with your first month!

MrsPTTC- Yikes! He has to do it there?? I would feel awkward too, but if that's how things are he will just have to suck it up and take one for the team!

MrsPTTC - when dh gave his sample he had to do it at home and rush it to the hospital. (He wonded if it was a good enough excuse for speeding...), but he would have preferred to do it there. I guess it all depends - but he has to do it and I'm sure he will, he just probably has got a case of nerves. Who wouldn't. Be sympathetic and kind but strong. He isnt being mean - he is just scared. My dh was really uncomfortabel about it, but did it and I'm sure yours will. Although twice is a tad annoying!!!

Let us know how you get on. xx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks mrsmax, the first test was a DTD & rush it in, but I getting my tests done at a different hospital & they don't do it like that. DH spoke to the consultant secretary today, she said him refusing the test won't affect me getting tested, but he needs to speak to the consultant on Monday to discuss if its really necessary to have another one & why... Will keep you updated. When's your AF due? Hope your temps stay up hun x x

My dh also had to have two SAs and we're not sure why. We were kind of annoyed since for some reason our insurance didn't cover it, and we had to pay like $250 or something. Whatever. He had to do it at the clinic, too, and we were giggling at the choices of "motivators" in the room. Movies like "Spunk 7" and dh was like well, I missed Spunk 1-6, so I'm not sure I'll understand the plot...

Good news! My doc called and said that the clinic is picking up the extra cost of whatever I do, since they don't participate with the insurance company anymore! So, I can still go to my doc for IVF or whatever we do!!!! I have my post-op consult tomorrow, and I'm hoping to set a plan for IVF in place. Let's get this ball rolling already!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Brilliant news Rosa! . I would understand needing 2 if the first one had poor results but not when everything came back fine . Nevermind I have a feeling there's a good reason & he's gonna have to watch spunk 7!! x

 

[rosababy]

He was all excited...he's like do you think spunk 8 is out yet?! He was disappointed that the other room didn't have the spunk series. What a weirdo!

My dh had poor morphology the first time, and the 2nd time was only 1% higher. Freaking awesome. The count was a little lower, too, but dh was sick and said he wasn't very aroused, which makes a differences evidently.

 

[MrsPTTC]

I'm not surprised he wasn't aroused having to do that in a strange place, I don't think I would be either! x

Hi ladies! Rosa you had me rollin'! Also glad about your positive news.

MrsPttc sorry your DH has to go for a second round. I wonder if this is procedure.

My Dh is up for a SA as well. We were having trouble getting a script however. I never called my insurance to see if they covered, bc we'll have it one way or another. I'll have to do that tomorrow. We opted to do ours at home, but then we have to rush to the lab to drop it off. We have one hour. lol So we'll do it after vacation.

I've been thinking about it. I think I prefer he goes into the lab. I just see a million things that can happen from home to the lab. Then we'll have to reschedule. Their hours aren't the best. (just reading back to see that MrsMax had a similar experience.) I feel better about it I guess.

 

[mrsmax]

ha ha ha - Rosa, you are so funny. Spunk 8!!!!

Also that is GREAT news about your clinic You must be so pleased.

I tested today with FRER and got a BFN at 11 DPO so think I am out after all. Just dont understand why my temps are so different this month, but it has been pretty warm here so that maybe why.

I would be a lot sadder, but DH has been away for a week and is back on Monday so just looking forward to that.

Happy Friday ladies x

 

[rosababy]

Crumbs, 11 dpo is still early. Remember that several ladies don't get their bfp until way later.

Had my appt today. IVF is my next step, since I officially have damaged tubes. Doc was ready to schedule it for this cycle, but I told him that we were out of town next week for 10 days. SO, I have a mock transfer next Tuesday. This is on a full bladder, gross, go in with a cathader to see if everything is cool and so he knows EXACTLY where he's going on the day of the actual transfer. He said it's like driving to your new job on a Sunday to make sure you know where you're going so you're not late on the first day. I was happy to get in so quickly! This is how it's been here, though. I get appts SO quickly every time.

Then, I call when I get my period, I go in for an u/s, and pick up my injectables, shots, etc., get a tutorial on how to do the shots, and not sure what else. We'll find out on Tuesday when we sign consent forms. He said that the transfer is about 5 weeks after my cycle starts, which puts us at the end of September with a blood test mid-October.

I'm excited and yet nervous. This is so real now. Am I ready for this emotional and physical rollarcoaster? I guess I'm already a third of the way through the ride anyway...might as well keep going. Told me that if I DID get preggo on my own by some miraculous event, it's very possible that it would be ectopic since I have tubal damage. So here we go. Wow. Never thought we'd be here.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Rosa, thats great news you're in so quick!! But yes I can imagine it's very scary, and it sounds a very complex process with injections and what not. You should have your before the year is out!!

BTW it was mrsmax who had a negative FRER not Crumbs hun!

Well yet another school friend has announced on FB she is pregnant, didn't even know she had a boyfriend and she broke up with her ex only a couple of months ago. She doesn't have a job or seem to have any stability and fell pregnant by accident... . Jealous? Me?? Nahhhh!!

[hopefulmama2b]

MrsMax- so sorry about the BFN hun. I hope that's not the case but you still have made some good progress these last two months so I'm confident it will happen soon. 11 dpo is not officially out of the game though and temps are still up.

IF you don't get your BFP this cycle and still wonder why your temps are up- I have a theory...most likely I'm wrong but this is my theory: I've been wondering why my post-o temps were so much lower these past two cycles compared to the first 2 when I started temping. I'm thinking maybe since I know my hcg levels weren't back to 0 I wonder if my progesterone was still slightly elevated as well causing high temps. If you look at my chart I was above 98 on several days and now I can't even hit 98. Nothing else has changed except I know my levels are down now. Maybe your progesterone is still slightly elevated causing inflated temps? Just a theory. I hope it's b/c your BFP if coming in the next couple days but if not maybe that's the reason.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Rosa- that's great news! They aren't wasting any time which is good! I can't believe he was ready to start ASAP. Enjoy your vacation and have some wine- may be the last for a while!

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks hopeful. I think it is something like too and I am ok with that. I feel at peace with my body right now. Have had four glasses of wine tonight as believe the bfn. Watching Amy whinehouse tribute On mtv. Feel quite emotional but in a good way . Dh still away and can't wait til Sunday for him to come home.

Oh my word, READ THE POST, ROSA! Sorry...mrsmax, I'm sorry to hear about the bfn. 11 is still early.

pttc, FB blows. I'm so done with it. I can't even tell you how many people I have blocked. Probably more than I have unblocked at this point. Don't be jealous of her, though. Think about how hard her life will be...

Rosa- that's great news! They aren't wasting any time which is good! I can't believe he was ready to start ASAP. Enjoy your vacation and have some wine- may be the last for a while!

I KNOW! I can't believe how fast he was ready to go either! However, every single one of my appts has been quick, and he's ALWAYS on time, if not 5 minutes early. I never have to wait. It's a small clinic, so maybe that's why. He's very efficient, but I never feel rushed. It's perfect.

We're hitting the wineries when we visit dh's family. Can't wait! Then, it'll be NO more drinking while in the ivf process. Oh well, hopefully it'll be worth it!
