'Fab'ulous testers and supporters; 58 bfps

[mirandala]

Hi All!!

Sorry for the radio silence! The sweetie I'm dating took me away for my 30th birthday- it was the best birthday ever!! 3 Michelin star meal, fancy hotel, hot air balloon, wine tasting, diamond necklace! I feel so spoiled. It was enough to distract me from the news that my beta came back with an HCG of >1. So that's a BFN for me. My period came late, but arrived yesterday.

Since that's 5 round of IUIs unmedicated after the ectopic with no sign of pregnancy, I've booked in to see a fertility specialist so will be going on Thursday for an intake appointment. I'm overwhelmed by the financial cost of it all, though- $340 just for the intake appointment. I've already spent over 10,000 on frozen sperm and IUIs and I'm on a limited budget so I hope that whatever they recommend will be low cost.

In a couple of weeks I am going to be away taking care of my mother for a while and so I will not be able to try again until I'm back home in September. So it's a few months off for me now.

I hope all are well-- good luck for your BFP Ashley!!

 

[Mrs. MB]

Busy, busy day, haven't even had time to peek here since before lunch time. We're trying to buy a house and just qualifying for a mortgage around here requires signing over arm, leg and a first born that I don't even have yet...

FLArmyWife: Happy Birthday! Sorry about your mom not being supportive. I hope she's going to be supportive when you do tell her. Moms can very difficult though. I know I have one of those...

PinkPassion: So happy your baby looks good! Twins would be amazing! You're absolutely right though, the only thing that matters is that the baby is healthy.

Gwen: Welcome. I'm new myself and these ladies have been absolutely incredible.

Ashleyg: Good luck with your test. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Mirandala: Sorry you didn't get the present you wanted for your 30th. Sounds like you did get to have a magical day. The guy you are dating sounds like a keeper!

I didn't have the heart to buy another test yet... Going to NY Thursday for five days and that should keep me busy until AF time... Nothing ever came easy in my life so I don't think getting pregnant round 1 would be my story.

 

[ashleyg]

miranda - thank you! I hope things are okay with your mom!

Mrs. MB - thanks girly! Good luck with the house!!

 

[ashleyg]

You guys I am SO beyond nervous to test tomorrow. I am almost tempted to just wait until AF shows up :/ I feel like I should get a positive this cycle because everything felt lined up...but I'm still scared to see a negative

 

[TheTiebreaker]

It's gonna be ok Ashley! We are here for you either way!!!! FX this is your month!

 

[ashleyg]

Thanks Tie! I have felt positive all month but idk...I guess it's just worry that is taking over now!

If you're not up to test then don't. There's no rule saying you have to test early, you do what's right for you. We will all find out soon enough one way or the other. Everyone here is on your side!! I can't wait to see your BFP no matter when it comes (Fx it's this month )

 

[Mrs. MB]

Ashley, if you test tomorrow and it's a negative doesn't mean you're out, just means you need to test again in a few days... It's going to be stressful until you get that BFP... Everyone is here for you regardless of the result and for all the future ones, hopefully all good! Regardless of what you do lots of hugs to you.

 

[jessalex]

Good luck tomorrow Ashley!! Can't wait to see your test if you decide to do it!! Isn't it tough - the wanting desperately to know, but terrified of a bfn!! Go with what you feel comfortable with. I always just wanted to know either way so I was prepared if AF was going to turn up. We are here for you whatever you decide!!
Pink - so great to hear that the pregnancy is looking good and baby (or baby's :wink wink is/are doing well. So relieved for you!
Corn - thanks for advice (was about 5 pages ago now!!) I think I will definitely take the opportunity to pamper myself and then look towards my August cycle.
Flarmy - hope the ms has stayed away today and baby listened to you. Also wishing you a lovely birthday
5 stars - sorry to hear your news Really hoping you get your positive next time!! So mean of your body to trick you like that, it makes the arrival of AF so much harder
Pato - hopefully you are about to ovulate really soon, and it is obvious for you with your cm. Do you ever use opks? Or, even better, and hubby is right and you are already preggo!!! Also, I used pre-seed this last cycle and got my bp, so might be something to try??

Good luck everyone, I so love this thread!

Hi jessalex, thanks so much....Im ok I just know im one step closer to my BFP now ....I can't let this get me down just pick up and move on to cycle #6....I will be on vacation in a couple of days so it will make things a lot better

How is everything with you hun

 

[5starsplus1]

Ashley don't stress yourself....I totally understand getting nervous and not wanting to test b/c of fear of seeing a BFN....take as long as you need to, we wil still be here

 

[5starsplus1]

Ur Dr is grest for giving you clomid only after 3 months of trying [/QUOTE]

For some reason I need help with all my pregnancy go I guess that's why she did it.my first 2 I used fertility Blend for 2 weeks and end up pregnant. Well I think I am on 2dpo the pain was cd14 and that's when I got a positive on that Saturday. So I guess I am 2dpo. I should start temping[/QUOTE]

Oh ok gotcha....who recommended fertility blend, the Dr? If it wrked why did they switch you to clomid? just curious

I'm sorry. I hope there is a good low cost option

Thank you. I think she will eventually come around but for the beginning she will give me an ear full about the future I'm sure.
I hope AF never shows for you

You guys I am SO beyond nervous to test tomorrow. I am almost tempted to just wait until AF shows up :/ I feel like I should get a positive this cycle because everything felt lined up...but I'm still scared to see a negative

it's ok. if you don't want to test you don't have to sweetie

Flarmy - hope the ms has stayed away today and baby listened to you. Also wishing you a lovely birthday
Good luck everyone, I so love this thread!

AFM.... I'm CD17 today and my temps went to 36.7 this morning....based on the last 5 days temps my app gave me crosshairs on Monday and made that the day I O'd...making me 2 DPO....it also estimated my O date from :
Rhythm method....Saturday....making me 4 DPO
Temps......Monday....making me 2DPO
CM.....Today....(bc I have a slight bit of EWCM/slippery)...making me O today...which makes no sense bc my temps have already risen...so I would think I O'd yesterday instead

Soooooo, in short I have no idea where I am in my cycle except that its definitely CD17....

Which date would you ladies choose....I have got to order some OPKs for next month bc I doubt I will have a bfp this cycle....

Well to keep yourself from testing to early you can go with today... then if AF doesn't show and you test you MIGHT be more dpo than originally thought.
