Fall is here...now to plant my little pumpkin seed!!!

[beaglemom]

I feel okay. I just need some time to let my brain and body relax. Eating good food for lunch which always makes me feel better and going out tonight with my husband to buy gifts and our ornament.

Minuet- I remember my first cycle on clomid. My hopes were sooo high. I mean my dh and I had a bfp in January without any assistance so how could we not get pregnant with 3 good sized eggs, a trigger for timing, and a great seman analysis wash. I mean the sperm is right there. I thought there was no doubt. Then second cycle came and I blamed my first cycle fail on our not so relaxing vacation (we walked for miles and miles). Then my second cycle I was more relaxed but lots of hope knowing the timing is much better and I could relax. Nope bfp.

This time when we did iui I was hopeful but prepped for a failed cycle. After the iui I asked the np if we could go over everything and make a plan for next month. So we planned on femara with trigger and iui. She also said dh sperm count improved so much that we didn't really need iui but it would improve our chances. I went on my way thinking why would this time work if the last two didnt. I even made an appointment with a fertility specialist. I have kept my appointment because I fear the result of this ultrasound.

I really think you are going to have a positive result and even if you don't see anything on the ultrasound that often means it was just done too early.

It is crazy sometimes how the cycle with the biggest chance of success can fail and vice versa. Still, Clomid is supposed to increase chances only up to the usual odds of 20%, however first rounds of Clomid have the highest success rate. So? I don't know.

I can tell you that I am reluctant to plan a couple day overnight visit to friends over New Years, since that is about the time a period would show up and emotions would be in turmoil. Hope vies with reality.

How are your HCG numbers doing? Are they still doubling? I am sorry you still don't have a solid answer on what's going on.

 

[FutureBabyG]

They just said left tube ectopic ruptured.. they are puzzled why I never had or have pain. Possibly medication or surgery Stat they said.

 

[floridasian]

Oh no - are you still in the hospital? I'm glad you didn't have any pain but that's really unusual that you had an ectopic with a ruptured tube but no pain. Did you have any bleeding at all?

 

[FutureBabyG]

They don't think the tube has ruptured just the pregnancy is causing a slight leak. no bleeding no pain no cramps nothing.. they are doing Stat betas and a pelvic examine soon.. after that I will know if I am going to surgery or not.

 

[FutureBabyG]

They are checking me in and doing exploratory lap.

 

[floridasian]

Praying for you, FutureBabyG!!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Thanks Floridasian. I appreciate everything.

 

[minuet]

so very sorry to hear that FuturebabyG. I was praying for it to work out for you.

Thanks ladies surgery went really well doctor said it was just in the accepting part of the fallopian tube so he had to remove it. He said it had started to leak which caused blood in my abdomen. He is astonished I had no pain he said i should have been in er a few days ago in the fetal position by the size and leaking. I honestly felt nothing so that scares me. He said we can start trying mid January again once I bleed. This time he said betas every 48 to 72 hours and once greater then 2000 need ultrasound immediately.

 

[beaglemom]

FBT glad you are ok. And I'm sorry.

14 is the number ladies.

 

[beaglemom]

Here are my ornaments. The first is the one my husband bought me last year.

I'm so sorry you had to go through all that! It sounded like a really scary experience. I hope you're OK now. And the good thing is you can try again in Jan so you're not wasting too much time.

Take care of yourself!

14 is gotta be the highest number retrieved that I've seen!

Get excited!!

Oh and I LOVE your ornaments! Great idea!

beaglemom 14 sounds like a ton! Good job ovaries! I think your ornaments are adorable too.

FutureBabyG I'm so sorry, and I'm glad that you are ok.

Well I'm getting anxious and hopeful as the signs are pointing to ovulation being right around the corner.
Last night I got hit with fatigue which is really weird as I never take naps, and then later on got hit with a wave of amorous feelings. Apparently I experienced that increased sex drive around ovulation that they always talk about.
Today I noticed the constant ovary pain had bumped up a few notches from annoying to very noticeable. AND my opk this afternoon was as dark as it was the day before I ovulated in the July cycle.
SO maybe tomorrow or the next day?!? This time though we will be safe and keep BD EOD until my temp stays good and high for a few days at least.

miuet - I hope you get your positive OPK soon with a strong o!

beaglemom - update us on your fertilization report. When will you get the results back on the PGS?

BFN for me this morning. If my cycle is back to before I started the meds and I'm back to my 13-day LP then CD1 will be Sunday and since I need to start the meds on CD2 it means I will need to order the meds by Friday the latest. I will be 12 DPO then. This is why I tested early. If I don't get a BFP by Friday morning I'm going to have to shell out the $1K for meds.

I will have to sit down with my doctor when I go in to discuss future plans. I'm thinking maybe 2 more cycles of injectables then possibly moving into IVF. With a mmc and two chemicals I'm thinking IVF with PGS might be our best bet.

Floridasian your chart looks lovely as always and I hope you get your bfp by Friday. Were your other bfps early, as in before 14dpo?
