Felt like giving up, Got new hope!!

[Leetie13]

Lab - DH is really mad also that she basically wasted our time. She never said she couldn't do anything all she said was if she can't help me then she will refer me I didn't think that meant she wouldn't try. I think they said I have to go sign a records release so I can have my records. It's not just that I have to wait I just really had my heart set on things moving forward now I feel like I'm at square one. Thanks for hugs and the kind words I do feel in my heart I will be a mom one day.

Ttc -Thank you, I would drive across the country if it meant I could get some help. I told DH I feel like a drug addict trying to get a doctor to prescribe pain pills because that's kind of how the office made me feel when they said all tests will cost me and they need their money up front. I'm so happy for you and I will continue to pray that you get your bfp soon! Who knows maybe a miracle will happen and I will get pregnant like Xan without anything

Grrr, Leetie. That is so frustrating- I wish I could go down and yell at them for you.

I hope you find someone closer who can see you sooner, but September 2nd will be right around the corner. When you do find the doctor you want, don't let them bully you. I think it's natural to feel intimidated, but it's your health and you have a right to have the information you need. It's hard to get up the nerve to stand up to doctor offices, but if they are not helping you, what's the point? I wish we could somehow get you some clomid...

 

[Leetie13]

Thanks Xan. I know I need to learn to be more assertive. I get so nervous when I talk to people I forget what I'm even talking to them for lol. Dh asked if we could just buy clomid. I told him you can get it on the internet but that's not safe because you don't who or where or even what it is. But I wish it was simple like that.

 

[Leetie13]

Now FF gives me cross hairs. Oh well its to late for the post coitle test anyway.

 

[Leetie13]

I called a woman's hospital in pittsburgh that have fertility specialists. They take my insurance and I have an appointment Saturday morning. It's an hour away but I don't care. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that they will be able to help me. I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know how my luck goes. But I told the lady on the phone that I need it for fertility and she didn't say anything about insurance not covering it and their website says they accept my insurance.

Sorry I feel like I've taken over our thread lol.

 

[xanzaba]

Leetie- we've all been here during our times of crisis, so no need to apologize. I think it's great timing for you to see the doctor on Saturday, hopefully you'll be right in time to get things going for your next cycle, if, of course, this time didn't work out.

About the crosshairs- I say let bygones be bygones, the doctor doesn't seem to have been able to do anything for you anyway if the test had shown something. Sometimes things happen for a reason

and all my best wishes

 

[labgal]

No need to apologize at all, leetie! Its what we are here for that's great you got an appointment on Saturday - I really hope this doctor will be better than the last one. I feel like they will

I'm glad you got the cross hairs - maybe you'll luck out and not need to take meds or anything! One of my gf who tried for a while says the moment you completely give up and don't think it will happen, it happens.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

 

[xanzaba]

That's exactly what happened to me! DH and I had kind of forgotten that sex is supposed to lead to babies, and were in a holding pattern until we could start IUI.

 

[Leetie13]

Thanks Xan & Lab. I was really shocked they had an opening so soon. She said he had a cancelation if I wanted it. I thought it would be weeks before I could get in.

Here's a bump pic for you guys! I feel so huge already, it's crazy! This is 18 weeks. I'm kind of scared for 40!

 

[Leetie13]

Lab your bump is so cute! And your hot, I mean that in the most heterosexual way lol.

 

[xanzaba]

Completely agree with Leetie- you wear pregnant well!

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Leetie - I'm so sorry this doctor isn't working out, I can feel DH's frustration that she's wasting your time. Praying that Saturday's appointment leads to the best of things and hopefully with today's crosshairs you wont even need to see this new doctor!

Xan - Love love love that your numbers are going up!

Lab - Ahh you have the sweetest bump! You wear pregnancy amazing

 

[Leetie13]

And now they are gone. Ugh who knows. Hopefully the doctor tomorrow will have some insight on my charts.

Any fun plans for the weekend? Besides Dragonflies gender reveal!!

 

[xanzaba]

Good luck tomorrow, Leetie. I think it still looks like there was an O with the dip and then the steadier temps. Sometimes FF is a bit wonky- this month I had temps all over the place.

And so excited for dragonfly!

AFM- Saturday DH and I are going out for our 9 year wedding anniversary (it was Wednesday, but he was out of town). I can't believe it's been 9 years- where does the time go? I also have a massage gift certificate that I've been to busy to use, maybe I'll treat myself...

Besides that, I'm going to try to work a bit this weekend. Having a 10 week old puppy is not conducive to working. And watching her on my own has been exhausting.

 

[labgal]

Aww you ladies are too sweet, I feel like an unwieldy behemoth!

TTC, forgot to reply - sorry - My insurance covered the clomid with a copay so I'm not sure what the out of pocket cost is for it. They have a generic, though, so be sure to ask for that! They're always buckets cheaper.

Leetie - I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow!

Xan - happy anniversary! Congrats on 9 years! how are you feeling?

I can't wait to find out what baby dragonfly is!! Or baby lab - we find out monday

 

[Leetie13]

Xan - Happy anniversary! Ooo a massage sounds great.

Lab - Oh wow for some reason I thought your appointment was the 15. I can't believe how fast your and Dragonflies pregnancies seem to be going. It probably doesn't feel that fast you guys though.

Other than the doctors tomorrow I think were going out dinner sometime this weekend for my birthday. We usually go to dinner on my birthday but I wanted to celebrate at home.

 

[TTC n Hopeful]

Leetie- I'm so excited to see you got a different appointment!! I would so drive an hour too. My last dr appointment was at a weird place far away like 20 - 30 mins but I was determined so I put on the GPS and went for it lol. I can't wait to hear how it goes. And sounds like u may be right on track to start clomid soon if this cycle isn't your bfp. P.S. maybe ask about the hsg test before clomid and then that could help too. At least from what I've read.

Lab- I totally agree with the other ladies you look beautiful pregnant!! And that's ok. I got a text from Walmart and it's only $9. I think we might can handle that lol. All the other stuff (tests) have been covered except the clomid. Wow already gender time for you too?! Can't wait!!

Xan- happy anniversary! Hope you get to enjoy the massage.

Dragonfly- Can't wait to hear if there is a pink or blue Dragonfly on the way!!

AFM - the dye is finally gone and the pressure is gone in my tummy but I slept weird because of the pain and now have a catch in my hip. I'm falling apart over here lol. I've read some stuff and I think one of u even mentioned that the hsg test can help get bfp so I'm hoping that's what happens but if not I won't be bummed I'm so happy to have a plan of action and to know the chances are great that I will be a mommy. Oh how I dream of 2 pink lines and not on an opk lol. Well first I need it on the opk then the hcg lol. Can we tell I've been up all night? I'm sleep deprived and giddy hahaha. How amazing would it be if the last 2 of us finally got our bfp. We are gonna get there Leetie!!!

 

[TTC n Hopeful]

I forgot to tell y'all I'm starting a new adventure in my life! I'm not sure if any of you have heard of paparazzi jewelry but it's $5 jewelry AND starting August 23rd I will be a consultant. I'm so excited!! If any of you would want to connect on fb I would love for you to check it out. I know connecting on fb might take away from the anonymity of just being a tag line here tho so I totally understand if not. Just thought I would share my excitement hehe.

 

[xanzaba]

So exciting, Lab! I didn't realize it was so soon that you find out.

Doing well here, officially 5 weeks today based on last period. Tired, but not sure if that is the puppy or the pregnancy. Also, I didn't put 2 and 2 together, but I've had eczema, mainly on my fingertips and toes, my whole life. It flares up when I touch certain things, like when I swim in a pool or touch certain types of metal. Well, I thought that I must have touched something, because it was flaring up. But then I noticed patches on my elbows too. I looked it up and eczema flare ups are common in pregnancy.

I scheduled an appointment with an OBGYN for Tuesday. I need to find a doctor to prescribe me my synthroid and to check my thyroid function through pregnancy. Funny, the doctor that tested for thyroid issues can't prescribe me thyroid medication Then on the 18th I have my first ultrasound (gasp) to see the yolk sack and to try to hear the heartbeat. I think that's when it will start feeling real
