Felt like giving up, Got new hope!!

[Leetie13]

Test was negative

I'm ok though I knew it would be. My temps been dropping and I've had some really painful af cramps for a few days. But at least I O'd and didn't have any weird spotting in the middle of my cycle.

I will stop the progesterone and af will probably be here soon.

Leetie, I'm sorry this was not your BFP cycle, but it seems like the new meds are doing the trick. Fx'ed that evasive second line is just around the corner.

TTC- have you avoided the witch?

AFM- I'm doing okay. I used an internet cheapie yesterday to see what's happening with my HCG, and it's still positive, but getting lighter. I have to wait until the HCG is out of my system until I can ovulate again, but I started temping again. No bd'ing until next Thursday, when I have my check-up- DH and I can hardly wait. It's kind of fun, building up the suspense. We're going to go out for dinner after the appointment, and then we'll come back to a quiet evening at home.

 

[Leetie13]

Xan - I'm glad you're doing ok. I hope the hcg leaves soon so you can get back to trying. Your plans for after the appointment sound perfect.

 

[TTC n Hopeful]

Leetie - sorry to see it was negative hopefully this next cycle will happen for us!

Xan - glad to see you are doing OK. Hope Thursday comes soon! I didn't avoid the witch.

AFM - the witch caught me yesterday. 16 day lp ugh. Is that even normal? Last month was 16 days too. I started at 12 then went to 14 now 16, goodness. And besides having this lovely monthly visitor we are attempting to move last minute. So stressful. I keep a headache, constant stressing and worrying. I'm giving it to God and asking Him to guide my steps to where we are meant to be. Out apartment complex has new owners and recently gave us a notice that we missed a payment in July 2012! So they have added on fees and tell us we owe them $2600. We paid with money order so trying to prove it 3 years later is impossible. Plus a couple of weeks ago there was a random shooting so maybe this is a sign to get out of here! It's a really nice apartment but I think it's time to go. Keep us in your prayers. Thanks ladies!

 

[xanzaba]

TTC- Good luck with the move! Sometimes the signs are there to move on. I'm sure you'll be happy in your new place, and maybe the new place will have better baby-making mojo!

As for LP, 16 isn't too much higher than the average (14). I usually have a 15 day LP, and the doctor said it was ideal and he wasn't concerned about my progesterone.

Leetie, how did the wedding go?

AFM- Last week I got the keys to my new office, and today they are delivering my computer. I'm really excited to start. Since we moved I've been working from home, but with everything going on I haven't been really motivated. I think this is the motivation I need to get back on track.

Besides that, I am trying to eat healthier and exercise. Right before I had my BFP I had gained some weight, and I want to be in good shape for my double-rainbow baby. It's been hard because I'm not allowed to swim until my check up (8 more days), and swimming not only is my favorite exercise, but also my way of re-centering. But I have been going to the gym in our apartment and I found a group-on for a yoga studio around here.

 

[Leetie13]

Ttc - I think 16 day LP is still within normal range but if your concerned call and ask your doctor. Have you looked into finding one that prescribes femara yet? Good luck with the move, it sounds like it's the right time for it and line Xan said maybe it will have magical baby making powers lol.


Xan - I'm glad you have something to look forward to. I hope your appointment goes well and you get the clear to swim. I can imagine being in florida makes it really hard not to swim.


Afm - AF is fully here and my cramps have been on and off bad. I'll be fine for a little then all of a sudden I get horrible cramps. But they usually only last a couple days.

 

[TTC n Hopeful]

Thanks ladies!

Xan - i love swimming too, but the water doesnt get warm enough where we are to really swim. It still geta cold at night so the water is still cold i hope you love your new office, how exciting!

Leetie - I haven't called to find another dr. I will once we know where we re moving. We are planning to move an hour away from where we are living now. Sorry about your cramps. I hope they are long gone now. I only had a 1 day visitor this cycle. DF said today, are u sure u aren't pregnant, u smell things I can't smell and everything stinks to u lol. Highly unlikely but I'm testing when I wake up just to make sure. I just took day 4 of clomid so I would be upset with myself for not checking before if I am. I doubt that I am because even tho it was only 1 day I still had a little but of actual red, mostly brown but some red. We will see tomorrow lol. We are supposed to see an apartment, condo and house tomorrow too. We haven't had very much luck. Quite a few places keep saying we JUST rented out the last one so send some prayers and positive vibes our way. I know God has a plan, just waiting to see what it is. He will lead us exactly where we are supposed to be.

 

[xanzaba]

Good luck, TTC, on all fronts!

AFM- almost got my Negative HPT. Onwards and upwards!

 

[Leetie13]

Ttc - Good luck with the house hunting, I hope you guys find the perfect place. Did you test again? The short af might be because clomid thins your uterine lining so you might not have much to shed. That's one of the bad side effects of clomid.

Hopefully you will get your new place and a new doctor soon!



Xan - Yay for almost negative, does that mean you can start trying thus cycle or are you waiting another?



Afm - AF is pretty much gone. Tomorrow is my last day of femara then the long wait until O.

 

[xanzaba]

Leetie, I'll be right there on the TWW! We're supposed to wait 2 cycles, but I think we're going to let nature take its course. We do have to wait until I get the okay to bd from the doctor on Thursday.

 

[Leetie13]

Xan - fx the doc gives you the go ahead!

 

[xanzaba]

Hi Leetie, TTC- just wanted to send you a TTC can be draining, but I'm so glad I have you girls to help go through it, and I hope you feel the same. We ARE on our way to our forever babies

 

[labgal]

Xan - I hope you got the go ahead or will soon from your doc.. Third time is a rainbow baby... Fx!

Leetie, how was the wedding? How is the femara treating you? Any s/e compared to clomid?

Ttc - you are so strong and amazing! I know how hard it is, but it will be worth it and you will see your bfp soon, I know it!

Sorry for the long delays ladies. I started my new job and am just really exhausted. I always am checking in and thinking about you all and waiting for bfps! Little man will be 6 months old in 5 days, I can't believe it!

 

[xanzaba]

Lab- great to hear from you! I can't believe he is 6mos already!

We'll see tomorrow what the doc says. I'm pretty sure I'll get the go ahead. At this point, I just want to get in some bd'ing!

 

[Leetie13]

Lab - Wow 6 months already that's crazy! The wedding was great. It did rain which put a little damper on dancing but they did the first dance and the special dances under the tent then eventually everyone said screw it and we danced in the rain it was fun. When it got dark we did the gender reveal fireworks and they are having a girl. I can't remember if I told you guys that or not lol. They both really thought it was a boy and so did most people but I voted girl

How is the new job going? Do you like it?

As for the femara so far the worst symptom is headaches but if I take advil when it starts they go away. I've had a few hot flashes but not bad like the clomid.

I was having a bad day a few nights ago and I cried because I only have a few chances with the femara before I have to be referred to a specialist again and I know the next step is iui which is around 2500. I got so upset thinking about how we're going to have to save up just for 1 round. But I know we will figure it out if it comes to that and I need to try and not stress so much.

 

[xanzaba]

Oh, Leetie If the meds are working, and you are ovulating regularly, you should probably only need a few cycles. Your BFP will be there. After 2 1/2 years of trying I never thought I'd see that second line. I had plenty of dark days, and fortunately had you ladies to help. I hope that I can repay the favor

 

[labgal]

That sounds like a beautiful night, leetie

I'm sorry, I know how much of a struggle it has been. You will get your bfp! Like Xan said, now that you have a few Os behind you, your body should have an easier time. Had the docs said before if you had any kind of abnormal thyroid reading?

I thought we were going to have to do iui too, but just when I was fully convinced we got pregnant so that's probably how it will happen for you, too!

 

[xanzaba]

The doctor gave me the okay, we bd'ed last night, and tonight I had a EWCM. Fx'ed. I know it's tempting fate to try again so early, and fate has not been on our side, but even a broken clock is right twice a day!

 

[Leetie13]

Xan - you ladies have more than repayed the favor. I would feel so alone of it wasn't for all of you. I don't know anyone in person who can relate at all to what I'm going through. It's so nice to just be able to get on here and vent and not feel like I'm just being emotional or irrational.

Yay for the ok to BD!


Lab - I hope the same happens for me too. I'm convinced I'm going to have to pay the 20 thousand for ivf to get pregnant. And that kind of money would take a miracle.

 

[TTC n Hopeful]

Hi ladies! Sorry ive been MIA. Life has been hectic.

Xan - i am so thankful for u ladies too, im so glad we found each other. Great news being able to start bd'ing again!!

Leetie - iui may not be your next step. My friend that just got pregnant wasnt ovulating she started the meds and finally started ovulating and she just got the trigger shot and got pregnant the first try. The trigger shot was $100. Im keeping my fingers crossed for u!!

Lab - i cant believe its been 6 months. Time flies by.

AFM - im on cd 12. I did retest but it was negative. Ive been in a bad place mentally these last few weeks because of all that is going on. We got denied for one apartment because I had a broken lease in GA when my ex refused to follow the restraining order. However, we found out yesterday we got approved for a gorgeous apartment. We are hoping to sign the lease today and then it will feel real lol. We cant move in till the 7th so everything is going in storage, we are going on vacation to see my family in GA then we will move when we get back. Plus the thing im most excited about is i will finally have a washer and dryer. I cant even tell u how excited i am lol. Things are looking up, hopefully next comes the bfp!! I wanted to thank you ladies again, I suffer from some mild depression and bad anxiety from time to time and just having people that listen and understand my struggle means the world to me. Thank you. I hope once we all have babies we continue to keep in touch. I dont personally know any of you but i feel like i do. Now I will take my emotional self to sleep lol.
