I hate her...

[SweetPotatoPi]

Holy shite Bkrispy! Um, yeah, you need some serious sloshing . After you get the tests done do you know how long it will take to get results in? I hope this is something easily fixable and not so serious doll.

 

[JViti]

Mine has walked in on me too. I know he saw-
He started laughing like it was the most hilarious thing he ever saw. Wow. What do you say to that????
New years! Having a couple friends over and we are gonna get SLOSHED, or at least I plan to.
I am not sure if it's everyone else's plan really. But I'm gonna make that Jolly Rancher Vodka that spread around pinterest a couple years ago. Been meaning to try it since, but I'm not much of a drinker. I prefer drugs. Lol
Gotta go in for blood work this week. Doc is concerned but won't say what. There was white blood cells in my urine, and I have been getting red spots on my skin that could mean I have an issue in my blood.
I did a little googling but not too much, I don't want to freak myself out. So anemia maybe. Or at least that's what I hope. Leukemia was the other word that came up, but I can't even think it.
That would be end of baby journey forever. My husband is felon so adoption is out of the question. I'd hate to fight for all these years just saving for IVF only to find out the year I get to try is the year I am out of the picture. Oh I just can't think of it at all.
Anyway, enough poor me. Seriously, cause I can't think that way. Can't wait for tomorrow night. I need it. LOL

I'll be praying for u here in Boston!! Hopefully its just a false alarm and nothing serious!! Let us know honey!!

I love this group....no judgement, no stress....I am held in my pain and fear about this for so long, that you have no idea how nice it is to laugh. 10 years is a long time to wish for a baby and I know I was blessed with 2......but I just want ONE more. A little girl to balance things. Im crying now and I have been afraid to cry or even show emotion about the TTC for so long. I know I dont get to post, but I am reading and laughing my butt off....and I need that right now.

I thought when they found the cyst that it was over for me. But now, I dont thing that. I am still working on my weight, I may get gastric sleeve, but i until then I am trying and see where I get. If I get pregnant before the surgery, obviously, i wont do it.

I feel like there is hope now. Thanks to all of you.

This tounge in cheek humor is just what the doctor ordered.

I am wondering with my weight if I should increase it...the vitex. Anything else I should add?? I am also doing Vit C, Vit D3, multi and dong quai, but I have to be honest and tell you that I dont do it everyday.

 

[JViti]

oh yeah, everytime I feel shitty about this whole thing, or my SIL pregnancy is discussed, I go back to the beginning and read EVERYTHING here. I always end up laughing and feeling better!! So yeah, my appt is in 17 days...i cant believe im counting down to it, its not lie its my egg retrieval or anything, just coming up with a plan and putting IVF through insurance to make sure its covered. It effing better be or ill be going down to the insurance company with a rifle that I steal from one of my gangbanger clients. Better make sure I'm high first tho...then I can use drugs and crime of passion as a defense and get off easy lol.

It does feel good to laugh and cry and scream and, and, and doesn't it? And you've been working on having another baby for ten years? Fuck it girl, let it all out . On the Vitex dosage, yeah, get on that pony every day girly . It's a slow-acting herb but very powerful; maybe try a cycle with the dosage you're doing now to see how things go and increase/decrease as necessary? Are you temping/charting? I can see definite erratic temps that correspond to when my hormones freak out or even temps when things are calm. And yes indeed, getting your health tip-top will be great all the way around for you. What kinds of exercise do you enjoy? What's your diet like?

Praying here in PA too. I've freaked myself out one too many times with Google. Yet I keep going back to it. Completely agree Napua 17. I've gone back and reread some of the posts that just made me laugh to the point of tears. Everything with TTC can be so emotional in a negative sense. It's nice to be able to joke about it. It brings a sense of calm. Especially when the jokes are just centered on the unfairness of the things we see around us - those whose bodies seem most hostile to growing a child seem to be the most fertile. Oy vey.

Yes indeed! It's so nice to be able to break sometimes from the intensity of it all, the tears and anger and despair and just laugh damnit. Hurting all the time gets old as hell . I have a very, unique we'll say , sense of humor and I just love how we just let those freak flags fly here . Ya'll crack me up lol.

oh yeah, everytime I feel shitty about this whole thing, or my SIL pregnancy is discussed, I go back to the beginning and read EVERYTHING here. I always end up laughing and feeling better!!

Hell, it's an exciting time! After they've been dicking around with approving your IVF and now it seems like you can get this train in motion finally, I'd be counting down too . Hell, I am counting down too . You'd think it was my egg retrieval . I must say though, using the drugs and crime of passion defense only works for politicians and the filthy rich .

And hells yes, I'm all in for a 2014 BFP!!

[Napua17]

Sweet Potato, No I forgot everything about temping, I would love to do it it if someone would help teach me again.

Today is 8 days after my last dose of Provera, no AF yet, but I still have time, I am going to make an appointment with my Doc today. This is the longest Cycle I have had ever, I am at day 87 of this cycle.

Once I get my AF, the plan is to temp....practicing and to take mini pill to regulate my period and help get rid of any cysts I may have on my remaining ovary. 3 months. Durring those 3 months I am going back to the gym, starting with walking....treadmill and weights for toning. I have lost 35 pounds and I know loosing another 20 may turn everything around for me.

After 3 months, coming off the pill should give me a fertility boost and my big try will be April, for my december baby.

My diet....um.....well.....its not good. I eat whatever is fast or whatever from where ever my family wants.

I lost the weight from drinking shakes with 25 grams protein and adding protein to my diet. I have to get more disciplined if I want to loose more. I have a salad today, so I will have to have a shake for protein or a whey shot.

I will take what ever advice and help I can get.....I love learning and I am not afraid to admit, that I dont have it together.

I do have that clear-blue Fertility monitor machine. Ill use that when I stop the mini pill.

 

[Bkrispy]

New insurance finally kicked in. Woot wooot. It still doesn't cover IVF (no tubes.. so I need it) but it does cover some infertility related stuff so Maybe I can get a bit of help.
I'm wondering if maybe I can get them repaired- even though I was told no by the OB who took them (damn bitch...) I don't have high hopes for it- but that cost is covered by insurance so it might be worth a try. But from what I hear my abdomenn is "plastered" together by scar tissue. Thanks crap doctor who took my fertility from me. I will hate her for eternity.
Especially when I see her around town with her beautiful identical twin daughters.. Blah

So new years was good here. I think
I don't remember- but husband looks like he got his ass kicked. Apparently he fell up some starts and was shot by an airsoft pistol. Yep- sounds like him. All the while I was sleeping on the bathroom floor (yep- sounds like me...)
I gotta learn to handle my liquer better

This is your year, and you need to believe it with all your heart.

Forgive the doctor, it will make this child so much more of a miricle. And if you budget and watch your pennies, you can make it happen.

I have faith for you......

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Napua: The book Taking Charge of Your Fertility is an excellent resource as well. Loooooove that book. On diet, I've found that moderation is key for me. I think following a no grain/high fat diet for a little over a year is part of what landed me here in hormonal hell so no more extremes for me. Anything with even a whiff of faddyness to it I would run screaming far away from. Most important is to try things and figure out what works for you. We love soups and soda/seltzer water and juice as well . We juice also and try to have lots of fresh veggie juice in the house at all times Just got through juicing lemons and ginger and 25lbs of carrots last night; our 'fridge looks like a juice stand . We eat everything in moderation here and garbage isn't off limits we just eat really healthily most of the time. Prepping and cooking your food at home is going to be a real time, money, and calorie saver for you . Oooh, and there's a plethora of exercise regiments you can start. Personally I run and do yoga. Pick something/some things and give it a go! Don't worry about being perfect about it or not being very strong right now, that'll come, so do what you can. In the journal I follow of another poster on BnB someone commented on the FitBit and that looks cool. I also want to get back to hula hooping as I had so much fun with this when I was a kid . As I think of more things I'll post . And ask away, we're here for ya girly! Oh! A good hula hooping video :

Sweet, sweet fitness

Not sure whythe actual video won't show up . Oh well! Linky still works lol.

Excellent! Glad the insurance has kicked in Bkrispy . And definitely no harm in getting a second opinion on whether your tubes can be repaired . Why did the OB feel they needed to be taken originally?

I had two ectopic pregnancies rupture. Crazy to think if I had this same insurance back then, they would have paid for EVERYTHING and I would likely have baby by now
IVF is excluded, but I'm thinking other things could get covered for IVF and coded as diagnostic ?? Maybe the monitering? Anyone have experience with that? Way excited at the chance to get some help though, regardless of how much.

 

[Napua17]

GOOd morning ladies.....sorry this has to be short, someone got let go today, so I dont want to waste time.

GOOD NEWS!!! My period finally started!!! Day one of Birth control mini pill for me and my 3 month time frame starts. I am so relieved.

Soups, GREAT IDEA and salad in a jar!!! I read everyone's response and will take ALL the advice you gave me. I appriciate it!

TCOYF, I owned it, took it to the gym and lost it. I guess I will order another copy.

I will look into FItBit. Going to the gym just to start walking. I WAS a ballerina a LONG time ago, so I am going to add ballet exercises in because I can start low and work my way up.

I am soaking up all the advice but I agree that preparing my own food and soups will be the key to my success.

BBL Ladies, Cant do my drugs today until work is done. LOL. THANK YOU.

 

[JViti]

Napua17 Yeah baby!!!! Ibet you have NEVER been so excited to see the wicked witch visit!!! So excited for you!!!!

BKrispy Its crazy that insurance wont cover IVF. In Massachusetts, infertility coverage is mandated and includes IVF. (Move to Boston...best hospitals, IVF coverage, AND GOOD DRUGS!!) If only it were that easy of an option. Do you live in the US? What state?

SweetPotatoPi I have tried dieting SOOOO many times, I have tried the lifestyle changes and everything. I have PCOS and insulin resistance. My new RE told me that this, with the medication I am on for my bipolar disorder, makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE for me to lose weight. He says the metformin should help, but that my brain tells my body that it NEEDS carbs, so I crave carbs. And that even if I do eat totally healthy, the insulin resistance would mess everything up. So, I am now on 1500 mg of metformin. Well see how that helps.

Becky That book would be amazing!! I am so ready for fame, AND I am ready for my Jesse Spencer hot tub private sessions!!! oh baby!!

I'm so sorry B, two EP's . US "healthcare" is such bullshit .

Ugh, PCOS sounds like such a bitch Jenn . FX that the Metformin does some good!

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

I'm feeling some type of way today; don't want to do jack crap . I need a spa day .

 

[JViti]

PCOS is a bitch. It causes testosterone to be high, which means I have to drag out the razor more times than I care to admit and the acne is unbearable. I use to be a size 0, clear skin everything. Now I'm a size 17, have acne, and wax my face...lovely.

ANd I agree on the spa day!! As long as there is coke involved. lol

 

[Napua17]

Napua17 Yeah baby!!!! Ibet you have NEVER been so excited to see the wicked witch visit!!! So excited for you!!!!

LOL Never in my whole life was I glad to see her!!!

 

[Babydance]

You know i dont understand how anyone could possibly get angry at you for those thoughts. I cannot comment on infertility personally, but seriously as a woman i can completely understand 100% all those emotions you are feeling there. Hun ride it out dont bottle anything up and if i were you i would actually tell her! Otherwise itll maybe be the elephant in the room? You will get your baby, which im sure you are sick to death of people saying!! But it'll happen. Be gentle on yourself!!! xxxx

 

[Bkrispy]

Well my husbands raise put us over the income limit for usda loans for my family size. So my baby fund has to go to down payment. I'm out now, likely permanently- I don't know if I'll ever be able to save enough. I keep having to give it up I'm gonna go crawl in a hole
