blue eyes- im so sorry

 

[diliapickle]

So sorry blue eyes!

 

[Nicker]

Have a or three

Geesh...I never understand how an entire cycle can be out because the RE is out of town or on vacation. I mean I get that they need breaks too but someone should back up, right?

Drink rye? What is that? Only thing that comes to mind is rye bread.

Oh yeah. Rye is a Canadian thing. If I were in the states I would order crown royal. (whiskey). Crown Royal is good quality rye.

I live in a small centre. We are very lucky to even have an RE that is willing to be here. He isn't jut an OB who does IUIs. I don't begrudge him an Easter break. He deserves it.

Quick question. With the acupuncture where do they put the needles?

When I was going I had needles in my ankles, inner knees, around my belly and in the top of my head! hey, whatever works/helps, right?

 

[mamadreams]

Nicker I have had needles in my ankles, shins, belly area, wrists, pinky fingers, the skin between the thumb and first finger, on my back for the kidneys and liver, calves, head... The accupunturist will look at your tongue and feel your pulse and ask you if you have any issues that have been bothering you and place needles accordingly.

Hi Ladies,

sorry I havent been on here for a while....been going through a rough time.

first, i was 15dpiui when i tested with a dollarstore test and it was neg. but got a positive beta feel free to pass this onto anyone who it may help!

AFM, ive been having some cramping and this morning, super sharp pains followed by bleeding. I went to the clinic and they said its too early to say at this point but that they arent ruling out miscarrage or etopic at this point. Got my bloods done again and they did rise but not doubled to 1789. I go back on friday (the 2nd anniversary of my sisters suddent passing) for another bloodtest and another ultrasound next wed...ive been a mess all day. The dr. confirmed that I had a large cysit on my right side burst so im hoping that this is the reason for the pain and bleeding...but i wont know anything really until another week....argh....worst week...

Im going back now to catch up on what ive missed with everyone. Hope you are all doing well!

 

[DaisyQ]

Equal. fx it's just the cyst that's bothering you. Sticky vibes...

Accupuncture - they do my lower legs/inner calves, feet, lower tummy, between the thumb and forefinger, top of my head, and one time my forehead, between my eyes, and my ear.

Hi Equal - I had some bleeding too but at week 7 - it was called a subchorionic hemmorage - completely normal, but I totally freaked out and went to the ER. They didn`t do an ultrasound but told me miscarriages are common... I didn`t feel any better until I went to the frertility clinic the next day and they did an ultrasound and confirmed the baby was fine and all was normal. I am really hoping for good news for you - espcially on the anniversary of your sister`s passing.

Hi Ladies,

Just updated myself.

Nicker and Blue eye...im so sorry. I was rooting for you both.

Nicker - I know exactly how you are feeling and sometimes we need to feel like crap for a few days to get it out of our bodies. I dont know if this info is helpful at all but I know that most clinics have financing options available for ivf. DH and I were looking into it ourselves.

Blueeyes, Im sorry about your BFN, please dont give up hope!

Everyone else, Im looking forward for more BFPs!

remember: we are tigers, and we have earned our stripes

 

[Equal]

oh and I had needles in one of my ear lobes, on my tummy and my feet

Oh Equal. I'm so sorry you are having a rough week with the bleeding and the upcoming anniversary of your sisters passing (so sorry for your loss). This early weeks are the worse when your pregnancy fate relies on these test results. I am so hoping this week turns around for you. You have definitely earned your stripes, girl!

 

[fertilesoul]

Blue eyes and Nicker: so sorry for your BFNs. Hugs and still keeping hope alive for a soon to be BFP.

 

[daydream]

Equal - FX that it's just from the cyst and you get good news your next visit

 

[drsquid]

equal- fingesr crossed. thinking of you

 

[daydream]

Had an amusing moment today. Went to GNC to get more fertility blend for men for DH. The guy at the register actually asked, "Oh so do these work?" I looked at my not-pregnant stomach, back at him, and said "Well we haven't seen that yet."

Really? I just left and had to laugh. That poor guy was clueless.

 

[drsquid]

Yep no fun to walk down the aisle with all the pregnancy related products to get the prenatals either!

I have a huge bottle of prenatals, so I'm good there, didn't have to buy more today. I did also stop by whole foods to get a separate folic acid after reading more about the MTHFR mutation. I am hetero for the mutation (A222V), which I thought would only impact once we actually got pregnant (our RE would give us a really strong supplement). But to be extra careful while TTC, I am bumping up my daily dose to 2mg between the 800mcg in my prenatal, 800mcg in a separate folic acid supplement, and 400mcg in my B complex.

 

[Nicker]

I get my prenatal with a prescription. It is pregvit folic 5. It is two pills. Since calcium and iron compete with each other for absorption you take one in the morning and one in the evening. They have 5mg of folic acid in them too. Since they are a prescription, my drug plan pays for them. I had to be taking 5mg of follicular acid daily for at least 3 months before ttc because of years taking methotrexate which strips the body of folic acid. I started the coq10 with omega 3 today. I am also going to make sure I do b50 complex too. Bring on the neon pee!!!!

 

[Nicker]

Oh yeah. Morning prenatal is pink and evening is blue and they come in a blister pack book like thing
