[twinkie2]

Welcome ladies, you have all been added. Good luck to everyone!

Cheeky-awesome for 2 chances in July! I just looked and IF cycle is as ususal, I will have 2 shots at July as well! I can't believe I hadn't even realized that yet. AF is due July 4th, then July 31st, hoping I don't even have to think about the 31st one though

kwynia-yay for o near your anniversary, have fun!

n.miller-hope you are at your appointment right now getting some answers!! Please update when you have a chance, I am very curious about the whole process

Ok so appointment went smooth, thank God. We left at 6:15 after DH took care of obtaining his sample. He was freaking out a bit because they don't unlock the doors till 7:00am and they stressed getting his sample there within the hour so he went straight to the lab while I went to check in.

They did blood work to check hormone levels. Only 1 vial instead of 13. Then a quick ultrasound to make sure I didn't have any cysts. No cysts present and a healthily 15 or so follicles per ovary.

At check out they did say we had a balance but could pay it when we could. DH thinks end of the month. And they didn't even ask for my copay. I was so relieved. We were home by 8 am and went back to bed. DH works from 2-11 so I knew he needed sleep. I took a short nap. Now getting ready to go to the pharmacy to fill these prescriptions. FX they don't kill the bank account.

As for meds, I'm on 5mg of femara for the next five days instead of clomid. I that .25 mg of dexamethasone for about 30 days, and I have to order the Ovidril shot. Next apt is Wednesday the 18th for my HSG. And I'll be scheduling an apt for cd12 on the 20th for another ultrasound to determine when I take the Ovidril.

In the mean time, I plan to spend the rest of this week doing laundry and packing, followed by lots of during the non fertile part of my cycle for pure pleasure and relaxation. I am definitely going to arrange and take the Mickey ear hat picture while at Disney. I will post it when we return for hose of you who would like to see it.

Oh and I skipped temping today since I woke up 3+ hrs earlier than normal.

N. Miller, I hope everything goes well with the HSG and no issue with co-pay. Remember to relax because you don't want to have a muscle spasm, which can show your tubes as blocked. It's not that painful...seriously . Make sure you take 4 ibuprofen (totaled 800 mg) an hour before and then whatever else the doctor's prescribed for you. If they didn't prescribed any pain medication for you (I've read some people didn't get it), take another 800 mg of ibuprofen 30 minutes prior. And, they should give you antibiotics. Good luck!

Twinkie, did you go get your tests done?

Everyone else, Hi :wave:

nothing much going on my side. Just waiting for AF to go away .

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

N. Miller. I think we posted at the same time lol. Glad to hear everything went well!

 

[twinkie2]

Nope, not yet, appointment is Monday the 16th, so just waiting for that and AF to leave, she's almost gone though, thankfully! How are you feeling with this cycle and everything going on?

 

[Deal9027]

Happy to hear your appt went well N.Miller. When are you going to Disney? I hope you have a FABULOUS time!!! You deserve it

Twinkie - is your appt tomorrow?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Twinkie, still in the pity pool party hahahahaha. I wish I can get off facebook for a bit since seeing baby pictures all the time doesn't help. Unfortunately, my sister posts a lot about my niece on FB and I am trying to keep up with all of them . But, I don't have much hope for this cycle also. I haven't been temping these past couple of days and kinda feel more relax with not temping. I think I am just going to temp to see if I ovulated and then stop after ovulation happen. How about you? Any new game plan for this cycle?

Mmm..Deal!! How are you?

 

[KatO79]

Join me in ,
And on the off chance of a miracle I don't get AF this month, I will stalk anyway..

Actually, I just looked and I get 2 goes at it in July...

Wow I hadn't thought of it but I actually also have 2 chances as well Hoping we'll only need the first one though The only cool thing if we need the second chance is I might be able to present DH with a on his birthday

If there are lots of other ladies here with 2 chances, this'll be a pretty long thread

 

[n.miller]

Happy to hear your appt went well N.Miller. When are you going to Disney? I hope you have a FABULOUS time!!! You deserve it

Deal - we leave Saturday morning. Should be there late afternoon Saturday and we come home Tuesday. It'll be nice to relax. We're only doing 1 day in the park - Hollywood studios on Monday for my birthday.

ILT - thanks for the info about the ibuprofen.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

For whatever reason, I think we always have pretty long threads every month . It's a good thing .

FX Cheeky, Twinkie, and Kat for 2 chances in July! I am a bit jealous .

I'm relieved this morning! I had gotten back results from my annual pap that there was a slight/mild dyspacia of cells so I had to get a Colposcopy & a small pinch biopsy on my cervix last Friday. I was so PISSED because the day I had the Colpo - which I scheduled figuring it was just before my "fertile window" ended up being the day I got my most positive OPK and I was told no BDing for a couple days. I was so upset that I couldn't BD the day I finally get a positive OPK...ughhhhh. I was CRUSHED. But then FF shocked me and gave me my crosshairs as of Friday so I guess I Oed that day. This means I got BD in three days before & the day before O so at least this month wasn't a total wash but I'm really not feeling it being a sucess either since I had that procedure when my body needed to be focusing all it's attention on sperm catching egg and then since Friday I've been nervous that if the biopsy came back with cells that were deemed "pre-cancerous" they would have to do a proceedure to get rid of those cells & that proceedure you have to abstain from Bding for up to 2wks!!! So I started to feel out for this cycle & my July cycle and it had me soooooo freaking depressed. So this morning my Dr called & said that my biopsy came back good & I just need to do a follow up pap in 6/mo...HUGE relief!!! So I'm feeling back in the TTC game and I feel a huge weight off my shoulders!!! And my temp went up a little bit which makes me happier because it was on the coverline yesterday & I thought I was going to have a very short cycle if it didn't go back up!!!

Wow - sorry for the long post but I've been holding this all in for days now!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Deal, good to hear everything went well. I had that for a while. It'd come back and go by itself. So I had to keep going back to my OB every 6 months for 2 years! Then I didn't have it for 1 year straight (2 checkups). So, didn't have to go back to OB for a while . Hope it'll go away for you soon .

 

[twinkie2]

Glad everything came back good for you Deal!

 

[Lynny77]

Deal so glad everything went well for you and you recieved good news! How stressful! Big hugs to you! You never know maybe your focusing so much on other things will help your chances this month! And glad to see your feeling better about your temps.

N.miller so glad things worked out for you this morning at the clinic! And that's great that there's no cysts! Hopefully that medication works well and you get your bfp this month

So jealous of the ladies with 2 chances in July! Lol. Hopefully you won't need that second chance.

ILT hopefully once the witch takes her leave you'll feel better. Hugs to you this whole ttc process is so frustrating.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Lynny, how are you doing? Do you have to go back to the RE's office anytime soon?

 

[Lynny77]

ILT im good thanks for asking! I go back to the clunic on sunday for a 3d iltrasoubd and one last blood i guess to check hormone levels and such then i guess i wait until july for my appointment with the doctor to see the results of this investigative cycle snd go from there. Thats a whole cycle away! Thats the frustrating part. Are you feeling better today?

 

[n.miller]

Deal - glad you got good news. FX for you.


Yay for good news. We were expecting meds to be in the hundreds as my insurance won't cover fertility. $4 dexamethasone and $7 for femara. Only expensive thing is the $75 for the shot. So less than $100 per month. Doable. And hopefully it won't take very many months.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Lynny, I am feeling okay. Still trying to channel my energy doing everything else and not concentrating on TTC until after the RE appointment in a couple of weeks or so. Hmm...sunday testing. I wonder if they can tell if you are successful this cycle. I know that there is such thing called early pregnancy factor test that they can do through blood. I am getting super excited for you!!

N. Miller, that sounds really reasonable! FX it won't be too long
