LIL! CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow I can't believe the luck in here lately! How are you feeling? Have you and your hubby recovered from the shock yet?!

Sorry that the B/Witch got you Raven & Rachel. Rachel good luck with your appointment!

Well I didn't ovulate on CD 19 like I did last cycle, but if I don't ovulate in the next day or two, I will be convinced that my body won't EVER ovulate again...because I have insane amounts of EWCM, I'm cramping like whoa, and check out these OPKs...I HAVE to ovulate now!

TOP=last night (it's dried out, sorry)
BOTTOM=this morning (w/in 3 minutes!)

Dee - With your temp dip, EWCM, and those opks I'd say you're about to ovulate! Get !

 

[seabean]

Caroline - there has been plenty of BD-ing and definitely some more tonight! I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait for some solid cross-hairs and sore boobs so I can confidently take a break...having a whole week of EWCM and potential ovulation is rough on the hoo-hah

 

[MommyDream]

Good luck Dee! I hope this is for you! I agree - ewcm and nonstop bd'ing IS hard on the hoo-haw!!

Very nervous about my appointment on Friday. No idea what to expect. Any advice on what to ask? I will demand provera but apart from that I'm at a loss. I guess if she/he doesn't mention clomid I will ask about it?

 

[Rachel789]

Katya-I have my appt today with the RE. I went online and Googled questions to ask at your first appt. It was helpful and I wrote some things down. And I would defintely ask about clomid if they don't already mention it. I would think they will since you arent ovulating. Good luck!!

Thanks Rachel! Good luck today. Let us know how you get on and what you would def rec. I ask. I will google questions now

 

[seabean]

Sooooooo quiet in here!

Good luck on all the upcoming appointments. Be sure to update us with results and progress!

BTW - I am almost positive that I ovulated I woke up with my twins suuuuuuuper sore , especially on the sides. I just need to have my temp confirm it over the next few days!

 

[MommyDream]

Great news Dee! FX crossed for you!

 

[seabean]

Great news Dee! FX crossed for you!

Thanks!!! Any symptoms picking up yet?! I see you had a + blood test, yaay!

 

[cmwilson]

Great news Dee! That temp rise and sore are promising! Hope you caught the eggy with all the you were doing!

Katya - I agree with Rachel's suggestion. Look up questions for first FS appointment, that's what I did. I have no doubt they'll give you Provera after 6 months with no AF!

Rachel - I hope your appointment went well today! Can't wait to hear!!

 

[Rachel789]

Just got back from my appt. Good and bad news...Good news is I love this dr. and he is so thorough, like night and day from that last RE I saw. The bad news is I won't be on a medicated cycle again probably until October. He wants to run a lot of tests and get to the bottom of why my cycles are screwed up. He wants to fix that problem then tackle the whole getting pregnant thing. I am so impatient so the thought of having to wait that long kills me

I am going to the lab tomorrow morning to get bloodwork done for a ton of different things including: FSH, Estradiol, Anti mullerian hormone, TSH, prolactin, testosterone, insulin, hemoglobin, glucose tolerance, rubella antibodies. I can't wait to get the results for all of that! DH scheduled his SA for a week from today. Also I am hoping to schedule a test called saline infusion sonogram between day 4 and 11 this cycle if there is an opening. He wants to do all of that first then if all is clear he wants to do the HSG next cycle. I asked if I could at least get started next cycle on some meds while I get the HSG done and he said no because on the HSG cycle because of all the irritation there is a higher risk of miscarraige. I never heard of that but whatever I guess I will trust him. I am happy with all the tests he is performing and how thorough he is but I really won't have a realistic chance to get pregnant again until October at the earliest and that makes me sad

 

[cmwilson]

I'm glad you like your doctor! That's a good sign. I'm sorry you will have to wait until October but with all the tests he's running he'll be able to figure out the best treatment for you and you'll stand a better chance of getting pregnant.

If my next cycle doesn't work out I'll be waiting until October too so we can wait together. Also, who knows some people get pregnant while waiting for treatment, maybe that will be you!

 

[mrsc81]

Sorry its not really what you wanted to hear Rachel, but lots of positive things there and he sounds like he knows what hes doing

Dee - Good luck in tww

Katya - Get armed with questions for your appt on friday, hope ot goes well

Hope the rest of you ladies are well

 

[Rachel789]

Wow this thread is dying out these days, whats happening? All you preggo ladies don't leave us, I think I speak for all of us when I say we still want you here

I had my bloodwork done this morning. They had to take 7 vials total. I have never had more than 1 or 2 taken at a time She said it was due to how many different things the dr wants tested. I had the glucose tolerance test done. I had to get blood drawn first then drink this really sugary drink it had 75 grams of sugar in it, yuck! Then I had to sit and wait 2 HOURS (boring!!) and then they took another blood sample so they could test to see how my body metabolized the sugar. Also I heard back from my REs office today and I was able to get in for the saline infusion sonogram on Tuesday morning, the same day DH is dropping off his sample for the SA. I am so nervous to get the results for all of these things. I really hope nothing serious is going on with either of us

 

[raventtc]

rachel glad to hear your appointment went good! and that you love this new doc...its always good when you have one you can talk to and they LISTEN...!!

not much going on with me just wondering and thinking about things lately...i am not so down just really thinking if I want to keep doing this and when we should stop trying...time is ticking!! but its so hard to decide cause i want another little one so bad....so you see where i have been lately. I am just waiting for af to make an exit and start temping all over again --

 

[seabean]

I'm still here!!!

Rachel - it sounds like you have a super proactive RE now! I know Oct seems like ages from now, but at the same time it will go by fast. At least, I hope it does for you. The bloodwork seems scary, but they wouldn't test for things they can't fix, so hopefully it's just a minor adjustment or medication or something that can put you back on track in no time!

I know my temps haven't risen spectaularly at all, but I'm almost positive I O'd based on my insanely sore boobs. If I rise tomorrow and the next day, even slightly, then FF says that I would have O'd 2 days ago, like I am thinking I did. So fingers crossed that my boobs aren't just sore for no reason!

 

[MommyDream]

Hi ladies... I wouldn't leave my yelping vagina friends for the world!!! I am still here for all of you.. Just the way you have all been here for me

Rachel - ouchie with the 7 vials! I had that when I first started going to my FS as well. I've had the saline sono and the HSG, so feel free to ask me any questions! I find it interesting that your doc said not to try on the HSG cycle because of the increased chance of mc. This cycle was my HSG cycle... I pray I have a sticky and healthy bean!

Dee - fx that's you've o'd! Sounds promising!

Raven - why do you say time is ticking? Is it your age or just general fed-up ness? (I don't think that's a word but hey)

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...sorry I haven't been around much but I'm not going anywhere either...just been. kind of down about different stuff. I'm also not too confident yet about O'ing. My temp was kind of high today but I was also up 3 times during the nightI don't know.

Rachel, sorry about them taking so much blood and that the dr. Wants to wait until October but at least progress is being made. Hopefully it will happen for you b efore then

Dee, hopefully you'll get a nice temp rise over the next few days to confirm O. Congrats!

Katya, good luck on your appt. honI hope you get the answers and help you need

Nat, hope everything is going good for you...where are you at in your cycle? Did you go on the BC yet?

Caroline, hope you're doingv good as well

How are the pregnant ladies doing?

 

[mrsc81]

Im still checking in on you ladies

Got my first midwife appointment tomorrow and should be getting a date for my first scan.

 

[cmwilson]

Rachel - Ouchie on the bloodwork. I'm sure everything will come back fine but even if it doesn't they'll know what they're dealing with and will be able to help you. It does seem like the thread is slowing down a bit but me and my issues are still here!

Raven - I hope you're not giving up yet! I just know you're close to your bfp! How long have you been TTC?

Dee and Bethany - I'm sure you both O'd, your charts look good!

Katya and Louise - I can't wait to hear how your appointments go!

I had a bit of a moment of worry today. My injectables go through a mail order company. When I talked to my doc she told me the bravelle would be about 50 dollars a vial and I would need 5 vials then the cost of femara. So in my mind I was thinking about $300 dollars or so. Well when the medication company called they gave me a total of $1,200 dollars. Imagine my surprise! I was freaking out! Well I did some investigation and it turned out that my doc was out of town so the other doc thought I was doing a straight injectables cycle so that was what the prescription was for. After I called back and said I only needed 5 vials and not 3 BOXES my cost was a lot lower. Phew! The femara was only $10 dollars so that was good! I guess that gives me an idea of what an injectables cycles will cost. YIKES!
