[Sweetz33]

YAY Starry

Beautiful Tricia!!

Welcome Tamzing...SS for your loss *hugs*

AFM same ole same ole. Cooking dinner for the guys, watching Boston Red Sox on T V... Finished the mural....I will post a picture later. Much love to all!!!

 

[MamaTex]

garfie: I haven't been to a proper fair in a long time. Glad you enjoyed your day out!! Don't really have any advice about the OPK but you're still in my thoughts!!!

never: Your sense of humor is too much lol. Sorry to hear your son is sick. I would be mad at your fam too. Some people have no regard for others!! I understand kids have to build their immunity but why force it on someone else's kid? I mean, I know it wasn't intentional but your fam definitely made the likelihood of your son getting a cold greater!!

ESwemba: Congrats on the weight loss. You have put in so much work!! Good for you.

mack jess: I hear ya about being in better shape and health before trying again. I really want to get below 200 and get in better shape not only to conceive, but I want to do what I can to be on Earth for as long as possible for Sky

And your plan for the Christmas photos sounds cool. Your family, your way!!

tamzing: Sorry for the reason you are joining us here, but you are definitely welcoe. Good luck!!!

mowat: How are you feeling today? Any new developments?

Sweetz: You have a great talent. I love the graffiti art on the wall. I wish you could teleport to Texas and do some for our nursery!!

Pink: So sorry to hear about the car troubles. What is it with men and their less than conveinent bad decisions? Arghhh!!

Tricia: So happy to hear you had a good scan. Congrats on being Team Blue!!!

Left: I can attest to the stretching and the pains being normal. You feel all sorts of stuff in pregnancy. I remember feeling things that made me wonder if there were little gremlines inside of me messing with me lol.

tcmoon: Timing is important, but I will tell you that when I got pregnant with my rainbow baby, it wasn't from having a lot of well timed sex, that's for sure. You just never know. Good luck in your TWW

Kat S: I hope that nurse gets the feedback she needs. How rude!! SOme people would kill to have a job to do. SHe needs to do hers and stop being a witch!!

eyemom: Sounds lik you have a sweet little girl. Kids seem to know what to say or what to do to bring a smile to your face in the way they know how
lisalee: Keep hoping and believing!!!

Starry: Yay for a great scan!!!

 

[Tricia173]

Hey, ladies! I'm back! The scan was PERFECT!!!! The baby is measuring 7+6 and has a heart beat of 174!! and there are no signs of any clots or bleeds in the womb which is a huge, happy first for me!!!

I should stay and respond to everyone but I'm getting a massive headache and I get evening sickness so starting to feel quite raunchy. I need a nap.

Can grata starry, what a relief!

 

[lisalee1]

Starry- That's wonderful! I'm glad everything is well. You're in the fun part of pregnancy- MS time! I had it bad last time around 6-14 weeks. And mine was morning AND evening sickness. Fun fun! Enjoy the rest of 1st trimester and don't let your stomach get too empty which makes MS worse.

Left- You need to change your status from other to pregnant!!!!

Pink- I understand your frustration. Hopefully, he gets it together soon girl!

Garfie- I'm sure I agree with your definition of raunchy. LOL!

 

[MamaTex]

WHEW!! So much to catch up on!

Lol

AFM Nothing new to report. Sky will be 2 months old in a few days. I am thinking of taking Sky out to a family-oriented outdoor event in the city where there will be food trucks and a live mural painting. We shall see, as it might rain. I am getting antsy and want to get out of the house. It's time to start getting out and about with the baby. I won't go all out or anything. I just want a little fresh air!!!

Mama getting out and about with Sky sounds like a great plan 2 months already where did that time go !!!!!

 

[mowat]

Wow, so many posts today! Yeah for good scans ladies---you give me hope.

Sorry for all the whining, but I'm still feeling miserable today. Definitely not the flu like I had thought as I haven't developed vomiting or anything. Starting getting EWCM yesterday a little bit and it is continuing today. Massive temperature drop this morning. Just did an OPK and it is so dark it looks like a faulty test---must be the worlds biggest egg dropping! Oh my ovaries! Guess it's going to be a long cycle as it's already cd21. Counting down the days until AF and when I can finally get started with TTC.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh starry I am sooooo pleased it all looks good you so deserve your rainbow, now make sure you still rest up, make sure that man takes care of you and everything will be wonderful

I can't sleep at all tonight and I don't know if it's because I'm so uncomfortable or cos I'm so stressed out about this car thing, I'm so mentally drained its ridiculous.

 

[tamzing]

I just love reading everyone's good news -- keeps me hopeful and positive Thanks again for the lovely welcome!
Sad to be here and sad to be have membership in a club nobody wants to join (pregnancy loss)... but I'm discovering it has AWESOME members. I'm just going to stay giddy reading about everyone's happy news, hehe

 

[ttcmoon]

ES - I am sorry to know about your BFN.What DPO is this?

Kat - I was on injectibles this time.Lat time I got lower dosage of injectibles and produces 4 mature eggies.But that cycle did not work somehow.This time I produced MSF (multiple small follicles) and the growth was pretty slow.So I ended up with 2 (may be 3) mature ones.
Accupuncture worked for many ladies in this community so do not feel silly.Keep on doing it.Everyone is different so you never know what is going to click for you.Your photo is scary though.Is it painful to have needles stuck on body?
What is your FSH level?Get your AMH checked once.FSH vary through out the cycle but AMH stays same.It is a better indication of egg reserve.I do not know why this nurse is behaving like this.She should have been more caring after your loss.
We do not get any insurance support for any fertility treatment too.And it is too costly Did you check with your provider whether they can support the IVF?No harm in asking.Another thing is you can travel to India.It is pretty cheap here.I have seen many couples coming here for IVF.

Tricia - great to know about your scan.Lucky momma of small cute BOY.So now a member of team blue

Pink - I am so sorry to know about your hubbys accident.Drinking and driving is an offense and he should have been more careful.But look at his side.He met and accident and then spent night at police station.Now he needs to pay repair and taxi bills too.I would request you to forgive him

Eyemom - This thread is growing so fast!How are you doing?Planning IUI this cycle?

Left Wondering - All the best.Enjoy the bump.Streching is painful but you must be relived to know that your small one is growing well inside

Starry - That is a great news.Please take proper food and rest FX'd.

Tamzing/Lisalee - How are you doing?

AFM - nothing much to update.It is 5DPIUI.Waiting period is on!

 

[ESwemba84]

So much stuff! I'm gonna try....

Ttcmoon, good luck! When are you testing?

Starry! that's fantastic news!

Mowat, sorry you're having so much pain, but I hope it's for a good cause!

Mama, glad you're getting out with Sky.

Tricia, congrats on your boy!

Hi everyone else! I gotta get ready for work...

AFM, AF started last night, so I'm counting today as CD 1. I'm going to get my hormones rechecked on Friday, and maybe consider the hysteroscopy. Good thing is that I didn't get bad cramps or a migraine until just before AF started, which is what used to happen. I'm hoping this means my hormones are working right.

 

[Starry Night]

LOL! "Raunchy" just means really puke-worthy gross. Someone who is dressed or acting really trampy could be described as raunchy. and it was a good worth as shortly after my post i spent about 5 minutes dry heaving. Fun, fun. But I felt a lot better afterwards. I was even able to enjoy our turkey dinner last night.

eswemba - sorry about your bfn.

ttcmoon - good luck with this cycle. I hope the injections do the trick!

mowat - sounds like you're having a rough time. I hope you're feeling better soon. I also get pretty sick the first time I ovulate after a miscarriage. I guess all those hormones are a shock to the system.

kat - I still can't get over how rude that nurse was to you! If you're going to work in a sensitive field then maybe you need to be sensitive!! Sheesh. You'd think she'd be aware that money is always going to be an issue with fertility treatments and that some accomodation is necessary.

pink - that's so frustrating about your oh's accident but I'm glad he is OK.

tamzing - so sorry to hear about your loss.

 

[Kat S]

Starry I'm so happy about your scan!! I was nervous for you. I know (or I think I know) how scared you were. Thank god!!

ES, good luck on Friday. I've had two hysteroscopies They're ok.

TTC Moon, India?? Really? Well, I'll look into anything, so I'll check it out. Yup, I've had it all checked and all the parts looked at. My AMH/FSH are part of my signature. The first day at the fertility clinic they contacted my insurance to see what they would cover, so that was done a year ago. No IVF, no donor egg, no injectables. We can afford to do a little injectables, so I'm actually on my way to pick those up now. The injectable/Femara combo worked great the last time we tried it. Sadly I didn't end up pregnant.

Thanks guys, for your support about the nasty nurse. I don't understand her at all She makes me feel like crap every time I talk to her. I remember one time I spoke to her on some minor holiday (I think maybe it was the first day of Spring?). I was getting my latest blood work back (I was still waiting for my HCG to go to zero so we could start trying again), and at the end of the conversation I wished her a happy "whatever holiday it was", and she responded in an exasperated/annoyed tone, "Stop worrying! You'll get there soon enough. Worrying isn't going to make it happen faster!" Clearly she didn't even listen to what I'd actually said and assumed I was whining about my situation.

 

[lisalee1]

Kat- Your story just made me mad all over again. How can she be a nurse and she's such a jerk?!? Seriously, I hope you find a way to complain about her or find somewhere else to go. TTC is hard and stressful enough without the NURSE of all people making it worse!

TTCMoon- Ours fingers are crossed with you. We're right here for you.

Hi to everyone else. I'll have to go back and reread.

AFM- Still not many symptoms. A slight queasy feeling when hungry. Still extremely thirsty and getting up at night due to dry mouth/throat.
Took a Clearblue digital (this is my last time testing-promise!) and it said 3+ weeks. So I'm pretty happy. 3+ weeks I'll be counting down to the 1st Dr appt!

 

[mowat]

So happy you had a good scan yesterday Starry! Are you starting to relax at all? I haven't had a good ultrasound in so long I'm wondering if it eases your mind at all. Did you do anything different this cycle? I'm on so many vitamins and supplements already I hate the thought of taking anything else, but I could probably handle on or two more.

Told DH I thought I might be ovulating finally and he asked if we were trying this cycle. Had a really hard time saying we should wait, but I'm too worried about the anti-inflammatories I've been taking for my feet. Probably not a good idea to try, but it's so hard not to! Got another positive OPK today and a slight temperature rise, so I'm hoping my temps will shoot up tomorrow. At least the pain is gone!

Next month ladies! Who's with me?

 

[Left wonderin]

Mowat I'm there with ya all the way

 

[Starry Night]

mowat - what I'm doing differently this time is taking fish oil (body oil, not cod liver) and an extra 1mg of folic acid. I took the fish oil from my last m/c as it's supposed to help with egg quality as well as helping the baby grow.

 

[mowat]

I'm taking fish oil already, so that's good. An extra 1 mg of folic? So 2 mg? What does the extra folic help with? My naturopath prescribed the fish oil, a prenatal, two different pills for my low adrenal function, an estrogen support for the first part of my cycle, and lots of D & C. I'm also taking a baby aspirin a day. Right now I'm also taking an anti inflammatory for my feet and a pill to protect my stomach from the anti inflammatory (!), and 2 Tylenol every 4 hours. I am sick of pills!

 

[ttcmoon]

mowat - which brand of fish oil you buy?I would like to try fish oil for myself.But not sure whether it is available in India.But I guess it is definitely worth a try.Do you consume in tablet form?
I understand when you say "Sick of Pills".But all is for good and I am sure ending would be super good with rainbow baby!

Lisalee - 6 weeks is too early for many symptoms.All the best for your first appointment


Kat - How much is the cost of IVF there?I am doing rounds of IUI with injectibles and IUI cost here is around $41 USD for each IUI and each injection is around $16USD.I spend around $450 per IUI cycle with medication, injection and IUI.For IVF (my clinic is pretty costly as per Indian std) the cost with medication and injection would be 4k-5k.Not sure if rates are different for international patients.But I am sure in US cost is higher.You can contact them.
Dr. Sudarsan Ghosh Dastidar (pioneer in IVF research ref-world congress in Athens 1985) a known doctor is having institute in kolkata(calcutta) - https://www.gdifr.in. It my home city and I have seen many international patients there.Also Dr.Malpani of Mumbai is a well known doctor for IVF in India.I do my treatment in Oasis Hyderabad.You can contact them to know your options.All the best
