March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[mackjess]

I had some wine (more than a glass since it was a girls night out!) during the TWW when I ended up getting my BFP with my son. I had NO idea I was in that cycle as DH had a cold and we only DTD one time remotely close to my fertile window. I was so worried, but like Mrs W said, and my OB told me when I mentioned it, that early the egg is just getting fertilized and traveling around to get nestled in. Nothing was happening yet that would cause any problems that early on.

I also had a big night out when had BFP before I knew of course !! A glass or two wont hurt and may just help enjoy I've been tee total for 13 months out of the last 15 ! I'm so looking forward to a nice glass of wine at some point in my future lol.....

Hey girls! I hope everyone had a good Valentines Day!

I saw a neurologist today who kinda pissed me off. My primary care doc sent a referal over to the neurologist for my headaches which I get quite frequently. I had some other concerns, as I've been having balance issues and waking up stiff from my forehead to my toes every morning, complete with headache. I just wanted to talk with him about these other symptoms, because I thought they may have to do with my headaches. He wouldn't discuss any of them with me because it wasn't on the referal.......seriously? They only do that BS because they can only bill insurance for one specific issue. What a jackass. Plus I had to wait 4 months to see him, and it would take another 3 months to address the other stuff.

I'm about to give up on modern medicine. My insurance doesn't cover the treatments I really need and prevents my docs from seeing the broader picture. It's really frustrating and I feel like I keep going in circles with these people. And I know my pain management doc will do the same. I'm seeing her specifically for my disc pain, so she won't discuss other areas of concern.

I'm serious, I should just switch to nothing but natural herbs, reiki, and aura manipulation. F the healthcare system.

That's not fair

 

[Left wonderin]

ES that all sounds like a total nightmere !! One step forward and 3 back ! No wonder your fed up ! Did you even end up with an answer / plan re the headaches ??

 

[mowat]

Ugh, Es, I know what you're talking about. Unfortunately I don't feel like "natural" medicine is much better. I've been going to physio and doing accupuncture for my feet for ages and they're not really improving. I've also been to see a naturopath for general health improvement. I did some hormone testing with her and then my doctor did similar tests---needless to say the tests did not show the same results. Ugh. Hope you get some answers soon. Is the back surgery not happening at all?

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Es- sorry you had that experience. I used to work for an insurance company and I know exactly how you feel. I don't know why the laws prohibit doctors to only treat or consulting abt what's specified on the referral. It definitely doesn't make sense nor is it fair for us patients! Ugh...To doctors and insurance companies it's so black and white but to the patient all we want is to be treated!

My brother is definitely a advocate for natural remedies! I am somewhat. I think it's definitely worth pursuing that angle...

Hey Ladies,

I have not been so active this past week or so, I just hope that all is well with everyone!!

I have SOOOOOO much going on right now and I just feel like exploding sometimes. A week ago my company laid off my entire dept, which completely blind sided me because I am a supervisor. This is the last thing I need with a BABY on the way, planning my wedding and buying a house UGGGHHHHHH!! Then on top of all of this DH gets a job back in our hometown which is 5hrs away! Now this would be good news if he didn't have to be there in less than a week and we have not started packing AT ALL!!

Packing an entire apt is stressful enough but being pregnant and packing is not enjoyable. I swear the other day I had a panic attack and I honestly was in so much pain it reminded me of the pain I was in when I went into labor. I was so nervous and so mad at myself for getting so stressed out and endangering the life of my baby. It was such a relief that I was not cramping nor bleeding so that reassured me that the baby seems to be ok. DH was so worried and forced me to take it easy and let him do it all. I love him for stepping up and putting the baby & I first. As soon as I lied down that night I felt 100% better and the pain & stress went right away.

Sorry for the venting haha...I just have so much on my plate and I just needed to get that out. I hope all is well and you ladies have a blessed weekend!

ES that's outrageous. I'm so sorry. I knew that was true in some cases (e.g. if you get a referral for physical therapy, they can only do the thing specified in the Dr's order). But I didn't know that about like in your case. I'm an optometrist, so I'm considered a primary health care provider, so it's less a thing for me. I have to document a chief complaint, but I can list whatever other secondary complaints as well. So frustrating that it's so much red tape. Usually the doctors just want to be able to help you too, but they have to follow the "rules." But sounds like you got a jerk, I'm so sorry. It's so dumb because what if these issues are related, ya know? Makes no sense to cover your ears when it comes to other symptoms. But I guess I'm preaching to the choir. Will you try to get your primary care Dr to write a referral for the other issues? Hate that you're dealing with that. Good luck.

Wow Mariahs Mom, that is a LOT of stuff to deal with. Maybe once you're moved you will feel so much better because it'll be done and you'll be closer to family (I'm guessing?). Glad your OH was sweet about it! Good luck with everything!

AFM, I got my first +opk yesterday early morning! Then it was already negative last night?? Sorta confusing! I didn't manage to do one this morning. Forgot at first then I didn't have time to pee again lol. I think this time I'll keep doing them until I get a temp spike. I'm CD13 and I don't think I'm supposed to ov any earlier than CD14 on the Clomid. We'll see. Curious to find out if the o pains are as bad as last cycle!

 

[Left wonderin]

Mariah make sure and ask and take all the help you can get !!!!!!

 

[DSemcho]

DH surprised me tonight. We DTD last night, but then today I was feeling horribly sick all day (I get sick once a year) so I thought I wasn't going to be getting any. Then tonight he made me have sex with him even though I'm sick. AND THEN when I asked him to get me a wash cloth so I could wipe up before getting up he said nope, you are sticking your butt on a pillow in the air for at least ten minutes. Then brought me a pillow, my crochet project and a wash cloth so I could wipe my toosh before putting it on my pillow. I've never told him that putting my butt up in the air on a pillow could be beneficial.. hah. I should be O'ing in the next day or two.

Thanx. I'm hoping that once things are settled then yes I will feel better. And yes we are moving back towards family.

That is weird that the OPK was negative last night. I really hope this is your cycle and that you guys catch that egg!!!! Fx'd

I will definitely take your advice!!!

Aww that's so considerate. DH sounds like a great guy...I love it when they do research and get involved!

 

[DSemcho]

Totally surprised me lol. We've been trying for over a year. And he's normally a real asshole about it all. Even backed out on doing IVF after we have the money saved. So I was really shocked by it, and I am hoping it is a turning point for us

 

[eyemom]

Oh wow well good for him! Does sound like he's been doing his research. Hope you get your bfp soon.

 

[mowat]

Wonder if you got a positive opk from the clomid Eye? I took one fairly soon after stopping the pills and I got a pretty dark one, but then it got lighter before going dark again. Best keep "trying"!

I wondered that, but I tested the two nights before (CD10, CD11) and got negative. CD11 my pee may have been too dilute, but I think it would have been negative anyway. Dr didn't even tell me to start them until CD12, but I did it just for kicks and (at first) to see if I was still picking up on anything from the Clomid. Unmedicated, I occasionally ovulate as early as CD12, but Dr thought the Clomid would probably regulate that. Last cycle was sorta weird too. I ovulated on CD14 but got my first +OPK that same day. An LH surge on CD12 could still have me ovulating on CD14, but it was still surprising to me that I wasn't still picking up my surge that night. If this was my real surge before O, I'm lucky I decided to do one that morning or I totally would have missed it!

 

[mowat]

Hmmm, I got my first positive opk the same day I ovulated this cycle too. Wonder if it's a clomid thing. Good luck!
