[DSemcho]

Hi DSemcho and welcome. Sorry for your struggles. It's a wonderful group here. I hope you're onto something about the pain being a twitchy tube. That was a really fast HSG. I mean I guess it doesn't have to be a lengthy process, but you are so right, that's not a lot of time to relax. I've heard though that most people who find it painful are ones who have blockages. But that kind of brings up an interesting which came first, chicken or egg kind of discussion...could it be that more people diagnosed with blockages are actually having tube spasms? It'd be great if your tubes are actually fine. Hope you can get a sticky bean soon.

Yeah it seemed short to me. It definitely was a traumatic experience that I do not want to repeat while here in Turkey. The doctor used a metal speculum and inserted something metal into my cervix. And he kept telling me to "relax" while he was basically fisting me becaues he had accidentally left the metal thing in my cervix because it didn't come out when the speculum did. I went home, cried, called out of work and didn't even go in the next day. And I cramped for about a week and spotted for 2 days.

 

[Pinkcasi]

hey everyone :wave:

welcome new gals sorry you find yourselves here but were lovely really honest.

dsemcho your experience sounds thoroughly traumatic, so sorry you had to o through that.

sorry garfie xx

nothing to report here, im missing my friends baby shower today as i too incapaciated to go i thought bub might have dropped a bit as I've been peeing like a maniac but i really don't know i think its just wishful thinking.

 

[qwk]

hope you get to see the dr soon sweetz. I take it you are in the US too?

I am feeling more depressed today. Sigh... I added some other "things to look forward to" in my signature. That's kind of how I handled WTTC, as we waited a long time due to $$ reasons and work reasons, so I tried to add in lots of little things that were happening in my life that are good. I hate just sitting on the edge of my seat here waiting for ovulation, waiting for the OPKs to turn negative, waiting for the HPT to turn negative (still getting a faint line on ICs, arrrgh ). I hate living my life that way, but I have a sort of obsessive personality so it's a little inevitable.

Just feeling sorry for myself I guess. We also got some bad news about my mom's health. And we received in the mail the little shirt we had ordered for my son to wear at Thanksgiving to announce the pregnancy to our families I didn't even open it, figure it would be pretty hard to look at.

Ok I think I'm done now, just needed to get that all out

 

[TTCSecrets]

Hi ladies!
Im new here! Hope you are all well?!

Well, after 1 MMC at 12 weeks in August 12, and one natural MC at 12 weeks in Februay 13, we decided to take a 2 year TTC break! Not been on contraception (due to several womb conditions i feel contraception doesnt help) but been avoiding my OH severely 2 weeks after period. I used to do BBT and Ov tests the lot! And since February the only thing i have used is a calendar to track my periods, The last week have felt very odd and been eating nothing but bolognese, tested on Friday and yep BFP.. Slightly (who am i kidding, extremely) terrified, petrified almost, looking for support from some ladies during this journey whether it be 3 months long again or the full 9 Hope you are all well xx

 

[ttcmoon]

Hello Girls,

I have been MIA for sometime because of some work.TWW is going good so far.How you all are doing?
Welcome all new girls.
It is 11DPO today.Can I test?or I stillhave chances to get false positive.I got trigger of 10,000IU 13 days ago.
Sorry I could not give individual responses and the thread has grown too much since I checked last.I will read them all and respond to all of you.

 

[TTCSecrets]

Hi ttcmoon i dont know much about when to test as i think everyones different but ive tested positive as early as 9dpo , this time i tested and it was 12 dpo and was a blatant positive, not faint, bold as anything so you could test with an early detecting test xxx

 

[MamaTex]

Good morning everyone!! Good to see all the new ladies. The thread has exploded!!! To answer some of your questions, we are not TTC at the moment. I am just super paranoid and want to rule out pregnancy, as we are not trying to have another baby so soon. My guess is that my body is just sorting itself out, although it is aggravating to have symptoms that lead me to believe AF Is coming and then nothing happens. This has happened several times! I will probably test at the end of the month. If I am pregnant, I will count that as a blessing but if I am not, I will be ok with that outcome too as my husband is definitely not on board for another little one.



I am considering getting back on hormonal birth control if my periods are too beastly to deal with once they do start up, but only after I stop nursing. I got my bronze boobies on the 19th of this month. I didn't think I would last this long. Just taking it month by month. I mostly give Sky formula, but I nurse in the morning and throughout the day so she is getting something. I pump when I can fit that in.

In other news, Kroger (a grocery store chain in my area) had a few select Marie Calendar pies on sale. Normally they are between $7 and $8 but were on sale for $4.99. I just had to get me a Lattice Apple Pie. Surely the pies being on sale is justification for my husband and I indulging in one.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

i see that this thread was started a while back so this title would have been for last November/December, right? Well here we are again and me and DH are chin deep into this ttc journey! I was SO hoping to get my BFP on my birthday just 4 days ago but it wasn't meant to be I guess so now i will be testing again Dec. 16 which is DH's birthday so it would be AMAZING to give him this birthday present!!! I just started my second round of femara/letrazole today so will be doing that til Thursday. I have an u/s to check my follies Dec. 3 and hopefully get my trigger shot! Then I start back on my heparin injections Dec. 6 and my progesterone Dec. 7 and CROSS FINGERS for that BFP on the 16th!!!

 

[eyemom]

Ah Starry, I bet your cookies are special to your family! To me it's not so much the cookies themselves, I just think cookies are a cool Christmas tradition my family just never did. I would totally buy your cookies at a bake sale, they sound awesome. Hope your party was fun!

DSemcho, that's awful, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Any idea how long you expect to be there (in Turkey)?

Hi Pink, I bet you really have dropped.

qwk, Sorry you're having a hard day. The "things to look forward to" is a great idea. Sorry about the news with your mom. And the shirt thing, I was in the process of putting in an order with my friend who makes things like that. We were looking for patterns together. Then I had to text her nevermind. So my heart is really aching for you.

TTCSecrets, oh my, praying for a sticky one. Is it okay to say congratulations? I'm sure it's terrifying. Somewhere along the line, I read or heard someone say to try to enjoy every pregnancy even if, God forbid, it's only for a few weeks. That's your time to be happy and enjoy. I took that to heart and it really helped me, but of course it's easier said than done and everyone copes differently. But enjoy this best you can because no matter what happens this is a gift. Statistically I think your chances are good this time around. Welcome and so sorry for your losses.

ttcmoon, good to see you. Hoping so much for your BFP!

Hi mamatex, I'll be anxiously awaiting your results But it probably is just your body sorting itself out. What exactly are the bronze boobies? I nursed for 2 years and I had never heard of that! Congratulations though on your accomplishment! You are doing great! Enjoy that apple pie!

ttcbabyisom, welcome. Wow we can't call ttcmoon just "ttc" anymore because there are at least 3 ttc-somethings now. I think they actually just keep renaming the thread as the months go by. I think it said JUNE/JULY when I first joined. Happy belated birthday! And happy early birthday to your DH. Hope you get a wonderful bfp birthday gift! How is Femara doing for you? Were you on Clomid first or is this your second cycle medicated at all? I'm looking at it for next cycle if it doesn't happen for me this time. Anyway, good luck!

AFM, still no +opk but I'll be shocked if it's not positive tonight.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hey welcome to all the new ladies sorry my posts are so brief today , have a rotten head cold and feeling uck

Looking forward to getting to know you all in this crazy journey I've my GD test in the hospital there , have to fast from 11 and be there at 7.30 in the morning . Its not helpful not being able to drink water as its the only thing keeping my throat from being dry

 

[Starry Night]

aw, Left, I hope you're feeling better soon. Colds are so terrible.

afm - we're worried Dh might be getting pneumonia. He was sick with a cold that kept coming back and coming back and it took me weeks to convince him to go see the doctor. He was told it was bronchitis and he was put on anti-biotics but now it's back and he's getting terrible chest pains. It's so hard not worry. He's getting about OK right now but it's really bad at night.

 

[TTCSecrets]

Eyemom thankyou so much for your kind words it is really appreciated ! I am trying to enjoy it, taking it day by day, as much as each day feels like its lasting for a week, but i am hopeful See how this goes!

Random question i wanna put out to people...

Has anybody heard of testing the ph of your urine in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy to indicate a likely gender? I know things like this arent dead on accurate but just for fun! xxx

 

[mackjess]

starry I get bronchitis a lot. do you have mucinex, or guafessinen(sp?).. I have to take that religiously for about a week with my antibiotic to get rid of it, and down myself drinking water and juice.

 

[lisalee1]

Hi all! Sorry I've been out of commission for a while. Haven't been on the computer much due to being very sick on some evenings and barely being able to eat. Of all the pregnancy symptoms, that's the one I least enjoy. Anyway, it's been easing up after I got some meds for it. So I'm counting my blessings.

How is everyone? The thread has really expanded since I've last been on! I'm going to try to keep up but only got to read a few pages so far.

Mamatex- Congrats on reaching another BF milestone! One month at a time. Way to go!

DSemco- So sorry you had to go through that! I know that HSGs can sometimes be painful but gosh! Hopefully you will get good results soon.

to everyone else. I will try to catch up soon!

 

[lisalee1]

Qwk- i know i'm late but yes you can definitely have a normal or almost normal cycle immediately after a chemical. You might ovulate a few days late at the most or maybe even on time.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

That's great, i'm glad i have found this thread! More new friends to go through this with! Thanks for the birthday wishes. Even though i got my BFN that day, it turned out to be a great day. Femara is easy breezy so far. I don't think i had any symptoms last cycle with it. I always welcome symptoms on meds because i feel like i'm supposed to get them for it to be working. I'm so weird. Anyway, I've done 2 cycles of clomid, within the last year. My very first cycle of it was successful and we got twins out of it but unfortunately it ended at 8 weeks, 1 day. So I tried one more round of clomid once everything settled down and it did not work so we took a little break and then decided it was time for the RE so just started with them in September of this year so just a few months ago and now on round #2 of femara, hcg trigger, heparin injections and progesterone. Still very hopeful for our rainbow baby someday!!!

Best of luck to you too this cycle!

 

[Tricia173]

AFM - it is 12DPO today.Doc wants me to test on 16DPO because of the trigger shot.It is too hard to wait till then.

I hope all of you are doing fine.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Welcome to the new ladies, when newbies come they seem to come in numbers making it difficult for me to keep up lol.

Lefty hope your god test goes well.

Tricia can't believe your 26 weeks already it's flying by isn't it!

Mama nice to see your still about grats on your bf milestone.

Lisa sorry to hear your sicky but it's a good sign means it's all going well right.

Rum who have I missed, loads I'm sure I'm sorry it's getting harder and harder to do personals, hope everyone is well.

I'm going to see the consultant today, she's going to check how far along I am I seriously hope I'm further than the 1cm dilated I was on Wednesday, she'll probably book in induction for next week I should think, though I'm kinda hoping she'll say to do it now but I doubt it.

I don't know if my oh is going to come with me or not I've kinda thrown the towel in, we had another fight, it happens pretty much every weekend, he went out and got drunk fri and sat night, I asked him to not drink until she got here as I could go into labour at any time it's a week and a half away and he can't manage it, he said he stayed out on sat because he 'didn't want to come home to me cos he knew I'd shout at him' it's pathetic really, so I told him I want him gone and I don't want him anywhere near me or my daughter, he doesn't seem overly bothered, he slept on the sofa last night as he's got no where to go, but he had somewhere when he didn't come home on Friday night, he stayed at a friends house, it was fine then, but when I want him to leave all of a sudden he has no where to go!
I don't even have the energy to be angry I'm just upset that he cares so little that he would keep doing this to me especially when I'm so close to giving birth.
