[RobertRedford]

Lala- hope you feel better!!

Amanda- it's still sooooo early!! Don't get discouraged!!

Thanks

 

[BubsMom17]

Amanda - Did you test???

Lala - You don't have to be preg. You just put in your birthdate and the month of conception. Do you can use it to guess if you conceive in any given month what gender you will have. It was right for my son, so we'll see!

I really want a girl, but at the same time I won't be disappointed with a boy, if that makes sense.

 

[RobertRedford]

Emily, that makes total sense. Then you will have one of each. I tested this am. BFN! I think the test from earlier this week was just a bad evap.

Here are pics of this mornings test (taken with FMU)

 

[Mrs LaLa]

^^^ Dont give up!

Well ladies late last night i started getting mild cramping, flatulence, and now today my nipples are sensitive and my lower back hurts.... just enough to notice them.... Think this is a good sign!!

Also i did the prediction

 

[RobertRedford]

Thanks. I know its still super early. I am trying not to get disappointed just yet!

 

[pdxmom]

Amanda still early dont lose hope hun...itll all happen in the right time

Lala - hope thts a gud sign...

 

[NDTaber9211]

Don't lose hope Amanda!

afm- I had some weird spotting earlier today... I honestly have NO idea what it is. I am going to keep an eye on it and see what happens. The only thing I am doing this month is exercising and drinking Fertilitea.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Oooooo Nichole, hope its IB!!!

I'm getting weird stabbing uterus pains. Probably nothing.

 

[NDTaber9211]

If it is I would be SUPER shocked. We didn't try this month the temps I did take never indicated ovulation. It's gone now so I have no idea.

 

[goldstns]

Rachel where r u on your cycle?

 

[Mrs LaLa]

Was it light pink or brown? Or deep red like blood flow

 

[NDTaber9211]

Light pinkish red.

On another note, I have my first solo apartment showing and I am nerrrrrvous! I really want to get this apartment leased fast.

 

[TTCaWee1]

I think I am around 11 dpo. I was supposed to start AF tomorrow but I O'd late so I assume she'll be arriving late too. I'm on cd 27 and nothing yet. The last two cycles I got spotting around 10/11 dpo that I thought was IB only for AF to arrive days later. I guess it's a good sign I haven't seen anything yet. I also haven't seen anything on a test though....my boobs finally started hurting today and my nose is running like crazy. Usually my boobs stop hurting right before AF. I took my temp this am and it was 98.56....def high for my post o temps. We shall see in the next few days...

 

[RobertRedford]

Rachel, all of those sound like great symptoms. My fingers are crossed! Have you tested today?

Goodluck, Nichole! I hope it goes well. Are you going to test anytime soon?

 

[asmcsm]

Amanda- It's still super early for you so, FX you will get that BFP in a few days!

Nichole- I'm sure you'll do great!

Rachel- FX those are signs that this month's your BFP!

AFM, Fertilitea and new HPT's came in the mail today. Going to start drinking the tea again tonight just because it can't hurt. And HPT's will be to see when my levels no longer show up. Going to try not to use them after we start TTC and just wait and see if AF shows. We'll see if that works out...lol. Good news is bleeding has gone down a lot. Only a little more than spotting already so hopefully we'll be back to TTC very soon!

Today was great though, DF and I worked in the yard and made a little pond and planted some flowers around it, thank you Pinterest Not quite finished but we got most of it done today.

Hi ladies Haven't been on for a while because after my fertility consult I felt I needed to take a step back so I wouldn't obsess and stress during the time I was waiting for some results (even though the results I had on that day were mostly good). Here's what's going on with me:

My basic fertility consult went great (aside from getting lost at the tale end of my trip, but I got there) - I feel very confident with the doc and he and the staff were super nice. I also loved how he let me see the ultrasound for myself (and it was a top of the line u/s machine) and how he explained everything to me and he even went over what happens during IUI and did a dry run with an empty IUI catheter, so I could see it didn't hurt. The good news is my ovaries and uterus look great and I am no longer in fear of needing a surrogate and I'm feeling confident that I can at least carry a baby. My FSH was apparently good or good enough he didn't mention it as a worry (and my hormone specialist had said it was good/fine earlier) and my AMH results, that just came back today, were excellent, so I'm feeling more confident about my eggs/ovaries. And DH's SA came back with a good prognosis for fertility (he even has swimmers to spare)! So I'm feeling pretty hopeful that the worst case scenario is going to be a few rounds of IVF. At the very least my uterus should be fine for donor embryo if the endo fluids are hurting my eggs (or something) and they can't do anything about that. And the doc was talking like after the lap we could possibly start with clomid. Which brings me to the not so great news - as suspected, the doc is confident I have endo (my symptoms, family history, and the fluid found in my abdominal cavity around my uterus on the u/s indicate endo). However, I don't have any lesions visible on u/s and ovaries and uterus look great. Who knows about the tubes, though, and all that fluid has to be coming from somewhere (so either a bunch of little lesions or maybe some bigger lesions somewhere not on my reproductive organs). So, I will definitely be having a keyhole lap done to explore and see if my tubes are blocked or not, and unblock if they are, see what the lesions situation is and remove them and scar tissue if present, check out the inside of my uterus and clean anything needing cleaned up there, etc. The surgery scheduler should be calling me back on Tues to sched my lap and the pre-op appt. I should be having the lap at the end of May or the beginning of June. Also, I have a slightly elevated prolactin level (25.5 when the normal is 4 - 23), but that should be easily fixed by medication if need be (my mom has my same symptoms which led him to suspect elevated prolactin in me and she never got treatment for it and she had me just fine). So, I've got some trials ahead of me, although I'm much relieved to know my uterus is good to go (I had good lining) and it and my ovaries looked great (I could see three follicles on the one that didn't just ov and two on the one that just did) and my FSH is good and my AMH is excellent. And apparently the lower end of normal estrogen didn't alarm him. Basically, I now feel confident that it is just a matter of time before I get my bfp (with probably the worst case being IVF and no worst case than donor embryo). Don't know how long it's going to take to get there (I doubt I'm PG this month) but I figure it will happen eventually and at the moment I'm feeling content to just be on my way to an eventual bfp. Of course, it would be nice not to need any surgery at all, but I'm glad it's minor surgery (unless he should find a load of endo to remove in there) and I'm hopeful that if my tubes are blocked they are able to be cleaned out and returned to good condition. I'm a bit nervous, though, as I don't like being knocked out and it's still surgery. But I should be fine.

Also, unless there is time for one more natural TTC before surgery (which there won't be if I have it on sched), I won't be having acupuncture until after I'm healed up and ready to start TTC again. The acupuncturist rec'd that course of action and asked me to call her with results and when my surgery is scheduled and keep her up to date.

In other news, DH and I are going to Kings Island tomorrow so I can get in some ride time before surgery takes me out for a month (it'll take me out for a month of TTC too). I really don't think anything has implanted, my gyno is unconcerned with rides in the tww, and it's going to be too early to tell if I'm PG, and from what I've researched it shouldn't have an effect if it's too early to even get a bfp. I'll take a test tomorrow (it will only be 10dpo) and if it's bfn I ride the rides, and if it's bfp...well, yay I don't have to have surgery! But it's going to be bfn and AF is going to get me as usual, and I'm going to have that surgery. I'm reserving my hope for after surgery.

Welcome to all the new ladies! Baby dust to you~

Nikki, congrats on your DH getting hired! I your grandma! God bless her! And congrats on your bfp! Sticky dust!

Nichole congrats on your new job! And for the hard time your cycle and doctors are giving you! I'd definitely call your insurance provider and ask them what fertility coverage you have and whether you need someone to refer you to the FS or not and definitely go to an FS for diagnostics (which should be covered if you have any fertility coverage). With anovulatory cycles, they shouldn't make you wait more than 6 months, from what I've read. Keeping you in my prayers

Cassidy, sorry your DH is still having bad times with his health and the doctors runaround! 3 weeks until they can see him?! Ugh!

Congrats on getting the house, Rachel!

Alissa, sorry to your IUI was a bust, but glad you finally have some answers and treatment!

Ashlee, I'm so sorry for the loss of your little bean! Keeping you in my prayers (And I'd be trying again right away too, I think - FX'd you get your rainbow baby soon!) Love the pond, btw


Kara, sorry to here your betas are being uncooperative! Keeping you in my prayers as well

Amanda, congrats on the new job!

Sorry if I've missed anyone or anything - so hard to catch up after being absent a while!

 

[goldstns]

Stg- I have prolactin issues...i was on meds. The month we conceived my levels we 26...so ull be good.

Nichole-some Fs will bill u as an endocrinologist which is usually covered if Fs isn't. That will at least work for blood testing and consultation. But be sure to say u have irregular cycles.

 

[goldstns]

Ashlee-love the pond!!!

Emily and laura- I have zero symptoms...is that ok??

 

[TTCaWee1]

No Mother's Day bfp for me. Bfn on frer. I feel like crap though. My entire body aches. My muscles, my joints....even my teeth and my toes. It's weird. I also have a headache. CD 28 today but only 12 dpo at the most.

Stg - glad you got some answers! Overall it sounds like it went pretty well! Are they going to do the hsg too or just the surgery?

Nikki - cant wait to see your "pregnant" pic!
