MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[newbie2013]

Yay! It's done!! Pain was minimal until he squeezed more contrast through to unblock the bi-lateral tubal block. Yep, that's right, both sides were completely blocked and are now both unblocked. Thankfully the pain wasn't much worse than normal cramps but felt different. There's no dtd until tomorrow night but that's fine by me.

Fingers crossed that does the trick and I'll be posting about a bfp before too long.

Feeling very relieved.

Awesome news newbie!! Fingers crossed your BFP is on the way soon!!

 

[River54]

great news!

 

[RaeChay]

Wow both tubes blocked!! FX for some exciting news very soon! What does DH think?!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Fab news newbie hoping your bfp is on its way x

 

[newbie2013]

Thanks ladies. I haven't told DH that the cramps have come back. We're out with people (with two gorgeous twin girls) and I'm keeping it to myself.

DH thinks it is a bit freaky! But he understands now why nothing has happened yet. I justtold him it is still not a guarantee (but the chances are better!)

 

[ProfWife]

That is a really weird stipulation. Ours covers no treatments, but will cover investigations and medical procedures related to finding an underlying cause. However, iui, iui related ultrasounds, ivf and all meds are not covered.


AFM, I'm doing well. Opk went positive today! We are on vacation in the mountains right now. . Will be back in a few days... Baby dust to all! ;-)

 

[pathos]

oh both tubes well, now that they are unblocked gonna discover some untouched land and hurra conquer the golden egg shortly. FX

 

[mummy2o]

That's great news newbie. Hopefully you'll get your BFP shortly now everything can pass

@newbie: FX for your HSG.

@Lazydaisys: I made an exception for the Femara and progesterone because 60+ day cycles were almost literally driving me mad. I am, even as a professional scientist, really against going to a fertility specialist. I completely support other people doing it, if they feel it's right for them, and can't even really explain it - just feels like the wrong choice for me. The idea of it, even in theory, makes me feel completely violated and exposed. I guess what I'm saying is that I understand your DH's desire to do this "naturally" - and I hope for all our sakes, it's possible - knowing that in some cases (even mine) it isn't without intervention of some sort.

CD 4, Cycle 21 here... and not much going on. How's everyone doing?

 

[Lazydaisys]

Clandestine I do feel violated and exposed. I'm terrified
of hospital and I'm extremely nervous about being put to sleep and having my eggs retrieved. (People rooting around up there whilst I'm asleep.) I always queue for the one cubical at the gym because I'm such a prude. I'm just going to put my feelings aside because I'm hoping the outcome will be worth it. I have to pretend I'm cool about it as if say I say I'm nervous or worried my dh will say let's not do it and put ourselves through this, in 12 months time we will more than likely still be childless and then be thinking of ivf again. I still can't even believe this is happening to me.
I went for an hour long ivf meeting today so I'm feeling overwhelmed. Xx

Massive honey! I can imagine. You can always come here to us, because we will support you even if you are scared/ violated/ exposed, but still want to press on! I hope you get your baby!

 

[newbie2013]

I'm CD10 and dtd last night. A bit of pain post HSG but not too bad. Feeling much better today although I'm procrastinating terribly. I really should be getting ahead of my studies before work starts up again, but everything is distracting me today - facebook, bnb, I even washed clothes! (I hate any kind of housework!!).

Hope this is a great cycle for you Clande!

 

[Lazydaisys]

It's oh so quiet on here! how is everybody?? Xxx

 

[momwithbabies]

It has been quiet. I hope you are doing okay as well.

We got back yesterday from a terrific few days away! We went to Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor. I loved it!!! I'm feeling down today, as reality is settling back in. AF should be here around Friday. At least she didn't show up at the water park.

 

[melann13]

Yay Newbie! So glad the HSG was so obviously worth it!

AFM little one is 6mos old, has two teeth and a complete joy. I'm working on job prospects beginning Aug 2015, so crazy to me that in academia I have to plan that far out, but I'm very thankful that I have secured employment through May.

 

[ProfWife]

momwithbabies - going to wait until the weekend to test?

We just got back from vacation in the mountains. I was getting worried as I wasn't seeing the progression of opks. However, on our way there and the day after we arrived, BOOM, DARK opks. So, it likely happened over the weekend away. Now, we wait. I go back to work next week for pre-planning, AND hubby is out of town for a work trip. So, he'll be out of town when I'm testing. I ordered my online cheapies to test. I'm saving my ClearBlue digital for confirmation.

Crossing fingers for a vacation baby!

 

[newbie2013]

I'm all good. Haven't dtd again but hope to tonight. I'm really tired, though. Had a brilliant 3 hour online interactive lecture/discussion this morning, but slept late and had to get up early for the lecture. Worth it but tired now.

How's everyone else?

 

[Lazydaisys]

Fingers crossed pro-wife. Xx

You were in my backyard!!! (well, almost)

FX for you this time around.

I understand what you mean about the advance planning! I defend in a few months and am already worried about mid-year employment prospects!

I cannot believe your LO is already 6 months old, I remember when you got your BFP!

My FX are super crossed for you! I think you have such a great chance this time!

AFM... CD 7... weird fertile signs despite last day of Femara. Research tells me it's normal, actually likely a good sign of rapidly maturing follicles stimulated by FSH. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed. This is probably the best chance I've had in awhile, my first of the last three I think I'm willing to go with meds - so I need this to work out before I contemplate quitting TTC forever in Oct.
