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

[ProfWife]

It's going to need to be LazyDaisys. I'm out again. :-/

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys Being in limbo is hard. I hope you got two lines today.

@newbie2013 I hope you all get BFPs all around. You ladies deserve it! Yay for af being gone. I hope he does decide to go in this time.

@ProfWife I'm sorry. I really hope this cycle is the one. I'm sending lots of hope your way.

 

[pathos]

Oh, sorry profwife! I hope this cycle brings your bfp.
Lazydaisys, I hope you will come bsck with good news.

 

[Lazydaisys]

Sorry pro wife I stopped the progesterone and AF came two days later. I'm on day 5 now. Having another iui may. Only a year after we started this thread!!!! Lol x

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys I'm very hopeful for the iui in May. I hope af leaves soon. Will you have another cycle before the iui or is it next?

 

[Lazydaisys]

Having a cycle break. On day 5 of this cycle will start the clomid day 2 of next cycle. X

 

[ProfWife]

Sounds like we're in this together again this cycle.

I'm starting to drink rooibos tea...thinking of getting maca.

This journey is just so hard. I'm already counting myself out, and AF has barely left.

(I know I sound a little doom and gloom today...fatigue makes me get a little whiny...bear with me. I get to sleep in tomorrow and will likely be right as rain again).

Pro wife have you had an ultrasound to look at your follicles? I only ask because if they aren't maturing enough then it could keep you from getting pregnant. Also wondered if you had been tested for antisperm antibodies. If you were positive for it then they would kill the sperm before they got to the egg. There was a lady in another forum that was positive for it and her body was killing 95% of the sperm that were entering. We were at a year and a half ttc when I got pregnant so I've been in your shoes. Just don't give up hope.

 

[Lazydaisys]

Hey there pro wife. I've been down in the dumps too. We can do it!!!!! Xxxxxxxx

 

[ProfWife]

They did ultrasounds during our testing phase, but I can't get them done each month (insurance won't cover and I can't get off work to match their schedule as their ultrasound tech only works during my school day).

Nothing would indicate a lack of maturation though. The last time they did an ultrasound (a year ago January) I was within about 2 days of ovulation and they could tell that I had one jumbo sized follicle dominating. So, they didn't seem concerned that it wasn't rupturing or that it wasn't maturing.

If we aren't pregnant within the next year, they'll be looking for a hostile environment for the semen, but overall it just means I'd end up needing to go the IUI route, which I'd be doing by October anyway. So, I'm not sure how useful the test would be overall.

 

[Hopeful2014]

Happy Easter! I hope you all had a great weekend.

 

[Lazydaisys]

Hope everybody ate lots of yummy chocolate. I did xx

 

[nikkilucky77]

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a good Easter. I am on CD 10 or so I think and just waiting to ovulate. Sounds like we have some down in the dumps attitudes. I get it...been going through it as well.

Prowife: I get the insurance thing. I have a yearly in June and I was hoping I would be pregnant by then. I guess the next thing will be to do some testing. I really was hoping for no testing and the natural approach . Good luck to you hun!

I have been praying for each one of us and hopes to get pregnant as well as safe pregnancies for our friends that are expecting. I hope it helps!

 

[Lazydaisys]

I'm on day 9

I've got some new approaches and retrying some previous ideas for this month. I've got my positive attitude back. I have new acupuncture lady that specialises in infertility. She's helped me to feel more positive. I'm going to go to see her weekly on Saturdays this cycle which is a natural cycle and she will support my iui next cycle. I will be using clomid, with estrogen to help thicken the lining and progesterone after ov.

She has given me weird excersises a to do this week daily to thicken my lining up for ov. She's given me a strange candle that looks like a cigar to burn and hold over acupuncture point below my belly. This is suppose to encourage my lining to grow.

I'm also back on the raspberry leaf before ov, drinking plenty of water. Eating eggs, spinach, cabbage, a range of nuts, drinking pomegranate juice, eating homous. Trying to cut back on the sugar. Having lots of early nights, light jogging, and trying to let work stress lift over my head.
Bding every other day.

Do you guys have any strategy for this cycle?

 

[momwithbabies]

Hi, everyone. I'm down in the dumps as well, but we had a wonderful Easter. I took a test Easter morning...negative of course. So, I'm patiently waiting for AF to arrive. I bet she will arrive right in the middle of my students' State assessment (it seems to do that every year). Ahhhh! I hope everyone is well.

 

[ProfWife]

momwithbabies...I HATED that! Worst timing EVER!

Granted, this time mine started the day my bf found out she was expecting (first month). Figures.

AFM - CD 10. EWCM this morning, nearly positive opk. It's a little early for me, but we're gettin' busy tonight!

Also finally started a blog about our infertility journey. Anyone interested, PM me. It's a private blog, so I have to get your email and approve readers. We aren't ready to go 100% public as my school admins aren't aware of our situation.

 

[momwithbabies]

Thank you, ProfWife! Yay for the nearly positive OPK!!!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys I'm so glad you are feeling more positive. I think it will help. The acupuncture sounds very interesting. I've always wondered about it. I think your plan sounds good! I really hope this is it!

@nikkilucky77 I hope you are pregnant by June. I hope this cycle is the one. My hopes are with all of you. I can't wait to add more BFPs soon.

@momwithbabies I hope af doesn't come at all and especially not while in testing. I always hated af when I was teaching. Good luck with the state assessments!

@ProfWife I'm sorry that it started on the day you found out about your friend. I know that stings. Good luck tonight! I'd like to follow your blog. I'll PM you when I'm on the computer as it's hard to do on here.

 

[Lazydaisys]

Been googling. Think the candle thing is moxibustion??!! Anybody heard of it? I'm warming my uterus up as we speak!!!

Back to work after two weeks off. Staying stress free was a little harder than I planned. I'm manage my friend and she's being a right a pain. Work and friendship is a very bad combination!! xx

 

[ProfWife]

Hey ladies, what do you think...almost positive or positive?
