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

[Hopeful2014]

@momwithbabies My thoughts are with your whole family. I know all of you are feeling the loss and I know that it will be hard in the coming weeks. Remember that we are here for you.

@newbie2013 I'm glad your dh is getting better and I hope that traveling wasn't so hard on him.

@ClandestineTX I'll send my levels as soon as I finish writing. Thanks for looking at them! I know they are "normal" per the reference ranges, but I just want to make sure we are not missing something and to see if I should push harder when I go to the meeting with the specialist. YAY for an earlier ovulation and a normal cycle! I'm sorry about the fading tests. I really hope this new plan leads to a strong line and ultimately a beautiful baby.

@ProfWife Congrats on a wonderful scan! I'm glad your dad is doing better.

@athena87 Good luck.


Are any of you watching Scream Queens? It's so funny and a true guilty pleasure. Speaking of it, do you have any plans/events/costumes/shows/movies that you're looking forward to for Halloween?

@ProfWife: I hope your cold clears soon!

@Hopeful: I am actually going to a haunted house with my husband and youngest cousin (turning 19) on Friday for his birthday. We have kind of adopted him (after kind of adopting my older brother and then one of his friends). We use the back yard house as a place of refuge for people who are trying to get their shit together. My karma must be some shade of golden at this point and I'm not one to think of myself as a nice person, but I think I am nicer than I give myself credit for being.

I am very much on the same team as Hopeful in terms of trying to focus on myself and my health and my life. I have started crafting classes this week, think my hiatus from my second job may become permanent, as I am ever so slowing getting back into my life.

I also had a blazing +OPK this morning (followed by base coverage), so definitely sold on sticking with Femara at least for now.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[pathos]

yay for the heart beat!

i love autumn and i love and love crocheting in autumn... but holy baby snots are dominating our lives lately le sigh.

gl with all those +opks

 

[ProfWife]

Hope those +OPKs lead to more positives in the future!

BTW- DAD IS HOME!! He's doing very, very well. Now we're just hoping everyone has an excellent night's sleep in their own beds tonight. Home Healthcare picks up with them tomorrow (nurses, occupational and physical therapy). We are so thankful that once again he's proven he's stronger than his adversity and that his will to be strong again outweighed his exhaustion. I haven't seen him so happy and comfortable. I'm so relieved!

 

[ClandestineTX]

I am happy that your dad is OK, ProfWife!

KMFX here for something this round, but not holding my breath (as usual).
Did go out to a fun haunted house last night, at least!

 

[ProfWife]

I used to love haunted houses...can't handle them anymore, sadly. My nerves get frazzled too quickly. My sister and brother-in-law go to Halloween Horror Nights every year...I don't even like the commercials or signs on the road!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Glad dad is doing better prowife. I found any stress made my sickness worse. I found nibbling on dried crackers helped and avoiding lots of smells.

Finally after joining this thread I have my baby girl in my arms today. She was born on Monday weighing 9 pounds 4 ounces. Over the moon. Can't believe it was four years ago when we decided to have a baby and it's certainly been a journey. We are both happy and well.

Good luck and best wishes to everybody on this thread. I'll continue to nosey in on you all and keep up dates as I'm always thinking of you ladies xx

 

[ProfWife]

Congratulations, Lazy! Enjoy the moments while she's still little. Glad to hear you're doing well!

 

[newbie2013]

Congrats lazy! So happy for you.

 

[kksy9b]

congratulations lazydaisys! Enjoy all those newborn snuggles with your sweet little girl

 

[ClandestineTX]

Congrats Lazydaisys! Glad to hear all is well!

 

[pathos]

congratulations lazydaisys!

 

[momwithbabies]

Congratulations! Please take care and enjoy that sweet baby! What a blessing!

 

[athena87]

Congrats lazydaisys, enjoy, it goes by so quickly.

I got a bfp this cycle at 15 dpo, but sadly it ended up being a chemical

 

[ProfWife]

Athena - so sorry...hate those.

 

[kksy9b]

so sorry athena

Hi ladies,

CD27 and no spotting yet. Dh finally did the computer assisted sa and got the results. I made an appointment with the doctor for tomorrow to work out what the next step is for us. The results were on but not great. Everything was good except progressive motility, which was just lower than the WHO recommendations. How do you increase motility?

How's everyone? Where are you at with cycles/treatment?

 

[ProfWife]

My hubs ended up trying CoQ10 and one of the fertility vitamins. Granted, even with our iui, there wasn't a great motility - barely above the threshold. Worked though. Even slow progression is progress!

There's a lady I have known on here whose husband had a prescription for Clomid (and it worked, she's due next month).

I'm CD 11, thankfully too busy with work and visiting family to care too much about waiting for ovulation. I think my body is still wonky from the medication issues at the end of the summer, so not getting too optimistic until I'm sure all that is settled.

 

[ProfWife]

I've heard of men being on clomid, too (sometimes at the same time as the wife...which I'm sure must be interesting). I've heard good things from that as well.

Clande - I'm so glad you're getting the chance to visit with friends and family! I'm sure you don't get many chances to do that with your schedule.
