Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

That's awesome Barb! I have Blue Cross Blue Shield for insurance and they basically cover everything except the IUI and the sperm wash. I still have to pay a copay on some things, but it's a lot better than having to pay full price!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Mirolee-that is great news, so glad everything went well! Now on to the next step! Getting there, girl...one step closer to a bfp!

Barb-So happy they are letting you do Femara instead. FX for you it works this time!

AFM-cd17,i had to wake up a half hour earlier than yesterday when i temped to get a shower and get ready for my appt. My temp went up .2 degrees, so i don't know if i would consider that O, but i heard or read for every half hour earlier you wake, to add .1 degree...so i guess all i can do is see what it is tomorrow, but just curious if I did O yesterday or i am today. Hopefully we still have time in case and get to bd tonight one last time?

As for the appt....it wasn't a hernia, it's pretty superficial (close to the skin) and really all they did was recommend me to see a general surgeon and see if they want to remove it or just watch it. It measured 1cm.

DH has these hard spots under his skin all over his torso and his doc said they were just fatty tumors. Which are harmless. His get sore on occasion, but usually don't bother him. The doc told him they could remove them if he wanted, but there was a good chance they would just grow back. Wondering if it's something similar?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

possibly Rach---thanks for the info. Now that I now they are right under the skin. They probly are just harmless. Makes me feel better.

 

[TTC_second_LO]

HELP!!! 7 DPO AND CERVIX IS SHOW??? Help??? Lol CM is abundant and creaky colored. I feel very wet on the inside and everything is soft and plump.???

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

hard to say TTC, could be a good sign or could go the other way...the cervix changes throughout the day. It is not a reliable source to confirm pregnancy. No worries...just wait a few more days and test with an hpt. Good luck to you.

 

[laustiredttc]

wooo hoooo some great news on here ladies.

mirolee, thats awesome huni, congrats

Barb, i'm really happy that they decided to put you on fermera i hope that it works for you guys, keeping fx for you

Heather, i'm glad that its nothing to be worried about. At least now you can relax. Maybe take some time to think about what you want to do but i wouldnt worry now that they said its nothing serious

Hey Rach, how are you feeling huni? The job is an occupational therapy assistant

Afm, well the inetrview went really well so i'm hoping to hear back mon? will keep you updated ladies on what happens. Its crazy but i think i'm O today. I'm not going to bd though as i want to wait for the next cycle. Just to let my body reset Feeling emotionally better now and more normal i guess, whatever that is?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Laura-You really don't have to wait since it happened so early. But it is your choice and whatever you are comfortable with. That job sounds great and I hope you get it!

 

[Brayr08]

Girls, I am ich'n to POAS SOOO BAD!!! Thankfully I don't have any right now. I'll be 10DPO on Tuesday & I can't wait any longer than that.
Hope you're all having a good weekend. Im anxious for it to start warming up. It's supposed to be in the 30's & snowy & rainy all week. Yuck!!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Best of luck to you girl....only 2 more days!!! How exciting!! Are you feeling any different? FX for you!

AFM-OMG I have the worst UTI right now. Peliv pain/pressure, blood in urine (sorry tmi)...hope this doesn't screw anything up for egg implanting, etc. I'm gonna say Iam out already!

 

[HWPG]

Oh heather, I am SO sorry. I've had many UTIs in my past, and I actually keep antibiotics in my house for that reason. Blech.
Rach. Can't wait to hear!
Afm, waiting to ov. CP seems to be raising, except not doing opks so just going to do every other day. feeling actually pretty good right now.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Sounds like a good plan, Mirolee. I've had a uti or 2 before but never this bad. Man they suck... i really hope it doesn't mess up my body and affect achieving pregnancy. I'm going to google bfp's with uti, lol.

 

[Snizuitz]

Oh, Heather! I'm so sorry. I HATE UTI's!

Rach-- I realized I didn't answer your question. I'm taking Femara CD3-7. So far so good! I have been tired and foggy-brained as expected. I am feeling some joint pain which I don't remember last time. I read it can be a side effect.

 

[Brayr08]

I'm sorry to hear that Heather. Were you able to find any success stories of ppl with UTI's?

Barb, do they do an ultra sound at the end of the 7 days or do you just start taking OPK's and go from there?

AFM, just feeling really down and pesamistic. I'm going to test tomorrow at 10DPO, but am wholey expecting it to be negative and to continue to be negative. I'm just mentally preparing myself for the let down and having to move on to IVF. Sorry to be such a downer ladies. Hope all of you are having a good day.

Oh and Mirolee HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!

 

[HWPG]

stay strong rach.

 

[Snizuitz]

Rach-- I totally get it; I'm sure we all do! Sometimes it just feels like a no. But, there's still hope. There are all those stories where women were convinced it wasn't this month, but it turned out to be. Anyway, it's not over until the witch gets ya.

Yes, we are doing ultrasounds. They did a baseline U/S last Friday to check for cysts and we're doing another this coming Friday (CD10) to see how the eggs are developing. I'll also get a trigger shot to make sure the eggs release and I'll be on progesterone cream (ick!). I actually like doing U/S and trigger shots-- takes the stress and guess work out of figuring out when I ovulated!

I think we'll do Femara for a few months and then move on to IVF in the summer if we're not pregnant by then. I really hope this works for us-- IVF terrifies me! All those shots and hormones? Ugh. But I'll do it if I have to. And then I'll never let my kid(s) forget how hard I worked to get them here. Mwahaha!

 

[Brayr08]

Barb, I agree! I hated the months when I wasn't being observed and had to guess when I ovulated.

So, I tested this morning and I saw a VERY faint line. So, it's either left overs from my trigger shot, an evap line or the start of my BFP. Obviously I'm hoping for the latter. I'll test again tomorrow to see if it gets darker or dissappears. I know I should probably wait until Thursday, but yea, there is no way that's going to happen.

 

[laustiredttc]

oh heather i'm sorry huni uti are really a bitc* hope you feel better soon huni. Did you find anything on google and bfp?

Rach, i know its super hard but try to stay as positive as possible, alot of women who wholly felt out went on to get their bfp. Like barb said your not out until the shows.

Barb, i'm terrified of doing ivf as well hun but if it means being able to hold my baby in my arms then i would march into a clinic tomorrow if i could. I hope the fermera works and you dont get any more side effects gl hun

Mirolee, its great your chilling out with this cycle and bding every other day. Sometimes its nice just to relax and enjoy things more

afm, well great news as i got the job. Got a call yesterday. Just waiting for them to sort documents and get references etc... then i will have to go on an induction week but i cant wait to get started. Also just waiting for first period to come and then we will be jumping on the ttc wagon again. Really hope that it happens quick this time, if not got ivf end of summer.

 

[HWPG]

oh. my. god. rachael. i cant say how much i am hoping, wishing, and praying for you!

 

[Brayr08]

Thanks Mirolee! I am trying REALLY hard not to get too excited, but it's really hard not to.
