temp back down to coverline...realllllly feeling out now. *sigh* I kinda expected not to get a bfp this cycle since dh was sick and not really feeling it when it was time to bd....and then me getting my uti the start of the 2ww. I think I am going to take a break from bnb. I'm going to try to stop temping again and maybe not using any opks. I am just going to do the same thing I did last time got preggo and just use preseed. Don't think dh's timing will be great for bding but we will make it work.

hi gals! went and saw RE yesterday - to sum up, he said we have unexplained infertility, i have PCOS, his SA is amazing, and he wants me to do clomid and an HSG next cycle. so now i'm waiting - waiting for ovulation (or not), waiting for cd1, waiting for clomid., laus, i also hate fucking waiting. i feel like it's all i do nowadays.

 

[Snizuitz]

Mirolee--That's good that you've got a plan. Are you doing the HSG this cycle and then starting Clomid after? That's good news that the SA was great-- very positive news!!

Heather-- I'm sorry about your temps. It SO sucks to feel like you're out. But you're not! Not until that evil AF shows up. Good luck!!

AFM-- no one noticed the shoes until I pointed it out to the lady who works in the cafeteria. She got a kick out of it and asked me this morning, "Got your shoes on?" Lol. Luckily for me, I had brought my sneakers to do a bit of walking at lunch. I changed into those ASAP and stayed in them all day. It was wonderful!

 

[Brayr08]

Hey girls!

Heather, I'm sorry about the temp drop. Totally sucks. I hope if you're out that doing what you used to will work better for you.

Mirolee, I think unexplained infertillity is terrible. Hopefully the HSG and/or the clomid will do the trick for you and it won't matter anymore. When you get to my point (I pray none of you get to my point) you just want to know WHY?! If we're both fertile, WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?!

Barb, that's hilarious about the shoes. If it makes you feel any better, I was wearing a flippy skirt yesterday and decided to walk down the street for lunch. On my way back (on a very busy street mind you) my skirt flipped up. Thankfully I was wearing a coat that at least covered my crotch so no one saw my undies, but still...

AFM, going back up to the FS today to have a consult w/my doc. I'm hoping to get some answers and see what direction we're heading (even though I already know). Will update you girls later. Hopefully I'll have some positive news.

 

[Snizuitz]

Rach-- thanks for the commiseration! Lol. One time, I left the house, got in my car, started it up and realized I had forgotten to put on my skirt! Luckily I was wearing a slip. Lol! Where is my brain sometimes?! I think I'm like an absent-minded professor-- I know a lot about a few things, but my common sense is lacking at times.

Oh, and good luck at the FS, Rach. I am right behind you on the path to IVF and it is pretty scary. Sometimes we just need to sacrifice everything-- including our patience, fear, etc.-- for God to bless us. And, boy, will he! I really believe that.

And to us all--

 

[Brayr08]

So here is a summery of what the FS had to say:

Hubs is fine, I'm fine. Doc wouldn't be surprised if we were to get pregnant on our own. He made comments about how he couldn't believe we haven't given up on him after all this time. He basically said that we could continute to do IUI, but there isn't much point. (Not his exact words, but what he was implying) He thought b/c of my age, hubs sperm and my health we would have over a 55% chance of concieving. Still a little low for my likings, especially since we're only going to be able to do this once. They're going to do an analysis on DH sperm from the last two times we did IUI to see what his morphology or motility rate is. I can't remember. What ever it is, it was still in the normal range last time, just a percentage lower than they like. So, DH is going to talk w/his grandfather this weekend to see about helping us fund IVF. I'm also going to call the billing department to see what insurance will and won't cover and have a better idea of what we'll actually have to pay. So, as long as DH grandpa is willing to help...IVF...HERE WE COME!

 

[Snizuitz]

Rach- I'm so sorry! I hope gramps comes through so the money will be handled! We're going to have to do a payment plan if we end up doing IVF. I've already talked to the clinic's financial people about it-- doesn't hurt to be prepared!

I think 55% is actually great odds! Isn't it something like a 15-25% chance each month for a "normal" couple of "average" age trying naturally? So, 55% is significantly better!

I think my RE said we have a 30% chance doing IVF and she said that was such a good chance that she would not transfer more embryos than we're willing to raise-- meaning that since we're good with twins, but hesitant about triplets, she'll only transfer up to two embryos.

Praying for you!

 

[HWPG]

rach, i know it sounds odd to say "great news", but i'm glad to hear your dr is so optimistic, and it kinda sounds like you are too. i have HUGE hopes for you (not that you need another person to say that) but i've always got you in the back of my mind.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

hello gals. i got af yesterday. So looking forward to O this cycle and i'll be damned if it don't work this time! lol

rach-whatever you decide, I pray it happens and especially if your choosing ivf soon. EEk i'm excited to even think about that!

mirolee-hang in there hun. hopefully your one of those woman with unexplained infertility that end up just getting pregnant shockingly and magically natural. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[Snizuitz]

So, how is everyone doing? Hanging in there?

I'm 6 DPO and just wishing there was a telltale and immediate sign if I was pregnant. Like a birthmark that turns green upon conception or something. This might be my worst TWW yet. I have 8 more days until the RE is going to do a blood test, but I'll honestly probably cave a do a home test before then. Maybe 6 days? I don't know.

Even though I know all my symptoms could be caused by the trigger shot or by the progesterone I'm on, I still am noticing every little thing. The next 8 days are going to be the death of me.

 

[HWPG]

TWW= sucky. (barb, you can do it!)

 

[Brayr08]

Heather, I know you use the digi OPKs, but have you seen the new digis from Clear Blue called Advanced Digital Ovulation Test? It acts a lot like the Fertility monitors. It measures your estorgen and LH levels. So you get High Fertile Days (smiley face with extra cirles around it) and your Peak Fertile Days (smiley face). It's supposed to give you 4 fertile days apposed to just two. I picked up a two month pack to see how they work.

Barb, I hope this works for you girl. I know I'm being hypocritcal in saying this, but try not to test too early. Those damn trigger shots can get your hopes up with a positive HPT.

Laura, Mirolee, I hope things are going well for you girls.

AFM, DH and I decided to take a break from anything doctor related for a while. I'm just going to focus on getting myself healthy. We're still going to actively try, but on our own. I'm going to use those new digi OPKS and start using FertileCM. It will be nice to take a break for a while.

 

[Snizuitz]

Rach-- I'm glad that you'll be getting a break first. It might be just what you need! And, yeah, I know what you mean about testing too early. I'll try to be strong so I don't have to deal with a false positive. (So difficult!)

 

[Snizuitz]

So, some kinda bad news yesterday for us. My progesterone level was only 15 even though I've been taking extra progesterone daily. Now I have to take it twice a day (vaginal cream kind-- it's so gross!).

But it must be working because so far today, I've fought back tears three times already. Lol-- hormones are so weird!

How are you all doing? Been pretty quiet around here lately!

 

[HWPG]

hi ladies! i am having a sad day, and not doing well with it. normally i can talk myself off the edge, but i'm not getting very receptive listeners in real life, so i've been blinking back tears all day. basically what set it off is my bff is in the hospital in labor. i know in a few weeks i'll be starting clomid, and that could lead to exciting things, but today i just feel left behind and not part of something so big and awesome that i (we!) all want so badly. so today i'm going to be sad; tomorrow i'll get back the positive go-get-'em attitude.

 

[Snizuitz]

Mirolee - I'm so sorry! It's so hard to watch people get what you've been wanting with all your heart.And it's even harder when those around you aren't all that sympathetic. Grr!

Try to focus on what's ahead, like you said. An extra couple months will be so worth it in the end, right? We're here for you, sweetie!

 

[tlk71411]

Hi ladies! Hope you don't mind me joining...
I miscarried baby#2 March 19 at 6w2d. I passed the baby March 24, stopped bleeding completely March 28th. DTD 27th- 3rd. Had o-like pains yesterday so fx we got lucky had a faint bfp from mc yesterday, testing again on the 9th for a bfn or darker bfp!! Baby dust to all!!!

 

[HWPG]

Tlk, sorry for your loss. Of course you are welcome here, lost of luck!

 

[tlk71411]

I just saw your post about having a sad day! I know how you feel. The same week I miscarried I had to go to my close friend's baby shower, more than one friend posted u/s pics on Facebook announcing their pregnancy, and my aunt had her baby. It's miserable when you want it so much!

 

[laustiredttc]

Hey ladies sorry i have been mia, i have had a really sucky easter Some of my family came to see me Thurs and on the Fri morning my dad was sent to hospital with breathing problems. He was discharged Tue but it was quite bad and stressful for while, i'm just drained. anyway how are you girls?

Mirolee, i know how you feel hun, i'm just waiting for either my sil or brothers gf to announce another pregnancy soon as they have said they want more soon. I dont know how i will handle it but i know i just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other. You have support here sweetie, let of some steam whenever you need to

Rach, i hope the break does you some good and you get to recharge your batteries. My mum always says life happens when your busy with other stuff so maybe this is good hun. fx

Barb, i'm sorry about the low proges but it sounds like it's working so hoping its a good sign, gl sweetie.

Welcome TLK, just been through a mc myself recently and it was a very sad experience as well as other ladies on here as well so know how you feel hun. I hope that you catch O and get your bfp soon sweetie.
