Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[MamaTo2Girls]

hi gals. i'm sorry you all are still not preggo. I just started my af yesterday...and low and behold my sister in law is pregnant with her 4th kid. UGH! It makes me sooo mad and i'm sad and I slept like crap lastnight and everytime I woke up i thought about her being pregnant. I want to be pregnant, I just want my baby boy back! WHY WHY WHY!? I had to come on here to vent and I hope you ladies are ok with me just jumping in every once in awhile, but I can't stay away. You guys are a good part of my support system and husband doesn't understand why his brother and wife being pregnant upsets me or let it bother me. DUH!? Cuz your a man and haven't experienced pregnancy for yourself, so you have NO IDEA how it feels!! I asked him if we could try this cycle and he said if i think we can afford it and see how his meeting at work goes next week to see if he gets laid off or not. Honestly, I don't know if we can afford it, but i kind of look at it as, well if God makes me pregnant, then it's meant to be, we always find a way to get by and if I wouldnt have lost my baby last year then we would have a 3rd child. OH! and I also want to try because if I get preggo this cycle I would find out right before the anniversary of my miscarriage last year. It's very important this works for me. Prayers are greatly appreciated. I bought some digital opks and I have some pressed left to use and his days off around the time I should O are pretty good, so I hope it works. Thanks for listening gals and I'm rooting for you all so bad. Your time has to be coming very soon.

hi heather! thanks for posting.... we LOVE for you to jump in whenever you want! sending prayers your way, definitely. we love you and will always listen to you.
afm, cd37, hoping ov is coming soon. feeling symptoms but have had those earlier in the cycle and no ov. as much as i get crazy over opks and having sex, i like taking my temp because it really does help me anticipate when my period will be. i've been very anxious lately, and it's doing me no good. i feel like i complain all the time. i'm pathetic. do we have enough sex? why is my bff asking me to come to her baby shower, but when i decline, she doesnt understand - and it's on my bday! so, stay calm and carry on - i'm working on it!

Sitting here, drinking, trying to ignore DH's family talk to my SIL about the baby she's going to have in May. Shoot me...

 

[HWPG]

Oh bray! I'm right there with you dear!

 

[Brayr08]

I dreampt last night I got my BFP and was trying to figure out how to tell everyone. Bah...hate those dreams.

 

[HWPG]

dreams can still come true! (i hate them also. i hate worse when i dream of other people who get bfps, usually by accident.)

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

awwww rachael...i'm sorry you had to deal with sitting there and hearing about your sil pregnancy. Can't they remove those cysts? Or do they not affect that ovary? This has to be your year. It just does, for all of you and me.

 

[HWPG]

Mama, love the sig update!

 

[laustiredttc]

oh ladies my love and prayers go out to you. girls i promise it will happen for us all i just know it will, then all of this anguish will be in the past.

Mama, were always here huni, so vent away as much as you want

Mirolee, what if you have already o and it is implantation spotting? Also the acupuncture is great and i'm sure your going to love it!

Rachael, i had a dream like that a couple of weeks ago so i know how it feels to wake up and feel the disappointment. But dreams can come true huni and were here every step of the way. Also i am going to use a needless syringe to insert hubbys sperm close to my cervix, thought may as well give it a go

cd9 for me and hubby is away till wed so will bd when he gets home.

 

[Brayr08]

HW-I saw the pic and I'm like, who is that? hahahaha!

Well girls, I go in for IUI #4 tomorrow. I've got one good sized follicle, so here's hoping all goes well.

 

[HWPG]

rach, i am sending ANYTHING i've got to you - prayers, karma, blessings from my fertility god statue in my room, incencse burning - you name it!
afm, cd42 or something. had blood drawn today: testosterone, fsh, lh, prolactin, tsh, and t4 (seriously, it's gonna be like $500 in bloodwork, gag). but whatever! no ovulation yet, no period - we need to jump start this train! and i told OH that it's gonna soon be time for SA, so get ready. i'm excited to hopefully get some more info about my body and nab me a BFP!

 

[Brayr08]

I'm glad you got some blood. I hate that you had to though. When do you get your results?

 

[HWPG]

i dunno. but i'm a crazy patient; i'll be calling tomorrow.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Rach- I hope tomorrow is the last IUI for you and you get a bfp in a few weeks. I truly truly truly hope this works this time. hugs!

Mirolee-I can't believe your that far and nothing? has this ever happened before? Areyou sure you couldn't have possibly O and are preggo? If not, I hope something on the bloodwork shows and is easily correctible and get things going again smoothly and you get preggo the next cycle. hugs!

Laura-how is everything? miss you!

 

[Brayr08]

Mirolee-Have you heard from the docs yet?

Had my IUI yesterday. Hubs had a count of 106.3 million. Honestly, I'm really calm about this month. I'll be okay no matter what the results are.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

that good, Rach. FX FX FX! Glad you are calm about things...stress doesn't help anything! (look who's talking, I'm a stress freak!) Seriously, I need to calm down too.

 

[HWPG]

ok, results are in:
FSH: 6.5, LH: 23.6; Prolactin: 12.5; TSH 1.47
if any of you have any input about these levels. i'd love to hear. my dr said they are all "normal" but i re-explained to her that i am on cycle 40somethin' - and would like some direction - do i continue to wait, or do we do something? so we'll see what she says!
a quick look (at that link) indicates that my LH is quite high, esp compared to my FSH. PCOS? my older sister has been diagnosed with it, and i think that while i dont have most symptoms, it's a possibility. looks like i have good ovarian reserve levels. feeling a lot better and not too worried; i just need a jumpstart! it could also mean a cyst, and i've had on and off again cramps on my right side since july, so that wouldnt surprise me. i'm trying to stay positive because it seems like i've had consistent temp patterns indicating ovulation up until this cycle. i'm in pretty good physical shape, good diet, good weight, etc - so i'm hopeful! acupuncture monday, hoping that will get things moving again.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

mirolee-are you taking baby aspirin and a prenatal vitamin daily to help with ttc? If not, I highly recommend it.

 

[HWPG]

i am def taking a prenatal; have been for a while (i mean, it's a multi vitamin, so i switched from those to prenatals, no loss). i was taking baby aspirin but my dr asked me to stop. i'm debating on going back on for the hell of it.

 

[Brayr08]

When are you supposed to hear back from your dr about getting your cycle moving Mirolee?

So girls, I'm thinking I didn't ovulate. My nips are always sore when I ovulate and they aren't sore what-so-ever. Oh well. Looks like I get to go on vacation in a couple of weeks.
