November Fall Testers (107)... (22) BFPs! Here we are! Find your TTC/Buddy!

[meant2bamom]

Sholi - must have been a different thread. I think this is a sign I spend too much time on these forums!!!

Loro - I have no advice sorry Hope you get an answer!

Echo - You have to pay for regular check ups? Thats awful! makes me very grateful to live in Canada.

 

[luna_19]

Loro i'm so glad your dh agreed to see a specialist

Echo that sucks about your insurance, fertility treatments aren't covered here but at least the testing is

 

[lorojovanos]

ECHO- That stinks big time, that is one thing I am very grateful for, is our OHIP coverage. It's amazing. We normally have to wait quite a long time to see a specialist for example, but it costs nothing.
LUNA- Matt didnt necessarily agree to see a specilaist, they just called and said we have an apt and gave it to me. BUT he didnt decline or even question going At some point, we have to have the discussion, before going there, how far we are willing to go. I just kind of want to ask myself all of these questions first, so I'm prepared when he and I have the talk...It's always been a "what if" scenario, and now that its a "have to" situation, I really dont know how far i want to go. It's a lot of soul searching. For sure, he needs to have an SA and I need ALL my b/w done, U/S, maybe HSG... If there is any issue with a blocked tube etc, our coverage pays for part of IUI and IVF... But, for all I know, Matt may only want to just try Femara or something. To be honest, we never really thought we would have to go...

Sorry you are having to go through all of this loro...
AFM tested this am and BFN....either 11 or 12 dpo, not ssure. Had some pinkish cm when I wiped two x this am, but that was all. Seems a little late for IB, so trying not to loose all hope. Hope its not AF early. Not due for her until fri.....

This is not entirely true LOL. It does cost us... in tax dollars. We pay WAY MORE taxes then they do in the USA, and some of that money pays the drs, so we don't have to pay at each visit.

PMA LADIES... You are NOT out of this egg chase if there is = good sign!! FXD


SHOLI That's exactly how I was, after losses it was so easy for me to embrace the pregnancy symptoms that I had....


LINDSS I would say test in 2-3 days to let HCG build Hun, you aren't out, there is no AF! Look at my chart, I didn't get a BFP till well past AF in numerous cycles


STEVI11 so Awesome that you were able to wait, hang in there Hun, no AF is a good sign. You can check my chart out too, I got negatives in the past pregnancies but then 18DPO BFPs


READYNWILLING Not that I am an expert, but sure have been doing this and charting for a long while. LP is not necessarily the same all the time. You can click my chart below and see alot of my 37 cycles to include any meds or anything (none of which I took for TTC) and see that an LP is not always the same in the majority of women. Infact an LP is typically with 2-3 days the same. There are more times that it does occur the same length but by no means the same. That is the great part about charting. As well, I think it was mentioned in the thread that charting is only good for confirming OV, but that is only partially right, because charting will help to show that your LP varies by no more than 3 days and also shows a range for OV so that the following month you can get a better guess... GL Hun!


LOROJOVANOS I think the information that you gave shows me that my first FS appt was different than what yours will be, as well as I am in the US so it is likely different how they set it up. But based on past OBGYN information, and the info that I was able to give upon arriving, our first appt was alot of communication, explaining our wishes why we were there, explaining the options that they offered (IUI, IVF, etc), then we discussed other test results from my doc (I've had HSGs, etc). We got blood drawn (ALOT), we made a decision to which option we would start with, got information, donor sites, etc, and then we left. GL, hope this info helped...


so sorry that AF has flown in on you CHARLIEGIRL27 I hope that you will join us again on your next cycle! Here we are: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/t...-ttc-bump-buddy-holiday-bfp.html#post23115879


Ladies wanting to Chart/temp Click on my chart in my signature, sign up for a free account there and then fertilityfriend has awesome charting and temping information to follow. It is truly a helpful OV tool and tool to get to know your cycle.


Please look at page 187 once you have OV confirmed and before you start testing, for motivation on the chase! GL!

AF is suppose to come tomorrow. No sign of the Witch coming. Fingers Crossed!

All I was meaning is I'm thankful I can go to the Dr, take my son to the Dr's, anything can be wrong, and I dont have to hesitate, or worry that I dont have enough money in my pocket.

 

[echo]

Taxes pay for services, works the same way in the US, too, but not for healthcare. Out of pocket would cost my husband and I about $500/month for $60 co-pay, and $3000 deductible. I am just going to continue the all natural route. I don't need healthcare for any other reason. And luckily in my state, no one is refused service for lack of coverage, and one of the top 100 hospitals in the nation is 5 minutes from my house. And I've been looking, there are fertility grants out there for the uninsured. Who knows what will happen, for now, I will just deal with not knowing what my hormone levels are, and stuff. It's okay.
Good luck Loro, I'm happy you get to move forward. However you decide to move on, I wish you the best.

 

[Crystal5483]

ECHO that is awful I'm SO thankful for my company as they pay a HUGE portion of our healthcare costs. That sucks that you do not qualify. My mom was on one for like $30/month. I think it was Community something. That was two years ago.

 

[echo]

Yeah, that's what I don't qualify for. Community care, I think it's called. Neither does my husband, whose company offers no benefits whatsoever. How is this healthcare mandate fair to those of us left in the gray area?

 

[Crystal5483]

That's annoying

 

[echo]

Indeed.

I should write to the government once a week and see if anything happens, lol.

 

[hopeforbfp]

Echo that sucks. When I was going to school we got private healthcare for just me and left my husband uninsured. I had/have kaiser. I don't know if its available in your state or not but my individual plan was about $160 or $180 or something like that which is still kinda expensive. I know when I was looking though I saw some individual plans for around 100 a month with different companies. We searched through insurance broker sights. Have you considered ordering one of those at home sperm tests?

Sholi I'm sure you've told me before but what was your OH SA results? I'm so excited for you.

 

[echo]

Unfortunately, do to the healthcare mandate in my state, many plans are unavailable. For now, I am going to let things be, take care of myself and see what happens. I still don't think it's fair, but I will figure something out. Thanks ladies, I appreciate it. This ttc journey is quite the bumpy road.

 

[echo]

And I just want to say, Loro, that for the longest time it seems, my iPod wanted to autocorrect Loro to lord, but now if I spell anything near lord, it corrects to Loro. Lol

 

[Crystal5483]

echo - not that there is much that I can do - but if there is ANYTHING you need - a letter written - or anything, just let me know. I am very lucky to work where I do with the healthcare coverage that I have - where pretty much everything is covered. I've only come across ONE thing that wasn't so far and that was the Metanx for the MTHFR but I think it's because this whole thing is still new to the health care world. So please don't hesitate to ask!

 

[echo]

Thanks, crystal.

 

[Lindss]

When AF is approaching is it normal for my temp to go up or to stay the same? I am 12 to 13 dpo and have for the last five days had a temp of between 35.4 and 35.6...not my normal 36.8/ For the past few days have had some brwn cm when wiped, but really watery and not enough to wear a pad at all.....sorry tmi/ AF due fri, just wondering do u guys think Im out this mnth?? HELP!!!

 

[lorojovanos]

If theres anything I can do ECHO, you know, from way up here, I will!
LINDSS- I wouldnt say youre out until your period is in full swing!
AFM- Last day of soy tonight, but holy moly EWCM. I have been doing some googling, and it appears that soy can cause an abundance of EWCM! I just dont know if its through the entire cycle. Since opk's dont work for me, this ewcm can possibly throw me off to know when its fertile time. I think I may start taking epo today, just 1000mg, instead of the normal 3000 just to see what it does.
