October Sticky Beans!

[mrscletus]

And I was just able to schedule an apt with a clinic that is super close for the blood work that I need pulled on cd25! They accept my insurance and everything. Just need to take a script for the lab

Julie today's temp drop looks good! FX that this is your O Time! That's awesome you can get your bloodwork done close by! Will save you so much stress not having to wait another month!

How's everyone else doing so far?


AFM - Today is 12w+1. Had my last visit with my RE. I'm actually a little emotional about it. They've been so great with me, and because they are so small they have really gotten to know us! All the nurses gushed over my hair today, commenting on it as soon as I walked in, which just goes to show how well they recognize their patients.

Baby is measuring at 12w+4, everything looks good. Doctor could see spine looked good (no sign of spina bifida), progress looks good. Baby was sleeping so doctor had me cough a few times to wake baby up, and at the very end I got to see baby stretching and turning. HB was 156 (I'm totally leaning toward this is going to be a boy if we base it on the HB myth). And, as a bonus, I get to drop down to 1 progesterone pill a day for the next week and then every other day for a week and then I'm free from pills!

My follow up with my OB is next week. And then....another 4 weeks before my next appointment! How will I survive?!

Julie- that's fantastic you found a lab nearby.

Jess- that will be hard not being monitored so much but the must be such a relief to be at that point!

Here it is.. Pee porn for my cycle. Didn't take long to get a positive OPK this month. Going to 'hit it hard for 3 days' and see what happens. So super excited!!!
The one on the bottom is from just now

Yay for positive opk julie! Get that egg, feeling very lucky for you this cycle!

Afm, nothing much to report. The flutters i feel are getting more regular, i feel them every day now. Which is good as it's been 3 weeks since my last scan and so obviously it's around the time i get worried again haha i hope i feel actual strong kicks soon as well

 

[todmommy4568]

Julie those opks are amazing!!! Get on it! I'm so excited for you!

Jess yay for second tri!!!!!! I'm sure it will be hard going from so many appointments to a normal amount but it will be fine! And you should start feeling baby soon!

Heike hopefully you start getting some strong kicks, how exciting!

My ultrasound is at 1:00 today, I'm hoping the ultrasound tech will tell me how many eggs there are so I don't have to wait until 2:30 for my doc to tell me! I have been worried about too many eggs this whole time now I am worried that I will only have 1 haha I need to stop being paranoid about it but considering that I already ovulate it would feel like a waste of money if I only got 1 egg, although it would probably be a better quality egg.

 

[krissie328]

Julie- that's a fabulous positive.

Heike- yay for feeling baby.


Shan- hopefully they tell you at your ultrasound.

Afm, no sign of o anymore. I guess it was just one of those weird midcycle fluctuations. I started taking progesterone last night to bring on af. It's a 10 day course so by then I should know what the doctor wants to do for next steps.

Today my dad's Parole Officer called me, he wants contact. I told her that I was not at all interested right now. Too much with pregnancy and everything for me to be willing to say yes to that. She completely agreed that I didn't need to deal with him, but it put me on edge for the whole rest of the day. :/ bah.


Julie that is a BLAZING OPK! Get that egg! GL!


Shan - GOod luck at the US! Let us know how it goes!


Heike - when did you start to feel the flutters? I'm wondering when I might start ot feel baby. At last weeks US baby was rolling around and DH was like "how can you NOT feel that? It's all over the place". I had to remind him that even though it looked big on the screen, that was blown up by 150%, and baby was MUCH smaller than that. lol

Krissie - aww, I was hoping you were about to O. Darn. Hopefully you'll get news from dr soon on next steps.

 

[krissie328]

Jess- I started having flutters with ds around 17-18 weeks and definitely knew it was him around 21 weeks

 

[todmommy4568]

I started feeling Asher around 15 weeks, I was also super skinny then too

We only got one egg there were 4 in the works they were at 1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5 so we went ahead and triggered for the 1.5 and if I don't get pregnant we will be doing 100 mg next month. I was just so irritated, it feels like a waste of money because the whole point was to get more than one egg. He gave me the option of doing another 5 days and recheck ultrasound on the fifth but there was no guarantee of more eggs so that seemed like a waste too. Idk so many thoughts in my head right now and none of them even matter because I already triggered

 

[krissie328]

Shan- sorry you didn't get the results you were hoping for.

 

[mrscletus]

Oh Shan-- sorry to hear that the u/s didn't go as planned. But it only takes one egg to get pregnant right?

I'm praying I release a healthy egg this month!

Krissie sorry that you aren't O'ing on your own. Regroup and try again next cycle

 

[todmommy4568]

Thank you ladies Really I need to just be grateful for the things that I do have, I was acting like an entitled brat yesterday That being said I am still holding out a tiny bit of hope that the 13 could grow enough to release in the 36 hours and with the boost from the trigger so maybe I could end up with two still. I have zero idea what my temp thinks it is doing. I surely didn't O yet because I had those eggies chillin on my ovaries.


Julie I'm praying you get that healthy egg too!

DISCLAIMER: This was purely for my own enjoyment of seeing some good pee porn. I have not ovulated. I was injected with 10,000 units of hcg yesterday But the picture is still very satisfying

 

[Angel5000]

Sorry you didn't get the eggs you wanted Shan but hopefully the one is just really healthy! I wonder if the trigger shot caused the temp boost? Loving the line tho!

 

[cupcake.]

It only takes one healthy egg and i'm having my fingers crossed this will be it! 😊
And yes that line is quite satisfying haha

 

[todmommy4568]

It got way darker I should have waited! My doc warned me, do not take a pregnancy test I have seen it so many times the happiness is followed by disappointment. Internally I was just laughing like I'm doing it I don't care I know it isn't a true positive

 

[Angel5000]

LoL! Well I'm glad that you know it's not real. I can imagine a ton of women take tests way too early while it's still in their system and get their hopes up. That's one way to encourage people from early testing!

 

[krissie328]

Hey ladies- my appt went really well. Doctor suspects it's low progesterone coupled with bad embryos. He said when my labs were done this last time my progesterone was 0.7 (he said over 10 is ideal). Even with supplementation it was only a 7. So he is doubling my progesterone.

He wants me to do 3 more months of clomid and is optimistic we will get our sticky bean in that time.

I'm currently on progesterone to bring on af then will start clomid again.

He also did labs to check for clotting, thyroid and lupus just to rule them out.

 

[Angel5000]

Glad to hear you got some possibly good news Krissie! Keeping FX that you get your sticky bean in the next few months!

 

[todmommy4568]

Sounds like things went really well at your appointment krissie! I am so glad that you were able to get some answers!
