Sarah yay for getting through clomid! I did an hsg today on a woman on clomid too and hers was perfectly fine too. The specialist who does those at my work suggests ultrasound cd 11 or 12 I think while on clomid to check follicles. How many days will you be? Hope they're good ones. Ever consider an hsg, it helps with fertility in a lot of cases it's all a woman needs.

hi!! I will be Day 11 on Friday any idea what the follicles will be at that stage? I have no idea what I am hoping for! It will be so interesting. Ive read some people have bad results almost like there was no reaction to the medication, but I hope that as I ovulate normally I will be good.

Ive had a sono which is similar to the hsg in that they flush out your tubes, but I had the polyp in there at the time so it didnt do anything. Perhaps they will have me do another sometime, perhaps before IUI and Im sure before IVF.

what pets do you have already? I think you have a cat? and when you say you did an hsg you do the whole thing or you do the xray part? thats an interesting job

NY, I am in Duluth tonight, drove here with hubby who has an official work tomorrow, just had a long lovely walk on boardwalk, I love coming here and so hoping to see sunrise from our hotel room window over the lake

The cycle I got PG, I was scheduled (on request) for day3 hormone tests and HSG. Now, I have done day 3 tests which are normal but I am not so keen on HSG yet as I got pregnant so my tubes have to be open. I even asked the tech who was doing my last US if she could see my tubes, she said no she can't but then she said something like if tubes were closed then she won't see 'x' (sorry I forgot what she said) but in her opinion tubes were fine. We'll see if we don't get BFP in next 2 cycles then I am meeting my gynec to discuss the issues. Today I got my Pap smear scheduled for August 3. Thanks your good wishes and advice

 

[Dew]

....but yes my gynec also told me that HSG clears the tube and many women get pregnant after performing this test. I was very scared of getting it done earlier but after MC I think I have gotten stronger and can handle it. May be if I don't get BFP this cycle, might call my gynec and ask her if she thinks I should do it.

28 hours til I see my little megapixel

I'm hoping for a good scan. I've had some cramping last night and this morning so hoping nothing is wrong with the baby. I'm not worried or anything, but it is a relief knowing I already have my scan for tomorrow.

 

[Dew]

Good luck NDH for a beautiful scan tomorrow!!

Sarah, I have 2 dogs who shed like mad and a cat that resembles a fur ball with eyes. So yea......tons of free fur all over and I'm soooo grossed out by it. I want bald animals next time around! I am not sure what they look for in the ultrasound really. In my part of the exam I assist the fertility specialist with drawing up the meds, xray contrast, get patient dressed and on the table, explain procedure, run xray machine....stuff like that. I do not do the speculum and injecting into uterus part! But do talk to a lot of women who are trying so thats interesting for sure.

Dew, it's really not a bad exam. A tad crampy but does tell a lot to the condition of your tubes. Or even if they are clear, it can show abnormalities in uterus or the dilation of tubes. Even after getting pregnant once, they can get blocked again anytime so may be beneficial. But yes, I would talk to your doctor. Perhaps he doesn't feel they are useful, as some prefer ultrasound. Can the doctor do an ultrasound to check your follicles on a certain day even if you don't do clomid?

Ndh, good luck! I get soooo crampy some time it's seriously normal. I even get Braxton hicks contractions already and they hurt a lot. It's your baby having a growth spurt! Eat or drink something sugary right before your scan and see if baby moves a lot! It's fun to see them squirm.

Oh, dew! Duluth. Love Duluth and haven't been there in years! We used to stay in a hotel in canal park, the inn or something. I love walking in canal park at night. How fun. Kinda chilly up there? My brother lives up there going to college right now. He seems to like it. Hope you are enjoying!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Sheryl it is four days behind,. from my LMP date but now 6 days behind. i did ask my doc the last time i went and he checked my 12 week scan report. according to LMP im due on 24th and according to my dating scan it says 28th so four days but now it says 30th of oct.

so will get it all checked soon.

sarah, i had a HSG done as well, although uncomfortable i can tell you they do say that women get pregnant easier after a HSG as it clears out the tubes and if there is a blockage, it will be shown.

so FX'D for your friday appointment.

NDH, fx'd for your scan, cant wait to hear the news !

Nyp, hope ella has recovered from the fish'd death.

we dont have fixed names yet but we both like Gemma Louise as i mentioned earlier and you said that your dog was named JEMMA with a J. and i said Gemma is a common english name.

i like holly jane and charlotte louise and claire too, but not sure yet, still got 4 months to go so will think about it then.

AFM am holding my tummy whilst laying down and trying to feel some kind or any kind of movement but still cant. although my doppler does give out the loud HB and im satisfied, cant wait to feel movements myself.

cant wait to see bubs at next appointment on tuesday.

 

[Dew]

Thanks NY! I am having good time here kinda chilly but sun is out this morning so enjoyed morning walk too. We are staying in Hampton Inn on the lake so I can see the water from my window. I saw some college kids this morning and was thinking about your brother

I am wondering if I should ask my gynec to give me progesterone test on day 21. Anyone heard of that?

Sarah, did you get your day3 hormone test results already? What hormones did they test and do you mind sharing the numbers with me, would like to compare with mine....?? Thanks!

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone! just popping on before I leave, have a busy day ahead.

dew I will ask about my day 3 bloods when I go on friday, all I know is they were ok to start the clomid. I know from before my FSH is 5 which is good. what else do you have on your report as I can write down and ask for those. sometimes its so rushed I need to write things down!

I have read people on here doing the progesterone test on day 21, but I asked the nurse if I come back after friday and she said no. I will try to remember to ask.

NDH yay cant wait for you to see bubs! how far are you along now?

Dew and I better hurry up otherwise we wont be bump buddies with anyone, you would have all given birth already

 

[sarahincanada]

dew I see on your siggy you are 7 days from testing, and Im about that to ovulation, its funny how opposite our cycles are. really hoping this is your month

 

[nypage1981]

Preethi I like your name choices. It's a hard decision!

Dont feel bad about movement. I'm dad for some reason don't really feel mine moving around like I did before. Hope it's a sleepy, growth spurt or something. My Doppler gives me baby heart rate and I can hear it moving around in there so maybe my added growth spurt has made it harder to feel. I hope you feel yours soon it's neat!

Dew are you guys going to visit anything while there? We will often go to gooseberry or the light house or rose garden or something. Fun times! I would ask for that progesterone test I've heard a lot of women on here go in for that. Might as well check everything off the list!

Sarah I still have 18 weeks for you to be a bump buddy so hurry up! Haha. I hope we can go through some together but if not, so be it. I will still be here!

I am off to work again and soooooooii tired. Wish I could sleep at night, I've lost the ability and it's really tough on me. Talk later!

 

[Dew]

Hahaha! Yes, very badly want to be bump buddies with you all and especially with Sarah

Sarah, my FSH was 5.7 ( I read online that anything below 6 is excellent), Prolactin was 18.7 and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was 2.49.
I think we are 14 days apart so when one is getting excited about seeing ovulation smiley, another is getting nervous about AF showing up so we keep the balance...hehe!

NY, today is 19 dpo I think so will call and ask for day 21 progesterone test. Wonder why it's done on day 21...is it day 21 for all irrespective of their ovulation day....any knowledge on that?
I want to see Gooseberry Falls, let's see if I can convince DH for it.

Preethi, I like your baby name selection. I thought you said Chloe also one time before or may be it was someone else

 

[Dew]

OK I just read online that day 21 progesterone test is done to find if one is ovulating or not and I think 'smiley-LH surge' and biphasic BBT chart indicates that I ovulate so what else will this test tell about me?

 

[babyhopes2323]

i dont think i said chloe dew.. not too sure now !

FX'D for you and dew sarah, hope this month is it with clomid for you.

Ny, thanks, i cant wait myself, the doppler truly is a life saver... !! best 59 $ off ebay

 

[sherylb]

I love to hear the heartbeat every 4 weeks like clockwork. Every appointment I take someone different with me so I can share my precious gift.

 

[flyingduster]

This week has been slooooooooooow for me. Monday morning felt like it HAD to be thurs or fri, and so the rest of the week (it's only wednesday!) is feeling like it'll draaaag by painfully. Ugh. I went to bed at 8pm last night though, and actually SLEPT all night! Heck, if it means I have to go to bed early to be able to sleep, then I'm gonna just do it! I've lately been waking at 1am and only dozing on and off until I get up, so a good nights sleep last night might help this dragging feeling. lol!

I have dog training tonight, a meeting tomorrow night, and then I'm on to 23 weeks!


Good luck for O Sarah, and for a BFP Dew! And that you, Preethi, feel movement soon!!!

I have a midwife appointment *next* weekend so get to hear bub again then; can't wait!

 

[sherylb]

Yep, Thursdays are a very happy day around here! I hope your sleep schedule improves!

 

[sarahincanada]

Preethi, I like your baby name selection. I thought you said Chloe also one time before or may be it was someone else

that was ME!!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

OK I just read online that day 21 progesterone test is done to find if one is ovulating or not and I think 'smiley-LH surge' and biphasic BBT chart indicates that I ovulate so what else will this test tell about me?

I *think* it can tell you if your progesterone levels are ok, but Im not 100% sure of that. i will try and remember to ask, I seem to remember asking my FS before and her mumbling something about its not accurate. she is the head of fertility in a main hospital in toronto so she is pretty knowledgeable so I just go with all her advice.

had some ovary twinges today, hope that the follicles are really to pop out a few eggs....but not toooo many!!
