Well hi there ladies! Going to do my best to catch up but this thread moves so fast now, which is fab!
Radkat—Ooooh, I’d be pissed too. I’m telling you, the more I have to deal with the medical community, the more I’m disenchanted. The lack of communication, accurate record keeping and just a general flippant attitude that so many medical professionals have is just so sad. I’m feeling for ya. And aren’t men cute trying to understand all this crazy business about charting and opks and the like? BTW, as you all know, I don’t understand a lot about charts but that was some temperature spike today!
Terri—A one day period is better than 10 days?! Well, not if you have no idea why, and the doctor has no interest in investigating why it’s only 1 day! I’m still curious why that happened. So, did he say you had a fibroid? Could the medications have shorted up your period? When they looked at your lining did he say, “Yep, that’s all the period you’re going to get?” Frustrating! And dang, I can’t believe you are already starting back in the process of IUI again! It comes around so quickly.
Fezzle—If I haven’t mentioned it before, congrats on the house! Getting a new home is so exciting. And so is the end of the school year. Lots of good things to look forward to!
Sis—I’m so excited for your Vegas trip and cannot wait to hear about it! I think you are right to go with the Palazzo, particularly if you can use points. I would look no further and stay there. You don’t spend all that much time in your hotel room anyway. What shows are you seeing? You are going to have such a blast!!!! I was thinking about things I would suggest for you do, but the fact is, I would have told you to go see at least one show (which you are doing), and honestly, there is soooooo much to do and see in Vegas that you will have an amazing time no matter what you do. The food is great, the entertainment is great, you’ll get some pool time in at the hotel, which is great. I mean, there’s so much to do and see you can’t pinpoint down the perfect things to do….everything is fun! Just let the wind take you wherever the group wants to go to. No matter where you go it’s going to be fun. Damn! Now I want to go back to Vegas!
Also, WTH is going on with 2 months of these flat looking temperature charts? And what’s the word on that MTFR (?) situation?
Erin—I actually really enjoy reading about your experiences with IUIs and IVFs. You do a nice job of explaining what’s going on so it’s understandable. When Sis created this forum, it was for sticking together through it ALL and that includes IVF! And I think it’s wonderful that the ladies who are going to be doing IVF can support and share with each other here and provide a support system through each other’s similar experience. But excited to see what this cycle brings for you though!
Smiles—First the theater production and now a spa day. Jealousy seeps out over on my end! That is all.
Wish—I agree with the other ladies. Stepping away from all the testing makes sense to relieve your stress and it’s what you need right now. Plus, you’ve had so much testing already done, you know? It’s like, what else are we going to test for? Your spirits seem so much more uplifted and you seem to be in a much more positive mind space and that’s wonderful to see! And you absolutely have the chance of getting pregnant. One of my dear friends had 3 children and was DONE! She got her tubes tied. She genuinely did not want any more children. A couple of months after the procedure, she found out she was pregnant. It turned out to be ectopic, but the point is that doctors had absolutely no idea how it could have medically happened. They were completely befuddled. If a sperm can make it through a tied tube, anything can happen. Like you said, God decides in the end anyway even if it can be a frustrating wait. You will be lead down the path you are meant to.
Momof3—That’s wonderful news about all your testing and HSG. Let us know how the SA turns out, too. That stuffed animal thing at the RE is amazeballs. Coolest. Thing. Ever.
Moni—So very sorry to hear about your kitty. It’s one of the toughest things to have to go through and my heart is with you. I’ve got an old boy kitty and I fear the day I have to face him being gone. Sometimes, I think people underestimate the pain of losing a pet.
On a brighter note, let us know how your IVF class goes. Getting excited for you to start the process!
Driving—Happy happy to hear that you are doing well! Keeping my fingers crossed tightly for you. Trust me when I say, I understand the constant state of fear and the importance of moving the pregnancy past your benchmarks of loss. Keep us updated on your pregnancy.
Kfs1—Hooray for cleared tubes and polyp removal! Girl, that’s wonderful!! I know it was a real bitch to get the news about them in the first place, but you got on it, got the procedures done and can go into TTC knowing that huge roadblock (or tube block, as it were) is removed. You have to be relieved! Interested to hear about the urologist appointment, as well. Again, commend all you ladies who are being so proactive in getting answers.
Mischief—Is this your first IUI or have you done before? Sorry, I can keep very few things straight and have a terrible memory!
Vjean—Yep, need a bump pic and an update on your pg!
Hi to everyone I’ve missed, as I only went back a few pages of posts. I will update on what’s going on with me in a separate post.
GL to your DH for Friday!
