Hi Ladies

Sorry for the selfish post - I just need to vent

Results are back FSH 10.8 LH 4.1 (showing diminished reserve)

I think I have come to the end of my journey

Will have one more chat with hubby - FS has discharged me as hubby refused SA

Oh Garfie! I am so sorry hun! You need to kick DH in the butt! A SA is NOTHING compared to what us women go thru!

I'm very familiar with FSH (mine was 12.5 two years and four pg's ago), but I don't know what the LH numbers mean (aside from gearing up to ovulate), and how they work together....I'll have to go do some research.

Oh honey not sure what to say apart from wanting to give a huge hug!

I'm sitting here under a blanket trying to get warm. The electric went down 7 hours ago due to a huge storm that's hit Ireland. Got a urgent text from school to collect kids. Was a crazy drive low on petrol with no stations open due to power outage. Trees falling down. A power poles down across the roads to collect them. Their school is right on the coast, over the mountain from our home. Safely back. Have any food that can be eaten cold piled up in the kitchen and candles ready, it will be dark soon. All heating, cooking and light is by electric and with most of the country without could be a long time till we get it back out here in the sticks. Plus my phone is at 41% now so it won't last much longer!

Oh and smiles. Loved the pic of your little beanie! X

 

[terripeachy]

Stay safe and warm, Atty and please let us know you're alright after the storm. Bundle up!

garfie-I'm so sorry, and I am so angry with your DH right now. How selfish can he be? Guys just suck sometimes. They are such scared babies. We do all this work to find out what's going on, and they can't even do one thing. () hole. He better be glad I'm across the pond!!!

Even if you decide not to TTC anymore, will you still hang with us?? I don't want you to leave, but if it's too difficult to read about what we're doing, I totally understand.

 

[VJean]

Wow Atty! Glad you were able to make it to the kids and back home safely! Stay warm and I hope you aren't without power too long!

This has been a crazy year for storms!

Smiles- What a beautiful picture!!

garfie- I am so sorry about your blood test results- and DH's issues. It can come as quite a shock when our bodies go prematurely whackadoodle on us.
That said, 10.8 is just barely considered high. Did your fertility specialist not offer any kind of treatment at all?

 

[garfie]

Thanks ladies

Older - I understand what you are saying - but I will be sent back to my Dr as the FS has discharged me - I can't blame him really when hubby won't do the simple tests and their are couples out their who will move heaven and earth (sadly he is not one of them) I just feel like it has all been a waste of time all the tests I've had, OPKs, Pre seed, CBFM, Saliva Test, Pregnancy Tests, Blood Tests, DNC's, Ultrasounds, BBT religiously every day, even peeing on dandelion leaves etc, every bloody thing

I'm sure I will feel better tomorrow - I hope

Atty - Glad you got back home safe and sound - we live in a village with oil - so when there is a power cut we have nothing either do you not have a camping stove? one good thing about hubby fishing

Terri - the way I'm feeling I might just pay you to come and kick his a@@

Smiles - Beanie is beautiful

Sis - Just in case you missed it CONGRATULATIONS hun

VJ - I hear you in that mine is not as high as some ladies - but the way my DH is behaving it may as well be sky high - I still hope for a miracle which seems more likely than an oops

Thanks once again ladies - I'm off to the gym tonight to get rid of some of this anger and disappointment

Many, many , garfie. Whatever you decide, please stick around- we like you!

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

I'm so sorry garfie . Will you guys keep trying even though the RE won't see you anymore? Would your DH be open to taking supplements for sperm health anyway? I hope he changes his mind about the SA.

Be safe atty!

Awwww! Awesome pic smiles .

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Love the avvie VJean . Gah! Timbuk 3 is stuck in my head now though .

Sis, my DH and I are not good with surprises either! At least not when it comes to TTC. Everyone has these cool plans to surprise their hubbies, and there i was just coming out of the bathroom waving a stick in his face with a faint line on it. AND, he didnt even believe that it meant I was pregnant. The kid thought the two lines were supposed to be the same color. So that's my adorable story, haha. Oh well, maybe next time I'll be able to do better.

Terri, can't wait for you to report back after the HSG on Friday. Better yet, can't wait for you to report your BFP a few weeks later, hehe! Funny that you mentioned being "sex-starved", haha! I'm the complete opposite right now... We've BD the last six days in a row, and I'm so exhausted, I could use a week or two off!

SPP, glad your cycle seems to be behaving! I've missed your many, many funny posts.

Katie, thanks for sharing your story! I love hearing people's stories. I often wonder what it would've been like to marry an older man... my DH is 4 years younger than me, and sometimes its obvious.... LOL. But ya know, I bet it isn't necessarily his age... its probably just that he's a man.

Smiles, awesome u/s pic!! Thanks for sharing!

Garfie.... I get so mad when I hear stories of DHs who wont get their SAs. I have a coworker who's DH did that too. It took her two years to get prego, and she'll never have any idea whether or not it was because of his sperm count or motility or anything. She just has to assume it was all her. And she couldn't even see the FS anymore after that either, because they wouldnt do anything for her without her DH's SA. Made me SO mad. So for the record, I'm mad at your DH too! I hope you won't leave us... I'd hate to hear that you have to give up for good.

Vjean, super cute avvie! You guys are adorable.

 

[Smiles013]

Garfie....BIG Please do stay around and keep us in line. Maybe after your DH sees how much this really means he'll come around. And I'm with Terri on kickin' his a$$ though!!!

 

[ERosePW]

Well, I am certain that I O'd yesterday. Besides my temp spike this morning, I also had some horrific symptoms. It was either the Clomid causing my hormones to shoot through the roof, or it was a crazy ovulation, I'm not real sure. But at the end of my workday, I got a terrible headache and felt very nauseated on and off throughout the day. After work, I went home so that DH and I could BD. He left to see a buddy, and sometime before bed I started feeling that slightly crampy feeling that I'll sometimes notice when I think I might be ovulating. At some point, that slight cramping turned into something else... some kind of abdominal discomfort... an achey feeling, almost a pulling sensation. I woke up in the middle of the night because it was so bad it woke me up. I couldnt get comfortable, couldn't sleep, etc. Awful. Normally if I get any little feelings like that, its just faint, and it's only on one side... this time it was bad, and it was on both sides. Today, I'm feeling much better. It all seems to have gone away. But wow... what a night I had.

Garfie- I am so sorry about the DH...I don't understand the selfishness of it.. my DH also has major issues when it comes to SA - I have only gotten one and I think that might be it... I had to rent a hotel room and all kinds of stuff just to accomplish the mission... UGH... maybe you could go and slip some supplements in his food/drink... hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
however - I have no issues picking up Terri in Baltimore and heading across the pond to kick some a$$!!!
I know today its raw... but I encourage you not to give up... and no matter what - if you can - stay with us... there have got to be more science experiments we can include you in

Vjean - Love the new pic!!! so

Terri - feeling sex starved myself - but this week has been rough for the hubby at work - so I am trying not to be toooooo demanding... I am looking forward to hearing how your HSG. goes... FX everything looks great!!

Erose - funny you should mention feeling bad at O time... the last two cycles I have felt horrible on O day... I thought maybe I was making it up... crampy... ovaries giving me some pain - and just overall laying around cause I don't feel good... maybe for some of us - that is our O sign??? if I have a cycle next month - I hope I can time the better... didn't do well as I should have this time around -

Smiles love the pic... thanks so much for sharing - I look forward to beanie growing before our eyes!!!

Atty - WOW!!! I hope your electricity comes back sooner than later - and I am glad your trip to get the kiddos was made safely... sound very scary over there!!!

Katie- write away !!! I need something to do at night whilst my husband watches the outdoor channel and surfs the internet for hunting equipment for our trip to Canada in October!!!

AFM - working... had a mentoring meeting from 9-1030... whew... glad that's over... more meetings this afternoon...
7 DPO - I feel like I should start testing or I am not officially part of our group!!! and I have plenty of Wondfo's just feels demoralizing to see a BFN... but who knows I may wake up and decide
no symptons... just glad the P cream seems to be working...
EDIT - Just talked to the Dr office - Dr never sent the referral for OB/GYN (*!!!@&^#%@&^#%@&^#%@....

Garfie big hugs.x
Smiles lovely pic.x

 

[VJean]

Smiles, I love your picture of Beanie! It's hard to imagine the next time we see a pic of Beanie he/she will look completely different! It's amazing how fast they grow!

Sis, Sorry your surprise isn't working out as planned....hopefully he bought your trigger story. My DH is super bad...he starts asking at 6 dpo if I have tested. There is no way I could surprise him, although I am hoping I may get a chance to this month.

Erin, the story about your DH is cute! Can't believe he thought they were supposed to be the same color....maybe he was thinking of an OPK? Sorry your O was so painful! My last couple of months have been like that. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and next month won't be so bad. Hoping yours is the same!

Terri, I can't wait to see your post-HSG !

Thanks Erin, SPP and Wish! I had to change my photo...I am so stinkin' tired of this cold weather! I needed something to remind me that summer is right around the corner. I confess- I had to google the Timbuk3 reference... haha.

AFM- nothing exciting. We were supposed to be taking the month off, but I conned my DH into one last BD session 2 days before O, so it looks like I'll be testing this month afterall! Not holding out much hope, but at least feel good that I didn't "waste" this month.

 

[terripeachy]

AAARGGHHH!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR DOCTOR, WISH????!! I'll come pick you up, kick your doctor's ass and then turn around and we can both head east to Garfie's. WTF!!!!!

hee hee. Ok..this is just an angry day for me. I have my regular doctor's appointment in 45 minutes, so I'm happy to be leaving work, but man oh man. These updates are KILLING ME!! hee hee.

Vjean-Cute picture. You and your hubs are always so smiley. Love it!

Erose-HA!!HA!! I'd be exhausted after 6 days in a row. I'll give you an atta girl! Great job. Every time I reach for the tampon box, I think "I am NOT buying another one of these boxes.' Luckily my periods are light, but I swear, if I have to buy one I am going to be a grumpy lady. Next month is it for real.

Ok..time to pack up my computer so I can work from home. Smooches!!
