Wish - Twinnie!! I hated reading that you're so bummed out. What on EARTH happened? I thought your DH was on board with everything now? I don't want you to cancel your appointment because I know that it will truly lead to your BFP! Ugh - that really stinks. I hope your DH eventually comes around.

Sis - Happy that the witch came (even though it's the weekend). On to the next steps!

Wish-Sorry for dragging you out of lurk mode. I knew you had to be around somewhere...What happened when you got to Canada (Newfoundland? I forget where exactly you were going). The place did not exist? Did you get to do any hunting? I need more details (when you want to share). Sorry about you and DH fighting, and I'm kind of glad that you saved your Clomid because if you're not getting along, your chances of BD are probably pretty slim. And...NOOOOO don't cancel the visit to St. Louis. Is that what you and DH were fighting about? I'm SOOo sooo soo sorry. Huge headed your way. Why does everything have to be so difficult? And finally-sorry about the soldiers. *sigh* Boys...

Wish so sorry u are having a hard time I'm right there w ya and YES to DH taking his Supps when I wake him up and force him to take him!!

I just never wanted a summer baby to think how hot it is and how BIG u are but u know what I got a pool I can float like a whale in

I got my Lab work for all my extra Test and DH too!! We will be going Mon for those or maybe Sun if they will see me for CD3 work !!!

Going to the Renniasance this weekend and I will be drinking and buying lots of Shiny things to brighten my days!!

 

[Mischief]

Wish, Sorry you're blue. I'm in the same boat. Now that my RE is talking about IVF DH doesn't want to proceed. He says it's too much money for such a risk. I'm just like... OK... after all we've (I'VE!!!!) been through because YOU want a baby, we're just going to give up???

Sis, I'm sorry about your uninvited weekend visitor! I've been stalking your chart and had started to feel very hopeful!

Terri, OMG I cannot wait for you to test!!!!!

AFM, I had my fifth, and final, IUI this morning. Good sperm count, just too bad I ovulated yesterday evening!!! It's always super late, and then BAM! a day early. WTH?!?! My ovaries are b!tches.

And speaking of b!tches... I'm not going to say anything to my insensitive pregnant coworker. She's heard about all I've gone through, but she doesn't KNOW. She can't know - it was easy for her. I don't want to make this happy time sad for her. So I'm just going to smile when I can, avoid her when I can't, and continue to pray that she'll be a SAHM next year. Or anyway that's my current plan. I'm meeting with a councilor tomorrow. Maybe she'll have a better idea.

to all! Have a fab weekend!!!

Hi ladies,

I haven't read the past two or three pages, but wanted to give a quick update. Keegan Daniel was born at 1:28 this afternoon, weighing in at 8lbs 4oz, 20 inches long. Delivery went smoothly for the most part, but Keegan isn't breathing well and is in the NICU. Hopefully we'll know more tomorrow.....this just sucks.

I did have good timing this evening and was able to hold him for the first time while the nurse changed his blanket. And then the respiratory therapist came in and changed his mask so I got to see that he has hair!

Don't mind my messy hair in the pic....it had been a long day!

You look beautiful and so does Keegan! Congrats. I hope his breathing gets better today. Thanks for checking in! Let us know when you get home.

 

[kfs1]

Congratulations vjean!!!! He's adorable. I hope things improve today so you can relax a bit but I'm happy that he's safe and in your doctor's care. Can't wait to see more pics. Oh, and you look gorgeous!!! Messy hair?!?!?! You would honestly die if you saw what I looked like in the morning.

Sis - can't wait to hear about your appt.

Terri - no temp today? Good for you

Mischief - hang in there. Back when I was researching for my IUI, I read BFP stories of people who had their IUI the day after O. It can happen and maybe this change will be what works for you! And if this doesn't work, maybe your DH will come around, at least enough to talk to your RE. I'm sure your chances with IVF would be a high %. As far as your co-worker, your plan sounds great. Just try to smile when you're around her and stay away from her otherwise. I hope she's not in your room next year!!!!

 

[terripeachy]

kfs1-Good morning! Yeah, I was tempted, and then decided to flip over and just go back to sleep. blah! hee hee.

Mischief-I agree with kfs1, I think your chances with IVF are great. You've been so close so many times, that IVF may be the perfect thing for you, but it is expensive, and if you don't want to do it, don't. My chances are also winding down, so you just have to think about it and pray about it and know that whatever decision you make is the best one. However, because this is your fifth and final IUI, it's going to work! And that egg is floating down your tubes waiting for that sperm so the timing probably will work out.

Hi Ladies,

I'm back from my trip which was AMAZING! So much to catch up on!

Wish-I'm so sorry about your DH not being onboard with the specialist. Oh painful. I don't think you should cancel your appt just yet. Wait until you two have been home for a bit and rediscuss when tempers are not so high. *hugs*

Mischief-You are a better person than I on how to deal with your coworker. She sounds very self absorbed. I think you should pursue IVF. At 36 you have a better chance than at a successful IVF than most!

Vjean-OMG your baby is beautiful and tell me the secret at looking amazing right after birth! You look gorgeous. I hope Keegan starts breathing better soon.

Terri-Have you tested yet? Your temp went back up!

AFM-We stayed at a gorgeous apt in East End. We were steps from the water. I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning. However, the AC was right above us in bed so my temps have been super low, when after O they tend to be super high. I don't feel any different so I suspect AF will be here soon. I will be making the appt soon for the fertility specialist and I'll figure out where to go from there.

 

[Sis4Us]

Just wanted to say Congrats Vjean he's precious and I hope his breathing improves today!! DS1 was 6 wks early in NICU for 2wks they told me boys are just a Lil lazy sometimes and need a Lil extra time to figure things out!!! Keegan will figure it out don't worry!!

Mischief I got my BFP after O!!! FX

AFM my dr won't do a medicated cycle until I get the test done so we r flyin Solo again

 

[Blueshoney]

Does this look like a faint positive or an evap line? I don't want to get excited over nothing.

 

[Wish4another1]

BLUES!!!!! I totally think that is a BFP!!!! Yay!!!!!!


Sis - how long till your test???? I hope it's quick for you and DH!!

 

[Blueshoney]

Does it really look positive? I'm 14DPO right now. It is so faint. I'm worried even if it is a positive that it is a chemical but on the positive sign that means we can get pregnant.

 

[Wish4another1]

Honestly on those IC's your line doesn't look light to me - do you have a FRER? Did the line come up in the time limit??

 

[Blueshoney]

I do have a FRER. I will retake the test tomorrow morning with my FMU. the first one I'm not sure because my cats started fighting and I had to break them up. The second one did but not until like 4:58 minutes had passed.

Tomorrow morning can't come soon enough! I still have not told DH. I don't want to get his hopes up until I'm sure.

 

[Wish4another1]

Ooooo so excited for tomorrow morning!!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

FX for u blues those IC take forever to get dark tell us what the FRER says in the Am!!

We have the labwork just have To go Mon I'm sure results will take a week and since I'm CD2 no meds this cycle unless I can find someone w some

 

[Sis4Us]

These r the tests my Thyriod dr did the anti Thyriod so I know it's neg

Antithrombin III Activity (015040)
Antithyroid Antibodies (006692)
Beta 2-Glycoprotein Antibodies (163915) Chromosome Analysis (511035)

Any clue on these ladies off to google I go!!

I'm just worried he must think I really have a issue if he won't do a cycle until these r done!!

 

[Mischief]

Does this look like a faint positive or an evap line? I don't want to get excited over nothing.

That's positive! Congrats!

 

[terripeachy]

Ack!! I can't tell Blues but I want it to be positive so badly!! You're really taking a FRER in the morning?? I can't wait. Fxfx.

Sis-I'm not sure what those tests mean either, but I hope you get your results soon so you can move forward.
