Ugh...all these BFN's.

Atty-That soup sounds so good. I remember the first time I mentioned a rue to my husband. He was so confused. i just said 'watch and learn!' Not sure what to tell you on your temperature. I would probably just use the first one too, and I'm still PRAYING that AF is here tomorrow so you can go to your CD3 bloods.

Yesterday (all day) I had a scratchy throat. I took one cough drop before I left for work, and I took another one around 7pm last night before I came back into work. By the time I left work at 9, my throat felt fine. I feel ok today but I brought my last cough drop to work with me. Then this morning my temperature seriously shot up (as you can see). My thermometer flashed yellow (meaning low battery). I'm going to use it one more time tomorrow morning and then I'll replace the battery, but I'm not sure what this is all about. Hubs got excited. I said 'don't get excited.' He said 'why not? Oh..because we don't know if it's pregnancy high temp or cold high temp.' I said 'exactly.' I don't want to bring him down, but I can't get excited just yet. What is this, 7 or 8DPO? hee hee.

Also I'm going to a bull and oyster roast tonight so with my fake/weird cold thing, I may have one glass of wine and that's it. I can't jinx things now AND I've been so good about my prenatals.

I don't know, Terri- you had that nice dip right before the high temp....

so it was easier to catch up on this thread then the other - I'll get over there this weekend as I actually have to do some work today.

I am from SoCal - grew up right by LAX - right now I am missing your weather! I used to love the rain - would walk around in it on purpose - my teachers were not happy with the soaked child sitting in their classroom, but I had fun.

Sooo...I am out this cycle for meds - trying all naturale. Definitely had a cyst develop again. BUT, on the bright side it means I can enjoy my vacation - we leave next Wed night. Maybe a couple of good Thai massages will help the swimmers find the egg... Doctor is still positive about the IUI working eventually - so hopefully we'll be ready to try it again in March. I have decided to relax this cycle - so no monitor and I am going back and forth on whether I want to cont temping until the spike - I'll definitely stop after that. I may temp until I leave and let it go after that - not sure how thermometers do on airplanes...

Hi Ladies,

It's Le Weekend ...yay

Well I took my first Clomid last night and today I have been soo weepy Hope it's my cycle and not the meds? I feel really sad, my son lives with his dad as he wanted to be near his friends and it took me time to get used to this and overall I try not to think about it but I miss him so much at times and I found out today he's been poorly with a skin infection (nothing serious) and hasn't been at work today and I feel like such a bad mother Sat here having a good cry. Silly woman

Sorry for the bfn's today but hopefully tomorrow will bring some
and thank you ERose, lets hope this works for both of us.

Have a great evening everyoner and enjoy your wine Terripeachy x

 

[Smiles013]

Smiles what's Ur EDD and I'll add it??!?

Hi Sis....my due date is 9/12. Thanks for adding it.

I love seeing you update. It just makes me so hopeful!! When do you have an ultrasound? Can we see the pic when you do?

Hi Blues.....I actually had 3 so far. Lol. One was when I was 6 wks 3 days to confirm the pregnancy along with a pregnancy test but then 4 days later I had some spotting so to put my mind at ease the dr did another ultrasound THEN three days later for my regularly scheduled in take appointment the nurse did another one. I do have a picture of the u/a and will surely post it. First I need to take a picture of he picture. Lol. Glad I am able to give you some hope because it is still possible, even for us oldies.

 

[terripeachy]

Felcity-Thanks! I told hubs that if we do go, it probably won't be for long. I don't feel BAD, I just don't feel 100%. I don't really need to be dancing and eating around tons of strangers. The event is for my classmate's baseball team, and I only know him and his girlfriend, so no huge loss if we don't stay all night. Hubs will probably want to drink/eat the night away, although he's not feeling so hot either. Sorry the Clomid is making you sad, but you're trying something new, so just see where it leads.

My doctor's assistant called me to schedule the HSG, and now I'm having doubts. I have to meet a 1700 deductible before my insurance will cover 80% of the surgery. My insurance gives us 1400 free (well, we're paying for it through our paychecks), and then I have to pay 300 out of pocket and THEN they cover 80%. Of course, I asked how much the surgery is, and of course, she doesn't know. I want to go through with this, but I hate to spend a zillion dollars to find out that everything is a-ok. Again, it's a double edged sword. I will talk to hubs and see what he says. I think honestly, I should be willing to try a few more months on our own, but what IF my tubes aren't clear? %*(&^$$!!! And then, if I really do get prego, i'm not going to have any money left for appointments and such. Money is the root of all evil. Any advice/suggestions? I hate asking that because everybody's different, but what do you think?

 

[felcity 45]

Thanks Terripeachy and goodness what decisions, We moan over here about the NHS but at least we don't have to worry about the cost of our health care. I think maybe you need to get a figure for the cost of surgery so you can better decide what route to take? As you say you need to think about the costs once your pregnant too! That is my favourite saying too...and how true is it (money is the route of all evil)

I've open a bottle of red and I must say I feel much better

 

[moni77]

Terri - that is actually a great plan. My deductible is $5000 and the company pics up the first $2500. It looks like they tried to charge my insurance $1600 for the HSG exam - still waiting to see what the insurance knocks it down to. They are claiming it needed precertification - when the policy clearly says that the HSG is a covered test - I think the hospital just coded it wrong. Hope this helps you with your decision. Have you done all the basic blood workups already? Maybe start with those and wait a cycle or two for the HSG. Also, when does your insurance reset - you might be able to get the HSG under this year deductible and then use next years for baby stuff...

 

[Sis4Us]

That's why I was saying it was strange that Your Dr suggested it but Not Bloods!!
Bloods will be cover by insurance and usually on cost a $100 or so but the HSG can cost $1000s so I was very confused!!!
I think I paid 20% of my HSG and it was $460 and if I knew that b4 the procedure I wouldnt have done it cuz I had Kids and the Mc months b4!!

Even the SA is cheaper than that usually about $150

HtH!!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Thanks ladies. I'm going to look up the costs on my insurance page and see if they say anything. If not, I'll call them and find out. Moni-I get standard bloodwork from my regular doctor and my gyn said that she just wants to get a copy of my results. She also said she hasn't found anything in bloodwork that prevents people from getting pregnant if they don't have medical problems already. Don't think you're going crazy because I wrote this in the other thread too. So, short answer is no. My insurance just reset in January, and it resets again in January. Wait one second. If I have a "life event" it can reset, so maybe that's the answer. Do it now, and then when I'm prego, reset it and take out $ for flexible spending. Aha!!

I'm still going to look it up anyway now. I'm curious. Oh she also asked if either of us had had kids and if I have EVER been prego. I told her I'm Captain Safety, so no. I guess this is why she thought I should get the HSG.

 

[Sis4Us]

Lots of Pokey Pinches today

We will see what the Am brings going to see The Lego Movie w DH LO and DN2 Tom afternoon

Hope everyone has a Great Weekend!!

 

[terripeachy]

Ooh, I'm feeling really positive for you Sis. We left the bull and oyster roast a little early. I just wasn't feeling it. I didn't even drink one glass of wine. I had a cup of soda and that was it. See you tomorrow after the movie!

 

[Radkat]

I'm feeling positive for a few of you. Things are getting interesting!

 

[Sis4Us]

Couldn't sleep Los still up so we R watching a movie!!!!

Ohhhhhhh Terri..... B4 I realized I was Preggo w DS2 we went out on ST Patties Day a LRG Group even had a Limo 1/2 way through the nite I went back to the Limo to lay down!!! Wasn't feeling it!!
FX it's a good sign for U!!!

 

[garfie]

Sis - Ooooh hope it gets darker for you

Radkat - I agree there are one or two ladies on here who are making me think hmmmmm

Terri - Not even a glass oh dear you must be coming down with baby fever (fingers crossed)

Moni - I don't understand about all the insurances (from the UK) but they sound complicated how are you hun?

Felcity - I may be joining you in a bottle of wine soon we have friends over this evening and we are having a takeaway so no doubt it will involve a glass or two of wine

Older - did you test this morning hun

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - I'm 11DPO and got another BFN on a superdrug - and a nasty evap on a blue handled ic - and with the temp drop this morning - not feeling so confident now

[terripeachy]

Radkat-Your chart looks great, but I see you have spotting, so I hope it's nothing telling.

Garfie/Sis-Well, I just have that little bit of a cold, so I definitely didn't feel like drinking. You have to remember that my hubs has been sick too, so this "cold" isn't just my own body...it's from him. HA!!HA!! My younger sister asked if I had a secret to share when I told her I had a cold. She knows I don't get them often but she also has to remember that I lived by myself for many years, and new germs weren't around.

Sorry about your BFN garfie, and your slight temp drop. I'm not counting you out yet either, and Sis, I'm hoping for a darker line today too!!

And after much thought last night, I think that my insurance only resets AFTER I have a baby. So...i think ill just go for it, and work out the $ later. I'm in a good place, and I know there are other people that have less $/insurance than me, and somehow they make it, so I need to just do what I need to do. If I can't eat a fancy dinner in March, so be it.

 

[Sis4Us]

The same is good Sis, maybe you caught it on the upswing! Some women report never getting a negative test before the HCG starts rising again.
Do you have a pic we can obsess at?

 

[oldermom1975]

Garfie, I tested today- was BFN again, also along with a temp drop. Sorry about your temp drop, I hope it is just temporary, lady.
