Garfie—Thinking of you lots. It doesn’t help ease the pain, I know, but sometimes it helps to know that there are people out there who care. And in your case, it’s a lot of people. I just hope time is being kind to you.
Sis-- So, what’s going on with your painful ovary and bleeding now? Still stopped? And if you and DH are BD, ummmm….that’s a good thing! Hope things are moving along better on that home front!
Kfs1—I’m sorry that AF came. And what an ordeal at that party. That is just terrible. However. People will think twice before they decide to bring up the topic again. And they should. It’s just rude. On the SA, our insurance doesn’t pay for it at a fertility clinic either and it would have cost $150. But I totally agree with the others and see if you can find a urologist’s office who can do it where you’re insurance will cover it! It’s worth a shot. Tomorrow is the day for you at the RE! Hooray!! You know, even though AF can really mess up your mind, I think it’s wonderful that you are immediately moving into fertility testing because it gives you something else to focus on and it’s a new avenue of actively working on making this happen! Have you done acupuncture before?
VJean—Congrats on having a little blue bundle! A girl and a boy, how sweet is that? So, very happy for you! Your hubby must be over the moon to have a little guy to do guy stuff with!
Terri—What is going on with your cycle?! Okay, so here’s the thing. You know I don’t chart. But I just looked at your chart and said, “Whoaaa. What the frick frack is going on with her chart?!” It’s like a ping pong match all over the grid! And now it’s going back up. Isn’t it supposed to go down when you are ready for AF?! What is up??
Wish—Are you on vacation or working in NC? Either way, if a beach is involved it sounds like heaven. Enjoy your time in the sand and sun!
Smiles—I have no idea how you are doing it, not knowing the gender of this little high-fiver. Serious discipline there. Do you think you’ll change your mind or not? That picture is too much!
Moni—How are you doing with your time of TTC freedom? Has it still been as refreshing and relaxing for you?
Kayotic—Yowsas! A hernia? How did that happen? Do they need to do anything to treat the cyst and hernia? Was it the hernia that was actually giving you the pain or the little cyst? But what super news about the sac and yolk!
Fezzle—That must be a relief to know if you don’t get pregnant in the next couple of months, you will have a referral to an RE in July. That must take some pressure off you, as well. And good luck with the soy isoflaven regiment. For so many ladies, it has done wonders and many people swear by the soy isoflavens taken at those days for helping them get pregnant. I’m hoping you are one of them! I took them for one cycle and it royally messed it up….but that’s because I had no business taking them and it fell under the category of “I have to try everything because something might work!” But soy sounds like a perfect avenue for you!
Future Mom—Ugh, I’m sorry that this is just dragging on for you. Are you going to do the D&C? Now, what do you mean “try again before it’s too late?” Are you guys on a timetable? I’m sorry if I missed something?
Radkat—YES to the catch 22. I always have to test in the morning, even though it’s not recommended, cuz I can’t hold my pee for that long to test in the afternoon. Have you thought about trying Mucinex pills (the over the counter cold pills) for increased CM? That’s what my doctor recommended since my cervix doesn’t produce normal amounts of CM due to a past surgery on it. May give it a shot. It can’t hurt!
Erin—Excited for your current cycle. Wednesday is another big day here on the thread. IUI, here you come! You will have to let us know how it goes!
OlderM—That’s funny about your husband sleeping on the couch. Hee hee! It’s a running joke between me and my husband about the house being a disaster when I’m out of town. I had told him that my ex-boyfriend used to leave the house in shambles when I’d be gone on business trips, and I’d come home exhausted, only to find a filthy house. So, my husband always makes a big deal about how bad he’s let the house get when I’m away…and he sends me pictures off the internet of disgusting microwaves, toilets, dishwashers, etc., claiming they are our house. It’s funny. Men!
Am I properly caught up? I hope I didn’t miss anyone’s recent posts. Off to spend the day with DD. I SHOULD be vacuuming the house before we go, but I’m not gonna. The dog hair and dust can wait another day. I’m going to enjoy this day, dirty floors and all.
