Sis - I am so glad the flow has eased up a bit - and you even feel like going out to eat with the BFF

I agree with kfs - you ladies often amaze me at your internal strength!!

Terri - you are cracking me with your Prada sunglasses!!! you are fashion forward - you were just looking the other way so maybe you didn't know??? - fashionable is one descriptive term that will not be used for me - im army green most of the time...
and WOW on all that info from the FE... I am so jealous about how much your insurance pays - mine pays zilch... USE IT GIRL!!! I know a BFP is just over the next horizon for you!!!

! How many DPO are you? If it turns out to be full-on AF, that is worth telling your doc about. I hope your day improves from here, Wish!

 

[Wish4another1]

today is 10 DPO - ovulated day 8

 

[Sis4Us]

Oh wish Big

R U still taking the VITEX?? Did u use the P cream every day same time of the day??

Hope u get some answers soon cuz to me seems u need help w O if u have a stronger O your P will rise on its own!!

 

[Wish4another1]

Sis - I gave up on the vitex this cycle because I o'd on day 5/6 the cycle I took it and I bled almost my entire LP too... but I have been taking my fertilaid 3 times a day and it has vitex in it... I still had two days of OPK+ and never had that before vitex last cycle...anyway...

Thanks Oldermom - I would tell my doctor but she really doesn't care...and the OB/GYN told me he would schedule an HSG but that was the 10th and I haven't even had a call about it... I guess I should call...but I don't have it in me today... maybe tomorrow or Monday...

Looks like I will switch to NTNP for the next two cycles as the DH's SA is the 14th - and he likes to "save up" for those - last time 10 days...if the same this time around it will be right over my fertile time... and the next cycle I will be traveling for Uncle Sam during fertile time...
maybe I will switch to just prenatals for April too... give the body a rest from the supplements...

 

[Sis4Us]

That will make his count Lower wish they build up and kill them off u have to keep those guys fresh that might be the reason for having 0%morph they were Dead!!

When we do DH we might push it to 4days but 3 is usually best for him but he needs to clean the pipes every 4-5 days b4!!

A lot of ladies do abstinence for 7-8 days to lower counts for girl sways I wouldnt suggest waiting that long

 

[Wish4another1]

Sis... I have talked and talked to him about can we just do a 5 day abstain... but the dr told him it didn't matter... hello??!!!

I am going to do my best to get him to "clean out the pipes" about 5 days before... but once he gets something in his head - well its hard for me to convince him otherwise...

Thanks

 

[Radkat]

FutureMom - So sorry about the mc. It's just awful. Welcome here regardless.

Sis - So glad you're feeling better. How great that you and DH are going to TTC right away! I wish we were!

Wish - Do you think there's any chance it could be IB? I got IB on 9-11DPO. Re: DH and saving up... Can you find some articles online that talk about keeping the sperm fresh? Maybe he could be swayed? Or do you best seduction a few days before the SA?

Terri - Love your fancy pants new sunglasses. Nothing better than people thinking you're high class when it was a airport buy!

 

[Wish4another1]

Radkat - I would love to think its IB But I've never had it before with 2 pg...

 

[oldermom1975]

Radkat - I would love to think its IB But I've never had it before with 2 pg...

Everything crossed for you, Wish! I would call the OB/GYN and push them about your HSG. It helps our state of mind when things are moving forward. You will feel so much better!

 

[Wish4another1]

Oldermom - well I called... no notes...nothing scheduled...waiting for the nurse to come back (right now she is apparently missing) and
"someone will call me"

...same ole... same ole...

well I guess I better get stuff done today... no use crying over blank medical charts...

 

[felcity 45]

Garfie/Wish - Both your charts look good and it's still early!

Sis - Hope you had a good day.

Hi Terri, Fezzle, Oldermum, Radkat and all the other ladies.

 

[Sis4Us]

Well my BFF got into it W her oldest Big(18) last nite so she didn't sleep much since she stayed up waiting in her to get home and had to get up the younger ones for school so we went to Lunch!!!
Still yummy still great Chit Chat and I got out of the house wore my comfy paint pants but I got out of the house!!

Got a Blaring +++++ OPK noonish so my HCG must still be really high maybe this won't happen as soon as I'd hoped!!

 

[VJean]

Sis, so glad you are feeling better! Hang in there....you'll be TTC again before you know it! I'm hoping that your HCG already started to drop quite a bit, which triggered the bleeding.

Wish, sorry for the early bleeding. That is so frustrating! I've got my fingers crossed that it is IB!

Terri, LOVE the glasses! Your appointment sounds like it went great! You're going to have a bump soon!

FutureMom, that sucks. It really does. I'm so sorry you are going thru his. We have had a terrible run of bad luck lately and I don't like it.

to everyone else!

Wish!!!!-You call that OBGYN again tomorrow and tell them that they were supposed to get back to you on the 10th, and that you would like to schedule your HSG right now. Sometimes they only do it on certain days, so if you get AF in the next couple days (although I hope not), you can schedule it for the next day they are available. Just schedule it, and if things change, cancel/change it. Leave them hanging. This is not a waiting game type of thing. I know you're upset, but like Oldermom says 'action=no more tears' and it makes us feel better. Also, is it really AF? When I read Radkat's response, I got a little excited. Not all pregnancies are the same, so you never know.

Also, my doctor just told me that hubs should abstain 3-4 days prior to the SA. I think 10 days is way too much, and with your short cycles, you can't NOT do it for 10 days. Seriously...why does he say that? Tell him that the longer he waits, the worse the results will be. Did he wait 10 days last time? It's too much. Bring out the waterworks and tell him that time is ticking and if he's not helping, why even try at all? Bring out the big guns babe. When he agrees, soften your sniffles and think of us, and then go get ice cream!

Radkat-Yeah, sometimes I'm fancier than I give myself credit for. HA!!HA!! I guess I should thank my mom for that.

Sis-Glad you got to go out for lunch today. My coworkers and I are going out for Chili's tomorrow, so I took soup today. Not the best, but tomorrow will be a special treat!

 

[Future Mom]

Hi ladies! Hope everyone's doing okay today.

Terri - you're rocking those glasses!

Wish - implantation bleeding? And yes, you just make it impossible for him to go the 10 days...time to break out the lingerie...

Sis - glad you're feeling better today! I understand completely how you feel about wanting to get back in the game asap. I definitely am feeling that too, like we just lost 3 months plus the 5 months it took to conceive before that. But I'm also realizing that this has been traumatic for my body. I had to leave work today (baby passed two days ago) due to cramps. And now I'm starting to think that I should take a month off to heal. And just do all my favourite things that I couldn't do while in 1st tri, since it will be a long haul once we DO get preggers ago - nine months plus breast feeding and then another LO hopefully, so it could be a long time, but totally worth it!!!! So this month is for healing, physically and emotionally, and wine, caffeine, soft cheeses, hot yoga (really really missed that one!), hot tubs, massages (which you're supposed to forego in 1st tri) and anything else I can think of that you're not supposed to do while preggers!!!! Feel free to join me. (OH can still keep on with the cat litter though - don't miss doing that )

 

[Sis4Us]

I know we wont get any help from the FS for a month so I'm not expecting much if anything my HCG is still obviously high cuz my OPK today was ++++++!!

I emailed my nurse w a few questions about testing out my HCG and getting a scan to check my uterus to verify everything is good to go!!!

I got a new treadmill and haven't had the chance to use it so that is first on my list to do DO everyday I gotta get in the pool soon!!
Massage is calling my name too and a Facial since my skin is dry since the baby stopped growing and I'm calling the dentist Tom my teeth have gotta stop hurting!!

 

[terripeachy]

Future Mom-Can you give us your background? We all did this in the beginning, but we have a new member in you, and want the scoop! hee hee.

I was just checking the first page and realized that Argyle hasn't posted since March 01. She got her puppy and left us all in the dust!

Argyle-I hope all is well, and just in case you read this, we're thinking of you. Come back and visit periodically!

I'm going to bed. My boss told the group today that she has taken on a different position at another facility "up the road." It's with our same company, but she's a great boss, and I will REALLY, REALLY miss her. The countdown to having a miserable boss is on....she leaves April 21. What a long day....
