[mommylov]

Keeping my fingers crossed for lots of nice big follies for you hun!!!

I still havnt gotten a +opk as of yet. Dr said if I dont get one today then she wants me to come in tomorrow for scan. Looks like I might be doing my IUI over the weekend at this rate!

Hope you all are well!

 

[Smiler82]

Oh Lilesmom so sorry you're feeling so crappy Hope you got some sleep and you get some good news asap re your mum's tests xxx

FX for you babybemine

Any news on your OPKs mommylov? I guess at least if you have IUI done over the weekend it gives you a chance to put your legs up and rest xxx

 

[mommylov]

Smiler, no + today. This is a first for me. I have never not had a +... kind of scares me into thinking something is not right. I keep telling my dr that I feel off and she just seems to think I have a bug. Im worried about it being something else like my thyroid or maybe I got an infection from the HSG or something like that. I dont like that my body isnt acting right. Im so tired everyday for the past week (Had the HSG last Thurs) and it doesnt matter how much sleep I get. The hotflashes seem to be a little better but Im very light headed and feel like Im going to faint sometimes. I never fainted before so I dont know what else to make of these symptoms. The only thing that makes me think that it cant be an infection of any kind is because I dont have a fever. Ugh I just dont know what to think and its all making me worry.

Made an apt for tomorrow morning with my dr. I think they are going to do a scan and see whats going on and maybe give me a trigger? So that would make the IUI fall on sat.

Just a quick one ladies before dinner I am SO hungry!!

Mommylov I am so pleased to see you got a +OPK at last. Are you still going for a scan though? I was going to say, before I saw your chart, that I remembered that some ladies on here did not ovulate after an HSG. I don't recall if I did or not - I think not. It is weird as docs say it has no effect but anecdotally that doesn't seem to be the case. But anyway, I hope this was a proper LH surge and not just a false one xx

Lilesmom thansk for the tips I read your post last night and tried pillow between legs and it did help Glad to hear your parents are doing a bit better. How are you feeling?

Hi withlovemom! How are you feeling? Any pg symptoms?

AFM am just so tired after a long day and RLP seems to be kicking in, making bump v uncomfy. Have the docs on Tues for a check up so will ask, tho am sure it's all normal xx

 

[mommylov]

Hi ladies! Well this was morning was a surprise. Last night POAS and the lines were considerably darker but I didnt know whether to count it as a + or not. This morning I went in for my scan and dr said that I was releasing to it was safe to say that was a +. She then did the IUI. Thank god DH came with me! His SA came back at 80 million and 70% motility which she said was good. Now keeping our fingers crossed that it worked! We are going to rely on just the IUI this month and if it doesnt work, then we will do IUI + BD next month.

Babybemine, how did your scan go?

Laura, hope you and your mom are doing better!

Smiler, how are you feeling doll?

:wave: to everyone!!

 

[Smiler82]

Oh wow what a day mommylov!! Hope you have your legs in the air, lol As always, got everything crossed and sending you,lots of PMA and

I'm ok ta just tired! We get a 3 day weekend now so looking forward to chilling out with DH

amy hurray for iui , cme on bfp xxxxxxxxxxxx
fx for u hon xxxxxxxx

my mom is heaps better lookin today, doc says its lookin good for her to prob come home tomor , they r tryin to get her blood levels for warfarin where they want um and it looks good for tomoro. if not then the day after they said hurray
my dad is much better after few days of tablets and less worry about mom
and knowing she will be home, he cant sleep without her.
nice to know they love each other soo much still
ive eaten good few bits today, still have touch of bug but not a fraction of what it was, i feel a lot better
my shower is tomor, cant wait to see all the girls
i won 340euro today too i won my work draw thing again
so happy , it couldnt come at a better time, i had bills comin out of my ears and its enough to cover most of um. il still be lettin OH cover this month mortgage like he promised. but it will cover the other bills, i would have spent next 2 months payin off .
its only one month OH is paying mortgage for, im now proud of myself i managed so long on so little money, it was a good lesson to me that money shouldnt matter as much and its not the end of the world if a bill is paid late. ( although i still prefer payin early )

hi and hugs to all xxxxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

Smiler yay for 3day weekend! Enjoy hun!

Laura, I'm so happy to hear that your mom will be going home soon and that you all are doing better! Maybe a part if the bug was stress? Also awesome about winning that money! Funny how things work out sometimes huh?

 

[lilesMom]

my little nephew has the bug 11 days and cant shake it, half my family have it, its just a long lasting thing, its sticky. but yeah if i had more rest it may have gone quicker alright, ive been out of my house all day every day last week between mom and dad, but things r looking up now again thank god mom has long road ahead with various treatment, she still has to get her skin cancer removed too, but she is so good attitude wise, i know she will be fine. im glad i can help her cos she is great to all 12 of us and has been great all my life dad too
i just got my first maternity payment early cos of long weekend, i thought i would get it late, ( its paid on mon and mon is bank hol ) but i got it already.

[babybemine]

Had the scan in early am yesterday. A 16.5 and a couple of 13's. So far no + on OPK so they are having some time to get a bit bigger. Grow little follies grow. If no + then I go for another ultrasound on Sunday and then maybe get a trigger.

Smiler, how are you feeling dear?

:wave: to you all!!

 

[Smiler82]

Lilesmom glad to hear things are picking up a little for you Yay for the win and the maternity payments kicking in!

Mommylov that's a nice big temp rise on your chart I soooooooo hope this is your month

Argh MEN! Why do they not think like us...DH just told me he's booked time off this month. I can't take time off at this short notice. I have taken his birthday off (a Friday) and the Monday is a bank holiday so we are going to visit his parents that weekend. He has now decided to take the rest of that week off. Leaving him with 10 days to take off in August when the baby arrives, and he wants to save the remaining 4 days of his allowance for Christmas. So - that spa day we were going to take in July? What about that? And clearly you don't feel like arranging to take holiday off at the same time as your wife so you can enjoy a few days on your own together before your lives change forever? No? Oh okay then!! FINE!

 

[mommylov]

Oh no Smiler! LOL Men sometimes dont get it Have you said any of this to him? Frustrating sometimes when we have to spell things out for them but I really think that women just think more rationally sometimes heheheh I hope you guys are able to get all the vaca time sorted out. And yes would be great for you guys to spend time together before youre world is turned upside down.

Laura, how are you feeling today hun?

Babybemine, did you get your + yet?

Good Morning to everyone!

 

[Smiler82]

I will say this to him later He is at home right now, but we're both working so I will leave it til we've finished. We had this conversation over the phone earlier but he clearly didn't get it so am going to raise the subject up again when I am calmer. I did put the phone down and cry, lol. I wouldn't normally cry at such a conversation but hey, pregnant ladies can do that kind of thing We have this silly thing where if we argue over the phone, when we next see each other we just don't bring it up. We are just very nice to each other, but quieter than normal. We each sit there and stew in our juices, then later on one of us (usually me) brings it up again. So long-winded!

How are you doing mommylov? Feeling any PMA this cycle? I am sending all my baby vibes your way xxx

 

[mommylov]

ya, better to calm down and then talk to him. You are carrying his child so being emotional is to be expected but I dont think that you are in the wrong here. Wanting to plan your time off and make sure that there is enough for when the baby comes is exactly what I would want too! When you get home and talk about this, Im sure DH will change his tune and will see where you are coming from.

Im doing ok but still no PMA I think its because of my history. Pregnant twice on the first try naturally and then 5 months of -HPT's wich the help of science. Just doesnt sit well with me DH is very optomistic and really believes that we will be parents one day. I know when I get pregnant I will be a nervous wreck. The thought of an US at 6-14wks just makes me want to cry right now. Going to try and do my best to be more positive if that day ever comes and we fall pregnant. I do have moments of hope that the combo of HSG and IUI this month will do it for us but we'll see.
