Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Jrepp]

Hi ladies had results back after a bit of complaining..hcg is only 49 seems rather low but she only wants to re test in a week. Id have thought 48hrs after the first., im losing hope this time

hang in there, there is still a good chance!!!!

How many dpo are you? 49 seems to be a great number if you are close to when AF was due or before AF is due.

I'm a dork and have been testing early. Got lines yesterday and today, but I'm afraid they are all Evaps (especially with being so early!). Stupid wondfo's!!

I honestly don't know if it's an evap or positive. Is it possible you o'd early? 6 and 7 dpo seem really early!

I just looked it up (with Countdown to Pregnancy, I know not totally scientific!) but 20% of pregnant women will get a BFP at 7dpo
You could TOTALLY be one of them!

I personally don't necessarily trust the stats on countdown because it's only when people report it and I feel like a lot of the time people have no idea how many dpo they really are.

Wishing I am so excited for you!! Eeek I hope that is a bfp!!!!

I have been away for a while, trying to catch up now - Bday was Sunday, was Ok, OH took me for lobster and steak on Sat night, and lots of wine lol...was nice. I hate birthdays though.

I am on CD14, and have been getting flashing smileys since CD9. :/ Dunno. We BDed CD 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13...then going to again tomorrow, CD15...I am hoping I get a solid smiley tonight even though was flashy this AM. We were going to do every other day, but had some spontanious sex, which was nice. Haven't really been able to check my CM since I have had a soft cup in so much...but O cramping is pretty much gone...Maybe the OPK missed it...hopefully we got enough in....And if it is later...I hope we get the chance to...My friend's Bday is Friday, and technically a fertile day, so may have to go to Mike's then leave lol.

Talked to my old babysitter online last night, she got pregnant after 5 months with using preseed - was cool to hear that it worked from a firsthand source!

My stupid procedure keeps getting denied by insurance - saw my pain doc monday, and he just upped my butrans patch to the highest dose...it isn't working very well though...and he won't give me anything else...which I don't want to be on anything else, but I want my darn injection! So now they are trying to get both the nerve ablation and a regular injection approved. HOPEFULLY they can get it approved by tomorrow and I MIGHT get in on Thursday..otherwise will be next Thursday most likely.

Going to check back a few pages and try to catch up now! you girls!!

I've had that happen Amy. A flashing smile in the morning and a solid smile in the afternoon. The advanced aren't the best at being flexible with lh surges. I think the morning is better for estrogen and the afternoon is better for lh.

I liked the preseed but don't know if it will work for us until I can start trying again.

 

[Wishing1010]

I'm sure it's an evap but it's a cruel one! Lol

 

[AmySan]

I hope so!!

Praying for you Jess! Just got caught up reading - when is your surgery now?

No fun The only positive thing about surgery is the pain meds, lol. Dilaudid through an IV takes away every pain in the world...physical and emotional..lol. I sure hope it goes well!!

 

[AmySan]

I sure hope it isn't Wishing!! That is really early too!! I've never used wondfos, but I always have the hardest time seeing anything when people post them, and I saw that one!

 

[Jrepp]

Surgery is Friday. I have to be there at 6:30am, surgery should start between 7 and 7:30. It's about 2-2.5 hours long and I'll be in recovery 6-8 hours.....or until I stop puking, pee, fart and keep some food down.

 

[iBeach]

Wooohooo ! Wishing! I am holding my FX!!!!

I got the cramps going already....little light pink when I wipe...AF is on her way.

.....it is not meant to be if it is not happening? or do you believe things can take time....

.....it is not meant to be if it is not happening? or do you believe things can take time....

things can definitely take time hun! It took me a yr to get my handsome little Aiden . And now its already been 11 cycles for me and it'll probably be many more but I believe it'll happen If your donor is still in and u still feel up to it, id say don't give up yet! It takes even the healthiest couples 6-12 months alot of times. I hope everything works out for you!

 

[AmySan]

Katarina - They take time - don't give up! I know in my heart that I will have babies - that we all will - one way or another - It is harder to have to go to a donor for sure...but there is only a 1 in 4 chance even with it timed perfectly...And it is true that even healthy, normal couples, timing everything right can take a year or more. If you don't have anything after 6-7 cycles, maybe see an OB for extra help. That is Mike and I's plan - if after 6 tries nothing, we will go and have a fertility appt and see if there is anything else we can do...and they usually recommend a year wait!

 

[Wishing1010]

ibeach!!! Hang in there!!!' It will happen, maybe get some testing done if no BFP in a few months? It takes time for a lot of us unfortunately. You will get your BFP one day!

 

[aidensmommy1]

My surgeon actually told me sometimes women could use an hsg to "clear the Cobb webs" or so to speak out of ur tubes. Maybe that's something you could look into for the future. The test is not supposed to be used as a tool for ttc but if ur doc would give u an ok for one to check for blockage it could possibly held the process. I heard it doesn't hurt that much if there's no blockage or little blockage. I think it really just depends on the person. Anyways I wanted to throw that out there incase u go talk to a doc and want to mention a few ideas . Good luck hun.

 

[Megamegan]

Wishing, there's no WAY that's an evap!!! I think it's your BFP! I'm so excited, can't wait to see your test tomorrow am!!!

Missink first of all, congrats on being pregnant! I hope you get good results, maybe take a HPT in like 3 days to see if it's darker, that might give you a little bit of relief before your next blood test. Good luck!!!

Jrepp it sounds like you are ready for Friday... I know surgery is such a huge undertaking, I had my first surgery in January so I know the anxieties and fears that go along with it. You'll do great, try to expect the best and fuel your spirit with strength and positivity... it's amazing how the body reacts to our thoughts. We'll all be thinking about you.

 

[Megamegan]

iBeach- I know it's so tempting to think of things that way... but I truly believe that sometimes things just take longer, and more effort. I don't know the best coping mechanisms for other individuals, but for me, I try to focus on the things I can get done while I'm not pregnant or have a baby, and that helps me to keep going each month that I don't get a BFP. I think you've come so far already in finding a good donor and everything, and now it's just a matter of time. Think of those of us with sperm living under the same roof- and I'm on cycle 7 still with no baby! So, it might take a while, but it definitely should happen.

Well spoken, Megan!!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Btw, sorry I haven't been calling any of u by name...i can only remember Megan and Jessica right now just because the names go with their screen names lol. Plus I like all ur screen names I have the most boring name, Mary. Lol. But its after the blessed mother (part of my "gift from god story" about when I was conceived so I do feel lucky to have that name its just very old fashioned!

 

[Wishing1010]

I like screen names too! Haha

So I just was getting ready to get into bed and it hit me, I changed blankets the night before last to a much thinner/less fleece kind of blanket because our normal blanket had a whole soda spill on it and hasn't been washed yet. Anyways, idk if this was enough to affect my bbt at all but it could be a possible reason as to why my temp has barely gone up. I cant believe I didn't think of this sooner! I was just reading about bbt as well and it had mentioned wearing thicker/thinner clothing and diff blankets can make a difference of about .1-.2 degrees (which would really make a difference for me w how little my chart has shifted so far lol. O well. We are using that same blanket tonight, hopefully after 3 nights my body has adjusted and ill see a better rise. We'll see. I hate when I dont get a rise when I expect one...it makes me obsess over charts all day until I can take my temp the next a.m! Lol ugh!

Wishing, def post a pic of ur a.m test tomorrow! I really think that's a bfp. I used about 14 of those tests last cycle and not once did I see a line like that and I ALWAYS get evaps. Even after sitting for days (I keep them to compare to sometimes) they still wouldn't get lines like urs! I truly think ull be celebrating in a day or two! I am wayyyy excited! ill be checking for an update first thing in the a.m...prob before I even enter my bbt...lol
