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

[Jrepp]

Man you guys are up so early!!

Good morning ladies. Stopped taking opk i think i missed my surge
Anyways, temps looking good so far i think i o'ed already what do you think? Appreciate your responses...

It's hard to say because there are some missing temps. But it looks good. You are only 2 days into what they say is your fertile period, so you may not have missed it. Have you had any other o symptoms?

CONGRATS Mrsstrezy and Kiwiberry! Happy and healthy 9 months!!

I have to give an extra special congrats to Jenna, SO EXCITED for you after such a long wait!! I know this must be surreal for you! I hope everything continues to go perfectly

So, thank you girls for getting in touch with Amy's friend. I'm sad to hear she is in the hospital again, but I'm also glad she's okay, and hopefully on the road to feeling much better. It is so hard to know a friend is going through this and there's nothing we can do in person to help Amy we will be so happy when you're feeling better and come back to talk to us!!

Mary, I'm sorry to hear all this about your brother and Aiden's dad. I hope your brother does fully recover after the meds are finished. I think suing the hospital is a good idea. As much as it sucks to go through the legal stuff, he might get a nice settlement that will at least pay those medical bills and help with the loss of a paycheck. Best of luck to him and your mom and his gf. And for Aiden- momma knows best. You will make the right choice for him. Moving would probably be a great idea. That way, you can get away from his dad's mom, and if he wants to see Aiden when he gets out of prison, then he will have to make it a special trip. He's doing this to himself and you're right, Aiden doesn't deserve to get the negative repercussions of his dad's actions. Even if his dad has good intentions, he is not being a good role model for Aiden and clearly it is affecting him... while at home, Aiden does have two good role models as parents and he will be happier just having a good routine and clear expectations. It will all work out somehow. Make sure if you move, if there are any kind of requirements for how long you have to be a resident or work at a certain job before they would cover IVF. Like even if it's not long at the job, it's still possible you'd have to be a resident for a year or something... who knows. Just throwing that out there.

I randomly had EWCM today, so weird, I think I'm still like 3-4 days away from ovulation but who knows. I haven't been temping and it's keeping my stress at bay. I'm also SO insanely busy with work (hence not writing til after midnight) so I have no time to think about this stuff. It's nice to be taking a break. DH and I did NOT get to have our counseling sesh today bc it turns out I had a rehearsal scheduled at the same time as the appt- oops, my bad. But, we did make some progress with the one hour we had together at the end of the day. I'm trying to teach him how I like to be loved, especially in regards to the type of physical affection I respond positively to. Men can be so darn clueless and it's not his fault, but I want to have that intimacy with him... I have been missing it for years, sadly. I think it will majorly help us. So yeah! That's my happy news for the day. Have a great weekend everyone!

thanks mega, and my guess is u already oed unless ur temp is still down because I either am 3dpo with a broken thermometer or flat temps (getting a new thermometer today) or im O'ing today. I swear I feel like I already oed because my nips tell me so haha. Who knows, maybe I'm really not Oing until today. I haven't really been paying attention and I'm usually SO consistent with taking my temp but this cycle not so much. Either way, if we haven't O'ed, it should be in the next day or two at the latest. Are u NTNP this cycle or are u full on taking a break?

And ur right about aidens dad, everything u just said to me, I said to dh and my mom yest while I was bitchin about it. I know Aiden will be ok. And I completely agree about the structure...thats one thing his dad and grandmother dont seem to to understand. He's not a baby anymore and is in kindergarten, he needs a daily, steady routine! They just think about themselves. I feel like this is going to be very relaxing for me...i feel horrible saying that but after a long day of thinking yest, that's how I feel. He could have easily not driven so he'd be out here for Aidem but he still drove knowing he was on probation driving without a license (hes on probation and just did 6 months in the county jail for the same thing!!) Soo frustrating.

As for the insurance, we actually dont even need to be residents of Massachusetts its strictly through employment benefits so we'd have to wait the 90 days or so and we could still even live in NH. We may check out the towns right near the border. We haven't fully decided yet but moving is def a possibility now. We could stay right where we are but that'd just be a long ride to and from work for dh every day and with our car, his whole paycheck would probably go into gas lol. Our suv is the biggest gas hog EVERR! we'll figure it all out when the time comes I guess . Its weird having so many options...im used to feeling like I have to stick around for Aidens dad but I thought about it and HE moved away from Aiden to Florida for a year about 3yrs ago so why the heck does he think we shouldn't be able to do the same?! U know? If I have to worry about his dad just up and leaving him, his dad can deal with us leaving as well. Its the same dang difference!!! Anyways...lol had to get my a.m venting out

I think I missed something. What is the talk about moving?

Jess, thank u for updating about Amy. I cant believe all this happened. I really thought she checked herself in for safety. I really hope she gets better and really feels better after everything passes. Ugh. I feel horrible for her .
Shes such a pretty, smart, amazing person! She can pull through all of this. I'm happy someone was able to get her to the hospital. So many of my brothers friends have accidentally died from overdosing but that's because nobody got to them on time. She definitely had some angels watching over her and im so thankful for that.
AMY I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH! GET BETTER HUN! WE WANT/NEED U HERE WITH US! YOUR IN MY HEART

Jess thank u again for finding this out for us. I feel helpless in this situation ATM because we cant physically do anything to help her feel better :-\. Id love to make it down south and have a big weekend gathering when Amys feeling better. You all are a huge part of my life now. Itd be awesome to all meet each other (I know, I know, meeting may not be possible but itd certainly be nice!) please update if u hear anything else. I wonder if we can write her or send cards or anything...She'd probably feel so good receiving cards or nice letters from all of us. U know?

I just saw that Amy posted a picture from her hospital room, so it looks like she was admitted. Her friend said that she took a bottle of Tylenol. I told Amy we were all so worried about her and to message me and let me know how she was.

Guys, where does Amy live? And Kenna are you near Orlando at all? I am going to Florida this July to see my mom and sister and her family, and would be thrilled if the opportunity arose to meet in person some time They are in Seminole County, so anywhere within like an hour of there and I bet we could find a meeting place and have coffee or something, if anyone wanted to.

Mary I don't think I have O'd because if you remember my period was late this cycle, so I'm actually only on CD 12. Normally I O on CD 13, so I am expecting to feel O pains probably between today and Monday. I am not going to temp because I'm more relaxed not temping, and I know I ovulate, so yeah we are NTNP and I don't want to stress about it any more than that. I think this might work up until the one year mark for us because it will relieve stress and it will allow me to focus on my relationship, which I believe is headed in a good direction, and if a baby comes then we will be even that much happier. I need to chillax anyway because I don't want to be this kind of mother who is constantly worrying and stressing. And I'm back on Wellbutrin so if I get pregnant I can wean myself off but in the mean time it will help me out.

Amy lives is highlands ranch, which is just south of Denver. Can you take the Wellbutrin while pregnant? I have heard that sometimes it's better for mommy to be and baby, if mommy to be stays on antidepressants throughout the pregnancy.

As for me: went on a fishing expedition up in my vag today. There are a lot of stitches up on my cervix.... Weird. I could feel at least 3 different ones. My uterus is still really achy. I told hubby something feels off in there but I don't know what. I'll talk to the re about it on Monday.

I am still on leave. It was extended until the 12th but I can get a return to work early if I want to and feel better.

Yesterday was an interesting day! My hubby dilly dallied a bit, and then I dilly dallied a bit and when we pulled up to the bank there was a robbery in progress. You can read all about my blog. It was petty cool! To think if any one of our delays hadn't happened, we probably would have been in the bank during the robbery!

 

[Wishing1010]

I loved your blog entry! Some crazy turn of events you had there glad you got to safely be apart of the excitement! Lol

Hmm, I can't believe you have so many stitches up there still! I'm sorry you are still swollen! I bought some loose fitting yoga pants from Old navy to wear after my lap. I had the surgery on Wednesday and returned to work Monday. Bad idea!!! I ended up in the ER the following Wednesday and was not allowed back to work until another week had passed. And I barely had anything done, I can't even imagine how you are feeling. Your uterus is probably crazy sore because of the septum, makes me shiver when I think of the pain you have had to endure. Wish you were feeling normal again!

That's great news about Amy!!!! Keep us updated!

Megan, I live about 2.5 hours north of Orlando but would definitely try to work things out with you!

Really rainy day here today. Took my dog to the vet, went grocery shopping and now am back home in Pj's watching tv with DH. We had to flea bomb our house and then clean all of that up (not much fun!) and hope the dog and cats will stop itching! We have tried everything! Jess, I was up early because my sinuses were acting up and then my head felt like it was going to explode. Feeling much better now though.

 

[Wishing1010]

SweetMelodies, how are you doing? I still chart stalk you every day but see you haven't posted in a while! Your bd schedule looks great, FX for you!

 

[MolGold]

Jess, thanks for the reassuring news about Amy.. Hope you feel better yourself

Its great you guys are planning a meet up, Megan. I live so far out its not even a real possibility to think about it lol!

AFM we are contemplating clomid cycle 1 vs. stress-free NTNP status. Its just my cycle 5 TTC, I don't know yet what I want.

 

[Jrepp]

Another Amy update..... While things didn't go well with Mike on Wednesday, they are at this point still together and trying to work on things as far as anyone knows. Her family is still trying to get all of the details about what happened. She is doing well though and admitted that what she did was "stupid". In Colorado there is usually a 72 hour psych hold, possibly longer depending on what medical treatment was needed at the time.

I sure hope Amy doesn't get mad about me checking in on her, and updating you guys. I would feel horrible!

 

[Jrepp]

Jess, thanks for the reassuring news about Amy.. Hope you feel better yourself

Its great you guys are planning a meet up, Megan. I live so far out its not even a real possibility to think about it lol!

AFM we are contemplating clomid cycle 1 vs. stress-free NTNP status. Its just my cycle 5 TTC, I don't know yet what I want.

Do you have any known issues with ttc?

 

[MolGold]

Jess, what you're doing is great - keeping us reassured.. I am sure Amy will appreciate how much concern you showed and that we all here care a lot about her!!

As for infertility, its unexplained. I did have a loss at 7 weeks about 4+ yrs ago. And I have a BMI of 29 which isn't ideal. But all my tests seem normal and we time BD well and yet, BFN.

 

[Jrepp]

Have you had any testing done yet? I guess with unexplained infertility probably so lol. Have you had a lap/hysteroscopy to see if there was any abnormalities of your uterus. The reason I ask is because my uterus looked completely normal in ultrasounds and whatnot (aside from being in the wrong position), but when they got in there things were not ok.

I would say do what is best for you. Do you think the clomid would help?

 

[Jrepp]

Megan.....look at your wedding dress and then look at mine.......or just look at mine because you know what yours looked like. My mom made my dress using that same one!

 

[Megamegan]

It is similar- I'm so confused, your mom had the dress I had, but made a different dress from it? The top looks pretty much the same...how funny!

 

[Jrepp]

No, I tried that same dress on at David's bridal, and I loved it, but I wanted my mom to make my wedding dress (she wanted to as well). So we took a ton of pictures of the dress and she made a patten and made the dress. Of course there were a few modifications because I didn't like the boning going through the top, and different lace appliqués, but it's pretty similar

 

[confuzion]

Lol all this talk of wedding dresses got me thinking about my dress. I should probably sell it or something. Just sitting there taking up closet space .

I got mine at David's bridal too. Oleg Cassini cwg324.

jrepp, its def true about the antidepressant. I had to stay on mine my whole pregnancy. They said it would've put the baby at risk if I stopped because of random anxiety attacks.

And as for moving, I'm thinking about maybe moving to Massachusetts (the state right below me) because they are legally required to cover 100% of fertility treatments with their employees benefits and that include ivf so if the enzymes and repeat hsg dont help, we have the choice to move down there without me feeling bad like I usually do.

Please tell Amy I said I love her and I hope she feels better soon!

 

[confuzion]

Beautiful dress Jess. Your mom is talented!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Megan, I knew u got AF late but for some reason I thought u still got AF before me/ same time because my cycle was longer too. It was nice having our cycles the same before lol. And I thought u were NTNP for now but wasn't positive. Dh and I are doing the same for the next few months and yeah my tube is what originally made us come to that decision but we needed a break any how and I think it'll be good for all of us ladies and our dh's . Maybe many of u will get a nice surprise without even trying! FX!

It was petty cool! To think if any one of our delays hadn't happened, we probably would have been in the bank during the robbery!

omgosh jess this is crazy! Thank god u were delayed!!!! Pheww! Ill have to read ur blog

And I love how u called it a "fishing exposition" in ur vag haha gave me a nice laugh. But at the same time it makes me squirm thinking about it the stitches just because they can be so uncomfortable! I hope everything's ok in there! Hopefully its just a normal part of the healing process. FX that's the case! I'm also happy u still are on work leave. It really can take a toll on ur body having incisions on ur belly. I never realized how much I depended on my stomach muscles until then. Mine was like a huge C-section opening plus the two side incisions like u have but even with the side ones, it def can take some time to heal and its good ur doc understands that and extended your work leave . I do hope u feel better soon tho!!

 

[MD2004]

Please add me! We test May 11th!
