Testers,TTC&After Conception-Clomid,IUI,IVF,Femara -EVERYONE!!

Thank you so much for all the LOVE!!!! It feels so good to have such an AMAZING support system and I'm so glad I have you to share it with! It's very weird carrying around this secret, so I'm thankful I got to let it out of the bag a little!! :hugs: to all of you!!!!!! Looking forward to more :bfp: so we can all do the :happydance:!

PS - when did you all start telling people?!?! By my calculations I'm 5 weeks, so I know it will be a while, but just not sure when?!
 
@smiley....actually now that i think about it a friend of mine kind of had the same thing happen and her doctor thinks its because of the hsg that cleared the tube that she was able to get pregnant. Her hsg was right around the time of implantation, i believe 5 dpo?! and boom 10 days after the hsg preggo.

Yes I had my HSG on CD 11, 5-8 days before ovulation! So the hope was that it cleared out my one working side and if I happened to release an egg from that side I might get pregnant! It was a big fat MIGHT, so somehow the stars were aligned and my miracle baby made it!!!!!!
 
I had to tell my work right away because there was things I couldn't do while pregnant but we waited until after my 12 week scan to tell family :)
 
Smiley -- what a GREAT surprise!

I'm *thrilled* for you, and so excited to have someone at about the same stage as me to track progress with. Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months, and an exciting, baby-filled July!!
 
Congrats smileydoc! Soo good that you tested just to make sure! Awesome surprise
 
Long post coming....sorry if I missed anyone!!

Cider: That beta looks wonderful!!! Cant wait to see just how fast it is doubling :happydance:

Moni: :test:

Lifeis: Keeping my FX that your follies will grow and be ready for trigger on the next u/s.

River: I loved all of your responses to MWB :rofl: they were great! I always had to do a baseline u/s after medicated cycles just to check for cysts. Let’s just pray you won’t need that u/s and that you guys caught that egg(s). It’s scary to do an IUI with that many. Did they give you guys a choice or just cancel based on their policy? I did an IUI with 6 follies and 3 stragglers but no trigger (so not all of them would ovulate) and still got BFN…. You never can tell what is going to happen.

Ttc: half way through the tww!! Keeping my FX those spermies caught one of three eggs!! When is your test date??

Manda: welcome back and best of luck!! Sounds like you had good timing and hopefully you can catch that egg!

Hockey: how was your appt yesterday? Best of luck with all the wedding planning!! That is so exciting and February is coming up so quick :)

Smiley: how did your treatment go, any side effects? When do you have an u/s to see how its going?

FindingK: best of luck with IVF :hugs: We have many miracles coming from many ways. Have you given it thought to how many you are going to put back in?

KC: planning on chart stalking in the next coming week!!

MWB: one of the other pharmacists opened up to me a few months back and shared with me that they were trying for a year and did a bunch of fertility treatments and that she had a loss within a week of my first loss. Once I got my BFP I went out to dinner with her and we shared everything. Come to find out we were at the same clinic and were seeing the same NP’s at the same time. It really helped to share that with someone and just see how many people are struggling with conceiving. So ONLY if you are comfortable and want to share….otherwise, its none of their business. Only one person asked me….so who’s the father? And of course it was a male who asked :haha:

Allika: really liked your FB announcement! That was so cute. I was considering an idea and thought I would throw it out to you ladies…… you know all those list people are doing about things people don’t know about them…I thought of just creating one of those and making #8 (b/c it was IUI #8) saying something like “Few people know that I am growing my miracle in me” I just need to tell my niece and nephew before I do a FB announcement ☺

Hopin: I’m still guessing a girl for you!!! Though my track record hasn’t been great lately :haha:

Kins: they did keep you on orals for a long time there…that’s a new one for me. But….appears it worked for you! Almost 19wks…can’t wait to see what fruit you are tomorrow!

Lune: Yay, you’ll know the sex for xmas!! I’ve heard of couples who learn the sex right around that time have had the sex written down and then they open it on xmas morning.

IGH: Congrats on being half full!!! Can’t wait to see what size fruit you are tomorrow!

LDizzy: just two more months!! Have you packed your bags for the big day yet? Do you have a nursery set up?

Lei: how are things going with you girl?

Grateful, Jenna and Luna: time for new baby pics!!! We :heart: baby pics!

Rojo: Congrats on your beautiful baby girl!! Praying you guys head home very very soon.

AFM: genetics called yesterday and said I could try and repeat the Harmony test if I wanted to or I could move onto other testing options. I had selected the Harmony test because it was zero risk to the baby, just a simple blood draw where they can extract the fetal DNA from my blood. It works 98% of the time…I fell into the 2% of people who didn’t get results on the first round. I have a 50% chance of getting results on the second try…which I did yesterday. I know in my heart that the results won’t change my actions but would just help me mentally prepare for our future together. So I’ll see what happens with new two vials they took. Then next month I do the second part of the blood draws they do for the NT to look at neural things (I didn’t do the full NT scan).
I’m also still struggling with MS everyday. I’m still losing weight and I know I’m not getting in enough calories. I’m trying my best to eat….this morning I enjoyed peanut butter and banana on toast. Yesterday I craved French toast so I made some for dinner….also yummy!

We got a choice.
Go ahead with IUI
Do a follicular aspiration and then IUI
Cancel
Convert to IVF

They really were against converting to IVF so they didn't give us that choice at first. They really didn't recommend going ahead with the IUI either. The aspiration was akin to an egg retrieval and I wasn't up for that. So we cancelled. I do hope something happens with this cycle.

Whohoo Cider we're belly buddies!!! When is your due date? How are you feeling? So excited to share this with you :flower:
 
Smiley: I remember Lei comparing having the HSG to adding velcro to your system!! Seems to work wonders. I got y BFP the second cycle after mine :)

River: I don't think follicular aspiration was ever offered to me....and something I never read about either. I'm surprised so many people have IUI's canceled when that is an option....unless its not done at a lot of places :shrug:

AFM: I was craving a baked potato with sour cream for dinner so I got all bundled up and went out in the rain to get it....and now I don't want it....blah! This is how dinner goes most nights....I struggle to eat dinner
 
OMG smiley!!!!!!! Excellent news! How did you tell your husband??? Also can you remind me had you been on meds prior to the hsg? I keep hearing these stories of bfp after the hshg! So excited for you! Count down to scan pics :)

Allika- Aww poor dog lol jk. That is a cute announcement. Where is everyone getting those chalk boards I've just been printing out my week on regular white paper for my bump pictures. Hasn't been exciting
 
Adj- I have a cyst aspirated right before my ivf cycle and it was one of the most painful things. I would not recommend to anyone!
 
SMILEY congrats!! :yipee: What a wonderful :bfp: and that makes 2 for November!! :dance: Fabulous!!!
 
Congrats Smiley!!!

AFM - testing tomorrow....
 
Congratulations Cider and Smiley!!!


What a great couple days....and can't wait to see WHO #3 will be! I'm so happy for you two, how wonderful. Are these your first BFPs?

Yes FIRST :bfp: which makes it even harder to believe after months and months of disappointment! Hoping everyone else gets their moment and can share in this joy :happydance::happydance::happydance:
 
Morning all:)

3dpo today nothing exciting. I am trying to not symptom spot at all this month but it is sooooo hard. lol
 
So sorry I've been MIA lately girls. Things have been so crazy with the move and now we have Thanksgiving coming up that my mother volunteered us for only a week after we moved :dohh:
I've been stalking though and wanted to give a big :hugs: to the BFPs!
 
If anyone needs a smile or a laugh this morning, I just posted a really cute video of Jimmy in my journal. :flower:
