Kendra - Thanks, but I think at this point I'm looking too hard for symptoms, and they really aren't. Hahaha.

Chat - Sorry AF got you. Lots of luck next cycle.

Mk8 - Glad you enjoyed my crazy symptom spotting. I'm writing EVERYTHING down since it's my first Clomid cycle, in case I have to do more, that way I can look back and remember
that I went through all these things before.

Rae - Even if you can't get an earlier appt, Jan 30th will be here before you know it! And yes I totally agree - VACATION!!!

 

[KendraNoell]

Nah you can never look too hard

 

[raelynn]

Yes, I agree, Jan 30 will come fast. We're just worried that the other center won't be able to get us in for a long time. To get in to the obgyn as a new patient it was 6 months so if it'll be that long, we'll stick with the original appointment.

 

[raelynn]

How is everyone?

AF has come for me and I'm angry at her since there is really no point for her right now. On the bright side, we found a fertility center that is better covered by our insurance and they had an appointment available this Friday! So, will be having our consultation then to figure out what the game plan is. I'm excited but also nervous to find out what new hoops we have to jump through to get this baby.

 

[Lisa92881]

Oh good luck Rae! I hope you get good news!!

 

[raelynn]

Thanks! I'm thinking that it won't be good news at this point but it will at least be the next step. My assumption is hubby will have to follow up with a urologist for testing and such since my obgyn referred one but we'll see what they say. The consultation is supposed to take about an hour so we should at least get some good information.

 

[mk8]

Good luck Rae!

How are you doing Lisa? Tested yet? I have resisted but I have mixed feelings about this month. I was so hopeful, I was sure this cycle would be it then I get the AF symptoms- sore boobs, bit of CM, cramps and some v v slight spotting. Hmpf. My boobs are so sore on Clomid and I get period pains just before AF on this stuff. Crazy.

 

[Lisa92881]

Tested Sunday, BFN. I think I'm testing again tomorrow morning. I really think I'm 12 dpo not 10, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

At least it is another step on your journey towards getting your baby!

 

[raelynn]

Good luck ladies! Hope this is it for you!

Exactly. I'm anxious to get going on the new plan, whatever that may be. So, I need to find out what the plan is first.

 

[KendraNoell]

Honestly ladies, the only definite BFP symptom I had was like 8 DPO I was very feverish (I think I was implanting) and thought I was getting the flu. Other than that EVERYTHING felt like AF was still coming. Don't get discouraged!!

Thanks Kendra!

 

[mk8]

Thanks kendra

 

[Lisa92881]

BFN this morning, especially sucky after having a dream I got a BFP. My temp today is pretty much exactly the same as it was last cycle at 11 dpo....that can't be a good thing.

 

[raelynn]

Don't give up yet Lisa! It's still early and you're still above the coverline.

 

[Lisa92881]

Thanks. It's going to be a long day at work, I'm cranky. Haha. Of course we have a staff meeting after school so it's going to be even longer. It's already one of those days where I want to curl up on the couch!!! Ugh.

Brown spotting so af is def coming. I don't know why but this cycle has hit me hard. Cycle 14, 13 months, second on clomid and no bfp ever. I was so hopeful and I'm now locked in the ladies cubicle feeling upset. The thing that gets me is that nobody seems to be helping. My doc won't refer me for an hsg until we have been trying for two yrs and its all to do with costs. Some areas in the uk refer u for an hsg after a year so I'm feeling really angry right now. Whilst they may not pay for ivf (if required), I'd expect the initial tests to be done. I've been pretty relaxed in the last 6 months, a few down moments but today this has hit me badly. I got it into my head this was my cycle. I've found clomid hasnt done anything except made my Pms stronger.

 

[raelynn]

mk8 - have you checked into seeing a fertility specialist. I haven't even gone to ours yet but mine asked for the films for my HSG so I'm sure they'd send me for testing if it hadn't already been done. I've heard that RE's are more likely to send you for testing earlier.

Hi Rae. My GP doesn't seem to want to refer me anywhere and I think it is all to do with costs. He keeps telling me to relax and it will happen but I get so annoyed - how does he know? He thinks we have been trying for 18 months and I think it is reasonable to have an HSG by now and especially if he prescribed me Clomid. I don't really know how to go about booking myself in for a fertility specialist. I don't think I can get IVF on the NHS (ie paid for by the State) because of the area I happen to live in, which means I need to go private for things if required. I think it is cheaper to get private treatment at a State hospital rather than private treatment at a private hospital, so I want my doctor to refer me to the most appropriate place. Should it turn out that I need treatments to get pregnant, I want to try and keep costs as low as possible. My medical cover doesn't cover infertility.

How did you go about finding your FS? Fingers crossed that you find him/her helpful and they find a really good solution for you guys. I hope that 2012 is the year for all of us to become mummies.
