The LTTTC thread for everyone.

Good Morning ladies

Jen- So happy for you awwww 170 bpm is supposed to be a girl I think What a flippin relief hey? Now you can enjoy things Jen's gonna have a baby Please stay here and don't leave us

Peace- Your right there are studies that back the immunity problems however when we were talking about it with FS he said he had gone to a conference and they discussed fertility and immunity with the speaker and it was agreed not enough research and studies had been performed. However when they were talking amongst themselves they were discussing the protocol for immunity issues that they use for their patients

So he was saying its just as frustrating for doctors that want to move forward when its still being pushed under the rug so to speak. Same with DHEA, he said there's been leaps and bounds discovered with that but because the studies aren't there yet its not standard protocol and alot of women that could have been treated were turned away.

Mind you he was talking about one particular conference he had just been to but he said at least their discussing protocols at this point That being said when I went to the OBGYN in May one believed in immunity problems and the other said it has no effect and steriods do not work Which is why I haven't been treated until now, its finding the right doctor

Milty- Do a digi and then you have it in words but there is def a line there

Liz- good morning

Bmom- good morning lovelt

Alsion- I love journals as well

Morning everyone else

Aw thanks for wanting me to stay, this thread is my bnb home, I'm invested in you girls!
I am 8 weeks by lmp, a couple of days less by measurement, which makes sense because of course the month I got pg I wasn't temping around O time
I wish I knew what did it. I suspect maybe switching my clomid to days 3-7? I wish I could know for sure but of course being unexplained you never really know. I have been taking a really good prenatal and baby aspirin, started a few months before pg and the other thing was the anti anxiety, I was thinking that might be something because of the anti depressant theories

Where's milty

 

[crystal443]

Yes, where is Milty??

Funny how we can go years without a BFP and then out of the blue its just there, I always think its wrong of docs to give numbers on chances of concieving because a BFP could be the next month. We were given really low numbers and got pregnant, you were given low numbers as well and your pregnant I'm just glad you proved the numbers wrong

 

[peacebaby]

Overmoon for you & your hubby Jen !!! That is a lovely healthy HB. This is too exciting for us so there is no way you are leaving here

Love your DH's question, he must be feeling so proud now! I remember him saying he is going to get you knocked up after that awful doctor's appointment and he was right!

That anti-depressant theory...it may have been the right combo for you with the prenatal etc. Does your dr want you to continue with it?

LL, i think Jen's DH also drank some Coke before the deed to give the swimmers the extra boost

 

[peacebaby]

Crystal has AF calmed down today?

Jen I just screamed your news to DH. He says i've informed the neighbours too He says congrats!

 

[crystal443]

Its still really heavy, I've gone through a full pack of super pads since yesterday and had to get up twice last night to change it Hopefully it slows down some today, I'm not crampy or anything though and feel fine otherwise

How are you getting on with the progesterone? I've got a full box but never had to use it

 

[readyformore]

Jen!! What good news.
FYI- you can't tell gender by the hb either, especially not yet. There is a slight variation after 34 weeks when the nervous system becomes more mature, but the hb is always that high so early.

Your husband cracks me up!
Will you find out the gender then? I knew with the first two and not the third. I liked both but would go for the surprise again. With my second, I was 13 3/7 when I found out he was a boy. He was flaunting his stuff for everyone to see.
And please don't go. It's not like you're some fly by ttc or even ltttcer that is dropping in to give us hope. We want you to stay.

Who knows what worked. Maybe it was a combination of clomid, antidepressants, or simply just that the stars aligned.

 

[peacebaby]

The stars aligned...can we get them like that when ever one of us ovulates? Every week in other words.

Crystal i'd better stock up on super's then. Progesterone is a doubled edged sword for me, no PMS and my mood is good but i seem to just swell like balloon the moment i start it. Not liking that because i will have to take every cycle. Are you meant to start it with a bfp?

 

[crystal443]

I have it from my IVF cycle and just never got to the point in the IVF cycle to use it My progesterone has always been good though Def stock up on the super but I really hope you don't need them

 

[readyformore]

Crystal........that is one stinking cute pic!! I love it.

 

[crystal443]

Thanks that's my hubby

 

[readyformore]

Thanks that's my hubby

Ummmm.....I hope so!

 

[crystal443]

Yeah..can you imagine..oh that's my boyfriend

 

[readyformore]

Yeah..can you imagine..oh that's my boyfriend

Who knows, maybe it's just some cute guy you ran into. I know I think EVERYONE is cute when I'm ovulating. Even my son's soccer coach, that's much younger .

Argh! I'm rambling now......dang ovulatory hormones.

 

[crystal443]

DH always says I'm nicer to him when I ovulate its probably true

 

[Jennifer01]

DH always says I'm nicer to him when I ovulate its probably true

My gosh you guys are cute!!! You make a good couple!

 

[Jennifer01]

LL, i think Jen's DH also drank some Coke before the deed to give the swimmers the extra boost

Yes he did drink a can about half hour before! His SA was normal but not stellar motility-normal but could have been better. Maybe they should put that on the coke commercials, it's a whole untapped market

 

[Jennifer01]

Jen I just screamed your news to DH. He says i've informed the neighbours too He says congrats!

Thanks hubby!Sometimes I will tell DH a story, and I'll go "oh, you know, peace,(or Milty, crystal, ready etc) and he will look confused then say "ohhhh the girls!"

 

[Jennifer01]

Yes, where is Milty??

We were given really low numbers and got pregnant, you were given low numbers as well and your pregnant I'm just glad you proved the numbers wrong

I have honestly thought about writing a post in the ltttc success stories catagory, here is why. I would always search success stories and read stuff like "oh don't worry girls, I'm 40 and I got pg in 4 months there is hope!!" ugh! I always wanted to hear about ladies that were at it for a long time and weren't given lots of hope etc. I know I won't be comforable doing for a couple months still

 

[crystal443]

My DH does that too he's well aware of Peace and her immune meds, he'll ask how she's feeling on hers, he knows your pregnant Jen he knows about Milty's tests because the photos were saved to the desktopwhen I tweaked them so he had a look He knows Liz because we've been on here way too long together TTC, I never really talk about anyone on here but if its something big like Jen getting pregnant I'll tell him or because Peace's immune problems are so similiar to ours I'll mention if she posts something about it Things like that to give him a bit of hope as well
