The New Positively Positive Thread of Positivity *13* BFPs!!!

[Stinas]

GP - Thats crazy how they won't test you now….bad luck is not good enough answer for me. Maybe you can get a second opinion or change docs?

 

[GingerPanda]

I like my doc... and three losses is standard practice in most places. I can REQUEST the testing, but it's expensive, and my insurance won't cover it.

So I'm hoping it IS just bad luck... But when I get pregnant again, I'm going to ask for progesterone and baby aspirin.

 

[Stinas]

Yeah I understand. It just sucks going through it three times. I can't imagine. I went though one and it was enough for me. Still scary to go to every scan even being so far along.

 

[GingerPanda]

Yeah... I will never go to another scan expecting everything to be okay. That's not very positive, but... I have yet to be given a reason to feel otherwise.

 

[Stinas]

I never thought I could MC……so every scan I was all pepped up…..until the day where I could even see on the screen something was wrong. Ever since then….still…even today when I went…..I don't even move until I see that flicker and them moving around.

 

[Bumblebee2408]

I'm the same I've had 7 scans & each time I panic after our miscarriages but once you feel them you start feeling better. I know its hard trying & you keep getting the heart ache from the loss but it is worth it in the end xxx

 

[wantanerd]

apparently I didn't ovulate well. Progesterone was very low so no miracle this month. Bummed. I was liking I had another week to hope. Stupid body. But now onto the crazy task of moving and getting settled in a new state. I just hope our new insurance covers some fertility treatments!

 

[GingerPanda]

Sorry, Wanta! I know that feeling! Do you think AF will come on her own, or will you need Provera? Every time my results came back saying no ovulation, I knew I would have a terrible 1 month wait until I could try again. Because AF wouldn't come, the doctor would make me wait 2 weeks just to "make sure I'm not pregnant" (which drove me CRAZY, as how can I be pregnant if I didn't ovulate?!), then it takes like another 2 weeks for the Provera to work.

 

[wantanerd]

I am spotting today but I am not going to use provera or prometrium to induce a period since we are moving. I am out for a few months at least. We have to see how we will fair in the uber expensive DC area before we can see if we can afford for me to go to a FS up there.

 

[Lionchild]

Sorry this wasn't your month wanta. I hope the move is relatively painless. Good luck!

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Sorry wantanerd it will be your time again one day & it'll be really special xxxx

Sorry to hear that Wanta...I know how disappointing it can be but at least you won't have to worry about overdoing it or injuring yourself during the move. Maybe it's better to not have to think about TTC while you're adjusting to the new state and home. I've moved so many times that the thought of being pregnant while in the midst of it just sounds horribly stressful. I do hope that when you're ready to start TTCing again in a few months that your insurance will work out perfectly. Is it a PPO? If it is then there's a good chance they'll at least cover some fertility treatments. Btw....Hubby and I decided to go see a specialist at the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine...you were right, it is quite arguably the best reproductive center in the world...and the doc I'm going to see has done tons of research on PCOS. So thank you for making that recommendation. It's a bit of a drive down to Denver but I know it'll be worth it.

Lionchild....the fertility treatment debate ended on a positive note....I think DH was just afraid of the change a baby would bring to be completely honest, but it's a good thing the debate happened because he had a heart change and actually is totally on board with it all...he's even okay with the possibility of multiples (although I'm not okay with the possibility of triplets - I personally don't think my body can handle more than 2)!

GP....I can understand not wanting to be positive when it comes to scans and I'm sorry your doctors are just calling it "bad luck." That would completely infuriate me. I do hope you're able to rise above this and get back on your feet again. I know we're meant to have children, and I know the pain involved when awful things like MCs happen but hey, we're women....we're strong. You can do it!!!!

 

[Lionchild]

I'm glad you're getting some assistance and that DH is on board, Opera. I hope it's not too much longer before you get your BFP. I have a feeling the fertility center will be able to help you get a BFP quickly. I've heard great things about the center in Denver. I don't know about you, but just going to an RE makes me feel like I'm a step closer to holding a baby in my arms.

Ginger, my thoughts are with you. I'm still so angry that you had to go through this again. It just completely sucks.

AFM, we got news on DHs SA on Thursday. Sperm count and motility were normal, but morphology came back at less than 1%. I think we now know one reason why it takes us so long to get pregnant each time with me ovulating regularly. DH's round cell count was also high, so he's on 10 days of antibiotics, and then he goes back for another SA to see if the round count has improved. I just O'd last night or today, so we'll see what happens with this cycle. If nothing happens, I have bloods tests, an HSG and a hysteroscopy scheduled for next cycle. Pending the results of my tests and what the RE suggests, we plan to move forward with IUI by the end of the summer.

Also, today marks my 2 year TTC anniversary. I feel OK about it surprisingly. Life is pretty good for me at the moment, and I feel I have grown up so much over the past two years. I'm better prepared to be a mom today than I was two years ago.

Thanks for all your support over the last year and a half, ladies (when I joined BnB). This was the first thread I joined and it's nice that we still have it going. We all need some positivity even when we feel the world/ biology/our bodies are against us.

 

[wantanerd]

We found out we get to keep the military insurance for 6 months so there's hope we can conceive a baby for free but I am going to give myself a little time to get adjusted and we're hoping new insurance will only want a dr visit fee every time we go.

 

[Lionchild]

That is great news, wanta!

 

[GingerPanda]

Thanks, everyone! I MC'd Thursday night with misoprostol pills. I also learned that I am immune to vicodin.

My birthday was yesterday. My mom sent me flowers, chocolates, a card, and a check for $250. The card came very close to making me cry. It says, "Daughter, my birthday wish for you: I hope that every candle brings a new wish. I hope the smile that lights your face stays there the whole year. I hope everything you're dreaming about will come true for you. I hope you know how much I love you and how proud I am of you. I hope this birthday is everything you've dreamed it will be and that the coming year will bring you even more grace and beauty. Happy birthday, with so much love." and then she wrote, "I know this is a difficult birthday. We are thinking of you. Love, mom and dad"

She has been so supportive through all this. She cried in anger and sadness for me about how unfair it was that this journey is so much harder for me than it ever was for her or either of my sisters. She has really helped pick me up and keep me from slipping into depression... Hubs had to leave today for work. He'll be gone all week. Emotionally, I don't think I'm ready to be alone, but I couldn't go because I have to see my doctor on Wednesday.


Lionchild, I think IUI is the way to go, and I hope you have great success with it!

Wanta, that's great news about the insurance. I hope you can get the ball rolling soon.

Opera, I'm glad your husband is on board!

 

[Stinas]

Ginger - Im sorry you are going through this hard time…..but the card is right…you will get your wish and dream soon! Don't ever lose hope!

 

[opera_lady24]

How is everyone today? I'm so glad you get to keep your insurance for a little while longer wanta! That's happy news!

GP: Happy belated birthday! I'm so sorry it had to be so disappointing for you but here's to hoping that you'll be holding a baby in your arms for your next birthday!

Lionchild: GL with the IUI! I hope it truly works out for you this time! And I'm glad you found out more about DH's situation. Every bit of knowledge helps get you that much closer. I also totally agree with you that the last few years have gotten me ready for motherhood....and it's gotten DH ready for fatherhood too. It just proves that everything has its time. I'm so glad you joined this thread! It's been so nice getting to know you and everyone over the past year or so.

No news on my side. Just waiting for my RE appointment. Really looking forward to it. DH is also really looking forward to it which is a nice change from his attitude toward appointments in the past.

 

[wantabby]

That's great Opera! I'm glad DH is looking forward to your appt. It makes it nice to have support!!

I am waiting on ovulation. I usually happens between cd17-19 so I will start timed bd'ing at the end of the week. Every other day until +OPK. Then every day for 3 days..hopefully it will end with a BFP this month!

 

[Bumblebee2408]

Opera: fingers crossed your appointment

As for us baby is now wiggling like crazy and causing me back ache. I have a proper bump now too xx
