Those that TTC together, Stick together!! 4 BABY BOYS/3 BABY GIRLS

[Deethehippy]

Rosa - sorry about the AF witch, i wish we could all banish her visits.

Love - sorry you are so uncomfy, i hope you feel a bit better soon, i want a BFP so bad i forget the 'not so good' bits about being pregnant!

My AF is dying away, i hope my agnus castus stuff turns up in the post soon so i can get straight onto that. If i have no BFP by summer i am going to seek further advise too. We will see ...

 

[loveinbinary]

Dee- I know how you feel. I wanted my bfp so badly I couldn't wait to wake up every morning sick as dog. At some point you start to miss being comfortable, but I wouldn't trade this experience in for the world. I would rather spend nine months completely miserable just to have lo at the end. Fingers crossed it doesn't come to it, but have you any idea what sort of aid you'd be willing to undergo to conceive?

I feel so bad that you lovely ladies are having such a tough time. I wish there were some sort of magic words I could say to help keep the nasty witch away. It hurts me to see you all struggle with this. You ladies are far too wonderful to have to go through this.

hi everyone

my name is charlene can i ask a question please?

how do you find out if you have any good egg's inside of you because i have cysts on my ovaries.. i was told after i lost my baby i was unable to have children. but i read something someone put about finging out if you got good eggs.

can anybody help me please thank you

xx

I'm not sure, but isn't there a blood test...fsh or something? We haven't gotten that far into the testing yet. Sorry I can't help more.

Afm, AF came this morning. I had brown spotting and dull cramps last night, so it wasn't a surprise. I had a meltdown last night...sobbing about why me, and will this ever happen for us, etc etc. Pity party over. I'm calling a fertility specialist this morning and making an appointment. I have 3 cycles of clomid left before my ob-gyn wants to do anything else, but I'm taking things into my own hands and making an appointment. One more month and it will have officially been a year of trying.

No its fine thanks for you help anyways i just thought there was away of finding out if you had good eggs

well thanks anyways

xx

 

[Deethehippy]

Thanks Love - i'm not sure that i am that lovely but you are very sweet lol

I have 2 wonderful children who i am soooo proud of, really i could not wish for any more, except now i have a wonderful partner too (i seperated from the kids dad 8 years ago) and i just want so much a child with the man i love and adore.

I'm not sure if they can measure your hormone levels in a woman, i think i would want that done first just in case i am approaching menopause or something!

 

[Kiki0522]

Love- Yes it's very expensive! It's awful it costs so much money but yes I would like to conceive for free! haha. Thank you very much for your positive thoughts!
I'm sorry you are feeling so tired! It comes with the territory I guess but it definitely must be hard. Especially standing all day at work! Good for you buying maternity pants though! It's worth it to be as comfortable as you can be!

It's SO hot here today! We haven't had weather like this in forever. It feels sooooo great!! I hope all you ladies are well!

 

[nypage1981]

CharChar- yes they can do some testing on your ovarian reserve. I am not sure all the details of this, but do think its something a FS does? Try googling that and yes there is a way to see how good/many eggs youve got. And your hormone levels.

Rosa- sorry about the stupid witch. I am glad you went to FS. Forget about hurting doc's feelings right now. I just want you to get some answers, and get a bfp. So I am really glad you will be going to speak with a FS soon. Maybe you will get a BFP the morning of your appointment like i've read of a girl on here doing. She woke up to go to FS and got her bfp when she tested "just to make sure." Nice story huh! Editing- I didnt mean glad you went to FS. I meant glad you made appt with FS, I know you didn't go yet.

Kiki- So, if your one tube got damaged too much, IVF can still be done, right? Are they thinking the medical risk is pretty great? I would just think to make sure that they aren't worried about permanent infertility by trying naturally for a while. YOu wouldn't want to look back and wish you did it. How old are you btw? I've never known!
And im jealous of your hot weather. We are not getting a spring here apparently and its maybe going to snow tonight again? WTH?

Love- glad the pain was nothing to worry about. Did they do a scan then or how did they determine that all is ok? I am feeling crampy also and have been worried today about it but my coworkers say that is fine. They aren't bad cramps, less than AF, but feel dull like AF. I hope its bean just having a growth spurt. His heartbeat still sounds good so IDK?

Dee- are you old enough for menopause? I didnt think so! Or are you joking?

Jealous of Ready in Aruba. Sigh!

 

[loveinbinary]

Dee- oh hush it!! You are too that lovely!! It doesn't matter (at least in my opinion and I'm sure the ladies here will agree) whether or not you have no children, two or twelve. What you do or don't have has no affect on how much you want a (or in this case another) child, and I don't see why it should. I can understand completely the desire to share a child with this man you love so dearly, it's the same desire that is driving all of us to have children. We have found a man who means the world to us and want nothing more than to have a child that is a piece of us both. I agree with ny, you certainly can't be old enough for menopause yet. Unfortunately for me the women in my family start young and finish young. My oldest sister is nearly 38 and she's already started showing signs of menopause, has been for a while now.

Ny- I was kind of hoping for a scan but no luck there . The doctor did an internal exam, said my cervix was way high, long and very closed which is all good. He poked and prodded around, feeling for this and that. He didn't seem too concerned after his examination. Crampy feelings are pretty normal. Everything is still stretching out in there so I wouldn't worry too much. I was just concerned because this wasn't normal for me and it just didn't feel right.

 

[Deethehippy]

I am 37 Love so it wouldnt be impossible for my body to be starting menopause! although none of my family were early as far as i know...

 

[Kiki0522]

Ny- yes ivf can still be done with a damaged tube. My doctor would actually take out my remaining tube because it's actually better with no tubes to have ivf. You can still have an ectopic with ivf if the egg travels out of the uterus after they put it in there. I am 28. My dh is 28 as well so we aren't getting any younger! Haha.

Have a great day everyone! It's another warm day here today but I think it's supposed to rain and have thunderstorms. Yuck.

 

[nypage1981]

Hahahahaa its 1 degree here. Supposed to be spring time this is crazy. Ready is making me more jealous now!

 

[ready4baby]

HELLO ladies!! I'm baaaaack...although honestly I wish I wasn't! It was FAN-TASTIC. Beautiful green clear water, calm as a pool, warm & humid weather...ahhhh... When I get myself situated, I'll post a pic. It was too short, but it was a great break for both of us. Had tons of drinks and food and relaxation

It was nice to catch up on all of you girls... Ny, sorry to make you jealous! And your daughter will come around…it takes a lot of over the top enthusiasm and spinning the positive things for kids that age to get it…eventually she’ll feed off your excitement for her being the big sister.

Rosa, how was your vaca? Was it awesome? I’m so sorry about AF But yay for the RE! I have my appointment too, next week, and I’m kinda nervous about it…haven’t actually told DH yet. Am I ashamed? Maybe. I know he’d probably be okay just going with the flow for awhile longer.

Kiki, how are you doing?? Any symptoms this month? You & I are the same dpo, I think. FF and I are arm wrestling over this cycle--I say 7dpo, it says 10dpo. The last day or two I have felt wicked warm and, sure enough, my temp was super high this morning (no I did NOT temp or worry or obsess about ttc while I was on vacation)! My temp hasn't actually been this high since the last two conception cycles, so at least I have a nice strong hormonal situation going on.

to all! Where's EJW? Wasn't there an appointment coming up?...

 

[nypage1981]

Ooooh did you get a tan!?

 

[ready4baby]

Ooooh did you get a tan!?

We got a lot of sun...I'm pretty fair skinned, so I like to burn more than tan, but I definately have some color! It's probably a blessing that we had high clouds a couple of days we were there otherwise I would truly be scorched. The sun is so intense down there!

 

[nypage1981]

Did you do any special activities? Horseback on the beach, parasailing, ocean fishing....etc.

 

[rosababy]

READYYYYY!!!! We missed you! When is your RE appt? I didn't know you scheduled one...Mine is May 18. I was so happy to get in that early! Is your dh going with you? Probably not since you haven't told him yet. I was a little apprehensive about telling my dh, too, but I was like it's just a consultation, and might as well get the ball rolling. He's going with me, so I'm so thankful.

I'm so jealous that you had a beautiful vacay in a cool place! Florida is not quite as cool as Aruba, but it was also a nice time. Sunny, hot, a pool...we should have gone to a beach town, but that's okay. We still had fun. Yes, cd2 for me. Oh well, life goes on.

 

[ready4baby]

Did you do any special activities? Horseback on the beach, parasailing, ocean fishing....etc.

We had 3 full days and two partials, and mostly we laid on the beach and bobbed in the ocean--there were hardly any waves at all and it was warm enough to feel comfy in the water. Not so up here in new england! Hung out at the pool, dressed up for dinner each night...jacuzzi in our room... One day, though, we rented a car and drove around the island. Very desert like, tons of goats, wild crazy ocean on the opposite side of the island. We did go snorkeling in this pretty little bay down south... And did a ton of shopping in town. It was great! And I am so hating being back at work...

 

[loveinbinary]

Ready- sounds like you had an amazing time, I'm so jealous. I want a vacation!! There's no need to be ashamed of your appointment, though I can see why you haven't told dh yet. Men generally don't understand how hard it is on us. They aren't the ones on this huge emotional rollercoaster so it's easy for them to just "go with it"'a while longer. I'm excited for your temps! Watch it be just one of those things where you get your bfp before your appointment and the cycle before you start clomid. That's how it generally seems to go. When are you planning to test?

 

[ready4baby]

ROSA! I'm so sorry about AF...glad that you had a wonderful trip though! Isn't it great to get away, even if it's for a few days?? My appointment is actually on Monday already. I need to get my records sent over to the new doc. I guess my thinking is that I should find out why my cycles are wacked, even if I do start clomid in a week or two.

Love, thank you...I will probably tell DH tonight and see how he takes it. I already told him about the clomid. I'm not sure about testing. If I go by my instinct, I'm 7dpo, so sometime mid next week? It depends, as always, on how my temps look. If they stay this high, I will be happy...

 

[Deethehippy]

Glad you had a great time Ready - sounds awesome! - i could do with a lovely holiday like that myself (we brought a house a year ago so have not had enough money or time for holidays yet!)
Good luck when you decide to test, high temps sounds very good

My agnus castus turned up so i took my first tablet tonight, hopefully it may help me in some way :0)

 

[rosababy]

So, af came yesterday, and is basically gone today. What does that mean? My period was really short last clomid cycle too. Usually it's 3 days or so, and now it's 1.5 days...and mostly brown. Is that a bad thing??
