<--is here and she ain't playin. i am glad and getting on with scheduling SA for him and HSG and saline sonogram for me. my cycles tend to be pretty long but maybe by some miracle, i will eventually end up in the 2ww with some of you

 

[bakingbabe]

Sorry for the horsey but happy that testing can now begin!

 

[AuCa]

Plans! I love having clear plans in place FX'd!

 

[luna_19]

well HSG results were fine, the doctor that did it was just a dink and made me worry for an entire week

come on post HSG bfp!

 

[AuCa]

Got all my fingers crossed for you Luna!

I'm still frustrated..still haven't heard from DH's doc and still no news re my cycle. And another pregnancy announcement from one of our friends' today (it's their second). Moreover we have to plan our trip to visit my brother in law and wife this weekend, to see their 2month old son.
It's funny, but my mood goes from being happy for them to being super annoyed and frustrated, depending on the day/week/month.

 

[horseypants]

Whew, Luna - thank goodness! Come on bfp

AuCa, hang in there. Frankly, I don't envy you and am avoiding doing certain activities myself. I skipped a party and a baby shower in the past couple weeks. It just takes a lot of strength. Sending you some. xo

Luna that's great news, hopefully this will be your cycle Hun!

Auca I hope you get your test results soon, the waiting is just awful. It seems I am surrounded by pregnancy and babies too and it does make it difficult x

Horsey sorry about af

Lily, you go girl!! What a conception story that would make!!!

Hi to you other girls! I hope everyone has had a good week...

Afm...dh provided his sa sample yesterday, and he was told results in 1-3 business days, so I'm hoping that we get them next week. I'm a bit annoyed my Gyno won't look at me until April, because that's when it's been officially 12 months of real trying. I'm in cycle 12 now of really trying and I'm getting impatient to have to wait another three months before even being referred....ESP given the fs often have long wait times too. If the sa is fine, I think it might be time to find a new doc!!!

Have a great weekend girls, it's Australia Day today which means a long weekend, not that it really matters given I'm not working at the moment lol

Everything crossed for you eggy chasers!!!

 

[luna_19]

Great news he finally did the SA newbie!
It's frustrating that your doctor won't even do the basic testing now. Mine at least started just in time for me to end up at the specialist at 1 year, maybe a different doctor will be more willing to help

 

[horseypants]

Newbie, yay for the SA and boo for the waiting. I think you and luna have a good idea with switching docs. I did that after some hesitation in the midst of a loss last year and I'm so glad I did. My new doctor is great and has made all the difference as far as me being able to feel like someone's got my best interests in mind. I say go for it and make a switch.

I scheduled my HSG for next Fri. Whew. I am still a little scared, but it will be such a relief when it is over and the verdict is in.

 

[luna_19]

good luck with the HSG! It's really not so bad, did you read the thing I wrote about mine in my journal?

 

[horseypants]

Thanks Luna, yeah, I read a few things . OH was maybe going to go, the doc kept you waiting on results and now you got 'em, A+ tubes What did I miss though? I don't remember you describing the actual procedure. I just caught the pic of you doing yoga. Wow lady, I'm impressed too . You are in great shape!

 

[AuCa]

Newbie - great news that your DH complied finally! I guess we'll get our results around the same time. A new doc also seems like a really good idea

Horseypants - nice that you have your HSG scheduled. I would be pretty nervous as well (haven't had one yet), but in the end we do it for a good reason.

 

[luna_19]

Thanks Luna, yeah, I read a few things . OH was maybe going to go, the doc kept you waiting on results and now you got 'em, A+ tubes What did I miss though?

there is a full description from start to finish in a spoiler on page 58

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks girls, yeah after we get the results I think I'll change docs. The last thing i need is more frustration and if I can speed things up that might help!!!

Good luck with the hsg horsey...

Hopefully this week brings good results auca!!

Hi ladies,

I'm glad to see that most of you are making process down the path of pregnancy. It's encouraging to see that the doctors will eventually help!

I've been thinking about going to an obgyn. I've only talked to GP's about TTC'ing and got no support. Both said "you're fine, you're young enough! Don't worry about your PCOS diagnose, just relax and have fun trying. Only start worrying if it takes you more than 1 year..."

I know I've been off BCP for 6 months only and that it takes awhile for the body to get rid of it, but the PCOS worries me and I just wanted to learn more about where my body is at right now....

What would you ladies do? Wait another 6 months or see the obgyn now?

Thanks SO much!

 

[luna_19]

Based on your two previous charts it seems like you are ovulating and have pretty regular cycles so it makes sense that your doctor would say everything is fine. Sometimes it just takes a while, I think heading to the doc at around the 9 or 10 month mark is a good thing since testing takes a few months.

 

[bakingbabe]

I agree with Luna. I went to the ob/gyn at 9 month mark and eventually made it to the specialist at the one yr mark.

 

[bakingbabe]

Newbie, glad to hear DH did his sa! Fingers crossed that everything is good. And I changed docs midway through this process - you have to be your own advocate!
Auca, hope you hear news soon too!

Horsey, good luck on the hsg! In retrospect, it's not terribly bad it's just not pleasant if they put the dye in too quickly or your tube is blocked. And it really only last 10 min or less.
