TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[babylights]

Ugh I'm so sorry tb!! One of these days, everything is going to work out for all of us juuuuuust so, and we will marvel at how everything happened exactly as it should for us to finally get our babes, I'm sure of it. I hope your surgery goes well and your test results get you one step closer to a bfp!

You should def start a journal too, it's so nice to also get feedback and encouragement along the way. I think I'll probably wait until our appointment on the 28th to see if/when we definitely start ivf. Let us know if you start one, I wanna follow!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Sorry TB, you must be feeling so frustrated.

You should definitely start a journal Babylights, I'll be there as your cheerleader! I started one a few weeks back and I quite enjoy it! Sometimes I feel like I don't want to moan too much on some threads, but on my own I can rant as much as I like!

 

[SunnyBe]

Ughh tb, that's so typical. It sometimes feels as if our bodies are working against us, not with. The only positive here is that you did/will ovulate on your own this cycle so at least that is something. Good luck with the surgery on Wednesday!

Just found your journal Steph. I'll be stalking

I got EWCM yesterday Got it only once after stopping the pill > 7 months ago (cycle immediately after I stopped). It was just so damn stretchy lol Just got a + OPK today so it looks like the lonnnggg wait until O is finally over.

 

[steph1607]

Yay Sunny! I love a happy CM story! Can't say I've ever had it so I can't imagine what it's like but I did google it once 😂

 

[tbfromlv]

Babylights- Thank you- I needed that. I guess sometimes in the midst of all the frustration and heartache, we need the reminder to just breathe and things WILL work out. Is your appointment the 28th of this month?

Sunny! That is great news! AHH Good luck!!!! We would totally be cycle buddies if I wasn't going in Wednesday. Get your BD on!!

I got EWCM yesterday and a positive OPK today. I had to let myself laugh today because this OPK was the clearest most blazing positive I ever had. Go figure. But YES at least I know my body is up for the challenge so I feel good about my next cycle!

 

[babylights]

LOL steph!! Also will be stalking your journal!

Sunny yay for ewcm! There's something about seeing that stretchy goop that just puts you in a good mood 🤣

tb that's such great news that your body is definitely doing all the right things! Blazing opk's make me so so happy too 👍

I took my first Femara dosage last night and scheduled my HSG for this Friday! My dr. said she had trouble conceiving one of her children and after failed Clomid cycles got pregnant her first Femara cycle, so hopefully the Femara plus flushing everything out with the HSG does the trick. Then my follicle check early next week, quickly followed by our first in-person IVF consult also next week. We're moving forward!

 

[tbfromlv]

Babylights- That is great! I've heard similar stories about failed Clomid but then successful Femara. I am really hoping that is the case with you! One of my friends had the HSG done and said she was surprised at the nausea it caused. Just a heads up if the doctor didn't mention it. I'm having something similar done during the lap. My doctor said that sometimes the tubes could just be "gunked up" with mucus and the dye will flush it right out! Who knew? I'm excited for you this cycle!

 

[babylights]

tb I'm so excited for you too! Hopefully we'll be all flushed out and ready to be knocked up! Thanks for the heads-up on the nausea - my dr. did repeat the cramping warning three times but nothing about nausea. How are you feeling ahead of your surgery? I hope you have a nice time of relaxation and recovery planned for afterward!! I have such high hopes for you, it's so great that all your tests came back normal so your surgery is hopefully just what you need. Did you ever find more info on the test results you had questions about?

 

[steph1607]

For my HSG I had cramping immediately during and then on and off (very mild) for a few days after. No nausea though thankfully

 

[steph1607]

And yes, stalk away everyone!!

Or join in!

 

[tbfromlv]

Oh- maybe nausea isnt that common!

As for the surgery- I am nervous! But mostly just anxious. Anxious to get it over with, anxious to find out what she says after, anxious to start my next cycle with clomid.. ah!
I am a teacher so I am off work right now, which is nice! So I would love to go back to school knocked up! Lol! But hubby took wed and thurs off to help me out, in case I need it. I am grateful that it is a VERY SHORT recovery time.

The test results have not come in yet. The hospital system I have has an online portal with all my appointment info, test results, ect and I can email my doctor from it too. Every day I re-load the page waiting.. I am being patient, right? haha

-Steph, I'm stalking too lol

 

[AmberR]

Yay for EWCM Sunny and tb! Hope you have a very speedy recovery from the surgery tb!

 

[SunnyBe]

Good luck today tb! I wonder if the doctors are able to see the ovulated follicle. Will you just wait for AF and start Clomid after? Or is there still a chance of pregnancy even after having had the procedure this cycle?

Anything new with you Amber? Not temping this cycle? You're probably approaching O-day soon. Better get busy

Steph, your journal is really interesting. I now feel like I almost know you personally lol. I can't wait to follow your journal all the way throughout your future pregnancy. Hopefully sooner than later

How is Femara treating you babylights? Any horrible side effects? Seems like everything is moving along nicely and you'll get that BFP in no time.

I just realized that this is going to be my last chance of getting pregnant before turning 30 next month. Scary!!!

 

[babylights]

Good luck today tb!! Sending you so much love ❤️

Sunny look at that temp rise, hubba hubba! You're 1DPO, happy TWW friend! Femara so far has been worse for me, I had a blinding migraine all day yesterday so I'm hoping it was a one-day-only thing. The only thing that gave me relief was ice cream, and I mean, who am I to argue with cold, hard science?

 

[steph1607]

Okay, I'm going to start temping because I'm so jealous of all your groovy charts! I have a BBT so I just need to get the app or whatever now right?

Ah thanks Sunny, I write essays on there so thanks for sticking with it! Happy TWW

Hope everything's going okay for you today TB

Babylights, you shovel that ice cream down your throat like there's no tomorrow!

 

[babylights]

steph ahahaha you're the BEST! and yes! Get the Fertility Friend app and you're good to go!

 

[SunnyBe]

Sorry to hear about the migraines on Femara babylights, but glad you could self-medicate with ice cream

Steph, yes the Fertility Friend app is pretty much all you need! If you want to share it as a thumbnail, you can add the link of your chart to your forum signature. I bet you're going to love charting as it'll tell you if, and more importantly... when, you O'd long before you get the results of your blood draw.

 

[steph1607]

Okay I've downloaded the app- I just add the link in the signature and then my chart will show?

 

[steph1607]

Okay no this isn't right!

 

[babylights]

I think you have to go to FF's website and once you log in you can rummage around to find a link for a thumbnail of your chart that you can embed into your signature.
