Hi ladies! Have had a rough/long/busy week, so catching up…
Ksluice – wow, I can’t believe how many eggs you had!!!
That is awesome – keeping everything crossed for you
Treegap – welcome to you! OPK’s should be done after 10 or 11am. Just bring ‘em & do it at lunch. You may be one of those people who gets +opk 2-3 days in a row, or you may be like me & LH surges for maybe 2-6 hrs & its sheer luck if I catch it each month (I have to test 2-3x/day when all other signs are imminent – hence, importance of charting!
)
Dashka – been checking on your chart along w/Dwrgi’s! So glad tests are all done & RE follow-up scheduled!
Hoping upon hope you get some answers!!!
Anytime you need a good swift kick in the bum, I’m here!
Janey – 3.6 is very low. You may not have o’d (or you may have progesterone deficiency?), but your Dr should have commented. Anyway, yes, we have discovered that you can get +opk actually not O, so the only way you’ll be able to tell if you O is via charting/temping (sustained shift) &/or bloods (unless you happen to have an u/s around!). As far as alcohol, we’ve had that discussion a couple of times & the studies on low/moderate consumption don't seem to be conclusive, only heavy drinking. Some studies have suggested that drinking around conception is actually worse than drinking in 2WW, as in 2WW egg lives off sac & even within a few days of implantation, until a placenta actually forms, the sac doesn’t get nourishment from mom. Then there are those who get pregs when they are partying it up? Its confusing, so maybe try to cut down to low/moderate consumption & play it safe around conception/2WW? I think if I totally cut out drinking over the last 1yr 8mos "in hopes of" maybe conceiving, I would be posting from the local funny farm by now, as I would have lost it! (&become very bitter) As far as clomid, I don’t see the problem with them putting you on that even if overweight, but for ART I can imagine they’d highly recommend losing the weight, but not sure they’d turn you away?
Fro – will do, thanks! I ended up getting it filled already bc my schedules so ridiculous, so when it calms down we’ll schedule a meet
Hoping we dodge the hurricanes this year too!
Purps – hope you are catching up on some
!!! Maybe a “lie-in” day would be perfect for you! Thanks for Never news – yay!
Tiger -
on chasing pigeons when
Good luck w/the meds!!!
Nessaw – Oh, have fun on your mini-trek around the UK! Its beautiful there…
BDown –We’ve have been there or are all presently there in your frustration. Try not to let it ruin your relationship, though. I have had the talks w/my DH & he is only willing to do IUI, as well & understandably so. He could go either way, so asking him to take out a 2nd mortgage just for the “chance” to “maybe” have a
is a lot. Or perhaps they just need to take baby steps & we have to respect that & try to talk to them lovingly, openly & honestly. It’s a really touchy subject. GL with your new protocol! Hope the tests solves the puzzle for you - GL
Flutter – I wouldn’t wait on SA, either. If its him you would waste 6 months & perhaps some good eggs – they dwindle fast at our age…
Pad – yes, you must go to Glastonbury – stay a couple days
. Drink the healing waters… I don’t think your eggies have disappeared, there lady! You’ve just started back into this & have been under some serious stress
. Have you O’d? (your chart is not very stalkable at the mo…
Just wondering, worse comes to worst, can you just take some drugs to drop a bunch of eggs & then chances are one would by pink? If the blue ones would be absorbed, I’m just thinking out loud I’ll shut-up now...
Owl – get to it, girl! FX!
Mirium – Oh!
Don’t worry, I thought I was on CD7 & I’m on CD12
! I kept ignoring my chart too bc it feels like forever before I O, then all of a sudden its like CD11/12 & realize its time to start O supps/gf juice & POAS (opk). You too there young lady! FX you won’t need the lap!
HTJ – oh honey
. So sorry you are going thru this. But, I am glad you cried during reiki massage. People have cried, broken out in laughter, puked, broke out in sweats, got chills, etc during reiki many times – it’s a cleansing process so if you are holding something negative in there, it need to come out. (I puked during for an entire day in my Karuna reiki class!)
LadyH – flying blind this month, huh?
Don’t give up, honey. I’m at 1yr 8 months too…
everyone else!
No time to write now as I’m off to girls’ weekend. Dwrgi, I wish you could join me
Much luvs & hugs to all!
!!!!
I know it must be even harder for you because you've done more treatments without luck.... But somehow, someway I know you are gonna make a great MAMA to a very wonderful child.
... the kind that makes you scream and then sobbing and sobbing for half and hour after I woke up... I was having trouble falling asleep because of bad thunderstorm didn't fall asleep until 3AM and when I did - the worst nightmare ever.... I am even having trouble repeating it -haven't even told DH what it was about yet -as so hard to repeat.... The dream took place at night and I went back to get AD in the car- car was bouncing up/down -thought she had gotten out of her car seat somehow and to my shock and horror - I found my little AD being RAPED by a stranger in the back of our mini-van - and her body was LIFELESS - I screamed and woke up right away and sobbed and sobbed and actually I am sobbing right now typing it all out.... it was horrible -couldn't close my eyes again because would see it over and over in my mind...
on Friday morning!!
should be here later today... She didn't even give me a chance to test. HOW ARE MY CYCLES GETTING SHORTER??
