TTC buddy?!

[AMN21]

Sounds good TTCBean! Hard choice as to listen to DH or RE. Me, I would go with the RE but my DH would just go along with my RE too. I thought all fertility clinics were open 7 days a week as we can never guess how our cycle are going to go. Mine is open all week. Hopefully you will have it all worked out to where if CD3 is a Sunday you will have everything all set. I would get the Clomid early if possible to have just incase!

AFM- I had a great weekend with DH! Been kind of emotional though, I busted out in tears to DH after my boss called me to clear up what days I needed to come in late or needed off for my doc appts (she knows what we are doing) and she kind of gave me shit about it, like making me feel bad. DH was like " That job isn't worth the stress, so if she wants to let you go eventually , oh well. Our baby is more important!" He makes me so happy. I felt much better after talking to him. He is the breadwinner anyways, I took the job for some extra money for us to have and to keep me occupied while TTC but sometimes I regret taking the job. I love it, but I love the thought of a baby more! So if I gotta be at my docs, well I'm going to be there! We are paying out of pocket for most of it anyways! UGH, sorry rant over. Today I take my 4th shot, no side effects really, bloated and a little crampy, thats about it. I go back tomorrow morning to check my follies! Praying I get good news and the Follistim is working as it should! Really hoping for Friday and Saturday to be IUI days!! Keep praying for me girls, as I will do the same for you!!!

I am glad you had a nice weekend with your DH. He sure sounds sweet It's always great to have loving understanding and support from spouses. That is really too bad about your boss, it's none of her business and shouldn't be giving you a hard time. Baby is more important, so good luck with your decision if you choose to give up your job! Praying for you, you're always in my thoughts!

I discussed it with my DH further and we came to the agreement that I should start Provera. I took my first dose. I am excited! At the back of my mind though I keep wondering, "What if I am pregnant and the blood results we're false?" I sure hope I wouldn't cause damage to the child if that's the case. I keep having "symptoms" and the high temps. lol I always go nutso with symptom spotting. It's all just hormones from no-AF I am sure.

The doctor called me back! He said he is going to wait to see DH S/A results and the rest of my blood work results, and if that's all good to go, he'll send in a prescription of Clomid to my pharmacy! So I can have it on hand just in case CD3 lands on the weekend. It really sucks they aren't open on the weekend like your clinic AMN! I am feeling a little relieved overall though.

Thats great news TTTCBean! I'm excited for you to start this next chapter in your journey! I'd say your pretty safe if your beta was neg. Thats strange that you keep getting high temps though! Hope your DH's SA is good! Glad you get the Clomid early!

 

[TTCBean]

Thanks AMN! You're great

I think the Provera is working already. I have been experiencing cramping since I took it! Even though cramping SUCKS, I am excited!

 

[AMN21]

Good TTCBean! Hope AF is on its way finally for you!

AFM- Went to my RE today to check my follies. In my right ovary I have 1 at 10mm, 1 at 11mm and 1 at 12mm and 8 or so less than 10mm My RE is happy with the group growing in there. I'm still waiting on their call about my labs to see if they need to tweak my dose of Follistim at all. I go back Thursday, hopefully they will tell me to trigger that night and go in for the IUIs Friday and Saturday!

 

[AMN21]

Well I just got off the phone with my nurse, they want to bump my Follistim up to 150iu tonight and tomorrow and she said we'll see where I am at Thursday. She said she thinks more than likely I'll need a couple more days on the Follistim so maybe Sunday and Monday IUIs for me?? Idk guess we'll see what happens Thursday! Can't wait!

 

[TTCBean]

Good luck AMN! Keep me updated!

All my blood work came back great, we're just waiting on DH S/A results.

The oddest thing, my body is making me bleed from the wrong end, LOL. My gums have been bleeding all day and I cannot figure out why. I have great dental health and never experienced this before. If it continues tomorrow I'll call my doctors. I wonder if it's a side effect of Provera.

 

[AMN21]

Glad to hear your bloodwork was good! Thats weird about your gums, could definitely be a side effect.

 

[Smooch]

Good luck ladies
Tht is odd with the bleeding gums...
Glad to hear blood work was good
AMN hope thursdsy brings great news.

 

[TTCBean]

The bleeding has stopped but my teeth are super sensitive this morning. I found this on webMD:

"The monthly menstrual cycle:

Due to the hormonal changes (particularly the increase in progesterone) that occur during the menstrual cycle, some women experience oral changes that can include bright red swollen gums, swollen salivary glands, development of canker sores, or bleeding gums."

So even though I cannot find this symptom when I search for Provera, it is a symptom of increased progesterone.

 

[AMN21]

Hmm interesting TTCBean, I hope that's a sign you'll be bleeding from the right place any day now I'm off to work Can't wait to see my RE again tomorrow to see what the plan is!

 

[Smooch]

See I already learned a new thing today lol
glad the bleeding stopped.

 

[AMN21]

Why is it the days I am at work, everyone here including clients want to chat about their pregnancy and babies!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[TTCBean]

Sorry to hear! I can relate. Ugh, two more people on my FB announced pregnancies! The person from two weeks ago (oopsie after dating only 2 or so months), posted their scan... ugh I am so sad!

 

[AMN21]

Soon it will be our turn! My freakin head is killin me! These headaches are horrible! It's a side effect of both the Metformin and Follistim! UGH BFP THIS CYCLE PLEEEEEEEASE!!!

 

[TTCBean]

I hope you feel better today AMN!!!

I feel absolutely depressed today, I just want to crawl on the couch and wither away. Ugh! I woke up to a million Mother's day e-mails from various companies. Friends and family will be celebrating Mother's day with their wee ones... I know when we go visit my DH family on MD we'll be asked about children just as much as last year. Last night I randomly put on an episode of Fraiser on Netflix, and it was an episode about Roz getting pregnant!! Then it went on to be mushy how some life form is going to call out to her as "mommy". UGH. Sorry for the rant and being a downer, today just sucks for me! and this rainy weather isn't helping at all!

 

[TTCBean]

DH S/A results are normal and so are the rest of the tests for me we were waiting on!

Now just to hear back from the doctor about my Clomid prescription...

 

[Smooch]

Glad the results are normal. So sorry for how your feeling
Totally understandable tho. Don't worry about the rant..its what we are here for
Keeping everything crossed for you hun.
and yes this weather is yuck! Try and take the day to just not think about it..lol hard I know.
grab an un related TTC/or mom type book..curl up on the couch.that's what I'd be doing if I didn't have to workout and clean b4 work lol.

 

[AMN21]

TTCBean, I have those days too! And glad DH's SA is normal! I agree with Smooch, do somethin non TTC related.

AFM- I went in for my CD 9 scan and b/w. My leading follie is 15mm and one behind it is 12mm. My lining was 8.1 I am to up my dose of follistim to 225iu tonight and tomorrow then go back Saturday to check and I should be triggering Sat night then IUIs Sunday and Monday! After today I'm off work for 4 days!

 

[Smooch]
