TTC buddy?!

[AMN21]

Nope never been there. I am very much looking forward to going to the apple orchards here though! We are going to Applefest the weekend of Oct 6th at one of our orchards here, its a lot of fun for families. I am very much looking forward to cider and apple pie! Lol...we like to pick apples from the trees but I guess the apple trees didn't do so well this year because we had such a mild winter and hott spring/summer, so I'm not sure if they'll have any to pick

Anyways, waiting on that positive, will see what tomorrow brings

 

[AMN21]

Sooooo no positive OPT yet...and its CD23 WHAT THE HELL!!!
I've had quite a few that were close and I would swear that the next one would be positive but nope. I am almost out of opts! I'm frustrated and debating on weather or not to even chart or take these anymore. I know I just started it all up again but now I remember why I took a break. Plus with school and work, I don't need extra things to put on my mind. IDk, I'm annoyed with it! lol

 

[AMN21]

How do you explain this?????

Isn't the line supposed to be super faint to almost non visible at some point in your cycle? Mine starts at CD9 to today CD24! And still no positive yet!! Its sooo late in my cycle to be Oing. I have no clue if my cycle is going to be long, or if I am ever going to ovulate...I'm over it!

 

[TTCBean]

AMN, I didn't ovulate until CD24 my last cycle! My last cycle was the same with the opks, pretty visible since pretty early on but not quite positive. I thought it was hopeless, but then I got my positive opk and then magically positive hpt! Hope that gives you some hope just hang in there, any day now it should happen!! GL!

Oh and no spotting or cramping for 3 days now! I am so happy it stopped. I am home now and going to schedule a follow up with my obgyn tomorrow morning, they called this week wanting to see me. I can't believe I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow!

 

[AMN21]

Thanks TTCBean! I feel a little better now! I'm so glad that your bleeding and cramping has stopped! Did you have fun in Florida?? I seen all your pics on instagram Your gonna be so cute with a bump! I think you will be all belly cause your so tiny! hehe. Hope everything goes ok when you go to the doctors! I'll be praying

 

[Smooch]

I can understand why you would be so frustrated AMN...that's a whole lot of opks!
The things us women put ourselves thru for this is bananas

That's great about the cramping and bleeding stopped! Yep 8 weeks! Yay!
Hope your vacation was a blast!

I'm doing well... waiting on some nursery items to be delivered ...going up north with a friend Thia weekend..she's prego too...should be fun. other than that same same..been feeling pretty good....back and hip pain but meh...I can handle it.....all worth it

 

[AMN21]

Still no positive yet...and its still close...ahhhhhhh! I only have like 3 opts left...so after that guess I will just have to wait and see when AF arrives

Smooch your trip up north sounds fun

 

[TTCBean]

I had loads of fun in FL... when I didn't have m/s! haha! It started being really bad about 3 days before we left and practically stayed the whole time. Now that I am home I don't have it anymore, funny how that worked out I liked it though, because to me that means baby is still alive and well!

It's crazy how much I am craving dairy products! Ice cream, whole milk, cheeses, etc. I'm guessing baby is letting me know I need more calcium! I usually don't drink milk, but the other day I had 3 big glasses in a row, LOL.

I see my obgyn on Thursday at noon. Cannot wait, I believe they'll do a quick scan to make sure everything is still OK from last weekend. I had an appt. with a midwife today but I cancelled and will reschedule, once I get an OK from the doc I'll feel better about the whole home birth/midwife thing.

Have fun on your trip Smooch Where up north are you headed? DH family has a cabin in Paradise in the U.P. I love Lake Superior... even though it's always so cold, lol.

Good luck AMN, hope you get a positive before you run out of OPKs!

 

[Smooch]

Happy you had fun TTCBean and glad u had m/s lol good sign
that's exactly where I'm going lol paradise MI....figured has to be a good time of it's called paradise haha. Looking toward to it. Can't wait to hear good things from your appt my next appt is Oct 2 just a routine one....this Friday is my v day..yay!!

 

[AMN21]

I don't think I will be getting that pos opt..only have 1 left which I will do when I get off work. Ah well..I'm not stressing over it anymore! I really want to get a CBFM but I just don't have the extra money right now, they are kinda expensive! Hopefully I can get one soon!

TTCBean, yay for the doc appt. and m/s I can't wait to hear an update!

Smooch, I had to look up what v day meant lmao. Yay for v day!!

 

[Smooch]

AMN that is so damn frustrating :/ ...and I had to look up v day awhile back too lollipop

 

[AMN21]

It is frustrating. I don't even know if I will O this cycle...it's been close positives the whole damn cycle it seems! We'll see when AF decides to show.

Well I am off to school, hope you girls are well

 

[TTCBean]

What a stupid appointment! The doctor at the ER wanted a follow-up, this definitely wasn't. I even told the nurse he wanted another beta, etc. Basically I just told my life history, did loads of blood work, and now wait around for two weeks until I see an actual doctor. The nurse didn't believe my due date based off the u/s at the ER. She changed my due date on my chart to April 27, based on my last period date. I told her it's incorrect as I used OPK and BBT and the u/s said the same thing I predicted. This all confirms why I want a natural, home birth. All this medical intervention seems so over done. I basically got bombarded with information about Similac formula and coupons, free offers, blah blah. I got nowhere and feeling deflated. I asked about an u/s to confirm baby is still well, and she hit her hand on the table and said "That just cannot be done! You need a real medical reason!" Uhh! Hello? I bled for a week. I asked her if I am paying for it, why does it matter. She didn't answer me, just said the same bs over again. So no u/s, no beta, didn't get anywhere. How cruddy! I was going to tell my Grandma tomorrow for her birthday I was pregnant, but now I am not sure.

I mean, I feel pregnant still. Nausea, sore boobs, food aversions, fatigue. I have no reason to doubt bean isn't well, I just wanted reassurance. I really thought this "follow up" would actually FOLLOW up.

 

[AMN21]

Aww TTCBean that's shitty! Excuse my language but it seems fitting. What a rotten lady. So when will you see your OB again? I hope soon so you can get some comfort. Have you called your OB office and told them about the bleeding and expressed your concern about everything? You would think they would get you in to put your mind at ease.

 

[Smooch]

That's beyond messed up!!! :/ I'd be pissed.
I'd call ur ob/midwife just to put your mind at ease... 2 weeks seems long to wait after what u been thru. And with all ur symptoms ..sounds like baby is all good..but would be nice for that extra reassurance.

 

[TTCBean]

The nurse I saw works with my obgyn and the midwife I saw before at the same practice. They are supposed to be on the same page, ugh. I see the ob in 2 weeks from now. The thing I don't understand is the midwife at the practice called me saying she'd like a follow up with me, so when I called and scheduled I got this nurse instead, I didn't realize this appointment wouldn't get me anywhere. This is a rotten situation!

Even though the bleeding and cramping stopped, you would still think a follow up would include a scan and blood test to check levels. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I kept asking if the appointment was the follow up from the ER, she kept saying yes...

 

[AMN21]

Well just try to relax and take it easy and get through these 2 weeks. I'll be thinking about you and baby! Hope your next appointment is much better!!

 

[AMN21]

Idk if I ever mentioned my insurance situation to you girls, I'm too lazy to scroll back through the pages lol. So if I am repeating myself, I'm sorry! But we have BCBS of New Jersey. DH's job is head quartered there. NJ is a mandated state for fertility coverage, something I have recently found out. So I've been looking into if we could get any coverage. Well today I sent an e-mail to the financial girl at my fertility clinic. I looked on my insurance's website BCBS of NJ and found the authorization form I need for fertility coverage. I attached it to the e-mail so she could see it. It has to be filled out by my FS then sent to my insurance for approval. So I am praying there is a chance for us to get coverage! We would love to go right to IVF! Gosh it would be amazing if they would cover it!!! We'll see what happens. FXed!

 

[TTCBean]

Thanks AMN!

Wow that's amazing, I really hope it works out! That would be awesome!

 

[TTCBean]

I told my Mom and Grandma this morning, I feel so weird! My Mom's first question was "Where do you think baby was conceived?" LOL what a funny question to answer... I told them both not to tell people until I do so myself personally. It's going to be so hard for them, especially my Mom, she is the biggest blabber mouth on the planet, lol. Yikes, now that I told them everything has to go smooth from here! Nervous ball.
