Tubal Reversal ladies, just moved from WTT!!!

[~Brandy~]

Angie- Thanks! Kick back and take it easy. I am just glad you will start getting a little more care. Once I had TTC'd so long and then after a loss I almost tried to remove the feelings from it if that makes any sense. It was almost business like and not worth getting excited. Atleast for me thats how it was because I was afraid of getting hurt over and over. I didn't get crazy sentimental about these girls until about 8-9 weeks because of the fright. This last scare had me curled up in a ball crying my eyes out in a hospital room for 3 days.

Faith- Good luck with your art in AZ! I hope you strike it rich

Need to find follistim pen. Anyone know where I could get one?

 

[Navygrrl]

FHL - We'll be staying at Port Orleans, Riverside. We thought about staying off-site, but since this is our first trip, we wanted to be on-site and get the full experience. Next time we go, we might stay off-site so we can get two adjoining rooms instead of all of us in one. My DH is so excited about going. He's so much more excited than the kids are, which I think is just endearing. He grew up in southern California, so he used to go to Disney Land all the time.

AngienDaniel - I blank out all the time. I'm also in a crappy mood, so I'm sorry if I came off as annoyed or anything. I just ate a bunch of chocolate, so hopefully that will help.

I just finished up my third cycle on clomid. I'm taking this month off, then next month my doctor has upped me to 100mg. I'm supposed to get an HSG sometime as well. If DH's SA comes back not horrendous, we will probably be looking into doing an IUI in December.

Didnt it come with your medicine when you got it? When I ordered mine they forgot the pen too so I called the doctors office and they gave me a spare one.

I would send it to you but I just donated all my leftover meds and the pen for those that couldnt afford IVF

I have one, but one should come from the place you order from. Is it Mandells Pharmacy?

Update for me

So after the cerclage and hospital stay over this last week I saw the doctors today and did some REALLLY long scans lol. The good news is the cerclage looks "perfect" according to the doctors. The babies are back up high where they should be and my cervix is completely closed and over 3CM now which is what they need to sustain a twin pregnancy. The only good thing about this whole high risk pregnancy is getting weekly pics. Todays turned out ok but they only did a 2D next week they will do another 3D they said. The girls are measuring at 17W5D which is awesome that they are a little ahead of schedule. I hope they stay that way since the doctors think they might have to take the cerclage out around week 34 and they would come right after that.

Heres my girls.. Nameless right now as hubby is so indecisive on names lol

Oh forgot to mention... I get to return to my daily activities and work for now but will be checked for issues. It's full bedrest at first sign of anything going wrong. I also have to start progesterone injections again just to be safe.

 

[momsbaby]

Brandy they are some precious girls!!

 

[AngienDaniel]

Brandy, I am glad your girls are measuring ahead of schedule. I am also glad you get to go back to work and that everything has adjusted well. Sorry about the progesterone, but that's a small price to pay. The photos are beautiful! I thought I had names picked out but I will be the one to change my mind, not the hubby. He really wants a child named after his grandfather, but not very many babies anymore are named Edward Randolph. I plan on keeping the two names and adding a very small name like Ian or Spencer for the 'first' name. His mother will spit bullets, but I don't care what she thinks.. (she hates me and it was her Father.) Must admit to a small amount of spitefulness on my part. Can't be nice all the time.
My miscarriage only lasted a very short two and a half days. I must admit to a VERY heavy flow and lots of clotting, but it didn't last long. I am going to order more pregnancy tests today to make sure my numbers are all the way down. I felt that it was sad that my flow is heavier on the months I have not been pregnant than the months I have been. Might try this month... might not. I haven't decided yet.

 

[~Brandy~]

Angie- I adore my mother in law but I am not a fan of her name. I won't say it so I don't offend anyone.. But my husband is going to incorporate her name into one of the girls names. Like I said not a fan but I know it means a lot to my husband and her. But my husband did say he would chose a first name I do like and then use hers as a middle. Compromise I guess.

 

[fluterby429]

brandy the girls look great!

Angie hang in there hun

 

[AngienDaniel]

Brandy, my mil's name is Sylvia.. If I were to use her name I think she would die. Literally. I have thought about it even though I don't care for the name. Not so as she would die, but there is a spitefulness inside me that longs to show itself. See, they have never met me, but dislike me simply because they would have preferred it if my husband had remained married to his ex. I get the stigma that is reserved for second-best, second wife.. I have never met his mom or dad... Sad, since we have been together 3 years now.. I must say that it makes me slightly bitter feeling towards their house.
Anywho... Believe it or not my ovulation tests are almost positive.. I am only cd6.. I usually o on cd13.. I ordered some pregnancy tests this morning to make sure my numbers are down. I might actually have a weird cycle this month? I talked to the hubby last night and he wants to conceive again since my appt is the 1st and I will have the extra help from now on. I don't particularly want to conceive this month, but it is up to the Man... I think my hubby just says yeah so we can have sex all day. We literally have sex all day it feels like for a week and a half or so.. At least 4 times a day... by the time my fertile period is over I feel like a porn star. I told him there's no wonder I am knocked up every month. My eggs don't get no rest from his sperm. Sometimes it's great being married to someone 7 years my junior and other times, I want to choke myself.. Keeping up with him is a full-time job...
I can't tell which side my o pain is coming from. One minute it's left, other it's right. I will be using the opks to track again this month.. If I conceive this month I will be due in July.. Mine, my brother's, my daughters, and my husband's exes daughter, all have birthdays in July. I LOVE the month of July.
I have decided that if I do conceive again I am keeping it quiet for awhile except for on the forum. I am not going to tell anyone but my hubby and son. At least to see if I can make it past 5 weeks..

I hope everyone is doing well. This month has been particularly hard for me so I am glad it is almost over.

Brandy - I'm glad the cerclage is working so well and that the girls are doing well. It must be a load off your mind.

My MIL and I have the same name (spelled differently), so if we were to have a girl, I'm totally NOT naming her after us. There's enough confusing at family gatherings as it is. If we have a boy, his middle name will be Thomas, after my dad and DH's stepdad. We actually have full names picked out already, but I don't want to jinx things, because of course I'm superstitious about silly things.

We went back for DH's SA results. His motility last year was 22%, and this time it's 66%! His counts are just barely below normal (38 million compared to 40 million and up), but his morphology is normal. He said that we have an excellent shot with IUI, since they like the post-wash count to be 5-10 million, and with his current numbers we'd get like 12 million.

Now I just need to get my HSG to make sure my tubes are open, and then we will schedule the IUI. Well, first I have to get my colposcopy/biopsy, and then hopefully that will be fine and then we can move on. DH is very happy, because he was sure that his sperm were the issue. I guess we just need to keep having fun and just hope for the best.

Navy- Those are total acceptable numbers. When you're talking about 2 million in that broad of a range I really wouldnt discount that at all. I think you have a great shot. Like someone else said on here I think (I read too many threads) it changes from one exam to the next! So just have him keep doing what he is doing and you're golden!

FX for you

Brandy- what is the name of that test that they gave you at 12 weeks and you were able to find out the gender? My friend is wanting to know.

Maternit 21 and the harmony test both can be done at 11weeks.

Hello, my name is Anne and I am new to this site and hope you don’t mind me joining this group. I am looking for some advice. Let me start by telling you a little about me.
I am 33 years old. I had my TR May 21, 2013. Since then I have tracked every period and all my ovulations. My cycles are normally 34-36days I normally OV CD20 with a LP of 15-16days. This month I received a smiley face OPK on CD25. I don’t temp so I assume I ovulated either CD26 or CD27 at the very latest. I was originally due for my period on October 17th, but I figured since I ovulated late my period would be late. I estimated earliest would have been Monday and latest would be today. As of 10:30 this morning no period and no sign the witch is coming. I generally get my period in the morning once I have been awake awhile and moving. I took a pregnancy test with first morning urine today and it was negative. Should I be concerned, should I call the OB, or should I wait it out and see? I am really afraid of an ectopic pregnancy and have heard that a Pregnancy test can show negative if it is ectopic.

Welcome! The more the merrier!! Although I hope your TTC journey is a short one we have TTC'ers as well as moms to be and current moms

I wouldnt be concerned too many things can caused a delayed period. There is still a chance you’re pregnant. I would retest again in a couple days if you haven’t started.

With an eptopic you would still get a positive test. Once you have a positive you need to follow up with the doctors to make sure your HCG is rising correctly. You can normally catch an issue if you have your HCG taken because it will be all over that’s the first sign… if you have a starting number and the next one is higher, then lower, then higher etc. That’s an immediate sign that something isn’t right.

If your #’s continue to double and you reach 1500 HCG and you have had a TR you need to get an early scan to check the placement of the baby to make sure it’s not in the tubes. 1500 HCG is the magic number as the pregnancy is far enough along to be spotted on ultrasound.

If you’re more than a couple weeks late for your period I would ask the doctor to prescribe you something that will start your cycle after they confirm with a blood test that you don’t have HCG in your system.

Hello Anne,
Welcome! Just like Brandy, I hope your journey is a short one too. Brandy hit the nail on the head with all of her great advice. My cycles were anywhere between 21 to 36 days long. I would take another pregnancy test again in a couple of days and if nothing again maybe call your doctor.
Good luck!
