Thanks ladies, I'm extremely scared of losing this one. I'm praying that doesn't happen god knows best so I'm just gonna put it in his hands. I'm calling a lab clinic and see how much they charge and go get a draw done today if possible. Please say a prayer for me

Congrats momsbaby!!!!

Cupcake I've had that done too. They ended up not being able to see anything but it didn't hurt and the saline didn't flow back. I went on to have a lap that showed absolutely nothing wrong on my insides. Good luck on your procedure and TTC with the Femara.

Angie....Bahahaha I am dying that is what my BIL got my DH to calling it and it just sorta stuck! Bahaha we did end up "bumping dirties" but i don't think we caught it in time but that's ok with me. He is in a funky place and until he gets out of it we won't be happy about having another baby. That is horrid that your right side hurt so badly during the HSG and isn't that just some damned luck O'in and having to go in for surgery. Wouldn't it be nice if they could just make an artificial tube and replace the damaged one? In my dreams.

Fluter still nothing???

Congrats Momsbaby!!!! Fx for a long healthy happy 9 months.

Cupcake oh I am super excited for you!! Maybe that flush will help that little beany stick in there better!!

Insurance approved the HSG, after some creative codes from my Dr. lol So i'm scheduled for 2nd HSG Monday at 9:50am. I really am NOT looking forward to it tho The 1st time I had it done, the radiologist said right tubes was wide open ,but wouldn't tell me either way about left until he reviewed the films. I of course panicked, as that is my "long" tube & the side I usually feel O pains on! It was HORRIBLE not knowing for sure! Luckily I had a friend who transcribes for them & she snuck me a copy of the report which showed left open as well! I guess I'm just scared maybe after the M/C I do have a blocked tube :/ Not that I guess it matters since its so dang hard for us anyway, but just don't want another obstacle to surface....

Canada Day here and I've just spent the last 5 straight hours walking. I've now had 5 contractions in the last half hour and losing tons of plug. Asher feels like he's gonna fall out. Sitting hasn't slown them down. Will keep you all posted.

How exciting momsbaby. I am happy for you and your family. When did you have your TR if you do not mind me asking.

Cupcake the last time I said hello you were headed on vacation. I hope you and your family enjoyed the time together. It sounds like you have a Dr. that cares a great deal about your success. this new HSG may give you relief after it is over.

Hello to everyone else on the board.

I took a little break for a while, still charted, but was trying not to obsess because my frustration grows with each AF arrival. We meet a new fertility specialist on the 21st and dh will have his analysis that day as well. This office seems very mellow with only one Dr. and five staff members that have worked with him for twenty years. The other two clinics in the area had horrible reviews and after my disaster of a TR postop experience with a huge clinic I want to see the same Dr. every time and feel as though I am not simply a number. We are going straight to IVF as I feel ready, scared, but ready.

I believe one or two on this board did IVF did you opt out of work for a while. From my perspective with all the visits and injections working would seem challenging. My goal is to go into this as stress free as possible. Any advice is greatly appreciated. They can give me pain all they want as long as the result is a healthy addition to the family.

Brandy I see you are in Oregon which Dr. did you go to for IVF.

 

[momsbaby]

Anyhope I had my 2nd reversal feb 19th this year. The 1st surgery I ended up with both tubes blocked so I seen a different specialist in a different state and he done my 2nd surgery.

I go tomorrow morning for my blood draw. Crossing fingers

 

[fluterby429]

Oh Brandi I can't wait for you update!

Cupcake glad they finagled the codes to get the hsg approved

I had an eventful day. Apparently 5 hours straight of walking can really push things along. So it's Canada Day (or so ended 28 minutes ago) and I took my kids to the park for all the festivities.

I have been having a massive bowel cleanout for the last two days, combined with him dropping last week. Had mounds of plug come out today and around 5:15pm, felt my first contraction. 13 minutes later, another. 13 minutes after that, another. They weren't super painful, just like braxton hicks with cramping. By 7:00pm, they were every 5 minutes so I called the midwife. Asher had reduced his movements over the last two days, so they wanted me to go to the hospital and do an NST and said if everything was good with him, then I could transfer home and continue to labour and birth there.

Asher was great. Heartrate 130ish, and confirmed strong contractions every 5 minutes. They checked my cervix to see if anything was happening, and it turns out, I'm not yet in active labour, but there is something happening.

Since my last check, I have gone from 1cm dilated to 2cm dilated. My cervix length has gone from 2.5cm to 2cm, and my cervix has moved from posterior to anterior. Midwife said she could feel Asher's head, and he is currently at -2 station.

She said it is very possible I'm in the early stages of labour and could end up going in the middle of the night, or my body is just getting ready and I could go next week. She confirmed the same thing the other midwife said to me at my appointment last week, and that is that they believe I will not make it to my due date and believe Asher will be here within two weeks.

So, gonna go to bed and get some rest in case this turns in to the real deal. After midnight, and still having contractions.

Brandi although you must be slightly (or more than slightly) uncomfortable that is so exciting!!! Very shortly you will get to see his beautiful face. Congratulations.

 

[Navygrrl]

I hope you get some rest, Brandi!

 

[cupcakestoy]

Exciting stuff Brandi!!! Hope all goes well

Still pregnant here. Contractions tapered off somewhere in the night and now I'm waking to nothing but a lot of activity. He's not ready to be on this side of the womb and I'm okay with that. Every day he cooks, is a healthier little man.

I still have July 9 in my head, but my son, who woke up screaming "NO baby!" with my youngest about 10 minutes before the first contraction woke up yesterday morning and the first thing he said was "It's July now. That means you're going to have the baby this month, and he's going to come in 11 days".

11 days being July 12...which is a full moon, Buck Moon, and the first of a series of 3 Supermoons this summer...

 

[~Brandy~]

Brandy I see you are in Oregon which Dr. did you go to for IVF.

Dr Austin in Eugene Oregon. He is AMAZING

 

[fluterby429]

Well I hope you are not too uncomfortable. Not long now. July 11 sounds promising with all the moon activity.

I think AF will be here today after being MIA for 12 days. I had pink yesterday and a tiny bit of red today plus I'm cramping bad! If it comes, I will book my flight and leave July 23 in the evening!!
