TWW starts today! Who's with me?!

[onebumpplease]

I'm here following you girls. Just lurking away (in a non stalker creepy kinda way). xoxo

We are going forward with the IUI. I'm prolly quitting temping after AF arrives for the IUI as they will be giving me a schedule of dates that will outline when and what will be done. They will also tell me when and when not to BD. RE said the cycle will be all planned out for me and I won't have to think about a thing. Hoping this will alleviate some of my anxieties of missing OV and such. I might even not do any OPK's either. I plan to ask at my next appt that will be when AF arrives. Which should be Thurs or Fri.

Sounds good snow. Here's hoping for the best

Snow, lurk away! There's nothing creepy about to keep up, but keep quiet.

I'm glad that you guys have made a plan - and I think your doc is right, having everything planned will be SO MUCH LESS STRESS! I know you're still struggling with all of this but I'm actually excited for you - this is HUGE step towards getting your little one! I hope the process isn't too difficult (I really know nothing about how it works except for the mechanics of IUI... ) or painful. This could be the beginning of the end for you! (In a good way.. not an ominous one - you know what I mean!)

Take care, and keep your chin up.

[Torres]

Snow - I agree witht the girls. This is a good thing and one step closer to your BFP! I also think it will be very nice for you to have the responsibility of it all off your shoulders. We'll be here every step of the way!

 

[Leinzlove]

Babyhopes: I never temped either. I just BD CD10-20 nearly every day, and never missed more than every other. I hope you don't have to go for help, but temping is helpful.

Snow: I'm sorry to hear that the showed her ugly face. I hope your first round of IUI is successful! It will be worth it.

Onebump: I really hope this isn't a long cycle. I don't get why your Dr. isn't doing anything about these super long cycles... Isn't there a way to shorten them? Have you looked into B6 at all? The fact that the Dr. is doing nothing is making me mad.

Torres: It sure is hard being PAL. My boobs also went from sore to not sore. Seemed like they are sorer when they are couped up in a bra. Symptoms came and went. When is your first appt/scan?

 

[onebumpplease]

I'm taking Bcomplex again, I had stopped all my vitamins under some sort of trying to fool my body into not trying. Completely ridiculous and we are back to normal vitamin munching

I don't want to ask my GP about my cycle, but once all our tests are done, including the HSG and I get to speak to the gyno, I will discuss fixing the cycles at least. Not letting it get to me now, but if O hasn't happened within the next two weeks I'll maybe not feel so happy about it!

 

[Torres]

Onebump - Hopefully the Bcomplex will help with your cycle this month. When does that HSG guy get back again? I can't believe they don't have a replacement for when he's on vacay. Are you in a small town in Scotland?

Leinz - What's PAL? I go for my first u/s tomorrow.

I wish I wouldn't have complained about not having symptoms. Yesterday I was so dizzy that I had to leave the store while I was shopping, I had to sit with my head between my legs for what seemed like an hour, and then I had to eventually call my mom to come over and check on me! I have never been that dizzy (without being drunk, hehe), the room was spinning, I felt like I was going to throw up, urggg, it was bad. My mom came over and gave me saltine crackers, I ate a whole package and drank 3 bottles of water. She also brought her portable BP machine to check my BP. It was normal for me (95/50). I'm going to the Dr. for my physical today and to fill in the start of my pregnancy forms, and I want to talk to him about it. I know in the beginning of pregnancy, you can have low BP spells, and because I already have low BP, I don't want to have fainting spells or something. (I fainted a few times when I was preg with my daughter). But, at the same time, I have to be super careful of doing anything to raise my BP, because I am at high risk of developing PE and HELLP syndrome again. Blah, if it's not one thing it's another eh?

 

[onebumpplease]

PAL = pregnant(cy) after loss I believe.

Torres that's yucky. I have really low blood pressure and BCP can raise your blood pressure, but the doc said I was still really low on it. That is something to keep in mind when I get my BFP

Must be good to get the ball rolling at the docs Woohoo for your USound, please keep us informed

 

[snowflakes120]

How's my girlies doing?

Torres - HOw did the appt go?

AF should show tomorrow for me.

 

[Torres]

Hey. Just got back from my u/s. I am 6 weeks spot on, and she said everything looks really good so far. Got to see the little heart beating - amazing seeing the baby is only 2.2mm! I go back for my second u/s on Sept 11th. I have my OBGYN appt on Sept 5th, and because he does in vitro, he may do the u/s there, so I won't have to go back to this place.

How's everyone else doing?
Snow - so if AF shows tomorrow, you go see the specialist tomorrow too? You're doing IUI this cycle right? How are you feeling about it?!
Onebump - Fx'ed you O soon and don't have a super long cycle.
Babyhopes - When are you estimated to O this cycle?
Leinz - How's the bump?

 

[Leinzlove]

Snow: I just wish AF would stay away for 9 months!

Onebump: I take B6 and I still take it. I will take Bcomplex even when I'm not TTC. I'm glad you are being positive. I hope O gets here soon!

Torres: So happy you saw baby's heartbeat. Happy 6 weeks! I know how hard that first appt. is... I didn't breathe easier until I got out of the first tri.

AFM: PAL does mean pregnancy after loss. I had a perfect day. I also had an ultrasound... measured right on and found out my bump is pink!

 

[snowflakes120]

I am beyond annoyed right now. My AF always shows 1st thing in the AM. She's a no show. WTF. The only time I want her be here - she's skips by me. I really just want to get started with the IUI process. What a witch! I supposed since my Progesterone levels were so high this cycle, it makes sense that it will take longer for the them to go down to get AF. I still am highly annoyed! Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Torres]

Snow - Are you sure you're not pregnant?

Leinz - Congrats! Is this your first girl?
- I can't wait for first tri to be over, I'm so scared to miscarry.

 

[snowflakes120]

I'm a bad buddy.

Congrats Leinz on the GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So very very happy for you!!!!!!!!!!! I ideally would love a girl but at this point will not complain about either!! Any names picked out? I have a girl name I really love!!

And you too Torres - Congrats on the U/S and seeing the HB. That is wonderful!! I doubt I'm PG with my temps dropping like they have. Maybe I'll buy one at walmart for 88 cents and see later. I hate to waste the money though. Even if it is only 3 quarters, a dime and 3 pennies...

 

[Leinzlove]

Snow: I hope AF has a reason and its because you aren't pregnant! I just can't wait for it to happen for you.

AFM: I have a DD, this is DD #2! I'm so happy though to have a baby! My names are Bella Dawn and Priya Dawn... Can't choose and still looking at the same time.

DD #1 is Chloe Noreen

 

[snowflakes120]

Af totally arrived. Booo!! Oh well. I'm not surprised! Just add it to another busted cycle.

I am no longer charting. It was so nice to just sleep in today without the alarm clock going off and me struggling to go back to sleep.

I am feeling quite hopeful for this cycle. I go to the Dr. tomorrow - they have open hours from 6am to 8am. I can't wait to get some more info. I also made an appt to go and get acupuncture, she specializes in fertility. I go Friday after work - I'm super excited for it and it's supposed to help me relax as well. I went to Yoga yesterday and felt great after. Hope everyone's having a great weekend. Been totally engrossed with the Olympics!!

 

[onebumpplease]

Snow I am so glad you are ready for this cycle I hope the acupuncture is just the ticket

 

[Torres]

Snow - excited to hear about your time at the doc's tomorrow. I've heard that acupuncture works wonders for a variety of things. Hope the combo of IUI and acupuncture gets you your BFP this cycle!
Onebump - Any sign of O?
Babyhopes - How are you doing? You should be gearing up to O in the next week right? Ready to put your new plan in action?

 

[onebumpplease]

Torres, you are keeping us going eh

No sign of O, but it's CD13 so even last month when I O'd on CD14, I didn't have O signs till after I'd O'd on CD 15,16 etch. So progesterone symptoms.

I did have a sharp stabbing pain during the night that could've been O related, but just easily not. We'll see

 

[Torres]

Onebump - I told you, I want you ladies as my bump buddies, so I don't care how long it takes, I'm here till we all get our BFPs!
- I hope that was an O pain. Are you getting in lots of BDing just in case? When do you see the Dr next? What are your hubby's thoughts on all of this? Is he being very supportive?
Snow - Excited to hear how the Drs went this morning!
Babyhopes - Your quiet. Just waiting to O eh?

 

[snowflakes120]

The appt was quite boring. I waited like a half hr. Spoke to the Nurse in the hallway. Got blood work done - which the girl was less than gentle and my arm hurts and is already starting to bruise and I have awesome veins! She is calling with my Estrogen blood results this afternoon. I was less than pleased when I asked if they would do anything if they end up being too low and she said they are more concerned with them being too high. Boo. I have a feeling that mine will be low as estrogen dictates CM & lining - and I have an issue with both. I have to go to the Pharmacy after work and pick up the Femara. My ultrasound should be next Tuesday for check my lining and Follicles. Nothing too exciting.

One bump - Hope that OV happens soon. Do you plan on doing OPK's?

Babyhopes - How ya doing girl?
