Update on dh: *Motility is good, count is a little low, but morphology is up to 22%! *This is a big improvement from last time! *Dr. wants him to stay on clomid for 3 more months, then do another SA. *He did say, with these results, there was "a good chance of me getting pregnant", as long as everything is normal on my end. *I am headed to the dr later this month. *Thanks for all your good vibes!

YAAAAAY Lucie!! Fabulous news!!!!


Tryfor -- I think a lot of it does go up and out through the ovaries (I don't get how it gets out, but whatever.... but still some of it hanging out in the uterus will come out. I might have had it worse with the left tube being blocked. But being prepared is good in any event!

Yea, thats right.....I stalk you!

hahaha I stalk everyone too!!! I am actually holding back the urge to go and take a test. It seems that everyone is moving onto the testing/treatment phases. My dh keeps 'forgetting' to make an appointment for his dr and because I leave so early and dont get home until the dr is closed I keep forgetting to remind him!! I will force him to ring the dr in the morning!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Good luck, soph, on getting the hubby to call! My DH does that too, until I burst into tears. That always seems to work for me!

Lucie - That is fantastic news, I am sooo excited for you.

Squirrel - hope all went well today at the docs xx

Hiya Soph - fingers crossed for you hun that those temps stay high.

Well we went back to the hospital today for OH to give his sample. I Think he is such a star, we have to go to this little room round the back of the blood testing suite and hang a little do not disturb sign on the door. It is right next the staff room and you can hear them going in and out and talking. Not a pleasant experience but at least it's over with. One sample handed in personally to the lab, should be a week to get the results.

Hope everyone is doing good xx

Wow Ejay, well done on dh being able to 'perform' under such conditions. I don't think mine would be able to do that! Thank goodness we live 5 mins from the fertility clinic so we will be able to run it straight there afterwards. He made an appointment to see his dr and get a referral today. That is a step in the right direction.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Ejay, your DH has courage! I wonder if my dh was able to hear talking and such when he went to the clinic.....hmmm....I went to the pervy store and bought him some dvd's for this occassion from now on so he doesnt have to use a magazine and be by himself.... Poor guys. Good Luck on your results!!!!

Soph!! I am really really REALLY loving your steady climb of temp's!

 

[soph77]

Nothing but bfns Julia
I am wondering if I should just go ahead and get a hsg for myself rather than waiting to see what dhs sa turns up?

 

[tryforbaby2]

I am surprise really about bfn's with those awesome temps and creamy cm.... Just dumbfounded. Even though we hate to hear it, many people get their bfp's before af's due date but there are also many that don't get a bfp until af is due or later.
But since you also have been trying so damned long like everyone on this thread, I don't see why you wouldn't get some other testing done. At least if it clears your mind.
I am spying on you and your temps my lovely lady!!!!

 

[soph77]

You know what, the strangest thing happened last night and this morning. My boobs have been very tender and for some reason before I hoped into the shower last night I gave my nipples a little squeeze and lo and behold a tiny droplet of milk came out!!! The same thing this morning. Now my son is almost 10 years old and I stopped lactating a LONG time ago. Is this normal for this time in a cycle? Maybe it is part of having high progesterone? It was only a tiny bit, and I keep squeezing them now and nothing left. Seriously should I be reading into this or just put it down to hormones? I am going to test again tomorrow morning for V day and then if it is bfn give up and will af to hurry up and get here.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Hmmmm.....? I don't know really?.... BUT I had Hailey 6 years ago and I occassionally get some soft-hard white stuff out of there when I squeeze (ya know, when I am trying to make them hurt for symptom spotting sake....)
But if you have never noticed that before I would just take a note of it and put it in FF in your notes, as a reminder of when it happened.
You must be sleeping now, but I will be back later today to see what your temp was this morning!!!!

Come On Sophy!

You deserve it girlfriend!

 

[soph77]

Another bfn, with a triphasic chart and all Shitty start to the day grrrrr, I really did have my hopes up. Oh well, at least dh is going to do his sa and I have already saved enough for the first round of iui so if things go according to plan we should be able to srtat that soon.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Crap! Your temps are looking perfect. I see your lop is usually 17 days long right?! So, there is still a chance for an eggy to implant before af. I also have my hopes up very high for you, but I will not badger you!!!

I will try and quietly wait for more updates from you! Thinking of you, and sending lots of luck and dust your way!

 

[tryforbaby2]

TMI alert!

I thought I would mention that I thought Clomid dries your cm up but for the past 4-5 days I have been very wet and soaking my undies.....I mean soaking them.....so weird. I have not dtd at all during my fertile period because we are so tired and because of IUI coming up. I am hoping to dtd tonight, if no pos opk tomorrow, then hopefully tomorrow too. When i get a positive opk, no sex that day (dr.'s orders) and then IUI the next day.

Just in case soph,maybe you should call and schedule your hubbys sa for this week or week of af (IF she shows) and then maybe your doctor can get your plan started for this upcoming cycle. You want to try and get some things in order right before af comes and within the first 2-3 days of af, that way you can start treatment that month instead of waiting for the following month.

 

[maratobe]

hi all! sorry to intrude! i am actually just trying to find a group where i belong!
my husband and i have been TTC for 23 months now with 3 losses....
we are on our 3rd round of clomid and then we are gonna take it naturally after this cycle and then back to the doctors....

 

[tryforbaby2]

I am not sure what you are looking for, but we are very nice in here. However, since all of us have been ttc for far too long, not many of us come on anymore I come on still but thats because I have not much to do at work to pass the time!

Feel free to do whatever you like! We welcome everyone with open arms!

Good Luck!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Welcome Maratobe!!!!! Yeah, we're not a terribly lively group at the moment, but you could help us turn it around!!

So, I had my follow up appointment on Friday. I was a bit too depressed to even come on BnB and talk about it til now. In a much better state of mind now. So to go back a step, I just had my HSG two Thursdays ago. Left side blocked. Scheduled a follow up to discuss my next steps and that was on Friday.

At the HSG the doctor was amazingly compassionate and I was just super excited. I had just switched from another doctor who didn't seem concerned or willing to help me. Anyway, I went on Friday expecting a full on plan, but all I got was "well, you can get a lap if you want one, but it probably won't help. Up to you". And also that he won't do anything else until my OH's SA results improve. Because he thought 17 mill was REALLY bad. Um. I don't think it's catastrophic, buddy!

Anyway, My OH had an appointment scheduled with a urologist for end of March and I couldn't bear to wait that long, plus however long to "fix" his numbers. So I had hubby call another place and he has an appointment for THURSDAY!! So, once he has that appointment and he has more info, I'm hoping my doctor will get it in gear for me. Or at least refer me to an RE.

My doctor won't give me clomid or anything.... So.... anyway, I was all upset and spent absolutely the entire weekend on the couch watching the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy. Doing much better today since OH got a much earlier appointment...

So that's what's new with me....

 

[tryforbaby2]

SG!!! You are a very strong woman!

My goodness, I am so glad you found a doctor to take DH sooner! I have my fingers crossed for good results!

17 mil....is that post wash???......

 

[SquirrelGirl]

No, 17 mill is the number they counted during the Semen Analysis.... everything else (motility, morphology, etc) was good.
