I know *exactly* what you mean. I felt the same with with my SIL. 2 "oops" pregnancies. Me, on the other hand, have to struggle for YEARS.

You'll get there.

Soontobewed-- if I didn't have my SHG, I wouldn't have known I had polyps that were a big factor in my ttc failed cycles! Maybe you'll get some answers!

AAAAAHHHHH! I HATE my job today. (Key word - today). I'm a benefits coordinator for a manufacturing company and most days absolutely love my job - I mean LOVE my job. I just celebrated my 10 year annniversary last month and I can't imagine working anywhere else. So I go to lunch with a big group to celebrate one of the girls birthdays. I get back and have a message to call an employee's wife. So I call her and what does she need? She needs help finding a doctor because they just found out she's pregnant. Just what I needed to hear today. Now I'm truly happy for her. She had a miscarriage last year also and I talked with her a lot when it happened and shared how I felt, etc. so I understand that they're happy. But her miscarriage was like 6 months or more after mine and here I am still TTC again without any luck and she's pregnant again. It just isn't fair. I just want to go hide in a closet and cry. That's the very worst part - I'm stuck at work and it's so hard to remain upbeat and positive for the rest of my day when all I really want to do is have a nice big cry!

Good luck today!

Good Luck!!!


Soontobewed-- if I didn't have my SHG, I wouldn't have known I had polyps that were a big factor in my ttc failed cycles! Maybe you'll get some answers!

thank you all! Today went great.

The word is: My uterine lining has thickened from a 6.5 to 8 millimeters. The nurse said that is great. Also I have one follicle on the left side that is 21 mm!! It grew a whole 10 mm! The one in my right ovary grew from a 13 to a 15 mm, which is big enough to be ovulated but they like to see a 16 or above. There is a chance this one could ovulate too!!

The lab was having issues today, so they told me they would call me this afternoon after they confirm that my bloodwork is okay. I guess they have to see if I'm close to ovulating on my own before they can schedule the HcG trigger shot.

The nurse did show us how to give the injection, and DH and I are fighting over that job. LOL (I'm sure I'll let him do it) Most likely, I will be 'triggering' at home tonight (or maybe even early tomorrow morning before work) and then the IUI would be Wednesday.

The other good news is, my boss was here this morning (she wasn't supposed to be, but came in to have coverage until I got here) so I took that opportunity to sit down with her when I got here. I told her that we are undergoing fertility treatments, and that's why everything has to be timed right. She totally understood, is very excited for us, and said she would pray for us. And she said she knows how very important this is and that we'd do whatever it takes to make sure I can make all my appointments. Also, she wants me to have twins. LOL

I have to say, it is SUCH a HUGE relief to have told her, I feel so great today!!! No more of "Umm, sorry but I have another appointment tomorrow" or "Well I don't feel too good today so I'll be in late".

I am however, hoping to schedule the IUI in the afternoon so that I can just leave here and won't have to worry about how long it takes, or coming back to work afterwards (I get too excited after!) I asked the nurse about the afternoon and she said that one of the dr's would be there (MY dr won't be in the office all day anyway) so maybe they'll have me trigger like 6 am tomorrow, before work?? Then go in around 2:30 for the IUI Wednesday. Crossing my fingers that we can do it just like this.

Uggg! I'm sorry. Don't beat yourself up to much though. Unfortunately, and this is the sucky part, at this moment you have no control over what is going on around you so just breath. . .

Now when you get out of there and you are home go for it! Have a good cry! Grab a drink and pull up a chair at the bar! I'll be waitin for you having my own melt down. .

My chest grew. They started last night but I ignored it. It currently feels like Dolly Parton's chest has invaded mine and they will burst any minute which of course is the pre curser to AF. I'm just not ready right now. . . just not ready to feel this and call it a day this month. For some reason it came on so suddenly like being sucker punched. . . just not ready this time. . .

Again.. darn those well-meaning folks. You're going to get pregnant, I just feel it. Get one of those ClearBlue fertility monitors!! Seriously. Ebay. Craigslist, FreeCycle, just get one!!

Oh, and go home (early if you can) pour yourself a nice glass of wine, take a nice warm bath... and cry. If you can't do that, pull into a parking lot on your way home, blast some music, and bawl. It's ok.

So glad to see some good news.

Thanks for all the support guys. Now that I've had my mini-meltdown I can at least share some good news of my own. I have a friend who posted on facebook that she was gifting her fertility monitor. I messaged her and she is going to be sending it to me. I think it will be too late for this cycle but it's a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak looking week.

Congrats, Cherbear!! 20mm was always my dr's magic number.

 

[soontobewed07]

Thanks Mrs. Charming this will be my 4th SHG and I have to say I thought it was only my 3rd so I blocked one out. LOL I guess I really can't take it anymore.
I am not sure why they are still doing them since I have already had a D&C UGH

 

[cherbear]

okay, the nurse finally called. The dr doesnt want me to do anything yet. He's gonna review my chart in the morning and then let me know for sure what he wants to do.
She thinks that he is thinking the smaller follicle will grow a little bit more. And most likely another ultrasound Wednesday, and then IUI Thursday.

While I am ready to get this show on the road, so to speak, I am trusting my Dr. to do what's best. AND now that my boss knows what is going on, this news doesn't really bother me like it would have if I didn't tell her already!

Hugs for everyone...I think we are all getting more frustrated because of the new year, that milestone just isn't fun for ladies who are TTC.

Good luck cherbear, I hope this works for you, and I am still crossing my fingers for you esbrick- maybe the bigger chest and nausea are good signs! But I am starting to mix up where everyone is in their TTC process, maybe it was because of clomid? But I think you were going to start that next cycle?

Anyway- crossing my fingers and saying a little prayer for each of us to get our BFP this cycle. I have been gulping down the red raspberry leaf tea and trying to stay positive. We booked everything for our trip to Europe this spring and I bought new clothes for it too, so now I probably will get pregnant - but if that happened I would still be more than thrilled, it would just make for an interesting trip!
