I didn't really either! Good luck!! I usually had more "symptoms" when I got my BFN's!

If only....
But alas, I just keep drinking my raspberry tea here.

I bought some seeds for my garden and every year when I plant them I wonder if this will be the only life I can cultivate w/o help.

Sometimes we just need a little extra push. I needed to have my surgery, or I wouldnt have gotten pg either. It's nothing to feel badly about! We all need a little help with some things in our lives, and fertility just happens to be the area we need help with...we just need a little MiracleGro.

D&D don't give up! Good luck!!

So I am trying to be calm about this 2WW...and I think I've been pretty good about it. Last time I went crazy agonizing over symptoms, even though I knew the progesterone could be causing every one of them. I sure know better now (that was the first time I had to take it).

I have been hoping for some implantation spotting, because that would be the only good sign that is not caused by progesterone. LOL I did have a dream a few nights ago that I was spotting. And last night I had a dream I was at Disney, in a food court with DH. I just could NOT find anything that looked good. It all looked so gross to me. Then I said, "Well, do they have any wraps?" and DH and I went looking for them (It was a Pop century type food court with all the different pods). When a couple minutes later I said "ya know, I don't want that either". Then I woke up.

And today I'm starting with this pain in my hips, mostly my right one but occasionally the left too. Please someone hit me over the head and tell me this is nothing and I shouldn't be reading into it!!

Mrs Charming, NICE ticker!!!

I agree with Mrs.C! Sometimes we need a little help. Please remember there is some sort of plan for everyone. Unfortunately we're just not privey to it and we really can't do much until we know the details. Unfortunatley the darn details have to many "What ifs?" associated with them. I'm learning now that firtility is a crap shoot really. You never know anymore what anyone has gone through to have that "bundle of joy" who in our case, when we get lucky, was created by going through bouts of craziness, testing and drugs! Maybe that's what makes us so special, with what we have gone through we will be able to have patience for most things that drive others nutz!

Watching The Doctors and they are talking about home medical tests.

They covered fertility tests that test FSH, OPKS, and HPTs.

I'm dying laughing. They should have come and filmed at my house and seen my medicine cabinet. They also talked about when the best time to BD was...yah want to have the swimmers in there before you ovulate. I swear they should come seek expert medical advice here!

Hi Ladies....I had posted on here a while ago when I went through my ectopic pregnancy. I'm sorry I haven't been back in a while....just still going through a lot. But I wanted to say that my heart goes out to everyone that is going through tough times. It is never easy and I find myself asking...WHY? quite often as I am sure many of you do as well. This is such a great support group here in the Dis and I am glad I found you all. {{HUGS}} to everyone

Sorry.

Clomid didn't work and now we've been escalated to RMA NJ, an infertility group in NJ.

My doctor says I needed stronger drugs since my estrogen and progestrogen didn't increase to high enough levels considering the dosage. Also, I am stuck in ovulation.

I had 3 folicles, got one cyst, it never errupted and egg never released. I really was hopeful, I allowed myself to get excited and really should not have. All I wound up with was a long cry on my way home from the Dr.'s office.

I don't know how I feel about injectibles, etc. For those who have taken them, what's it like? Does it really increase your chances? Is it safe?

Hi ladies. Sorry I have been AWOL. Ever since I went to the RE at the beginning of the month my brain just hasn't been into anything except thinking about what is to come for Feb. I wanted to come on and see how everyone is doing. I see Mrs. Charming got her BFP! Congrats!! Sorry to the ladies that have gotten the ugly witch lately.

As for me ~ My Dr has given me a script for 100mg of Clomid to start taking on CD3 of my next cycle which should be sometime next week. Then on CD9 I'll be injecting myself with 150mg of Menopur (a form of FSH) to give those eggies a little oompf!! Then I'll take my Trigger shot around CD12 or 13 (Ovidrel) and have my IUI just after that. I'm kind of nervous but I feel ready for it all. I just hope that the first IUI works and I don't have to keep going through all of this. Oh yeah and I also have to have an HSG. I'm nervous about that too. I've heard that it's not so bad and is as fast as a pap but I've also read that some women have a lot of pain with it. Have any of you ladies had that done and if so what was your experience?

Esbrick ~ I see you are doing your IUI next week! Good luck with that and my fingers are crossed for you!

So sorry about the let down on this cycle. I am going to be on Clomid and one shot for an injectable in Feb. I've never been on it before so I don't know what it's like but from what I have heard, you can barely feel the needle. You can get bruising from the injection site though and a little discomfort (so I've read) but I think that's about it. I'm not really sure how much it would increase your chances to get pg. I guess it all depends on how many follies you produce. When will you be starting the meds?

I actually had an HSG just last week. It wasn't too bad. When the insert the catheter and dye, I did get really bad period cramps for a few minutes. Then the pain dinimished after those few minutes. I had very light cramps on and off for a few days but they really were no big deal and not even noticable. If you have any other questions feel free to ask....I will be more than happy to answer them. Good luck to you!

Oh that's good to know that it wasn't too bad for you. I can handle period like cramps for sure! They told me to take some form of ibuprofen before the procedure. Is that what you did? My Dr is doing mine in the same cycle as my first IUI. She said it would be fine.
