Well AF just arrived. I was just about to go to sleep and was hoping to test in the morning...

So sayonara month 16. You sucked. You gave me headaches and nausea and tricked me into thinking I might really be pregnant...and I even suffered through the headaches with no pain killers in case there was a little bundle of joy in there. How stupid I was to fall for your tricks.

Ahh, the heck with it. I say we just all start drinking again.

OMG! I'm so excited!!!! I just got a huge surprise! No, I'm not pregnant, unfortunately, but I'm so excited, I gotta tell someone!

Ok, the hubs and I were at home chillin tonite and I, the habitual planner, am planning our fall anniversary trip. So, I was looking at Royal Caribbean site and went to get a quote from a TA on one of the sailings. As I was about to hit send, my hubby hit cancel. I said, "Hey, what are you doing? I'm trying to plan our trip, ya know?!" I was a bit peeved.

That's when I got the surprise. He handed me a bag and said, how would you like to do this instead? I opened it and it was.......a brochure from DCL!!!!!!!! The brochure had the 7 day W. Caribbean cruise and the 4 day Bahamian cruise highlighted. He told me we could pick one and go from there. He'd been to AAA and started getting quotes and was going to surprise me on my b-day! He said he wanted to do something really nice for me since I may be having this surgery.

I tell you, I almost fell over I was in shock. We haven't been on DCL since our honeymoon 4 years ago. Once I quit bawling I hugged him uptight. We'll probably be going around the end of Oct. so I can make the F&W festival. (My writing assignment) I swear, I don't know what I did to deserve Kenny, must have done something right.

I'm so sorry....in fact I just came on to check to see if you had tested.

How exciting - sounds like a plan.

Well I am now CD25 - 9dpo. Can the days drag a little slower? I am so hopeful this month that I know I am going to be dashed when it doesn't happen. I've been trying not to be....but I just feel optimistic. Fertility Friend says to test Sunday. The doctor said to take my full 15 days of progesterone then test. I can't wait that long though because I didn't get started taking it until 5dpo so I would still have 10 days....I can't wait that long I would go absolutely NUTS!! Although it would probably be better since it seems like my prior two pregnancies I didn't get a positive test until 18 or 19 dpo. UGH!! This sucks!

My apologies for having such a hard time keeping up....but can we get an update of where everyone is? This group really needs some good news and I hope it's SOON!!

I'm 8 dpIUI so I'm right along with ya babe!!

I don't blame the dr telling you to wait if you got late BFP's both other times. KMFX for you!!

So anyone ever get bloody snot in the 2ww and then get a bfp?? I've had blood in my nose for a couple of days, and still have it a bit this morning. (The first day it was a lot, a little less yesterday) I have heard of it being a symptom but I am SO trying NOT to get my hopes up. Just wanted to throw it out there though!

I have definitely heard of bloody noses being a symptom, but didn't experience it personally.

Well, ladies I know I said that we (DH and I) were taking a break from TTC to get healthier before we try clomid, but we are not using any preventative measures either. So AF was due on Saturday - it is now thursday and still no AF. So yesterday morning I told DH that no AF and he said that we better test so I did and it was negative! So, I cried myself to sleep last night because I too let myself get hopeful only to feel stabbed in the gut. I cried for Esbrick last night too knowing she was going thru this too.


I am at a point where I think I am going to have to seek mental health help - this TTC crap is really getting to me. I am starting to wish we would have never started this whole process...


On a side note I have lost 12 lbs since the second week of Feb. So I am getting healthier.

Ok, pity party over. Thanks for letting me vent...again.

Trust me hon, you're entitled to a pity party. I am two weeks overdue, 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. I figure it's my fibroids acting up again. Thank goodness I go to see the dx next Friday. Never thought I'd be so happy to see the gyno.

You are welcome to come vent anytime. I totally get where you are. It seems so unfair that every month we have to hit bottom and then work on digging ourselves out of the pit only to repeat it all again.

Thanks so much Momma! D&DD, Kronksgirl and Anna went through/ are going through this too! I am hoping that we get some good news soon! We have some ladies who are just coming up to the end of their 2WW and I start another one I believe on Saturday, dependent on tomorrow am's ultrasound.

As WDW said please know you can vent here, hold your pity party or come by with drink in hand to commiserate anytime!

Hi Everyone,

Hoping for some good news for one of you since I just got bad news.

Okay, so I have diminshed ovarian reserve which basically means I have the ovaries of a 45 year old.

My chances of getting pregnant with my own egg and IVF is less than 10%.
My chances of getting pregnant with a donor eff is 60% to 70%. But there is the $8000 donor fee that I would assume my insurance doesn't cover. They do cover all of the medical stuff related to the donor.

I am so conflicted. I don't know if I want to go there. I don't know how I would feel about DH and "another woman's" child. I am okay with adoption because it's not biologically both of ours... I guess I kinda fell like DH cheated on me and had a baby... I know, really wierdo thoughts, I'm just all over the place right now.

RE wanted us to come in tonight but DH and DS have final basketball practice. So next appointment is on 3.12. RE wants to spend some time with us discussing the two options. Oh, God, I really wanted better news.

I hope one of you gets good news. And I am seriously considering therapy at this point.

I'm really really sorry to hear this. Take some time to think about this, and discuss with your DH. It is not an easy thing to hear. From someone who is using a sperm donor, it does take some time to be "okay" with the idea. Then it took even longer to really be "at peace" with it. It helped that I have such a supportive DH. At first he was absolutely mortified when he found out. (I mean "he drank himself into a tizzy when I wasn't there, and laid out on the deck for 2 hours" mortified. He kept repeating the same things over and over again, "its not fair" and "What did we do wrong". It was horrible) I'm not saying this to scare you or anything, I just pretty much know the feelings you are going through, even though I'm on the other side of it in my situation. You just have to realize that no matter what this child will be YOURS and DH's and you will love it like nothing else in this world.

If you ever want to pm me, I am here for you.

 

[MommaSnowwhite]

Rachael I am so sorry to hear about your news. That really stinks!

Rachel - I am so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult it is to have to try and come to decisions based on that information. And I don't think it sounds weird at all about the child not being both of yours biologically and how you would feel about it.

I know we talk about therapy on here a lot - sometimes seriously and sometimes in jest - but I just want to say that if you are considering it but hesitant it really isn't a bad thing. I know I was really hesitant about it initially after my miscarriage but I went ahead and did it and it was actually helpful. One other thing to throw out there - most employers have an EAP that allows free counseling sessions. Ours is 3 face to face visits per year per situation....and I think a lot are that since the one we had prior to this one was too. They are completely confidential and even if your employer doesn't offer one your DH's might and they cover dependents. The employer however won't know you have utilized the services. Usually posters are in the breakroom with contact info or it was provided in your benefit package. Okay that's the end of today's Public Service Announcement

Rachael. So sorry to hear this.
The thoughts you are having are all normal. I'd probably think exact same things.

How about ebryo adoption. Could that be covered??

 

[Kronk's girl]

Wow, Rachel, I'm so sorry. I hope you get a chance to really relax and think about whatever option is best for you and your family I don't think your thoughts are silly at all- I think they would be in the back of all of our minds, it's a lot to take in. But Cher Bear is right- no matter if you adopt or have a baby in some other way- you will love it and it will love you!

Momma- sorry about AF.

So there are a few still in the TWW- I am still crossing my fingers for you. I don't just want some good news on here now- I think we NEED it.

Sending lots of baby dust to all of us

Oh Honey I'm so sorry! It's good that you are going to the RE because maybe that will give you a new perspective on both alternatives. I know that some insurance does cover parts of adoption cost too. I have 2 cousins that are adopted and it is a beautiful gift to be given the chance to be able to do this for both the parent and the child.
