New TTC Thread

Welcome mrsklamc! As Allison/ Skuttle said I hope your stay is a short one. I'm keeping this PCOS thing in mind for when I go visit the dr in October. It's added to the list. . .

I tested the other day and had 2 bright pink lines for ovulating! DSD was very happy when she came home from school and instead of doing homework i sent her to the neighbors to play! Hey gotta grab every moment we can!

I saw the story about the wrong IVF last night. What a strong woman God bless her! I've heard of this happening but not for a long time!

Aurora you are not pathetic just "hightened sensitivites". Nothing at all wrong with being careful round punk kids these days. They are unpredictable normally, if there is one around that scares you and you have your knight to come get you go for it!

OK ladies! Have a wonderful day!

You are too funny! Hope it was time well spent.

That IVF story is so awful! That would be my luck. Finally get to the pregnant stage and then not be able to keep the baby. And then, to top it off, be too old to try again.

E...LOL! Enjoy it!!

Every time I go back to the lab to pick up my sperm, I always think "what if this isn't mine?!?" Then I read about the terrible IVF mix up! That is just awful. I also wonder how the other family feels, the family that the embryo belonged to. What a strange situation for them, too. Like dealing with IF isn't emotional enough!

Hi everyone

Really tough day here yesterday. I finally stopped AF and have been having pregnancy symptoms. 3 Tests negative not a big deal I thought so the Dr did a blood test and negative. I also have been doing ovulation tests everyday and negative. I am so tired and I have decided to leave it up to the RE doc I just need someone else to worry about why this is happening.

I hope everyone is doing really well. Hope our expecting Mama's are feeling terrific and everyone is having fun

soontobewed07 so sorry. That sucks When you are ready to put a postitive spin on it, maybe taking it to the next level will give you the answer you need though. I so hope so and have my fingers crossed for you.

Glad the weekend is coming up! This has been a heck of a week in general.

Take care ladies!

Today I am 7 dpiui and I'm sitting in my office almost in tears because I am having the worst cramps ever! I NEVER get cramps. This can't be good.

Could it be implantation cramping? To me that sounds like a good thing-- seems to early for AF cramps!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I agree. Give it up to the RE. Too much stress for you.

was going to say the same thing about implantation. I hope this is it and that pain is your beautiful baby burrowing in nice and deep - getting comfy for the next 9 months! You will be in my prayers!!!


((((hugs))))

Allison - 7dpiui cramps are a GOOD thing. It's too early for serious AF cramps. My BFP cycles involved cramping at that time along with a short lived serious increase in CM around 7-8DPO.

 

[esbrick]

Hope you're feeling better!

 

[skuttle]

I'm hoping the cramps are a good thing! I still have twinges every now and then, but I no longer haw to squeeze the arms of my chair!! Thanks for all of the support...I'm halfway there! I do plan on testing on Monday at 10dpiui even though I know it's early!

Popping in to say Hi....I really can't share this info with anyone....they wouldn't understand.

We are exactly on a 1 year countdown to TTC!!!! (notice my ticker, we are hopnig for a special souvie when we go!!!)

Dh and I have 2 sons....Cody is 5.5 and Shane is 4.5. I was lucky enough to get pregnant without trying with both of them. I have an angel baby, Christopher, who would have been 11 had he lived (he was anecephalic), who I didn't have to 'try' for either.

We want another baby, but want to wait just another year since we have our Disney trip planned and I don;t want to be preggo or nursing at the time. However I am so excited that we are down to a year wait now!!!!

I know I am a long way off, but I have never had to TTC before....I've been blessed.....but I have a bit of anxiety about it all.

This is different for you....so don't be discouraged! 7 more days and you'll know for sure. I am thinking good thoughts about this

Hi everyone. I read along here anytime on the dis following your triumphs and hopes and fears feeling the same way silently.

Today is a day where I just feel like giving up. A week from today I'll be 31. Last week I saw my primary care doctor(PCM) for a couple things and asked about a referral to a specialist because of difficulty conceving. Because of the nature of insurance, we have to have documented proof i.e. doctor papers stating that for the last year we have been "actively" trying to conceive. Well, I don't think in the seven years of marriage I've evern had my husband for a whole year to practice the whole art of conception.

Because of the insurance stuff, we have to start now with the official papers before I can go to a specialist. We guess what? My husband leaves in three weeks for 6 damn months and then is home for 3 months before leaving again for 3 months. I DO NOT EVER GET A YEAR WITH HIM!! I cannot get anyone here to understand this concept as this army place does not deploy like the normal army.

I'm trying to press the fact that I have documented proof about going off bc in 2007 and still nothing now. I can't get anyone to understand that this very small window of 3 years and with my husband gone alot is very likely the only window we have to have a baby. After this move, we will go back to a unit where he will be deployed every other year and home only 6 months with me when stateside.

I feel like I'm never going to even find out if something is "wrong" with us because no one will test. So I'll be 31 and I have a husband that wants a baby something fierce and we can't do a damn thing besides keep on keeping on. I'm going to keep on this darn doctor and force the issue even if I have to play some kind of health worry card to see a specialist.

Thank you for listening. No one else I know is going through this. All our friends have babies or pregnant now and just pat my hand when I try to shrug it off. I just want some results one way or the other.

Here's lots of baby dust for you all.

Tina -

Did you ask your PCM if there is anything he can do? How about your gynecologist? They could at least get the process started with some blood tests. If the blood tests find something funky, that would be documentation for a specialist.

My insurance did not cover any infertility testing or treatment when we got started. I think it cost me $500 for the initial testing.

Something to think about. Lots of luck!
