New TTC Thread

[Kronk's girl]

Okay so much is going on here I can't keep up at all! Welcome to the newbies who have popped in recently- I hope you have a short stay!

And I am totally jealous that you are on your way to WDW soontobewed- LUCKY! I am in desperate need of a Disney trip.

So when should the good news start flooding this thread? I am looking for some good news to lift my spirits- I am crossing my fingers for all of you!!

 

[RachaelRol]

congrats on all the good news here ladies. Rachael that was a happy surprise now wasn't it!!

More good news, my HSG yesterday showed my tubes are clear. I start my tamoxifen tonight, and go in on the 22nd for follie check.

It was. Now the desperate, 2WW.... Although I did forget about all the TTC stuff for a bit and had a mago/passionfruit frozen Margarita at dinner last night. I rememberes half way in...


Great news on the HSG. I knew you were so worried.

 

[RachaelRol]

Actually we have been waiting for AF to show so we can start the Shots for the IUI. They want me to start tonight so that things can be ready for next week.

How was your shot?

 

[RachaelRol]

You're welcome. And I totally kwym! I think that all the time too. Especially when taking the meds. It will all be worth it though.

Oh God! It seems like MIL's are the most insensitive!! My MIL says totally inappropriate things too. I wish there was a good way to tell them to bug off!!

My MIL likes ot tell her friends and DH aunts that, " I can't have anymore." This is bad enough, but then they all come to me and go, " Poor thing you can't have anymore." Or my favorite, I hear them talking to eachother about " Poor Rachael, she can't have any more."

Good luck Kenny's Wife!!!

A couple of pages back we were debating if we were going against God's plan with the meds, etc.. Well at church yesterday, I think I got an answer.... Yay!

At church yesterday, it was a healing mass. During mass the priest said, "it's foolish to not seek all medical options if there is chance at healing." He also said, "it's foolish to not include God in the healing process." I honestly felt God was talking to me through Father Smith.

After mass, I also went for the sacrement of the sick and a special healing prayer. it was very emotional and the women who parayed with me felt like angels. It was really moving.

Good luck to everyone, there has to be at least one BFP this month!!!

Oh, and I am off today and used that 40% extension to book a 10 day trip to the Poly in July!! our first time staying there!

We were thinking about going to Puerto Rico to visit family and introduce DS to his roots. I convinced DH that we can cancel a Disney trip and get our money back if I get a BFP but if we book air and rental car to Puerto Rico we'd lose it because I am not going to Puerto Rico in July while pregnant!!

Born in the states, but yes! You'll have a great time. It's been 8 years since I've been to the island. Go to El Morro. You have to take a pic of yourself sitting on the cannonballs!

Hello Girls!! UPDATE for me!!

Husband and I had our RE appt this morning to talk about what we should do next. Recently, with the exception of this month, I was put on Clomid and I got the trigger shot. We took the month of February off, considering we are going on a cruise this Sunday for a week!

Well, I had so many questions for my RE... apparantely during my last cycle when they did the post coitel test, it showed that my cervical mucus was hostile. Husband and I thought maybe it was due to the diuretics that I take. But RE says that there isnt any proven data about that. Anyway, he began to discuss our options...considering I am not a stranger to all the infertility issues..(ive been trying to get pregnant for over 10 years) RE wants to be a little more agressive. He does not want to put me on Clomid for 5 more cycles and "wait and see" what happens. So here is the PLAN------

A) One Cycle of Clomid + Trigger+ IUI
if that doesnt do it.............

B) Start on Follistim...injectables
if that doesnt work.............

C) IVF -hopefully it wont come to that....i dont know how we would afford that....but then again adoption is expensive too....but at least its a guarantee. ...adoption that is.

My RE just wants to get me pregnant the fastest way possible considering i am not getting younger....he says 2010 is the year!!! I would LOVE to believe that..LOL

So thats my update....oh and one more thing....I got a "high fertilty" reading on my monitor again...4 days in a row...will i EVER peak?? LOL

When the nurse showed my husband the costs of the injectables....she told him that she hopes that it will scare us into concieving on our own this month

Baby Dust to all of you!!!!!!!!!!

KEnnywife- Fingers and toes crossed for a BFP



Started the Gonal F last night and it does sting a little, but not too bad. It's pretty easy and the needle was small enough it didn't hurt too bad.

So for anyone who will need to take it No worries!

I have to give it to myself tonight. I am hoping it's as easy as the insulin when I was pg with DS.

Need to add this for my sanity

12 days until Disney!

Soontobewed!!! Have a great time on your trip!

Good luck Kenny's Wife!!!

THat sounds so wonderful. I also believe that this is a sign for you. Praying that this is the turning point to good luck!

STBW in a way I am glad your AF came so you can get on with the show!!!

So tomorrow is Mardi Gras, I will be riding on a float as I do every year....going to enjoy myself and have some beer and jello shots -- I don't want to NOT enjoy myself, especially since I'm NOT pregnant and really thought I would be by now. (I remember last year at this time, wondering if I was pg cause AF hadn't come and I was 13 DPO with BFN. She came the next day, ugh). The only hard liquor I'll have will be the little bit in the jello shots. So hopefully nothing will mess with my egg production or anything.

Yeah totally enjoy yourself Cheri! I really hope that you have a great time!! And I"m glad you are not in the 2ww this time so you don't have to worry about if you're pregnant or not. I don't think drinking will mess up your egg production. Just try not to think about it and have fun!

Okay so much is going on here I can't keep up at all! Welcome to the newbies who have popped in recently- I hope you have a short stay!

And I am totally jealous that you are on your way to WDW soontobewed- LUCKY! I am in desperate need of a Disney trip.

So when should the good news start flooding this thread? I am looking for some good news to lift my spirits- I am crossing my fingers for all of you!!

For me I will be in the 2ww starting tomorrow and my test day is March 3rd so hopefully I'll be posting good news then!! Hopefully Cheri will be posting with some good news not long after that and I know we had some ovulation going on last week so hopefully more good news before my test day. We really do need some BFP's around here!! FX!!!!

My MIL likes ot tell her friends and DH aunts that, " I can't have anymore." This is bad enough, but then they all come to me and go, " Poor thing you can't have anymore." Or my favorite, I hear them talking to eachother about " Poor Rachael, she can't have any more."

omg that is totally and utterly rude!! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. It's just not fair that everyone thinks that the infertile's business is everyone's business!! It SO is not!! Grrrrrr

Good luck Kenny's Wife!!!

Okay that totally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing that and I'm so glad that you got prayed over. Hopefully the big man upstairs was listening!

And yay on booking a Disney trip for July!! I'm very jealous!

Boooo to the hostile CM but yay to having a plan!! I had no idea you have been TTC for 10 years!! And I thought I had it rough with my measly 5. I'm VERY excited that you have a good plan now!! What a great RE you have. I love it when they are so positive. 2010 IS YOUR YEAR!!! I hope that you either get a BFP on your own this cycle or you get a BFP with the first IUI and you don't have to do anything else. FX for you girl!!!

FANTASTIC!!!! That is a great plan! This will sound weird but I am so happy they found something and now they can work on a "work around"!

 

[Kronk's girl]

Okay, only you ladies will laugh with me on this one...

Yesterday morning I was a little crampy (but I did decide to start doing sit-ups this weekend, so it could have been from that, haha), but anyway- even though it was a little early for me to ovulate I took out a test strip and of course while waiting for the results I dropped it in the toilet!!!

So I was mad at myself for wasting a stick and threw it out and went on with my day assuming I probably wasn't ovulating. Last night I go to throw something in the garbage and I see my stick sitting in there with two dark lines! So was that positive from the toilet water or me? Panic!! I test again and get a negative. So I guess I wasn't ovulating...but I guess it's true there must really be something in the water!

LOL something in the water! I have no idea if that positive would have been from you or the toilet water. Hmmmm. I'm always so afraid I'm going to drop a test stick in the toilet or not pee on it right. Why do they have to make it so difficult? Geez!

 

[esbrick]

Yeah totally enjoy yourself Cheri! I really hope that you have a great time!! And I"m glad you are not in the 2ww this time so you don't have to worry about if you're pregnant or not. I don't think drinking will mess up your egg production. Just try not to think about it and have fun!

I second that! Besides, joy and fun are great stress relievers which we know have proved to work wonders!

For me I will be in the 2ww starting tomorrow and my test day is March 3rd so hopefully I'll be posting good news then!! Hopefully Cheri will be posting with some good news not long after that and I know we had some ovulation going on last week so hopefully more good news before my test day.

So exciting!

I agree!

WooHoo for Disney in May!! Will you be there for SWW? We were considering going down for Memorial weekend but I'm not so sure that is going to happen with all the $ we are throwing at this IUI right now. Oh well. It will all be worth it once I get my BFP. I hope you guys have fun though! How long of a trip are you taking?

Not sure about being there for SWW. We are going the week before Memorial Day weekend. We were supposed to go in April but Meg's mom wanted her with her for spring break this year, and I have a craft beer conference during spring break so it would not have been a great time to go. To be honest I'm still waiting for CB to say she didn't make plans and they are going to have a stay-cation or something.

So looking forward to being at SSR though for a week. I'm hoping by the end of May it has warmed up.

Anyone else going in May?

 

[esbrick]

OK so I've been putting this off all day as I didn't want to actually have to type it.

BFN

B00bs started hurting yesterday and I know the signs. So I said s(rew it and tested last night. I am heart broken. . . We both cried. To be honest I miss my babies that never were. . . I was so sure! I so thought that this was it. I really did. . . I even, against better judgement, started making plans in my head, dumba$$. (I hope I don't get dinged for that. Sorry mods!)

I'm sorry that I didn't bring better news. I really am. . .

 

[Kronk's girl]

So Sorry Esbrick.
