New TTC Thread

[Kennywife]

Still no AF. If she doesn't show up by the end of the week, she's late. Course, she's late a lot. (I have fibroids). Anyhoo, I will then get a test and find out. If it's neg. I will just assume she's taking her sweet time getting here, otherwise, I'm going to make an appointment to see the dx!

I went through this last year. Had several tests and so many different results. They had to give me the blood test to be sure I wasn't. It was a nightmare.

Anyway, me and Kenny have been BD-ing a lot lately, I know TMI, so hopefully something will take. Meanwhile, I will have our trips to look forward to; June solo trip for me and my Kenny's b-day weekend in D-Land in July. Kenny wants to take a longer one this fall to the F&W thing, so we may hopefully be able to get our souvenier there.

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. . .

Oh E....I'm so sorry. We can all relate to feeling SO SURE. How can we be disappointed when the feeling is soooooo strong??? How can those little buggers NOT hook up in there????
Is there any chance you just tested too early? Has it been 2 weeks.

Just makes me so mad that this keeps happening to us.

 

[soontobewed07]

E I'm sorry but your always the one telling us it's not over until the witch shows herself. FIngers and toes still crossed for you.

I HATE it when my AF is late. Its like I am being mocked or something....OH I'M LATE ...MAYBE I'M PREGGO....BUT NOOO.... then she shows her ugly self... It happens to me alot... I spend waay too much money on pregnancy tests. Then low and behold.....AF comes right AFTER I tested my tenth pregnancy test.....

Hopefully this is it for you and you dont end up getting AF!!

E,

I am so sorry. Really just heart broken for you. I wish there was something I could do to help.

 

[MommaSnowwhite]

E - so sorry . . .

 

[WDWorBUST]

Esbrick - I am SO SO sorry. I just knew it was your month too. But if AF isn't here there is still a little hope.

Good luck Anna. Keeping fx for you.

Hello Girls!! UPDATE for me!!

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!!!!!!!!!!

That is a great plan. I'm so sorry its been 10 years. Hopefully soon!

:

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

Thank you so much. I hope it is too.

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 agree! Have a great time Cheri!


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

One day I am bound to snap!

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!

I hope he was listening for all of us. And boy, I really need that trip!

Oh and Kronk's Girl,

Almost nothing is TMI for this group. Stick in the bowl, that's no where near gross or TMI.

 

[esbrick]

Thanks for all your support my ladies! Went out last night with Mike, Meg & CB for Fat Tuesday so it was good that I couldn't sit home and think and miss that joyful feeling I had last week. I spoke to my diabetic endocronologist yesterday and I am going to go in and have them run a thyroid again and see how that is since I've heard that can effect things. I am on synthroid and thought I was good to go but I'm always on a balance with it. I also called the RE office and I am waiting for them to call me back. My 2ww is not over until Sunday but I know the signs that AF is looming and I feel them all. Mood and b00bs don't lie so that's why I tested. Mike wants me to ask about IVF with Dr. K. He's all about let's cut to the chase. As with a few of us our age is also a factor here. So now I hurry up and wait for my RE's office to call, mean while the boss is about to blow a gasget, which although not my fault I will feel the remnints of and I need to organize a huge meeting for the end of next month and work with Alcohol side of the govt. to get a label approved in the next week and I'm hoping they see my side. So I have lots to keep me occupied until the weekend.

Thanks again for being there and your kind words! They are a great comfort and as I've said before I'm so grateful that you are all in my life

Well I did end up ovulating last night, and this was a huge for me- it was only day 16 . Maybe I won't need clomid? My doctor was only pushing it because I usually ovulate so late...but this has been slowly getting better and better. He said if they could get me to ovulate at least by day 16, I would get pregnant- so my body did that in it's own last night, so technically I should get pregnant, right?

Well I won't hold my breath, but we'll see. I was really sure for you too Esbrick . I really hope you graduate from this thread soon, hopefully your doctors will be able to get you ready for whatever the best next step is for you guys.

 

[Kennywife]

Ok, I walked up the street to the drugstore and picked up a test and.......

nothing!!!!!! It's invalid! I get those a lot. OMG! Now, I gotta wait a few days and try again.

Uggg sorry Anna! Couple more days then!

 

[soontobewed07]

Well girls tomorrow I have my first U/S and bloodwork since starting the injections. I hope all goes well if not I will have to increase my shots to 2 vials a day. We are shooting for next Wed. or Friday for the IUI proceedure. YIKES!

 

[WDWorBUST]

Sorry Anna - although I'm impressed you have the willpower to buy a single pregnancy test....I'm always sucked in to the 2 or 3 packs at least

Well....my first RE appt was interesting. It took forever - although the office was very nice. He did do an exam and ultrasound and I have at least 1 (maybe 2) follicles on each side right now around 16mm - based on that he expects me to ovulate most likely on Saturday. I personally think it is more likely it will be later than that since I'm only cd 11 today and I've been ovulating on cd16 the last 2 months. He told us to bd every other day starting Friday (which to me is weird if he thinks I'll ovulate Saturday). Dh did have his SA done today and we both need to get bloodwork. Mine was 12 vials of blood and he hasn't been able to go for his yet....he will most likely go tomorrow. So we get results next Thursday and will go from there.

Hmm maybe it's cause the swimmers stay swimming for 24 hours right and that way you would be adding new swimmers after the other ones are done in which case Sunday could be an option as well! Science is so weird. . .

 

[esbrick]

OK so I guess I'm keeping a little hope alive. . . We went to a sushi place last night for dinner and I had a cooked tempura platter as opposed to my usual dragon roll. I'll test again on Friday but I still have the taunting AF symptoms that she is on her way for a visit Witch. . .

Thanks here's hoping.

The Appt. did not go well at all I went in and had 2 follicles one was 47mm and the other was 57mm. They think these are old and that the provera did not work and this cycle is a bust. They did blood work and if they are good they will do an IVF cycle instead. I am not sure what I want to do right now. I'm exhausted and everytime I go in the news is worse. I think if they come back bad then I am taking a few months off. Remember the God discussion well if this isn't him telling me things are not right then I don't what it is. My body is working backwards.

I thought the same thing before Christmas. Everything was stacked against us. I was sick, we were late for our appointmenst; U/S weren't happening. . . But then again, this time everything did fall into place and that's still up in the air so maybe not a God thing but a circumstance thing? Hard to make sence of it though when you're in the middle of it.
