to you Rachael.

 

[cherbear]

Anyone here right now? I'm exhausted and trying to stay awake.

 

[WDWorBUST]

Just checking in.....Cherbear I know you are in the 2WW too when are you testing? Who else is in the 2WW and when are you planning to test? I need to be able to look forward to happy news for you guys too. This is such a miserable journey, yet I think it does bring people who experience it together close. I have lots of good thoughts for you guys!!

My test date is March 9th (14 days past IUI) however I think I ovulated the day after the IUI so I may wait til Wednesday the 10th instead. I'm just so scared to test this time. I've had so much disappointment.

How about you?

 

[esbrick]

Hey ladies! I will hopefully (Can't believe I'm saying that!) start the 2WW on Saturday. Then I would test on the 20th. i was going to test on my b-day, the 16th, but I want Mike to be there and I'm flying to NY in the am, and to be honest if it's bad news I don't want to hear it, turning 39 is tramatic enough! I remeber that 29 was worse then 30 for some reason so I'm expecting this will be the same I think I am just gonna give myself a pass and have a nice liquid lunch with my mom on that day and try and hold out. I already told Mike that I will know by then anyway because my b00bs will give it away just like the previous 2 times.

Cher and Leger and WDW are up next for testing right?

 

[D&DDisney]

Maybe we should have a little chart going like the "moms to be" thread. ONly ours will be a 2ww and testing due date.
Cher - 2WW testing due 3/11
Esbrick - 2ww testing due on 3/20



Unfortunately, that would be too much maintenance for us.

 

[cherbear]

D&D you think I should wait til the 11th? I am planning on testing the 10th, hehe. (Even though I am supposed to test the 9th) Sorry if my post earlie was confusing.

Oops, sorry! Was just meant to be a sample.

If we start a list, I wouldn't mind setting it up. Just would have to have everyone adjust their own as we go along. Too confusing.

Sounds like a good plan! Then we can do baby dust bombs the day before testing just to confuse the witch!!

Hey, I know I'm nutz but at least I accept it! I wonder if the bourbon county stout i just had a sip of knocked me even more loopy then normal!

 

[WDWorBUST]

You guys are too funny. According to Fertility Friend I should test Sunday - 3/7. However that's only 13dpo.....however I know I will test then. I may test before then as far as that goes

Rachael...I am so very sorry. Heartbreaking news. Take some time to digest it before making any decisions on how to proceed. I'm not sure how I would feel about donors either. I think that's only natural. I've also struggled with adoption because I'm so afraid part of me would love my DS more than an adopted child. I doubt that would happen, but I can't help but think about it.

Good luck to all of you in the 2ww! I do check in on all of you frequently. There's a new pregnant girl on my floor at work, my co-worker's niece is TTC so I'm just waiting for that announcement any day now ....it's been rough!

After our trip, I think I'll be ready to jump back in and try injectables/iui. I realized this weekend that I wasn't ready to give up yet. DH mentioned selling the baby furniture in the extra bedroom and finally doing something with that room. When we moved in here back in 2006 we expected to get pregnant soon so didn't do anything with that bedroom. After DH said that, I completely and totally lost it. I couldn't stop sobbing. So I guess that's a huge sign that I'm not ready to give up. And I'm terrified I'll never be ready and be stuck with this sadness for the rest of my life.

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 sorry Rachel What a bitter pill to swallow... Maybe the more you discuss those options, the more you will feel comfortable persuing either one. I know i have considered adoption more than once. We even got approved...but I am still holding on the the prospect of having our "own" child...aka..me giving birth. But... I just have this feeling that the day is coming that I am going to have to choose the adoption route. My eggs are probably aging as I type this.. (33 yrs old) Life is so unfair .....I just cannot stand it sometimes.... just being around pregnant women makes me cringe. You mentioned therapy.....I think that is a great idea... I have been seeing a therapist this past year...despite the fact she became pregnant after I started seeing her... She actually has been a really great help to me mentally. Come to find out....she went to the same RE to get pregnant...that I am seeing now....how weird..lol....

Anyway.. dont give up hope... I'm sure your heart will steer you in the right direction

Good for you Skuttle for not giving up!! Welcome back to the TTC madness!!! We are here for you!!

I KNOW that feeling!!! Hope this is IT for you Cherbear!!!

 

[D&DDisney]

Miss ya Skuttle!!!!
My oldest son is adopted and I too worried about how I would love them both.
Its a different kind of love with each but its love to the fullest. Couldn't imagine life w/o either one. Although, some days they really try my patience.
And just because you adopt does not mean you are giving up hope for a birth child. Heck, sometimes it actually helps things along.

 

[cherbear]

Skuttle, I admire you for being persistent and going after what is in your heart!!!

I know it goes without saying but we are totally here for you! I'm excited for your trip and to hear about it when you come back too!

I can't believe that I am actually going to ask this but here goes. . . OK so I got US results this am and I have 2 good folllies on the right side and one smaller one on the left side. The Right tube is my tube that they are not sure if it is blocked or not. So my question is: Does it matter that if the case is that only my left tube is working but my follies are on the right side does that mean there is a slim chance for anything to happen OR are the tubes just the path way to both sides at the same time and it all depends on where it goes ones the spermies are on thier way?

 

[Kronk's girl]

I have no answer for you Esbrick, but I hope this cycle works for you- we are all rooting for you!

I know I mentioned it before but our doctor gave us a prescription for clomid because of my very long cycles and we were going to try it in May. But my cycles have been gradually getting shorter on their own (which hopefully continues)- so I am thinking maybe I should just leave my body alone...? If if is finally doing the right thing on it's own I am afraid to mess it up with medicine...

Ugh, this is all so much and it seems like I think about babies, getting pregnant, and how badly I want to be a mom all day long. I just can't seem to focus on anything else. I guess I just need to find a new project to keep me busy and we'll wait and see how my cycle goes this month.

Wishing you all the best- crossing my fingers for those in the TWW!!!

Esbrick, as far as I know, if a tube is blocked, unfortunately the eggs on that side will not go where they need to and can't be fertilized. Someone correct me if I'm wrong! Either way you have a follie on the left. What size is it?? And why do they think you might have a blocked right tube?? (oh I sooo hope it isn't!)
