New TTC Thread

[esbrick]

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!)

I have 2 small follies on the left and 2 big ones on the right. When I had my HSG the Left follie let the dye go through the right one didn't, however, DRK said it could have spazed and he couldn't say conclusively that it was blocked. Cher ~I believe you are right cause I just looked on ASK.com and got close to the same answer. She said that there were 2 on the left but one was only 12 and the other was very small and she didn't know which of any of them was the left over from last cycle. She wasn't very helpful to be honest.

So I'm guessing that I will have to just wait and see. The RN did tell me that the follie could grow more over the next couple of days I'm going to stay positive We have an iui scheduled for 8:00 AM tomorrow morning.

Going to DH's highschool reunion this eveing and then I think we are going to see Alice and Wonderland tomorrow night which will be a good distraction. I'm thinking that since Meg isn't with us I will go to the Upstairs church this Sunday and not the "family" mass. Survival of the fittest!!

How's everyone feelin?

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.

Okay THAT made me laugh. However it sure would help those like me that are lurking...waiting for some BFPs on here

wishing for some baby dust for everybody

So, AF showed up this morning. Which is fine because we want to hold off for a couple of more months so I can enjoy our October trip (as much as possible) and lose a few more pounds (like 20).

Esbrick I wish I could help dut I don't know the answer to your question.

Thanls for listening!

So did you trigger? A trigger would ensure that the eggs that are big enough will ALL come out. So I sure hope you had your trigger!

Good luck tomorrow!!!

Well girls I caved and tested today at 12dpo and to my shock I saw the faintest of faint lines. Wasn't really convinced though. So while we were out today I picked up a FRER test and tested again tonight and it was definitely a BFP. I'm cautiously optimistic and excited. Not sure if I really believe it yet or not.

 

[Kronk's girl]

AHHHHH!!!!

Finally!! I am soooo happy for you WDWorBust- this was just what we all needed! Wishing you the happiest, healthiest 9 months!!! Congrats! And don't forget to pop in every once in a while and share good news along the way

[WDWorBUST]

Thanks everyone!! I'm really excited....but still cautious.

Cherbear - I know you were right with me - have you tested yet? (of course I tested early)

WDW - Congrats!!!

Kenny - What a crummy day for you. So sorry!!!!

 

[cherbear]

Cherbear - I know you were right with me - have you tested yet? (of course I tested early)

I understand being cautious but glad you are feeling excited too. Are you throwing up yet? hehe

No, I have not tested. I am very scared. I do not want to test early -- but honestly I don't want to test at all. I'd so much rather go in for a blood test. But since my Dr. doesn't schedule the betas, I'll have to pee on a stick this week. (I requested a beta last time so I'm sure I could do that this time too but I don't have the time to go there on my "test day")
I am seriously thinking of waiting til Friday which would be 17 dpIUI. I've never been this frightened to test.

 

[cherbear]

Anna I'm really sorry about AF. But glad you can at least move on to the next cycle, wonder why she took so long to arrive? And sorry about the sickies, yuck. Heh yeah...but that's NOT a fun way to lose weight!!

 

[Leger13]

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 am hurting for you. So sorry to hear this!! For you. I totally kwym about how you feel on the donor situation. I know I would feel the same. It's so hard to make the decision on donor stuff. I hope that you will find some peace with this and be able to make the best decision for you and your DH.

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?

Well I hope this 2WW proves awesome for you!! GL girl!

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.

GL to you!! Don't give up until you are 100% ready! Going through this is so hard, I know but you need to keep at it until you can find a place in your heart where you can be okay with the life that you have.

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?

I read somewhere (not sure where) that if one tube is blocked, it is possible for the other tube to pick up the egg. I'm not sure if that is 100% true though. You might want to ask your dr.

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!!!

I have normal cycles and thought the Clomid would totally jack me up but it really didn't. My cycle was still very normal so I would think if anything, the Clomid could just help you more with getting your cycles on track. And I totally kwym about thinking about babies and being a mom all day long. It's hard not to think about it. Maybe try finding a good book that you can get lost in. I know that has been helping me a ton.

omg CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad we FINALLY have some good news on this thread!!!!! I hope this is a sticky bean for you and that you have a H&H 9 months ahead of you!!!
