Like if he was just normal, he'd be in the clear and everything would be ok. Buuuuut noooooooooooo, he's over here putting out the Michael Phelps of sperm 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842748 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 21:45:07 +0000 yellowbeach 2842748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: when we first had DHs swimmers 🏊🏻 tested we had the same results, and he had the SAME reaction. Even let out a sigh of relief and did a happy dance, and then immediately realized that was just a wee bit insensitive and hurtful. They couldn’t even just be average/normal but had to be excellent. 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842741 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 21:16:12 +0000 Sams Mom 2842741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: @Kaohinani: as predicted he was very pleased with himself. Kept referencing his superior swimmers 🙄 I told him I still might strangle him, even if it's not his fault 🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842721 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 19:09:22 +0000 Kaohinani 2842721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Ah, so you feel my pain! 😂 Thank goodness I'm not alone! 😉<br /> I'm a fairly professional and "put-together" chick on the regular but at night I let loose ... unfortunately, my phone sees it all (😯😉) and I'm regretting it because it not only recognizes my "ugly face" but it asked me if I wanted a "bedtime reminder" for 10 pm because it appears that is when I go to bed. 🤣 #CreepyPhone #AI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842720 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:56:49 +0000 Sams Mom 2842720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: HA! I don't have face recognition on my pixel, but I was sitting at my table with my hair in a towel yelling at my kid in the basement to let go of the kittens tail waiting to pull dinner out of the oven 🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842716 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:44:12 +0000 Kaohinani 2842716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>COMPLETELY off topic (what's new there 😉😂), but is a bad sign if your phone recognizes you via "visual recognition" for your biometric passcode when you have no makeup on, dark under eye circles, hair in a towel after washing it, while yelling at your 10-year-old to let the puppy in from outside?!?!? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 #classy #IOnlyHopeTheyDontRecordThisStuff<br /> #LookingSoFantatisticMyNote9KnowsMeEyeroll </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842711 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 17:46:36 +0000 MamaBear87 2842711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: this is exactly why I drug my feet about getting hubby tested 😂 I'm sure he would have flying sperm</p> <p>But not having a reason for it taking so long sucks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842704 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 17:01:15 +0000 Kaohinani 2842704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Hun, I'm sure there is nothing "WRONG" with you. The ovum and his spermies just aren't meeting up and making the perfect Sam 2.0. You both are young and do it like bunnies 🐰. It will happen... I know, so cliche, and NOT helpful. I'm sorry. 🙁 Just stay positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842702 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 16:57:29 +0000 Kaohinani 2842702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Happy dance!!!! 💃 (Can I uncross my eyes, fingers, and toes now?!?!?!I look even weirder than I normally do! 🤡) Lol. I BET he is being Cocky ... DH was as well. Total guy thing. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842700 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 16:42:26 +0000 Sams Mom 2842700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy there is nothing wrong with him, but that puts it back in camp something wrong with me :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842698 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 16:39:48 +0000 Sams Mom 2842698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: @Kaohinani: Well, the ass is exceedingly above expectations in all categories... He will be so proud of himself. *I can't roll my eyes hard enough* He is exceedingly above expectations in everything... He sucks. #notbitterbutkindofbitter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842685 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 15:20:28 +0000 MamaBear87 2842685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: oh I know you don't want to leave your doc. I'm just saying unless you're doing iui you're better off with the old fashioned way ☺</p> <p>Whatever makes you feel better today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842684 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 15:18:07 +0000 Sams Mom 2842684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: The crappy thing about IUI is I have to give up my doctor to get one. :( I know I get to go back to him once I am pregnant, and his office/practice whatever you want to call it does offer IUI, but he said the lab sucks at prepping it because they have never got anyone pregnant doing it... Not one single woman. </p> <p>I'm just tired of the monthly disappointment. bleh</p> <p>So to distract myself from my impending period, I am working on writing my appointment questions "pretty" and have already shredded 4 copies (insert monkey covering eyes here) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842683 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 15:12:29 +0000 MamaBear87 2842683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: the best way at home of getting sperm up there is the old fashioned way. Iui is different because they're putting the sperm past the cervix.</p> <p>Spend the money you would on the Mosie on something nice for you ☺ a massage or something </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842672 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:22:18 +0000 Kaohinani 2842672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: You're only as crazy as the next person.<br /> P.S. I'm "the next person." 😂🤣😂🤣😂<br /> I've "just looked 'just in case'." I think my husband is patient going the "natural" route and letting me go crazy on fertility meds and herbs/massage/etc because he fears I'll attack him with a turkey baster next [before moving onto our single shot of IUI]. 😯🤣🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842671 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:17:30 +0000 Sams Mom 2842671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: nooooo, I don't know what all they have to send out from our lab if anything? I hope I get everything at once, because when I had to wait for my AMH on my initial workup because it takes longer or had to be outsourced, or whatever I went a little crazy waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842670 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:13:36 +0000 BadgerMom 2842670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Just an FYI, we got volume, count, motility, etc. numbers by the end of the day, but they had to send it out for morphology which took quite a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842669 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:13:00 +0000 Sams Mom 2842669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: If not we should be :P</p> <p>So in all of my crazy lady research I have come across another new at home insemination gig. I ruled out the Stork OTC because it looked kind of scary and it might traumatize my husband helping me use it... So now I am on to the Mosie Baby vaginal syringe... Because you know, sane people research at home insemination (at least I am leaving the turkey baster out of it). Also I don't even know if it would help my cause at the moment, but depending on how my appointment goes this month, and the analysis results... I might try the Mosie Baby a couple times next cycle along with the usual timed intercourse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842668 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:06:24 +0000 Kaohinani 2842668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I SWEAR we must be related (somehow, someway). 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842667 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:04:44 +0000 Sams Mom 2842667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: HA! Thank you! I am already neurotically checking my health portal to see if they have posted the results. Even though I know that my doctor or his nurse will call me ASAP... Because, well they know I'm neurotic. Ahhhhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842666 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:59:20 +0000 Kaohinani 2842666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for good results .... I look very odd doing this at the moment. Don't expect me to hold everything crossed until tomorrow. 😉😁 Bahahahaha! 🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842665 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:58:41 +0000 Sams Mom 2842665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: I still have my CBD from my son. :|<br /> The packet said the battery on a positive lasts for 6 months, mine lasted until one of the days I was in the hospital for my c-section because it was still on when I left at 4 AM, but dead when I got back. I don't know why looking at it all the time was reassuring when I could feel him moving around, but it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842664 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:57:15 +0000 Kaohinani 2842664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wonderwoman: I'm so sorry about your BFN. 😫 I'm fairly close in age to you so I understand your fertility concerns and rush at this stage. Allow yourself a day (or two ... or three) to mourn and then move on to the prospect that another month is another chance to get to know your body EVEN better and embrace the process (as stressful as it may be). Stay positive. 🧡 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842663 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:56:52 +0000 Sams Mom 2842663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To quote my husband, "The deposit has been made" now I should hear results on his analysis this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed everything is ok, or at the very least there are traces of white blood cells in it to indicate it is the prostate infection, and thus easier to correct than other swimmer issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842662 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:53:34 +0000 Kaohinani 2842662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: Yay! I LOVE seeing the word "Pregnant." 🤗😁 Pee on as many HPTs as you want, hun ... I never tire of looking at them. 😂</p> <p>IDK about wearing a device in my who-ha ... at this point, I'm getting a little tired of things (* scopes, speculums, swabs, CM checks and even my husband) up "in there." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842661 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:48:59 +0000 Kaohinani 2842661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: Thank you! I've never heard of that but it sounds cool ... I'm going to look into it! 👍😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2018-poas/page/26#post-2842659 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:28:10 +0000 BadgerMom 2842659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: I used a tempdrop and really liked it. It's more basic than an Ava. It's simply a wearable thermometer that you wear on our arm or in your bra and takes your temperature continuously at night The temps get put into an algorithm, and it spits out an accurate single temperature in the morning when you sync it, and then you put that temp into whatever app you want just like a regular bbt. </p> <p><a href="https://tempdrop.xyz/" rel="nofollow">https://tempdrop.xyz/</a> </p>
