I knew all of you would understand how something like this could hurt so much.</p> <p>@theswisswifestyle: thank you, I haven’t been to the doctor. I was going to make an appointment but my period came yesterday so there’s no point now</p> <p>@sweetooth: thank you. I just got my period yesterday so I haven’t been to the doctor. I’m not really sure where this puts us as far as TTC now. I feel pretty crushed by the whole thing, I actually can’t believe how much it affected me! But, I don’t know if it will pass or not. I guess we’ll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777757 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 08:17:26 +0000 doxielove 1777757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: @Boopers: Congrats, ladies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777610 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 07:28:00 +0000 Happygal 1777610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: yeah! Congrats!! How did you share the news with your husband?</p> <p>@lazypanda: hugs friend. I'm sorry AF is on the way. I always think this is the worst part of the cycle--just waiting.

So many BFPs for July! FX for a Happy and Healthy 9 months! :heart: :bfp: :heart: </p> <p>@mrswin: yay for the great numbers, looking forward to your next update. :goodluck: </p> <p>@alohaorchid: I'm so sorry for the rapid change in circumstances! That really sucks and I hope you and DH get good news the next go around, if that is what you wish to do. :heart: </p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Welcome! The ladies on here are very supportive and have a wealth of knowledge regarding the methods they have tried. I've already had 2 IUIs and needed to take a break from meds to recharge myself and go back to being "me." We put our bodies (and minds) through so much stress and trauma already that its best to go with what you feel is right for you. Good luck with whichever route you wish to pursue, and take comfort in knowing that we are all here to help support one another. :heart: </p> <p>AFM, BFN this morning and I had a brown streak on my pantyliner but no brown when I wiped. :bummed: Not sure if AF is supposed to arrive soon given that I am cd37 now. A part of me is hoping that it's implantation bleeding but 14dpo seems pretty late for implantation. We'll see what my acupuncturist has to say tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777188 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:05:12 +0000 FaithFertility 1777188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: Seeing BFPs in this thread make me smile!!!!!<br /> Huge congratulations!!!!!<br /> Prayers for a healthy and happy 9 months :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777178 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:01:33 +0000 lazypanda 1777178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:bfp: BFP :bfp:<br /> Faithfertility: Due Date 12/17, saw heartbeat 5/1!<br /> LittleK<br /> Bhbee: saw heartbeat 5/22!<br /> Catchafallingstar: EDD 1/15/15<br /> EmilyE: BFP 5/12, saw sac on 5/20, beta #1: 79, beta #2: 226, beta#3<br /> TheReelDeal<br /> Happygal: BFP 5/15 beta #1: 36, beta #2: 238<br /> PastaAndPotato: BFP beta #1: 9.4, beta #2: 151, beta #3: 456!<br /> Snowdrop<br /> MrsTal: EDD: 2/7, Beta#1: 26, Beta #2: 89<br /> Mrs Bunchy: BFP 7/8/14, Beta #1: 44.2 Beta #2: 324, u/s 7/18<br /> FliegepilzHut: BFP 7/15<br /> GreenThumb: BFP 7/21<br /> Boopers: BFP 7/23</p> <p><b>Hanging Out</b><br /> Mrs. Polish: 6 month wait list for new doctor<br /> Septca<br /> TheSwissWifeStyle<br /> Mrs. Piñata: using some essential oils and Vitex; seeing chiropractor and Naturopath; re-evaluating in Sept/Oct<br /> Leialou<br /> doxielove<br /> Kelli_Deluxe<br /> Sunshine1810<br /> CupQuakeWalk<br /> PurplePumps: unmedicated cycle, then start IVF next cycle<br /> AmeliaBedilia</p> <p>:goodluck: <b> TWW</b> :goodluck:<br /> lazypanda: HSG, unmedicated cycle, acupuncture<br /> TheSwissWifeStyle<br /> Winter_Wonder: Femara, IUI#1<br /> BeeBee: Femara, ovidrel, IUI #1<br /> babycanuck</p> <p>:heart: <b>Treatments/Tests/Appointments</b> :heart:<br /> alohaorchid: new RE appt in June<br /> MrsWin: ER 7/22 retrieved 17!, f/u 7/24<br /> Jenn23: IVF in late July<br /> Shutterbug: waiting for results<br /> Just_Ju: moving onto IVF in August (yay insurance!)<br /> Macintosh: start stims on 8/3, ER 8/14 for IVF with ICSI<br /> babycanuck: 7DPO progesterone test on 7/30, results appt with dr on 8/12<br /> Robyn_ZA: lap on 7/16, IVF consult 7/29<br /> Warbler: will be setting up appt with RE for IVF with ICSI<br /> owlteach: RE appt 8/18<br /> Kelli_Deluxe: looking for new RE in AZ<br /> bluestripedbee: Femara, CD9 u/s, IUI#3<br /> LindsayInNY: Clomid, IUI<br /> FliegepilzHut: u/s and f/u appt 7/30</p> <p><b>:grin: Life &amp; Updates :wink: </b><br /> alohaorchid: brand new house being built, new job?<br /> doxielove: house hunting in the fall<br /> Sunshine1810: new golden puppy Isis!<br /> Boopers: new job!<br /> TheSwissWifeStyle: getting new tattoo of koi and lotus<br /> owlteach: Europe 2016 with students<br /> bluestripedbee: Disney World in August!<br /> Kelli_Deluxe: seeing DH during long weekend and in September during fertile window before deployment; moving to AZ<br /> PurplePumps: FL trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777145 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:42:23 +0000 winter_wonder 1777145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: Congrats!!!!

After my DH's SA results we saw he had low progressive motility so we made sure to BD EOD from day 11 to a positive OPK on day 17, so we hit CD 11, 13, 15, and 17. I freaked out when I saw how late I got a positive OPK because my last cycle was only 25 days.</p> <p>DH was taking a men's multivitamin that he saw had lots of stuff recommended to help boost motility. Not sure if that helped. We also used preseed externally and enjoyed a vacation during the first half of my cycle. </p> <p>I am confident for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777049 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:56:38 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1777049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: OMG! Congratulations! I really appreciated your earlier post, love having someone with a similar story, and your BFP gives me hope! Did you do anything special this cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1777038 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:52:30 +0000 Boopers 1777038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, decided to test today after my earlier post on a wondfo and got a positive. Bought two tests later and it's confirmed. Ahhh! </p> [attach=1843/14/n96vnk.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1776753 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 15:58:19 +0000 winter_wonder 1776753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: Wow, what a roller coaster :( I'm so sorry that happened. How crushing :( </p> <p>@ameliabedilia: Thinking of you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1775734 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:43:04 +0000 Boopers 1775734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: welcome! I've been following you for a while and we have very similar timelines and testing outcomes. I stopped posting on the POAS threads and decided to just stay here and I really like how supportive everyone is!</p> <p>We have been trying 15 months and 17 cycles. My cycles have been a little wacky too. Right now I'm on CD 29 waiting for AF, but last month was a 25 day cycle with three days of spotting before AF, so I understand your frustration!!</p> <p>We are set on doing an HSG this next cycle and will go as far as IUI if needed, but we will not do IVF for financial and personal reasons. DA had a sperm analysis done that my obgyn thought was questionable but the urologist wasn't concerned. He's doing a repeat SA this week, so we'll see if his numbers change. My obgyn also said my bloodwork and labs are all fine. We aren't ready for an RE and are sticking with my obgyn as long as we can.</p> <p>I also left an incredibly stressful job and having this summer off has helped, but we still aren't pregnant either. I think that not being pregnant yet despite lowered stress levels, I see benefits elsewhere. My mental health has improved as well as my relationship with DH. </p> <p>We are all here for you and I hope you continue posting and sharing your story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1775731 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:41:43 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1775731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: just wanted to say hi :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1775729 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:40:16 +0000 BSB 1775729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: Thanks! I was hoping someone would have a better memory. Oh, Hotchildinthecity mentioned she did not want to persue treatment and she is now in the adoption process. Not sure if adoption is something you would consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1775721 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:36:57 +0000 sweetooth 1775721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: Thinking lots of positive thoughts for you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/5#post-1775715 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:35:47 +0000 sweetooth 1775715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: Hugs! What a roller coaster! Do you think that the feelings that the positive tests made you and your husband feel will change your mind about TTC again? Also, like @TheSwissWifeStyle asked, did you go to the doctor after those positives? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-0717/page/4#post-1775711 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:34:18 +0000 sweetooth 1775711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Hello :heart: I just wanted to follow-up on what @bluestriped bee said, there are some IF ladies who went the naturopath route.
