I'm sorry. I think people just don't know what to say. They feel like giving some advice is the best thing to do. That's lousy advice though and hurtful. I'm sorry.</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: I understand. I have friends talking about going for #2, some who starting trying for #1 around the same time I did! What is also hard for me is how confidently they can talk about their plans. "We're going to TTC for #2 so they'll be 2 years apart." No worries about infertility or anything like that. It's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1259716 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 14:46:23 +0000 BSB 1259716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So is it just me but I'm feeling a little bummed out at all the threads started by users who are starting to TTC again for baby #2. </p> <p>I'm so happy for them but it just sucks that I'm still struggling to conceive my first. Every time someone gets pregnant with their first, I give myself a little hope that I will get pregnant before they start TTC for their next. I need to stop comparing myself to other people. Two years ago, the purpose was to give myself hope and motivation that I will get pregnant soon. Now, it's not hope. It's now disappointment. Ugh!! Holidays pregnancy announcements don't bother me but it's the holiday or new year TTC announcements that bum me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1257591 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:24:49 +0000 FaithFertility 1257591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: Yay, I was always a little crampy after our IUIs.....best of luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1257584 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:23:35 +0000 FaithFertility 1257584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: AMEN!!!! I have got the adoption talk even from my own mom.......I mean I think adoption is wonderful I am just not there yet, you would think they would wait for you to bring up the subject.........like any hardship in life if the other person has not gone through it the totally don't understand even if they try </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1257544 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:11:26 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1257544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a minor vent... I love having supportive friends that can listen to me when I need to talk. But seriously, stop asking me whether or not we've considered surrogacy. Two people in the last few weeks :P The first was my cousin, very bluntly said "how much do surrogates cost?" The second was much more gentle, but its still not something I want to hear. I'm not ready to give up on the idea of carrying my own child and breastfeeding :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1255301 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 06:01:31 +0000 FaithFertility 1255301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Morning, but it doesn't matter it is still messy, def buy panty liners. ...... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1255119 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 22:49:27 +0000 Shutterbug 1255119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: ugh I just googled Crinone... I want my Endometrin back!! :( looks messy. Do you do it at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1255049 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:51:37 +0000 SunshineMcC 1255049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: so glad to hear the IUI went well!! Good luck! May your wait go by quickly!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254767 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:35:27 +0000 FaithFertility 1254767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: @Shutterbug: ohhh crinone....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254715 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:05:20 +0000 spaniellove 1254715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Oh but wait! You reminded me that I have one syringe of Ganirelix and an unopened vial of Lupron...I swear I've accumulated the most random collection of supplies. Do you have any use for those? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254706 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:00:00 +0000 Shutterbug 1254706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: bummer, just got my meds list and it's Gonal-F, Ganirelix and Crinone. Although I'd rather someone paying OOP gets them from you anyway - how sweet of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254639 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:12:23 +0000 spaniellove 1254639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if anyone reading this thread thinks they'll be using Endometrin and Menopur sometime in the next few months. I have a few boxes of Endometrin and 2 vials of Menopur that need a new home. Normally I'd hold on to it a little longer but the expiration date on the Menopur is 5/2014 and that stuff is too expensive to waste! So, anyone?</p> <p>(ETA: not selling...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254636 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:08:37 +0000 spaniellove 1254636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I'm sorry they're keeping you in the dark about what's going on. :sad: </p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: @Happygal: I don't know anything about this but looking at my past numbers I don't think you could shed your entire lining! I always seemed to have 6-7mm on CD3. Maybe your lining grew thicker in the past? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254411 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:26:14 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1254411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Strange. Is there a such thing as not shedding your whole lining each time? I have no clue, just wondering if somehow you're keeping most of it and just growing a little each time. Not sure this is even possible. Paging Dr. @spaniellove: ! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127/page/2#post-1254374 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:09:07 +0000 just_ju 1254374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: @Shutterbug: thank you for thinking of me today :)</p> <p>IUI went well. Hubby's post-wash count was great according to the RE, so that's exciting. I've been having cramps on righty, where both follicles were - definitely some action going on down there :). And now we wait some more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253694 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:42:27 +0000 Happygal 1253694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: my lining before I triggered last time was at 8, and it should have gotten a little thicker. I don't know why my periods are so light, but 5 years or so ago, they weren't this way. I'm glad to hear the Lovenox is going well. I don't have bruises, but I do have some dry skin patches where jeans have caused a problem this winter. </p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: not lame. It's totally normal to be hopeful for miracles. I think the internet adds to this, at least for me--I can google "BFN at 14 dpo but pregnant later" and find people who have this story, and then hope it will be my story, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253587 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:16:04 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1253587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: No, not lame at all. We've all been there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253577 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:13:50 +0000 Shutterbug 1253577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: good luck with your IUI!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253575 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:13:46 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1253575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I know, and the weird thing is that we did betas after the 2nd loss. ::sigh:: So fed up. lol</p> <p>I took an hpt on Nov 14 or 15 and still got a pretty good line. I don't have any cheapies left here, and "real ones" are expensive to buy :( </p> <p>Is it sad that there's like 2% of my brain thinking/hoping that I'm still pg? Rolling my eyes at how lame I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253571 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:11:24 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1253571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Its still going well, thankfully. Though yesterday I was in a car for 3 hours wearing jeans fresh out of the dryer, so I think it caused a bunch of bruising. Luckily today is a normal work day, so PJs it is :) I saw your AF was still pretty light... Did you get any news about how your lining did this month?</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Boo :( I hesitate to ask... But have you taken an HPT to see if you have a measurable amount of HcG left? Your doctors should have taken betas to watch it go down, but I know things are different over there...</p> <p>And a mini-update... I did a progesterone pool the past 3 days (my poor arms!) My first day's results are back, 11.2! The best I've gotten so far. I should get the other 2 tomorrow I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253541 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:05:27 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1253541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I have no idea! AF hasn't come since the mc. And I didn't get betas or anything at my last appointment. I'm a little annoyed that i don't know what's going on right now :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1253528 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 12:02:59 +0000 Happygal 1253528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: that's a beautiful way to phrase it--writing a story together. Nice.</p> <p>@mrs. someone: how is lovenox treating you?</p> <p>@just_ju: thinking of you today! Let us know how the IUI went.</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: what CD are you on now? I'm so sorry this is such a rough time for you, but I am glad you're doing what needs to be done to care for yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1252206 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:58:55 +0000 FaithFertility 1252206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: Super easy, and quick!

Planning to update tomorrow afternoon :)</p> <p>@FaithFertility: yep, I'm an IUI newbie. Checking one more thing off the list! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1252059 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 12:29:56 +0000 FaithFertility 1252059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: Yay, will be thinking of you! Is this your first IUI ever?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1251870 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 08:23:25 +0000 Happygal 1251870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@just_ju: that is a long visit! Even with best friends, I'm ready to have an empty house after awhile. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow--let us know how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1251817 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 02:09:26 +0000 just_ju 1251817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really late to the party this week - we've had house guests since Tuesday. I'm looking forward to an empty house!</p> <p>I am thankful for my husband, for the amazingly supportive IF friends I've made here on HB and elsewhere, and I'm very thankd for reproductive technology and doctors and science. :)</p> <p>I have a kind of big update: I triggered on 11/30 at 11:30pm, and my first IUI is scheduled for Monday at 11:30 am (CST). I'm nervous and excited - hopefully at least 1 of my 2 good looking follicles lead to a :bfp: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1251245 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 14:24:39 +0000 mrs bunchy 1251245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am thankful for my wonderful husband, and the life we have. I have been thinking about our journey a lot lately, and I think we have written a great story thus far. =)</p> <p>Any updates? I am on cycle day 14. I will be getting my progesterone blood draw next Friday... so in the waiting game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1127#post-1250937 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 08:27:28 +0000 Happygal 1250937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: hi! I was just thinking about you the other day and I'm glad you checked in with us. I'm so sorry for your loss and a lack of a strong doctor and guidance. I'm eager to hear what the new doctor may have to say! </p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: yeah! I'm glad the shot was no big deal. </p>
