I hope your upcoming appointments bring you good news, or at least a good plan!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: Good to hear!</p> <p>As for me, AF arrived last night. I'm pretty bummed. :( But I have my cupcake decorating class tonight, so I'm def. looking forward to that. Perhaps not the healthiest way to deal with things, but oh well! Bring on the buttercream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88/page/2#post-1014936 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 05:28:36 +0000 Shutterbug 1014936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: that's so great!! Im sure you already know this, but your risk of m/c goes WAY down once you see the heartbeat. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88/page/2#post-1014810 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 23:34:55 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1014810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Yay, great news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88/page/2#post-1014666 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 20:58:17 +0000 LovelyPlum 1014666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: welcome! Hoping for good news for you.</p> <p>So I had my ultrasound yesterday, and we saw a tiny, fluttering little heart beat :heart: Baby is measuring right on time at 6+1, and all looks good! I'm still quite scared, especially because I've had cramping since my appointment, but I'm trying to enjoy this gift we have been given. I still can't believe it. It is so surreal.</p> <p>Thank you for the support! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88/page/2#post-1014462 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:30:11 +0000 kentuckygirl 1014462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I read the posts about your DHs accident on WB and am glad he is doing well.

You're taking a huge step towards becoming parents and I remember from our days with the urologist that it's emotionally very difficult for men. Huge hugs to you both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88/page/2#post-1011187 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:17:58 +0000 FaithFertility 1011187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Any updates????

This is a very supportive group, lean on us when you need to :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1005592 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:13:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1005592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I'll be on them for about two weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1005559 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:47:31 +0000 macintosh 1005559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello there. I hope you don't mind if I join in :)</p> <p>My husband had a serious bicycle accident last December. At the time we has been TTC for 4 months. At this point he's doing much better but he still used a wheelchair. He hasn't been able to ejaculate since the accident.</p> <p>What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?<br /> 4 cycles before the accident. He has been home for 4 months and we haven't had any luck.</p> <p>What are your plans for this cycle?<br /> This cycle we decided to consult a specialist. I'm taking DH to a urologist.</p> <p>How is your attitude/outlook?<br /> I'm terrified, but this is only part if the reason as you can imagine. I got really emotional after I made the call to the specialist. I'm excited to get some help, but I'm afraid to get bad news.</p> <p>What have you struggled with most this week?<br /> Admitting to myself that it's time to get help.</p> <p>What is your diagnosis?<br /> None yet, expecting MF</p> <p>What do you do for comfort after a BFN or bad news?<br /> Eat :(. Unfortunately I've needed a lot if comfort on recent months so I've gained some weight. I really like restorative yoga to reduce stress, if I ever have time to get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1004276 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:10:27 +0000 MrsTal 1004276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheReelDeal: it is amazing how quickly it can creep up. I was excited that I was trying new stuff this cycle but then Oing so early just made me sad.</p> <p>The shot won't be as bad as you think, just think about the sweet baby possibility.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'm sorry you are going through this. I can only imagine how hard it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003587 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:09:39 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1003587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Oh no :( So sorry to hear this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003429 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:24:57 +0000 TheReelDeal 1003429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Yay ultrasounds! I'm so happy to hear you're feeling optimistic you should be enjoying these moments :heart: </p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: So sorry about you're going through this.</p> <p>@Shutterbug: I think you are totally testing too early! Don't count yourself out just yet!! </p> <p>@MrsTal: How easy does that negativity creep in??? Sometimes it just sneaks up on you. It only takes one, so maybe timing wasn't as bad as you think. </p> <p>My update: my eggy was not ready to go today, boo, it was at 17mm, which is awesome, and I will most likely trigger late tomorrow night with an IUI first thing Monday morning. I have to give myself the shot this time, I'm freaking out!! Please tell me it's not as bad as I'm picturing it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003366 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:00:03 +0000 Sunshine1810 1003366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I am so sorry for your loss! I hope that you and your DH are still able to enjoy some time together to celebrate your special day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003344 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 08:54:09 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1003344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Sorry you're having a rough time :( I totally understand, yesterday was our 3rd anniversary and I was expecting to have a LO by now. I hope you're able to enjoy the day anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003183 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:51:01 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1003183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: with my first, I didn't get a pos until 12 DPO! There is still hope :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003180 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1003180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC?<br /> TTC baby #2 since spring 2013</p> <p>What are your plans for this cycle?<br /> None - we have to sit the next one or two out.</p> <p>How is your attitude/outlook?<br /> Angry, frustrated, sad.</p> <p>What have you struggled with most this week?<br /> I got a second BFP earlier this week only to have a loss confirmed by a beta. We are not happy. Today is our 5th wedding anniversary. I was hoping to be pregnant. </p> <p>What is your diagnosis?<br /> PCOS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003176 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:48:36 +0000 Sunshine1810 1003176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: I wouldn't lose hope, 10dpiui is very early. I hear of lots of people not getting their bfp until 13-14 dpiui. Fingers crossed for you!!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: Thank you! I am sorry to hear you have been so sick, but it is so nice to see that your betas are great!!!! Definitely update after the ultrasound!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1003157 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:41:40 +0000 MrsTal 1003157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: So exciting! Hope the u/s goes well, everything sounds like it's going great!</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Temps sound promising! I had a big temp dip today (6 dpo) hoping its an implantation dip but its kind of early, plus I think my mouth was open last night. Only time will tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1002765 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:57:22 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1002765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: so nice, thanks!</p> <p>@MrsTal: I know, I was doing that too! My temp was stuck mostly at 97.9 for days, then today (10dpo) it shot up to 98.17! Trying not to get my hopes up...!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: Thanks! Cant' wait to hear about your u/s! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1002652 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 23:17:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1002652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi loves! Popping in to see how everyone is this week.</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: That's good, I think! But I agree, also frustrating. Hoping for a great TWW for you-fast, and with good results! And seriously, your trip sounds like so much fun!</p> <p>@Shutterbug: dude. I am excited for your update. I really hope that your subsequent testing brings good things!!</p> <p>@Leialou: YAY for meds coming! So exciting! Explain it to a newbie, if you don't mind-how long will you be on them?</p> <p>@Sunshine1810: glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. And a date night with DH sounds like just the ticket after bad news.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: is it weird to say I'm hopeful that AF shows on time? Because I am glad you're going to be back at it! Hoping you have something fun to distract you on would-be due date day. </p> <p>@spaniellove: glad you're not focusing too much on it. Anything fun going on to take your mind off?</p> <p>@TheReelDeal: yay-good luck on Saturday! And I hear you on not liking the "why me?" moments. They're not helpful, but they are understandable.</p> <p>@justdarling: yay! Good luck!! And I do love me some sushi.</p> <p>@kentuckygirl: ugh, insurance. But yay for moving forward! Feeling hopeful for you!</p> <p>@brownie: good luck on Wednesday! So exciting!</p> <p>@alie: good luck at the new job! How's it going?</p> <p>@MrsTal: good luck during your TWW! Hope it flies!</p> <p>As for me...</p> <p>I'm hanging in at 5+3. Really grateful to be here, but also really sick. I've got meds now, which I am hoping will help, but they don't take it away entirely. Visiting family this weekend, so I'm trying to enjoy every moment!</p> <p>Oh! And the good news-I totally forgot to update last week! My betas from Saturday were excellent-495, and they wanted them at 500. AND, the best part: the nurse casually mentioned that they wanted an ultrasound. So, one is scheduled for Monday at 2:00-I'll be 6 weeks, so maybe we'll get to see something! I'm a little scared, because an impromptu ultrasound at 6w last time told us that baby wasn't there. BUT, this feels so totally different than last time that it's hard not to be optimistic. I'm really excited about Monday. I promise I'll update! </p> <p>Hugs to all :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1001764 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:05:05 +0000 kentuckygirl 1001764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: I agree that 10 dpiui is too early to worry. Hoping that things change in a couple more days. Fingers and toes crossed!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1001740 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:01:37 +0000 kentuckygirl 1001740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Thanks for the encouragement! We miss you around here but hope you are doing well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1001453 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:05:14 +0000 MrsTal 1001453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What cycle are you on/how long have you been TTC? Since spring 2012</p> <p>What are your plans for this cycle? Been using softcups, taking B complex, temping currently in the TWW I think.</p> <p>How is your attitude/outlook? Meh. I don't think our timing was great this month, according to my chart I O'd CD 13 which is a bit earlier than expected.</p> <p>What have you struggled with most this week? Feeling just negative, I'm already looking at next cycle and DH's travel schedule.</p> <p>What is your diagnosis? Unknown</p> <p>What do you do for comfort after a BFN or bad news? Eat crap and have a good cry.</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I've had weird temps too. I keep thinking my thermometer is broken but then I take a temp later and it's higher, so who knows.</p> <p>@justdarling: it's so exciting that your retrieval is next week! Eeek!</p> <p>@Leialou: Awesome you are starting IVF this cycle! Hope it all goes well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1001260 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:08:00 +0000 Shutterbug 1001260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: :)</p> <p>@FaithFertility: thanks!

When I was being monitored for IUI I was taking gonal-f measured about 3 mature, then 2 days layer 4 mature and about 7 follicles at about it 10 then all of the sudden two days later I went to having about 13 mature with about four almost there needless to say IUI was cancelled :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-88#post-1001164 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:37:57 +0000 FaithFertility 1001164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alie: Ughhh I'm sorry about all the people asking you about children..isn't it the worst?!?! </p>
