Looks like it's time for a February page- I'll start one!

Do you work close to him? Would he let you make the appointment for him and then both go together and then do lunch to ensure that he does it! boys can be so frustrating some time.. It certainly isn't a fun place to be when you feel all alone :crying: It's ok to be sad - I just hope your husband realizes how much this affects you and does something to help move the process along. ballerinabee on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2057184 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 10:08:05 +0000 ballerinabee 2057184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NorthStar: That really stinks that an RE is so far away from you. Maybe your OB would be willing to consult with the RE and do some of the interventions up where you are? That's so frustrating. AF showed bright and early this morning, so I'm on to cycle 23 of TTC. I can't get my freaking DH to go get his blood work done and the RE won't meet with us until all of the test results are in. I know he's stressed and busy with work, and he's 4 years younger than me, so he doesn't really GET IT, but I'm just at the end of my rope today. We're going to waste another cycle waiting for his stupid blood tests. I'm having a hard time being positive today. Sitting at my desk crying, which is awkward.

The problem I have is that I don't think that there is an RE in my town and I'm 2 hours from Minneapolis. Plus, I'm just starting tax season, so I'm not sure how I would even get down there, except on a Sunday, which wouldn't work :bummed: Unfortunately, I'm kind of stuck. Depending upon how this cycle goes, maybe I'll try making an appointment in Minneapolis for April or something. ballerinabee on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2055905 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 13:57:38 +0000 ballerinabee 2055905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NorthStar: Can you get in to see the RE? 18+ months is a looooong time. Granted, we didn't get to the RE until we'd been trying for 20 months, but that was because DH was being stubborn and was convinced it would "just happen".

At least you have a plan to meet with someone! I'm not even to that point and we've been trying for 18 months, I think. I lost count.. ballerinabee on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2055516 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:18:50 +0000 ballerinabee 2055516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bluestriped bee: Congrats on this board too! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear if it's twins :grin: @NorthStar: I caved and tested this morning, 10dpo. BFN. Again. I'm honestly not sure why I torture myself anymore. 22 months in, I should know better. I have to have blood work drawn & do my 24 hour urine collection this weekend and then we meet with the RE to make a plan. raspberries on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2055344 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 09:51:38 +0000 raspberries 2055344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bluestriped bee: Yay, so happy for you!!!!!!!

And yes, I'm itching to test! I resisted this morning (9dpo) because I'm tired of seeing BFNs. I have a lot of symptoms, but I don't put any stock in them anymore after 3 BFN-but-symptom-full cycles last year... I'm trying to decide if I'm going to test tomorrow at 10dpo (I have 20 wondfo cheapies).

I'm still not feeling much in way of symptoms, although, did have some cramping last night. How are you feeling? Itching to test :wink: NorthStar on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2053936 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:46:13 +0000 NorthStar 2053936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bluestriped bee: This narrative about made me cry! I'm so happy for you! We have been trying for a year and a half for our second, but it's still a journey even if we already have one. I'll keep following you and can't wait to hear if you have one, two (or eek! three) babies growing in there! Enjoy this moment!! :grin: BSB on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2053931 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:43:19 +0000 BSB 2053931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Cross posting! I posted this on the regular TTC and I meant to post this on these 6 months plus TTC thread. Oops, I might have depressed a lot of first time TTCers. Or open their eyes that some people don't get pregnant as easily. So I've been away from these POAS threads but I'm happy to finally report that I finally got my first :bfp: !!!!!!! It been a long journey over these past 3 years of TTC and happy that my IVF cycle finally got me pregnant! I still have quite a journey in front of me. Those of you still waiting, I'm hoping you don't have to wait as long as me. Keep the hope! It might not happen the way we planned but one way or another you and I will have a baby in our arms. Here is my test. It's 7dp5dt (7 days past 5 day transfer... Similar to 12 DPO.) This is my first test but a lot of IF users are saying its a dark line. We did transfer 2 embryos so fingers crossed the dark line means that I'm having twins! But I'll take one baby, too. I'll take triplets, too. Next steps is to call my RE and ask if they can see me soon to get a blood test. I still can't believe I saw a :bfp: this morning!!!

Hooray for a great plan, and we'll be cheering for you. I'll check in on the IVF boards to see how it's going for you. :happy: @NorthStar: That's awesome!! Do they think acupuncture is helping, or did you do anything else to boost it? I can't remember...

I had my progesterone level done today and it was at 40! It was at 11 prior to acupuncture in October and has been 25 the last two or three cycles. I couldn't believe how much it jumped!

I will always ALWAYS be a cheerleader on the 6 months+ thread, but most of my posts will probably be on the IVF and IF Check-In threads now. Love you ladies, can't wait to see more BFPs from you!! ballerinabee on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2043911 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 14:31:31 +0000 ballerinabee 2043911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @AmeliaBedilia: I know that 'holding out hope until the very end' feeling all too well. The cycle where I was 9 days late was the worst. I kept getting BFNs, but no AF. Torture. And I'm sorry about your SIL's news. It is so painful to hear, even when you love the person whose news it is. <hugs> @MaryM: Ha! I almost didn't, but started on CD14. I O'd late again (CD19), so I did manage to catch it. We hit O-4, O-2 & O, so fingers crossed! I'm 2dpo now and trying not to think about it. Weird about the major cramps before the pos OPK. Our bodies are so cryptic with all of this! I wish we had some kind of computer with readings we could check to know what's going on. We meet with MFM for a pre-conception consult on Friday (due to all of my complications with C, and because I'm AMA), so I'm anxious to hear what they have to say. Then we can meet with the RE again to make a plan if this cycle is a bust.

Only to figure out WTF was going on! Lol. I had major cramps Friday night (like as bad as TOM). But I didn't get a positive OPK until the following day, so I'm assuming it was either a cyst or I was gearing up for O. I do have a follow up scheduled for next month. I wasn't able to make it as close to CD3 as I wanted, but at least it's on the books.

I don't know what else to say except that you are not alone in holding on to that last string of hope, even though reason and common-sense say, "No way!" As for me, I had that odd little bit of "what if...?" hope, but was not pregnant...confirmed at my HSG appt. and of course when I O'd 9 days ago. See what's up with your temp the next few days, but if they are back to pre-O temps, don't waste another HPT. HUGS! :heart: AmeliaBedilia on "January ttc 6+ months--a. fresh. start." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-ttc-6-months-a-fresh-start/page/3#post-2039473 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 12:13:10 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2039473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Last cycle we did a NTNP approach since I have an important event in September that being 40 weeks pregnant would be problematic. We didn't chart, but I always O the same day and we hit O-2. My period started a day late, and was shorter and lighter than usual (3 days). Yesterday and today I have been super tired- like 9-11 hours of sleep and still feeling tired., lightheaded, etc. I took a wondfo yesterday (not FMU) and BFN. I took my temp this morning and it was 98.33 (typical post-O temp) but almost 3 hours later than normal. I'm pretty sure I'm not, but feeling like there is just enough chance to make me crazy. I have a couple good tests, but don't want to waste them, and DH is gone all day. Please talk some reason into me.
