(my 0 day was on the day he went away). I really thought there was no chance for this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/4#post-1957311 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 23:27:06 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1957311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStar: Congratulations! What did you do differently this cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/4#post-1957310 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 23:21:52 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1957310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStar: YAAAAY!!!! That's awesome news!! :grin: So happy for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/4#post-1957298 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 22:58:32 +0000 MrsStar 1957298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! Thought I'd update here that I got a bfp! I didn't test until today (16dpo) because I wanted to make sure AF wasn't going to show up! Good luck to every one waiting to test this month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/4#post-1946335 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:23:52 +0000 Miss Sarah 1946335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: yay for the farm! How exciting to have something major like that to look forward to! &lt;3</p> <p>@Crystal: So expensive! We will be seeing an RE in December if we aren't pregnant this month, so I'm sure it would get more expensive with injectables and ultrasounds, etc. So that's why we're switching insurance because we just can't afford that! Good luck to you!!</p> <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: @Nicole112: Thank you both! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1946315 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 08:37:03 +0000 nicole112 1946315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Thank you!!</p> <p>@sarahnicole218: Thank you!!! Your timing looks amazing! Fx this is your month!!! </p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Fx for you girl!! Congrats on the farm!!! Hoping things are falling into place so that baby feels more ready to come!! </p> <p>@Crystal: GL! My IUI was a lot too. It's crazy how expensive all this fertility stuff is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1945958 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 13:00:46 +0000 Crystal 1945958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarahnicole218: FX for you! Were just looking at IUIs, and they'll be like 2K per cycle. Why is all of This stuff so expensive?!</p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: congrats!!! How fun!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1945805 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 01:17:01 +0000 MrsStar 1945805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Congrats on the farm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1945505 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 17:50:23 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1945505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarahnicole218: awesome BDing! Fx that does the trick for you &amp; you won't even need your new &amp; improved insurance coverage! :wink: :goodluck: </p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: so exciting you got your farm! Why did I read your news in the voice of the little girl on the movie "We bought a zoo"?! :grin: Hope your herbs, etc help out this month. Sounds like big things are coming your way, lady! :goodluck: :heart: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1945384 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 16:00:47 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1945384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarahnicole218: So hoping that the better BD timing works for you!</p> <p>CD12, with expected O CD15. I'm doing lots of herbs, and started evening primrose oil, and CM is improved. Fingers crossed.</p> <p>In non-TTC news...we got the farm! :grin: We are going to figure out when our HUGE renovation starts. I don't know how this will all play out with renovating, hopefully being pregnant, moving, etc. but we will make it work if it happens. The one downside is that the "when are you going to have kids?" questions have increased. Apparently, DINKs aren't allowed to buy farms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1944771 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:38:40 +0000 Miss Sarah 1944771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nicole112: @MamaCate: Congratulations to you both!!! :grin: So much has happened since I've last been on. It's hard to get on HB as much as I'd like now that I'm subbing. The site is blocked at a lot of schools, and I'm pretty much busy the whole time.</p> <p>A little update, 1 DPO right now. We decided not to do a third IUI because it's $400 every time. We are switching insurance in January that will cover everything infertility related. I'm trying not to get my hopes about this cycle, but we had the best timing we've ever had in our history off TTC (since BDing is hard for us every day). We hit O-4, O-3, O-1, O, and O+1! If anything, at least we didn't miss out on our shot this month without doing the IUI.</p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Still praying for you all the time, even though I'm not on here much. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1937409 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 11:19:57 +0000 Crystal 1937409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: oh my gosh, yay!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1937347 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 10:42:06 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1937347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: exciting! Hope you get your dream place! Fx for you to have all kinds of good stuff come your way all at once! :wink: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1937162 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 08:27:21 +0000 MamaCate 1937162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@busylizzy111: @AmeliaBedilia: thanks ladies! It has meant so much to have the support from you and everyone on this board and I am still pulling for you.</p> <p>AmeliaBedilia's post about CM reminded me to list what (if anything) I did different this month:<br /> -I have lost 20 lbs since July so I have to think that helped<br /> -took B6 daily after AF was over to increase CM per TCOYF (I think this helped)<br /> -didn't work out the last two weeks due to a cold (inadvertent timing)<br /> -charting</p> <p>I honestly think our case came down to luck and timing but it was always helpful for me to see what has happened for others on their BFP cycle.</p> <p>Sending baby dust to everyone! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936976 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:48:34 +0000 MrsStar 1936976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Good luck for the land/house bidding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936958 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 20:28:13 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1936958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: SO HAPPY for you!</p> <p>I started evening primrose oil two days ago, and I think my CM is improved. It's only CD7 and having a little, so I am hopeful that this will be better. I never have great CM, so I wonder if that is part of the problem. I am going to skip the preseed this cycle, and hopefully between evening primrose oil and mucinex (and the massive water and green tea I consume), that will work. I am also trying zao jiao ci to help just in case I do have LUFS. I have heard that it helps with a "waxy coating of the follicles in PCOS" as well.</p> <p>This week's other adventures include bidding on land and a house. We have always wanted a farm, and this is an auction of land and an old house. It is in a phenomenal location for us, but it will be expensive. I am so nervous. Please say a prayer for us! I have heard so many stories about people who get pregnant after buying a house or something similar, and our pattern is that we have lots of stuff all happen at once. So excited and terrified at the same time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936741 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 15:14:18 +0000 busylizzy111 1936741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: OMG congratulations! So happy for you!</p> <p>Thanks everybody.

Baby dust for miles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936153 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 17:55:39 +0000 nicole112 1936153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@busylizzy111: I'm sorry about AF love. Go treat yourself to something real good!!</p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Good luck! I think the weeks difference in the maternity leave will surely make a difference! Sounds like you have a good plan! Can't wait to see you bfp on here!!</p> <p>@MamaCate: OMG YAY!!! Congrats!! That's a postive!! Praying for a sticky bean! </p> <p>I am doing well. Beta numbers are rising "beautifully" as per my Dr. My progesterone decided to decrease so I need to start supplements. I'll do whatever!! My first sono is scheduled for Thursday...my birthday!</p> <p>Can't wait to see more bfp's on here!! Rooting for you ladies!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936147 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 17:38:29 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1936147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: whaaaat?!? Look at that beauty!!!!! Oh my gosh, I am so super excited for you, lady!! Fingers crossed, prayers said &amp; tons of baby dust pouring your way! :grin: :goodluck: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936105 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:50:18 +0000 MamaCate 1936105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As for me, my temp dropped slightly yesterday on 13dpo so I was pretty sure I was out, enough so that I had a beer at happy hour last night. I was making plans to call my OB Monday to schedule a hsg and everything. But this morning my temp was back up so I caved and tested:</p> <p>[attach=2016/14/neqpzv.450x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>I am in shock but so happy! Please send prayers and good vibes as we are right at a year since the time of my loss and I am petrified of repeating that. But mostly just thankful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1936104 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:48:10 +0000 MamaCate 1936104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nicole112: so exciting to know you are official! Still sending lots of baby dust your way!</p> <p>@busylizzy111: sorry to hear about AF! So hard when you start to get your hopes up. Hoping this cycle has better results for you!</p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: it sounds like you are doing a great job focusing on the positive and I think maximizing your leave options is huge! Even if is not paid, 12 weeks went so fast and I could not have imagined going back to work sooner with LO. I had a work friend who was complaining about not getting pregnant due to work stress and resigned but got KU that month, so now she is at a new job and not eligible for FMLA. Not sure what they are going to do...so good plan to try to avoid that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-ttc-6-months-support-thread/page/3#post-1935353 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:00:06 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1935353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@busylizzy111: aww, hugs! :sad: </p> <p>As for me, CD5. Continuing the herbs/making babies plan, but deleting preseed an adding primrose oil. In the making babies book, they discussed luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome. It is rare, but happens more with my "type." Basically, your egg does not rupture , but your progesterone level goes up and it looks like you ovulated. There are a few treatments, and I am going to try a new herb, Zao jiao ci, which is supposedly "miraculous" for getting follicles to rupture. </p> <p>I am trying to look at the upsides. If I get pregnant in the next few months, almost all my medical bills will be in the same calendar year, which makes it much cheaper. Also, I will be eligible for FMLA, so I will have the option of expanding maternity leave from 6 weeks to 12 (though unpaid). I also feel a little less stressed. Trying to focus on the positive. </p>
