Hugs friend :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1444246 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:48:03 +0000 littlek 1444246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: I'm getting to the "whatever it takes" point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1444243 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:47:08 +0000 littlek 1444243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I struggled temping because I wake up a LOT during the night and I can't get accurate results. We tried EOD for 2 weeks but my HSG meant we had to abstain until cd10. I don't have high hopes for this cycle. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1444236 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:42:40 +0000 sandy 1444236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just started temping and I have 3 random days of high temps. Will my temp be higher than usual if I lay in bed trying to fall back asleep? i wake up a lot during the night and am usually able to fall back asleep but sometimes it takes longer...so then I realize I'm just laying there and decide to temp and I think it's those days that my temps are higher than usual. What do you think?</p> <p>So I'm heading into my fertile window and started taking mucinex. I'm also going to start drinking green tea. We were going to try EOD for 2 weeks after AF ended but my husband has been crazy busy at work and I've been super tired taking care of a sick LO. So we weren't able to do our EOD plan. Today is CD13 and we're planning to BD everyday up to O day which FF is projecting as CD 16...I haven't gotten a positive on my OPK yet (last time I got my smiley at CD 13)...I'm so confused. I'll go back for blood test on CD 21. </p> <p>@littlek: @MrsMcD: for some reason clomid scares me but I'm definitely getting close to that point where I just want to ask my doc to prescribe me something </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1444049 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 16:16:28 +0000 deactivated_account 1444049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I feel like I would be happy to just dump a bunch of clomid down my throat right now!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443977 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:21:38 +0000 bhbee 1443977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I feel that way about treatments - at least then you're doing something other than waiting, right?? hope you can move in that direction soon (or just get a BFP of course!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443893 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 14:27:43 +0000 littlek 1443893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: I'm sorry. That stinks. :(</p> <p>We had dinner with one of her neighbors who is going through IUI now. I'm definitely ready to start treatments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443876 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 14:17:50 +0000 Crystal 1443876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: mouth breathing will definitely have an impact... Hopefully it goes back up tomorrow and this was a fluke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443855 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:56:14 +0000 Snowdrop 1443855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: I hope the last two days are a fluke and your temp is back up tomorrow, I can usually tell post O through cm too. It goes dead dry all of a sudden. What is yours suggesting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443832 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:28:19 +0000 bhbee 1443832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: it's definitely possible it's the breathing but just hard to know. you didn't do OPKs right? I've definitely had a month where I thought I was going to ovulate based on CM, didn't see a temp rise, and then my body tried again 4 days later or so and I did see a temp rise. so you may still have time for BD if you didn't ovulate yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443817 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:13:49 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1443817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My temp is down for the second day in a row. It went up on CD16 as it always does, but now down for two days. I am really upset since I thought we had really good timing, and we didn't manage to BD the last couple days. I have either a cold or allergies and am very congested. I am concerned I haven't ovulated yet (and therefore timing is poor this cycle), or I am having an anovulatory cycle. I am really hoping I ovulated CD15 as I always do and my temp is down to my cold/mouth breathing- I think this is the case but wondering if this is my crazy TTC logic. What do you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1443286 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 00:20:06 +0000 Boopers 1443286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I have a UTI (I think)! I've never had one before but based on what Google tells me, it's a UTI :( I have leftover antibiotics from an upper respiratory infection I never took (bad, I know) that I'm starting to take along with an OTC med for UTI pain and I hope it's relieved soon!! </p> <p>I got a positive OPK yesterday, I hope that this doesn't affect our chances this month. I got sick last cycle around the same time and ended up having a short cycle, which maybe were due to meds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442848 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 17:18:54 +0000 Crystal 1442848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: sounds like you got great timing! Yay! </p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: that's what I'm doing, too. The testing and waiting was making me crazy. I'm not a charter yet, so sorry I can't be of any help on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442807 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 16:20:17 +0000 Boopers 1442807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: @katieleigh_82: Thanks ladies! It's always good to let it all out, especially once it's built up so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442806 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 16:19:32 +0000 Boopers 1442806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: Yes! There is a lot of adult humor. Most of the theater was adults! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442777 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 15:38:36 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1442777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I am not planning a POAS date. I am going to try to approach this the same way as when I was on BC. Assume AF is coming, and if I'm late, then I will POAS. With my current approach, I have been going crazy and hoping this works better.</p> <p>I am second guessing my O date. If the 7 cycles I did a good job temping, 5 times I ovulated on CD15, twice CD14. My temp went up on CD16 as I expected. It went back down this morning. I have been coming down with a cold, and DH said he was cold this morning when we woke up. Do you think I O'd CD15 and had a funky temp, or that I haven't ovulated yet? CM is hard to know for sure because we've been using preseed, but I think I had EWCM CD15.</p> <p>My chart: <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/kg2014" rel="nofollow">http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/kg2014</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442418 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 09:09:40 +0000 katieleigh_82 1442418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: I think sometimes we just need to let it all out, I did the same thing to my dh last week. Funny you had retail therapy and bought a purse, I did that as well a couple weeks ago when AF showed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442273 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 04:10:08 +0000 Snowdrop 1442273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: its so good to read you are doing a bit better now :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1442271 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 04:05:04 +0000 Crystal 1442271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katieleigh_82: thanks! I got lots of BDing in my future!</p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: so hopeful for you! FX! I am a few days behind you now. When can you test?</p> <p>@Boopers: was it good even if you don't have little kids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1441968 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:26:19 +0000 Boopers 1441968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! After my post last night I had a good cry in front of DH and now I feel a lot better. All this afternoon I could feel ovulation pains on my right side. I went home and tested and got a smiley so we were able to BD when DH got home from work. I'll probably try to get at least tomorrow and maybe Sunday in and then just see what happens!</p> <p>We went on a date night to see the Lego Movie and it was so good! I also treated myself with retail therapy and got a cute new purse for Spring/Summer. Feeling good about the weekend and some time away from stress :)</p> <p>I hope everyone has a great and relaxing weekend! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1441860 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 20:21:00 +0000 katieleigh_82 1441860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: I agree, insurance companies suck, good luck hope they resolve the issues, keep fighting them!<br /> @Crystal: I'm in the same boat, supposed to O on Sunday so just trying to get in some bd'ing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1441836 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 20:05:13 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1441836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: Yes, my biopsy was fine. I called customer service today and threw a fit about that and all the other issues I had. They told me if I don't hear back by Wednesday to call.<br /> Hugs on waiting to ovulate!</p> <p>I am CD16, and I almost always ovulate on CD15. Sure enough, temp is up. We hit O-4, O-2, and O-1. I was going to try to get today in, but neither of us were in a good mood, and DH was so tired he went to bed at 7:45. I am trying to remind myself that today is unlikely to be helpful anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1441617 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 18:17:02 +0000 Crystal 1441617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: good luck with the IUI! How exciting! </p> <p>@MrsMcD: Hopefully it is a simple fix. </p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Did your tests come back clean? Unexpected high bills are the worst. It seems like you are having to pay for the same thing a few times- did they erroneously bill you?</p> <p>I am waiting to ovulate.... so frustrating. I hope that with this morning's OPK that I will ovulate soon. But that makes it worse that we skipped BD last night, so I hope I still have good timing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1441240 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:09:38 +0000 littlek 1441240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: Yay!!!! So excited for you! Fx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1441015 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:08:11 +0000 Sprite 1441015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Damn insurance! Although hopefully you will have a bfp before May and you won't even have to worry about it. Also, please let us know about the magical medicine when you find it! :)</p> <p>@CupQuakeWalk: regarding RE appointments, I got my referral from my ob/gyn on a Monday, made an appointment with the RE that day, and saw them the following Tuesday. I hear some are really busy, but I was willing to take any appointment time they'd offer me!</p> <p>@Boopers: sorry to hear you are feeling stressed! It's oh so romantic to force yourself to BD around O time when you're drained, I know. Eat those oreos without guilt, TTC is hard and you deserve a treat (says the person who has gained easily 10lbs since starting to TTC...)!</p> <p>@AmeliaBedilia: HUGS! Insurance companies are the absolute WORST! I hope you're able to sort it out soon, so it is one less thing you have to think about and stress over. If it helps at all, you can think about punching your insurance company in it's ovary? Or maybe that's just what works for me ;)</p> <p>@katieleigh_82: Welcome! I hope your RE is able to help you when you see them in April!</p> <p>@littlek: I had a similar convo with my husband a couple months ago about how much it's going to cost. It's hard not to feel guilt about spending money on fertility treatments, when it comes for free to so many others. That is wonderful that your DH sounds on board with the costs. Hopefully you will get your bfp soon, and he will feel more comfortable changing jobs if that's the direction he'd like to go in.</p> <p>Small update from me (cross posted from the IF board): IUI scheduled for Sunday! I've got three mature follicles and we're triggering tonight. Hopefully all the injections (and cost!) will be worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1440490 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:32:20 +0000 littlek 1440490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: I know want you mean. We are all looking for that silver bullet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/4#post-1440481 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:30:31 +0000 deactivated_account 1440481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: I don't really have a hunch one way or another as to what could be preventing me from getting a BFP. In jest, I like to blame DH. But in reality, Im hoping its a timing issue or something simple like a strong vitamin D deficiency that's easily fixable. Wouldn't that be great?!</p> <p>@littlek: that is awesome your DH is on board with the cost of fertility treatments. Hopefully you won't need them - or much - and, if you do, it will be over soon enough and your DH can get moving with his career change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/3#post-1439910 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 09:02:54 +0000 littlek 1439910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Ugh that's the worst. High medical bills are the worst, you have to pay for the service but its not a "fun" way to spend your money. </p> <p>I broke down to DH about the "cost" of getting pregnant. I think I was worried he would not want to spend the money (insurance doesn't cover treatment except IVF) and he pretty much told me that "money wasn't an object." That's nice but I feel bad because he was wanting to switch to a lower paying job which is more the direction he wants his career to go. He's currently on the corporate side and he wants to go back to consulting. He has greater growth potential in consulting but he will need to take a small backtrack relating to salary to make this switch... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/3#post-1439888 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:57:40 +0000 littlek 1439888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katieleigh_82: Welcome!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus-1/page/3#post-1439820 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:29:06 +0000 katieleigh_82 1439820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I guess I should introduce myself as well:<br /> I'm 31, currently in the middle of O week of ttc cycle 7.<br /> No kids yet just fur 2 babies a Bouvier named Hemi, and a Husky named Lily.<br /> I have not undergone any testing yet but have been given a referral to a RE and have an appointment on 4/10.<br /> I also love to bake and go extra crazy during the holidays, my family loves it though cause everyone ends up getting sent home with goodies! </p>
