    @Keppa: I'm with you, I had pretty bad timing, so I'm just hanging out.

    @sarahnicole218: good luck with the clomid!!!

    @lazypanda: lol @ pretty pills. I am so excited for you! I'd be peeing on all of them too!

    @MaryM: FX!! My ff chart is telling me I Od later, which I don't want to believe, because that makes our timing only O-2.

    @busylizzy111: how many DPO are you?

    I am anywhere between 7-9 DPO. Slight temp decrease this morning, which always makes me hope it's an implantation dip. All rationality goes out the window in the latter half of the TWW, lol.

    @Crystal: I am around 11dpo, cd 26. In my last pregnancy (which ended in mc) I had a positive test on cd 29 when AF was due

    I am feeling so poorly atm- I got a full blown fever of 103. Cue to googling all horror scenarios "fever while early pregnant"

    @busylizzy111: For a fever that high...you need to get to a doctor! Even if you aren't pregnant

    I know, but the doctors offices hear are closed till Monday
    I will check my temp in the morning again.
    It is so weird, I was sick 2 weeks ago, it was better after 2 days. Doctor took blood and told me later that it was an infect.
    Why now again?

    I've headed to the ER at 103 before. I definitely wouldn't let it get any higher than that! And make sure you're staying hydrated!

    Well, going out of town was nixed. The only hotels that weren't sold out were $500 (normally they're like $150) and we can't see spending that for one night!

    Does anyone else have fun weekend plans?

    @MaryM: ouch, that's a lot!

    @busylizzy111: what about an urgent care?

    No big weekend plans, lots of lazy relaxing. I might get a massage this weekend, but aside from that, cleaning up the garage and maybe visiting family.

    @Crystal: A massage sounds awesome!!

    If you use preseed and BD, can you tell what is actually CM? Sorry for the TMI.

    @AmeliaBedilia: I usually have to wait til the next morning to check, otherwise I get confused between the two.

    @MaryM: I'm excited about that!

    @Crystal: Today is the day I usually O, and last night I used preseed. I'm having lots of CM today (more than usual) and while hoping it's me, I think it is probably preseed.

    @AmeliaBedilia: are you sure it's not you? It does sometimes make me have more, but it can't replicate egg white cm.

    @busylizzy111: how are you feeling this a.m.? Hoping your fever calms down!

    AFM, I just got a bfn at 12 dpo. I still don't "feel" pg. And since this was our last month trying, I'm just really not feeling it. I'm working on accepting things as they are and being content and thankful no matter my circumstance. I probably won't test again until if AF is late. So Tuesday.

    @organicmama: I'm sorry. Why is this your last month trying?

    Well we've taken clomid the last 2 cycles. And we're currently in between health insurance coverages so to continue with the RE going fwd would be expensive. Clomid was as far as we wanted to go with fertility intervention and it probably didn't work So there are not really any more moves to make. I'm 34 and DH is 38. Our son turns 6 in a couple weeks. We really just wanted to give him a sibling. He has always asked for one. But it just doesn't seem to be part of our life plan. It's hard to even write that, but I need to come to terms with it. We NTNP for 2 years and then actively tried for a year and a 1/2. I'm ready for a break!

    @organicmama: I am so sorry to hear that. Hugs!

    Thanks for asking, the fever was gone this morning after a very sweaty night, but now it is right back up ( I am across the pond fyi). I will do a full health check with my doctor next week

    @organicmama: I'm so sorry. Do you think you will continue to ntnp?

    @LindsayInNY: how are you doing?

    @busylizzy111: you poor thing, I hope you feel better soon.

    @busylizzy111: @lazypanda: @crystal: @lindsayinny: Thank you all for the kind words. I talked with DH this morning and he thinks when we completely give up control, it will happen. I told him that emotionally I'm going to prepare myself for it not to happen but he made me promise I wouldn't give up hope. And I won't. I know God can nod a baby into existance. Nothing I do or don't do will affect that. @lazypanda shared with me that she got her bfp on the 2nd unmedicated cycle after clomid. So deep down I will continue to have hope, but I am going to start accepting our life as is... with one, AMAZING little boy who is so very loving and special. I've even been reading about accepting secondary infertility by researching all the great things of having an "Only". Whatever happens, it is well with my soul! Love you girls.

    @organicmama: sending hugs. Have you tried femara?

    @organicmama: big, huge hugs, friend.

    Our little thread feels like it's dying off.

    @Crystal: I agree. I think a lot of the people who were part of it left in the mass exodus last week.

    I've been lurking. 10 people I know announced more pregnancies this week and it's been hard. I did tell my MIL and my mom about the verdict from the RE, but I still feel like garbage about it all. On top of which AF is showing later than usual which is messing with my head.

  25. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @babycanuck: what did I miss about your re appt? I'm so sorry about the pregnancy announcements, those are rough. Big hugs.

    @Marfi: it sucks. I don't want us to die off! It's august 31, and we haven't even discussed a September thread yet!

    @Crystal: I won't be able to have kids unless I have surgery to get rid of a partial septum. I'm going for a consult but I'm unsure about going under/IVs/surgery. Consultation with the surgeon is on Sept 25.

    The RE said yes, there are people have have kids with a partial or full septum, but at almost 2 years in I've never even had a let alone anything else, so this is her recommendation. She did say all of DH's tests were great, my hormones are good and lots of healthy eggs.

    @Crystal: I'll start a September thread if no one else wants to.

    @organicmama: Sending & I think if you at least hold out some hope while NTNP, then maybe you will be blessed with #2 on God's time. I'm sorry that clomid didn't work for you & that you're in between ins coverages.

    My DH & I are finding it is really hard to work through what is available as far as intervention & what are we willing to do, too--for all kinds of reasons (our beliefs, monetarily, practicality...). In our wtf appt with the RE this week she recommended a few cycles of IUI & if that doesn't work, IVF. I've been a little excited & a little upset in needing to process those options. We'll likely do the medium stim IUI cycle(s) starting next cycle (mid Sept). Uggh.
    @babycanuck: yep, babies everywhere for everyone else... I feel your pain. to you.

    @babycanuck: just read your latest post: that does sound daunting... Hopefully your consult can alleviate some of your concerns??
    @Crystal: @Marfi: I'd join a Sept thread. I haven't had as much time to keep up, but I certainly don't yet feel like jumping into the IF boards with both feet yet.

    I'm still here. Hanging out at 9 or 10DPO. Trying my hardest to stay uninvolved and unconcerned this month. We had bad timing, so I'm just trying to convince myself that AF will be here shortly and not to test for a few days.

  31. busylizzy111

    Just to close this annoying month: was at the doctor, am now home again for 3 days. No one knows what's going on. Fever is gone again. To add insult to injury, I got my period while giving the urin sample. FML. I feel like crying.

    I'm still around. Just over ttc. September makes a year of trying, even though I try to rationalize that we've missed two months due to travel. My doctor told me a years a year, and she doesn't think an extra two months waiting to see an RE will make a difference. Today is cd 3, and I have an apt with the RE Sept 12. I don't really know what to expect.

    @gogosnogirl: it really is a tough thing to process. It can be so expensive. Not to mention emotionally draining. And I always question whether God would want us to make a financial decision that would put us into debt... If He intended us to have another baby, we would. End of story. Idk. I hope you and DH can have a sweet resolution to the talks.

    @busylizzy111: I'm sorry girl. That happened to me once while peeing on a stick! I don't know how I made it through the rest of the day. Could have just slapped me in the face and it would have felt the same! Hoping that next month things get back on track for you.

    @DC yoga bee: i. Hear. That. Totally over it. Just took a test since I'm 14-15 dpo today and no AF. Why did I even do that? I really am looking forward to not trying for awhile. We have done everything we can/will. Now I need to work on getting my hope back. I think it's in there, deep down... but until I find it, I'm thinking a Labor Day mimosa is in order.

    @babycanuck: oh friend, I'm so sorry. Big hugs. I hope the surgeon can provide some clarification, and that it will be an easy fix that gives you the magic combo you need.

    @Marfi: thanks!

    @GoGoSnoGirl: I'm slowly wading my way in the IF boards. I hate that any of us have to face that.

    @Keppa: I'm right there with you. We hit 1 day during fertile week, so I'm trying to just ignore it this month.

    @busylizzy111: big hugs. That also happened to me while poas once- so freaking annoying. Take it easy today and be good to yourself.

    @dc yoga bee: I was over it through much of July and August. I can completely understand. I hope the re is able to offer a quick and simple fix that gets you your baby.

    DH and I have been given the official diagnosis of infertile, and are at 15 months of trying. Re appt is in October, so I guess that means we just keep trying til then. It almost feels like a lost cause at this point and that it's never going to happen. I'm trying to have faith, but it is so hard to keep it up day after day, month after month.

    @organicmama: I'm trying to figure out if God is trying to teach me a lesson in all this, or if maybe kids aren't my path. I refuse to believe I wasn't made to be a mother, so I don't know what else it could be...

  35. busylizzy111

    You ladies are the sweetest, kindest women I have found on the internet, so do not believe for a second you were not made to be a mother! And if you start to doubt it, I will believe it for you with all my heart!

    Hey ladies… I'll see you over in September!… I had a bfn today, beta tmw…we shall see. FX. I'm on the progesterone suppositories which are making me feel miserable. And, I have a cold on top of it. And the progesterone is probably giving me false hope as my temps are still high (higher than my norm) and no AF…and I have read it can keep you from getting AF. But who really knows? Feeling down about ttc… I also wish I wasn't sick!
