Hellobee Boards

@KelLeeLeee: Yeah. I'm pretty much the same. Or I figure that any twinge is probably just gas (but I did have lingering ovary pain for a few days)

We only had "good" not high timing this month (according to FF), but I'm still somewhat hopeful. I feel like I had higher quality CM than usual. And my temperature shot up a lot quicker post-O, so I'm hopeful my progesterone is higher.

@organicmama: Ugh, I am so sorry. Your DH needs to realize he isn't the only one who is dealing with change and not complain so much. I am sure he isn't trying to insult or insinuate anything to you, though. Can you talk to him about how his comments are making you feel? Maybe he doesn't realize how he is coming across.

@busylizzy111: Welcome! I hope your stay here is short! How do you and DH make that work? That would be so hard!

A friend inspired me to calculate up how much I have spent on fertility aids just this year alone.

I am about $250 in on sperm friendly lube, HPTs, OPKs, and Vitamins. I have peed on about 100 ovulation strips and 50 cheapie HPTs.

@Crystal: bummer! Sorry to hear it! Be good to yourself!

@Crystal: Sorry!!

I've been traveling, so got a little behind, and now it's so hard because the darn computer only lets you reply to the current page- sorry if I missed you!

@nicole112: I totally get the giving up attitude. I still really want a baby but hate TTC! I have given up so much in the "maybe I'l be pregnant." I finally decided to try this month (though didn't use conceive plus each time) and if my conference conflicts, I'll figure it out. While this is super important, I hate TTC and will do almost anything to put it behind us.

@Crystal: Hugs!

One of the things on my "to do before TTC" bucket list that was almost done when we decided was to do a girls trip. While it hasn't worked out exactly as planned, I am visiting two friends (different cities so a few days with one, then a few days with the other). One is pregnant and doesn't know we're TTC, but I am handling it pretty well. We're doing plenty of walking, eating out, watching trashy TV, and will do lots of shopping tomorrow. Yea!

@organicmama: I' m sorry you were feeling emotional today. I actually had a very similar day. I didn't have work today and out of no where I started crying…and like crying crying. I haven't have a "good" cry like that in a really long time but wth?! And then I tried keeping busy and a little while later I found myself crying again. There wasn't one thing I could pinpoint for the reason of my tears today but I think it's just EVERYTHING. Ugh…not fun.

@Crystal: I'm so sorry to hear about AF! Grrrrr…

@AmeliaBedilia: Such a shitty feeling! I haaaatteeee ttc! I just want to be busy with my little family and be content! Why does it have to be so torturous for the ttc journey?!

I'm totally stressing because I am going away for the week next week with my entire family (aunts, uncles, cousins, gma, mom/dad, siblings, and DH!) and to save $ since it's super expensive where we are going are splitting the room with my grandma and a couple nights with my aunt and cousin…with DH. Shall be interesting…especially because next week begins my fertile window. We will be on a beach…we are going to have to get creative and hubby seems on-board, haha. Soooo we shall see! Whatever! Just gonna go with the flow! lmao

Sorry for being out for a few days. AF + some baby triggers have just made it hard to get on this board of late.

Congrats @lilyofthewest

@nicole112: Plan your trip. I took a 2 week trip to Italy and a few other countries this summer and it was a wonderful vacation. It was so nice to have something to look forward to. Also have fun and relax this week!

@Crystal: Sorry about AF

So I have to get an MMR vaccine for my new job, I had to tell the clinic there is a chance I could be pregnant and they wouldn't give me the vaccine. So now I'm freaking out that my job will find out or I won't be able to work...

@AmeliaBedilia: Come to think of it, yes. Made me ovulate 2 days late, and only had a 2 day super light AF. I think I'm dropping acupuncture this month. I was consistently ovulating cd 16 or 17 and had normal 3 day AF. Now acupuncture caused clots, which I never had before.

Good morning ladies! After working in my house all day and evening and then sleeping like a log, I'm feeling MUCH better. Even got to talk with DH (although not as in depth as I'd have preferred) and it's all good. Took the "stupid" clomid pill, too. I asked DH if he even wanted me to take the clomid this month and his response was "Of course!"

@ameliabedilia: what did your acupuncturist say about your short cycle last month? I think I'd be wanting some answers! I've never been 100% sold on it, but it seems like a LOT of women ttc are doing it.

@organicmama: She isn't sure, but doesn't think acupuncture caused it.

I'm either officially or artificially in the TWW. I haven't been consistently temping since it stresses me out. I'm out of town without DH for another few days, so if I get my BFP, it will be from BD before I left. So nothing to do but wait.

DH & I are in Hawaii airport waiting for our flight to NZ! Despite staying up WAY too late preparing for our trip, we got in a quick BD session last night before our 4hr "nap". I'm deliriously tired, but so happy to be on vacation! I AM however annoyed with my body... Was expecting to O tomorrow, but using my CBE advanced OPKs, found I skipped right on over high fertility from low fertility & got my peak yesterday?!? So not sure how that happened, especially when previous cycles have been looong lead ups with several days of high fertility & then I get peak. So, fortunately we've hit EOD BDing since Fri, but I hope I actually ovulate/d!
Best of luck to testers while I'm off the grid... which is going to be challenging not being able to check in & see what you're all up to. Lol!

@GoGoSnoGirl: Have a great trip!!

@GoGoSnoGirl: Have a fun and safe trip!

@Keppa: Hugs!

So while cleaning over the weekend I found that I have a bunch of softcups left (I don't really like them for AF). I think I am gonna use them this month after BDing.

@MaryM: hoping this is positive for you! Fx!

I am rooting for all of you ladies!!! Good luck!!

Hey everyone. I hope everyone is doing well! So of course this entire process is beyond stressful and ugh...just crazy and unfair. Well anyway, today I go to my obgyn for my annual and I was going to talk to her about her thoughts with me on clomid (but in a way for her to make the decision and not me lol) and then I finally got the guts to call me insurance company to figure out what would be covered for the RE. And my plan right now SUCKS (super high deductible and we are switching in January to prob my job) but anyway my plan covers like basic stuff like diagnosis of infertility but not treatment. So OK that's something! I felt a bit better so I went ahead and rescheduled the RE (I freaked out and cancelled last month) and now I have an appt next Friday 8/15 with the RE the day I come back from my mini vacay! So should I tell my obgyn today that I'm seeing the RE next week and not discuss the clomid? Or not tell her about the RE and talk about the clomid?? She is not the MD who referred me bc she's impossible to get an appt and I saw a different one a few months back.
