Hellobee Boards

ugh!! DH is being a real pain. I got a positive on my wondfo opk yesterday so FF says I O today, but he's too tired to dtd.

We covered off yesterday and Saturday, but I am so irritated. Men always whine when they don't get what they want in bed, and when women have things they want they flake off.

I need a super angry emoticon lol

@Bea: My gut told me to wait until this morning, so I did! Really hoping it did the trick, but I also know it's a really slim chance.

@babycanuck: hate when that happens!

So, pretty noticeable cramping all through last night and barely slept because I kept thinking I got AF. Having a sick daughter didn't help, I suppose, but definitely made me more aware. Still no AF this morning. If this keeps up, I'm going to test either tonight or first thing tomorrow!

@Bea: I'm in that boat right now...I feel ya.

((hugs))

@AmeliaBedilia: congrats on the new farm/house! That's exciting!

@MrsKRB: @NorthStar:

@sarahnicole218: and I love the "subtle" hint to DH. That made me giggle.

@babycanuck: that is SO frustrating. DH and I are on opposite schedules (he's up for work at 4 am, I'm barely going to bed before midnight these days <thanks insomnia>), so he's often too tired to dtd, and then leaves in the morning without waking me up! Grr.

travellingbee: you are not alone! It's so frustrating, and it hurts so much to see others fall pregnant so easily (or unintentionally!!). It's ok to have a pity party, especially in this forum! All we can do is keep trying. &

@Bea: I know that feeling too, but I get my hopes up every time. It hurts, but you have to believe each month, right?!

Hugs for all of you ladies! My fingers are crossed so tightly for you all this month!

We see the RE tomorrow. I'm so impatient! Let's get this show on the road! I'm only CD8 today, so waiting to start OPKs and need to remember to start temping tomorrow. I keep forgetting!

Mom's surgery went pretty well, but now she's having crazy hallucinations, so they're trying to find the cause. It's both hilarious and not good. Last night, while my Dad was sitting with her in her heavily monitored hospital bay (she's not in a room, but in a heavily monitored step-down unit), she whispered to my brother on the phone that my Dad had snuck her out of the hospital and that she just knew they'd get in trouble, so she was trying to figure out how to get back and that my brother might need to call the police. She also crocheted some air, but insisted to my Dad that she was working on a blanket... Oy.

One thing that has me feeling better about the holidays though, is that my SIL emailed me out of the blue yesterday to ask if I've ever talked to anyone about NaProtechnology.

She of course knows everything about my MC (she was my main support) but we haven't really talked about any issues or anything since that happened in February.

I'm thankful that she realized that things might not be easy for me. She has 8 kids so I know she could never really understand what it's like to not get pregnant (I'm pretty certain they've never experienced "trying"), but she had talked to a friend about it and wanted to make sure I knew about it.

I like that at least with my family, I can count on there not being any horribly awkward conversations. Unfortunately my MIL might be a whole different can of worms.

No, there isn't one where I live. I'm seeing an ob and there is a doctor in the practice that specializes in infertility, does iui's, etc. (not sure about ivf). I've done two cycles of letrozole and our plan was 3 to then decide next steps.

I could drive to Minneapolis for an re, but it's over a two hour drive and I start tax season hours in January

I'll see what the nurse says when she calls tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll continue with acupuncture.

@Bea: thanks

@MrsKRB: yay! That's great!
I had some light cramps and insomnia in the middle of the night. Now I'm exhausted! Grrr... Itching to test but trying to hold out until Saturday.

@travellingbee: can't wait for you to test!

@bea thanks for checking in! CD 15, still waiting for the wondfo OPK to turn positive. We leave on Friday for a trip halfway around the world that will take over 24 hours, so hoping it turns positive before we leave! But all the O symptoms are there, so I think I'm almost there

And I cannot narrow down just one favorite song this season... it's the experience of hearing all the classics together that makes me nostalgic and happy!

@NorthStar: I'm so sorry Hopefully 2015 will be a better year.
@MrsKRB: Congrats to your DH! That's wonderful
@YogiRunner: I hope you O before that long plane ride, so and fingers crossed for you!! I hope you're going someplace wonderful. Sounds like an adventure!
@raspberries: I cannot imagine having cycles that long! It must be so hard to wait and wait. Here's hoping for AF so you can get it over with and have a Merry Christmas!

@Bea: Thanks! I'm having really mixed emotions after our appt with the RE, which I guess is to be expected. I feel like we wasted the last 4 months because he wants to repeat all the tests we've already had (day 3 blood work with a vaginal ultrasound this time), semen analysis (with a wash this time), as well as do an HSG and some other blood work.

I'm CD9 now, so we scheduled my HSG for this Friday at 9. Those who've had it - how long does it take? Should I work from home afterwards, or will I be fine to go to work? (I guess I'm not sure if I should expect to be crampy after or just during).

DH will have his semen analysis + wash on Dec 30. Then I'll have the day 3 bloods & ultrasound in a few weeks if this cycle is a bust. It feels good to have a plan, I just wish we could have done all of this in August, instead of screwing around with my OB. I'm excited to have the testing scheduled so we can get to a plan of intervention!

Favorite holiday song: probably Carol of the Bells. I love most versions, but the Trans-Siberian Orchestra version immediately jumps to mind. I love the holidays!

@ballerinabee: I found the hsg totally painless. Make sure you take advil 1/2 hour before. I've heard others say it hurt though...

I got a squinter this morning at 10dpo on a FRER and a shadow on a Wondfo. Happy but terrified it's another chemical. Hoping it's just really early... Can't see much in the picture but here ya go-

Eat this one with a flash:

@travellingbee: fx this one sticks, girl!!
