Hellobee Boards

@Mrs squirreld: well I wish your feelings about this cycle had been right. I am unable to drink at either holiday because I'm set to o over Christmas....super jealous of you!
@chibee: thanks for the encouragement but I'm foreseeing a big drop tomorrow. I have to get up an hour early so it will probably look pretty bad.

@Mrs squirreld: I totally agree! I will have to drink at least a little or there will be millions of questions.

@chibee: I totally think it will! Met with the RE today and had a fantastic meeting. Lots of testing to do next week but possibly get to do IUI with clomid this cycle. If not, then the next but I'm super duper excited. I could certainly be pregnant in January as he thought we had a good chance to get it the first try.

@cherrybee: I know! I'm not opposed to twins at all but thank God for 9 months to figure out how you're going to pay for daycare lol.

@cherrybee: If it weren't illegal I might consider it lol. I feel SO much better! I had resigned myself to never hoping for a BFP but after today's appointment I feel like one may be within a month or two of reach. I'm so excited that timing worked out so that I can try IUI right away. Infertility is certainly something I would never wish on my worst enemy, and if there is one thing I have learned it's that people in my shoes shouldn't wait the typical 1 year if they think there's reason they're not getting pregnant. Had I known that, I would've gone to the RE much sooner.

@marionberry: I'm so glad to hear you in better spirits! It's nice to have a plan and an answer, and nicer still that you don't have to wait long to try IUI. Good luck!!!!!

@marionberry: i'm so happy the RE appointment went well for you! I'm so excited for your IUIs!!!

@Mrs squirreld: Hello! I'm good, thanks. Been working away this week and came back to find DH had put loads of shelves up, put some pictures up for me and all sorts! I was so happy!!! U/S is today. I'm so, so nervous - convinced they're not going to find anything in there as my symptoms have gone. My mum didn't have any symptoms when she was pregnant though, so I'm sure it will be fine. You just never stop stressing, from the moment you start TTC!!!!

@Cherrybee: I'm sure your ultrasound will go great! So exciting!

Hi Everyone!! My ultrasound went really well!! The baby is measuring a few days further along than I thought - 8 weeks at one angle! - and we heard the heartbeat loud and clear! He/she came from my right ovary apparently (it's mad that they tell you that!) and everything is where it should be. We're both completely delighted. I couldn't wait to get back and tell you all.

@Cherrybee: Congrats! So glad baby is happy and healthy (and big apparently) lol. It's totally cool what they can tell on an ultrasound. I just had one today for other reasons and it's crazy to watch them count your follicles! I had 12 on one ovary and 15 on the other. At one point she goes...this is a cyst, but it may just be where your last egg came from (and it turns out it was). Crazy stuff.

@mrssquirreld: are you absolutely positive that your OPKs were positive earlier in the cycle? I had a lot of trouble with OPKs that were so so close to positive for so long - i only knew when the real LH surge was coming when I had a ton of true EWCM. It doesn't seem like you o'd going by your chart although your temps are few and far in between (like mine this cycle) - definitely keep an eye on your CM and keep temping, that would be my advice. Such trouble this cycle - we really need to learn to relax and get our bodies to produce normal cycles!

@mrssquirreld: i definitely think that you had an LH surge and didn't o - and this is the surge that will finally release that egg! Keep temping!

@marionberry: i'm seriously considering calling the doctor. If you had to take a guess, what do you think is causing my inconsistent cycles?

@chibee, @messquirreld: I'm no doctor so I can't say but long and irregular cycle lengths are consistent with pcos. Also hormone issues, like mine with thyroid can create that failed or delayed ovulation. I was always under the impression you had to wait a year but found out it isn't quite the case. Since you're not having regular cycles your dr.'s may see you early. I don't want to scare you but finding out means you can treat it, aka closer to baby.

@messquirreld: good eating and exercise can actually help both of the things I mentioned above. It's ok to just do that if that's what you're comfortable with.

@chibee: I totally agree! My mom always got pregnant the first time she tried, so it's been entirely depressing to try over and over again to no baby. I always thought it would be easy for me too. But since I started finding out what's wrong and doing something about it I feel so much better. I finally feel like maybe I'm getting closer to a baby being my reality. The reason I tell you guys to act on things sooner than a year is because I wish I would've sooner than I did. *Hugs from a girl who knows what it's like!*

@mrssquirreld: ok i totally see it - please go out immediately and get a digital
