Hellobee Boards

@alohaorchid: Hugs! What a roller coaster! Do you think that the feelings that the positive tests made you and your husband feel will change your mind about TTC again? Also, like @TheSwissWifeStyle asked, did you go to the doctor after those positives?

@sweetooth: Thanks! I was hoping someone would have a better memory. Oh, Hotchildinthecity mentioned she did not want to persue treatment and she is now in the adoption process. Not sure if adoption is something you would consider.

@AmeliaBedilia: welcome! I've been following you for a while and we have very similar timelines and testing outcomes. I stopped posting on the POAS threads and decided to just stay here and I really like how supportive everyone is!

We have been trying 15 months and 17 cycles. My cycles have been a little wacky too. Right now I'm on CD 29 waiting for AF, but last month was a 25 day cycle with three days of spotting before AF, so I understand your frustration!!

We are set on doing an HSG this next cycle and will go as far as IUI if needed, but we will not do IVF for financial and personal reasons. DA had a sperm analysis done that my obgyn thought was questionable but the urologist wasn't concerned. He's doing a repeat SA this week, so we'll see if his numbers change. My obgyn also said my bloodwork and labs are all fine. We aren't ready for an RE and are sticking with my obgyn as long as we can.

I also left an incredibly stressful job and having this summer off has helped, but we still aren't pregnant either. I think that not being pregnant yet despite lowered stress levels, I see benefits elsewhere. My mental health has improved as well as my relationship with DH.

We are all here for you and I hope you continue posting and sharing your story!

Um, decided to test today after my earlier post on a wondfo and got a positive. Bought two tests later and it's confirmed. Ahhh!

@AmeliaBedilia: I honestly had given up hope, not going to lie! After my DH's SA results we saw he had low progressive motility so we made sure to BD EOD from day 11 to a positive OPK on day 17, so we hit CD 11, 13, 15, and 17. I freaked out when I saw how late I got a positive OPK because my last cycle was only 25 days.

DH was taking a men's multivitamin that he saw had lots of stuff recommended to help boost motility. Not sure if that helped. We also used preseed externally and enjoyed a vacation during the first half of my cycle.

I am confident for you!!

@Boopers: Woohoo! So many BFPs for July! FX for a Happy and Healthy 9 months!

@mrswin: yay for the great numbers, looking forward to your next update.

@alohaorchid: I'm so sorry for the rapid change in circumstances! That really sucks and I hope you and DH get good news the next go around, if that is what you wish to do.

@AmeliaBedilia: Welcome! The ladies on here are very supportive and have a wealth of knowledge regarding the methods they have tried. I've already had 2 IUIs and needed to take a break from meds to recharge myself and go back to being "me." We put our bodies (and minds) through so much stress and trauma already that its best to go with what you feel is right for you. Good luck with whichever route you wish to pursue, and take comfort in knowing that we are all here to help support one another.

AFM, BFN this morning and I had a brown streak on my pantyliner but no brown when I wiped. Not sure if AF is supposed to arrive soon given that I am cd37 now. A part of me is hoping that it's implantation bleeding but 14dpo seems pretty late for implantation. We'll see what my acupuncturist has to say tomorrow.

@Boopers: congrats!!

As for me, day 3 u/s and b/w was today. Starting Femera today and coming in for u/s on day 9. FX that I'll trigger next Tuesday, too and IUI will be on Wed and Thurs.

@AmeliaBedilia: no. I've been on Femera about 8 months so far.

@Boopers: Hooray!!! Very happy for you!

Hoping for for everyone VERY soon!

@bluestriped bee: Praying for you!

@GreenThumb: @Boopers: Congrats, ladies!!

@Boopers: Amazing!! Congratulations and have a great happy and healthy 9 months!
