@Mrs.Someone: who knew? So glad you found them. Anyone who's willing to help is a-OK in my book!
-
@LovelyPlum: thank you! Good luck wrapping up the semester. I know how crazy this time of year feels. Ahhhh, a nice long break awaits you. Enjoy every second of it.
@sprite: thanks for sharing! I remembered bits and pieces of your story. Femara was much nicer of a drug for me, although my lining was too thin, so I had to switch to injectables. I love your avatar, by the way--so happy.
-
Gahhhh I always see this after a few pages of responses and then if feel like I can't catch up!
This weekend I'm getting my hair did and going to a friend's baby shower. Womp womp. JK
She's one of my besties and she had some IF issues of her own so I am really genuinely happy for her. It still makes me a little sad for myself, but no bitterness towards her.
Also, I forgot my cell phone today when I left for work and my injectables provider called to confirm my order. Whoops! By the time I got home and saw they were already closed. I'm sure it's fine since I won't need them till next Tues at the earliest and they ship overnight. But I still feel like I missed something huge.Hope everyone is well! I can't wait to go back and read the updates this weekend
-
@Happygal: I do. I'm going to update there after my appointment tomorrow.
-
@Shutterbug: I'm going to message you on Monday so we can discuss Catching Fire!
-
OK, this shows how out of touch with popular culture I am..... had to Google Catching Fire. I want to see it, too!
-
Hi!!
This weekend brings me nothing but work. (I work every other, so it's not too bad). I am however going to do some Xmas shopping today!!
As far as updates... Had blood draw for progesterone this past cycle. Came up at 13.5 on 50mg clomid. Dr wanted it to be at 15 or higher.. Rats!!! So close !!!
So, his notes were to up the clomid to 100mg this round (which I started on Tuesday). This cycle, all my key ultrasound days fall over Thanksgiving weekend, and they are closed. The nurse thought I may have to sit this cycle out, in which I firmly said that it wasn't an option!
I'm so intimidating!! Anywho, we agreed to do the blood draw the first Friday in December and go from there.Woot woot!!! No vaginal u/s this month!!
-
@mrs bunchy: hi back! Good for you for standing firm and letting them know it isn't an option! Seriously, the logistics of a RE's office boggles my mind. I should follow in your foot steps and do some Christmas shopping--I do it all online anyway, so I don't know what I'm holding out for!
-
Does anyone else get annoyed with all the symptom spotting posts? I just want to go in and remind everyone that pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF symptoms and looking for them just ups your potential disappointment
-
@Mrs.Someone: I know lol!! Symptoms are NOT a good way of determining whether or not you're pregnant. Also, most of these people are like 8DPO... just wait a few more days, then you'll know! It's impossible to know now anyway.
Honestly, the first thing I think is "n00b" lol!!
-
@happygal.. The office is usually amazing !! I think I always get the same nurse on the phone and I am sure she knows my name and birthday by heart
Online shopping ... Sounds good!! I am someone who has to touch and see things in person!!
-
@Mrs.Someone: They don't bug me, but I also don't read them
I symptom spotted like crazy in the beginning, and while I never posted, I definitely read every thread I could about TWW symptoms! In fact, I remember my first cycle ever googling "symptoms+1 dpo, symptoms+2 dpo, symptoms+3dpo" and so on. I think it's a lesson that has to be learned the hard way. @Mrs Bunchy: I don't like shopping or dealing with crowds, so I'm grateful for Amazon. And I've wondered about all the messages I've left for me office--I always am a good patient who spells out my first and last name, gives my date of birth, slowly provides my phone number and repeats it. . . I'm sure the nurse is thinking, "Yeah, yeah, we know!"
-
@Happygal: um, I've been at this for years and I still google symptoms by day. It's like I've forgotten what my past experiences are like!
I've got major back pain going on today & yesterday evening. Is this possibly a side effect of progesterone? DH told me that I get back pain every time I'm pregnant, but I had it last cycle and wasn't. I'm wondering if it's a s/e of the suppositories.
-
@mrs. jump rope: well, I googled the side effects from progesterone, and it's a lot like googling the TWW symptoms. People have zero side effects, some side effects, no side effects--I'm pretty sure I saw someone mention back pain, along with leg pain, headaches, and more! Basically, I think there's no way to tell.
-
@Happygal: bummer. I like definitive answers instead of vague possibilities!
I'll have to wait and see what happens, and figure out of this is my norm!
-
Plans this weekend sleep, sleep and more sleep, I feel like I got none this past week!
Find out today IUI#2 ended in another chemical pregnancy
So stinky, ok no it SUCKS! RE is saying it happens and not to concerned yet, if it continues err might look into genetic RPL testing and such, but he doesn't see it going there!
S
-
@LovelyPlum: School work always something to do
-
@mrs bunchy: Yay no u/s
your office is closed? That is stinky. ....
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: I swear progestrone had crazy side effects. ....... anything is possible!
-
@Mrs.Someone: AMEN...lol unless I'm puking I wouldn't believe it....lol
-
@FaithFertility: oh no, I'm so sorry!
-
@Shutterbug: Thank you, this road of IF is a crazy one mo one says it would be easy, I feel like I now have a guard up anyone else feel that way? I mean I'm still optimistic but feel that I also know this road had many "pot holes"
-
@FaithFertility: girl I am so so sorry. I just had to push my OB for RPL testing (after my second loss). I argues that it was basically just a blood panel and nothingness invasive and I wasn't willing to go through another loss just to see if we were missing something. I hope you find some time to heal.
-
@T.H.O.U.: We did the blood panel before so we know that is ok, I'm not sure what other RPL tests their are I've read about embryo biopsy.... sounds intense
-
@FaithFertility: Oh honey, I'm so sorry to read this. I saw you asking about mini IVF on another thread and raced over here for an update. Your analogy is a perfect one--a road with many jarring pot holes. It does comfort me to know that you have such a supportive family to be with you. Bigs hugs to you.
-
@Happygal: Thank you so much, we are trying IUI again but I like to know "what next?"
-
@FaithFertility: I'm the same way! I told this to my RE, "I feel good when there is a plan." So now it's funny--she makes a point to say, "Okay, we'll try this for 3 more times, then reevaluate the plan."
-
@Happygal: yep I totally agree, right now "the plan" is wait for AF and in the mean time have some cocktails, because I dont drink a drop once I get it and start meds.....and focus on positive things.......finally had a good night's sleep last night, ever since the middle of the week when we got news it was not loooking good I've had terrible dreams
-
@FaithFertility: oh no! Im so sorry
-
@SweetiePie: how was the baby shower? Are you happy with your hair do?
@FaithFertility: cocktails sound good! Are there any other "forbidden" pregnancy foods that you can enjoy during this time as well?
-
@Happygal: I cut out caffeine, and right after my IUI I stay away from all food you can't have PG, sounds crazy but its a mind game, you??????
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: How are you feeling? How is the progestrone?
-
@FaithFertility: I'm good. Soooo tire today even though I slept 10 hours last night. The progesterone has no effect on me that I've noticed. No leaking, no pregnancy like symptoms. I've had lower back pain, though! Not sure if it's a s/e or what..
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: hmmmmm...being tired is a good sign!!!! Yay for no leakage I stopped taking it yeasterday and I still have leaking....blahhhhhh!
-
@FaithFertility: I'm sure my time will come. Sorry if this is gross but last nights suppository broke into threes ... So THAT was fun
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: sounds fun.....lol mine are plastic tampon like tubes so I never experienced that....lol
-
@FaithFertility: Oh no, I am so sorry to hear.
-
@FaithFertility: I am so very sorry for your loss. Hugs.
-
@FaithFertility: Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
As for me, I just had my day 14 ultrasound and they found one mature follicle at 17mm. Lining looked good. I triggered today and IUI is scheduled for tomorrow.
Tomorrow going to be a crazy day. DH has plane to catch at 9am. Bright and early at 5am, we are going to take his checked bag to the airport. Then go home so he can collect his 'goods.' He has to drop off his 'goods' at 7am at the RE and I'm going to take him to the airport to catch his flight. Crazy! I know. Then I have to get to work, do some things. Have my acupuncture appt at 9:45a followed by IUI at 11a.
With work and this IUI, it feels like I'm fitting a whole work week in 3 days!
Can't wait for Thanksgiving to relax.
-
@bluestriped bee: You can do it! Glad that the plan wasn't scheduled for today, I heard traffic was nuts with Obama's visit.
She's one of my besties and she had some IF issues of her own so I am really genuinely happy for her. It still makes me a little sad for myself, but no bitterness towards her.
So stinky, ok no it SUCKS!
