Hellobee Boards

@Happygal: happy birthday!!

Cool I don't have a great feeling about this cycle (13) but we'll see what happens and then hopefully hubs will be rational about our next steps. My temps have been wacky this week (O week) because of my sleeping so I have no idea when I actually O'd and neither does FF. I did order some wondfos but they won't be here for another week.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Congradulations! I really hope this is your sticky baby.

@Leialou: I'm so sorry.

@Happygal: I'm highly prone to motion sickness, and I barely had any issues on the cruise we took. So if it happens, you may luck out with being the same amount of miserable you would've been at home Where are you going?

So far all is still well. I'll be 7w tomorrow (crazy!) My first u/s is on Tuesday and I go between being confident and totally nervous. But I've been a bit sicker the past few days, so that has me feeling more hopeful. Nothing unmanageable though.

@babycanuck: Welcome! I just moved over here the other week

I have been doing pretty good this month.. I am pretty sure I had my LH surge yesterday/last night, and made sure to dtd. =) My dr. will be calling me Monday with my u/s results of follicle sizes since an u/s tech did the scan.

Looks like I am just waiting to get my progesterone blood draw and go from there next week!

@Mrs.Someone: yay to 7weeks

@mrs bunchy: let us know the results! I'm glad things are going well for you.

@faithfertility: No cruising yet--we'll be headed out in February.

I went to the RE yesterday and we talked about what to do. He put 3 options on the table: 1) be more aggressive this cycle, upping my medication dosage; 2) have surgery to take care of what he is certain is endometriosis; 3) IVF. It made my head spin. We're doing the more aggressive meds this time, which makes me nervous but hopeful.

@FaithFertility: I'd love to hear about your cruise experiences! I've only been on one before and enjoyed it. Which cruise line did you travel with, and where did you go? My husband and I always do road trip-adventure types of vacations together, so I'm really looking forward to just relaxing.

For the last two injectable cycles, we've done a low and slow approach. The goal was more to get my lining thickened up, and I think I only had 2 eggs (maybe just 1?) the first cycle, and just 1 last time. The dosage is much higher this time to hopefully get up to 3 eggs, and my husband has given the green light for an IUI. I'm nervous about how my body is going to react, and that my husband will once again change his mind last minute. And I'm nervous that if it does work, we could have twins!

@FaithFertility: we'll be on Celebrity in the eastern Caribbean!

@Leialou: I'm just now seeing this, and I am so, so sorry. Sending you hugs and peace

@Happygal: happy belated birthday!

@Mrs.Someone: I'm ready to hear some good news about your u/s on Tuesday

My update for the week is that we decided to announce on FB today. I was nervous, mostly because FB announcements can be really hard to take. But I tried to do it with tact, and I referenced the road that it took to get here. I hope it was the right thing to do. It's crazy that it's really, really not a secret anymore!

@leialou: so sorry to hear.

@mrs. someone: congrats to being 7wks! I'm 2wks behind you and am anxiously waiting for my u/s which is scheduled for next week. This waiting is driving me crazy!

@gingerbebe: Wow! That's crazy! But crazy good! Hoping its a nice, sticky baby for you!

@gingerbebe: what a wonderful surprise! Congrats.

@sweetiepie: oh my! I'm sure you're on pins and needles. Fingers crossed the Estradiol quickly does the trick for you.

@LovelyPlum: I think when my time comes I will do the same, since I know how hard it is to see those posts.....

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I've been thinking about you! I'm sorry you're really down. Did you hear back from the therapist who cancelled, or are you over seeing her? I understand if you need breaks from HB from time to time, but do hope you'll check in with us. How were the holidays?

I'm in the waiting room at the re right now. Twins are throwing an incredible fit. I told my husband it helps me to feel temporarily ok with not having any babies right now!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: Aw sorry you're feeling so down. But if there's anywhere to vent and throw pity parties, it's here! So post away!
I had a horrible day on Saturday. I was a horrible bitch to my inlaws and was so negative to my husband. It was a beautiful day otherwise. We surprised his mom with a visit and gift, went to lunch, then DH and I went shopping alone and he spoiled me (since he knows this IVF stuff is tough). I pretended in my mind that something he and his dad had done earlier in the day is what made me mad. But in the end I knew I wasn't mad at any of them, I was just sad and taking it out on them. I spent the night crying and apologizing to him. My point is, we get it! You're sad and it's better to be a negative Nancy to us than anyone in real life

@Happygal: I do the same thing! When I see crying screaming babies I use it as a temporary comfort. Lol. At least I can sleep in, ignore crying babies, go out with friends without needing a sitter, etc. Of course I'd give up all of that for a baby of our own, but in the short term when that's not possible, or right after a bfn, that makes me feel a little better

@SweetiePie: I was a major B-word last cycle. I think it was a potent combo of disappointment+holidays+hormones. I'd be fine one minute, then so angry with my husband the next, then anxious after snapping that he would finally be fed up with my craziness!

@Happygal: Such a late response but I'm at 7DPO as of today! So back in the TWW. Again.
