Hellobee Boards

@SunshineMcC: Good luck!!

I try not to go too crazy with treats, but I pretty much eat what I want. This is my first holiday season being vegan, so I think naturally that will help me cut down. I've gained weight since the Summer though. (a few pounds.) I know I haven't been working out at all I definitely want to get back into it, after the new year of course. I'm sure being pregnant/not pregnant/pregnant/not pregnant, etc. has thrown my body for a bit of a loop. (At least I'm hoping I can blame a little bit on that!)

As for updates, nothing really. Still stuck in a holding pattern, as I still haven't gotten a post-mc AF. Some spotting in the last few days, so hopefully it's coming soon. I will start Puregon (Follistim) on CD 5.

@SunshineMcC: good luck tomorrow!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: thinking of you. will they give you provera after a certain amount of time?

@mrswin: exciting! I really hope you like your new RE!

I don't like cookies, but I love carbs so I could eat an entire loaf of my moms cinnamon bread.

I had my third chemical last cycle but never went in for a beta, so my insurance won't cover RPL testing until I have a third loss "on paper". Sooo frustrating! I'm on CD5 & taking Clomid again this cycle. If it's necessary, we are considering an IUI for January...

I'll stick to my diet except on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Those days will be pretty much a free for all.

No real updates... part of me is kinda hoping I have O'd or will O. Haven't had much fertile CM but my cervix has been high and soft the last couple of days. I have no record of Oing on my own without Clomid, so it's probably wishful thinking anyway.

I'm going to call my RE today to ask them if the results to my Rubella blood test came back yet. I am thinking they should be back by now (it's been 2 weeks since I had the blood taken).

@pui: they hate me. I've already raised hell over the ovidrel. Still waiting to hear back from the attorney general..

@brownie: I had a really hard time when searching for a Reproductive immunologist, but someone else pointed me to a Perionatologist who put me on Lovenox post-O. Have you had any autoimmune testing?

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Boo, I hate your insurance

@SunshineMcC: good luck!
@TheSwissWifeStyle: hugs! I hope AF is right around the corner
@mrswin: yay for a fresh set of eyes! Good luck!
@pui: your Rubella saga is insane! I hope you're finally immune!
@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'm so angry at your ins co for you I hope you get your sticky baby this cycle so you don't have to even worry about the RPL testing

I finally have an update! I started BCP last night in preparation for my IVF cycle in January. Although I just got a call from the RE saying that my CD 3 b/w is expired (thanks, lady, for reminding me how freaking long we've been trying!) so I have to skip the BCP tonight and go in for new CD 3 testing tomorrow morning.

@Mrs.Someone: EEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Shutterbug: @Mrs. Jump Rope: @PastaAndPotato: Thanks ladies! I'm only sharing it on here for now, considering my history. Calling the perio doctor as soon as they open (9am I think).

I'm nervous because of how abysmal my P tests came out this month. 11.2, 9.8, 6.7, 3 days in a row. I did put in a P suppository as soon as I confirmed with the FRER, per my ND's instructions. I'm either 12 or 13dpo today. I thought I saw something super duper faint on the wondfo yesterday morning, so I made sure to try again with FMU today. FRER was 1.5hrs later.

@Mrs.Someone: yes, hooray, alright, high fives, so happy for you!!!!!!!!!! Will you stick with your new doctor for now? This is a great update!

@Mrs.Someone: Ah congrats!!!!!

@pui: Thank you

@septca: And you just made my morning, thank you! So sweet

Also, ladies please carry on with your updates, I didn't mean to hijack!

@Mrs.Someone: You should post on the December POAS thread - we could use some good news over there.

Also wanted to add, in case it is useful, that your picture completely mirrors my experience: For all the fuss over FRERs, Wondfos seem much more sensitive in the early days.

@Mrs.Someone: There is one relatively locally (within 4 hours). It came up when I met with one RE that completely blew off all of my concerns and just wanted to cycle me. Um sorry, not going to blow 20K if we don't solve the problems. Grrrr I hate doctors.

@brownie: Good! I'm so glad you're taking control. It pisses me off when doctors brush over m/cs.

@justdarling: Thank you! I'm thinking Lovenox would be a great name, don't you?

@Mrs.Someone: yeah i had one re believe me but he is 10k more expensive than most of the others and i just cant afford it.

@Mrs.Someone: WHat!!!! OMG! Congratulations!

@T.H.O.U.: Thanks

@SunshineMcC: The top one is a Wondfo. They are a little more sensitive than an FRER (in my opinion), and cost around $10 for 20 on Amazon. Same thing that doctors offices use. Saves a ton on HPTs

@Mrs.Someone: AAAAHHHHHH!!!! Congrats, lady!! Come on, sticky baby

@LovelyPlum: @doxielove: Thanks ladies!

Oh boy, let the rollercoaster begin. The perio isn't in today either, but I talked to the nurse. Generally they don't deal with pregnancies until a few weeks later, so they prefer I work with my ND for now (who isn't in the office today). I called her office and explained the situation to the receptionist. They ended up calling her and ordering the P test, yay. I feel bad for bugging her on her off day, but I know shes going to understand...
