@FaithFertility: thinking of you today hope AF stays away!!
-
@bluestriped bee: How is the TWW
So happy for you that you are there!!!!!! 
-
@bhbee: Thank you!
-
@FaithFertility: Rats! Ok well here's to hoping you had a late implanter and AF stays away.
-
Just popping in to see some of my favorite ladies on the board. Wishing you all good luck and I'm off to read Pinata's blog post.
-
@mrs. jacks: hi there!
@lazypanda: how are you symptoms?
@shutterbug: so you'll be going for IVF round 2 in March? Do you have tentative dates set yet?
Are you guys doing anything for the Super Bowl? I wanted to join friends, but my husband says he really wants to concentrate on the game.
I have stuff to make food here and have a little party with just the two of us and our dog!
-
@FaithFertility: good luck! I'm looking forward to hearing your results.
@bluestripedbee: FX for a smooth 2ww.
@happygal: Thanks for asking. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster of emotions, like I'm a newbie ttc-er. I still have super sensitive nipples and boobs and had to push DH away several times b/c it hurt. I also had light pink stuff show up on my TP after my FMU yesterday and was getting super excited in the hopes that it was implantation bleeding or something to that effect. Unfortunately, I just received my progesterone test results back and its only at 1.4 so I'm pretty bummed now. I quickly emailed my RE's office and will just have to wait for a phone call or email from them tomorrow. Feeling pretty discouraged right now and would like more answers.
But, in the spirit of "practice what you preach," and some of the previous posters wrote, I have to start thinking positively again or look for the silver lining to this:
1. My 1.4 level at CD21 is so much better than my 0.4 level at CD61.
2. I have a super supportive DH who humors me when I ask if he thinks my boobs are bigger and happily obliges to check every 10 minutes if needed.
3. To be super optimistic: I can be an anomaly and maybe there's still a shot for me to get preggers if I have progesterone supplements with this cycle.
-
@lazypanda: Positive thoughts help!!!! ill send some your way too!!!
-
@Happygal: No plans DH works tonight so I kind of am off the hook with watching the game!
I think I will crawl in bed early and watch Bad reality T.V. maybe....lol
-
@lazypanda: those are all good points! I hope the RE calls you first things tomorrow morning. Have you ever experienced spotting like that before?
@faithfertility: don't forget the commercials and half time show! You can flip between bad reality TV and the game.
-
@Happygal: Yes, have you seen the new Budweiser commercial?!?!? With the puppy?? So stinking cute!
-
@FaithFertility: not yet! I love dogs though, so I'm sure it's a winner. I've seen some puppy bowl action and like seeing their puppy tears.
-
@faithfertility: Thanks! and I concur with @happygal, Super Bowl commercials are pretty fun to watch, although I won't be tuning in this year.
@happygal: I have never experienced any of the symptoms (sore boobs and spotting) before which is why I feel like I'm a newbie ttc-er again. I've felt nauseous during my 80 day cycle (the most recent) and during this cycle (experienced twice after when I thought I O'd).
We won't be able to catch the game as we have a family dinner with DH's side of the family. Won't be too bummed about missing the game since my team didn't make it to the Super Bowl this year.
-
AF arrived today to end this chemical! I am so excited for a new cycle!!
we're not really into the game but we might watch a few commercials. we need to catch up on downton abbey instead . . .
-
@bhbee: Glad to hear!!!!! Have a wonderful evening!
-
@bhbee: good news. Day 1 feels so good when you've been waiting for it!
-
AF is here
sad, but ready to just get going with what is next!
Game Plan: I am going to ask for more testing to rule out genetic/immune issues as we have had 3 IUIs 2ended in CPs back to back and then this cycle...I just can't see doing another with out that information first!
In the mean time I'm not going to let the month go to waste....
We will try natuarally... hey crazier things have happened....with that said I will use OPKs it has been awile.any recommendations?!?!? -
@faithfertility:
hugs!!! I think that's a good game plan. It's reasonable to get some testing.
-
We ended up not watching after a few minutes into the third quarter. Depressing game for Broncos fans!
@bhbee: cheers to a new cycle! Are you doing an upped dose of Clomid this cycle?
@FaithFertility: I'm sorry.
You have such a positive spirit about it all! OPKs advice. . . buy the cheapos on Amazon. There is a little insert telling you when to start testing. I test in the afternoon. Sometimes I start to debate, "Is this a positive?" but when it is a positive, I know it pretty quickly. I try to remind myself of that when I'm tilting the sticks and looking at them from all angles.
-
@FaithFertility: so sorry about AF. Hugs
this will be my first time doing opks in a while too and I just ordered some wondfos! I would definitely try to get the repeat loss panel done - many docs will do it after 2 chemicals now. It never gave me answers but I'm glad to have some things ruled out@Happygal: yes trying a higher dose of clomid - I remembered I need to take it at night to manage the side effects
-
@Faithfertility: @bhbee: maybe we'll be POAS buddies! That's a positive outlook right? AF arrived this morning for me and RE doubled my Letrozole (femara). They'll still have me go in for a CD21 progesterone test. If, I don't get a BFP after 3 medicated tries, then they'll talk about the next options.
FX for all of us. I hope everyone has a great Monday!
-
@lazypanda: yay to us all moving forward with the next cycle!
-
Love this board and you ladies!!!!! On to the next!!!!!!!!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: You are a sight for sore eyes! Miss you around here!
@bhbee: I'm glad you're starting fresh. Good luck with this next cycle. Have everything crossed for you!
@FaithFertility: Aw I'm sorry friend. That really is disappointing.
If your doc is willing I think that some testing is a good idea - especially if it's what you need to move forward.
You know we had chromosomal testing (karyotyping) so if it gets to that reach out.
In the mean time, have fun trying the old fashioned way It's true, you just never know. My BFF got pregnant on her first IUI after a year of trying naturally. Unfortunately she miscarried, but then she didn't get her period again to kick off her first post-MC cycle. So she went to the doc to see if the D&C did something and it turns out that when they had sex after the miscarriage she got pregnant! Miracles do happen He always has a plan. @lazypanda: You too?! Oh rats. Sorry lady, hope this next cycle brings you a BFP! xo
-
@FaithFertility: I also am so grateful for this little pocket of HB! I love that it's a positive group, but I also feel very comfortable sharing when I'm feeling down. And I'm ready to start seeing some good news from this group.
-
@LindsayInNY: Thinking of you! Hope your TWW is fast and brings a sticky baby!
-
@SweetiePie: I agree! DH and I have been talking about a nice vaca and well I came home to him showing me our booked cruise confermation! :)))))
Hoping some relaxing and Sun gives us a miracle! -
