Hellobee Boards

@mrs bunchy: how are you feeling? Sore throats are the worst!

@Sprite: woohoo!!!! I haven't read all if the comments yet but CONGRATS!!!

Here's my update: finally got the call this afternoon that my beta was positive and I'm officially pregnant!

Some of you already brought this up earlier today... I haven't been sure how much happy news to share here (or even how much worry to share. "My BFP line isn't all the way dark yet" seems so petty to worry about when I know how much it hurts to have never seen even the faintest of lines.)

As long and emotionally taxing as my journey has felt, I know many of you have been on a tougher, longer road. IF is so unfair, and yet all of you have such positive attitudes and this is such a wonderful community!

I hope it's ok with you all if I continue to hang around here for a while. I'm cheering so hard for all of you!

@bhbee: I know everyone's situation is different. This was actually the first cycle ever that I had any chance at all of getting pregnant. We tried for about 8 months before getting the news in August that it's physically impossible for us to conceive without IVF. On the one hand, it's been a relief not to wonder and hope each cycle, but it's also really sad to me that we'll never ever have an unexpected pregnancy. I'm learning so much from the rest of you about all of the other kinds of IF treatments. I love how much hope there is here!

@thisisme: I know what you mean about never doing it on your own. I feel that way too. But I also think about it wasn't that long ago I would never have had one successful pregnancy! However long it takes - even if it never works again for us - I am so thankful these treatments exist.

@thisisme: Your post was sooo kind! I am soooo excited for you! I love to see BFP on this thread, because I feel it is the hope we all need!!!!!! Prayers!!!!!

I'm sure most of you know- I'm KU. I miscarried march 1st last year .. And that was at 1 yr of trying. So after 2 years, 7 rounds of clomid, and more ultrasounds I can count, we did it!

I promise it can happen for anyone after this! I swear I thought we were out and had to do ivf. I called around a ton of places and got quotes and everything. DH and I were holding off on buying a new car because of wanting to move and the Ivf cost. I feel like I'm still dreaming and won't believe it until the 1st dr appt.

Thank you all so much for your support !! I have been a lurker here for a lonnnggggg time before I decided to come clean and proclaim I have IF issues. Me. Not him.

@mrs bunchy: Congrats!!!! Prayers for H&H 9 months!

@thisisme: congratulations to you too!

HSG Monday March 10

@Happygal: AF is here :)))) I'm excited I got it totally in my own at CD 35ish and no AF on Vaca!!!!!!

Pretty sure this won't be our month - O is sometime this coming weekend and I'll be away. Regardless we'll DTD before I go and when I come back on Sunday and wait to get an appt with the gyno

@lazypanda: Have you ever drank on clomid before? !?!?!? I feel.like it makes my hot flashes worse and made me have headaches! Have fun, but remain aware of your body!!!

Weird weird question...is it bad to BD the night before HSG? should I wait it out?

@FaithFertility: glad you're getting AF out of the way before your trip! I'll make sure to update that for you. How long is your trip for?

@lazypanda: Clomid didn't mess with me too bad--hope it's the same for you! Why are they switching from femara to Clomid? Usually it seems to be the other way around. Where will you be going for your girl's trip?

@lazypanda: How did you like fermara?!?! I am thinking to ask for that if we have another round of IUI once we get somemore testing done!

@just_ju: Thinking of you!!!! Trigger away!!!!!!

@littlek: Okay. I'll wait it out. Did they do a blood test to confirm?

@littlek: haha okay. sorry. I know - stupid questions.

@faithfertility: the first round at 2.5 mg, I was really achy and my boobs were sore and tender. I did not feel anything on my second round at 5 mg. My RE gave me the option of going the clomid or femara route at our first appt after explaining to us the risks and side effects of each drug.

@happygal: My RE decided to be more aggressive this time and put me on the high dose clomid for the next cycle because I did not respond to the femara. He said that it appears that both cycles that I've been on femara did not result in me ovulating. Once I get my CD13 u/s and another WTF phone consult, we'll know what next step will be taken. I'll be in the Big Easy.

@just_ju: FX for tomorrow.

@bhbee: hope your CD3 went well.

@bhbee: I am glad to hear you are starting again! St Pattys Day wanding how lovely
