@FliegepilzHut: Thank you, friend
@Mrs. Pinata: I can post it to your wall tomorrow! I think I'm going to try it; if anything maybe it will soothe me!
I'm starting to realize it is very common, which breaks my heart.@bhbee: So good to see you! Thanks for popping in
Stories like yours give me hope, and I appreciate it so much.
How's everything going with you? -
-
@Kelli_Deluxe: oh I know. So sad.
and I didn't mean to minimize your pain at all. Just wanting to encourage you with a success story. I wanted to be sure my post cam across ok. -
@Sunshine1810: hope the retrieval went well!!!!! Fx !
-
@Shutterbug: congrats with getting fit !!
it's a hard thing to do- but once you get started, it makes you feel wonderful.
-
@Kelli_Deluxe: thinking of you! I've had 2 m/c myself. The thought of a 3rd terrifies me! I never thought. 2nd would happen.
silly body!
-
Just got home from Florida last night! It was a wonderful time of sitting by the beach and sipping rum runners
now DH and I have parked ourselves on the couch and are watching a Payne Stewart special and gearing up for the US Open. I clearly lost the remote battle! HSG is Wednesday! Kinda nervous- but glad that day is almost here. I have a script for doxy, but forgot when he said to take it. I will call tomorrow to check- any experiences with an abx before/after HSG ?
-
@Mrs. Pinata: Oh gosh no! It did come across positively!
@mrs bunchy: Exactly; silly body. I think the 2nd was worse in a way bc we were so hopefully that that was it. Now we are definitely gun-shy
I took doxy for my HSG. The script was for 4 pills and my doctor had me take 1 the day before, 1 the morning of the HSG, 1 that night, then 1 the next day. Good luck! -
So I decided to POAS because its Father's Day and thought it would be a nice surprise. It's 10 DPO and it was
I know there's still a chance to be pregnant, but my hope for this cycle just dramatically dropped. Just going to wait for the blood draw on Thursday.
-
@bluestriped bee: Ugh, sorry about your negative, that would have been a great gift for today!
So yeah, since it's Father's Day and all, clearly I have nothing to do. DH isn't even home right now, he's at a friend's house watching World Cup. I have no interest in it.
We did decide though, that if I don't get pregnant in July (when I'll be 34, oh what joy) we will go back to the fertility clinic here, because there is a new doctor, who has replaced my old doctor there (who I was mad at.) I have a friend who has been to see this new doc, and she said it's worth to go and talk to her. SO...! I think we will ask to do injectables again, if nothing else than to speed along this process.
FF still hasn't confirmed O, but I know I did at some point, b/c my am temps have reached the 98 degree level. So I guess I'm in the TWW, just no idea what DPO.
-
@Kelli_Deluxe: I was the same way with the 2nd!!! I have a script for 4 doxy as well. I bet I'll end up taking it the way you did.
-
@bluestriped bee: still early !!!
-
@bluestriped bee: Definitely still early! I think even 11 DPO is still early, so who knows what will happen in 2 days?
@TheSwissWifeStyle: It feels good to have a plan, doesn't it? I hope you get a BFP before then though!
-
@bluestriped bee: Hugs! I echo everyone else in saying it's still early. I hope you're able to stay busy the next few days to try to keep your mind off it. Think positive!
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Glad you have a plan! I'm a firm believe that the doctor makes the difference and I hope this new doctor helps you get to where you want to be!
-
@Mrs. Pinata: @Kelli_Deluxe: , thanks!
-
@Kelli_Deluxe: The bulk of your testing is over, sounds like all came back clear
Have you been tested/screeened for urea plasma? It's a rare bacteria that is dormant in males and females but can cause uterine inflamtion and m/c?I was screened for it and ended up testing positive, they put both me and my DH on 10 days of strong antibiotics to clear it and it was that cycle I got my BFP, just a simple test like a pap, but something else to look into!
-
@bluestriped bee: Prayers! Still so early
-
@mrs bunchy: I believe I took them 2 days before and day of, thete was 3.....best of luck and it will be over quick!!!!!
-
@Sunshine1810: good luck with tomorrow's transfer!
@Kelli_Deluxe: FX for you. I'm glad you have a plan in place, but sending positive thoughts that you'll get your rainbow baby soon.
@mrs bunchy: The HSG will be here before you know it! Good luck!
@bluestriped bee: sorry about the negative. FX that its early.
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Do you think you'll just wait for AF to arrive or is there a time frame you'll think of testing on?
@FliegepilzHut: I really hope those socks will bring about additional good luck!
I caved and tested today and it was a BFN. I was also thinking that it would be nice to let DH enjoy father's day if we were pregnant. Tomorrow is my official "test" date but it doesn't look promising. I told DH that I think we should take a break from TTC-ing. He still thinks we should try but its getting progressively harder to remain hopeful. I feel that Hawaii will be a nice break for the both of us. I also booked our Yosemite trip for the end of summer as something else to look forward to. I'm tired of letting TTC control/dictate our plans. For those who have been trying for so much longer, kudos to you ladies for being able to get through this.
-
@lazypanda: Thank you!!! DH and I are driving up to the hotel near the hospital right now. I'm SOOO nervous! Fx for a BFP for you!!! I can understand wanting to take a break. I hate TTC dictating our plans as well. Finally during the last year (year 3) I decided not to let it dictate my decisions about plans and travel, and I am in a much better place mentally. Hang in there! HUGS!
-
@FaithFertility: I've never even heard of that! Is that very common? I'll add it to my list to ask my doctor about; thank you!
@lazypanda: I'm sorry about your bfn
I think taking some vacations sounds like the perfect way to enjoy each other and take some time "off." Hugs!
-
@bluestriped bee: Is your current plan for 1 or 2 more IUI's (if necessary)? Fingers still crossed for you...
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Good luck to you this cycle and with the new doctor, if you wind up going...
@mrs bunchy: I hope your HSG is easy and pain-free! (Mine really was.).
@lazypanda: I'm sorry for your BFN. I think your travel schedule with DH sounds wonderful, though! You should definitely take a break or "NTNP" if you can for a couple months... IF/TTC is exhausting!!!
Thank you again for the well-wishes and socks! They are going to get worn a lot during these next few weeks)!@Sunshine1810: Oh my!!!!
-
@Kelli_Deluxe: no the bacteria is not common, but he tested me due to 2 c/p back to back
it's easy so worth a shot
-
@lazypanda: I had a forced break from meds as we waited for my laparoscopy. Just two months was a great time for my body and soul. I'm sorry you're feeling worn out, but am glad you have such great trips to look forward to!
Lots of
to you all.
-
@Happygal: Thanks! Hope you're well!
-
@FliegepilzHut: thanks!!
We are on our way home from transferring 2 beautiful embryos! Sticky thoughts and prayers appreciated!!!
-
@Sunshine1810:
& ! Lots of sticky thoughts coming your way!
-
@Sunshine1810: Lots of
love, thoughts and prayers!
-
@FaithFertility: thank you!!!
-
@Sunshine1810: So excited for you!!! Stick, embryos, stick!!!!
-
@Sunshine1810: @Kelli_Deluxe: @FliegepilzHut: @Happygal: thank you for the words of encouragement. It helps hearing from everyone on here how they are coping. I feel like every time I reach out to friends IRL, while they mean well, it doesn't sound the same or I feel like my experience may sometimes be minimized.
I had pink tinged CM this morning so I'm thinking AF is on it's way. Better that I get it this week so I won't have to deal with it when I'm in Hawaii! Of course, it'd be better if AF stays away for a good nine months (with a BFP, don't want to have an anovulatory cycle).
@Sunshine1810: sticky thoughts for your embryos!
-
@Sunshine1810: Ahhhh yay! Positive thoughts for you and those sticky embies
-
@Sunshine1810: wishing you lots of sticky dust!
-
@lazypanda: That's the spirit! Have a wonderful vacation!

We had a meeting with the RE this morning to discuss, as she likes to put it "a more aggressive approach" if we don't get a BFP soon. basically IVF. DH was actually quite intrigued by IVF and the pictures of the embryos and the sciency-ness of it all. He is on board with it, but just a little concerned with the cost. Our insurance looks like it will cover about one round and possibly a FET if we have any to freeze. It looks like I could start whenever we're ready so we have a timeline now. This Letrozole cycle, if no pregnancy, then start the paperwork for IVF, either another unmonitored Letrozole cycle or a natural cycle since we'll be away for 9 days in Aug. And if by the end of that, no BFP, we will start the IVF cycle at the end of that one. And then I guess we'll see what happens then...
-
@PurplePumps: That's awesome that your insurance would cover it! I think that's a good timeline and plan!
-
Thank you so much to everyone for the prayers and the sticky thoughts!! I am trying to keep myself busy while I am waiting. I have to admit, it's hard to focus at work today. Fortunately I am on vacation all next week to spend time with the puppy!!!! They ended up getting 16 eggs, and 9 fertilized. Out of those 9 we transferred two 8-cell embryos yesterday.
@PurplePumps: Sounds like you have a real solid plan, and that's great that you have some insurance coverage! FX for you!!!
-
@Sunshine1810: congrats! Any word on how the rest are doing today, or do they freeze them on day 3?
-
@Shutterbug: I don't have any word today. They will freeze any that make it to day 5. FX!!!!
