Hellobee Boards

@FliegepilzHut: awesome, best of luck!

I am ok right now. In a pretty good mood lately (hence my increased activity on HB.) Still in the TWW, just not sure which day. Tested today, negative.

Tomorrow DH and I go to London for a long weekend, yay! I already reserved tix for the London Eye and Jersey Boys the musical. Woo hoo. So that's a nice little distraction.

That's all that we have planned for the Summer, until September when we go to the Cape Cod area for a wedding. Then we are going to Mexico, to an all inclusive resort! I've never been to one before. So we are trying to get all buff and stuff for that, lol. I'm so bad about going to the gym. Blah.

Other than that, just floating along. I will try to keep up with this thread but it can move really fast and I feel like we've accumulated a lot of new folks, so it's hard to keep up! Also, when I'm feeling down, I tend to stay off HB, so who knows.

@FliegepilzHut: Exciting, best of luck to you!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I find my HB activity is correlated with my mood as well. You're definitely not alone!

No travel plans here. Just saving, saving, and more saving for our late summer/early fall house hunt!

No substantial updates here; I'm still "hanging out." I'm in the TWW, AF is expected this weekend. I've been contemplating visiting a chiropractor to get checked out and aligned...even if it doesn't impact my TTC journey (although I hope it does), it can't hurt, right?

I'm still hanging out waiting to get my CD22 blood work on Saturday, then we wait for results. DH has been taking vitamins to see if they'll help with his motility, but I guess we won't know unless I get pregnant or we got for another SA in a few months.

We go on vacation in a week and a half so I'm looking forward to some R&R with DH and his family!

@doxielove: I was going to the chiro for a few months last year because of sciatic nerve pain. I didn't get pregnant, but I always felt sooo much better after getting adjusted. I'm thinking about going back- I feel very stiff!

@babycanuck: I'm so happy for you that you got a second opinion! I hope you get a diagnosis at the very least (of course bfp is what I really hope you get )

@Boopers: Thanks for the perspective! I think I'm definitely going to make an appointment. I found an office/doctor that has some good reviews so I'm going to try to book an appointment for next week, if possible.

@macintosh: Wishing your hubby luck today! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

@Sunshine1810: Please do post some puppy pictures next week!

I'm not really in the mood for chatting. My apologies as always. Sending all of you

Just having those BFN blues and general life issues. Had my beta and just waiting for the results.

@macintosh: whoa, that's neat! My DH actually really perked up to IVF when the doctor told him we'd get pictures of the embryos, so I'm sure he would have loved to see pics of his swimmers.

@bluestriped bee: *hugs*

Just chugging along here on this journey. Have my first monitoring appointment for this cycle (Letrozole, IUI) tomorrow. CD11, I'm sure they will see absolutely zip and have me come back for one or two more.

@macintosh: that's awesome!

@macintosh: Yay, that's wonderful news! I've been following your updates, and I'm so happy to hear that the surgery was a success. Hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on out for you guys!

I had my cd21 blood draw today. I hope things look ok-supposed to get the results next week. Based on temping it looks like I ovulated on day 16-opk also indicated this day. I asked my OB if we should wait until it was 7 days post ovulation but she said it didn't matter. This seems contradictory to some of the things I've read...

@macintosh: good for you guys!
@bluestripedbee: I'm sorry you're feeling the blues

@macintosh: Yay!! GREAT news! And how awesome is it that you have a picture!?

@doxielove: I totally agree. If it doesn't help you get pregnancy, it definitely won't hurt! Do you know any chiros that have had specific training in fertility? Our chiro also does kinesiology, which allows him to figure out how our bodies are deficient and how to help that with high quality supplements. We just started this month, so I'm curious to see how it goes as well. I just love 'natural' health stuff.

Good luck everyone! Nothing is different here. I can't believe it's Thursday already!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: yay for a long weekend getaway. We've got London on our list of places to go in 2 years.

@Sunshine1810: keeping my FX that those lines start to darken!

@doxielove: I've been thinking about looking into alternatives to an RE and maybe trying more holistic/natural routes. A chiropractor sounds awesome. I'm thinking of Chinese medicines (although I really can't keep it down) and acupuncture as a possible alternative.

@Boopers: FX for your bloodwork and that the vitamins are working for your DH! Is your CD22 bloodwork to confirm that you ovulated?

@babycanuck: How was your HSG experience? FX that you get the answers from the new clinic!

@bluestriped bee: Sending as much positive vibes to you as possible!

@PurplePumps: good luck with tomorrow's us!

@GreenThumb: So exciting! Good luck with next week's u/s!

@winter_wonder: FX that the progesterone will be high! My RE always does CD21 testing but my cd13 u/s usually shows that I am ready to ovulate.

I was able to find someone to cover for me and will be going through with the HSG before my trip. I really hope I get to be one of the ones with the easy experiences.

Holy cow! I'm on CD11 and had a 14mm follie this morning! This will be the earliest I've O'd in my life. I'm shocked that the response to the meds are so different this time. They said depending on the blood work, it could be anytime from Sat-Mon, I'll hear back from them later this afternoon.

No update for me. I am waiting for AF to arrive and then I will start BCP for my IVF cycle in July.

@mrswin: Do you go in Monday, too? I'm supposed to go in on Monday, as long as AF arrives Sunday as scheduled.

Monday I will hopefully start BCP for IVF! If I make it into the study, I will do three weeks of BCP first, however, if I don't qualify (which is likely actually), then we will skip the BCP and do the quick protocol I did before so retrieval and transfer would only be a few weeks out, since I'd start stims very soon. Either way, happy to get started soon!

@babycanuck: I had a biopsy last fall and I thought it was on par with a (not bad) HSG. I've actually had IUIs that were more painful when they struggled with the catheter. I hope it goes smoothly!

@mrswin: Oh, so you were early!! I was wondering last night if I'd be early since I had cramping, but so far nothing so that is good because my husband has already scheduled off work Monday so I really hope AF sticks to "my plan". Can't wait to hear how your appt. goes Sunday!! Are you getting even more excited now?!!

@Jenn23: Haha only a day or so early, I was thinking Sunday for AF because my last cycle was a little on the longer side but I seem to be back to my regular 29 days now

@winter_wonder: Typically you ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive OPK which would be CD17 or CD18. What day is your temp shift? I would just suggest that when you get your numbers back that you keep in mind that its not a true 7dpo...should be close enough
