@Kaohinani: wahoo!! Praying for your blessing! I hope this is it for you!
-
@Sams Mom: thats awesome they could fit you in! Fingers crossed for quick results.
-
@SweetCaroline: Thank you!
Prayers and happy thoughts are always appreciated. -
@SweetCaroline: how are things going for you? Any non symptoms?
AFM: Now I'm just waiting for a radiologist to review the images
-
@Sams Mom: how long before you get results?
No indications of anything. My Wondfos are dead, expired. Its snowpocalypse here so I don't even want to stop at drugstore. I Googled "Can FRER freeze (Amazon order!)?" The internet thought that was a bad idea. I might have to settle for the sure fire pregnancy test mentioned a few pages back. Surely in 9 months the snow storm will be over.
-
@SweetCaroline: 1-2 days for the radiologist to review
As to the toothpaste pregnancy test, I sure how snow clears up before then
-
@SweetCaroline: Hahaha! The toothpaste test!
-
@Sams Mom: @Kaohinani: ah yes, the toothpaste test
-
@Sams Mom: Fantastic. So there weren't any "WOW, I've never seen THIS before?!" OR, "Geez, what is THIS?!?!" If not, that is awesome news!
-
@Kaohinani: I think they stress test ultrasound techs. Because of all the ultrasounds for Sam, and for some of Tom's issues, never once have there been any exclamations. Even though they had some weird stuff going on. π€·ββοΈ
-
@Sams Mom: I'll have to ask my aunt's DW about that as she is an xray tech ... I mean R is pretty laid-back and she has a fairly dry sense of humor, but I think a huge growth or an extra organ would even catch her off guard.
-
@Kaohinani: I've scoured my patient portal for my images to see if I could Google myself to death, and I don't think they release them until the radiologist looks at it.
-
@Kaohinani: I'm sorry I was too focused on my crazy that I didn't respond to your appointment. Sorry
That all sounds great! I can't wait to see what your follies look like on Friday! How much do you think this will delay ovulation? Or will it even delay ovulation since you're using meds to get them growing at a better rate?
None the less I am so hopeful for this cycle for you!
-
@Sams Mom: No worries!
-
@Sams Mom: To respond, Follistim will delay OV until trigger or one stops using the injections. However, if the follies are large enough to trigger by CD10 or 11 (which will be 18+ mm), they will ask one to do so and ovulation occurs within 36 hours of the trigger. In that case, OV would occur around or only be a day (or 2) past my usual OV time (which is CD8-12). In any case, the follies would be considerably larger and have a higher chance of containing a mature, viable ova for a higher percentage rate of fertilization.
Honestly, π€ IDK when I will OV since I don't know the rate of growth for my follicles as this is my first cycle so I have nothing to compare it too. π€·ββοΈ I can't wait to find out though. I give myself my 1st injection at 7 EST! Eeek!
God, I hope this stuff works. Three years is a long wait while TTC. I am just hoping for my little #3 (or even a #4 in there, too!). -
First injection down - 3 more to go until we see if there is any progress with my follicles.
-
@Kaohinani: yay! First one has to be the hardest, right? Good luck!!
-
@Kaohinani: It's good to hear your first injection went well and I have very high hopes this will do the trick for you!
-
@MsHangry: @Paranundrum:
Thank you, ladies! I truly appreciate the well wishes and positivity for this cycle.
-
Umm.... I don't feel sick, just tired
-
@Sams Mom: That's impressive.
-
@Sams Mom: Wow, lady. That is a crazy temp spike! (I wonder if TD will adjust it tomorrow?) I am hoping you get a BFP today.
Sorry so brief - got back from working out and now getting G and I ready for his speech therapy.
P.S. Injection went beautifully last night (IDK if you got my posts). A little bloated this morn (like I normal get before OV) and minor bruising under the injection site (see pic ... IDK if you can see the yellow-green bruising directly under the bandage). Nothing else (yet). -
@Kaohinani: I hope that's your bellybutton and not the corner of your eye as I thought it was at first quick glance.
-
@paranundrum:
-
@Kaohinani: But it would be pretty hardcore to rock a face tattoo and shoot fertility meds straight in your cheek.
-
@paranundrum: Agreed. But I am nowhere near that "hardcore."
Okay, off and running for the morning. -
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: so I'm 11 DPO today. Going to pick up FRER tonight. Should I wait for FMU or do you think it's late enough that I can test tonight?
-
@SweetCaroline: Longwinded and overly logical answer - Until 12 dpo, I usually take mine with FMU; however, by 13 dpo, I abide by the "make sure you are dehydrated and hold your pee until you HAVE to go" logic. That is just my preference. If you consider that implantation usually occurs from 6-12 dpo, I don't think it matters what time one tests as long as they are dehydrated and there is a readable amount of HCG in one's system, as some people implant early and double HCG quickly and others implant later and double every 72 hours. So, it is completely up to you π€·ββοΈ. I wish you oodles and oodles of luck
π€.P.S. I could almost bet my bippy that Sam's Mom will say, "POAS now ... Pee on ALL the sticks!"
-
@Sams Mom: Where are you? I hope everything is okay.
-
@Kaohinani: yes wondering the same about @SamsMom. Iβm following along from Greece - just trying to be in the moment with DH and DD, so not on as frequently. Glad your injection went ok!
-
@Kaohinani: @yellowbeach: currently neurotically refreshing my patient portal for radiology reports. Even emailed my doctor about what happens after, hoping to hear he had them but hadn't got to me yet. She looked at both sides twice and clicked measurements A LOT! I'm a hot mess of stress, and anxious for tomorrow to see what TD does with my 100 degree temp from this morning.
-
@SweetCaroline: I would pee on all the sticks, but only after minimum fluid intake... or wait until morning.
-
@yellowbeach: Thank you!
Hope you all are having a spectacular time ... I can't wait to hear stories! -
@Sams Mom: Hun, you need to calm yourself as stressing THAT much isn't good for you and it won't make the test results come any quicker.
Incidentally, as I am sure you read WAYYYYY up from after you posted, I am also anxiously awaiting to see your BBT tomorrow. π€ -
@SweetCaroline:
-
Hi girls, popping in with a BFP on Saturday. Following a miscarriage in November (3rd mc in total) I have zero excitement, but plenty of hope!
Waiting around for some symptoms...
-
@Sams Mom: Step away from the portal and go keep busy somehow!!!
-
@Kaohinani: Walled ya.
(September 2019 Mama)
Good luck, ladies!
