Hellobee Boards

@MrsMcD: @MrsMccarthy: thank you friends! I will definitely keep you all up to date! I like thinking about being at the "tail end" of my tww but it feels like it will still be a while...but a week from now I should definitely know either way. That is comforting.

@GoGoSnoGirl: welcome! Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope that your BFP is right around the corner!

@lilyofthewest: fingers crossed for you!

@GoGoSnoGirl: Welcome!! I'm so sorry about your loss. I think you will find a lot of support here from girls who have gone through similar experiences. I am hoping you get your rainbow baby soon! I added your POAS date to the list.

@lilyofthewest: Lucky you in the TWW! I'm waiting to O still. Thank you for indulging us with your tests!!

@organicmama: Oh my gosh! I can't believe you saw a bfp plate. That's awesome! And 4th grade.... That is such a sweet age for kids. They are so impressionable, too. You will be such a great teacher, I can imagine.

Now down to business here: When is O date for you? How soon after your HSG did you start BDing? Do you plan to do every day or every other day? And did you get massive amounts of EWCM after your HSG? Sorry for all the questions!! Thank you in advance for your responses!!

Thanks everyone for the sweet and encouraging words!

@mrsmcd: After my HSG in May we got busy 3 days later. That month we hit O-3, O-2, O, and O+1. BUT in my case it didn't work probably because of my hormone levels. The blocked tubes just weren't my problem. I don't really remember any ewcm at all. But then I haven't really had that in a long time. I'm thinking this month we will bust out the preseed and try Mucinex starting cd12.

@gogosnogirl: welcome!

Good morning everyone. I overslept hot yoga (again), and am debating on what to do for exercise. The new acupuncturist discouraged running, since hitting the bottom of the feet hard can affect one of the meridians related to fertility. I would like to lose 5-10 pounds. I am leaning toward running anyway. I don't go that fast or long. I am just having trouble getting motivated today.

@MrsMcD: I went running, although more like jogging. We have really nice asphalt trails in my neighborhood that I run on. I walked 5 minutes, ran 10, walked 3, ran 10, walked 5. I am tired of giving up stuff to get a BFP and not, and I am trying to tell myself that I am NTNP this month.

@nicolechris11212: I'm so excited for your RE appointment!

Why is this thread slow lately?!? What are you all girls up to?

I peed on an OPK today just to entertain myself. Negative at CD10 as I totally expected.

@AmeliaBedilia: 34 is not old. I have about 100 friends having babies right now (yes- 100) and they are all early-30s AND saying they are on the younger side in waiting rooms! And when I was 35 and having a freak-out, my doctor pointed out that if he had a 36 or even 37-yr-old patient come in and say "I'm pregnant", he wouldn't even bat an eye. Just get her on prenatals ASAP. That made me feel heaps better! Don't you worry, Sugar!
As for exercise, did you know that you burn the same amount of calories if you walk 3 miles or run 3 miles? (Walking would just take longer time). So, if you're worried abt running, give walking a go! Equally good stress reliever, too.
Also, my naturopath is convinced that my losing 7 pounds was the sole reason for getting KU. She was almost excited, wishing ALL of her patients would just lose a little weight - that it makes SUCH a difference to your hormone balance! So, that's good to know. It's really not THAT hard, especially with a possible pregnancy to motivate you. Trust me!
So, GO FITNESS-GIRLS, GO!

@AmeliaBedilia: Has your doctor mentioned clomid?

@AmeliaBedilia: So how long do you think you will keep trying as you are?

@AmeliaBedilia: I think you have all kinds of hope! Some things just take time! If you don't want to do low level fertility interventions/assistance, and you don't want to do IVF, then all you can do is just continue to have hot sex with your husband and wait this one out. I have a friend who just got pregnant after 2.5 years of trying. If that doesn't give you hope, then I don't know what will.

thank you ladies, HB has been great to help me realize I'm not alone in all of this. I do have friends and family who are supporting me, & DH is wonderful, but it's nice to just read about and talk to those of you who truly understand!

@AmeliaBedilia: sorry to hear you are struggling! I have two things to share: first, stop reading doom and gloom articles! I mean that in the nicest possible way, but I think it helps to focus on the positive and remember that those articles don't know you and your specific situation so they can shove it!

Second, I think age is less of a big deal than it used to be. I was 34 when I had an m/c last year and the MA was saying how many more 36 &37 year olds she is seeing with boring pregnancies...so hope is not lost! Hugs!

Speaking of waiting for testers, I am sitting here at 10/11 dpo trying my best not to test until I get a little closer, and trying not to madly symptom spot in the meantime. I am feeling more optimistic and impatient to test this cycle, not sure why? I do want to wait until at least Saturday ( AF is due Monday) plus I only have frer in the house and I don't want to waste it.

@AmeliaBedilia: 34 is not old! I had DS at 33 and I'm pregnant with a little girl at 35.

AF came this morning...on to cycle #10 I guess.

Good luck to the upcoming testers! I will be cheering you all on!

Mega disappointed - I went to the bathroom and didn't pee on an OPK. Womp womp.

Just wanted to pop to say hi and give you all my .

Work stress is finally someone else's problem and I am headed to the beach!!!

@MamaCate: I love when you perceive there to be "signs" like that! I really am a fan of not testing. But I like to encourage people to test nonetheless! So in reality, I fully support you waiting for as long as you can.

@septca: I miss you around here, lady! Have fun at the beach, you lucky girl!

@ctegge0416: Oh man,... I'm on CD 11. BDing commenced yesterday following my HSG on Monday. O is expected on Sunday. This time is moving so slow! What CD are you?!? You are early in your cycle, right??
