@Raindrop: I'm sorry I caused you to POAS. But I'm always hopeful for everyone in there!! And you silly.... 8dpo is too early for a test! Don't give any regard for the result.
@mrs. tictactoe: But don't be upset if its a negative tomorrow. You know its too early. What DPO are you again? And please, please share your results!
@Honeygold89: I like your new profile picture!
-
@MrsMcD: tomorrow will be either 11 or 12 dpo, but not positive since I didn't temp or use opks. The last few cycles I have been ovulating around CD 13 or 14, so that's what I'm going off of.
I'm pretty crampy today. Nauseous, but I feel like I am always nauseous during the TWW. I'm also feeling weepy, and that's usually my first sign, from past experience. My eyes will just well up for no reason the last few days. Ugh, I hate getting my hopes up...
-
@MrsMcD: Hehe it wasn't your fault! I probably would have tested soon anyways. And you were just suggesting what I was kind of already thinking.
-
@mrs. tictactoe: Thats right.... I knew there was a reason I couldn't remember your dpo! And I think feeling positive about things isn't necessarily getting your hopes up. Try to just feel happy and grateful either way.
-
Ladies, it's really hard for me to keep up with HB recently. Please know I've been trying to read along as best as possible!
Great news for me - I may get another shot to POAS this month!! I O'd super early this cycle (CD14!! Usually it's CD20). Not sure if it was the HSG, or what. Plus my EWCM has been INSANE this month. Like, disgustingly excessive. (Because you really needed to know that, right?
) I'll say my POAS date is 5/28.@MrsMcD: I think I saw you ask somewhere how much an HSG cost? I just checked my insurance claims, and my doctor billed $701. Not sure how much of that I'll actually be responsible for yet.
-
@doxielove: you mean you don't have hours a day to read and respond to all of our manic cries and comments?!?!?!?
When was your HSG? Did you have an anesthesiologist involved in any way? Thanks so much for sharing this info.
And I'm soooo happy you get a new POAS date this month. I'm hoping for good things for you, lady!!
-
@Raindrop:
@MrsMcD: thanks it was from Sunday
-
@mrs. tictactoe:
-
@mrs. tictactoe:
-
@doxielove: yay for another POAS chance this month I wish you the best of luck!
-
@MrsMcD: I WISH, lol. Usually work is dead (totally when I HB...oops!) but I've been swamped lately. My HSG was last Friday. No anesthesiologist involved.
-
@mrs. tictactoe: and @Raindrop:
And you know I fully support all the early POASing you can handle. @doxielove: Obviously I needed to know about your insane CM. I mean, who else would you tell???
@MrsMcD: I gotta say, having had two, I am really confused as to why you would need an anesthesiologist involved in your HSG. Mine was just the radiologist and his assistant/nurse. They took pictures and sent them to my endo doctor (and gave me a copy -
), who called me to discuss the results (although, of course, they also gave me results as they were doing it.
-
@doxielove: Well get that BDing storm going! I have an irrational hope for pregnancies after HSGs.
-
@doxielove: Yay another POASer!
So talked to a few of my co-workers about yesterday's lunch a few ladies also got a bit sick so yeah... probably food poisoning! Darn it was kind of hoping it was morning sickness in the back of my mind. Haha. You know you are TWW brain when you WANT food poisoning to be morning sickness.
-
@septca: I don't have any idea why an anesthesiologist would be involved either! I called my doctor's office a day or two ago to ask if they knew how much the HSG would cost if my insurance denied coverage. The receptionist said to me, "Oh you don't want to pay for it. An anesthesiologist is involved. I'm trying to get it covered for you." (That's not an actual quote, but she said something like that.) Ugh...
-
Girls - can I also share here a very new concern that has me in a panic? I started taking Fertility Blend for Women. Before I bought it, I read all sorts of good things. And now that I'm on day three of taking it, I am reading horrible things about it messing up perfectly normal cycles. ugh....... FML. #firstwoldproblems
-
@MrsMcD: That's really odd. I don't see any reason an anesthesiologist would need to be involved...maybe the receptionist was confused what you were asking for?? And I AM irrationally hopeful, lol! I haven't been this hopeful since I started TTC! Needless to say, I am setting myself up for a pretty big disappointment if I don't get KU this cycle.
ETA - To me, the HSG just felt like a pap on steroids. Short, relatively simple, but just a LOT more uncomfortable. Definitely won't need to be knocked out for it!
-
I texted my husband about my "symptoms" and he fully said it's all in my head, lol
-
Spotting
-
@MrsMcD: I'm guessing the receptionist either doesn't know what a HSG is or she's confusing the type of doctor!
-
@Keppa: Is it brown?? Staying hopeful...
-
Nope. Nice and red
Even when I don't get my hopes up...it still hurts just as much amazingly.
-
@Keppa: I'm sorry.
-
@Keppa:
-
@LindsayInNY: I hope you are right!
-
@Keppa:
((hugs)) @mrs. tictactoe: We might be married to the same man. After my CP last month, my husband asked me why I would ever bother testing early.
@MrsMcD: Totally agree with @doxielove: - it's not *fun*, but I certainly wouldn't need pain meds for an HSG, and definitely not general anesthesia...
-
@Keppa: *hugs*
-
@MrsMcD: If you can Valium for the HSG, I would recommend it
I floated to my appointment! *insert fairy wand emoji here*
-
@LindsayInNY: I've used Vallium twice for two root canals. Dare I say it was the best thing ever??? (The vallium, not the root canals.)
-
I'm sorry to vent because I know I'm so lucky to have my little boy, and 8 months really isn't that long to have been trying....but I just feel so lost and so sad.
It's weird I really haven't felt like this any of the other months, but this month I'm just a wreck over this. I don't even really know what else to say about the whole thing... -
@MrsMcD: The HSG was the first/only time I've ever taken it. I had NO clue what to expect but maybe that's why I didn't find the HSG all that bad?!
-
@Keppa: Honey you are with friends. A lot of us are in the same boat with you. No need to be sorry!
We are here for you!
-
@Keppa: so sorry. Lots of hugs.
-
@doxielove: so hopeful for you sweetie! FX! Not sure if it helped in my case but I got bfp with my son a month after my HSG cycle. I've read that it can help things move along.
@mrs. tictactoe: good luck!
@MrsMcD: perhaps practice has changed since 2011 but I didn have an A at my HSG either. That's weird. I hope it's covered
@Keppa: I'm so so sorry. I'm on month 6 and I feel nuts so do not feel bad about 8 months. After so many cycles of taking very vitamin and supplement on the market, reading about everything, tweaking and weaning and mastering timing, wondering and waiting then month after month having hope even behind reluctance for it. It's maddening and sad come up empty handed. I hope that you get that BFP soon. Till then I think we can all come here to vent through it. Hugs.
-
For some reason I remembered that my temp hasn't dipped yet. So googled if I'm out. Haha yes this is what I think about. I think TWW makes me crazy. Anyways I thought it was interesting so I thought I would share.
http://infertility.about.com/od/tryingtoconceive101/qt/implantationdip.htm
----------------------------------
FertilityFriend.com did a statistical analysis of just over 100,000 BBT charts, of both pregnant and non-pregnant women. They looked for a dip in temperature of at least 0.3 F, occurring between days 5 and 12 of the luteal phase.
They found that on non-pregnancy charts that detected ovulation, 11% had an implantation dip. On the other hand, they found that on pregnancy positive charts that detected ovulation, 23% had an implantation dip.
Looking at their statistics, twice as many of the pregnancy charts showed an implantation dip. However, it's also important to note that of the pregnancy positive charts, approximately 75% did not have the dip. Plus, on charts that were not pregnancy positive, 11% did show the dip.
So while you're more likely to see a dip when you're pregnant, it is not a definitive sign of being pregnant, and not having the dip doesn't mean you're not pregnant.
-
@Raindrop: very interesting!! So glad I'm not temping anymore. That stuff makes me crazy! Not that I'm not crazy anyway
-
Thanks @raindrop: - more to obsess over now!
10DPO and not a sign of any spotting which always happens by now (even my chemical one). I'm attributing it to the Clomid though... Feel a little crampy this morning so who knows. Not even wanting to POAS. But going to a brewery today either way lol!
-
@LindsayInNY: did you test???
-
@littlek: No. Don't really want to in general but also because my parents are visiting for the weekend. Sick of being stupidly optimistic or getting my hopes up I guess? The cramping feeling makes me think AF is coming?
-
Still more nothing for me... Tested again this morning with a BFN. Now I'm starting to hope AF shows up soon so I can try for a BFP for my birthday next month!
) I'll say my POAS date is 5/28.
), who called me to discuss the results (although, of course, they also gave me results as they were doing it.
