@bhbee: Thanks lady! I still totally want to stay on the thread. I'll just have my POAS date be an "AF due date" for me. I am going to try to be more budget conscious this year and just no longer see the appeal of buying three digital HPTs each month. As for the appointment, yea... I hope I get that.
Speaking of budget, I did spend $21 on royal jelly last night. I just need to figure out what to do with it. Any one have any ideas?

@AmeliaBedilia: @MrsMcD: A girl I knew from my office building had second thoughts getting married (so of the things she said made me cringe!)... Well, they ended up with a honeymoon baby. It's frustrating and "not fair" sometimes.
-
@MrsMcD: I hear you seeing BFN sucks
-
@LindsayInNY: of course they'd have a honeymoon baby. OF COURSE. Why am I not surprised
@MrsMcD: we use it on toast and mix it into my coffee so that I don't use sugar (i'm insulin resistant anyway). I feel stupid for buying a 4 pack!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Oh I LOVE to calculate when people got pregnant. Gossip is a horrible flaw of mine. That's too bad about your relationship with your SIL. But I totally get how that happens. How long have you been married? I've been married two years. DH and I have not been trying since we've been married, but I believe that people assume we have.
-
@littlek: BFNs suck and I think they are kind of pointless.
@CupQuakeWalk: That's so funny you say toast. The first think DH said last night when I showed him the jelly was "Don't expect me to eat that with my toast!" Hahaha. I am hoping to disguise it in a smoothie.
@LindsayInNY: Its almost always the wrong people who get quick pregnancies, right??? And i'm totally being dramatic with "wrong" people. Haters gonna hate! And I'm sometimes a hater.
-
@MrsMcD: YUP. They had a fight one day and she was telling me she didn't care if they stayed married forever and she's fine being a single mom... Yikes. I find a lot of people get pregnant around the two years of marriage mark. We're at 3 1/2 years now so I wonder how many people are talking about us and when/if we'll have kids. I shouldn't care but part of me does...
-
@MrsMcD: I bought some too. DH hates it. I just have it plain.
-
@littlek: What do you mean you have it plain? Do you put it on a spoon and eat it?
-
@LindsayInNY: That's awful but seems the way that it often goes. I am trying to remember that it is far better to have a happy marriage without kids than to have the kid of someone you aren't happy with. (No offense meant to anyone, trying to stay positive.)
We have been married a little over 4 years. DH started a 3 year training program that ends in 7 weeks, so we have been living apart during the week. We started TTC in May, at the point that if I got pregnant right away, we would be able to be able to live together after baby would be born. I know some people suspected fertility problems after 3 years (no, my IUD worked fine), but I am afraid that once he moves back and we've been married 4.5 years, the questioning will get even worse. -
@MrsMcD: yes. It's kinda gross.
-
@MrsMcD: just take a teaspoonful two times a day! Helps improve egg quality. Some ppl have DH do it too.

@littlek: I'm out. AF showed yesterday. At least it was a nice quick cycle. On to cycle 10!!
-
@littlek: and @buttermilk: thanks re: royal jelly!!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: you are right that a happy marriage is so important. I can't even imagine what it's like to not have one and then throw kids into the mix. Sucks.
-
@Mrs. Chickadee: @Crystal: @sandy: @MrsMccarthy: @littlek: @Snowdrop: @AmeliaBedilia: @cmbknyc: Thank you.
@MrsMcD: How much did your sister pay? The 12K is for one cycle and basic meds. If you need other meds, it's more. We are looking at the plans that guarantee a pregnancy and that plan would cost $19K plus the cost of meds. I don't know if I would call having to pay any amount of money for a baby a 'good deal.'
-
@MrsMcD: boo AF
-
@bluestriped bee: Oh gees... you are so very right no amount of money paid would be a good deal. Sorry for my poor choice of words.
-
@MrsMcD: Stupid AF. I'm sorry.
-
@MrsMcD: If you leave, I would be so sad. You better stay!
I am out til March, and probably wont POAS again til AF is due, but I am still here.
Let me know what you think of the royal jelly.
@littlek: How are you doing?
@LindsayInNY: Are you going to keep taking the progesterone til you visit the dr this week?
@AmeliaBedilia: I feel the same way about some cousins that were married the month after us. Or pretty much everyone I know, actually.
We went to my nieces 2nd bday this weekend, and 4 times (!!!!!!) in the course of a 2 hour span my MIL asked us about having kids, and how she is so sad because she only has 2 while everyone else she knows has more.
They have no idea about our TTC journey or our MC, and I am not about to tell them, but its so hard to hear that CONSTANTLY.
-
@MrsMcD: It's okay. Thank you for apologizing. I'm sorry, too. I'm still a little upset and angry that our last IUI didn't work and I have to start the IVF cycle. I know I'm trying to think positively but it's still devastating. Plus, my freakin' RE office is pissing me off. I have to wait til April 1st to be seen by my dr. So I won't even start the process til April. I decided to switch to another dr in the same office and it's still a month and a half wait. I think they are making me wait on purpose. I called other RE clinics in the area. I think it's time to switch offices.
-
@bluestriped bee: You have to wait till April? Why? Is it because you have to go through a cycle before you can start?
-
@bluestriped bee: I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I can definitely understand your frustrations. And mixing in a month and a half wait when you are ready to start things now is so tough. I wan't to see my doctor and ask "why haven't I gotten pregnant in the last 10 months" but I, too, have to wait. My insurance requires I try for 12 months before I see a doctor.

@littlek: My RE is on leave and won't be back til end of March. She might be on mat leave. I couldn't catch if it was mat leave or another type of leave. They won't let me see another dr. I'm done with my current dr and nurse. I haven't been that happy with them. I'm moving to another dr or another office.
-
@MrsMcD: I put a spoonful in my mouth and then take the teensiest sip of water. Swish it all around a bit to thin it out before I swallow. I think it helps it go down better.
-
@MrsMcD: Yeah, I remember being frustrated, well, I still am. Especially when my dr said they didn't see any reason why I couldn't get pregnant. 6 IUI cycles later and still no BFP. I saw an RE at 6 months and I'm paying out of pocket for our IF treatment so, luckily, I don't have to wait for insurance.
-
@buttermilk: Do they make it in pill form too? I thought they did...
@bluestriped bee: Hugs, friend. I would be so frustrated having to wait, I think drs can forget how long this journey feels to those in the midst of it.
Are you switching to a new practice, or just a new dr?
-
@Crystal: Right now, I have appointments for both a new dr at the current office on April 3rd and an appt at a new clinic on March 20th. I'm going to call both offices to see if I can be seen earlier if someone cancels.
-
@bluestriped bee: I feel like the fact that a new office can get you in sooner than your current office is telling... I don't like how your current office/doctor is handling things and I would definitely be looking somewhere else. There's no reason you should have to wait until April!
@Crystal: I haven't decided yet... I bought a FRER so I think I might test in the morning again?
-
This is not going to be my month - hubs is in one of his moods (Hello, Manstruation.) so I'll just wait for my next round of appointments when I hear from my dr.
-
@LindsayInNY: Thanks. One of my IF friends said the same thing. That's a good way of thinking about it.
-
@babycanuck: I hate manstration.
@bluestriped bee: I agree with @LindsayInNY. Its one thing if you are waiting for a medial reason, but another entirely if they are making you wait due to scheduling. You should be a priority as a long standing patient.
@LindsayInNY: I can't wait to hear the results from tomorrow!
-
@babycanuck: Ugh, that's the worst. DH and I had it out this weekend... =/
-
@LindsayInNY: Yeah, I swear he always get this this right around the days I O screwing it all up.
-
@babycanuck: Its almost like they know...
I hate it when I am Oing and we BD anyways. I do *not* want to reward him for bad behavior.
-
@babycanuck: oh it is awful when that happens and no matter how much I want a baby, I just couldn't do it under those circumstances.
I came off FB about a month r so ago due to constant announcements. Was feeling quite good because of the appointment coming up so ?I logged back on.... 2 announcements on the first page!! You seriously couldn't even make it up!
-
@Snowdrop: That is the absolute worst.
I seriously live in fear when we visit our families for the holidays that someone will announce a pregnancy.
I mean, I would be so happy for them, but I would probably lose it.
-
FB strikes again. You know how I posted yesterday about someone who got pregnant on her honeymoon? Today I found out she's expecting twins. (While I would prefer not to have twins, this makes me feel very infertile.)
