@owlteach: Sounds like a perfect mini vacation!
@littlek: What great news!!!! Are you having anything else tested or doing any next steps?
-
@Crystal: DH is getting SA and I have a few more CD3 tests
-
@Crystal: DH was working with a doctor who thinks almost everyone has it. I don't think it is THAT common, but it seems to have helped me with other things, now hoping it helps with a BFP.
-
So, I put this in another thread. Per discussion with RE billing, IUI and TI is not covered. So, our plan (based on initial consultation with RE) is try clomid, if that doesn't work move to IUI.
-
@littlek: How are you feeling?
@AmeliaBedilia: Hmmm. I'll have to look into it- I don't know if I have a deficiency, but I'll pretty much do anything to get a BFP at this point.
-
@Crystal: I'm fine. HSG was easy and quick.
-
@littlek: Hopefully this will help get you some answers.
Remind me- Did you need help conceiving your LO?
-
@Crystal: nope. He was an accident. I'm one of those people we hate.
-
@littlek: wahoo for clear tubes
Hopefully this puts you on the road to finding some more answers. Sometimes I sort of wish that a test would come back with a problem so that we would know what we needed to fix, if that makes any sense? I think the "I don't knows" make it all a LOT harder.
-
@littlek: LOL! Fertility is bizarre. Glad the HSG went fine.
Quick vent: I love getting a good deal, but why does living social have to have a prenatal massage 7 minutes from my house for $20?
-
@littlek: lol!
@AmeliaBedilia: I hate that! I always find deals on things I can't use: prenatal massage, shoes that are too small, etc.
-
@Crystal: It turns out you buy "swedish or prenatal," though expires in June. I bought it, figuring I will use the swedish one, and if I get my BFP really quickly, then I have the option. The massage therapist also does fertility massages, but those are $100 and not included. I wonder how they are different.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: just FYI.. They don't like doing prenatal massages until you are out of your first trimester.
-
@littlek: any chance if you now whether normal massages are ok during that time? What is the difference between an normal massage and a prenatal one?
-
@owlteach: normally when I get a massage they will ask if I'm pregnant or not. My guess is if you are they will avoid certain areas. I only got massages once I was past the first trimester.
-
I hate testing on weekdays. I want to throw myself a pity party now and can't because I have to go to work. Really feeling crappy this morning (emotionally more than physically).
-
@LindsayInNY: I'm so sorry
maybe work will be a good distraction but I hope you get a little time today for yourself too.
-
@LindsayInNY: I'm sorry sweetie.
-
@LindsayInNY:
I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself and maybe treat yourself to your favorite lunch, meet a friend for happy hour and/or order your favorite take-out for dinner tonight. I wish I could buy you a drink
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Either way, sounds like a good pampering deal!
@LindsayInNY: I am so so sorry, friend.
-
Just curious... do you think it would be nice to have a TTC board that was for "6 months plus".... just thinking aloud... I only say this because I hide boards that might "upset me"
-
@littlek: I'm all for "6 months plus" for any boards. But I think that there are two recent "TTC 6 months plus" boards, plus one "January POAS 6 months plus board." Am I wrong? Or just confused?
-
@MrsMcD: oh those are threads.. I was talking about boards...
-
@littlek: Well shoot.. I'm so lame I don't even know the difference between a thread and a board. I just feel kind of funny posting the same info/questions on three different boards which all seem to be the same. But seriously... 6 months plus anything is a go in my book. I'm not quite to the point of fertility treatments, but i don't feel (or even any longer appreciate) (sorry such a hater) the exuberance of the newbies.
-
I just wanted to chime in that I think there are too many 6+ threads going on right now. I'm so confused which one I'm supposed to post on. POAS? The gold one? This one? TTC #1 6+? GAH! lol.
-
@doxielove: Phew! Glad I'm not the only one. But I am so grateful to have these threads. More is better than not enough!
-
@doxielove: there are... I thought there was going to be 2.. A POAS thread and general...
I'm for just a general thread.. I can't really muster excitement for the POAS thread anymore
-
@littlek: Just curious, do you feel like you belong in the 6 month+ plus board but not quite belong in infertility boards. That's my only concern. I've been TTC for quite sometime so I make most of my posts in the IF boards but I'm seeing more and more people post the 6 month plus threads under TTC and not IF.
So that's why I feel like 6 month plus boards are for pre-infertility TTCers, while people usually TTC for 12 month plus are usually more okay with posting in the IF boards. Maybe I could ask this question in a separate thread. I would be curious to see what you 6 month plus TTCers think of yourselves.
For me, I saw an RE at 6 months so I was already somewhat identifying with IFers at 6 months but I understand that some take longer with accepting that they have IF.
-
@bluestriped bee: I think between 6 months and a year is a no mans land. You aren't "new" but you may not be seeing a RE yet.
-
@littlek: Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks.
-
@bluestriped bee: I feel like I know there is something wrong and the regular TTC boards have started to hurt somewhat BUT. Unless I have specific questions I woudn't post on IF because I wouldn't like it if someone came and looked for support here after only trying two months (even though they are totally entitled to support o. The regular threads, TTC is hard even after month 1).
-
@bluestriped bee: I started joining causally on the IF threads after our one year mark TTC. I hadn't yet seen a specialist but even then there were times where it was hard to relate to even 6+ month-ers.
-
@bluestriped bee: I went to see a RE after TTC for 6 months too. Since I'm 35, time is not on my side as my OB/Gyn likes to remind me.
-
@MrsMcD: I feel the exact same way.
@littlek: I agree, I think 6-9 months is no mans land.
@doxielove: I started the TTC for #1 6 Months + thread because I saw a lot of 2 or More threads pop up. I also created it because struggling to conceive is difficult at any time, but I am at that point where I am a little jealous of those who do have at least one baby, and felt maybe it would be a nice place to commiserate with others who felt like I do. I am all for starting a topic to better address any of these issues or make people feel more comfortable, though.
Maybe I will start using STC (struggling to conceive) instead of TTC because that better captures my journey.
-
@Crystal: I understand, not exactly what you are going through but I have my own issue. We are blessed to have one child but I'm starting to see people that were pregnant after me now conceiving or giving birth to LO #2 and it brings out the green eyed monster.
-
@Crystal: I, too, feel a twinge of jealousy over TTCers who already have one child. But I understand that the struggle to conceive at any point in anyone's life is tough. I also like to gain valuable input from all TTCers, regardless of the number of kids they have, or lack thereof.
@bluestriped bee: I kind of feel like the the infertility boards (threads?) are for girls who are getting treatment or who have been deemed infertile. I've been TTC for 10 months now. But if I don't see a doctor, or seek any treatment, I'm not sure if I would move myself to the infertility boards out of sensitivity to the girls on that board. I don't know if that sounds right or what, but those are my thoughts right now.
-
@littlek: I hesitated to write what I did, because I hope everyone knows how much I can appreciate the difficulty of struggling to conceive, regardless of how many kids they have.
It must be so hard to know your body is capable of being pregnant, but not knowing why it isn't. I really, truly hope you get your BFP soon, and I can't wait to celebrate with you when you do!
@MrsMcD: I completely agree that it is valuable to have all perspectives. I know my small twinges of jealousy aren't coming from a rational place, but how many feelings do? lol
-
@Crystal: I totally understand why you started that thread and I share those same sentiments. Sorry, my original post sounds a little rude, I in no way am bashing anyone who starts a separate thread!!
@MrsMcD: Ditto to this: "I kind of feel like the the infertility boards (threads?) are for girls who are getting treatment or who have been deemed infertile" <<<this is why I often hesitate posting to the IF boards. I am @ 14 months so technically I am struggling with IF, but I'm not actively getting fertility treatments/have an "OFFICIAL" IF diagnosis so I feel like I'm intruding if/when I post!
Howabout we all just get our BFP's already...problem solved!!!!!
-
@doxielove: Cheers to that!!!!! BFPs for all!!!!!!!!
-
@doxielove: I didn't take you as rude, no worries. I hope I didn't come off as rude either. Since the same people tend to post to all of these threads, its like one giant conversation, and I get confused trying to respond to them all.
I love your problem solving technique! Lets do it!
@bluestriped bee: I think of myself as having difficulty, but not quite at the IF stage. I, too, wouldn't want to be insensitive or intrude on the women who have been diagnosed with IF by posting there.
Do you think the IF board is for people that are struggling as well as those diagnosed /seeking treatment for IF?
Hopefully this puts you on the road to finding some more answers. Sometimes I sort of wish that a test would come back with a problem so that we would know what we needed to fix, if that makes any sense? I think the "I don't knows" make it all a LOT harder.
