                      To all the ladies riding the train.

[PrincessJam]

Thanks Bridgette :) I am not quite in the TWW yet.... I have to get an HSG tomorrow morning, and then if we are all clear then hopefully I'll have the IUI on Friday or Saturday so then I will be in the TWW for sure!! Let's add some BFPS to this list and move us to the other side!!

[smr08]

northern- sending you prayers and baby dust

Tausha- looking forward to you hopping back on this crazy train!!

Jamie- fingers crossed for youXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

SSBD to all of us!!!!!

[anxiouslywaiting910]

Lori, How about just going crazy..does that count?

I swear since I put up my little vent on here about wanting to cry at the bbq...people are coming out of the wood works on FB asking when I am going to have a baby all because my friend tagged a picture of me at the bbq feeding the baby. I wish everyone could just know my situation, without having to go through the whole spill with everyone.  This is the one time I wish everyone would just talk to each other about me, preferably behind my back. lol Goooddnnneess!!!!  I really need the bcp's out of my system I swear they have me extra, emotional and moody....and my boobies still hurt and that is ticking me off too. To laugh or cry that is the question? lol Oh how I can't wait to be rid of all the fake hormones.

[smr08]

Tausha, nope! In some way we're all crazy!!LOL My answer to your question is laugh, it is the best medicine right???

[12121980]

Lori-- 10 more days to go.... sending baby dust to u!!

joy

[Uptowngril]

Sorry to keep you all in suspense. I'll only test on Friday or Saturday, was just telling someone now about why I didn't test. Your tests overseas are so much advanced, ours wouldnt even show a faint line, so decided to rather wait till dpo14/dpo15, thats if the AF witch doesn't arrive. which I think she will, as I got no signs except tender boobs.argh! looks like this month I'm out again, but still waiting for af.
ssbd to all

[MissmyAngel]

Ha ha you didn't get rid of me that easily!

I'm back to visit and sprinle some SSBD on everyone!

Have a good day ladies.

[PrincessJam]

My HSG test is done... and my tubes are CLEAR! The fluid was flowing through them fine and flowing out, it didn't hurt a bit!!  The only thing the doctor noticed was that my uterus was a different shape... not an abnormality, but that it was thinner on one side than the other.  Has anyone experienced this? He didn't say to be worried or anything and that everything should be fine.  So, I go in on Friday for my follicle check and hope those follies are ready to go!!

[Gailybaby]

dropping off some baby dust girls!   ************************************************************************************************


im cd??? no clue been a hectic two days start to this week trainging all day! but its been googd to be awsay form a little bit of medhelp! sorry but not you ladies!

[smr08]

Morning Girls! CD21 so not much longer to go. My 19yr anniversary is 3/15 wouldn't that be an awesome surprise????

Joy- Thanks! Right back at ya! Sometimes I have no clue when I O, makes TTC a little difficult!

uptown- like we say around here, "it ain't over till the witch shows"!!!!! Fingers crossed for youXXXXXXXX

Theresa- LOL!!! You just keep popping in and dropping off that SSBD!

Jamie- what great news!!!!!!!

Gail- I know sometimes it could be overwhelming but just hang in there, things can only get better.

[1angelbabyM]

Just stopping be to spread some SSBD!!  

Uptown - good luck!  Don't give up hope just yet...it could still happen!

PrincessJam - I'm so glad everything was clear!!  If your Doctor wasn't too concerned with the shape, then neither should you...it sounds like everything is great!!  Good luck with your follie check on Friday!!  

Gail - I know what you mean, I try not to log in on the weekends hoping to take my mind off everything with the endless errands, cleaning, etc. that happen on the weekends.  

As for me, I go in tomorrow for some lab work to see what my progesterone level is after I ovulate to see if I need a supplement from O to AF or through my first trimester if we get that BFP ;0).  They are also doing a full CBC, Thyroid cascade, Lipid Profile, Comprehensive metabolic panel, and a MTHFR test.  It would also be a plus if they notice a HCG reading in there indicating a BFP for this month, but I think it would be way too early and a lot of wishful thinking on that!!  

[anxiouslywaiting910]

What happened to make them check your progesterone?  I want them to check mine since I have had 2 losses. But they said they will not do any tests unless I have 3 losses.

[PrincessJam]

I haven't had any bloodwork done to check my levels... but I think that will be my next step if it doesn't work out for us this month. I am however on estrogen to promote healthy growth of my uterine lining, so hopefully that is helping again this month.

[northernsunshine]

anxiouslywaiting910-  that is crazy!...I don't understand why they would want to see if you have another lose before checking your progesterone...that is terrible....I haven't even had one pregnancy (we've been trying for over a year ) and one of the blood test ordered about 6 months into trying was a cycle day 22 progesterone blood test I had a day 3 FSH, thyroid and all that nice blood work stuff and a transvaginal ultrasound  before starting any other proceedures.  My next step will be my HSG on Thursday....hoping for good news.

PrincessJam- keep me posted ok....hope to hear that you get your BFP right after that HSG....it will give me hope.

[anxiouslywaiting910]

Northern- Tell me about it...I think it is crazy also!!!  But they say that it could still just be bad luck and boy do I pray that is the case..but it is hard to try again with out any answers.  I feel like trying again without knowing what caused the first 2 is just asking for heartbreak.  But I had to stop taking the bcp's they were making me super moody, emotional, and my bbs still hurt and I have been off of them for almost 2 weeks, so I guess whatever happens, happens.

Hi ladies- just stopping in to say hi and drop off some baby dust!!!  

Northern-good luck with the hsg.
Princessjam- I hope your follies look good and your ready for iui
Lori-your getting close. I hope your 'break' work wonders.

[bam1014]

That's great news Jamie!  Good luck on your follie check!!

Theresa - keep that baby dust coming :)

Uptown - Like Lori said, it ain't over until AF shows her ugly head!

Northern - good luck on Thursday.  Just remember to relax!

Tausha - I think that's just awful that they won't even do a blood test for you!  Like Northern said b/w is always the first step and the 7DPO/CD21 test is common.  It's most often used to make sure that you are O'ing or not.  Is there a possiblity that you could find a different doctor?  Some OB/GYN's speacilize in infertility (which includes m/c) without you having to see an RE.  But I think an RE would also be an option for you . . .

[lori0615]

Hi there ladies, I'm sure I'm going to ovulated today, tomorrow or the next, I have been feeling pains on the right side near the ovary. We have been bding every other day and hope this works. we changed the bedding to right after my hubby wakes up at 11am. So that is a change. Use to do it at night but heard the mornings are better, 11am is the earliest I can knock him out of bed( Smile )

I'm trying not to think about trying and that is not working. I hate that TTC has made the sex life so bad around that time of month every month. But I just hope I get pregnant soon so that tension will lift.

[Gailybaby]

So sorry I didnt update you on the cd day I was a bit out of it been off medhelp for two three days!

Hope you are good and good luck TTC!

baby dust to allt he laides on this train this week!

[1angelbabyM]

Tausha - I scheduled a meeting with my doctor at what would have been 13 months of trying and even though they only counted me at 5 months of trying since we were pregnant at 1 point during the last 12 months.  I told him that I needed to do something and I couldn't just keep trying if there might be an issue somewhere since DH was okay.  We decided on a game plan and since blood work is the easiest to start with, we decided to go that route.  I had low progesterone with my pregnancy that I lost, so he wants to see if I have low progesterone when I'm not pregnant.  This will let him know if I need to be on the supplement while trying.  He said the best time to run these tests are at about 7 or 8 DPO when it has risen enough to register in the blood.  On the other hand, the low progesterone I had with my pregnancy could have been that my body knew something wasn't right.  He wants to see which one it is.  Remember Tausha, your doctor works for you and you are a contributing factor in his/her paychecks!!!  Be firm and let them know that you want something to be happening and not nothing at all.  They probably won’t skip right to IVF or IUI or even doing and HSG right away; however, they will usually do something to get the ball rolling.  They don't want to lose you as a patient.  Call your doctor and let tem know how passionate you are about this, it won't hurt!!  Good luck and I hope they do it for you!  I mean it would be money in their pocket if they do, so I don't see why they wouldn't!  Good luck!!

Sending SSBD to everyone!!

[hudsy]

Hey everyone! Long time no talk!!! I see more people have joined and more people have left!!  Well Bridgette you can officially put me on the "waiting" list up top!! Hubby and I are officially onto condoms this month. We plan on waiting until our June vacation and then start trying sometime after that. We swapped our Alaskan Cruise for the bahamas!! So now I at least have something else to focus on and look forward to a bikini bod and cocktails! A good friend of mine and her hubby are going the same week as us and we're both celebrating our 1 yr anniversary! I'm doing 100 times better since we started using condoms....I was feeling bitter and so negative before and something now has given me peace and hubby and I are enjoying our time together!! I'll be on throughout my break and I hope none of you ladies are left by the time I'm back full force on the train!! In a nice way of course! Good luck on your journey this month!!

Tausha- they told me the same thing that they don't run tests until after 3 MCs!!! That's so ridiculous!

Angelbaby- That's great your getting all those tests done that way if something is wrong you can make the necessary changes.

[Princessa745]

Good morning ladies, passing by to sprinkle some baby dust!!

Tausha so sorry, that is terrible, to them its just a number they don't realize our heartache over a loss. But i truly hope their won't be a third loss!!

As for the BBQ and the pic, that is soo hard, but look at the positive, that just shows how everyone thinks you will be a great mom!!!!

Lori oh boy getting close ,got everything crossed.
NOrthern good luck with the test tomorrow.

Jaimie - good luck hun!!

SSBD to all of you!! *******************************************************************************
