I am new comer to this post and reading and searching looking into IVF soon after trying for the last 8 month to get PG? Why IVF? OB recommendation. Thought  to ask if any some of you had this experience. I just had a mock transfer and ever since then I am spotting, is this normal. So I am curious if everyone has the same experience.

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you all for your support!  Last month we bd'd and did the IUI with BFN so I am not holding my breath this time.  But some chance is better than zero chance.  I am glad we managed to bd in LA when I got my positive OPK before hotel threw us out at 11 am  :)
Finally, our NY/CA trip is over and I am back in TX.  New semester will keep me busy since I have been obsessing a bit too much lately about ttc.  

Earlier today we were in San Diego and went to the zoo before leaving for TX.  It was pretty amazing.  Anyways, San Diego zoo is famous for giant pandas.  Apparently, these pandas are fertile only 1-2 days per year and their offsprings are so small when born that most do not survive beyond 4 days.  So, if evolution did not eliminate these guys, there is hope for all of us!

Hi Ladies!!!  It's been forever it feels like!  I was able to log on to this post earlier today and spent some time responding to each of you, but then when I tried to send it, the forum locked me out!!  Urg.  So, I'm not going to  make this post too long in case it does that again.

Helen - I 'm so sorry you missesd your IUI!!  I know you really wanted it this month.  Lets keep everything crossed that the bding did the trick!
Lexima - You are o'ing already?  Wow that is early! Guess you'll be getting busy and we may not hear from you for a day or so.  (-:

Empty & ms320 - Yes the HSG does increase the chances of BFP!!  When I went to get my prescription filled for antiobiotics today the pharmacy tech. told me her daughter and her daughter's best friend both had HSG's last month and both got pregnant this month!  So, I'm excited.

Vin - I'm so sorry about your BFN!  Lot's of baby dust your way!!

Update on Heathjo -  I don't think she'd mind me updating you.  She sent me a pm and she's not feeling well due to the metfor.  It's been giving her migrains and making her feel sick.  So, she's been resting and not no her computer.  

I'm thinking about starting a new post because this one  has been giving me so many troubles logging in.  Anybody have an aversion to running a new dialogue?

So much for a short post.  Geesh, I can be chatty!

So, did another OPK today and got a negative.  I guess I already O'd since it was positive yesterday.  So,  no IUI this month  :(
I can't believe this happened to me!  I just needed extra 24 hours.  I guess I O'd two days earlier than normal with very little cm and no O pains which is REALLY strange.  Oh well, at least we managed to bd on the day of the surge.  Next cycle will be my last IUI with clomid.  Then, on to IVF...

I also hear the same thing about the dye "cleaning the dust" from your tubes.  It actually worked for me last year.  Had HSG done at end of Feb, and became pregnant at end of March.  

Good luck with your tests

When I had HSG technitian told me that the test makes you more fertile for a few months since the dye sort of cleans your tubes.

Glad you are doing the tests!
Good luck!

Hi Guys

So i had  my appt today with a gynae/obstetrician and they have ordered a battery of tests. I had my blood drawn and have already had a call to say it was a BFN on the pregnancy front - which i knew anyway. So i still have all the progestone, hyperthyroidsm and all to go. So now i have to wait for the evil witch and then i get the HSG test done and a Xray on the 24th Jan. With any luck next month this time i should have another appointment telling me what the issues could be. They have also ordered tests on DH. I feel like such a virgin on these things! I had my hair done as well and feel totally psyched now that things are getting done.

On my form i noticed that with the HSG test they said that they have had an patients reporting an increase in fertility after the test. Have any of you heard this?

Thanks for letting me ramble!

Vingulf,
I am so sorry :((((
Please do not give up hope and try again.

Mary,
so sorry about AF.  I hope IVF works for all of us trying here eventually!!

Lisa,
have I missed your update this month?  How are you tests going with your new RE?  How's the road head looking like?

As for me, looks like I am O'g early.  Today is cd11 and I got this morning a positive (same colour lines) OPK.  I will be in Austin in a day but that may be too late for IUI.  Not sure what to do yet since when I surge early I may not O till cd13 anyways. I guess I'll test tomorrow am and see what's going on.
Decisions, decisions....

Well, you have probably seen my post by now about my BFN :-(

It's such a sad and depressing day for me BUT having you guys cheering me on and being so supportive makes it easier to deal with the BFN...

Wednesday, I will be asking my RE a lot of questions. And yes, hubby is up for a second try...

ms320: that is such a great cause! my hubby's niece did that she had the most gorgeous hair! our company did volunteer work last week with them helping out with production. I was assigned to a different charity so I didnt get to see how the entire thing is done.

Empty: Lexima is right. There are certain tests that they do between CD1-CD3. And yes, it is very uncomfortable...but they had to do it.

So had my beta b/w done early this morning. Just waiting for the doc's office to call with reults. This wait is killing me!!!!!! I have no pg symptoms whatsoever so I'm a bit scared. Didn't even experience any spotting AT ALL (I was told some spotting is expected when the embies implant themselves - does this mean they didnt implant?). I know, I worry too much but I can't help it...sorry...I already had a talk with hubby last night. I asked if that if this cycle didnt work, should we go for a second? And he said absolutely and then followed it with "but why wouldn't it work???" He thought that once the embies were transferred, it's like a done deal! I had to explain that they have to hatch then implant...and all these emotions going thru! I'm excited and nervous and anxious and happy and sad ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

By the way, I am 12 DPT..

Mary - that's a beatiful thing you're trying to do.

Empty - don't be so sure that they won't do internal exams during AF.  When I had my firt RE apt I thought we'll just talk and she'll give a plan to follow.  I was actually on my CD2 which is when they start monitoring.  So they did my b/w, and also u/s and general exam.  I felt so akward, never before have I gone to a obgyn appt during AF.  Now it's normal, bec they start monitoring me with CD2, but I still feel uncomfortable about it.  Good Luck

hi guys ...i went to see the GP today and have gotten a referral now. I have an appt with the hospital tomorrow - so that  will be my first fertility assessment i guess. wish me luck! I still havent got A/F so am now 5 days late. It will be good to get some answers though and make some moves in the right direction. Knowing my luck, A/F will arrive tomorrow and i wont be able to do an internal exams ...hee hee.

LJ - glad the hair situation is resolved. Are you on holidays at the moment?

ms320 - thats a great cause...good on you. I am not sure we have this in Australia but i am going to look into it. We have one where we raise money if you shave your head! Not sure i would make a good sinead :)

Mary, I'm glad my hair helped you out of the ttc haze.  That is one of the reasons I decided to post it.  I thought, well golly we are all friends here.  We talk about the most  intimate details of our lives and we are ALL consumed with ttc!!  So why not broaden that perspective and give other parts of our lives a little attention.  I'm happy it gave you a momentary lift from 2ww, cd's, bding, & ttc!

Great idea about the "locks of love" giving hair away.   I have a couple of neices that do that every couple of years.  My hair doesn't grow fast enough, or long enough I think.  I too have been trying to grow it out.  If I'm successful maybe I'll consider that donation also.   Good for you for taking that postive step.  Way to go!

Oh I also changed my nickname to "babyalive".  There is another LJ on here, and I wanted a name that brought to life my dream.

All I can say is thank you for sharing the saga of your hair.  While I'm sure it was not fun for you, it brought me back to the reality that there is more to life than fertility issues.  I get so caught up in the whole TTC thing, that other parts of life just pass right by.  I, for one, really needed that reminder.  I am going to take the cue and spend some time focusing on other aspects of my life.  I have been growing my hair for almost two years now.  My original intention was to grow it long enough to donate.  Then, I started TTC.  My life got chopped up into cycles and 2WWs, and I never got around to donating my hair as planned.  I am going to call for an appointment tomorrow and put my mane to good use.  If I can't be amother to a child, at least I can make a child with cancer feel better by having a full head of hair.

Thanks again.

Mary

I'm sure you are just chomping at the bit to know about my latest hair update.  I don't want to keep you waiting another minute!  I found a product at Walgreens called "Oops."  and it is supposed to wash out a previous "oops" hair color if done within 24 hrs of the color.  I used that today.  It did wash out a lot of the red, it also lightened my hair quite a bit and there is a bit of red/orange left.  It's a color I can live with and be seen at work with for the next week anyhow.  I'll add an ash tone next weekend I think.  That should take all the red out.

Can't afford the salon this month because every dime I make is used up for living and ttc expenses.  No extra funds for a hair job.  )-:

Good luck I hope that a line darkens up soon!
