[mommyin10]

Good morning :)  Well, I'm 18dpo, another bfn & No AF !  Hmmm...  I'm planning to call my doctor today so I can go in for a blood test.  I'm thinking I should stop the progesterone if I'm not preggers.

Candie:  How are you feeling?  Will you test or just wait it out?  I sure hope that WAS implantation & you get that BFP !!!

Stacey:  How are you, my friend?  Thanks for your notes :)  I hope you had a great weekend !

Luvkayln:  Still patiently waiting for your return ;-)  I hope you're doing well !  I miss you !!!

Arlotheslug:  Absolutely, we hope you ARE doubly blessed!  That would be wonderful.  You could have a baby by Christmas & be pregnant by Christmas !!!  I can't believe you'll be starting your meds next weekend!  Time really does fly.  Good luck to you ! :)

[Jessie12]

DH made me take another test before he left for work so he could see it.  it was BFP!  I think the test line showed before the control line had a chance.  Im going to call my dr office as soon as they open so I can get in and get it confirmed.  I will keep yall updated!

Should I still be tracking my temps?  I did it this morning but I dont think it was accurate bc Olivia decided it was time to get up at 2 and then I really didnt go back to sleep bc I kept coughing and my nose was running. I wonder what I can take for it.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!

[GUESITO]

I feel soooo much better. Just to let you guys know.. My U/S is scheduled for tomorrow @ 8:45am Eatern Time.... We shall se how close I am for retrieval. Hoping for lots of Eggs. Thanks again for your support! Talk to you soon.

[mommyin10]

Michelle:  I'm so sorry for you & dh! :(  I can't even find the right words.  I'm sure you're devastated & I'm just so, so sorry.

luvkayln:  Let us know how your u/s goes.  I'll be hoping for lots of big follies!

Jessie:  That's great news, congrats!!! :-)

[luvkayln]

Michelle- I'm so sorry about your loss! I know what you're going through. I had a d & C with my first pregnancy, any my baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. I'm so sorry! I know how heartbreaking it is to try for so long, only to have it taken away from you. With my first, I was 8 weeks when i found out, but i lost the baby exactly 2 weeks later. It was horrible! And then I got pregnant a year later, only to lose my daughter at 36 weeks this past december! That's great news you'll be able to try so soon, but please take time to mentally and physically heal. I hate that my daughter will be 1 year in less than 2 months, and i'm still not pregnant! Just have faith, it'll happen for us. I'll be thinking about you sweetie! (( Hugs)).

Jessie- Congrats on your +ve! I know you are just thrilled! Let us know when your appointment is! :)

Candie & Stacey- STILL no af!!! Woo-hoo! I really hope this is it for you two!!!! Keep us posted, i'm really pulling for 2 BFP's with your names' written all over them! :)

Rachjus- I just wanted to let you know that you don't always alternate. I asked my RE the same thing, it just depends which side wins the "race." :)

Mommyin09- Glad to hear your appointment went well, even with that silly follie left over! I'm glad iui is in store for you this cycle! I bet you are sooo excited, especially with your hsg just before your O! I hope it "cleans" up your tubes, and this next cycle will be a successful one!!!!!! :)

To all: I'll let you know how many follies I have on Tuesday. I'm praying for many mature follies!

[leighanne143]

michelleinhawaii- i am so sorry.  there are no words to express how sorry i am.  your story sounds so simolar to mine.  i did have 2 d and c's done so if you have any questions if you do opt for it, please ask.  Again hang in there and keep your head up.  you know now you can get pregnant and sometimes all it akes is for your body to do it once and it will do it again quickly.

Jessie- congrats.  those digital tests are just aswome and seeing that word is heart dropping.  call your doctor and have it confirmed:)

[Jessie12]

Hello everyone!  I am back from my trip.  It was nice to get away for the weekend but I missed my babies and DH terribly.  

I got the clear blue digital tests and took one at work on friday before we left and it was negative.  But I did take the other one and a first responce Saturday morning and they were both positive! I think my heart dropped when I read the word "pregnant."  I was so excited but had to keep my mouth shut all weekend.  I sent DH a message to tell him but that was all I could do.  Im trying not to get my hopes up yet.  Im calling my dr first thing in the morning to see when I can get in and Im going to take another test in the morning so DH can see it.

When DH picked me up he told me he did see the 2nd line on the test I took Friday morning but he didnt want me to get my hopes up so he said no.  Im really nervous and dont know what to do with myself.  I think I have a cold too... no fun there.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

[Michelleinhawaii]

I lost the baby...it stopped growing somewhere after 7 weeks.  I had to go for a horrible high tech ultrasound to see what happened.  The ultrasound was over an hour.  I have to go back tomorrow and see if I have to have a D&C, hopefully I don't.  The dr. said we can start tryng again next cycle since my body is still very fertile and used to being pregnant.  I'm very sad...it took 2 years to get pregnant only to have it end 4 weeks later :-(

[mommyin10]

Rachjas:  I think the idea is that your ovaries generally rotate, but it's not a definite.  Arlotheslug is right, though.  You're responding to the clomid, so if this cycle doesn't work out, 100mg very well could :)  As far as the opk's, yes, I do use them.  I know it can get expensive, but my doc wants me coming in the day after I get a +, plus I just can't not know! :)

Arlotheslug:  Sorry about the party.  Isolating is the perfect word! :( Maybe you'll be joining in when the Christmas party rolls around ;-)

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
A quick note before I go out for the day.

Candie and Stacey:  Wow .  . . could it be?

Rachjas:  I am sorry about your news.  Well, at least you know you have a reaction - which is good and half the battle!

Naf:  I hope your appt goes well tomorrow.  I don't know about Premerin.  Have you tried Provera?

Guesito:  I am glad things got cleared up.  I know it is very emotional for me when I am on all the IVF drugs. . . . TTC is an emotional thing . . . boys show it differently.

Mommyin09:  Wow, I am glad everything went well.  That is odd the leftover . . . . hmmm  Someone actually did get the costume!

Keyan:  You are 100% correct.  I think sometimes boys react differently too . . . they love us, but are wired a bit differently! ;-)  It was an ok weekend.  The party last night had a lot of moms who only talked about day care - something I have nothing to add - it can be a bit isolating, esp. when you are feeling down which I was . . . ah well.  We left early.  Ladies night was a lot of fun! I figure that is my last night for wine since I will be starting the drugs soon!

Candie:  It is good to know I am not alone on this Haloween thing.  Our friends always have really creative costumes . .. . I wore a black boa.  

[Joyce49788]

bump

[rachjas0623]

mommyin09- ohh yea, she didn't say.. but compared to the other side they had to be around 8-10

[rachjas0623]

mommyin09 - Does it always alternate, which side you O from?

[mommyin10]

I'm back from my u/s.  Everything's fine. I saw my doc's partner & he said I have one 10mm follie left over from last cycle, but that it's okay to start clomid.  (I've never had that happen before)  I got my prescription for 100mg & will start taking them tomorrow.   HSG is Wed. & then we have a follow-up consultation with my doc on Friday to go over "options", although we're set to do iui unless he feels differently.  I have another u/s scheduled for 11/4 to check my follies, but will go in earlier if I get a +opk.  That's my gameplan :)

rachjas:  I'm sorry your follies aren't cooperating! :(  I know it s u c k s, but hang in there!!!  If it doesn't happen this cycle, at least you're well on your way to finding the right solution.  Maybe the 100mg will do the trick!  Is this your first cycle on clomid?  I started on 50 & now I'm on 100.  (Starting them again tomorrow)  Did your doc tell you what size the follies are on your right?  I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you, but if it doesn't happen, don't lose hope.  Next month will be your right side's turn & with 100mg, it could be a really good month! :-)

Naf:  Gosh, what a pain in the butt (your long cycle & your doc telling you to call when he's not gonna be there!)  Ugh!  What are you taking the premarin for?  I'm not familiar with it, but perhaps you're right & that is delaying AF?!  It's good you have an appt on Monday.  At least then you'll get some answers & a game plan.

[rachjas0623]

I am back from  my U/S.  Bad news... on my bad side. I had one follie that was 17.6 but we think that may be a cyst left over from last cycle.  I also had one around 12 and then maybe one or two even smaller on that side.  On my good side, I had about 5 or 6 small follies.  It seems as though I am going to O out of my bad side the cycle.  She said the 50mg didn't over stimulate.. so if I do not get pregnant this month (which is highly unlikely) I will go up to 100mg.  Just great... it don't seem like I have that many follies, nor are they big... plus the ones that are bigger in size are on the wrong side.  I will continue to use the monitor this month and temp.  I doubt I use OPK.  They can be expensice! What do you all think? If Af arrives, I have to go in for a basline U/S on CD 1-3, 100 mg Clomid, CD 12 U/S.

[naf38]

hi all sorry I've been MIA but I decided call call my gyno on thurs but he had the day off and also on fri so I was pretty pissed off cause he said to call. Why do doctors do that. Well anyway I've got an app on Monday at 930am so I'll see what he has to say AF is still not here I did a hpt and it came back neg which I knew cause I don't feel anything. I was thinking that maybe the tablets that I'm taking"premarin" have delayed this or I'm really into the early stages of menopause.

Sorry I just feel dishearted at the moment but still trying to be positive.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend :)

[mommyin10]

I missed your note earlier.  Thanks :)

[mommyin10]
