Hey ladies! Time for thread #3! Hope you find it; Our other one was growing a little long.

arlotheslug- clomid can make women very moody so i am assuming it can do the same for men. it sounds like you have been very very busy.
well ladies, i have my 10 week appointment tomorrow, back with my regular OB, no more fertility doctor which scares me. i am nervous about it, i know i had 2 healthy heartbeats but after 2 losses in a row i can not help but to be nervous. i need some encouragement that tomorrow will be good and everything will be fine. I still have many symtpoms like sore bb's, tried all day and all night, vomitting here and there like once every 2 days. please let me know these are good things and tomorrow will be ok. i just want to make it till 1pm tomorrow when my appointment is.
you ladies have been so great to me and i appreciate it more than words can express:)
leigh
well ladies just thought i would check in, infection is much better, i have one pill left to take and they are soooo nasty. start dissolving before i even am able to swallow them...yuck
anyhow there is still one little raw spot, but nothing like before.
babyrn i am so sorry for your loss....i was much further along with the two that i had lost years ago and i chose to be induced as i didnt want to have a d&c....in my mind was too much like a abortion. luckily for me, everything was delivered without problems. i am sorry that you had to go through such a awful experience. we are here if you need us
i may not post as often as i should, just because with the first couple of cycles i was so sure that i was pregnant and had the symptoms but i think it was from reading everyone elses symptoms...funny how your mind and body can play tricks on ya.
i think i O'd about a week ago, but not sure...so not gonna stress on it. right now my cervix is very high, and wet...not sure what that means but that is what it was, yesterday anyhow...i know these things change on a daily basis.
to the rest of you good luck and i will be looking for bfp's in the near future for you all
hugs, luv and super super sticky babydust covered in honey

Sorry I have been MIA over the weekend - it seems like I need a break from the weekend - a ton of work around the house. Needless to say, I have now added shrubs to list of homeowner dislikes - not to mention the fact that I cut the cord to our hedgetrimmer for the 2nd Time in the last few weeks.
DH finally got through to his dr and he is cutting off the Clomid. His mood has been rotten lately and I have to think it has something to do with the Clomid (along with house and infertility stuff). I realize we have been through a lot and he tends to blame himself for all of this, but hopefully this will help. I think he had a hard time this weekend - we had to pick donor sperm as a backup for the ICSI. The Dr. does not think we will need it, but just in case . . . it is a surreal experience! To top it off, we have to go to counseling in order to use the donor sperm. I understand why, but it is yet another appt . . . Needless to say, I am looking foward to a short trip planned this weekend to see my Best Women (never liked the Matron or Maid label) . . . and going to see the Police/Elvis Costello tonight - pretty excited!
Vortex: Thank you for keeping track of everything! You are awesome. Good luck tomorrow. Come on Follies!
Mommyin09: Good luck today. Come on Follies! (I think we need another cheer ;-)
Michelle: I am glad the lap went well and I hope you are feeling better. I hear you - we also have male and female factor - but, hey, I figure we are lucky and are certainly challenging the Drs.
Happy Monday everyone!

mommyin09, i will be thinking about you. sending lots of positive vibes your way:)
mommyof3... I know, it's so easy to obsess ! As soon as I get used to my cycle, some new "symptom" pops up & gives me a little false hope & then here comes AF ! It's frustrating, but we have to believe that our time is coming :) Best wishes to you !!!
Candie: No trigger. I think that would happen next time if this cycle doesn't work. Right now I'm only taking clomid & being monitored by u/s. If this 3rd round of clomid doesn't do the trick, my doc is referring me to an infertility specialist who, as I understand, will do clomid with iui. I'll cross that bridge if/when I get there :) I'm glad you're feeling positive & you have a short time before you're relaxing at the beach ! That's great, too, that you'll O while on vacation ! Will you be closing on your house when you get back?
I'll log on this evening with my u/s news. Unfortunately, due to work stuff, I had to change my appt from Wed. to today & so I'm hoping it's not too early to see anything??

Good morning ladies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'm doing good, staying positive and looking forward to another try. I should O over the weekend, which is great timing since we'll be on vacation!
mamatina - I am so sorry for your results. Looking at your temps, I was convinced that you O'd. Did they have an explanation for that? I hope you get everything worked out with your insurance and that you have a better outcome next cycle. Hang in there dear.
babynr - I hope that each new day brings with it some more healing for your pain. I'm not sure what to say, but know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. We are here if you ever need to talk.
vortex - How have your temps and your monitor been progressing? Good luck with your ultrasound tomorrow. What day do you usually O? I agree, the Clomid side effects are crappy, but it would definitely be worth it if it worked! Thanks so much for keeping our tracker updated, I think it looks great.
mommyin09 - Good luck with your ultrasound today! I can't wait to hear good news from you. Will you be having a trigger this time?
michelle - I'm sure you were hoping they wouldn't find anything during the lap, but that is so great that they did find something that they were able to fix! Hopefully that will be the key to get you on the road to conceiving. Not to pry, but what exact endo symptoms did you have? I too worry about this since I am in the "unexplained" category. I hope you are feeling better soon.

mommy of 3 ~ I didn't think I had any symptoms of endo, but once I started researching and reading up about it...I realized I had indeed has several symptoms, but ignored them or just thought they were normal. My mother told me there was no way they were going to find any endo, she was convinced...she had to eat her words. Hopefully this cycle works and you don't have to go through this experience.
vortex ~ no, no IUI this cycle...lap is not very pretty and I think it will take a few weeks to heal up back to normal. I go for my follow up next Saturday and am hoping he says we can do IUI next cycle in late August.
I do have to tell you though...I have no more "button" in my belly button :-( It's gone... do you think when the stitches heal it will come back?
I thought I would be able to go back to work tomorrow, but I guess if I can't even get out of bed without a challenge how would I chase preschoolers around

I know I haven't been on the thread much. I am trying to keep my distance. After 12 months of trying (this will be our 13th) I am trying lots of different things to change the karma around my fertility issues..lol. Anyway, I am 10 dpiui. Why is it around this time I always get really down and pesimistic? It is so hard to stay positive after so many let downs. I'm not really feeling anything yet. I am really tired, but that is nothing new really. I also don't know what to dismiss because of the HcG shot and the follistim. Even though it is all long gone out of my system, the sore bbs are continuing, I am tired like I mentioned before and I have three zits on my chin which I NEVER EVER EVER get. I might get ONE before my period, but nothing like this. I have hardley ever broke out in my life. So who knows...it could just be my body adjusting to the meds...or coming off them. I also have some twinges...yesterday I REALLY did for about an hour and then it went away. But that could also be follies going away? Can you feel that? Oh well, this is why I try to stay off here because I OBSESS! I love coming on here to offer any help or advice, but I hate obsessing!
Michelle- Good to hear about your lap. That may be a next step for me if this month doesn't work. Good to hear yours was good! Sorry about the gas...ughh, that ***** and is SOOO uncomfortable. Did you have symptoms of endo? I don't, but some women don't and since our infertility is pretty much "unexplained" it may be something we look into.
Vortex- Good job with the thread!! You can add me if you want. Like I said I am 10 dpiui, but I think that I am 23dpo. I would have to go on FF to make sure. Anyway, thanks for keeping it up.
Mommyin09- I will check tomorrow for you u/s news!
SSBD to everyone here...

You've done a great job keeping our stats current & I agree with your decision to drop the others off. If they come back, they can always be added :) Are you feeling better today? I'm excited for my u/s tomorrow & can't wait to hear your news on Tues ! :)
That's great news ! :) I'm glad you're feeling better & it's good to know that it was necessary & that you probably wouldn't have gotten pregnant before doing the lap. Now you should be on your way !!! Very exciting :) Take care !
Good morning ladies. How are you?

Good to know that your lap went well and you could clear up one more hurdle towards the baby. Will you be starting the IUI this cycle or going to wait for next one?

Hey everyone. My lap went well...I have'nt been in that much pain, but really just uncomfortable. The gas is unbelievable, my stomach is huge!! It looks like the dr. put a 3 or 4 month old fetus in there during the lap ,LOL! Wouldn't that be great?!? The dr. found quite a bit of endo, enough that I wouldn't have gotten pregnant...he cleaned it all out and said we can make our baby now. We still have to do IUI's since my husband has issues too. I guess we fall into the lucky 20% of couples who have both male and female factor infertility.
Yeah, I am puzzled too!!! My insurance BCBS had been amazing!! They have paid for ALL my meds SO far and my DH step-sister in law went through all this too and her IUI's were around 250.00, so thats ok with us...we are willing to try 3 of them BUT, you HAVE to O to have it and my situation is my eggs are fine BUT they WONT COME OUT!!!! So, we have decided to have the HSG and see if anything is blocked and then IF I do start Oing again on my own then DH and I can take it from there!! :) So, DH has ALOT of questions for the RE so he is gonna call her and talk to her himself!! TTYL!! :)
Hey...today is my last day on Clomid and I am totally looking forward for the u/s on tuesday. I dont know why but today my temp dropped very low. I thought I am gonna O today because I am having EWCM too. But my monitor showed only Low reading. Well single temp has no meaning on it own. I will wait and see. Sometimes I read too much into my symptoms I guess.
mommyin:
When is your u/s scheduled?
babynr:
I am so sorry for all you are going through. Wish you to get better soon. Dont lose hope and one day it is going to happen for all of us. We are going to have a baby. Take care of yourself and DH. My prayers will be with you guys.
mamatina:
I was wishing that you would get the BFP and I am so sorry for the news. The cost of IUI + Wash is $600 approx. If you add injectabiles and the u/s it goes high. I would recommend you to call your insurance and check on how much of it will they cover. Our insurance needs you to call and get authorized for Infertility services before even going that route. All the best.
What puzzles me in your case is the temps. They are perfectly staying up as you have Oed.
Michelle:
How did the lap go? Keep us updated.
Stacey:
Have a happy and stress free vacation.
Arlotheslug:
Yeah. If it is going to give us the miracle, then I dont mind being on it. Last month was fine with Clomid. So I thought my body got used to it. But the side effects I had in my first cycle were all back. I need to update my RE on this. How are you? We hope that the spotting is for good reason.

hi ladies, i have been MIA for a couple of days, so swamped at work.
how are all of you. i see one more BFP on the lsit above, congrats babybaw.
luvkayln- i think it's great that you are trying natural this time around. i am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
babynr- i am so sorry you experienced that. i opted for the d and c both MC's cause i heard horrible things about that medication. you are so strong and you and your hubby will get through this together.

babynr: I echo the comments of arlotheslug completely ! Take care !!!
mamatina: I'm SO sorry :( I was expecting totally different news, as I know you were too. I'm just so sorry ! I don't have info on the cost for iui, but many women on here have done it, so I'm sure they'll have some info for you.

Babynr: Take care of yourself. If you ever need to talk we are here. I can't imagine the pain you feel and I know it will take time, but I also know that you will pick up and have your baby somehow, somewhy. I am always amazed at how strong we are as woman.
Resurfacing briefly...has been a VERY bad week. If any of you ever misscarry...decline chemical induction...it was horrific and unbelieveably painful, and in the end I hemmorhaged so bad that I needed a D & C anyways. DH has been as fabulous as ever. I lost a week of work but I guess I need to take care of myself some. Have NO idea what we're going to do from here. Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and hoping there's some more pregnancies in the works. Many blessings...
Ok ladies, here it is....I DID NOT O at all. BW showed I was only a 2.94 this cycle. TOTALLY F'ing *****!!!! SO, if AF doesnt show up by August 4th, I have to do Provera again, and then on cd1 I have to call the RE and she will do the HSG test and then we do more Femara and another trigger shot and then an IUI. Ok, what do those tests (the IUI) normally cost??? I have great insurance that has paid for ALL my fertility drugs SO far, but not sure about this one. I am heartbroken ofcourse and pissed off at the same time. So, that is MY day so far!!!
MamaTina and Michelle - Good luck to you both today! Try not to worry (I know, easier said than done!) and I'm sure everything will be OK. I'm anxious to hear your results!
Stacey - Thanks for the kind words, I actually ordered the FertilAid yesterday, it's worth a shot. I hope you have the best vacation ever! We're actually leaving for vacation next weekend, so I probably won't talk to you for a while. Us TTC couples definitely need all the rest and relaxation we can get - hopefully it leads to a BFP for us both. Have a safe trip and have fun!
