SSBD to all in there tww!!!!!!!!!

Jenna - how fustrating, but you could still be a bit early. I didn't show up 15dpo...some need more time than others. Blood work always helps to ease the mind!
Owl - I am so glad that Dr sweet helped with the diagnosis, but he wasn't much help beyond that. I think he doesn't really care once he knows you are not jumping right into the big dollar ivf treatments. But i found a WONDERFUL ob/gyn now that i LOVE. I really feel the right dr can do so much for you. Sorry the tww is dragging on for you - they always do! LOL...this is always a good time to start a new hobby! :)
Rain - I am SO SO SO glad you were able to get blood work done. Stinky that it was not marked stat, but at least you will know and have peace of mind. It's fustrating when your dr won't listen to you and you have to search for someone that will. I had a dumb insurance issue a while back. The lab couldn't get my results back fast enough for my dr on a weekend, the place that could get them back soon enough wasn't covered under my insurance, so I had to go to the emergency room just to have bloodwork done in a timely fashion at a reasonable price. It's so dumb the way these things work sometimes. I am so anxious to get your results tho. Be sure to update ASAP. When do you expect them back? Wed or Thurs?
I'm so sleepy today...hope I can make it through game night!

amandamae1126: Thursday the by the latest! But I am dying over here by lower back in just killing me, and now I am having the pinching on my left side (lower area) This is about to put me into tears! I don't know if I should just take a HPT tomorrow morning, and see what it saids (even thou we know it will come back negitive) but I am also scared because I am excerising almost everyday now. Should I take it easy until I know. OMG! Now I have all these questions, yesterday when I was at the docs office I couldn't think of anything execpt for TAKE MY BLOOD PLEAAASEEE! It is so nice to hear from you! Miss you girl! I am glad to see that you are doing better! :)
Well, I haven't been on for a few days but here is what I know. I am anxioualy going through another slow 2ww. My Dr never called me back about my questions but the nurse called me yesterday to let me know they called in my 200mg prescription early so I could get it before I go on vacation in case I need it while there. I asked about the menopause and all the nurse said was the Dr said there was no sign of that. Well, that is great but maybe she needs to know I may be running out of time. I am thinking of looking for a new job. I want more time with my ds and at a regular school I would get more time off and that is what's the most important to me at this time. I am under contract for another year so it won't be real soon though.
Rain: I am anxiously waiting for your blood test results. I am so happy someone finally ran them for you! The prayer made me cry. I have been very emotional this cycle but I know it is from all the clomid. I think this high dose is making me super teary.
Owl: I can relate to some of your issues. I was originally put on bc when I was 16 because my cycles were really bad and painful. I ended up being on depo at 18. I was on that for 7 years and then after off for a few months they diagnosed me with endometriosis and put me on other meds for that. I then had med problems after being on that for 5 months. I was told my only option left was a hysterectomy which I refused. Then 4 yrs later I got my ds. It is confusing and hard but I really want to know what is wrong and now this Dr says she doesn't think endo is my isssue but just low hormone levels. I really think it is time to see an RE!
Jenna: I am in shock for you. I just really thought this IUI would work for you. I haven't given up for you though. Yes, the mc are really hard. It is frustrating that it takes me 2 yrs to finally get my BFP and then they end in mc.
Sherry: Im sorry to hear about the dh. That is frustrating! Poor guy.
Amanda: Thanks for the CD21 info. I hope they will run that next time.
All: I am curious if any of you did the test that can be done on like CD 2 or 3 that checks for eggs??? I know you can do them at home too.

Tryingforbaby2: How are you! TWW always drag out soo long! I have my cell phone on my desk so I can hear/see it at all time, and I called my docs office and gave them every possiable number that they would be able to reach me...but I know that they will only use one number..they are soo lazy! I just want to know why I am going through this! Pink N Brown, with really bad cramps, nausea, upset stomach, and my boobs hurt! sorry TMI! At first, I think maybe Metformin, but I know that wouldn't use the spotting. :(
Well today is dragging!!! I am soo tired, I closed my office door, took a quick nap!! opps! I have so much work to do, but I am always having to pee, and I keep checking to see if maybe AF is coming...NO..and these pads aren't cheap! I am half way tempted to take a HPT, but then again for what? I already know they haven't worked this far. Why can't I just be normal! After I got my little nap in, I wanted some Snicker Doodles, and I haven't eaten this cookies in a couple of months..I had to leave the office to Giant to get some freaky cookies. OMG! Never again. I have had a bad day so far, because I am still cramping, my dog chewed up 8 of my new bra in less then a week. I don't know how he knows where I put them, but yeah I got up this morning and DH said "your not going to be happy" OMG!, so today I feel even worse cause the babygirl already hurt and I am using a bra that *****! Then my dog went crazy in the house last night, and went crazy in the bathroom with the toliet paper, and towels, and when I went downstaries to my living room and kitchen, OMG!!!! so I spend like 25 mins cleaning up, and it was raining, and traffic. OK! I can't be stressed, can't get upset! I have to stay positive! That is what I have been saying to myself all day! Luch time in 10 mins! I went to bed supperearly yesterday around 8:00. DH came up to check on me, and he was worried! AWWWWW!! Sorry for the time venting session! I am just not myself right now. :(

trying, are you talking about the u/s or the AMH test? I had both of those done on Monday. With the u/s they just tell you how many follicles you have (I'm still not sure how this helps) and the AMH blood work is suposed to predict how many eggs you'll have, I THINK. What test are you talking about? Which test can be done at home?
Rain, sorry you're having a bad day. hopefully you'll get your results SOON... hopefully you'll get good results but I know that just knowing either way it will make you feel better. I too hate the uncertainty of ttc, you never know and it kills me. I hope your day gets better.
