Pregnancy Info HOME

sorry about the caps i just realize i hit the cap lock b___ton

tonia - wow, a faint positive - thats a good sign - every time that i've been pregnant its started w/ a very faint line (like so faint that you can barely see it LOL) staci - i'm sorry that you're feeling down, i know how that can be... all the effort and energy you put into ttc can really take its toll - maybe a little time off is what you need, but don't get completely discouraged yet... i would check w/ your doctor about your af and see what they say........ becca - tell your doggie happy bday :) thats so cute that you're doing that for him, i always wanted to do something like that... he's a cutie too! k, so my docs office called as i was heading out to run errands and asked me if i could come back to the office to be triggered (guess thats a good sign, again didn't talk to the doc) - i was like, i'm there in a sec... they want me to bd tomorrow and then come in for the iui on sunday morning..... we bd'd today before he went into work and then i did an opk tonight and it was much darker than this morning - so i'm excited... but here's the kicker - i'm being silly i know - but i'm scared to do the iui for one reason, how do i know 1000% that its really my sample - LOLOLOLOL - don't laugh too hard, but i'm paranoid... so do i totally put my trust in someone else's hands and know for sure that its mine ???? k, now that i shared that ridiculous idea i have in my head, i'm signing out... gotta finish bathing ds and get him to bed.......

Hey girls...I almost didn't get the chance to get on today but am I sure glad I did!!! Staci darlin, I really hope you get rejuvenated and feel better about everything very quickly!!! I will be praying for you and I know you are an extraordinary woman and will get through this ordeal! If you ever want to email me I would love to talk with you more and I think I can speak for all of us when I say we love you dearly as well and completely respect your decision to take a little break (as long as it's just a little one ; )...I am definitely on board with not trying to be SO in touch with our bodies because I really believe that sometimes we can psych ourselves out and it's good to just relax (as impossible as that sometimes seems!). We're here for you and hope you feel better very soon.

Hey all, sorry Staci that today is sucking. Hopefully it will get better. Tonia-I hope that yourr line gets darker and turns into a bfp...it's about time huh?!? Well, I'm going to the mall with a girlfriend to go shopping! Yay! I took an opk today and it was a faint faint line so a negative. Today is cd13 and I haven't had ewcm yet, so It's coming soon.

Ok girls this is it for a few days! I don't want you all to think i just need to get away from you all or the forum in general. I just need to not think about ttc so much and being on here makes me think about it constantly! Thank you all very much! You all are such good friends, really you are! I got to tell ya though, I will be really thinking about you all and praying hard that something good comes of this cycle for you all! So Anna and Daina, I'm really rooting for you all. I'm very excited you will be doing your iui's! Daina I think you've been watching to much soap opera's! LOL! The ones that I watch every now and then always have the switcharoos on samples! I watch days of our lives and that just happend! don't worry though, everything will be just fine. It will make you feel better if you found out the whole procedure(like what the lab does etc. with the sample so you know where your future babies-well 1/2 babies :)- are and what they are doing!) I haven't heard anything from the dr. office, guess they just called it in and I won't hear from them. I will call monday and ask about the temps. I realllllly don't want to do them! I mean they are the same every month, so he (my dr) should pretty much get the jist of things by now. I dont' know if I will ask about what happend today. I'm kind of embarra__sed, like they will think that I am over reacting or something. this is the 2nd time that has happend since ttc. I can't figure out what it could be? Could be possible it WAS a blood clot and it emptied just leaving tissue...oh well, it's done and over with! Man I'm gonna miss you guys but i have to do this, don't let anyone take my place ya hear?! ;) Bing still thinking of you and dh. Hey do any of you know how much a hsg, sa and post coital cost? My dr. will most likely want to do a post coital(he's notorious for that) after this cycle, and prob and sa. Thanks in advance! Talk to you all later!

LOL - Daina, I was laughing so hard when I read your post! The thought never even crossed my mind that they might get the samples mixed up! Thanks a lot, now I'll be worried about that too - just kidding! Kelly, thanks for your response. I will be having an hsg next month, so hopefully that will help me too. Tonia, are you testing again this morning? I might test on Monday morning. That will be 11 dpo. I have a $ store test sitting under my sink in the bathroom just calling my name. LOL! My temp went up another 10th of a degree to 97.7 this morning, and my bbs were a bit sore when I woke up. Staci, I know you won't see this message for a few days, but I'll be thinking of you. Oh, my puppy's birthday party was fun. He is so cute opening presents. He LOVES it! He tears off the wrapping paper bit by bit. He's so cute! We're doing a lot of cleaning and home projects today - fun, fun, fun!

Hi ladies...it's me! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as I really appreciate them! Yesterday was a tough day but I surprisingly feel much better today. Just seems like it was a bad dream. The procedure went well and hopefully in a few days I'll be good as new. I'm sure there will be a lot of ups and downs but at least the worst of it is behind us. Staci - I'm so sad to hear you'll be taking a break from the forum, but I totally understand how you feel. You need to do what's best for you emotionally, but you'll be missed terribly! Whenever you want to pop in we'll always all be here. To answer your question on costs, I know my IUIs were $300, so I would think the post coital, sa and hsg were less than that. Your dr. office should have a list of procedure pricings or be able to tell you. You're not overreacting about anything either. I would be concerned if I saw clotting too - definitely bring it up with your dr. I hope you'll keep us updated on how you're doing. Daina - your story made me laugh because I actually had the same panic when dh and I did our first iui. I remembered afterwards that when we dropped off his sample to be "washed" that I had forgotten to write his name on the cup. There was another patient doing a drop off at the same time so dh and I were freaking out that what if they mixed up the samples?! I'm sure they are very careful so don't let that deter you from doing the iui! Becca, Kelly, Angela, Tonia I hope you're all doing well. I'm hoping this is going to turn into a bfp for you Tonia! I'm going to go rest for a while - don't want to push it too soon. Plus, dh keeps yelling at me to rest (I had to sneak on the computer!) so I'd better scoot before he catches me! Take care girls!!! xoxo

well i'm glad i gave you all a good laugh :) staci - you figured me out already, a "days" junkie ;), but it also doesn't help that i'm a paranoid person anyways.... sooo, my dh called earlier from work and said that he's totally for the iui if thats what i want, so i was really excited... did a strip and the lines were realllllllllllllllly dark - yippy!!! but then the dh just called and said to not be surprised if he got held over at work tonight because he's next on the list and they can't get in touch w/ the first guy :( :( :( i want to die!!!!!! he may be able to fly home for a quick bd @ 4, but may not and then that means that he won't get home until the time that i'm suppose to be dropping off my sample in the morning........... just when i thought this could actually happen :(................ phone just rang and it was dh - WE'RE SAFE!!!!!! off to finish getting ready for a kiddie party - hope you all are having a relaxing weekend!

oh, and bing - glad to hear that you're feeling better...

Hi ladies..not much action on here today. I am having some ewcm today! That means that o time is approaching. I think we're gonna bd every day during the fertile times and then hopefully my temp will confirm o time. Dh and I went to a chinese restaurant and we got fortune cookies. The fortune wasn't anything good, but on the back they have learn chinese words, words in english that they translate to chinese. Mine was October and dh's was Daughter. I think it's a sign....so we were trying to decipher the October one and we were thinking either find out or give birth in that month. I really hope and then again I hope that it's not that long, but I would love to have a baby in October, because that's when me, dh and the dogs all have birthdays!!! Yay!! Boo it's 6 more months of ttc.

Morning Ladies. My temp went back down to 97.4 this morning. It's really not rising much like I see on other people's charts. Maybe that's part of my problem - low progesterone. I was looking back at another month that I had charted and my temp pretty much stayed only 2 tenths of a degree above my cover line except for a few days that it went really high. Basically, it looked the opposite of Staci's chart. Bing, it is very good to hear from you. Again, i am so sorry that you've had to go through this, but I'm glad you are feeling better already. How soon can you actively start ttc again? Daina, glad everything worked out for you yesterday. I know, trying to bd at certain time can be tricky. Beks, good news on the ewcm! Time to start bding! I got news that yet another one of my friends is pg. She just told me 1 month ago that she and her dh had just started to ttc, so she either got pg on the 1st or 2nd month trying. I have to see her at a wedding in 2 weeks. I know I'm an awful person, but it is really really really really really really hard for me to be happy for her. She knows of our ttc issues, so hopefully she'll be sensitive. I had a good long hard cry last night when I found out. I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take. It's making me cry again just to talk about it, so I think I'm going to go and make breakfast. Have a good day girls, and I am soooooooo glad I have you.

Goodmorning ladies! I'm sad to see that Staci has left us:( Bing, I am glad that your procedure went well and I hope that you will be back in the (tourcherous) game soon. Beks, that is pretty cool about the fortune cookies but I hear ya, October is WAY too long to wait. We need your BFP this month! That is awesome that O time is approaching for you. I hope it is approaching for me to. I am a few days behind you and I also took my clomid on days 5-9 so I will probably be about 5 days behind you...hopefully we can be in the TWW together! Becca, what did your temp do this morning? If it went up, I think that you should TEST! But it is a tough call if you only have 1 test left. Yay Daina! Have fun bd-ing! Tonia, where are you? I had a dream about you last night (weird, I know) anyway, I dreamed that you got your BFP. I hope that I am right!

OH Becca! Your post brought me to tears! (i'm really emotional). I feel exactly the same way that you do! I found out Friday that my friend's sister is pregnant with her 3rd. I was sooo jealous. I also don't know how much more I can take. But lets try to be strong. For a few more cycles...or at least till the end of the summer. I have a feeling that something good will happen with this summer lovin'. Are you going to talk to your doctor about your theory of low progesterone? Let me know what he says. How was your doggie party on Friday?

Anna B. One of my good friends had IVF and the first try took and she gave birth to twin girls. IVF has a high success rate and I wish you all the luck in the world.

good morning... hope you guys are having a nice weekend :) becca - i totally know how you're feeling and it doesn't make you an awful person, it just hurts and its only natural to feel the way that you do... when my first pg ended in m/c i found out that my cousin and his wife were pg - it crushed me... it happened again w/ the same couple for my 2nd m/c - and then again w/ my 3rd w/ a girl at work and i had awful thoughts as well... i just didn't want to hear her talk about anything - but i didn't mean to not be happy, i just couldn't be... it'll happen for you, don't you worry :) sooooooooo, we didn't do the iui - sorta had no choice - we were suppose to d/o our "sample" this morning at 7:30 about 20 mins. away which left us waking at 6:30 and of course the dogs and my dh were up as well - unfortunately we weren't successful (poor guy having to perform on cue has taken its toll)... so i drove to the office this morning cuz i couldn't get in touch w/ them via phone and the nurse said if we bd on fri & sat. to do it again today and we should be okay... i felt myself ovulate yesterday, the first time in a very long time - but i was also worried that that would interfere w/ the iui (being too early??) - but the nurse seems to think that we're fine.... i go in on friday for a prog & estrogen level then in a week from then for a pg test... i guess it just wasn't meant to be this time around....

cd15 and still a neg opk. I compared it to last months and it was lighter than last month. I'm still having ewcm though, so maybe in the next couple of days. Sigh...I hate waiting!
