Oh, my goodness, girls, I feel like I'm going through withdrawal! I haven't been able to logon since yesterday at work! Last night on the way home from work dh called me and was like "You need to get home NOW". There was really terrible wind and rain and thunder and lightening. The winds were 60+ mph!!! I got home and it took me over a minute to open the car door because the wind was b__wing so hard I couldn't push it open! My dh was out running around the neighborhood trying to catch our law furniture which had b__wn away. I felt like I was one of those news reporters covering a hurricane and the wind is b__wing so hard they can barely even walk! It was just amazing! There are trees down everywhere (I'm so glad none hit our new house!) and even our neighbor's huge central air cont_tioning unit BLEW OVER!!! I don't even think I can lift one of those! Well, we didn't have phone service until this morning so I couldn't get online. Anyway, my temp went up to 97.6 this morning and FF pushed my O date back, but also suggested that it could have just been from my progesterone cream that made me have the thermal shift. I think that sound like the case. I guess I'll just have to ask my dr about it. Even if my O date was moved back, we still bd on that day just incase, so there's nothing the dr can do about it now. The fact that my temps didn't steadily go up until I started using the progesterone cream makes me wonder if I had a progesterone dificiency or somthing. Daina, thanks for clearing that up for me. I checked out your piczo site, What a cutie Aiden is! OK, I feel left out now, so I'm going to make one and I'll post the link when I'm done. I still feel like I'm running a fever but my throat doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks for your concern girls! I think it's just from the progesterone cream or somthing. I'm really trying to keep up iwth everything but I'm falling behind. Togirl, welcome. Staci, how are things today? What did your temp do? Anna, did you hear from the dr last night? Hi Kelly, what are you up to? Hi to everyone else too! I'll post the link to my piczo site when I'm done!

I had a horrible night last night. DH got his results back and they were worse than the first time. His doctor said that we most likely won't be able to get pregnant on our own. He said we could try an IUI but since his count is so low there isn't a good chance it will work. That means that we will have to do IVF which totally scares me (procedure and $$$) but I am more than willing to do it if that's what it takes. The doctor also said my dh should consider having some of his ~o frozen just in case. I know dh feels bad but he wants to do IVF as soon as possible. I'm hoping my doctor calls me today so we can discuss our options. A girl that dh works with just got pregnant and I think she did IVF so I'm hoping that we can talk to her. I spent a half hour on the phone with my mom crying last night and then when dh came home we talked about it some more and once again I started crying. It was a bad night.

anna - i am soo sorry that you guys got bad news, i can't even imagine what you guys must be feeling... IVF is a great thing though - i've had quite a few friends go thru it, sometimes more than once, but in the end were successful... a friend just had her baby after her 2nd time, and another is pregnant w/ twins after her 3rd time... one of my friends works at the fertility doc that i go to and she seems to think that there's a higher success rate the 2nd time around when they use your frozen eggs - do you think that you will freeze some of your eggs that they retrieve?? does your insurance cover it?? alot of places offer financial consultants that will give you all your options to help you out in that dept. too... maybe if you get to talk to the person that you know, you'll be able to put your mind at ease a bit... good luck to the both of you - fingers & toes crossed!

I think my insurance covers $2,000 per calendar year for infertility treatment but I'm not sure if IVF is included. I need to check. I just want to have a plan to deal with this. If we are going to do IVF I just want to start now. We will definitely freeze the extra embryos for the next time and if we end up not needing them, then we will donate them to a couple that needs it.

Aww, Anna! What heart braking news! I am so so sorry! I'm glad you are keeping your options open to IVF, and it is great that your insurance will help cover some of it! I know a girl who just got pg her first try with IVF! My dr says it has a very high success rate! And that is so sweet of you to be willing to donate your frozen eggs! I guess that is what we would want if we needed it, right? What a joy, to help a fellow ttcer who is going through what we are! Who knows, Anna, maybe I'll end up needing one of your eggs! LOL! xoxoxoxo

Good morning ladies. Anna, I'm so sorry to hear the results weren't more positive. The first fews days when you receive bad news are always the hardest, but talking about it will definitely help make you feel better. Maybe after you speak with dh's co-worker about her IVF experience that will help ease your concerns. It's scary, but many people have a lot of success with it. (((HUGS))) Well, I did get a hold of my RE this morning finally (she didn't know her answering service was off and was quite angry about that) and I'm scheduled for my u/s tomorrow a.m. and then the D&C Friday morning. I'm very sad but I'm ready for everything to be over so I can mentally heal and move on. Everything will probably really hit me once it's over. Thanks for letting me vent girls...it really helps.

Hey girls! Anna I am sooooo sorry! What a horrible thing to start your day out with----but, I wanted to stress to you to try acupuncture!!! Before doing ivf especially. Friends of mine were told the exact same thing that your doc told you and they ended up pregnant after 3 months of acupuncture completely naturally (and much cheaper)...both her and her dh did it and it did the trick for his issues as well as hers. So I hope you might check that out because I really think it does a lot of miracles for people. And Bing I am so sorry you have to go in for a d & c this week...my heart just breaks for you and I just want you to know I am keeping you in our prayers. You seem to be so strong and I look up to you for that!!! Becca I love your piczo site! What a cute couple you and dh are : ). Love it!!!

Anna, I am so sorry to hear that. I also fear that DH and I will need to go on to IVF. I am going to have him take thre months of sperm builders! Then in November if his s/a comes back low again, we will most likely move on to IVF too. If we go on to IVF, I will want to have twins so I can just do it one time! : ) Daina, here is my piczo site! www.piczo.com/tonialovato btw, your pics were great, Aiden is so so adorable! : )

Hi girls! I've been researching IVF while I eat lunch and I've found out a lot of good information. I'm really ready to go for it! There is a fertility clinic just a few blocks from where dh and I work that his doctor recommended. I would want to try next month if that is what the doctor thinks is best. I'm scared and excited at the same time!

anna from the bottom of mt heart i wish the best of luck i would love to hear that you get a bfp the first try

I really hope we get a bfp the first time too b/c it's expensive. I have money saved up but I wish I didn't have to use it on this. I'm kind of hoping that maybe my parents will help us out but I don't know if they will. I won't ask them to help but if they offer I will certainly accept! I know dh's parents wouldn't be able to help with the cost (plus we're probably not going to tell them about it).

Anna, I LOVE to hear your upbeat att_tude! Wow, jsut think! 28 days from today and you could be pregnant!!! How exciting! I know what you mean about not wanting to spend your savings, but it will be all worth it in the end! I'm very excited for you!
