Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey all, How is everyone doing? Linda - i am sorry to hear about that! I pray that it is a false positive and that ur little baby boy is as healthy as can be! Again Ashley , congrats! Hope - those numbers are great, it i remember correctly the previous numbers were arounf 100-200, right, so since it is now over 500, that is awesome, everything is going fine! Again congrats! Welcome to all newbies. Krissy - praying that monday brings forth greeat news so u can follow Hope's example! tryingfor#3 - ooh! Hoping that af stays away! So u r gonna test tuesday or earlier. KUP and GL!! AFM, i am at 7dpo and i had b/w done today for progesterone level to see if I actually O'ed! I sure hope the progesterone level comes baack very high! My temp today went up, 98.62, while yesterday's went down from 98.13 to 97.79. well let me stop rambling:) baby dust to all!

Linda~Sorry to hear about that, bu as you know there is also a VERY good chance that it is a false positive. I know you will be a great Mommy to that baby no matter what. Ashley~Congrats on the two boys! Love the names by the way! You are surely gonna have your hands full! AFM: I am cd6 not taking any clomid this time around. I am not taking temps either, nor will I be doing OPKs. I am taking a month long break. We will not be trying at all this month. I saw the OB doc that I work for yesterday. He says I have all of the cla__sic signs and symptoms for PCOS. I will have some blood drawn to check testosterone levels on Monday as well as getting a 2 hour glucose tolerance test. I hate to say it, but I hope those tests come back positive so that I can atleast have a diagnosis. My doc said that if they come out positive that he would start me on metformin immediately....yay! He also mentioned that he could give me a prescription for fertility meds (didn't mention which one) under the table as he is not allowed to see patients for infertility....another yay! I also made an appt with Midwest Fertility Clinic for the end of this month before AF comes. Hopefully they will be aggressive and monitor me with ultrasounds as well as give me the trigger shot! My insurance doesn't cover any of this though, but they told me that the initial visit may only cost 250-300 and a s____n a___lyses is included in that price. I am not sure what to tell them about my history with AF because she is very irregular, but the last 3 months the u/pclomid has regulated it, but I don't think I should tell them about the u/p clomid....idk just the fear that they won't take me seriously. What should I do? Samantha

Hope~I am so happy for you girl! Femera really worked for you huh? Wow just when you thought nothing would come out of June you got your BFP...that sure gives me hope for August!

I'm doing well just nausea here and there and soooo tired of progesterone but can't wait for my next ultrasound next week. Hope sounds good as long as your hcg doubles or is close every 48hrs then u r ok, good luck have a great 4th all!!!

Sam~~ I would be honest about what you have been doing that way they know that its not working and can get you on something else. Good luck and who knows this month might do it because the stress of trying is not there. GL and keep us posted.

Hope everyone had a great 4rth! Everything was rained out here in Indiana, but by 10:30 it was just sprinkling so my neighbors who spent thousands on fireworks started their "show". I have 2 neighbors accross the street who like to compete on who has the best fireworks and we benefit! Hey ladies~ this is my first unmedicated cycle in 3 mos, should my period still come on time (28-29 days)? Clomid regulated me but since I am off of it I was just wondering if my period will be "off" too. i am just asking cuz I have my first appt with fertility doc on the same day that I may get my period. Should I reschedule for a couple days sooner than that, just to make sure I can start treatment (if she gives it to me) on time with my period?

Sam~~ Wish I knew that answer. It might be a good thing your on it when you go but then again it might not. Guess it depends on the doctor. Maybe call them and ask what they think. AFM~~ I dont know I am lost my temp has stayed up but this morning I woke up with a bad cramp and spotting but it was just that once. So I dont know what to think I havent taken a test yet. should I wait a few days to see if af is coming or test and see maybe it was just implantion spotting. I am so lost.

Thanks Tryingfor#3 Im gonna call tomorrow. Spotting just for one day actually sounds like a good sign to me! What day are you on? I would say that after implantation spotting you could testin 3 days but I may be wrong, I guess it just depends on what day you are on. I doubt that my husband and I will be bd at all this month, well maybe a couple times but we may use protection. I am gonna try to lose a couple pounds and will be hitting the gym hard before my fertility appt. We really just want a fresh start next month, plus with finals comming up soon I will have a whole new kinda stress to deal with. I am also gonna take my heart medication this month since I will be excersizing more. I could take it while ttc the doc said it would be ok, but next month I am gonna stop it again just to be sure. I am alsothing about buying fertiliaid for my hubby and I to start soon. Have a great week every one, and good luck Tryingfor#3!

Sam~~ I am on cd 29 so if af doesnt show then I will test mid week sometime. My temp was still in the 98.20 area so I dont know whats up guys we will see as the days come.

Trying - that sounds promising! How many days is your cycle usually?

LindaS- very sorry to hear of your results.... and my prayers are with you for your level 2 u/s to prove them wrong! Was that the results of your 1st trimester scan? I go in for mine on Friday

hi ladies linda i pray for your little boy that he won't have it. keep staying positive. well ashley 2 boys! congrats! i am hoping that i stay out of the boys club this time though! my daughter is desperite for a sister this time around! linda how many children do you have if i may ask? well i am feeling great, i gained 10 pounds so far. really have a belly this time around! take care ladies

rpats~~ This was my second trimester screening. I had it done at 16 weeks and 4 days along. Thank you for your positive thoughts and prayers for my little boy. *hugs* Thank you everyone, I do appreciate all of your encouragement and thoughts/prayers for my LO. I'm just staying positive that the level 2 will show nothing is wrong and he's very healthy. Esme~~ I have given birth to 7 children. I do have a step daughter that lives with us, and this little man will make a total of 9 children, though 8 total in the house since my second son died at 19 months old. Did that make any sense? *hugs* This LO will make number 8 I've actually given birth to. I hold out much hope of great findings based on the fact that I have no down syndrome on my side and DH has one cousin who has down syndrome (a hole in his heart that they apparently can't surgically change/repair...usually Ds is a__sociated with either neurological issues, heart issues, or stomach issues in utero from my research so far). So, I'm staying positive that everything is wonderful with my little boy :) *hugs to all* Sticky babies and beautiful BFP's for those who are waiting to test. I'm continuing to throw up too :( How awful it is! Oh, my SIL just gave birth to her son this morning around 5:15 AM. He weighed like 9 pounds from what mother in law said...he's a cutie and HUGE!!! He reminds me of my second son...he was right under 9 pounds and was too big at birth for 3 month clothes/sleepers!!! :eek: I'm hoping she didn't get many newborn clothes at her shower cause they are not going to fit him,lol!!!

Linda~~ Congrats to your SIL. Your lo is still in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry to hear about your lose. I love the fact that you have a big family Ive always wanted one I come from one and I know how awsome they can be. ESME~~ How many little ones do you have? Ashley~~ Mine runs around 28 days so that would mean I am a day late besides the little spotting yesterday.So we will see.

Trying - I have my fingers crossed for you :)

bamendjou - How are you doing? I will respond to everyone else in a few minutes I have to leave work to take my lo to preschool. I didn't take a hpt on July 3. Krissy68
