Pregnancy Info HOME

Hoping- Thanks for asking about me... not much to talk about over here. I'm 7DPIUI and not feeling any different, so I don't really know if that means anything good or bad. We'll see. I have been really really hungry lately though, but that's common right before AF, so I'm not counting that either. I'm only 1 week away from testing. And I won't test early because of the likelihood that the test would be a false positive (HCG from my trigger shot is still in my system, I took a PG test at 2, 3, and 5DPIUI and they were still positive). So I'm giving myself until AF is due without testing which takes all of the fun out of it lol j/k! Hope you are all doing well!!!

Angelmamma--Wow, still a week away to wait huh? Well, I'm still thinking about you guys. Still waiting for AF here myself. Nothing else knew to report....

Hey ladies here is my updated. I went to the gyn on thursday and they told me my left tube is blocked which I knew that from the HSG but I didn't know that I had endo and 5 fibroids so now I can see a fertility dr. My gyn finally fax the information to my family dr today and my family dr submit the request to my insurance company for the referal so now I am just waiting on the insurance company to get back to my family dr. I hope I know something in a week because I would like to go before AF show up so I can have a game plan. I am currently on cd 16 and according to fertility friend I ovulated on cd 13 so I am 3dpo but I have taken 7 opk (got from the $ store) and I never did really get a positive.I have been bding away and now I am starting to have ovulation pain I think my lower right ovary is hurting. I will keep you all posted. I should start AF around the 23. How is everybody doing? Krissy68

Krissy--I'm sorry to hear that you were referred to a fertility specialist, but I'm HOPING for you that things go well and your insurance covers it! Still waiting for AF here. I think it's supposed to be Thursday or Saturday. Since I didn't do any OPK's, I'm not entirely sure when I did O, but it's definitely usually between those two days. Hope you are all still doing ok otherwise! Remember the big day of LOVE is right around the corner!!! :) So enjoy it!

Krissy- Sorry that you're off to see an RE. I hope that your insurance covers something! I know that mine doesn't cover anything but diagnosis. So after I was told that I needed infertilty treatment my insurance stopped covering anything. The clinic is still trying to get some of it covered, but so far, I've racked up hundreds of dollars in visits and ulrasounds that are insurance pending... everything else we just went ahead and paid out of pocket because we knew it wouldn't be covered.

Hey girls how is it going? I wanted to be refered to the fertility dr because my gyn just wasn't doing it. I am 40 and I feel my time is running out. My insurance is a HMO and it said it will pay 50% and they will let me do this 3 times but my dh isn't on my insurance or does he have his own so will have to pay for his out of pocket. I am waiting on my insurance to get back with my family dr so I can get this show on the road. I hope to know something by the end of the week. What cd's are you both on? I am on cd 17/4dpo and I think I will test on V-Day since 4 years ago when I found out I was pg with my last daughter it was on V-Day and it was on a Saturday as well and AF wasn't due for another 8 days. Talk to you soon. Krissy68

Krissy- I'm glad that the doctors are being proactive now! I hope that it all works out for you. I am currently on CD 25/11 DPIUI and I took another test this morning, and they're still positive from my trigger shot (I took it 12.5 days ago). I'm hoping that I can have a reliable pregnancy test by Friday.

angelmamma329 - When did they say you could test? I am hoping that Friday it is a BFP but I am thinking that your trigger shot should be out of your system. I just called my family dr to see if she have any information for me and she said that she submitted it to the insurance and while we was on the phone she went into the computer to see what the status would be and it said pending which she said is good and it normally take them about 7-10 business days to respond back so please keep your fingers cross and I will update when I know something. Also I am cd 18/5dpo and my temp went up some more. I am trying to stay positive. I am planning on testing on V-Day just for the heck of it. I will only be 8dpo and I know it is too early and I am not going to be mad if it is Negative. Take care and I will talk to you soon. HopinginColorado - Where you at girlfriend? Krissy68

Hey Krissy! That sounds like great news! Both your temps and your possible coverage. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start AF, however, I haven't had any of the regular spotting or anything that I usually have leading up to my period. So, I'm a little confused. My b___bs are sore and I'm a little nauseous so I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm confused. I was supposed to o when my DH was gone, but I might have done it after he got home...??? Possibly. We'll see. Anyway- that's my update. Fingers crossed! Oh, and I've taken like three tests and all are negative. So, we'll see.

HopinginColorado - How are you doing? I'm keeping my fingers cross for you. I hope she don't show up. Here is my little update. I am on cd 19/6dpo and my temp went down some I am hoping this is my implantion dip so maybe my temp will go back up that would make me happy. The good news I guess is that it didn't dip below my coverline. I am going to test on V-Day I will be 8dpo and I know it is early but 4 years ago on V-Day I found out I was pg with my 4th daughter and AF wasn't due for another 8 days. I took 5 test that day cause I just couldn't believe it. I have prepared myself not to be sad if it is Negative. I will let you know have a nice evening and I will talk to you in the morning. Krissy68

Krissy & Anglemamma--so I still have not seen AF. I have taken a PG test every day for the last four days and they are all negative. I'm a little worried, because if I am pregnant, this is a little too familiar like last time. I didn't get a positive test until I was almost two months along and then I lost the baby 4 weeks later. So, I'm still scheduled for my drs appointment next Tuesday, and I need to get another test, because I"m out. I'll keep you all updated and let you know if I get AF or if I get a BFP! Angelmamma---any news this morning since it's FRiday!?!?!?!??!?!

Krissy- they said that I shouldn't test until 20 DPIUI... but everything I've seen has said that tests can be reliable 10 days after the injection. So I tried to hold off testing, but at 11DPO I started testing and now I'm 13DPO (15 days post injection) and they've all been positive, even the CBE Digital I took yesterday morning. Good luck testing tomorrow... and I hope that everything goes well with your insurance! Let us know if your temp spikes again!! Hoping- What's going on with you?! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!! I told Krissy that I have been getting BFPs but I'm not going to test again until 20DPO to be sure that it's a true positive since I had to do an hCG trigger shot. It's going to be tough to have that test in my closet laughing at me for the next 7 days! Ugh. I hope you both caught the egg this time around!

Hey ladies here is my little update. I am still bding and trust me not by choice but I give in I know we have pa__s the ovulation stage but he want to make sure go figure. Anyway yesterday was cd 19/6dpo and my temp went down to 98.33 and today cd 20/7dpo and my temp went up to 98.39 so would you say yesterday was the implantation dip? What do you think I am just hoping that they now start going back up and not down. I know last cycle my cd was 29 but my lp was only 12. I did call the fertility clinic that hope my insurance pick and talk to the nurse and she was real nice she said the insurance that I have will cover 50% so that is good because most of the patients don't have any insurance. My first visit is going to cost me $88.55 w/insurance w/out insurance it would have cost $177.10 and of course I have to have lab work but she said I can go to the lab that I normally go to and my insurance should cover 100% and then I will have to have a HSS (please don't ask me what this is cause I am not real sure I think she said a u/s where they injuect saline solution up in you to see what is going on) I know I will have more information when I have to do this but this will cost $250.00 w/insurance and $500.00 w/out insurance. The SA don't take insurance coverage and that will be $125.00. I am still waiting on my referal to come through from the insurance comany they have to send it back to my family dr when I talk to the nurse the other day she went into the system and it just said it is still pending she said that is a good thing and it normally take 7-10 days so I should know something next week. I will update. I hope you ladies have a wonderful Happy V-Day. Talk to you soon. HopinginColorado -Well I hope the next test you take you will get you BFP. I can't wait for you to go to the dr cause that way you will know something. Keeping my fingers cross for you. angelmamma329 - When do you go back to the dr to confirm your pregnancy? Congratulation on being pg. Take care and no stressing you hear me. Krissy68

Good morning ladies....... Here is my update. My DH and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate my birthday and Valentine's day. Since I still had no period, I took a PG test, and there was a super, super faint line. So, I didn't drink, and I held my breath that when I took one this morning it would be darker. It was! So, I have a BFP! And I'm still going to the DR on Tuesday because I want a blood test to confirm and make sure everything is ok, because last time...it wasn't and I lost the baby at 13 weeks. Krissy---how was your test?!?!

I just went in for my blood test and they said they would let me know within the next 24 and then schedule me for another blood test either in the next few days or next week and when my counts hit over 3,000 they'd schedule and u/s. How are the rest of you ladies doing?!?

I am new to this site and looking for a little guidance. I would like to try the soy isoflavins, but not sure how it works. How much would I take and when? Any relevant links/webpages? Thanks so much and good luck to all.
