  2. 23dpo or 18dp5dt, 3rd beta

    by , 06-29-2012 at 08:49 PM
    I will admit that this past week was a looooong one. I have felt fine. My breasts are only a little sore every once and a blue moon. I have not had any more pink. I am more hungry and thirsty than usual. My son is still giving me my PIO and I dont seem to be getting as sore the next day. I guess my poor ole hiney is getting used to them.

    My big idea to have my beta drawn at my OB's office kinda back fired on me! I was thinking I would drive 20 minutes, get my labs drawn and then get ...

  3. Fundraising for IVF

    by , 06-29-2012 at 11:34 AM
    So many of us have a VERY hard time asking people for help, especially when it comes to finances. For anyone who is struggling to find a way to pay for their IVF, medications, etc... I wanted to share a cool idea with you. There is a fundraising website for various causes and personal projects. They take a cut of whatever you raise, but you set the terms of how much you want to raise, how you'd like to communicate with people, etc. It's really easy to set up. Send it to your friends and family ...

    Back from my mental health break lol... I had to give myself a little while to process all of my problems. I steered clear of fertility websites. And made myself not google "what are the odds of getting pregnant with high fsh." And for the most part I've been satisfied knowing that I am currently on the path of getting my body in the best shape I possibly can. Since my fiancé and I won't be trying for children until after our wedding next year I know I have time.

  5. 8dp5dt

    by , 06-28-2012 at 08:11 AM
    I am torn to test or not to test. I am 8dp5dt and I am not sure if I should take a htp or wait until July 2 to go to the clinic for a blood test. I am nervous to find out the results. My husband and I went through a fresh ivf cycle in April (transfered 1) and I did take a hpt and it was a BFP, but 5 days later we went to the clinic and sometime in that 5 days I had lost the pregnancy. We then decided to start the fet cycle and this time we tansfered 3. I wanted to have the best chances of getting ...

  6. My selective reduction story

    by , 06-27-2012 at 07:23 AM
    My story...oh my, I could write a book (which, I've considered, but books aren't interactive--and I would like to help actual people for now). I am going to attempt to keep it short, to the point and no sugar coating.

    My husband was away at war in 2007-2008. We found ourselves in a odd position: fertility issues and the possibility I could loose my husband to war (this was a reality, as we lost a friend the year prior). These are confusing and frightening prospects for a woman ...

  7. 15dp5dt or 20dpo

    by , 06-26-2012 at 01:18 PM
    Hello friends!
    After much thought, I wrote all the questions and concerns I had for my Dr and faxed them to my Dr's office. I figured it would give them time to give my concerns plenty of thought and also let them get back to me at their convenience. Or they could have just had a good laugh on me lol. Besides, I always forget half of what I intended on saying when I get on the phone.

    I was told I could start to cut back on my V8/gaterade consumption since it looks like I am ...

  8. Waiting for Ovulation---Clomid cycle complete

    by , 06-25-2012 at 09:43 AM
    Well here it is day 9 and I was done with clomid on day 7. My bbt's are still horrible so at this point I'm not sure that the 50mg of clomid did a thing.

    I have a dr's appointment this friday for another post coaital. Last time he said wait for the positive OPK and call this time he just went ahead and scheduled it for day 13. He still wants me to use the OPK's even though he's not sure I'm truly ovulating.

    I am so frustrated right now. It's been almost a year and ...

  9. 11dp5dt or 16dpo

    by , 06-22-2012 at 07:28 PM
    I did not blog yesterday as I worked a few hours and then I was very tired the rest of the day. I have been feeling more tired than anything. My breasts are not tender, I find that a little odd. My bloating is very mild, I sure can't wear certain jeans because its uncomfortable. I had not felt much in the way of cramps until today as I drove home from Lubbock. The feeling is more like an occasional throb in my right side bladder area. My daughter and my V8 rode with me. My appointment was at 9:45 ...

  10. HSG ---- done

    by , 06-22-2012 at 06:27 PM
    Well my HSG is done. Dh was so mad bc the hdh staff kicked him out before the procedure. I actually couldnt believe it. He might be over it by now but probably not. I was originally thinking I would have to go alone but he took the day off ( w/o pay) to go so I know why he is upset. The re said no blockages and my uterus looked good. He says IUI still our best option. He scheduled me for another post coaital on next friday, a week from today. If the test is poor or fair ( sperm was fair last time) ...
