Fiver son- so sorry to hear about your cousin!!! Thoughts are with your family! Hope the progesterone helps you, not hinder o! Maybe yours is slow to absorb or something?
Genie- glad you're doing the antibody test! FYI it's close to $1k and my insurance didn't cover squat.... $900 to me :(. Hope yours is better! Mine in general doesn't cover labs well, but does great at professional fees. Your RE sounds great!
GDS- glad the ovaries look good. GL!
AFM, pretty boring today on CD12.

2more- Iâ??m actually taking progesterone prescribed by my RE. I have taken the cream in the past and liked the results. Iâ??ve also taken Soy Iso my last three cycles and liked it as well. I didnâ??t get pregnant though. I have PCOS and decided to give it a try. I didnâ??t take anything this cycle because I had a laproscopy done. Iâ??m going to start Metformin tonight and Iâ??m thinking of trying SI again as well.
Mylucky- Baby dust!
sugars- Iâ??m not sure why you got a + OPK so early in your cycle. Logically it makes sense because your cycle was shorter the last time. But, honestly I donâ??t know if thatâ??s how it really works. You do not have to apologize for ranting. I promise we all do it at one point or another.
SMC- ((hugs)) I just had a similar conversation with a friend of mine earlier today. Keep your chin up!
rebecca- ((hugs)) Oh darling! TTC is not for the faint at heart thatâ??s for sure. Iâ??ve been where you are for sure!
gds- I hope you get a BFP soon. How are your son and his family?
Firsttime- Welcome! I love your story! Youâ??ve taken matters into your own hands and thatâ??s so liberating. :-) Hopefully you guys will get your BFP before 2/14
pbc- FXâ??d and babydust!
penny- GL on your IUI! It sounds like youâ??re going to have a great chance of it being successful!
wifey- Hi!!! I hope O is in the near future for you.!
GMV- I'm KMFXâ??d that NTNP works in your favor. I know how youâ??re feeling. Iâ??m thinking of taking a break myself maybe starting in the spring/summer. I just donâ??t feel like dealing with myself and my level of impatiens and anxiety regarding TTC. Like I said Iâ??m gonna give it a few more monte before I make a decision. Thanks for sticking around :-)
While- Good for you on the BD â??scheduleâ??! Hopefully you caught your egg. FXâ??d!
cotton- Babydust!
MissCarol- *baby dust*
fiverson- Iâ??m so heartbroken for your cousin. I canâ??t imagine and thank you for sharing. We are here to support one another no matter what! I canâ??t believe you donâ??t have any results yetâ?¦.
mz- Welcome!
Genie- Thatâ??s awesome that you like your RE. Hopefully, you will have things ironed out soon!
AFM- nothing to report. No AF yet. DH and I are taking advantage of it though. We had a couple of weeks off because of the laproscopy so this is just makeup BDing. :-)

Five â?? I am so sorry to hear that! I cannot imagine how awful that must be for her and your whole family. :(
firsttime - TMI Warning......I took 2 ibuprofen an hour before and it was NOT enough, but I was on a board at the time with other ladies that said they barely felt it. I wish they had prescribed me a one time strong non-addictive pill. Maybe it is different at different times in your cycle? Like if you are close to Oing, then you are more open? They had a hard time getting it in for me. They tried a couple times and then I mentally told myself to "relax, open up" and concentrated on relaxing my cervix....not really sure if that actually did anything, but that is when it went in. The inflation part was a shock. It's all at once, not slow. I would definitely do it again that ONE time, just because now I know for sure I am open and that is a comforting thought after TTC 1+ years. The moving back on the table with all that stuff that feels like it could just slide right out and pull on something was so awkward too. Luckily the pain dulled and then went away within a day. It was like they stuck the pap smear stick WAY too far up there and cramps from hell at first though. I did have pain in my shoulders for a few days after. I think it was from the air bubbles. Again, I think telling myself to relax while on the table and visualizing my cervix opening up helped the most. My thoughts of "this isn't natural!!" were probably what was causing it to not go in. haha I think it cost like $700, not certain though. They originally said it was only $200, then I kept getting bills from doctors, hospitals, etc. I was mad that I asked them the full cost upfront and they lied.
I saw my husband's sperm last night on our microscope! Spent about 30 minutes just admiring them zipping around. :) Vas reversal was in May, so that is such a relief that it appears to have worked. Not that we've had them tested officially, but they are there!

Well ladies, I never thought I'd be making this post, but after 19 months ttc we finally got our BFP! We got a faint positive Friday and tested again with a digital yesterday. I'm in shock. We just saw our RE for the first time last week. We are going back on Friday so they can blood confirm it. They wanted us to come in earlier, but we are actually in Florida visiting my parents. We don't plan to tell them just yet which has been really difficult. I'm over the moon excited!
Super sore breasts, a touch of morning sickness, frequent urination, increased sense of smell, wild dreams, very bloated, and very happy!
I'll be checking up on you ladies and will keep you updated on my progress. Holding my breath that this little one sticks!

Ladies - I have a quick question:
I had to get up 45 minutes earlier today, so went ahead and took my temp. It was 97.9, which is what it's been the last 3 days. However, I was googling to see if this was ok to use since I took it at a different time, and I found something called a BBT adjuster. It said my temp at my normal time might have been 98.05...which temp do I use?
12dpo, if that makes any difference in your answer.
Thanks.

congratulations Scooby!!! [congratulations] [hh9months]
AFM. CD1, i am so devastated. hubby and i decided to make a fertility appointment at the IVF clinic to see if we are candidates, we are also looking into adoption but we are too young apparently to adopt a newborn from america and we just want a child so we are looking at toddlers in Ethiopia. [fingersx] we will discover God's plan for us and be able to start our family.

Yaaay Scooby! Congrats [smile]! It must be so hard not telling your parents, too! [hh9months]
@Rebecca, I've never adjusted my temperature even though sometimes I have different waking times. If it's too much of an outlier, I just discard it all together.
@SMC, sorry for cd1 [sad]. The good thing about your being young is that you have plenty of time ahead of you. I completely understand, though, about wanting to start your family as soon as possible. Praying you get some answers soon!

Congrats Scooby! [sticky_vibes]
Hope you are all doing well - and wishing you all a wonderful time TTC this month. Please remember to keep it fun and exciting, otherwise the pressure will just build up until something that should be so much fun really isn't at all.
Wifey - What CD are you on? I'm on day 14 now, and fingers are so crossed for this month.
Five - So sorry to hear about your family's loss. It may not seem like it but the universe does have a plan. Sending positive thoughts your way.
