Reply by mommaforthe4thtime » May. 11, 2012 8:49am Jenn - for you. It really sounds like IB. Castiel - I know it's hard to face the facts and percentages. Hold fast to the fact that you did get pregnant once and it can happen again. It's so hard to trust and then feel so let down but focus on the fact that it is still possible. AFM - Had the trigger shot today CD13. Follicles were 25mm and 21 mm. I'm so hopeful and so scared. Scared of failing and having to go through all this again. I know that we are at a high risk for twins but I will take twins over nothing any day. Report	mommaforthe4thtime Posts: 17

Reply by aromatherapy » May. 11, 2012 9:10am ok I just can't stay away from you guys, so I'm back.. here comes the story. off bcp in 2009 chemical oct 2009 ttc for 18 months with NOTHING f.s app in march 2011 hsg april 2011 (TUBES BLOCKED) surgery oct 2011 (UNBLOCKED TUBES STAGE 3 ENDO) lupron for 3 months feb 25 conceived without a period from the lupron april 6 2012 miscarried at 5 weeks hubby says thats it he is done with kids, i said im not (he has 3 already) so decide to split after 10 yrs, still living in the same house. we talked he said how long you wanna keep trying for and i said maybe another 6 months,but i also said i don't want to talk about it im burnt out right now, whatever happens happens, so subject has been dropped. I feel the endo coming back so have decided that in my head i will try a little harder to conceive without telling dh for pressure reasons, and if i end up a single mommy then so be it. im 35 soon to be 36 and am not wasting anymore shitting time on this, its either now or never. im not really tracking but because of the endo i have really obvious symptoms of ovulation, so i know exactly when its happening, so its kinda hard to take the chill approach. anyways welcome to all the new girls, and the only story that sticks in my head is OMG quircks 18 friggin weeks thats amazing, and my due date twin joy, soo glad things are progressing good for you. annnnd i have quit smoking.. please ignore my ticker i haven't changed it yet.

Reply by NikiDoll » May. 11, 2012 10:24am aromatherapy - I'm so sorry to hear about the MC, and that DH is so unsupportive . mommaforthe4thtime - Those are some nice follicle sizes!! My RE says even when you have 2 really nice ones like that, the odds for twins is still only somewhere around 7% VaNiLLa04 - I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My coworker's wife just found out she has PCOS in November. She's 44, they had been trying for years to conceive a 2nd baby with no success, but since they had 1 child they never bothered with a specialist. She went to her OBGYN for pain, and that's when he put her on, I think,Metaformin? He never told her that it could have the side effect of getting pregnant, and sure enough the very next month they were pg. Sadly, she MCed at 6 weeks, but she got pg AGAIN right after and she's now in her 2nd trimester. So there's hope hun! I would ask your doctor if Metaformin might help you? AFM - I wanted to stop at the store to get a FRER pack on my way home, but I had been holding it for about 4 hours to try to have concentrated pee, and there was no way I could have held it long enough for a stop too . I had one blue test left at home, and it came up exactly the same as the first, with a super faint line. So I'm still not sure if it's a BFP, or just a really crappy lot of tests. Temps dropped a tiny bit this morning, but they are still far above coverline. AF is supposed to hit tomorrow, and typically the day before AF my temps drop to coverline, or below. So I'm hopeful. Since AF is due tomorrow, I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. If she doesn't show up, I'll get a FRER on Sunday and test again! Report	NikiDoll Posts: 89

Reply by GummyBear » May. 11, 2012 10:42am Vanilla - I'm sorry for your diagnosis. I have heard that many women with PCOS become pregnant with a little help. FX'd for you! Aroma - I don't even know what to say. That's such a tough situation. I hope you and DH are able to work things out and you get your BFP soon! Momma - I would love to have twins at this point too! After all of this trying and failed pregnancies I think I could handle tripplets even! Good luck to you! Niki - I hope those blue dye tests aren't playing tricks on you and AF doesn't show up tomorrow. FX'd that it is your time! AFM - 9 dpo and still no bleeding since Wednesday night. I caved and took an IC test this morning, but it was BFN. It could still be early. The earliest I got a BFP was 11dpo. Sunday can't come soon enough. Happy Friday everyone!

Reply by mommaforthe4thtime » May. 11, 2012 11:51am Elle & Tessa - I think when you start planning you plan everything including the names. Even befor DH and I could start trying we were looking at names. We have settled on Analysia Eliana for a girl and Lucas Elias for a boy. Analysia is a combination of both our mothers names and Eliana and Elias are the male and female version of Elijah in Spanish. Niki - FX'd for you. Stay away Jess - It's still really early but it's hard to kick the POAS habit...LOL. Report	mommaforthe4thtime Posts: 17

Reply by GummyBear » May. 11, 2012 4:07pm Mamma - I know! I have 10 IC tests just sitting at home. They were cheap so I don't feel like I need to save them. But at the same time I know they aren't as sensitive as FRER so a BFP won't show up until later. Ugh. Report	GummyBear Posts: 92

Reply by Expecting2Expect » May. 11, 2012 6:00pm Hi ladies! Jess - IC tests suck, especially this early... they say they can detect a lot earlier, but my first actually bfps (where you can really see the line) have always been on frer! Plus 9dpo is still early especially if you didnt implant till wed night... thats only a couple days! I've never gotten a bfp earlier that 11dpo either. Really keeping my hopes up for you tho!! Niki - Have you posted pics of the blue dye tests? Cant wait for you to test with a frer! Elle - Happy bding! I have tons of girls names too.... only 2 boys names dh and I both agree on tho. Boys names are so much harder! Tessa - People always say stuff like that when its a different name or different spelling, but aside from the fact that you'll never find any of those monogramed pens or whatever with your spelling, why would you want it spelled the same as everyone else? Especially when its a common name! Love your spelling of Mycheal to! What is your baby #3 name? (I you wanna share that is!) Kristine - Welcome back sweetie! So happy to see you back on here again! I know your whole situation sucks, but glad your making the best of it and coming at it with a positive attitude. And thanks, all is going well so far with this baby, hoping it stays that way! Momma - Jenn - Thanks hun! Can't wait for your u/s either!! hehe! Glad all went well and your little one is doing good! And especially that the af bleeding isnt anything to worry about! Hope it goes away sooner rather than later! Vanilla - Sorry to hear about the pcos Try to stay positive tho! Nicole - Yay even farther into the 2ww!! Glad you're keeping busy!! AFM - Today has been pretty exciting... I am 10 weeks 6 days along. That means I am officially through it all... last time in my pregnancy I started the actually m/c bleeding at 10 weeks 4 or 5 days.... I'm past all my "crap" from before! Woohooooo!! This is officially unchartted teritory for me! xx Joy Report	Expecting2Expect Posts: 1859

Reply by _snowwhite_ » May. 11, 2012 10:15pm Joy- I'm so happy for you. You've come so far! Good luck with your ultrasound. I can't wait to hear the details!! Gummy- I only trust frer. I never had the luxury of seeing two lines with my last bfp. It was a blood test. Which i trust more of course. I had a blue dye test that showed a bit of a line but df and I figured it was an evap. But you never know. I'd go with the frer though. 9dpo is very early. Stick it out!! Momma- those are lovely names. How would you pronounce analysia. Anna-lis-a or Ana-lie-za? I'd take twins over nothing too. Good luck!! Niki- I'm sure youre next. Sprinkle a little baby dust this way ok? Elle-happy bding!! Catch that eggy! Tessa-I like your names too. They're lovely! I'm having trouble with a girls name. I like bess and Amy but I can't think of middle names. I was thinking Amy Rae but I'm not sure. Aroma- I'm so sorry about your situation. That's rough. I'm so glad your back though!! Best of luck and lots of love!! Jenn- I'm glad they're looking into the bleeding. And I'm happy for the anatomy scan. Hope you and baby are alright. All the best! Vanilla- dfs ex (the one he has a baby with) got pregnant purely by accident and she has pcos. It's not impossible just a lot harder. Chin up. Best of luck. Nicole- happy 2ww!! All the best! Afm- nothing really to report. Just waiting out AF. Df thinks its on it's way but I'm still hopeful. According to the implantation calculator it may have not even implanted yet. That's why I'm waiting out AF. If it doesn't happen this cycle df has agreed to the shot once I'm healthy. I'm doing great today. My migraine that I've had since April 18th is gone (will see if it comes back) I'm out of bed. I even went grocery shopping. I'm doing excellent and feel even better. So hopefully I'm on the mend and df can get that shot in June. Been thinking a lot about my miscarriage and what might of been. Makes me so desperately want a child. I can't wait for the shot! Edit: oh yeah. I've had sensitive nipples, nose bleeds and heartburn almost daily since about 7dpo. Nothing as bad as when I got my bfp but still considerable. That's why I'm so hopeful. But it's unlikely this cycle. Report	_snowwhite_ Posts: 482

Reply by _snowwhite_ » May. 11, 2012 11:02pm Oh my god ladies!! I knew may was my month. I get paid just days before ovulation. I can get the shot in may!! But I think I'm out this cycle. I've got AF cramps. She's going to be two days early I bet. Report	_snowwhite_ Posts: 482

Reply by ellekayejaye » May. 12, 2012 5:27am I don't think it matters I just got a random appointment in the mail. I will be CD29 and exactly 4 weeks from my last LMP. I don't think they're looking for follicles, I think I'll have Ovulated by then anyway. I'm just looking at all my calenders and trying to guess when muy next cycle will start and it's going to be between 28th of May and 3rd of June. I hope they do something to help regulate my cyles lol It looks like I'm going to OV in the next couple of day whcih would put me on track for a 36 day cycle if my luteal phase is 14 days.... still a long time to wait Report	ellekayejaye Posts: 871

Reply by armywife52910 » May. 12, 2012 6:58pm Hi Ladies! Wow it has been a couple of days since I have been able to read this. So much has been going on! I just came in to take a break from yard work and needed to vent. Joy, Krunchie, and quirk .... Thank you for the 411 about the pre-af cramping. I went to the movies with the Hubby last night and was bummed when I found out I started my af 1 1/2 days early! Im pretty sure its NOT IB as it is my typical start to my AF andddd my bbt is back down to the low 97's. Ahhh nuts ! Here's to my next ov in 2ish weeks. Lets just hope that my co-worker doesn't bring in her cute as all can be 3 week old little guy into work again. He was sooooooooo tiny and my heart just melted. Im sooo ready! Hope everyone has a beautiful weekend! Come on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amber Report	armywife52910 Posts: 71

Reply by _snowwhite_ » May. 12, 2012 7:00pm All that cramping last night and no AF today. I'm super happy about that. She's due Monday. But I thought for sure I'd have her today. My belly that's usually flabby is tight though. Makes me wonder. Pregnant ladies! Press (gently) on your pubic mound and tell me how it feels. Is it rock hard or just kinda hard? If I don't get AF on Monday I'll test on tuesday Report	_snowwhite_ Posts: 482
