Why are you afraid? Have you heard bad things? I did and I was terrified. It felt like a more intense Pap smear. Some brief strong cramping, and that was it. Don’t let google scare you! It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be!

@momma do you know if the HSG pain was any worse than having an IUD inserted? I was able to tolerate that pretty well. It didn't feel good but it wasn't unbearable. I've been told me my HSG i will have to be hospitalized because they think i might be allergic to the dye. Maybe that means i can get the good drugs LOL!

Well, I'm having a symptom lol. I'm weepy. Really weepy. I listened to a mother speak of her daughter, and cried. I thought of my 2 year old daughter and cried. I thought about my dog that passed last year, and cried. Eyes have been welling with tears off and on all day lol. I'm always an emotional person, but geez lol.

Ladies SO's appt basically reveal his testicles are size 8 and 10 and normal is 20. They did blood work and next week he has to go do a SA and we have a follow up appointment for March 15th. So answers will be answered then. He will probably have to do clomid or HCG injections those are the two paths possible. But all depends on the results of blood work and SA.

Good news for me. My male and female hormones are all in normal ranges :D my growth hormone was elevated though so they are sending me back to do it again fasting this time. I grew from 173cm to 174.5cm in just over a year and my feet went up two sizes so not sure what my body is doing. Hopefully we are on track to get answers now. I have my transvaginal scan on Tues. if that is all clear then it will be hubby's turn to get a SA done. My doctor doesn't see a reason why I can't get preg but is waiting for the scan to be sure. 14 cycles is a long wait but maybe i've just been unlucky. Hubby never had trouble getting me preg in the past so I doubt there is an issue with his sperm.

I'm trying to be calm this cycle. I started beginners yoga and meditation. Lol i've never done either so it feels weird but the gp really drove home the fact that stress is not good for conception so i'm doing my best :) I also started netball so I can have fun and lose some more weight :)

@lissa I would say the discomfort is more than an IUD insertion. But it is bearable and it does not last that long. Women are so strong! Even people with a low pain tolerance can handle some strong cramping for 60 seconds.
@Kelly Lol I’m right there with you. I have cried three times today over little things. I hope that’s a good sign for us. Any other symptoms??
@bug I’m glad to hear you have some answers and somewhat of a direction to head. Hopefully good things will come in the near future!
@matarik I’m glad your appointment went well. Try hard to let the stress go (I’m not following my own advice lol). I hope you are successful this cycle!!

@Momma around 5:30, I had one incredibly sharp pain near my right hip. It was so strong, I doubled over for a second. Have you had any more symptoms?

Sore throat still slightly there. Some sharp pains in my left side (like ovulation pain) that lasted about 3 minutes. Acne really bad again since mid day. CM changes like every other hour. And my milk glands are hard and swollen.

@Matarikigreen the SA is very important there are men who don' t won' t to do it...I don't know why...mine didn't have a problem with that and I'm glad he did it because we found out that there was something wrong. for you...all things will sort out
