Hi ladies, it’s been a while since I’ve posted but I do drop in to read from time to time.

Lalou, I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly for you.

Alex, I wish I could give you a big hug. You have been trying for so many years and you long for a child of your own. I think it’s time for your husband to support you in this and explore all the options available to you before it is too late. I am not religious, I don’t believe in god answering prayers. I do believe in natural selection and for a long time I was waiting to fall pregnant without medical intervention. It didn’t sit right with me because I thought if a couple can’t have children that is nature’s way of dealing with the world’s overpopulation crisis. Eventually my desire to have a family of my own led me to seek advice from a fertility specialist and start the path to ivf. If I had cancer I would have chemotherapy, radiation, surgery to survive, so why not try ivf to have a baby? As it turns out, we did end up falling pregnant without ivf treatment and I’m writing this now at just over 38 weeks pregnant and two days before my 40th birthday.

Long story short, have the laparoscopy to clear your blocked tube, do whatever fertility treatments you need to do, leave no stone unturned and have no future regrets.

I didn't realize it but I ran out of FRER's yesterday I guess lol so I had to take a nasty blue dye this morning along with my wondfo. I'm reminded why I haaaate blue dye. There's a line! But barely. I hate how nervous it makes me being 13dpo now. Good news is - the wondfo is definitely darker!! I don't think I'll relax until after AF is missed and I get a good line on a FRER. I should get my delivery of them today.

So far both CTP threads in the past 4 yrs that I've been a part of (where I had legit positives) have started a huge wave of BFPs! Here's to hoping 3rd time is the charm for everyone here!!

Sharing my wondfos... They are easier to see in real life but the noticeable progression is what I care about most right now!

@Hberry. Boy let me tell you something. I work in the hospital on the 3rd floor. Cafeteria is in the basement (level 0). I took the liberty of counting the stairs (69). I go downstairs and when I go back up, I take the stairs. I had to stop at both floors (1 & 2) to catch my breath. That's a new one for me as I just did them yesterday and had hardly any issues. Let's hope your daughter is right. I think I remember my daughter touching it last night as I was telling her to be careful this week and I wanted her to be careful. She said, I will be nice to her. So sweet of her and she's 4. Now I just feel exhausted and tired.

@Alex. I hope that the pills and vitamines will boost your chances of getting pregnant sooner rather than later. Can't help you with the Metmorfin as I never took it.

@BCoops. Symptoms are different than the last time I remember but I also didn't keep track either.

See pics eveeyone.

Dye stealer is when you line is darker than the control line. Means your hcg is nice and strong!

4dpo today and I’m feeling pretty normal! I did my research about Metformin and I realized that the worst thing about this medication is that it comes with tons of side effects and it is very common to who ever takes it hence the doctor slowly rises my dosage.
Called my RE and she told me that if you take it with a proper meal it makes it easier. I usually eat once per day at night after work since I cannot teach dance with a full stomach. Yesterday I tried to eat both times and I didn’t have the symptoms. I guess I have to find a way to eat before taking it.
I also talked with my RE about my concerns after your recommendations and she told me that there’s nothing to worry about my health concerning this drug and that the worst thing is the side effects. She told me that I have to be careful about the side effects though because like every other drug there are rare cases that are more serious so if I feel anything unusual I have to call her. So yea at this point I have to see how it goes and if I can work my self up to the final dosage or if I can keep taking it in general.
I’ve never been in a medication about my infertility and it’s the first time that someone tried to help so I’m willing to be strong and endure any side effects if this is going to give me my baby...

Hberry don’t be so harsh to yourself! Sometimes it just takes time! Your body made it before and be sure that it will make it again! You got this.. stay strong!

Punk lol I love that you’re approaching it with humor! Few days left and you’ll know!

Punk digis need a higher level of hcg to show positive. Maybe needs more time..

Hberry I’m so sorry for your mother. I hope she recovers soon. I believe 7dpo is way too early to have strong symptoms and I remember last cycle you were also symptom spotting and it gave you such a disappointment. I just wanna say don’t read too much on symptoms hun since our bodies are preparing for pregnancy each month either way. Also when ttc we tend to have placebo symptoms. Happend to me a lot in the past so now I will only log a symptom if it never happened or if it is too strange for me! Of course hopefully for you this time it is indeed pregnancy symptoms and you’ll get your bfp soon.

Omg Agatch aren’t you frustrated? I would be so mad that the doctors aren’t willing to investigate and prevent anything bad. I really don’t understand doctors, seriously! The amazing thing on this situation is that your previous results came back good so that is some great news and hopefully the little bean is getting really cozy in there now! I’m having all my positive energy on you!!

AFM I’m on my fertile days and I probably will ovulate either tomorrow or the next day. RE said that we should bd everyday so that’s what I’m planning to do! According to my past cycle I will most probably ovulate from my wrong side but I don’t have any indicative pains yet!
Last night I saw that I took a digi and said that my levels were 1248 but I wasn’t pregnant and that I should ask for medical assistance. Lol don’t ask how a single digi said all that lol I have crazy dreams ok?

Dragonfly I wouldn’t use the word ‘sadly’ since it’s a healthy little bean in there! Congratulations hun that’s wonderful and even though is not twins as you wanted you’re still so blessed to have a baby growing inside you body!!

Klyla I hope you caught that egg girl! We’re definitely cycle buddies and hopefully for both of us it will end with a bfp in two weeks!

My temps went Significantly up today I’m confirming I ovulated yesterday and I’m 1dpo today! Let the dreadful TWW begin! I’m not sure now that I ovulated from my wrong side cuz I had a lot of pains from my good one too so yea... not really counting my self out. Still a bit hopeful
