Well, 12 dpo and a BFN of course. So disapointed. I know, technically I'm not out til AF comes, but I've held onto that false hope too many times before and I just can't let myself do that anymore.

Was hoping to be packing prenatals for the trip, but looks like it will be tampons instead. When we get back from the trip dh is going to call to have a SA done, and I can go in for tests in just a couple months now.

I am just so bummed out. I guess my cold symptoms really are just a cold, which sucks because it's getting a lot worse. Really wish I wasn't going on vacation sick and with AF. Hopefully it`ll come tomorrow so I can get it over with early in the trip and my cold goes away.

Morning ladies...
I apologize for the long time away. I have officially slipped into my sad phase...with dh training and set to deploy end of feb...there is no ttc without him here :( I always am thinking about my girls on this forum but have been too sad to come here lately. I miss hearing from you all and I wish I would be blessed to have been pregnant while dh was deployed especially because this year 7 months of it will be him gone.
Luckily I have been playing my dog and cats and trying to keep busy. My friend who literally sneezes and she gets pregnant is obsessing (prob just me being jealous) over baby on the way. Can barely Stan to be around her :( hope that this doesn't last long for me because I do not want to loose a friend over it but she neverrrrrrrr asks how I am doing (especially with dh being gone) or anything about me.

Feels like this journey is so long and isnt getting any easier.

Hope all of u are well.

Xoxo

hey there everyone

things have gotten a bit quiet lately and i think prayin said it all, that its getting very sad for a lot of us to come back and report nothing or worse!

not that I am here to say anything more! just waiting to be sure that i O'd (positive OPKs but no temp shift yet) then will just be waiting to test or start my period party!! and the official date I should be testing will be valentine's day! that is if i can wait till then which will be a no! but can u imagine, either result on that day when my DH will be at work! I may go nutz either way so have warned a friend to beware of my nuttiness!!

prayin - so sorry he is going. it might sound a bit insensitive but can he leave a donation behind for something like IUI? otherwise it toally sucks you have to wait 7 months! any chance of a conjugal visit from either him or you? If prisoners who do bad things can get them why cant brave soilders??!!

katiemay - anything after 12dpo? or has witchy witch been visiting? your immune system does depress slightly when implanation happens to allow it to happen so being sick might be a good sign! it was for me!

bug - didnt see your post, glad to see it went well with the doc! hope you can get some of those extra tests done soon and get all this behind you. hope your pawpaw is ok too. did you get resutls back from the tests she did do?

hope everyone else is going ok today

Ladies, I'm sorry I haven't been around. I'm lying low right now. Not much convo anyways on the site. Every forum I'm a part of is not hoping anymore.

I have bad news, Af showed up this morning after being a day late. I even had a temp rise yesterday morning after a drop and was really hoping AF would stay away. Guess I'm not a lucky one. Really, bummed out right now. Next Tuesday, I have my pelvic u/s and hoping it gives me some news. Still haven't heard about my B/W. I'll keep you ladies updated but as for now. I'm not going to be around much. My one year mark of TTC is coming up and I'm feeling really bummed out about it.

Hi Ladies

We had a wonderful time in Mexico. Unfortunately af showed half way through our trip. DH and I have decided to stop ttc. It has just caused us too many fights and stress.

I will still check in and keep in touch. I'll still be thinking of you bug, prayin and krunchie and hoping dreams come true :)

Sorry, katiemay, that you got Af during your trip and I'm sorry your not going to be TTC anymore but maybe it will happened when your not trying. Just think about your hubby and you and dreams will come true for you.

So, I never got back on Friday to let you ladies know what happened. Well, my docs office called me but I was out of cell service so by the time I got their message the office had already closed for the day. On Fridays, they close at 12. So, I had to wait till this morning to get my results. By the way, my Testosterone, and Thyroid are fine. Shock on the thyroid cause my dh swears its messed up, but I did have a high blood sugar so they say I'm pre-diabetic. So, I have to go see my family doctor which I don't have. So, I guess I'm going to find a diet I can follow that will help control this pre-diabetic levels.

Can't wait till my appointment tomorrow. It's not till 240pm so I'm going to be a nervous wreck all day tomorrow. Just hoping it will shed some lights on things tomorrow.

hey bug, that stuff i sent u on the low gi diet is supposed to be the best as its based on low slow release carbohydrates. my husband is typew 1 diabetic and is supposed to follow that style of diet but lately we have both been bad! now with the new house though, its time to turn over a new leaf!!!
what is your next appointment for? what will u find out then?

katiemay - that suck, sorry to hear that (but glad you had a good time!). maybe its time for some new dreams for you to focus on and just hope you have a silver lining to add to it later xx

Kaite, Thanks dear. I totally forgot about that till you mention it. I'm so glad you reminded me about that. I'm going to have to fish it out of my emails and print it now for real. Today's, appointment is a pelvic u/s. Basically, looking at my ovaries and tubes and uterus to see if there is anything abnormal and to discuss getting a referral for my DH's SA. We are going to do that before we shed the big bucks for a HSG for me. I think the problem will be my Dh. He doesn't think so but I do.

So, this cycle I hope to A, Get a BFP or B, know what's causing us to not get pregnant. Really hoping for A instead of B.

Good luck at your appt. Bug! Really hope it goes well.

Thanks Krunchie :) That is exactly it, definitely time to focus on some new dreams. There's a lot of projects I want to do with our house and yard this year so that will keep me busy for sure.

Amber, thank you! Good luck with good ole fashion baby making. Seems like that maybe just the trick you need.

Mariposa, Sorry your confused and I hope you get answers.

Nicole, I was so nervous at my appointment and in tears that I didn't even ask about my thyroid number. She went over them and said it was good but I didn't get much details. Thank you, My granny called me to confirmed that pawpaw is doing well and said she's glad its over.

Jacki, Glad your getting things done around the house and keeping busy. Fx'd you get a BFP.

Meghan, Yay, for nearing the end of your 2ww. I hope it brings you a Beautiful BFp.

Abs, looks like you are a working machine nowadays. I hope you and your dh find time to do some BDing. I don't have diabetes yet just pre-diabetic which means I could become diabetes if i don't start doing something about it. So, with that said. i'm not sure if it makes it hard to get pregnant when your diabetic or not but I do know you have to watch what you eat if you are pregnant. My sister had gestational diabetes with her first kid and basically had to stick to a strict diet.

Joy, xoxo

I don't even know where to begin.

U/S was done trans-vaginally and I got scared when I saw the tech typing in Fibroid. and Endo. Of course, I started crying, and the tech was like hunnie I have been in your shoes. I have one biological miracle and one adopted miracle. You will have a miracle, don't you worry. So, after seeing the tech for the u/s I had to wait for like 15 minutes to see Dr. H. While waiting in the waiting room. I had walked out and sat down of course I had been crying so my face was red and puffy and my eyes were watery. A Young teenager who was sitting behind me with her young grandmother and mother made a statement that made me so mad. She said, "Why am I the only cheerful pregnant lady in this waiting room? The others look so gloomy." It took every ounce of me to not turn around and say something rude to this chick. There was 3 other women in the room who was pregnant and I the only one not. I wanted to say, " NOT EVERYONE IS PREGNANT! I AM TRYING TO HAVE A BABY" Ugh. So, I was very grateful when they called me back into the room to see Dr. H. Well, Dr. H. say,s my ovaries look awesome, I don't have PCOS. My uterus looks great expect that I have a small 1.5x1.5 Fibroid on my posterior uterus wall. That she says will not effect anything unless when i do get pregnant my baby decided to attach itself to the fibroid instead of the Good tissue wall. So, Looks like I'm working correctly. She said she could have given me Metform since I'm pre-diabetic but since I don't have PCOS she said she doesn't recommend it. Of course, she said I could go on BC for 2 months and then more than likely get pregnant after being off cause she says your more fertile after being on BC. So, she says for me to get my DH SA done and if the HSG but she recommends us trying 6 more months if we don't get the other stuff done. "You are still young, she said to me" Of course, in my eyes I'm not so young anymore. Now I need to find a fertility specialist to check out the DH. It's crazy, Cause I cried when I had nothing wrong with me and I guess its because I always thought it was me. Now to see if the swimmers are swimming correctly. Next step.

Katiemay, Yay for fun projects around the house.
