Hey. I was just checking up on you. Is it time to test yet?? If not when? I am sending lots and lots and lots of baby dust your way!!

Hi Tera!

I test on either Friday or Saturday depending on which IUI you go by.

I prayin' for the BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thank you for checkin' on me!

You have to keep me posted. I am praying for you. Do you have any feelings?

Tera-

OK, I'll come clean. At first during this 2WW I thought, I'm not gonna sweat it, and I was doing relly good...not caring ya know? Then BAM!!!! On Thursday night/Friday I was so darn hungry...soup and cheese (just like last time) Boy! I could have eaten a pound of cheese (I actually ate a full 1/2 lb) and I was feeling very PG.. so I gave in and tested. I knew that the trigger would still be there...and it was, a very faint positive. And BAM!!!! I felt normal again on Sunday. So I tested again this morning and it was a BFN...I'm not upset 'cause I just figure the trigger is gone now. I'm still hopeful. All I can say is that IF I am PG this PG is VERY different from the last. Last time I was constantly tired and basically Blah. Now I feel wide awake, full of evergy. I actually feel better thn I have since I started the IF treatments. Maybe it's just because it's injects, not Clomid....All I know is I FEEL GREAT BFP or no!!!

WOW! I guess I need to get that out. I felt so guilty testing and all :)

How are you feeling? It must be awesome to PG and feel them move. I'm sorry but I forget if your having a boy or a girl? Tell me about it girl :) I'm so excited for you!!

D :wave:

now you have me nervous!!!!!!!! I will be looking for your post this weekend....
I am praying for the BFP!

BTW, The PG test I took yesterday morning was a BFN within 5 min but when I got home from work last night it was a faint positive. Anyone know how long the darn trigger stays in the system???

Doreen :wave:

Hey Doreen,
It stays in your system for 12-14 days .
I HOPE YOU ARE REALLY BFP!!!

Hey Doreen! I am doing pretty good. I found out last Tues that we are having a girl. We are very excited but a little nervous all at the same time. I don’t know if you have read on any of my past or not but this is actually my 4th pregnancy. I lost my first at 7 months and it was a girl. I then had a m/c at 6-7 weeks. And then had my son in 2003. I was told I may have to do fertility drugs to get pregnant due to PCOS. My first pregnancy resulted at my 6 wk follow up from a surgery for the PCOS. I was 5wks pregnant. The surgery unblocked everything and let my eggs pass thru. I stay on birth control until I decided I wanted to try again after losing my daughter and was on my last month of trying by ourselves when I found out I was prego again. The third time I got off my pills and never had another AF show up. This time I got off the pills and had 2 AFs before the BFP. I don’t want you to get discouraged or ever think about giving up b/c I know that your BFP is right around the corner. I have actually been following you since the beginning of the year but didn’t know how to approach you. I know how hard it is to see all these other people pregnant when you want a baby so bad. I don’t want to offend you in any way so I don’t talk about my pregnancy to you much. That may offend you even worse. See! I am all beside myself thinking I have hurt your feeling and can’t stop rambling on! I’m sorry.

As far as the trigger shot, I am not sure how long it last. When did you have it? I read another post that said 12-14 days. I am sooo hoping it is out of your system and you get that BFP this week. BTW, when I tested with this pregnancy the line was so faint I thought it was a BFN and was about to throw it away when I looked one last time really close with it in the light and saw the line. I actually said out loud “I knew it was going to be positive”. As excited as I am I know you are!!

Sadend- Thank you for the info on the trigger!!

DH- You lurker you!! :D I'm nervous too....God I hope this is it... I can't stand the 2WW

Ns-A Girl!!! That's great!!!! Do you have any names picked out yet? I bet your estatic!!!!

I'm sooooo sorry about your experiences, but you are apparently a very strong woman to still be in the IF game.. Two big thumbs up to you!!!! :bouncing: :bouncing:

No, please don't be afraid of posting about your PG...It brings a smile and hope to me. AND I'm glad that you have finally posted. The only cool thing I can say about this IF cr*p is that you can NEVER have too many friends for support!!!


I'm sure the trigger is/was still in my system so I AM NOT GOING TO TEST ( do you think if I said that enough I might actually NOT test ;) ) I'll test again on Sat if the witch doesn't show and probably have a beta on Mon or Tues.

I hope this is it and it's a sticky bean too! Lord knows I hate the progesterone now... BUT...the injects were sooooooo much better than clomid

Keep in touch

D

OH! I just can't hardly wait. I hope this will be the last 2WW you have to go thru!! We are all praying for you and sending losts of baby dust your way.

I have thought about Kalley as the first name. Not sure on the middle name but Marie keeps popping in my head (after my grandmother).

Oh I can not wait to hear the results...

Girls, I think AF is coming to get me That WITCH!! I woke this morning and I'm having cramping in my ovaries. I've been checking to see if she's here all day...it sure feels like it. I guess no matter how much I beg her not to come she's just going to do what she wants regardless....ugh I'm STILL hoping but I don't think this will be my month :(

Oh D! Don't you give up! I hope she isn't coming. Just keep in mind if she rears ugly head you will ovulate again in a couple of weeks. I know it may not sound encouraging but I want to. Do you mind me asking how old you are and how long you have been trying?

Hey Doreen,
I Hope that AF doesnt show I am praying for you .
I hate the feeling that AF is coming .But if that nasty af shows you will have next month .Dont give up or lose hope .
IT AINT OVER TILL THE AF SHOWS.

Thanks girls,

I know it isn't over until it's over.. AND I am still hopeful. Just give me the strength not to test again!!!!!! :)

Hey Doreen,
Be strond and take a pg test so evrey pain wont drive you nuts.
If its BFP then YAY and if its BFN then you have next cycle to look forward too.
That is the way I always look at it.
You are going in the right direction ,seeing an RE its bound to work .
BE Strond and stay posotive

Hi girls,

The news is AF arrived this morning. I just KNEW it. Ofcourse she came when I wiped AFTER the PG test, and I went for the more expensive digital ones...UGH :(
Doreen

Hey hun. Don't you give up. I hate to hear that she showed up. Since her unfornuate appearance when will you get to do the IUI again?

Hey ,
I am so sorry that af arrived, Please dont be down , There is always next month.You are going in the right direction.
STAY STRONG,BFP is bound to come soon!!

at least we know that with the injectables you don't have s/e........ now it's going to be all steam ahead next month!

I'm working on being upbeat and positive, but it is defiantely getting harder each month. BUT I definatley agree...If I had to stay on the clomid with all the s/e I wouldn't have lasted this long. So INJECTS have been a Godsend! Now if only I can get a sticky bean!!

Thank you girls for al of your support. I've really needed it. For some reason this BFN really got me down....but once your down, the only way to go it up right? :)

D

HI D.
I responed in the other thread but I just wanted to let you know I understand. It's hard to be upbeat hey? How many more months can go by where we get disappointed? I tell myself no more..i can't deal with the sadness..but a few days pass and I'm ready to try again.
I think of you often and the others that I've met here!
I went back to the "other-pregnancy" boards and saw that a few of the people that were here also were there. Like i said I hope everyone is doing ok!
S. :)

Hey D. I saw you still haven't been feeling well. I hope you are better. How is that nasty cough? When can you test? I am so anxious!!

Hi Tera,

I've been in the hospital with a pheunmonia (s/P) Finally staerting to feel better.

Test day is the 6th...but I'm actually afraid to be PG as sick as I've been. I think the doc used all "safe" medicattions though.

How have you been feeling? Doing your nursery? I feel terrible that you always ask about me...but don't really tell me about your PG....I am VERY happy for you so please don't be afraid to share :)

D

i am so sorry to hear how sick you have been.. i hope that you are at home taking care of yourself! just rest. keep those feet up and just relax.

Hey D. I was getting so worried about you. I hope you are feeling better. Being sick really bites! Take it easy and don’t overdo it or you will relapse. I can’t believe test day is Monday. I know it scary thinking about all those meds with the possibility of being pregnant but I am sure your doc was very cautious about everything.

Okay. I don’t mean to make you feel bad so I will fill you in on where I am. I go back to the DR today and will be 25wks Sat. I am entering that very crucial moment during my pregnancy that scares me to death. This is around the time I lost my first little girl so I am starting to freak out a little. I try to stay positive but I get so nervous. As far as the nursery. I got the room cleaned out that is going to be the nursery but I have 1 more piece of exercise equipment that I need to sale then after the holidays are over I am going to start working on the nursery. I am using the Noah’s Ark that I used with my little boy. I don’t plan on buying new stuff since we don’t plan on having any more children. I have found a changing table at Wal-Mart that I really like that has a dresser attached to it and a little closet but I am going to have to wait until after Christmas to get it. I think I have it all under control as far as the decorating but this poor little thing doesn’t have any clothes. I have a few outfits I could use for her that were my son’s but not very many. I am worried about the money situation with the diapers. I am going to start stocking up on those after the first of the year also. I also use Playtex bottles so I am going to stock up on liners and nipples after the first of the year. I am not having a shower with this baby so it is pretty much up to me to get everything together. But I will make it.

So how are you feeling now?

Hi there girls... I am new here and it seems to be a family all in its self...I kind of feel weird even sending a reply since i am sooo new to this site...but i have been reading on the site for several days now and I am so wrapped up in everyones life...I have been ttc for over 2 years now... and i have never gone to a doctor or injections or anything like that YET... i have had two m/c and so im still hopefull that i can get pg...but i took a hpt this morning and it was a BFN.... :confused: ... but im not giving up on being a mom...by the way im 23 years old...ill be 24 on the 13th, so even though me and my dh have been tring for 2 years to carry a baby to full term, im not going to give up...hope im welcome to chat with you guys... you really encourage each other so much i just really wanna be a part of this wonderful site...
....marie....

DH- Yes, I'm home eating my chicken soup!!! Thank you for your warm wishes!

Tera-

yup, I'm not really hoping for a BFP this month..Imagine that!!!

How did your appointment go today? How's your lil one? I hope that it eased your fears a bit...I don't blame you for feeling anxious! I can't even think about how I'll feel if I get PG after my m/c. :(

I hear you about not purchasing all new stuff. I have tons of stuff from my SIl and sister's kids in my attic waiting for that BFP to use them!

It sounds as if you are planning very wisely, especially when money is tight. Becareful on buying too much in one size...they grow so fast. I swear you blink and they have grown an inch!!

I am feeling pretty good today..but as you said i don't want ot over-due, I'm afraid of relapse and I never-ever want to be that sick ever again!!!!

Keep me posted

Finally-Marie- :wave: Welcome!! and you are more than welcome to pop in on any thread that I am on :) BUT I do hope that you stay here is short and sweet!!! I'm very sorry to hear about your m/c's. I know how awful the experience is. We're you being followed by a doc during the PG? Do you know why you m/c? I m/c because my little bean had an extra thread of chromosomes-- so it will not increase my chance for another m/c. Hopeully you will get a sticky BFP soon!!!
Sorry about the BFN. I test on Monday-- but I really don't want to be PG this month. If i had only known it wasn't the Flu BEFORE the IUI's ugh!

Well I gotta go and relax some more (if it's possible I'm going stir crazy!!!

Talk to you all soon!!
doreen

Hi D... my first m/c came when i was 6 weeks along...so i didnt go the the doc yet...my appointment was for 2 weeks after my m/c...then my second m/c came when i was 4 weeks pg...and i didnt know i was pg...i thought i was, but i was holding off on checking...then the next day i m/c....i was sooooooooo bummed...but that was 8 months ago...and i havent gotten to get pg again and my doc doesnt seem to know why i m/c just wasnt a very stong bean i guess... anyhow have a good night..................meeeee

Hello. Well my appt went okay. My blood pressure is starting to creep up so I figure bed rest will be in the near future. It was 147/95. Not good and seeing as how it went down to 118/84 when I laid down for about 10 minutes I don’t see him letting me go very much longer. My little girl is doing just fine though. I go back on the 14th for the glucose test and an ultrasound. Also another blood pressure check.

D ~ I am glad you are feeling better. Was you in the hospital over Thanksgiving??

Marie ~ Welcome. I am sorry to hear about your m/c’s. I can’t say I know what a struggle the infertility is but I sympathize with everyone with all my heart. I can’t imagine the hurt and pain you feel every month that AF shows up. I know in my heart everyone will be celebrating before long. I pray for everyone everyday and know that there is something good in store for you up ahead.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

~Nutshell...thanks for the warm wishes...i could really use all the encouragement.

~Question for all: do you think prog. cream could help me at all?

~D...i cant wait to see how your hpt turns out on Monday...i will be thinking of you this weekend and praying for the best...

~Have a good weekend everyone...

^^^^^^marie^^^^^^ :wave:

Hi girls...My HPT was a BFN...not too upset because i was so sick

Marie- I think that with monitoring the doc will be able to assist you in whether or not prog. will work for you. Since you've M/C so early it could be a problem, but without b/w there is no way of knowing.

Tera, I'm glad that your appointment went well (little bean wise.) Are you prepared for bedrest? I hope so. Take it easy and nuiture that lil bean!!!

D

Hey D. Well I am glad you are okay with the BFN. I know it would have been scary to think about being pregnant with all those meds you had to take. I wish you luck next time around.

I am prepared for bedrest. I see it in the near future and figured it would be around this time so I have prepared. It is just hard to think about it when I have a 21 month old. I will make it though. I just have to think about what is best and I know at this point in time bedrest would be best. Even with being home all weekend my blood pressure was still high and all I did was lay around.
