TTCAL 10/31 check in

TScalei

Happy Halloween!

1.) Introduce yourself (if you're new)

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc)

3.) Rants/ Raves

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?

rainbowturtles

2) TWW, 8dpo

3) Had a horrible weekend and burned the fingers on my right hand quite badly last night and the pain was incredible for hours and hours. Not looking forward to the healing process. It's also my EDD tomorrow. Trying to think of something to do to honor it.

4) Right now I want to go back to Puerto Vallarta and just lie on the beach and hopefully need to drink Virgin Margaritas 

Mack2342

2.  WTO

3.  CD 17,   I had a positive O test a few days back which was a bit early so I'm hoping I get another one in the next day or so.  It's only the 2nd cycle since d & c so I'm hoping my body regulates soon

4.   I would like to go back to Curaçao.  It's so beautiful and relaxing!  

@rainbowturtles; will be thinking of you tomorrow.  

roxgibbons

2. TWW 9 or 10 DPO

3. Have a long day ahead of me work wise and of course it started off by not having any hot water in the shower. WTF is up with that? I'm freezing!! I have acupuncture tonight so I'm looking forward to that and decompressing. 

4. I went to Paris once and is love to go back with DH so we can walk all over the city and explore together. I also want to go see Moulin Rouge. Currently though, I'm with @rainbowturtles a beach sounds really nice. I'd love to be back on the beach in Kauai with a tropical drink. 

@rainbowturtles sorry about burning yourself! That's terrible- hope you have a quick recovery. I'm sorry about the upcoming EDD. That's so hard- take extra good care of yourself. 

Taggarab

2) TWW, 3 DPO
3) I have finally started to be more open about my ectopic and my feelings about how I should have a newborn right now. It feels good and bad at the same time. Good because I am not holding it in, but bad because I am not a public crier and I cry every time I talk about it. I keep hoping month after month that it will finally be our time and am really working on accepting that I am doing all I can right now.
4) I would love to go back to Australia. I learned to surf while there and would love to get back on the (very small) waves 

Taggarab

@rainbowturtles I will be sending lots of non creepy internet hugs tomorrow. I was there last month. 

mylittleversailles

2.) TWW, 4 DPO

3.) I don't know why but I always fall asleep before ten and wake up before six once the days get shorter. This is both my rant and my rave, ha, not especially chatty lately.

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?

Umm, I'd like to go back to New York City with DH because he's never been, but also not particularly interested in travelling. I think one year for Christmas we'll go. 

weareturtles

1) See siggy...

2) TWW - 11 DPO.
3) Trying to figure out when to go in for my next HCG check since 2 weeks ago I was at 26 (and moving very slowly) and I haven't had a negative HPT since then. They are all faint positives, so I cannot even POAS to help me figure out if I am KU. ...AND to make it more complicated, I haven't seen AF since my MC, over 12 weeks ago. So I can't tell from a HPT if I am KU and I can't guarantee that missing AF will mean anything either. Limbo. That's where I am. Limbo.

On a potentially positive note, I had a big dip on 9DPO, followed by a rise on 10DPO and it's continuing to go up, to a new record high temp (I'm not sick). Perhaps that means something, perhaps not. Like I said, I'm in limbo.

4) Galapagos Islands - I want to go back to scuba dive!

TScalei

@rainbowturtles - Im sorry for the EDD tmrw - I will be thinking of you. I agree with you a beach vacation sounds perfect right about now.
@roxigibbons - Paris is my top place to go someday - what was your favorite part of the city?
@taggarab - I know, I feel like being open is good bec at least its out there but then its hard bec I can get so emotional talking about it sometimes. DH really wants to go to Australia - but the flight kind of intimidates me. lol
@reneeannemm _ I love NYC at Christmastime!
@weareturtles - Im sorry you are in limbo it really just sucks.

AFM
2.) 6 DPO

3.) Few mini rants:
My barre teacher just announced her pg on fb last night ( how come now matter how many pg announcements you see it just never gets easier) it just sucks bec going to barre after work was always my distraction and safe space and now there are a bunch of people pg there and I just don't really want to go and hear people talk about their pregnancies. It definitely put me in a "everybody is pg except me" mood.
Mixed feelings about being in the TWW and testing this upcoming weekend -Ive been feeling so good emotionally lately and I feel like no matter what that will probably change either way. Obviously I would rather it be bec of a BFP but I know that will bring complicated feelings too.

4.) I would love to go back to Ireland with DH since he has never been and I would love to go to Northern Ireland this time and explore there and see where they film some of Game of Thrones.

brooklyngirl18

@rainbowturtles I'm so sorry about the burn, that's awful! I've used Silvadene on burns in the past and it helped tremendously. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow  
@Mack2342 fx your cycle regulates soon, I know the waiting is brutal.
@roxgibbons when do you plan on testing?? I would LOVE to go back to Paris.
@taggarab I so often find myself relating to what you post 100%. I'm glad you've been opening up more but totally understand how scary it is at the same time. FX this is your month!
@reneeannemm I live in NYC, well just outside but I grew up in Brooklyn. If you do come back I have loads of recommendations if you want
@weareturtles  I'm sorry you're in limbo, I hope you get answers soon.

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc)- TWW finally. 1DPO I think

3.) Rants/ Raves- I've been ranting all month about my cycle and I'm still at it today lol. I finally ovulated yesterday, CD 23. I usually O cd 18-19 ish and now I'm paranoid if I get ku that it'll be a bad egg. the bsc never stops. at least I have an RE appointment in 2 weeks to look forward to.  

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there? I would love to go back to Mexico. Me and DH went there on our honeymoon and it was perfect. We said we would go back for our 5 year anniversary, next october, but that seems unlikely now with ttc plans. 

RiverSong15

@rainbowturtles. I'm so sorry. Burns are incredibly painful! Hopefully you are feeling better this morning.

@Mack2342 Is it possible you did O early? Are you temping too? All bets are off as far as cycle predictability after a MC, unfortunately.

@reneeannemm I think it has something to do with circadian rhythms. I find myself wanting to go to bed earlier too. Also, you should know that I have pumpkin risotto waiting in the fridge for lunch because of your post last week.... Just had to have some!  Also, my H lived in NYC for 7 years and I lived there for 2... Love the city at Christmas.

@Taggarab I'm sorry you're feeling so down. Hugs. 

@weareturtles Sorry for limbo... Limbo sucks! Hopefully you can figure out what's going on in a few days, since you are charting and know where you are in your cycle. Also, I've never met someone else who has been to the Galapagos! Such an amazing place - which islands did you visit?

@TScalei Hugs for all the PG announcements. 

@brooklyngirl18 Yay for O! I wouldn't worry too much about egg quality. There are plenty of women with really long cycles that end up with perfectly healthy pregnancies. I know, easier said than done, right? GL at your RE appointment!

2. In the TWW of my (hopefully) last benched cycle. We see the RE in 2 weeks, and unless she says anything against it, I think we'll try naturally one more time. 

3. Going to an RE feels kind of surreal. I never thought we'd end up here, especially for RPL. Before TTC, I worried about IF - never about a MC. Life is a fan of irony, isn't it?  Beyond that, we found a flea on my dog this weekend. Our vet neglected to tell us that his flea/tick medication only prevents fleas from reproducing, but doesn't kill the adults! We had to get a separate medicine for that and then deep clean the hell out of the apartment. Not exactly the relaxing weekend H and I were looking for.

4. Ooooooh! I love traveling. So many places I'd like to go back to so my H can see them - Japan comes to mind. But after reading everyone's responses, I think a beach in Maui with a Mai Tai sounds perfect right now, given that it's almost 8 and still pitch dark outside...


ETA: I just realized my second EDD is this week. With all the hustle and bustle this weekend, I got distracted. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about it. A close work colleague just had his baby last week too. That means I now have two coworkers who had their babies on or very close to both of my due dates. FU, universe. 

brooklyngirl18

@RiverSong15 definitely easier said than done lol! sorry about your dog and cleaning the apartment, that sucks so bad. My in laws dog got fleas this summer and it was a nightmare cleaning everything over and over again.
@TScalei sorry about all the announcements and now even in your safe place. lots of fx for you!

stephann85

1.) see siggy

2.) Status - TWW 10 dpo

3.) Rants - the BSCs got the best of me this weekend. Tried to keep myself occupied by crocheting and canvas painting, only helped a little bit. DH has been kind of a jerk about finances, when in reality he hasn't been working as much since the spring because where he works they are slower in the warm months. But I haven't said anything to him because I know it can be a sore subject. I think it is already harder for him because I make more. 
Raves- DH has been coaching High School football and they surprisingly made it to the 2nd week of playoffs. And I know this might sound horrible of me but they lost their last game and I'm OK with it. now maybe I can get my DH back. he spent a lot of time on it, watching film and such. Just realized this sounds more like a rant than a rave... sorry.

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?
I would love to go back to Las Vegas. I would take in more shows and visit more of the hotels because they are all so different. First time around we got married, so much of our time was spent doing that and meeting with the pastor and everything. We did get to the Hoover Dame but I would also like to see the Grand Canyon.

NewMommyCoop

@rainbowturtles Och! Burns are the worst. I hope it heals quickly. Sorry about the EDD tomorrow. Indulge and spoil yourself.

@roxgibbons I hate cold showers! Hopefully it is fixed soon.

@taggarab Australia is top on my list of places I want to go.

@weareturtles That is so frustrating. I hope your cycle gets back on track soon.

@tscalei I feel the same way lately. At the high school football game Friday night, I saw at least three pregnant women, of course, one sitting right in front of us. They have a two year old and she has perfect PG belly and eating hotdogs. I was in such a foul mood.

@brooklyngirl18 Yay for O!!!

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc) TWW 3 or 4 dpo

3.) Rants/ Raves Rave - DH actually helped me put up some Halloween decorations last night, a little late, but hey, progress (he hates Halloween, I love it).  Also, found these really cool lanterns at Ikea for super cheap for a Christmas decoration I want to make at the girls craft party in two weeks.

Rant - My SD told me that her mom is moving back to our area. UGH. It has been so peaceful; now drama times 1000 will start again!

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?
Oh so many places. Korea; Hawaii; Cape Verde; Portugal; Kelowna, BC; D.C. - DH has never been to these places, so I would like us to go together. Also, there are so many places I have not been, so it's hard to decide if we go someplace I have been but DH hasn't or if we go somewhere neither of us has been. So many places, so little time... and money!

Mack2342

@RiverSong15   I don't temp.  Never have.   My sleep is crazy.  I get up a bunch during the night.  I know my body can be off so I guess it's possible I O'd early.  Time will tell.   

RiverSong15

@brooklyngirl18 No kidding on the cleaning! I'm hoping since my dog was on the one preventative, that it won't be too bad to control. Theoretically, any adult fleas he brought inside shouldn't be able to reproduce. And now he's on a med that kills the adults too. I'm hoping a week or so of vacuuming takes care of it. 

@NewMommyCoop Korea! That must have been really interesting to visit. And I definitely agree... So many place and so little money/time!

szwill86

@rainbowturtles I'll be thinking of you tomorrow on your EDD 

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc)
Am I the only one who is on WTO island over here? Haha CD 12, had some EWCM this morning but a neg OPK. Will test when I get home but I'll be sure to HIO the next few days. 

3.) Rants/ Raves
Rave: I got to spend the whole weekend on a short, local trip with my H, just us and the dogs. It was nice to have no set plans/people we had to see. 

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?
I would go back to Hawaii if it wasn't for the long flight. 13 hours traveling is too much for me. 

justsuzie

Happy Halloween!

@rainbowturtles Oh no, ouch!  Hope you feel better.  At least the hand doesn't play too much into ttc 

@Mack2342   After seeing Curaçao on the Bachelor a few years back I have that destination on my bucket list!

@roxgibbons At least long work weeks help the time fly by!

@Taggarab I hear yah.  I told my friend on Saturday and balled at the dog park.  The dogs were staring at me like I was crazy!  Tears are good, they help heal. 

@TScalei I'm sorry that your safe place is now bombarded with pg.  Maybe don't test at all this tww and wait until AF is late?  That way you can ride your emotional high. 

@brooklyngirl18 Don't over analyze the O.  Be happy for it.  Congrats.

@RiverSong15 Glad you were able to be distracted. And I hope the RE hleps ease your worries a bit more.  Good luck ttc naturally next cycle. 

@stephann85 It seems like the older I get the more I want to visit touristy places.  I never appreciated them as a kid. I totally want to revisit the grand canyon.

@NewMommyCoop Ugh for the drama.  I have learned that if there is one thing I don't need in my life I feel like it's drama.  It affects every other aspect of my being when I am entangled in it.  Sending positive no-drama vibes your way.

2.) Status Benched.  Hcg still in teh 2500's

3.) This weekend I am going out with 3 of my fave girlfriends.  Since I can't ttc yet, we plan on going wine tasting, see a movie, and then go out.  I haven't had a sip of alcohol since August.  Something to look forward to! (finally)  I won't look forward to the inevitable hangover I will be nursing on Sunday.  Chinese takeout and bad movies her I come. 

4.) GTKY - 
Would love to go back to Vieques off the coast of Puerto Rico.  There is a BioBay where you can see glowing trails behind the marine life as they swim by. So cool!  I plan to go back in February for a girls trip.  
I would love to explore Hawaii. It is so far, and so expensive so we plan to take a "babymoon" there once we are KU!

migdala

@rainbowturtles and @RiverSong15 Sorry about your EDDs, that must be so hard.  I hope you're both able to do something nice for yourselves this week.

2) WTO, but I got a solid smiley last night and this morning, so just waiting for the temp rise now.

3) Rant:  DH and I are fighting but he keeps insinuating that it's all in my head and he's ready to reconcile as soon as I'm able to unwind myself from my defensive ball and reach out to him.  But I try to talk to him and I'm met with defensiveness and anger.  It's over a couple of stupid things ... he donated a nominal amount of money to a political candidate and didn't tell me about it, and he called my therapist to ask about why she doesn't take insurance and he didn't tell me about that either.  Plus we had a conversation about finances and I felt like it was all about how I spend too much, but he's the one who pumps thousands of dollars into real estate projects that don't always work out.  I just feel very distant from him but when I tell him this he says he doesn't know what to do with that information so he's just giving me space and time to get over it in my own head.  I worry that he doesn't understand how I work, because letting me stew on something makes me MORE angry and alienated, not less.  And to top it all off, I'm about to O.  So it would've been really great if we were in a place to have loving, let's-make-a-baby sex, instead of the unemotional TTC sex we had last night.  I'm so bummed, you guys.

4) I'd love to go back to Paris.  It's been way too long.  I'd like to just walk around and eat all the yummy things.

TScalei

@Riversong15 - I know going to see the RE was kind of surreal for me too I just could not believe we ended up there. It felt like such a long way from when we started ttc and I never thought I would be there for RPL either. Hope you get some answers though. Im sorry about the upcoming EDD.
@stephann85 - I love Vegas! We went last year and saw the Beatles Cirque du Soliel...I feel like you could go there every year and never run out of new restaurants or shows.
@newmommycoop - Im sorry about SD's mom - Im sure you don't need anymore drama now.
@justsuzie - Vieques sounds amazing!
@migdala _ im sorry for the trouble with DH - its hard when you feel like they just don't understand you and for me all the ttcal emotions just make things worse. Fx this will get better!

rainbowturtles

@RiverSong15 we are in flea hell, too! We ended up shaving our husky this weekend. Her hair is just so long and thick it was impossible to see what was going on. Poor girl The worst is over but it's been exhausting 

Thank you for everyone's kindness

edited because words are hard, apparently 

flipflopped

@rainbowturtles Burns are the worst Do you use essential oils? Lavendar fixes burns like magic!! I haven't hit my EDD, so I don't have advice. Just hugs!

@Taggarab I'm in the same boat of working towards acceptance. Definitely a challenge!!

@weareturles Hopefully limbo turns to a clear answer. The mental exhaustion of limbo often makes me wish for an answer. I always say I don't care, I just want an answer. Obviously I want a BFP, but at times anything seems better than limbo.

@RiverSong15 I hear you on IF and never MC. Best wishes for an easy time with the RE!

@migdala Take good care of youself. That is a lot going on!!

Totally envious of some of the vacation spots!!

1.) TTC#2 with 1MC

2.) TWW a few days past O (no temping or OPKs) Goal is no testing before 11/7

3.) Crazy busy morning which is good for a Monday, but some really weird things. Hope it isn't predicitive of the week to come!! Looking forward to seeing all the kids for TOT tonite!!

4.) New Orleans - first vacation with DH when we were dating. Such an easy city to get around and great food. Four days was just not enough!!

NewMommyCoop

So, is anybody else hooked on playing the Halloween game on Google today?

Edited - spelling

laeberge3

2.) WTO, CD 21. OPKs are darkening so O should be this week. @szwill86 I'm WTO still, too - but we are lonely, it seems!  GL to everyone in the TWW.

3.) Rants/ Raves:  Rant: It's like 79 degrees and almost November.  Rave: my mediation concluded early today so more time to finish other projects.  My work schedule for next week through Thanksgiving is looking to be crazy, so I'm glad to have a little more time this week.

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have traveled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?  San Francisco and NoCal.  I went when I was 17, so I'd like to go back and experience the city and wine country as a 21+(+) adult. 

@stephann85 Glad your DH's team made it a second week! I hear you though, on being happy to have him back.  My DH's team lost in the first round of playoffs so we were able to actually spend time together on Friday, and it was nice. 

@migdala Sorry about the fight with DH.  Hopefully you'll be able to work through it soon. I also stew and get more angry if I have too much space and not enough discussion. 

@rainbowturtles @RiverSong15 Sorry about the EDDs.  Take care of yourselves. 

jwg9101

1.) Jennifer - new-ish

2.) TWW 9 dpIUI - not BSC yet, but I feel it creeping in. My DH today texted that he thinks I'm pregnant. That turned the pressure way up for some weird reason - like I don't want to disappoint him??? Oh yeah BSC for sure.

3.) Rave - today is Halloween and I LOVE Halloween! Looking forward to Trick or Treaters that we will ooh and ahh over! 

4.) GTKY - I'd love to go back to Hawaii right now. I would give a whole lot to be on a beach watching the waves or on a boat right now.

RiverSong15

@rainbowturtles I can't even imagine shaving a husky!!! I'm glad the worst is over for you. 

@NewMommyCoop Yes!!! Five minutes of downtime at work? Hmmmm... Let me see if I can beat my score... Lol.

@jwg9101 FX for this IUI! I hope this week brings you good news!

NewMommyCoop

@RiverSong15 LOL, it is so addicting. Not much going on at work today, or at least I'm ignoring it very well.

justsuzie

@migdala Finances are the only thing my DH and I argue about.  We decided to keep separate bank accounts and one together and not even comment on how the other spends.  I like to spend on experiences and he spends on crap.  It sucks that you aren't on the same page about how to solve a problem.  That must be difficult.  Someone said to me once, is it better to be right? or is it better to be happy?  (Best advice I've ever taken.) I let everything my DH does that I wouldn't  the way he does it, roll off my shoulders because we both always think we are right, and nobody wins.  Good luck to you with solving this problem.

@laeberge3 Crazy work weeks will make time go by quickly, especially during the ttw, which I hope you move onto soon!

jwg9101

OMG the Google Halloween game is SO fun!!! Thanks for suggesting it! I realllly wish I had tried it this morning! I could have wasted all day playing it!

amberruka

@szwill86 I'm here with ya on WTO island...the tribe has spoken! Should get back from my work trip next weekend (South Carolina) before FWW starts.
@rainbowturtles and @Riversong15 sorry about the EDD's. Thinking of you.

2. CD5, WTO. AF is taking forever. Weird what the body does.

3. R/R: Rave. **this might be TW? I'm not sure*** I started Season 5 of Six Feet Under (I know it came out about 10 years ago but whatever) and I really appreciate how they handled Brenda's MC while AMA. Her hallucinations are what we all think at times...."look at her, she didn't have any trouble staying PG. It's all your fault. Look at her, she doesn't even know yet. Twins in June!" etc. **end TW**

4. GTKY. Estonia! I spent all of 3 hours there on a trip to Iceland/Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark in 2009, in which we spent 3-4 days in each country. So much more Russian than European, wish I had more time to explore....one day ;-)

laeberge3

@NewMommyCoop OMgoodness, that game is so addicting!

migdala

@justsuzie I like that "is it better to be right or happy" quote.  My mom used to tell us "you can be right and still be wrong" when us siblings would be too harsh on one another.  I should remember that more.  We worked it out after an hour on the phone while I was at work today ... I know I'm not great with money but I feel like he doesn't understand that it just takes so much more money to be a woman than it does to be a man!  My MIL never spends any money on herself (seriously, she didn't get her hair professionally cut until right before our wedding) so I feel like growing up he got a skewed vision of how much everything costs.  But I know I should do better.  Ugh, being an adult is hard sometimes.

artemis618

@migdala - I'm glad you were able to work things out with your DH.  We've only been married four months and I anticipate similar differences with my DH as MIL is also very thrifty/low maintenance and I...did not grow up that way so much.

1.) Introduce yourself (if you're new). - New this month after natural mc on 10/1, ttc #1.

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc) - WTO (CD1 - first AL)

3.) Rants/ Raves - Can I whine?  Sitting at the airport in Maui after a long weekend here waiting to go home and back to reality...and CD1 - although thankfully none of the usual cramps/aches just yet. Also totally over this hormone-related acne.   But maybe a good thing that I was out of the office around Halloween to keep me from eating all the candy.

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?  The Cinque Terre - just to lounge and eat with DH.

kiki75

1.) Introduce yourself (if you're new) - Newish. MMC 8/16

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc) WTO

3.) Rants/ Raves I'm usually pretty good with being home alone but holidays kind of get to me. I'm bummed out and lonely at the thought of spending Halloween home alone. And even though our neighborhood is pretty good, and I have a dog, it creeps me out a little to answer the door to bunches of strangers in costumes.

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there? Brazil. We went to this tiny little down that had a bunch of hiking and natural swimming holes and waterfalls and everything. It was beautiful and fun and the food was good and the company was great.

Hopefulmommy1980

Status benched. 

Rant/raves:  I am just feeling really tired. I have been working a lot of extra hours. Just felt really grumpy and crabby lately. Just really stressed. I need to make sure I do more self care. 

Gtky: I would love to go back to Colorado Springs. I loved seeing the mountains. It was so pretty. 

Hugs go to all you ladies. I read all the post in this threads. Big hugs to all the ladies with edd coming up. Mine from my first loss is November 3. Makes me sad. Hopefully we all get our rainbow babies soon

MooFish2364

1.) Introduce yourself (if you're new)

Not new. Cycle 8 after loss. 

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc)

WTO 

3.) Rants/ Raves

Rant & rave today...I had my HSG yesterday and it went really well. I did have cramping and pressure but it went away right after the test was done. Not the horror story situation that I read about online. Rant...when I wasn't having scans during my BO I specifically asked the technician and my midwife if I had a retroverted uterus and she plainly said "no."  After my HSG yesterday the doctor clearly showed me my retroverted uterus that is also way to the left of my pelvic area. 

4.) GTKY - where is someplace that you have travelled to that you would like to go back too and what would you like to do there?

i would love to go back to my honeymoon in Rivera Maya....but I would also love to go back to Costa Rica. I went just breiefly while on a cruise years ago she wish I would have had more time to spend there. It is a beautiful country. 

NewMommyCoop

@artemis618 Glad Hawaii was a nice distraction. I love it there and am looking forward to going back (possibly next year). I have been three times, but only to Oahu and The Big Island. At least AF came at the end of your trip.

@Kiki75 Sorry you are feeling bummed. I hope last night wasn't terrible for you.

@Hopefulmommy1980 We went to Colorado Springs in mid October. It is so beautiful. We would like to go back as do more hiking. Sending hugs; do something nice for yourself.

@MooFish2364 Glad your HSG went well. So frustrating that you were told bad information. I am not familiar with retroverted uterus - will the knowledge help with future pregnancies?

MooFish2364

@NewMommyCoop - from the little bit of research I did it doesn't appear to really effect your fertility. The doctor who did my HSG (not my regular doctor) said it just might take longer or more trying. He didn't seem concerned though. He just said not ever women is the same. I am going to check in with my regular OB in a day or so once they've had time to get my results. I did read that different positions are better during sex to help get sperm where they need to go. DH will be glad to hear that doggy style is the best for it ;-)

NewMommyCoop

LMAO @MooFish2364 - My DH would be thrilled to hear that!
I guess it's good that fertility isn't affected. Hopefully position is all it takes.

NewMommyCoop

I said I would post a picture of the Halloween wreath we made. I think it turned out pretty cute.

mylittleversailles

@MooFish2364 No kidding - samesies on the retroverted uterus. None of the endless internal ultrasound techs made a note of it, but my doctor told me during a routine pap. Though, I can't do doggy at all, as it hits my cervix and/or uterus which hurts so much I fall down. No one told me it might take longer to get KU, though (9 cycles after loss later you might say that's true). We mix up the positions because depending on how close to O I am, my cervix seems to be more in the way. I think it just hangs lower than average?
