March Waiting to O....

TScalei

Yay for AF @ mimoca - and glad to see you back!

@justsuzie- Ive seriously mistaken gas pains for everything!! LOL I really think the mind is so powerful and we can convince ourselves we have everything and also the human body is just weird.

justsuzie

@MimoCa Glad you are here!  One wait to another ugh! Good luck. 

justsuzie

@hdaley I always get crampy and gassy on O day. I always assumed it was just a coincidence. Maybe not! 

hdaley

@justsuzie my ovia app said that many women complain about gas pains when they ovulate.  Interesting!  It was either gas pains or cramps but I'm leaning towards gas.

@justsuzie @TScalei Between BFing and Nexplanon, I only got AF twice in the two years after DS was born. I may have gone to my PCP convinced I was five months pregnant only to be told I was a gassy hypochondriac. 

I'm 90% sure I've ovulated, so I'm heading over to TWW. See you ladies soon!

babypi

That's so strange! I was just noticing today that I've noted gassy abdominal pains the last two months on the day of O. I checked because. Think I might have ovulated today and I'm super gassy/bloated again. I'm glad I'm not alone. Too funny!

SP128

@TScalei, @justsuzie @babypi  I notice gas throughout my cycle too, especially during TWW. Honestly, I feel like I'm a gassy person anyway but I would SS anything.

@MimoCa Hi  *** big waves*** One hell of a March storm huh?

I just got back from my re consult. He ordered day 3 testing and hsg for me and a sa and bw for DH.  Treatment planning after all the results are back.  He gave me some dismal statistics of getting ku on my own.  Not sure how he got that since we didn't have any tests run. Plus, I did get ku on my own before.  Who the hell knows.  
I did get to ask about spotting.  He said it could be normal but he can know for sure with the hsg.  He said it could be polyps that could interfere with implantation.  I mentioned that after my mc, they saw 2 polyps on my ultrasound.  
Hopefully, whatever it is there is an easy fix.  He said polyps would be.

@SP128- glad you got the tests ordered but I dont know if I'm a fan of your RE - why would he be so pessimistic when you haven't even had tests yet and you are still in your 30s!

SP128

@vlagrl29  no clue but I'm crossing my fingers for a good tx plan.

MimoCa

@sp128 brace yourself for more on Saturday woohoo

vlagrl29

All the testing is really easy @SP128 - don't let those statistics get in your head. Keep the positive thoughts going. We did all testing and just my prog. Came in a tad low. We all have a 20-25% chance of getting pregnant every month.

justsuzie

@SP128 Hmmm, seems odd he is so pessimistic.  I hope he is just one of those drs that plays it safe.  Let us know how the tests come back.  

TScalei

@SP128 - I'm sorry about your dr. I think some medical professionals really do just have a bad bedside manner. I've also heard some REs try to push fertility tx on you since that is their business so he may be working that angle. It seems like you are really on the right track though. HSG was not that bad just a bit uncomfortable and you get results right there. Fx for you girl!!!

justsuzie

@SP128 Hmmm, seems odd he is so pessimistic.  I hope he is just one of those drs that plays it safe.  Let us know how the tests come back.  fx for you.

SP128

Thank ladies. I'm actually very proud of myself for being positive. I asked, and he told me my chances are 4% each month!! I just don't believe it since he has no results. I'm pretty healthy and live a clean life @TScalei @justsuzie @vlagrl29

@SP128.  I wanted to check on your RE visit.  I'm glad you are feeling positive.  It is crazy how they come up with percentages especially when they have no tests to back them.  When I went for my appt, he said my odds slightly higher than 16% because I had a successful pregnancy and then got pregnant again quickly.  My RE didn't order any test other checking on my egg quality which came back normal for my age.  My friend saw an RE and he basically told her only chance of getting pregnant was IVF.  My RE said that wasn't a good option for me. My friend and I are same age.  friends RE also gave her a bunch of stats and opinions without any testing or knowledge for his comments.  I guess I feel like they are all different and have different approaches. I think testing is good though to rule out issues or correct issues.  Stay positive!!  Keeping you and all you beautiful ladies in my thoughts!! 

TScalei

@SP128 - sometimes I don't know where they get their statistics from - how can you ever really know someone's change of getting pg? Sometimes all the numbers and statistics for this boggle my mind.

vlagrl29

Well I think that number he gave you is a crock! @SP128 maybe because all they do is help people get pregnant they think it's the only way.

vlagrl29

I'm not even going to entertain the idea of an RE until later this fall. If I'm still not pregnant I'll look into different insurance options that cover fertility. During open enrollment.

vlagrl29

BD time officially started last night. I get way more in the mood during my fertile week. With spring coming in feeling a lot more optimistic lately. Hope that continues.

babypi

Looks like I might have O'd in the past few days. I had a ton of EWCM and now its pretty minimal watery CM, so I think I'm done for the month. With irregular temping and my DH messing with the thermostat I'm not sure I can trust FF, but it also gave me crosshairs. So I'm headed over to the dreaded TWW. 

vlagrl29

I know I said I wouldn't temp or opk and I'm not opk but I know my temp gets into the 98s after O and I had EWCM last week and I've been pretty dry lately so I temped this morning and it was still in the 97s.  I'm just anxious about starting those suppositories before I actually do O - not sure if it would do anything or not.

bpietronicco

@SP128 my RE told me I have less than 1% chance every month on my own and with iui 8% chance. This was after testing but my numbers were all good- just had a little bit elevated THC and one tube is blocked and based on my age.

SP128

@bpietronicco Yeah, no results for me yet.  HSG tomorrow.  He said 10% chance with IUI.  How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

vlagrl29

geez @SP128 - that still bothers me what your RE said about percentages.

justsuzie

@SP128 good luck with HSG tomorrow.  Do you get results right away?

vlagrl29

She should. My radiologist told me my tubes were all clear before I even got off the table. 

SP128

@justsuzie yeah results right away. Had to take the whole day off for a 15 min procedure. Starting to get nervous. 

Re didn't schedule an ultrasound first which I'm surprised. I called the office to ask since I told the re they found two polyps when they did ultrasounds to make sure the mc was complete. Nurse said they may order additional testing based on hsg. Everything is a waiting game

SP128

@vlagrl29 it baffles me really. I'm trying to stay positive that he must be wrong ....

justsuzie

@SP128 I hope you feel good enough to enjoy your day off a bit (celebrating some good results obviously). 

SP128

@justsuzie  Me too!! The plan right now is to go to this nice Korean supermarket and maybe get some Korean soup for lunch. Plans may change depending on my mood afterwards.  

amberruka

Good luck @SP128, keep us posted!

TScalei

*lurking*

GL @SP128 - hope everything goes smoothly for you!!

SP128

@amberruka @TScalei tubes are all clear. Everything looks normal !! Thanks for checking up on me

TScalei

*lurking*

@SP128 - Thats awesome news! They do say that people are most fertile after having the procedure done bec your tubes have been cleared out. Ill take any good statistics that I can!

lala123321567789

*lurking* 

@SP128 yay for everything going well! Great to hear your tubes are clear, FX for you! Really glad it was good news. 

vlagrl29

@sp128 don't believe the RE - my friend was told zero percent chance ever and she was pregnant 2 years later naturally

@sp128.  Glad everything went well today. 

SP128

Thanks ladies for all the check ins!!! Love to you all : )

justsuzie

@SP128 yah get to bd-info this cycle. I've heard hsg makes you more fertile as well! Hope you were able to enjoy your day off.
