So my crazy boss told me today she is not pg from her hot affair. She said she spent the whole weekend on the couch crying, and that she is devastated that she got her AF. I was right that she only thinks of herself, telling me how devastated she is after I have had a string of BFNs and an M/C. I'm just going to ignore her from here on out.
Tomorrow I go in for an HSG. Why did I not get this before, you may be thinking? Since I had a BFP they thought all was well but now they want to check. I'm not looking forward to it. I'm on Femara this cycle instead of Clomid. That stuff made me as cray cray as my boss lady...

We're having our HSG tomorrow too (BOTH of us, because we're really not sure how this fertility thing will play out for either of us).....
Good luck! Fingers crossed that your tubes are clear, and it goes super easy... I'm not looking forward to ours either - We were given Ponstan (to prevent cramping) from our clinic, + I'm going to take an ativan before to relax me a little, I hate having people mess around with my cervix.
I'm sorry your boss is a super mess -- that sounds both totally inappropriate in terms of laying her emotional crap on you as well as completely insensitive!

We lost our beautiful Twin baby girls on June 18, 2014. Tavin Sara and Casey Elizabeth were born at 21 weeks gestation and were absolutely beautiful, precious, amazing babies. We miss our daughters every day and love them with all our hearts.
Yep. Batshit crazy...
Just ... Wow. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to use your boss as a reminder to myself that I should be grateful (and I am, just even more so) that I am in a stable and loving relationship with another adult, and that we are actually prepared and ready to birth and raise a child together. No matter how out of control things might feel at any given moment.
Good luck on your HSG. Mine was really a breeze. I think I had one moment where I thought "Wow, this could get really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure how much longer my poker face can hold out." But that was also the exact moment when it was done. And, FWIW, I got my BFP on the next cycle.

Amen to all of that! I am also super grateful that I have an awesome partner in this, that I am going about it deliberately and not hoping for a random hookup to get KU.
Thanks for the encouragement on HSG. I want my wife in the room but I don't know if it is possible. I hope to get a BFP on the next cycle! Thanks!

I know that when our friends had their hsg here in Toronto the partner was allowed in the room. We are certainly counting on that for our two hsgs tomorrow and I hope you get to have your wife in yours.
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
FET #1 December 2014
In other good news, the tech told us her sister is 4 months Pg after she had hsg. She and her partner used the same bank we did. I'm hoping all this is a good sign.
I'm crampy though an don't want to go back to work. Time to write boss an email to let her know I'm working from home.
