Trouble TTC

Overwhelmed!! Update **((Possible BFP mentioned))**

edited July 2014 in Trouble TTC
I haven't been around much for the last two weeks due to being insanely busy with everything. After a big party DH and I threw, we packed up our house and made several trips from ND to MN to move our stuff. Now we are on our annual family vacation. I am so grateful to have all these distractions during this cycle! We've been so busy I haven't had time to breath. Anyway, This morning at 13 dpiui I decided to test since there's alcohol around. I was not hopeful about this cycle at all so I was in shock when the test was a very distinct positive. I'm freaking out because now my hopes are WAY up and I can't control it. I'm just worried that my trigger is playing tricks on me...I've had positives left over from my trigger at 14 days dpiui but they have always been so extremely faint I can hardly see them. I've never had a positive this strong at this time before. I'm surrounded by family this week and I'm finding impossible to keep myself together right now! To top things off its our anniversary in three days and what greater gift to get. I know I should be hopeful but I'm just so mad at myself for getting excited over this, I don't want to be let down. Thanks for letting me share/vent I'm crossing fingers!

Re: Overwhelmed!! Update **((Possible BFP mentioned))**

  • Hopefully it's a legit bfp and not leftover hormones from your trigger. When do you go for betas?


     

    TTC since July 2012 
    BFP 5/22/13. Lap. to remove ectopic and dx with endo. 6/16/13

    RE consult: June 2014

    DX: FVL, endo, hypothyroidism, blocked left tube

    Oct. 2014: First treatment cycle: Clomid+trigger+IUI=BFN

    November 2014: Clomid+trigger+IUI again=BFP!

    BFP 11/28/14 MC discovered 1/14/15

    Blogging to stay sane

  • Loading the player...
  • I will test again in the morning and call if its positive. So I'm not sure yet. Since it's sunday I have to wait to call in anyway
  • Are you FEELING any different than you have in past cycles?  I know that isn't a definitive indication of anything but it's worth noting.  I'm surprised that your trigger has been in your system 14dpiui!  Mine is always gone by 7-8dpiui.  

    I'm FX'd for you and hope that this is a true blue BFP!

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
    Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)

    Married 8/20/2011
    TTC #1 since Jan 2013
    First appointment with RE 10/2013.  
    April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
    May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
    June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8.  HCG shot CD14.  IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN
    July 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD3-7.  Ultrasound CD12 - 4 mature follies! HCG trigger shot CD12 AM.  IUI#3 on CD13 w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW ....BFN
    July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.
    August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one.  Super freak out mode over surgery plan.  OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
    August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy.  Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!  
    November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found).  Benched x 3 months

    PAIF/SAIF welcome
  • That sounds really promising, good luck and Fx for continuing positive tests! It must be so hard to be around family right now and have this on your mind, but not be able to talk about it. Also welcome to MN!
    Me: 40, Hypothyroidism, well managed, TSH 1.99

    TTC since 02/2013  
    08/13: Day 3 tests (ESTRADIOL 20.8; AMH 1.1; FSH 6.2)

    6/14 to present: Taking a break, getting healthier, researching IVF
    Planning for IVF in late summer 2015

  • The last few times it's seems to be getting out of my system earlier. And I'm not sure if I am really having symptoms or not....lol. I fell off a horse last week so I've been feeling sore since. I've been feeling more wore out the last few days but I don't know if that's symptoms because I've been working so hard packing and lifting. I also have tender boobs but I always have them after I ovulate. Although they also usually feel less sore by now and so far they still seem to be about the same
  • FX it's a real BFP
  • It seems unlikely that this would still be your trigger. Good luck! Keep us posted!

  • FX for a true BFP and not any trigger left over! Keep us posted and enjoy the vacation!

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

    TTC since April 2013
    Currently testing for infertility cause and hormone imbalance.
    Infertility & ovarian cyst diagnosis: May '14
    B/W: 'good', more ordered to check antibodies & progesterone
    SA: Normal :)
    U/Ss for cyst: who the f knows
    DH's cat scan: showed encapsulated fatty growth; u/s: didn't really show much more
    Breast Specialist: Most likely a large fibroid, but keeping an eye on it, repeat u/s every 6mos 
    HSG: clear tubes, uterus is A-ok
    WHAT'S NEXT: DH's consult with surgeon to discuss next step for growth, either biopsy or surgery~Big discussion with Dr. before any possibility of starting Clomid, since I'll want another u/s before and to be monitored and he doesn't seem into that. I had to force his hand just to order the AMH test so may be looking for another OB
