Good Morning, my lovely May mamas!  I hope July is being kind to you all. Please feel free to PM me anytime if you are having a tough week. <3 

This is a check-in for anyone who had a loss or an EDD in May (of any year). I am so sorry for each one of your losses. I hope that this can be a place to give support and help each other through this difficult time.

Members, give us an update on how you are doing. If I didn’t tag you with specific questions, it’s only because we didn’t hear from you last week (or for a few weeks) - please jump back in. Please pop in and let us know how you’re doing even if you don’t have time to respond to everyone individually this week! New members, introduce yourself so that we can get to know you.

If you get a BFP, please PM me and let me know. I try to lurk on PgAL often, but sometimes it’s tough.

    Hey ladies! Thanks for the checkin @tvlily! Hoping all is well with you this week!

    Thanks for the CD1 hugs... I am good with it... I think since it was the first cycle ttc, and it was so wonky, I didnt have very high hopes, so that helped with not being too let down. I think I am going to switch my OPKs, I was using the CBdigital thing that you cant use again after you get a positive... biggest waste of $55 EVER! I think I am pretty good at interpreting pee sticks by this point, so I am just going to go with the target ones that seem to be decently priced... and start around CD 7 since I have been apparently Oing earlier then I used to... ::sigh:: we will see right? its all just a big ol waiting game!

    As for my birthday, it was pretty low key, hubs and I had a fancy dinner and I bought my self some new things, went to dinner and drinks with friends as well as yoga in the park and some happy hour with a friend... lots of classy 30 year old things ;) Hugs to all you ladies!

  • Good morning and thank you for the check in @TVLily‌! Hope you are doing well!!

    @jlworden710‌ - the waiting game is the worst part, I always feel like it's a hurry up and wait process. Good luck with figuring out your new normal! Woot woot for a fancy dinner and new things, anything spectacular??

    AFM -the RE apt was really great! He explained everything to us in a way that was easy to understand. He talked through each test, the how and why too, and then we met with the scheduler who explained the tests and how to schedule and last but not least we spoke to the billing coordinator who told us how much everything would cost and what our insurance would/would not cover.

    Takeaways were that he is worried about three things: my uterine abnormality (dx with a "heart shaped" uterus a while back), my hormone levels (high FSH) and my anovulatory cycles. We will call on CD 1 for a full blood panel/SA and then start ultrasounds. Even though we left overwhelmed by possibilities, we are ready to just get started. I'm in the 2WW right now, FF says 7 DPO(I got my first ever smiley on my CBE digital OPK's 2 days before our apt) and cd 1 is due on the 23rd so we will see!

  • @co baby1‌ I'm so happy you feel ready to go after seeing the RE! Have they done any other testing to diagnose your heart shape ute or was to just through ultrasound? Just curious because they thought mine was heart shaped then after an mri they found it was the septum which could be removed.

    As for my birthday I got a new Pandora charm for my losses, a Pandora feather ring I've been wanting since the new catalog came out and some coach sandals :)

    They did a saline ultrasound and an MRI on me before I had my daughter. The OB told me we could have problem with breech/early babies but said other than that it shouldn't cause any issues. We never had any issues during my daughters pregnancy and she was born perfect at 39.2 weeks. He said because of that it shouldn't be an issue (they hadn't gotten my results to him yet) but with my MW saying it was retroverted as well he wants to look into it more.

    YAY for new, awesome, birthday presents!!

    Good morning, thanks for the check in! Running is going well, the ab challenge is really hard and I'm only on day 3! My drink of the moment is Sam Adams Rebel IPA, yummy! There is also Pinot Grigio in the fridge. I'm really taking advantage of my cylce off

    :D

     

    @jlworden710 glad you had a nice birthday! Why do you think you can't continue to use the CB Digi? The one I have is a 2 month supply and it comes with 1 holder and enough tests for 2 months. Although I use it longer bc I don't use that many tests a month since I know my cycle. I'm just curious.

     

    @ cobaby1 Glad the appt went well!

     

    QOTW - Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden (I've already seen him once and am seeing him again in Philly in a few weeks, but I've never seen him in NY. As a Long Island girl, thats the dream!)

    I'm glad your RE has put together a full testing panel for you so you can get a much clearer answer on what's going on.

    Dealing with an RE definitly is overwhelming but just be sure to ask lots of questions and don't be afraid to take notes. I definitly find it helpful to have mh attend as many of those appt as he can for a second set if ears and do he can ask questions too.

    Hm, maybe mine is different? I've gotten negatives then positives the next cycle. Last month I had bw that confirmed the smiley face too. Why would they sell a 2 month box then if you can only get 1 positive? Hmmm

    Thanks @TVLily‌ for running the check in. How are you doing?

    @Giants721 ~ I hope the rest of your vacation was wonderful! How are you feeling? You can test on Saturday right? Everything crossed for you! Did you book in for your IVF information session for the mean time?

    Our vacation was wonderful, thank you. We had great beach weather everyday. I'm feeling good. Yesterday and the day before I had pulling near my left ovary. When we went to bed last night, there was a frog on our window. I googled frog symbolism and they are said to signify fertility, so that got my hopes up a bit. I can test Saturday but of course I tested this am, bfn. Hopefully it's too soon. I have cramps this morning,which is early for me.

    I scheduled our ivf info course on August 6. They only do it every other Wednesday and we couldn't do next week. Mh goes for his practice prep semen analysis this Friday. I told him he has to put a lot of effort into it. We want lots of sperm. ;) if this cycle is a bust, I want to do at least one more IUI.

    Well I caved and tested yesterday at 14dpiuu and it was a bfn. Sigh... I saw this coming, it really wasn't a shock; but even with all that "mental preparation" it sucks, a lot. I feel like I bearly spoke to anyone yesterday for fear of rage and tears coming out. It's hard when you've invested so much energy into a cycle.

    So I'll go for beta Thursday but I am quite confident in a hpt at 14dpiui being accurate. Not sure what is the plan for next cycle, part of me doesn't want to know because I probably won't like the answer. I know moving to ivf with icsi is the logical step but I think we'll probably fight for a few more iuis.


    QOTW: that's a tough one, I really like a wide variety of music. I think going to something like I heart radio music fest where I could see a bunch of different artists would be amazing! I'm a huge country girl though too and would love to see Miranda lambert and Blake Shelton if they ever toured together.

    So glad you had a good vacation!!

    Sorry for the bfn but 11dpiui is early so I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Hopefully the frog and cramping are all good signs.

    Fx for a great report on Fridays analysis. At least it will give you better insight moving forward from this point on. It's good to get the course done in a few weeks so you can get more information on future steps.

    Hi ladies!

    Sorry in advance for the P&R - I am just so busy & overwhelmed this week!

    I have almost everything ready to go for our RE consult tomorrow. I just need to finish up MH's questionnaire (or maybe by some miracle he will do it tonight while I'm at my board meeting - ha!). And I need to go make personal copies of my records tomorrow morning. Otherwise, we're ready to go.

    I'll probably update on the main board tomorrow night to let everyone know how it goes, but I'll try to come reply to everyone here as well.

    Sending you all love & hugs!

    Oh - QOTW - haha, that's tough because I pretty much go to every single concert I want to see. With MH being a musician, music is super important in our lives. ;) I guess the one I'd really love to see and haven't yet is Adele!

    I'm glad you have everything almost together! Hopefully YH will surprise you but mine'a not to keen on paperwork either.

    Fx for a great initial appt! I look forward to the update.

    I love your comment "music is super important to our lives" that's great you embrace what you love and see what you want. I agree Adele would be amazing!!

    Good morning ladies! @TVLily how are you these days? Hope all is well on your end :)

    @JLWorden710 the waiting game is the worst! I started testing at cd7 and got an almost pos on cd8, then a pos cd9.. the whole time we were ttc with sawyer we kept missing my o because I wasn't doing opks early enough and didn't realize I had such a short cycle. I used the wondfo ones and then when I got my pos on that one I used the CB digi and got a smiley :) FX you catch it this cycle!! Your birthday sounded fun and YAY for Pandora charms! especially with such beautiful meaning :)

    @Co baby 1 I'm so glad your RE has given you the confidence in him to try again! I love that he broke down the reasoning for each test and took the time to make sure you and yh understood what they were all about :) sounds like a keeper!

    @KM380 that's so great  that you're taking full advantage of your month off. Drink all the things!! and an ab challenge sounds sooo tough, but rewarding I bet ;) PS I LOVE LOVE LOVE Billy Joel <3 *swoon*

    @ashtog
    ~ How is the 2ww
    treating you? When do you plan on testing?  Sorry I didn't answer your
    question last week. This session's homework is on mindfulness and living
    more in the present.

    **Living Children**

    AFM I am doing ok ish in the 2ww.. I'm on cd7 today and am planning on starting POAS on cd9. because that's just how crazy I am . although, maybe I won't. maybe I'll wait til I am late if I am. the idea of not knowing almost feels better to me than getting a BFN. at least you get to feel hopeful for a little longer even if it's not a BFP. I start shooting weddings next weekend, and I feel all sorts of anxiety about this, as it feels like doing that will show everyone that I am ok and over Sawyer- which is a boldface lie. I will never be ok or over him. my DD brought flowers from my flowerbed to lay next to Sawyer's little moon urn which sits on my dresser, and for some reason that just broke my heart and I spent most of sunday in my room crying, it felt so fresh and new all over again. I like the sound of your homework assignment :) thank you for sharing

    QOTW: I would love love love to see Damien
    Rice. my all time favorite singer

    Big ((hugs)) I'm sorry that you had an unexpected breakdown, it is tough when innocent actions and words just yank your heart strings bringing you to your knees.

    I also didn't know Sawyer had a moon urn, I love you incorporated that symbolism into your tatoo. Beautiful.

    If your interested in reading the article on mindfulness it over I can send it to
    you.

    Fx for you for testing this week.

    @TVLily **HUGE HUGS** I am so sorry. FWIW I have heard of ppl not getting a bfp until 17dpo, so maybe the beta will give you some good news? and I think fighting for a few more rounds of IUI is reasonable, does your dr have a reason to want to jump into IVF so quickly? {sorry I am not very fluent in IUI and IVF}


    No problem at all I'm learning a lot myself. I have pcos so I'm at a high risk for over response so we can't do injects. We also have mfi and the lab recommended we move directly to ivf with icsi because it was below the threshold cut off for iui (in ontario they want to see 7 million and above). However our RE said since wed been pregnant twice in the past year he let us try a couple iuis if we could get to 5 million. This iui was only 3 and he said at that appt wed have to review our options if this cycle failed. I didn't ask for details on that at the time so we'll find out at cd3 testing I guess. The scariest part for me with ivf is after that we've probably run out of options do it just feels overwhelming lately.

    Sorry for the rant...

    Hi @tvlily! I'm sorry for the BFN (((Hugs))) I really hope you are just testing too early - FX.

    jlworden710 - your birthday sounds awesome! I like low-key birthdays with drinks, friends, and yummy food :) Glad to hear you had a good time.

    co baby1 - yay - glad to hear your appt went well and you like your RE.

    Km380 - sounds like you are enjoying your cycle off - cheers! I run a little extra some days so I can eat and drink more ;)

    Giants721 - the beach sounds wonderful - glad you had a nice time. I hope you are just testing too early (((Hugs)))

    HoldingOutHope - hope your appt goes well tomorrow - will be thinking of you and looking for an update!

    ashtog - I'm sorry about your day yesterday. (((Hugs))) and I hope you are doing better today.

    AFM: My tick bite is gone, so FX that everything is okay. Sunday was so much fun! We went to a friends for a BBQ and then watched the game. It was so tense, but I was very excited to see Germany win. The game ended around midnight and that's when they busted out the champagne. Fun! My cycle is okay. I'm on CD8 - AF came last week. I'm feeling very frustrated, but no need to tell you. I think that's pretty normal around here. I leave on a business trip Sunday and DH on Monday, so I don't have high hopes for this cycle. We'll make the most of the weekend :\">

    QOTD: That really depends on my mood. I've been in the summer, drinking mood lately . . . so I am going to say Jimmy Buffet. I would love to go to a concert now with my roommate from college. It would be a hoot!

    ((Hugs)) to you lovely ladies. I hope you are all doing well!

    I'm really sorry for AF, sending lots of ((hugs)) your way. That sucks you both have to travel next week too. Hopefully done extra BD this weekend will be all you need.

    That is awesome! It would have been so fun to be right in the action of that all. Nothing like some Sunday midnight champagne to celebrate too, I'm sure Germany was a slow moving country Monday morning haha!
