June TWW

Chawk17 · June 2017

@Mack2342 dang it. I had hoped for a bfp. This Sucks!!!

Mack2342 · June 2017

@Chawk17 yes it sucks

vlagrl29 · June 2017

Sorry @mack2342 - how much is iui out of pocket? I know we can't financially afford that stuff. I hope you have better luck with the next round.

SP128 · June 2017

Kinda go here now. Nurse called with fertilization report. 12/13 eggs fertilized. 1-11 fertilized rt away and number 12 was a late bloomer. Tentatively scheduled for day 5 transfer this Thursday. Re will then tell us how many made it, the grade and how many will be frozen and biopsies. Another hurdle done. Now we wait

mdfarmchick · June 2017

@SP128 fingers crossed for you!

Mack2342 · June 2017

@sp128. That's great! FX for successful stressful

@vlagrl29. RE told me total would be $800 out of pocket if insurance didn't cover and $250 of that was medication. Our insurance has picked up a good portion so only coating us about $200 out of pocket each round.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29 you could also take the drugs and do timed intercourse so that would be a little less expensive

vlagrl29 · June 2017

I guess that could be an option but we have zero fertility coverage @Mack2342 and debt makes me anxious. We just don't have that cash flow right now. I was really rooting for you. Don't give up hope.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29. I'm trying not to give up hope. My insurance said they only covered up to a diagnosis. I've not been diagnosed with anything so I thing that is why they are covering

vlagrl29 · June 2017

well that's awesome! so they have not diagnosed you with infertility then? @Mack2342 I've always assumed with my insurance that as long as anything was coded fertility which is what blue cross told me then they wouldn't pay for it. Which is why my OB coded all those fertility tests as abnormal periods.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29 then maybe your OB can prescribe meds and code same way so insurance covers

vlagrl29 · June 2017

yeah that's what we will probably talk about in August - I'm just not sure I want to go the clomid route because I heard it can thin the uterine lining. I'm not too much a fan of medical intervention which is why I"m fine with waiting a couple more months to go over it with Dr. @Mack2342

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29 I understand you gotta do what's best for you and your family

vlagrl29 · June 2017

I think it's great for others that need it @Mack2342 and maybe I would be more eager for it if I didn't already have 1 kid. I'm sure I would. Part of it stems from my loss. For awhile I was blaming myself for the loss because I had an HSG and didn't know I was pregnant. Already had a period and did a pee test that morning and it was negative. The next week it was positive. I'd hate to take something that might mess up something that doesn't need fixing and then I'd hate myself even more. Plus I heard the chances aren't greater for getting pregnant if you already do ovulate. I know my anxiety would greatly increase. And what if I was pregnant when I already started taking it and it messed up an embryo that hadn't attached. I know I'm nuts but these are the things that go on in my head when I think about stuff like that. I'd rather try eastern medicine first acupuncture, herbs, etc. Maybe read that book - it starts with the egg. But I'm not doing any of that stuff for the next couple months because I need a mental break from worry.

Lurking and butting in

sorry... I love Clomid talk so I can't help myself.

"Plus I heard the chances aren't greater for getting pregnant if you already do ovulate"

I took Clomid- which we all know this.
But I didn't have problems ovulating. I was on Clomid to ovulate MORE because I only have 1 fallopian tube. So it's not just for people who don't ovulate

Chawk17 · June 2017

Plus @vlagrl29 you are constantly monitored by OB ( if they're good) that I don't think they would allow you to take it if possibly pregnant. But I could be wrong. I'm not an expert...just know from my experience.

vlagrl29 · June 2017

I appreciate that @Chawk17 and I can see why you used it with 1 tube. We'll see where we are at in August and what we want to do starting in September. For me I don't show pregnant for 4 weeks so if I took it early in the cycle they wouldn't know. I'm a weirdo who gets the first period when pregnant. Nothing attached until a good 2 weeks later.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29 I had an US before I started meds and was monitored by doctor the whole time too. I'm taking it because I'm 42 and the hope is that with the meds my body will release more follicles so hopefully one will be a good egg and that's the egg that's fertilized

vlagrl29 · June 2017

you're with an RE though right @Mack2342 - I'm under the impression that they monitor way more than OBs do. That would be a concern of mine. Now if my OB does all that your doctor does I would be more comfortable with that.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29 I'm at RE but I have friends that have done same process with regular OB they just did timed intercourse though. Other than that they received the same treatment with just as much contact with OB

vlagrl29 · June 2017

@Mack2342 - well that's really reassuring. I'd be afraid to do it without monitoring. You always hear about how OBs only do the 21 day prog test with it. That's what my old OB would have done if I did clomid with her. I will have to really talk about it with my current OB for better clarification.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@vlagrl29 yes you should talk with doctor about if you decide you want to pursue

ladipale · June 2017

@Mack2342 - sorry your TWW ended with BFN

hdaley · June 2017

Everytime I see all the new posts I get all excited for BFPs! Fingers crossed for everyone, I'll be joining you in the next couple of days.

jchpg · June 2017

I'm out. BFN Sunday morning and AF started with a vengeance today. This month it's mentally hitting me a lot harder then the last.

hdaley · June 2017

Sorry @jchpg. Hugs, take it easy and drink wine and eat chocolate. It sucks.

ladipale · June 2017

I'm about 10 dpo and just trying to stay insanely busy and keep my mind off my empty uterus. I might test early next week before we go on vacation.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@ladipale FX!!!

amberruka · June 2017

fX for you @ladipale!!

rosemaryandthyme · June 2017

@ladipale Hoping so hard for good news for you!

ladipale · June 2017

Thanks ladies!!

pghren · June 2017

10 dpo here too. I've started early testing to no avail. I am really starting to wonder why I bother with the early testing. All I can think of is cheap tests are cheap and plentiful and just sitting there tempting me

ladipale · June 2017

@allowachick I don't currently have any tests or I would test I'm sure.

hdaley · June 2017

Good luck ladies! Fingers and toes crossed

SP128 · June 2017

@ladipale GL lady : )

@allowachick FX that it is too early for you.

SP128 · June 2017

I go here now. Transfer was this morning. Beta will be drawn on July 9th!

amberruka · June 2017

GL @SP128!!!!!!!

Mack2342 · June 2017

FX @sp128

ladipale · June 2017

Cramps and spotting. Pretty sure I'm out. And depressed and frustrated

i never used to get cramps so I'm getting concerned I have scarring or something from 3 D&Es in 11 months.

Mack2342 · June 2017

@ladipale. I'm sorry. My cycle is crazy now. I used to get cramps. I don't now instead I get nauseous. I hope it's just a new symptom and nothing more
