Something you’re thankful for? Guys I’m so thankful for my SO! We so needed Saturday night!!! Everything has been about baby making , dr appointments, timed sex, etc but on saturday night man we had a ridiculously amazing time. We had a connection that night that we havent had in a long time, just reminded us how much love we have for each other! In a crowded venue we were making out like teenagers, I loved every last second of it:) and when we got home it was ON!!!! LOL it was that mind blowing kinda BD!

vlagrl29 · October 2017

Status - TWW - AF should start tomorrow or the next day.

My supplements have changed up for the next 2 months. My doc gave me a 4pack of supplements I take twice a day to help regulate my lower blood sugar levels. I'm also on Omega 3 twice a day cause I'm super low on fats, Thyraxis for thyroid, PNV. I'm feeling like an old person lol. Once I stop that 4pack I'll add back the coq10 and maca. I have my limits on how many pills I swallow a day. The only thing I've been bad about and haven't started is adding 22g of protein to my breakfast which is like 3 large eggs and I'm just not a huge protein person so if anyone has ideas I would be open to it. I"m not a huge breakfast eater like I basically eat oatmeal with fresh berries every day.

Rave - just got my prog results back from OB - it is the 7dpo test that I pushed for - not the CD21 and it came back 14!! guyz this is huge because the month of my loss it was 9.5 - the month after my loss it was 9. I have always wondered if that was on the low side but it's not! I had always wondered if I had a weak ovulation but I don't! I'm in the teens!!

DD is going to be Rey from star wars so DH is Luke Skywalker and I will be princess Leia

I'm thankful for my 11 students I teach every week and all the gigs I get to play

harleyquinn0621 · October 2017

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): benched after salpingectomy of left tube

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): I have a post op appointment on Monday 11/06 and then we will re-group to make a plan for moving forward.

Rants/Raves: my husband has been amazing through all of this. We have had such a tough year and he has truly been my rock through it all. I'm part of lots of infertility groups on facebook and i keep seeing women say their significant other just doesn't get it... they don't understand the physical or emotional pain and i am just so thankful my DH does.

GTKY: Are you dressing up for Halloween? not really.. i bought a witches hat to wear to work but that's about it - i was going to go shopping this past weekend but plans changed.

Something you’re thankful for? i'm thankful that i am healthy and that the surgery went smoothly with no complications

harleyquinn0621 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 i am so glad you have a dr that makes you feel heard! and that progesterone number is great!!

@Momifbysea good luck with the transfer on thursday!!!

@ndz2018 i'm so glad you and your DH had a great saturday night! i def need a night like that with DH as soon as i am healed up lol

ndz2018 · October 2017

@harleyquinn0621 How long do they think you’re gonna be benched for?

harleyquinn0621 · October 2017

@ndz2018 i'm not sure yet ... I have my post op appointment next monday to make sure i'm healing ok and she said she will slowly release me back to exercise and intercourse .... it sounds like it depends on how well i'm healing

vlagrl29 · October 2017

I think I'm going to stick with the ubiquinol.

@harleyquinn0621 I hope you heal fast!

ndz2018 · October 2017

@harleyquinn0621 Yeah def rest and take it easy.. must be tough, how are you feeling?

ndz2018 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 just got those 180 300mg ubiquinol today from Amazon. She wants me to take 300mg twice a day!

artemis618 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 and @ndz2018 I actually ran to Costco (like 7 miles away) on my lunch today to get ubiquinol because I’m so paranoid (plus it was on coupon

. Also, I was hoping it’d make me feel less tired from the progesterone...*yawn*

ndz2018 · October 2017

@artemis618 How much were they with the coupon? I had a g/c on amazon but I’ll probably get them from Costco next time.

artemis618 · October 2017

@ndz2018 The coupon was for $7 off, $28 after coupon for 120-100mg softgels. I actually have like 4 bottles at home because I was making DH take it too (but only like 200/day). It’s through 11/22 (online too, but not sure if the warehouse price is lower). Actually, it looks like they offer a 200mg softgel option (w/omega 3s though) online that I haven’t seen in stores (same $7 off thru 11/22 and looks like free/included shipping).

harleyquinn0621 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 @ndz2018 thank you ladies! i am super sore but that is to be expected. i also get really tired easy right now. i think healing mentally is going to be harder than physically... logically i understand with one good tube i can still get pregnant but it's just difficult to really believe that, if that makes any sense lol

vlagrl29 · October 2017

I have the one with the omega 3. Dang 600 is a lot!!! @ndz2018 I am taking 200 twice a day. I have dh take 1 a day along with maca and vit C. I'm wondering if the ubiquinol has helped with imcreasing my progesterone and I had a lot more ewcm this cycle. I'm sick of taking so many supplements. I'm hoping after a month I can decrease the amounts.

vlagrl29 · October 2017

@harleyquinn0621 - healing from loss mentally speaking is exhausting. I was taking 1 nap a day. My energy was zero. I'm use to energy so that was hard for me.

ndz2018 · October 2017

Ugh WTF?!?!?!! Still no AF maybe I’m stressing out Bc I want to get it! If it’s not here tomorrow I’ll take another test but honestly I doubt it’ll be positive, SERIOUSLY I can’t win lol!

vlagrl29 · October 2017

I know mine will be here any second cause I've had light spotting. You can take mine @ndz2018

ndz2018 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 AHHAHAHA I totally would if I could! SO keeps saying “ Maybe you are pregnant” with a big smile but I really don’t think I am. I mean when we got the ultrasound last fri she said my uterine lining is nice and thick like right before you get your period so I’m going with I’m way too in my head stressing about this lol I will take another test tomorrow if it’s not here.

vlagrl29 · October 2017

you probably should test @ndz2018 - but I also know from experience stress can delay AF.

ndz2018 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 YUP! I was 7 days late a few months ago due to stress! Swore I was finally pregnant but no, just stress. I have a test I’ll take it in the AM.

vlagrl29 · October 2017

I honestly have no idea why it's not happening for us. All my hormones are great, tubes are clear, sperm is good. Now that I know I have a great prog # that rules out the thought of weak ovulation from my brain.

ndz2018 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 that really does suck! I mean Its like if one thing was off at least you could be like, well there’s my problem but all your test come back normal. wish I had more words of wisdom for ya!

Ugh and the things people say when you tell them you’re TTCA 35 omg I just wanna B*TCH SLAP’EM!!

My aunt : well maybe you’re not doing it right
me : ummmmmm what?!?!

My grandmother : you’re way too old to have babies
me: I hate you ( true story hung up the phone)

vlagrl29 · October 2017

Add menopause is right around the corner why put yourself thru that again? My own mother

there are such things as miracles.

vlagrl29 · October 2017

I don't care what anyone says about being 35 and older ttc- it can still take almost a year to conceive.

ndz2018 · October 2017

@vlagrl29 It’s like they think we are going through menopause NOW!

ndz2018 · November 2017

Ok guys took a test this morning and it was a BFN again.. WTF?!?! Where is AF?!? Any suggestions on how to get this b*tch rolling?? Lol

vlagrl29 · November 2017

I have no idea @ndz2018 - that is kinda weird and annoying right? I'm on CD31 and still spotting. Usually my cycle isn't this long and the flow starts by now. Any second now I'm guessing.

ndz2018 · November 2017

@vlagrl29 I’ve got no spotting at all!!! So annoyed!! Maybe I’m concentrating on it too much.

vlagrl29 · November 2017

lol @ndz2018 - stop thinking about it! On the bright side when it does start you can get those tests. If it takes too long to start there is medicine to jump start it but I would make sure your not pregnant first.

ndz2018 · November 2017

If I don’t get it by tomorrow I’m gonna call my nurse and see if she can advise me to maybe help move this along. I’m now 4 days late and took two tests and both are negative.

vlagrl29 · November 2017

Hcg can be slow to rise. I don't turn a pee test bfp until I'm 4 weeks along.

ndz2018 · November 2017

I mean I usually will be like 1-2 days late of my 28/29 day cycle but now I’m CD 33 If the nurse says to wait it out tomorrow I guess I’ll just try to relax and maybe get a massage and have a relaxation day! Maybe go get some acupuncture? My chiro offers acu so I’ll give them a call tomorrow after I talk to my nurse.

ndz2018 · November 2017

If anyone has any advice to make AF come faster I’m all ears! Got the heating pad hoping it’ll help with blood flow maybe? Idk I’ll try anything right now

vlagrl29 · November 2017

Have sex maybe? Lol

im in need of much yoga tonight. Had a dream last night that brought back old memories. Been kinda sad all day. Seeing Xmas everything out right now is not helping!

ndz2018 · November 2017

@vlagrl29 HA maybe!
Sorry to hear that. You may need a glass of wine too.

vlagrl29 · November 2017

Maybe we will both start AF tomorrow! I think my spotting is getting heavier.

I was too tired to make yoga so I'll get there tomorrow. In the meantime I'm going to hit up some Halloween candy.

ndz2018 · November 2017

OMG!! WTF!!!! Still no AF! That’s it I’m calling my nurse today! This is ridiculous! I mean I feel all pms-y I mean I pretty much consumed every bit of candy left over from Halloween lol

ndz2018 · November 2017

Ok, called my nurse this morning unfortunately she said we gotta wait it out BUT she did have my blood work back and everything looks good but my AMH is 4.17 and I do not have PCOS that I know of, so is this a bad thing?? she did say that my Rubella came back equivocal? Guess it means that they just don’t know and will test me again in 2-4 weeks. But I am immune to everything else they tested for. SO blood work all came back normal as well. Now if AF will stop being so freakin stubborn and get here we can find out more information!
Oh and I’m a teeny tiny deficient in Vit D which is weird Bc I take supplements.. norml is 30
mine was 29.3 so I’m BARELY off.

Labluver2 · November 2017

@ndz2018 isn't it funny how when we want AF to show she doesnt. Ssooo frustrating!!! Hope she comes soon for you to get started.

AFM waiting to ovulate my window starts tomorrow DH is still away a and will be back Sunday so he better be ready for me lol. I normally ovulate a little later so missing 2 days shouldn't be a big deal.

Its so frustrating when everyone of the tests come out normal and still not pregnant.
