APRIL FET

Re: APRIL FET

  • Thank you everyone for the support.  There was no bacteria, nitrates, or blood in my urine, but they prescribed me something because I still have symptoms.  I talked to the nurse again today at my RE clinic and she said to go ahead and take the meds.  I talked to her again about the beta results and she said it didn’t look good and she just wanted me to be prepared.  I’m at work today just trying to keep it together.
  • Loading the player...
  • Oh man... glad it doesn't look like an active infection, but ugh... so sorry you are still waiting to know whats going on with your beta... are you going to take tomorrow off?
  • @dragonette505 I think I’m going to try to come in tomorrow and probably take Thursday off if it’s bad news.  I hate to take another day off because I’ve taken so many already doing all this fertility stuff.
  • laurengon82  No, I know... I had wanted to take my beta day off too, but we have stuff going on here and it would not look great having taken last Friday too. Ugh... I hate that we also have to worry about stuff like this... sending big hugs
  • @dragonette505 thank you! Most of my students think I have a cold.  I think only a few can tell that there is something more wrong.
  • laurengon82  I am always amazed at our strength on these boards. 
  • @dragonette505 YAAAASS! I’m so amazed by the strength of all of you! We all get knocked down and get back up again and again and again... That is what I admire about all of you every single day! 

    @laurengon82 Nothing I can say is gonna help I’ll just put it bluntly and say THIS EFFING SUCKS! And that if you need to talk I’m a PM away and that we’re all here to vent to ...sending lots of creepy internet hugs doll! 
  • @artemis618 EEEEKKKK  :):):) Amazeballs!

  • @artemis618 I don’t remember what the prescription is called.  I actually still have to go pick it up because they didn’t have it ready til this morning after I already had to be at work.  I’m glad to hear that everything is going good with your pregnancy.

  • @funkykey I’m gonna tell them to leave me a VM and I will just check it after work
  • @dragonette505 - me too. And I might either take an HPT the night before or before I listen to the voicemail. I'm undecided. 

    I'm definitely not an HPT lover. I know you do them. Here I am, 5dp5dt and I am not tempted at all. 
  • @funkykey Smart woman! I swear they just make me crazy. I think I finally learned my lesson with them. :)

  • Thanks guys. Nothing here I'm sick with a fever lol - shocking so it's hard to tell. But only thing I have felt is tired at night but that could be from PIO and little twingy pains/cramping randomly. That's it. Otherwise I feel 100% normal.

    Yep...Shady Grove likes to take all my money :) So if all works out I'll have my boys and now a girl. So hoping to god this works so I can move on to the next chapter. Kids already have such a big gap. My brother and I were 1 1mo apart and always super close. But I guess it just means the boys will be protectors/helpers. I'm sick of being the only girl in the house of boys including the dog  :D I'm sorry I feel bad posting on here at the same time bc most are still trying for their first. I just feel the pain and get it (not fully bc some of you have been trying for so long with so many obstacles but I hope for the best for everyone) and know that it will happen. May not be easy but you ladies will get that little bundle of joy.

    @mcgeeva OMG! I'm so happy for you. It's totally normal to not feel any symptoms, I still dont feel much. And, its very good the line is getting darker, that just means the numbers are increasing as they should. My 7dp5dt was lighter than yours and mine were doubling perfectly. I'm so hopeful for you :) when are you are going for beta?
