I tested today at 10DPIUI just to be sure the trigger shot was gone. I know it was a long shot to see a BFP, but it was still a kick in the gut to see the test strip stark white where the line had been. My LP is only about 12 days, so (probably irrationally) I feel like if it were going to happen, it would have happened by 10DPIUI. Stupid, I'm sure.
::hugs:: 10 is still SO early for something to show up! not out yet!
Huge hugs coming your way, ladies. (discogranny, @meepmeep, loira)). I can't even imagine how you are handling all this.

I have a short LP when unmedicated and have only ever gotten positives at 13dpo. There's still hope!
swiftlyirun I finished my pre-reqs just before we bought our house and decided to take the semester off to help DH remodel and then we miscarried shortly after and have been so deep in the TTC process that I keep telling myself to just wait to enroll in the graduate program because of potential pregnancy. Now I'm irritated that I didn't just get back at it because I would be almost done now.
What day are you testing callmehales & riffraff? I think I'm a few days behind you.
Happy Friday everyone! I love that I only do half days on Fridays. It makes the fact that I was here until 9 last night a little better. I forgot my progesterone so I had to run back home and grab it and have not found any motivation since I got back. 2 more hours.
As for me, I'm happy that I'm feeling better as far as bloating. I'm not completely uncomfortable anymore. And DH and I are setting up an appointment to look at a possible new car for me tomorrow, so that's exciting.

So I saw a post, let me find it
It basically was explaining why some woman got BFP earlier or later
so normal hcg is 1-5
so if you have 1 your HCG doubling time would take longer than someone with a normal hcg of a 5.
Does that make sense?
I also tested at 10dpo and got a negative, and had to remind myself it's way too early lol
I stupidly tested today (I know dumb) so I have an apt on Wednesday and I'm off so I can either celebrate or be sad lol
I can't remember if I mentioned how much I LOVE My new ob/gyn guys he's seriously so amazing, we actually sat and talked yesterday for over an hour about all my concerns about becoming pregnant, all the issues I have had, it was seriously so refreshing to meet with someone who actually made me a priority, and my apt was at 11, I Was called back at 10:50, nurse took my blood pressure and weight and stuff and said the dr will be in in a few, he literally came in right after, and we talked for over and hour. I love that they don't OVER book so that the dr can actually spend time with you.

That will be nice to have the day off either way! That sounds great about your OB. We have absolutely no IF coverage with our current insurance plan but I looooove the OB department so I don't want to change plans for if/when. I'm still testing my trigger out so I decided to just wait until that is done to decide a testing date.

((@meepmeep)). I hope you are able to come up with a plan soon.
discogranny, I'm having similar feelings about our second IVF - $20,000 maybe one or two embryos, that we don't even know if they can implant even if they are chromosomally normal, because of my history of adenomyoma.
It seems like some men hold on to hope of a natural pregnancy for a lot longer than we do. I hope you guys can come to a resolution soon.

My boobs are so sore this month. I always thought it was because of the progesterone, but apparently it is also caused by the trigger shot. H likes it because they are bigger, but ugh I wish it would stop already.
It's been a crazy morning. I'm just logging in now at almost 2pm!
Had my progesterone/estrogen bloodwork this morning and everything looks good. I am really disliking these PIO shots, but it is what it is. Somehow I managed to stab myself in the finger with the needle before I injected it! It wasn't terrible, but enough to draw a little bit of blood! I'm a mess
spearmintleaf - I get ya 100%! When's your betas? I'm 4dp3dt but still have to wait until next Friday!

Yeah @meepmeep, I get it. Sometimes I wish I could just deal with this by myself, so I don't have to worry over someone else's feelings and time lines and money and whatever. Which makes me feel like a crappy person, because I love my H so much and want to do this with him, but its so hard.

This is a XP from GP, but I saw my RE today to discuss our plan for IVF:
And all in all, it was a pretty good appointment.
She did an U/S to look at my bad tube and she said she doesn't think it has to come out right now - but, once we starts stims that can cause it to get worse so we'll have to keep an eye on it and if she thinks it has to come out, it will. Makes sense, and I'm happy we don't have to do it now.
We go to IVF class on April 7 then back to the RE on the 15th to get the ball rolling. Eek! I'm looking forward to the class and also to reading an IVF book I just ordered, I know some general info about it but now it's time to expand that knowledge. I'm excited to finally have a plan but obviously also a little nervous (mainly I think I'm worried about it not working).
HoneySpider - glad you had a good appointment! I've pretty much learned everything about IVF from asking lots of (sometimes probably stupid) questions on here!

Meep, your post upthread about the two reasons is so articulate and really resonates with me. Both H and I are still in that spot, but about donor eggs. I'm pretty confident I'll come to terms and get excited at some point, but I'm not sure he will. I think so, but less sure. He just keeps saying "maybe we're not meant to be parents if that's what it will take." I also get insanely made that I have to make this decision based on money. Do I want to spend $30,000 for a shitty chance to get pregnant with my eggs or do I want to spend $40,000 for pretty good chance, but not guaranteed, to get pregnant with somebody else's eggs. And if I'm being totally honest--I'm scared that having a child with donor eggs will be a constant reminder of my IF and I want to have a baby so I can be DONE feeling IF.
You and me both on the cramps front belovedbride07. Yikes, it was BAD yesterday!
HoneySpider I'm so happy to hear that you are finally getting to move forward!
So, I had my day 3 testing yesterday at my new doctor's practice. He wanted to repeat the basic day 3 stuff because he doesn't always trust other lab's results. Anyways. Remember my saga of "Is this my period? Is ths spotting or day 1?" Well, it looks like I may have called it wrong. The nurse who was doing my antral follicle count said that my lining looked strangely thick for what I thought was CD2. The good news is she counting 10 resting follicles, whereas I'd only had 6-8 before (double digits--woo!). The bad news is that I will likely have to repeat most/all of the testing to ensure it's accurately taken on CD3. I'm waiting to talk to my nurse to know for sure. And then, just to further mystify me--my cramps were AWFUL last night. WTF.
So glad it's Friday. This has been a really exhausting week. I went to run group this morning, and kept up with some fast guys, woot. My pace has suffered some since I added in so much volume for marathon training, but having someone to chase really helps. We're looking at a house tonight after work. I think it has good bones, but as much as MH mocks the HGTV-type buyer who's like "I hate this paint!," he can't see past the cosmetic updates it needs. It's in a great neighborhood and has an awesome backyard with a pool. Mush likes.
I love my pool more than anything! My H has a big Weber grill and all summer it feels like a vacation at our house (but I am easy to please). In case you don't know all about this, be sure to ask about the type of pool the house has, when it was installed (liner pools only last 30-40 years for example), the quality of the pump system, etc. Our pool is on the old side and may need some updates in the next 10 years which can go up to 30k for a total replacement of everything.
That's a very good point! I was telling MH that we need to worry about whether it's an old pool, but I wasn't sure how quickly I'll be able to become an expert on them. I'm so glad to hear you like it! People I've told that we're looking for a house with a pool seem to either love it or hate it. And I had no idea that fixing it could be so much!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Chrysanthemum, I'm glad your new doctor seems so thorough! I'm sorry about the cramps, though. MH has had a hard time accepting my DOR diagnosis and what it really means, too.

Hugs to all those who need them today.
So i don't know if y'all remeber me saying months ago h had been put in for a well known award. (months meaning like last octoberish time frame when things happened) We have pretty heard nothing other than about 2 months it was finally sent up to the big wigs i think, if i am remembering correctly.

Of course if could be about something comepletely unrelated lol.
Tonight is nachos night! And we are goign to an event.
HoneySpider, I cannot like your post about IVF enough (not sure how I missed that you were moving on to it). I'm creating this post, just so I can like it again. I am so happy that you have a plan in place and I'm so hopeful for you.
