TTC 30-SOMETHING CHATTY THREAD-Falling for BFP's

Chat away, girls!

Good Morning girls. Hope you all had a nice weekend.

We did. It was a beautiful fall weekend here in NC. I love this weather!!!

So I went in this morning for another follie check. I tell you, this is bringing back bad memories but I will still do it to get another baby. Anyway, I had 2 good size follies on my RIGHT (which is my good side) and then 2 smaller ones but still measurable on my LEFT (my lazy left). I think according to what they called out there was 17,16 on the R and 13,14 on the L. Lining was 10 halo.
We covered some bases this weekend. Friday night and then again last night. We will dtd again tonight and then tomorrow morning before Mike leaves for a business trip. He won't be back until Wednesday night late. Maybe in time to dtd again. I go back in on Wednesday (I think) for another scan and hopefully a

trigger. That way we can make sure to get it in the right time.
Aren't you glad you all know when we dtd and will dtd over the next few days!!!

So that is my plan!!! Very excited!!!

Hello all,

Just got back from my follie scan, I got to good ones on the right 20 and 19 and 16 and 17 on the left and some small ones at 3 and 4 and my lining was 9.8 and she said that was a great number, they like to see it over 7.

So I will trigger tonight with Ovidrel, then the IUI on Wednesday morning

RE said if I am not pregnant this cycle, she wants to schedule a lap and hysteroscopy

for a

Good luck on your follie scan and IUI Kelli, we are cycle IUI buddies.

Angie, those are great numbers on follies and lining.

Sounds like you will be prego in no time.

racechick24 · #6 (**permalink**) 10-02-2006, 09:44 AM

Teece...sorry about you and your DH. I hope you can work things out and everything will be fine.

Could some of this be because of the TTC and the issues there? Glad the wedding was nice.

Lindsay...feel free to give us the scoop about DTD anytime!

Sounds like you'll have your bases covered! It also sounds like you've got some good follies growing in there!

Janay...Have fun today! I haven't been outside yet except for coming in to work...but it's suppose to be nice here all week!

Angie...wonderful follie scan! Sounds like you've got a great shot this month! I'm hoping I've got more than a couple follies as there is definately a difference with 100mg vs. 50mg. I"m still having hot flashes!

! My IUI will probably be on Wednesday, based on previous cycles. I'll know more later this afternoon!

Me...finishing stuff on my desk. I've got about another hour and 1/2 at work.

BBL!

Angie-

those are some great follies and that lining is great too

I see a BFP coming soon

Kelli-

today sweetie! Hot flashes are no fun, but I think you will have some great size follies.

I can't believe how we all are really cycle buds this month too.

Mely1015 · #9 (**permalink**) 10-02-2006, 12:27 PM

Good Morning,

How is everyone doing, I need to go back and catch up. We came back last night from the wedding. We had a good time and the wedding was beautiful. I finally got my period yesterday and the witch hasn't been nice, having the worst cramps ever, but at least she is here so I can relax. Here are some photos of my DD, she was the flower girl. She did a good job and looked so cute in her dress!

...I'm back from my follie scan.

Probably not so good news...I'm pretty much bordering OHSS!

I've got a follie/cyst that is 50mm (or 5cm)

...one more measuring around 20mm and another measuring about 16. So, I won't be taking anything higher than 50mg again...per dr.'s orders. I just wonder what injectibles would do to me!

I will go in on Wednesday morning for an IUI. I was given the info on OHSS and what to watch for. I'm downing Gatorade right now!

So, this cycle isn't starting out very good. I will have to get an u/s on cd3 if I do get

to ensure the cyst is gone. If it isn't, I'll have to sit out cycle.

I'm considering calling the RE and making an appt for next month and just shelling out whatever money I have to have a baby!

tarheelbaby2b · #11 (**permalink**) 10-02-2006, 05:33 PM

OUCH!!! That doesn't sound like fun. I thought once you triggered that you wouldn't get OHSS. But what do I know...
Hang in there girl!!!

Mely, sorry the

isn't treating you right!!! That sucks. She wasn't too bad to me this month. Maybe you are her bad month victim

racechick24 · #12 (**permalink**) 10-02-2006, 06:13 PM

Lindsay...maybe you're right.

I did get the trigger tonight so let's hope it stops growing. I'm guessing it's a cyst left over from last cycle...

. I'm still drinking lots of water and gatorade. He said I could have a lot of pain when the cyst ruptures so I'm

that it doesn't hurt.

In the meantime, I'm calling the RE tomorrow...I think it's officially time to move on.

brownsuga · #13 (**permalink**) 10-02-2006, 07:57 PM

Oh Kelli, I am so sorry about your follie/cyst I have never heard of that before. How does that happen?

everthing turns out ok and your IUI is successful. Yeah!! go ahead and call and set up an appointment with an RE, I was sick and tired of my OB, infertility issues wasn't her specialty so she referred me to my RE.

Mely: Oh your daughter is so adorable in her dress, so sorry

is messing with you, I hate her so much she just needs to stay away for nine months very soon!! for all of us.

Lindsay: Great follie scan report, good luck this cycle.

Me: Just triggered about 30 minutes ago, it was very quick and easy. I am feeling so good about this cycle, I can feel my follies tingling right now, I am going to try and not obsess when we are in Gatlinburg during my 2ww, I don't think I will take any HPT, I will test if

doesn't show.

Hi girls,
Have posted on here from time to time but had a break from the whole baby thing last cycle as was getting really upset.
Sure I don't need to explain to you girls just how hard it is and how easy it is to get obsessed.
I am currently CD14 and got a + OPK this morning so we will be bd tonight!! Would have liked to last night but DP was so knackered he fell asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake him.
Hope we catch that eggie but I'm afraid we will leave it to late.
It's my step sons 11th birthday today so perhaps the gods will be kind to me!!
I wish you all lots of luck this month and hope it all goes ok!

racechick24 · #15 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 08:07 AM

Jo...

! Yeah, there are a lot of us that feel the same way as you do but I've found that these boards really help!

to you this cycle. Keep posting with us...this board has been kind of slow lately so we'd love to have you stick around!

Angie...

for your IUI tomorrow. Mine is at 7:30am so hopefully I will go well but like I said before, I'm not counting anything for this cycle as I think it's a bust, especially with the cyst.

Me...Just called the RE's office...I have an appt next Tuesday at 10:30am for another consult (I had seen him before a few years ago). At first, they said I could call them back on cd1 and go with the protocol that I had been given a couple years ago when I first consulted with him but it was just clomid/IUI again and I think I need something else so she suggested another consult. Then she said we should know what to do about next month. Bad thing is driving the 2 to 2 1/2 hours to get there but I guess me and DH could make it worth our while and go shopping and

afterwards!

hopeful gal · #16 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 08:17 AM

Jo-welcome back I hope you stick around and I agree these boards are great and we are all here for support. Good luck this cycle

Kelli...I am glad you are moving on to a RE (again) I hope the cyst goes away.Keep drinking!!

Angie...I am praying so hard for your BFP!!!! I am really excited for you this cycle

Michelle....How are you doing?

Teece...thinking about you

Lindsay...good luck tomorrow!! I see a BFP coming!

Janay

Mely1015 · #17 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 11:07 AM

Angie thanks and good luck in your IUI hope that you catch that egg this month!

Jo welcome!

Kelli hope that cyst goes away and good luck with your RE.

Linsay are you having an IUI this month?

Teece how are you doing?

Janay what about you how are you doing?

Please lets see some BFP this month!!!!

from me AF still here with some cramps maybe if I am lucky she will be gone by tomorrow!

racechick24 · #18 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 04:05 PM

Janay...I feel a bit of relief about going to the RE next week!

I really don't want to do this IUI tomorrow but I need to finish this cycle even though I think it's a bust before it even starts. I'm looking forward to be coming a Pincushion! Only thing I'm worried about is he'll say we have to move right to IVF. I want to give IUI a few more tries with injectibles. I probably should have moved on sooner but some of the delay was because of DH. He didn't think we needed to move on but after yesterday's office visit and our long talk last night, I've finally convienced him that it's time. I signed up for a program at Fertility Lines.com and they work close with Freedom Drug. They are suppose to help you work with your insurance company and see if they will cover any drugs at all. It's worth a try I guess.

Mely...Sorry

is still with you! I'm just waiting for pain any second now from the cyst/follie!

Me...I stayed home and DH just took Isaiah to soccer practice. I didn't feel really like going...I'm so bloated! My jeans are killing me and I've gained like 4lbs in 2 days! Anyway, IUI is tomorrow at 7:30am so I'll post after it...hopefully I'll be just fine like I was last time...

tarheelbaby2b · #19 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 06:03 PM

No IUI for me. I can't talk DH into it since we did Evan w/o anything and after 2 years TTC....so unless we make it till Oct 2007 w/o a baby then no IUI here. I think we can do it....
