Hey ladies my HSG is tomorrow!
I just wanted to ask you to say a pray for me if you have time, I would really appreciate it!
I am a nervous wreck. My words cannot express my anxiety/fear of having to get this done again! I swore I would never do it again but I have no choice.
I am taking a davorcet and a valium before going so hopefully I won't feel a lot but I don't know.
I am a nervous wreck, hopefully I can get some sleep tonite!
Thanks in advance ladies.
Nessa
Good luck tomorrow. Just remember fertility usually increases with a nice fresh canvass for the egg to implant into. Let us know how it goes. Hopefully this time it won't be as painful as the one you had before. I'll be praying for you.
Good luck tomorrow girly!!!! I will for sure keep you in my prayers I wish you all the best!!!!

I NEED sleep...
I had my hsg this morning and I am not going to lie it HURT. But not near as bad as the first time. I did cry but dang it HURT. My tubes are clear! It was over very fast. I had to roll from one side to the other as the dye was going through and I thought I was going to loose it. My kept telling me to put my hands on my chest but all I could do was raise my fists close them due to the pain! Re said he wants to go back to the meds next cycle Can't tell you how happy I am. He did say I still have the scar tissue on one tube but I guess that never really goes away even with the surgery?
He also said the nurse should be calling me later this week... dunno (maybe about next cycle?).
Anywho between work and the pain and nerve pill I got to crash!!
Thanks for the prayers and thoughts they mean so much to me!
Love,
Nessa
WOO HOOO....I am so happy you got the all clear. Sorry it was so painful.....thats horrible but worth it BIG HUGS!!!! I wish you every success this cy Sending lots of

Thank girls!
My re's nurse called today and said that all looked good on the hsg and there is some scar tissue on the right side but that will always come back, but both tubes are def. open, so that was wonderful news. She also said next cycle we are ready to go bumping me up 100iu for six day instead of the 75 iu (dunno why 75 always did the trick expect once I had to two more day of bravelle but I am keeping the faith that they know what they are taking about). I asked her more about the testing and she said the name of the testing was FACS (I got the bill and it was only $4.20 on my part ) and dh and I both testing positive for IGM. There is IGG and IGM (antibodies) so they asipirin and levenox starting on cd 18 WOO HOO sorry for the long post. I am just so thrilled and I know this is going to be a long time until cycling af ins't even due for 3 weeks! May 12th will be cycle day 35 were I can call in provera if I need it but I am just SOOO HAPPY to be getting things back together again.
BIG BIG BIG HUGS!!!!! HOLY MAN I am so very excited for you This is such great news. I cannot wait to follow your next CY!!! I am so happy they figured out what was happening....its sounds like you have a very solid plan and a high chance for success
Luv yas,

okay yea I said I feel pos. BUT know I just need pos. feeling and thoughts. Between the met/prenatal/ poss. prog. support/ aspirin/and two heparin or one levenox injections I will NEED to have a healthy pregnancy. IDK... If I can do all this!!
I feel like I can but I also feel like I have been through the ringer and honestly I feel like I am breaking down!!
Please know the only reason I am sharing this with this with you is because I know you all understand.
I will be okay BUT i am just really afraid right now of what is to come!!
I know all this helps create a blank "canvas" but I feel as if I cannot do all of this.
I know the end will be worth it but I am feeling really as if all of this is TOO much to deal with!!
I NEVER thought I would end up needing all of these drugs...
Honestly I feel like what IF this doesn't work.
I have never made it passed the second beta #!
NOT the right attitude to have (I totally believe in pos. thinking)
BUT come on how much more should one person have to deal with!?!?!
Sorry it is a self pity nite I suspose...
We are human and deserve those type of nights right?
*sigh*
It's going to be ok, sweetie. Your RE is on top of this. They know what it is now, and how to attack it. Just keep your positive attitude. It's important. You're going to make it through this seemingly impossible regimine of drugs and the result is going to be a healthy little baby in your arms before you even know what happened. I believe that just as sure as I know my own name. And who knows, next time - after you get this coming baby - you may get PG again and have a totally uneventful pregnancy with no intervention. Look what happened to me. I wasn't supposed to be able to conceive without the steroids - because my body would attack the foreign tissues and/or sperm themselves. But I did and in 2 months I will be holding another little miracle. Remember, as you already know, God is in control of this game of life. When he wants us to have these little blessings, there is no holding him back. Love you more than words and sending you a great big cyber !!!!
Shannon your words just made my eyes get some BIG O' tears of joy!!
I love you too. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. You are SO right God is in control. I am just having such a hard time dealing right now. I know that it will happen when it is suspose to but I just didn't EVER think it would come down to all of this (remember we didn't even want to do the meds/re). But thank God I did.((he has lead me down his path). I really do try to be positive but after all of this it is just so hard. I feel like I don't know what to do or think about the whole situation. But I will keep my faith and know that God has something VERY SPECIAL waiting for me and my husband. Even my Gma(my mom) told me today who knows after all of this you may start popping them out just like your mom did! (she has four kids!!)
Thank you so much, your words mean so much to me!! I need to just rest and wait up with a better outlook-
Sometimes I just wanna scream it is not fair, but I know that my gift from god awaits me and my husband. I just need a little pick me up...
Dust it off and move forward, no matter how hard it seems to be
Love ya' big ones!!
HI girly....BIG BIG HUGS!!!! I am sorry for the late replay!!! I agree with Shannon - when it’s meant to happen and supposed to be there will be NO STOPPING it and I also believe that as sure as I am sitting here you will have your little miracle in your arms before you know it. I know it feels so over whelming and like its taking so much to achieve this goal but once you are through to the other side you will have found such strength with in your self and your relationship with your DH that there will be NO STOPPING you guys or your family and you will be better for it. When you are in the middle of such darkness and struggle its hard to see the good but its there and you can always talk to us and vent and cry and scream....what ever you need!!! We are all here for you.
I have been in an extremely dark place lately myself as things are just not happening how I "planned" or "imagined" they would and when I was talking to my GF the other day she said something that gave me great strength. We were talking about feeling like I was stuck in the free fall or horribleness and that I had gone over the edge and could no longer see the light at the top of the pit I had falling down. I felt like I was done and had hit my breaking point and just could not do any of it any more and I asked her where does the strength come from? I mean I feel like I have NOTHING left but then it just appears and some how I make it through that dark min or hour or day I am having and I just keep moving forward as best I can and she said "THAT is the definition of strength!!!" That when you feel you have nothing left but you still keep going....that’s true and real strength and its makes us who we are. Some ppl never have to find that inner core but others do and there lives are so much richer for it. Until then I had never though of it that way.
This made me feel a bit better to think of it that way and to try and keep looking for the good. It’s so over whelming and when I feel I am free falling again and there is no hope I ask god to please help and stop the free fall so I can catch my breath. He always comes through in his way. I know you can do this girly!!! I truly wish you all the best and EVERY success....its hard now but it will make the prize so much sweeter. LOVE YOU!!!!
