BFN this morning

[SueGre]

I really wasn't expecting much. I mean, it's 10 dpo, and I'm 41 and have diminished ovarian reserve. I know it's not over till the witch shows her ugly self, but I'm not counting on anything. We will continue to try! I will do another round of Clomid and keep going to acupuncture. We have a telephone consultation on Monday with an adoption agency. It's good to get that process started. :0)

[stillwaiting52]

Yes, it is early Sue. I hope you get your BFP soon! I am 1 DPO now and am only doing 1 more round of Femara if this month doesn't work out. Are you also taking a trigger shot? Adoption is a great option though! Best wishes in however you get your child!!

[SueGre]

I'm pretty sure AF is coming in a day or two. My forehead always gets oily before she comes. Pg symptoms do mock AF symptoms, though...

I didn't do a trigger shot, as I O on my own and we didn't do IUI or anything. My RE said there's only a 3% difference between doing IUI and trying on our own.

It's funny, but before Rob and I even met, when I was much younger, I always thought I would adopt. I am adopted and one of my brothers is adopted and we have wonderful loving, supportive parents.I always thought it would be the route I would take.

I wish you a BFP very very soon!

[babyprayers]

why not try IVF with donor, I cannot imagine it would cost any more then adoption, I mean if you want the whole pregnancy thing, I used donor and got twins

[SueGre]

We would, but IVF is not guaranteed. With adoption, of course, you only pay if you get a baby. I would love to be pregnant again but it doesn't matter to me. Your twins, by the way, are gorgeous :0)

[rdh1981]

Oh man, this bites! But like you said it is still early!!! Hopefully you will get that BFP!! Congrats with going through with adopting!! Any child would be so lucky to have you and Rob as parents!!!

Cruz and I still have everything crossed!

[Helen72]

I wish we all had resources to cover all of our infertility treatments.
So sorry about bfn  :(

[SueGre]

Rachel - I'm just picturing Cruz crossing his tiny little fingers. So cute!

Helen - You and me both. It's okay about the BFN. It really is.

[anxious71]

I am so happy, after all that cramping, back aches, leg pain, and watery discharge continually, my day 14 has arrived and I just got my BETA results, positive.....I wish all you luck, and hope you can all feel what I am feeling today.....

[usuk]

I am excited to hear about Monday. I'm adopted too. Hope it's just you and Robert on the call. Tell Aunt Flo to go play cards at the senior center. Hang in there Sue.

[SueGre]

Hahaha! You totally crack me up! Thanks for that :0)

[SueGre]

I'm feeling pukey and my gums on the left side of my mouth is sore. I just bit down and it really hurt. I floss religiously every day. Also, I have a funky taste in my mouth.

[usuk]

That taste could be hormones. Especially if you took meds.

[SueGre]

I didn't know that. Interesting...

[babyprayers]

ahhh right you are sue... I pray often for you, someday it will come your way, you will see,

[SueGre]

Thank you so much. It will happen. I'm sure of it. One way or another, it will happen.

[SueGre]

Usually I get chilly before AF comes, but I am SO warm today. What's up with that? I just feel like total poo today. Blech.

[ita17]

Sue, I've only been around here for a few months now, so I may have missed this but, have you tried injectable's?  Even though for my 2 rounds I did not get  pg, I think your chances of conceiving at "OUR" age is a bit higher, because you will produce between 2-6 follies.  I was just wondering;)
I think it's great to adopt, & I TOALLY understand the whole IVF $$$$ thing.  There is NO guarantee;(  That would be really hard to spend a lot of $$$ & no baby.
But if you haven't already done so & if your not pg right now, try going a bit more aggressive.  It COULD make a difference;)

Sorry about the bfn but it's not over yet..my sister had a metallic taste in her mouth with all her pregnancies.  
Adoption is a wonderful thing too.  As a matter of fact my mom is meeting the son she gave up for adoption 47 years ago today for the first time!!!!!  Best of luck whatever you decide.

[LadyCB]

Awesome.  It's celebration time.  Congrats to you on a BFP.  I too hope for one soon.  My bloodwork takes place next Friday, October 30, 2009.

[prevatt77]

I had a metallic taste in my mouth also with all my pregnancies.  It's not over yet and being warm could be a good sign too.  Take your temp first thing tomorrow morning before you do anything (talk, get out of bed..etc) and see what it is, if it's higher it's a good sign.  Don't give up, I was 41 went I delivered my son and I had 5 miscarriages prior to him.  Follow your dream....

My insurance won't cover anything fertility-related since my E2 was too high a year ago. I found this out on my 41st birthday. My RE won't prescribe injectibles without being monitored and we would have to pay for everything out of pocket. We can't take the risk of just throwing all that money away. I'm not being negative, just realistic.

[kikicoates78]

Oh I totally had a metalic taste with Addy, I was eating steak with my girlfiend and thought it was bad, after she tasted it she Dx me with me being PG. LOL BUT it was 17dpo and I was very negative and well you know the ending!!!! I'm still totally syched for you! :)

[SueGre]

I totally think I'm imagining the taste. I don't have any sensitivity to smells or anything. I am having wicked reflux, but being overweight causes that, too. The only thing is, I'm SO WARM. I literally cannot cool off! I'm so physically uncomfortable today.

[mlb1234]

Many reproductive clinics have an option that if you do not get prego with so many IVFs you will get a portion of your money back for adoption.   Something you could think about.
