Back to TTC.

[tuie]

I just got my BFP on Saturday and yesterday afternoon I started bleeding and cramping really bad. Im am almost positive I miscarried. So here we go again back to TTC.

[dcgroves]

Good luck to both of you guys! Sending lots and lots of baby dust your way.

We all get tired sometimes.... We get tired of the tests, the u/s's the stress, the poking the prodding, the tears and disappointment.... But, my saying is " if I keep going... if I just try 1 more time.... I have a 50% chance of having a baby, achieving my dream... if I stop, I have 99% chance of not having one"  so.... I keep enduring.  
I keep saying (in my mind...never out loud) that if my FET doesn't work tomorrow.... maybe I'll just walk away.  But Can I really?  I doubt it.... I'm on this rollarcoaster now for the long haul... We have to be right?

We will pray for you!!!!!

I hope you get Your BFP this month too!!!!!  We have to Believe God will hear our prayers.

SSBD to both of us!!! : )

Ok here we are again ttc for the 4rd time.. I am praying and hoping that works this time. On March 20 i took my hcg shot and i am hoping it did work i had a few follicles but only 3 or 4 got to the right sizes one was 16/18/19 so keep praying for me i really getting tired. so i am hoping this is the last for us to post in here,

[mhv]

Thanks!  I need all of the prayers I can get!  Have fun : )

[tuie]

I will be praying for you too. GL.

Today is O day for me. And thank god my dh came last night. Let the BDing begin. Swim spermies swim.

[mhv]

I go to the RE on Thursday the 18th, and if everything looks good, FET on March 23.  I am anxious to see what is game plan is this time.  I did notice on my paperwork, that the # of embroys to thaw was a ? this time.  The past two times he has thawed out 4.  Don't know what that means, but should be interesting to find out.  We have 11 left.   I am praying 1000x's a day for God to grant me my wish this time!!!! : )  
SSBD!!!

[tuie]

We too have been praying like crazy. In church last week, we had a group prayer lead by the pastor. Praying for him to give us the baby we desire so much. It was so nice. So where are you in your cycle now? Any new plans?

[mhv]

ok, well.... I say we say.... We ARE going to be belly buddies : P    I am praying like crazy!!!!  I get more optimistic every day!  I just hope our dreams come true!!!!  My mom cooked a turkey yesterday, and my DH and I made a wish on a wishbone... I won, so may it will come true! *although I'm pretty sure he wished for the same thing ha ha!*

[tuie]

Yes I am hoping for some luck this month. That would beawsome if we both get our BFP this month. Then we could be belly buddies.

[mhv]

Ha ha, yeah, that could be a problem : )  Well, Hopefully, it will happen SOON!  I wish you the best and a BFP!!!   If we both have success this month, that would be SO Awesome!!!!  GOOD LUCK!  You will have the luck of the Irish on your side with Wednesday being ST Patricks Day : )

[tuie]

I have seen it. But I dont think I need it. I am really regular. I always O on either cd 15 16 or 17. Pin potinting O I have no problems with. Its getting my husband home on the day I O Im having trouble with.

[mhv]

Have you ever thought about the ov watch?  I know it's pretty expensive, but I've heard good things about it : )  Just an idea

[tuie]

Thank you for the info. That is exactly what we have planned for this month. We will BD sunday morning and wednesday morning. I O on wednesday. I hoping good timing will do the trick.

[mhv]

Yep, I'm Like you... the baby can come on Christmas day now for all I care!  As long as I get one... or two : )    

I received this email yesterday and thought of you : )  Thought I'd share... Couldn't hurt, Might Help..... I'm sure you have probably read 1,000 things on this but thought I'd share anyway.

Timing is everything. Sperm can live for two to three days, but the egg is around for only 12 to 24 hours. To increase the likelihood of conception, it's important to have intercourse more than once around the time of ovulation. It is a good idea to have sex one to two days before ovulation and again on the day you ovulate. That way, there's more likely to be a healthy supply of sperm waiting in the fallopian tube when an egg is released.

Of course, exactly when a woman ovulates isn't altogether clear. It all depends on the length of your menstrual cycle. A woman typically ovulates about 14 days before her next period — not mid-cycle, as is commonly held. If you have a 28-day cycle, which is the average, then you would ovulate halfway through your cycle. But if you have a 35-day cycle, you would ovulate around day 21, not day 17.

I think it would be kinda nice to have a christmas baby. Well really anytime. Im not picky anymore.

I really hope the ICSI works for you guys. You deserve to have a family.

[mhv]

We just didn't want a Christmas baby.... But like I just told my friend, even if we did wait till April to try again, I may get pregnant with twins, and then I'd wouldn't be able to go full term, and have it in Dec anyway!  ha ha!
  My DH's count was around 28million which I guess is really low.... it only takes 1, but for some reason none of those 28 million could find there way, they weren't very "healthy either".  We did 1 iui, which led to my whole discust with first RE, and led me to our new one.
We actually did ICSI with our IVF too, to make sure we got lots of fertilized eggs.  I just pray that this next time works!!!!  I am starting to feel better about it day by day.  

[tuie]

They never could find a for sure reason for the blockage. But they think it was from an infection going undetected and untreated. It caused enough scar tissue to create a blockage. Yes he had surgery on Oct 29th. 3 weeks after surgery he had swimmers present in his sample but they didnt count them. 3 months post surgery his SA showed 8.6 million. So now we are supposed to get another SA in April to make sure his count is going up. I really hope we dont need another SA and that cycle will be the one.

Why not December? I dont care when my baby is born. I just want a baby. I dont think I want another born in May. My birthday is may 7th and my DD is May 8th. We are constintly butting heads. But if thats what God decides for me then so be it.

[mhv]

My AF started saturday, my plan is to either go this month for a FET on the 23rd, or postpone until April.  I can't decide.  I had posted on another thread that the only thing my hubby and I have said in our 71/2 yr journey is we didn't want a December baby.  So, I thought, What a better guarentee of our FET working then to do it in March for a December baby! ha ha!  Out of curiosity, what kind of blockage did you DH have and did they operate?

[tuie]

I dont share with my family either. Only my TTC friends online. Thanks to the internet.And my hubby or I would be lost and confused.

So where are you in ur cycle now? Whats your plan?

[mhv]

It is truley a blessing.  I don't know what I would do without him.   Everytime we get "bad news" he lets me cry, brushes me off, and says... it'll work next time : )  After my miscarriage, he said "ok, we're going to be sad today, but tomorrow, we are going to be happy for getting to try again."  I don't think he knows how much I rely on him to keep me sane.     Well, him and the girls on here!  ha ha!!!!!!!    I don't share a lot with my friends/family so this is a great outlet for me : )

[tuie]

Isnt it great having such a wonderful man in your life. If it wanst for him I dont know how I wouldve made it through so much. And he is so great, every little thing I ask he does. He is eating healthy, taking vitamins and bding when I say and not when I say no. But he says "whatever it takes." If he wasnt so great I wouldnt have a chance.

I think Im going to stick with my dr and give it some time. If his count hasnt improved next SA I will ask again about IUI.

[mhv]

Thank you for the kind words!  They are much appreciated : )  I pray about 100x's a day that God will bless me with my own bundle of joy!  I think he'd give me one just so he doesn't have to hear me bug him so much! ha ha!  
You know, it doesn't hurt to get a 2nd opinion, especially if you have the option of going somewhere close.  I mean, if your comfortable with your Doc that's fine too. But the next 4 months will FLY buy too... so just keep trying and having fun with it : )     It sounds like you have a wonderful hubby, like mine!  How many men would go through what ours has??  Just for the chance of having a baby : )  I think we are both very very luck!  (although, we ended up using ICSI anyway, but who woulda known?)

[tuie]

Wow that does sound like a long hard road. Im sorry you have to go through all this. But the day you hold your little bundle of joy it will all be so worth it. I will be praying for FET #3 to be the lucky one for you. GL. I have been debating on finding a new dr. But everyone I talk to seems to agree with my dr. Its just going to take some time.

[mhv]

Yeah, It's been a long road!  We've tried clomid, iui, and now ivf...actually, FET.   my hubby had a blockage removed also, and has testosterone issue along with count/swimming issues.  we have taken time off in -between my clomid/iui.  I just had to walk away for a while. My first RE upset me w/the whole hubby thing (they didn't check for male issues), and I quit for a couple of years.  Found a New RE 2 hrs from our house.... like them much better... they listen to what I want to do which I like.  I told them exactly what I wanted, and they didn't try and steer me in another direction, which I was very, very happy about.  We actually conceived our first FET, but I miscarried do due build up in my uterus.  Our Last FET came back a BFN, I kinda thought it might, because the embies didn't thaw very well.  No one has control over that I guess, only God.  So, now on try 3rd try..... Hopefully it's a success!!!!  we have 11 embroys frozen left for us to try with.
