Jen - it's good to see you post again. I think of you and Sarah as the IVF pioneers of the group. Not necessarily good I know - but it helps light the way for the rest of us.
Rebecca - Good luck with the HSG!! Hoping for clear tubes! Christina - Why did you change your ticker?? What happened? DH & I got invited to vegas at the end of month - and I was already planning what I was taking. OUr room would be paid for at the Red Rock. Like hellllo. DH gave me the "disapproving dad" look. And said if we go to Vegas we won't have the money to do the IUI in March.  OKay fine - let me put my life on hold again while I continue to wait to get pregnant. A part of me realizes that time is of the essence here. But I want to go and be sinful.

I didn't see this thread until just now. Man, I guess it's hard for me to admit to "infertility" as well, but that's what we've got, so I guess I'll just accept it. It was very strange at my doctor's appt to hear my doctor say "unexplained infertility". Ouch. It's been over a year, and no baby, so I guess I qualify.
Rebecca, I said this in the TTC over 6 months thread, but I hope your HSG goes well today. My HSG was super easy, so I hope yours is just as quick and painless. It's another thing to check off on the "unexplained infertility" check list. Tomorrow I have my ultrasound to see if I still have cysts. If I do, I think my doctor will probably not give me clomid. I'm waiting to confirm ovulation so I can start the progesterone supplements. If I'd listened to my doctor I'd be starting them today, before ovulation.  Out of curiousity, at what size do follicles usually release the egg? I'm going to try and get my ultrasound tech to tell me what my follies look like tomorrow if I don't ovulate today.

Rebecca~ I do hope your hsg is easy and painless, with open tubes. Thanks for stalking my temps! I HOPE that is what it means!!!
Bets~ OOOO Vegas... I have never been, but would LOVE to! Em~ I am not sure about regular cycles, but my RE wanted my follies at atleast 18mm before I triggered. SO, I am guessing by the time the trigger went into effect the follies were about 20mm...

Thanks girls. I'm hoping I'll have at least one nice big one, like at 18 mm or so. Then I will know it's time to hop on board the BD train.
 I'm having wet CM, but I never get EWCM, so I'm going to bust out the preseed tonight I think. I only have 3 applications, so I'm hoping I'll O on CD16, like normal, and can get in my CD14, CD15 and CD16 loving and be covered. Truth is, I'm so tired of going to the doctor's office, but what else can I do? We do what we gotta...

Rebecca, hope everything goes smoothly!
Girls, I understand why you came over here to this side. I can understand to a small degree of how the newbies & their quick BFPs bother you. Just please don't leave us on the TTC side! Many of you are like my teachers in helping me figure out what my body is doing & have opened my eyes to so many things I didn't know before TTC. Until I really needed my body to work to get pg, I didn't care what was going on. I know the newbies that will come through will need your wisdom like I did. I had a broad view of a woman's anatomy, but I now have a deeper understanding which will make me even more grateful for my BFP (whenever that may be) all thanks to many of you. I know some of you are struggling, so I just wanted to let you know that I do appreciate you & even through your hard times, you have been helping me.

Cristina, I think this is a really good idea. After 2 losses and eight months of clomid with no success over the past two years (we’re closing in on the date we conceived the first time two years ago – only about a week to go), I’m coming to terms with the fact that I am having an infertility problem. I guess its why month after month of clomid, I never went back to the doctor. I just knew it would work. An insurance chick said something to me about ‘not covering infertility’ when a small charge appeared on a bill to my house that didn’t get covered, and I almost went through the phone and ripped her face off. That was probably four months ago, though.
I’m struggling with thoughts of what I ‘should’ have done, and everything in my life is so upset right now, so I’m in a pretty good state of confusion. But DH and I are feeling our way along, carefully and painfully. He’s made a pretty big mess, and we’ve been facing some terrific odds since we got together, but I have a lot of faith. And I still have to deal with this progesterone issue. So, I think my new plan is to stay off the clomid, at least for the next two months or so, and find another way for the progesterone boost. I’ll check out the supplements you can get at whole foods, I have a number for an herbal store expert. I’m not sure what happens from here. I know I’ve got a little time to think.

Well, I'm back. That just downright sucked! I like to consider myself as one with a decent tolerance for pain but OMG! It was like the most excruciating menstrual cramp ever. We did see the dye come out of the tubes, I just hope that all of that pain meant that there was some mucous blocking something in there.
Pamela - We'll still be reading the TTC side..... we'll still be around to help! Emily - I can only hope now that everything is 'clean' in there maybe I will get pg. I hope you have great u/s results with nice big fat follicles (not too big and fat, though)...you know what I mean! |

Rebecca, sorry your HSG sucked. I guess I was really lucky. Hopefully it did clean out the tubes for you.

Thanks girls. I have to admit, though, it was neat seeing my insides...
For those of you who remember the picture taken, was the dye in the tubes just a little line?? I guess I was expecting to see more 'dye' in the tubes. Maybe the tubes are just that much smaller than I thought?? Just looked like they drew a line with a ballpoint pen. |

Rebecca, the tubes are really tiny. They dont want to see them big because that can mean adhesions. Then you just see the swirls of dye coming out. That's how the doctor explained it to me anyway, the swirls mean they're open and emptying correctly.

Rebecca~ Yes, exactly! It was just a skinny line going through my tubes and I couldn't help but to wonder if it was supposed to be like that or more like the size of a wire. I'm glad you asked that question b/c I thought that at the time and forgot about it 'til you asked that.
