Wow, this is where everyone went. It took me a day. Lol. Hope everyone is well. No wicked witch here still. So i am now debating if i should take a test. It was due on the 17th. and no signs of it showing. Baby Dust to all.

Hey ladies, thanks for all the concern about my back. I'm fine, I have a nasty bruise on my lower back/butt and I am sore all over, as if I were in a car accident. I'm good. My biggest fear as I was laying there on my back was having to go get x-rays or breaking something and that affecting my month. All is well. I seem to get clumsy when I am feeling low, so it did not surprise me one bit that I fell. I think about three or four days ago I walked into a wall. Can you say distracted????? JCR-I now have Blue Cross/Blue Shield, so I am going to check first to see who is on my list. I did not think any insurance co. would pay for infertility issues of any kind. Good to know! And just my two cents.....my doctor told me to BD on days 12, 14, and 16 so I intend to try it on 10,12, 14, and 16. Last month I had EWCM on day 13 though, so I have been wondering how much not having sex that day might have played a role in not getting PG????What do yu guys think? CC--my last dose of clomid is tonight, thank God. Please don't feel out of touch, like I said before, just BD around when you think you're fertile even if you are not on meds. You never know what can happen, and you can at least know that you tried a little. I don't know, but we need you here even if you feel out of touch.Lor--I am doing clomid, robitussin, and baby aspirin--that's it. Last month the doc said my day 21 progesterone was 32.6. Very high, responded well, doesn't think I need anything else. Who knows. Belly RUUUUBBBSSS!

D--I say test, it won't hurt. I tested 5 times last month, all obviously BFN. Each time I saw a BFN I was a little disappointed, but it also made me realize that AF could show at any time and I would have to be OK with that. AF showed on the fourth day that I was late. I was not Ok with that depite my mental preparation!!!

Hey everyone. Tomorrow is the day that DH is going to give sample. Do you guys know about how long it takes to find out the results?

CC, Sorry you are feeling out of sorts. Don't feel out of touch with this thread. You probably have more chance than all of us!! I was on metformin b4 I saw RE. I went in today for ultrasound-just to check. Nothing to report. Looks like I'll probably be late ovulating again. I am starting to get down about this ttc'ing. Everyone in my family is too fertile, why me?? It really sucks. Tracy-I'd call the insurance company-they sent me a letter saying everything that is covered. Lynn, how is the femara treating you? Seems like we are all a bit down the last few days. I guess it's the over analyzing we do while we are waiting to see if we ovulate. I don't know which is worse the 2ww b4 or after o'ing. I know I am always on edge wondering when or if it is going to happen. Yeeeeesh. Anyways.... Big hugs and belly rubs.

Emm, my DH took his in at 830 AM and they told him it would take like two days. Perhaps all labs are not the same though. I then had to get the results from the doctor (OB/GYN) who ordered the test. I just talked to him on the phone.

Tracy-A lot of insurance's will pay for all or partial infertility treatments. Always good to read your benefits or call them to verify. It would be shame to have something done that was covered but that they wont pay because you didnt get it authorized or something. Tracy, I think as long as you bd BEFORE you O, then you should be ok, and you did your best. Thanks for the kind words from you too. It does make me feel better and not so hopeless. Being off all the drugs, etc is great, but you do have a sense of "Now what!?" We will still try and have fun and thats all we can do I guess. Glad you are ending the Clomid round..By Sat or Sun you should be feeling like your old self again, or at least better!

EMM-When my dh gave both his samples, it took about a week to get the results back, and the 2nd time I had to call my OB (who ordered) as no one ever called me..Have him ask the lab when he goes, they should know how long it will take to get the results, and if you dont hear back by the time they give, you should call.

jcr, I missed your post too. I dont know whats wrong with me today, I really feel out of whack. I agree w/ you about feeling down, and for some reason I feel like I could chop my dh's head off for really no reason. Its almost like pre-PMS and I hope I wake up tomorrow feeling like myself.

This new thread is already so long!

Anyone know if there is a better way that we all can keep in touch ? Some other kind of forum or chat place ? Just a thought..

Hey...I am so lost posting at night. I feel like I have missed most everything for the day. Femera seems to be doing okay. Before I left my old OB...he said to BD from cd 10 - cd 22 (every other day). My RE said dh count is fine and if we BD'd every other day until seeing EWCM then daily..we would be fine. New RE said dh is fine and whatever and whenever and as much as we could do. I think you should just check with your OB or RE for advice. I am on cd 6 and no more sign of AF. So I figure we will begin BDing on Saturday and go from there. check back later....

Hey Ladies, How much robitussin a day? I know the witch is going to show her face. I know we have a problem some where just have to find it. I keep getting yelled at by my parents. "Stop trying so hard" it will happen. That drives me nuts. Still no af... Baby Dust to all. Tracy I know the back pain. I fell down my first apartment stairs and well physical therapy was everyday after that. I fell down wooden stairs outside and didn't stop until i got to the concrete. And it was because it was icy. That is very painful.

D--I'm sorry, but I was laughing as I read your post because I have been laughing about my own fall ever since it happened. It always sounds funnier than it really is and wow, your fall does not sound pretty. At least you had an excuse; it was icy.... I fell because I was just clumsy! I'm sorry to hear you had to go to therapy and everything. As far as the robitussin is concerned, I don't even know how much to take. I don't really like it, so it's been like once or twice a day. Yesterday I took Mucinex since it's in pill form, but I only took one. It may not be enough. I think I read on another thread that some girl was taking it like three times a day. I still don't think my CM is affected by the clomid, but I'm no doctor so who knows. I have an appointment on Tuesday for my post-coital test, he'll let me know then if I am a sperm-killer or not. D--if you don't mind me asking, how old are you and how long have you been TTC?

Elyse--I'm sorry, I never welcomed you to the thread! Glad to have you!

Hey Tracy, I am 27 and have been ttc this is our 11th month now. I laugh about my fall too. Oh wait and about 2 months ago i slipped on my socks and went down my carpeted stairs inside the house. LOL. i forgot about that. And dh was outside when it happened and he came back in and saw me at the bottom. LOL. I have wondered if i might be a sperm killer. I just can't figure it out. how about you. age? ttc if you don't mind? Lots of baby dust to all.
