Hello everyone. Sorry to have just disappeared. I have been busy doing my taxes. I hate doing taxes. I hate having to deal with people who don't cooperate about my 1099s. But, things are quiet in ttc land. AF showed up on Tuesday. Of course after the two tests and the news that we received on Friday. I was counting on it. The urologist is supposed to be checking DH's hormone levels and then scheduling followup. So far he has not called or sent the order for the ultrasound that he said DH needed as well. Slow going. Does anyone know a good site for really in depth info on IVF...especially the pricing part? My insurance covered my DH's first visit to the fertility specialist, so I am going to check and see if they cover anything at all. I haven't read any of the posts that I have missed. I will try to do it when the little one takes a nap. Best wishes!

I just called my insurance and we have no coverage for any type of infertility treatments! :(

BFP!!!! Confirmed by the bloodwork! I go in again on Monday to make sure everything is going up as it should. My symptoms have been quite strong for the last few days. I didn't have that when I m/c'd, so I am hoping this one is for real. I am really scared, but they are going to closely monitor me for the first while. CC, so sorry about your Dad. I am glad you are going to be with him and your step mom through this. And he'll live on through this baby your going to have soon! Lynn how are you hanging in there? Lori how are the cramps? Tracy how is day #2 going? Be easy on yourself, it is a very hard thing you are doing giving up smoking. Really nurture yourself through, it'll prepare you for your bfp. Ladies I want to thank you for all your kind words and support and want to keep up with everyone-if that is ok. I want to share the joy with each of you as you join in bfp's. Emm sorry about the insurance-like I said try to look into natural things. Find a good homeopathic pharmacy or chinese herbs. I think there is so much they can do and you do have baby #1 so there is plenty of hope. Bellyrubs and BIG HUGS!

JCR CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP!!!!!!!WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. alright one down how many to go? LOL. Well this month is without a doubt a bust. somehow dh never feels good when it is the crucial time to bd. nothing i can do. But congrats congrats

D, I am hoping I am starting the chain reaction and it all goes bfp's straight down the line!!! Thanks for your congrats!

JCR - C~O~N~G~R~A~T~U~L~A~T~I~O~N~S!!I am so happy for you and your DH!! At the rate of one a month - we should all have our BFPs within six months : ) Other than the obvious positive HPTs what other symptoms did you have, if any? YEAH, JCR is going to have a BABY!!! Of course you must stay with us, we insist, lol!!

I am in a euphoric state of shock and happiness for you JCR! Lori is right, if we can get at LEAST one BFP a month, then before we know it, we will all have babies on the way. I am refreshed again. Thank you JCR for the baby dust you just unknowingly sprinkled on all of us!!! and congratulations!!!!! I haven't even put my groceries away yet, that's how bad I wanted to know what happened today. CC--I am so glad your dad went to the hospital, ambulance or not. You mentioned previously that he was an alcoholic, I know how stubborn they can be. Best wishes to you sister soul. I'm going to put the food away and will check back in a little bit.

jcr....yeah, way to go girl!!!!!!! I am glad another one made it to BFP. Hey....are you going to continue to take metformin/glucophage through first trimester? My OB and RE both insisted on it (even though it is a type B drug) they both said there is no real research on anything happening to fetus. It would have to be a dang miracle for me this month. eggs on right....no tube....who knows. AF is due tomorrow and no sign of her. I have no symptoms except in the morning, I fell a little sick until I eat breakfast. Not reading into that seeing I always look into things and get a BFN. CC...glad you made a decision to go. You need that. I wish I could have done 2 weeks before my dad was killed over but....cannot live in the what if and what if not stage. EMM....I can relate to the insurance horror. I am so sick of the scams they have. I am researching how to file a complaint when changing coverage in the middle of a fiscal year. I did find out they will cover follistim if I never do another IUI. Go figure....Oh...jcr, I hope you do not leave us. We want to hear what happens during this pregnancy. It is a shame Deby left us. well...girls, need to do some wash. I'll check back later

Yeah, Jodi, if you leave us for good I'm gonna be pissed. We can live vicariously through you for a while. I want to hear all about it as it progresses even if you can't check in everyday. OK? Well, today is officially cd3 and nsd2. I will continue to post my non-smoking day thing because it makes me feel accountable somehow. You guys are a fabulous support team. When I get a craving though, I just think of my old eggs withering away and dying from the smoke. I FINALLY talked with my doctor at about 6:30. He said that he currently has no intention to put me on Glucophage for PCOS and that the lady who told me that was wrong. He said I responded very well to the clomid so I am to take 100 mg this cycle. This is supposedly my last cycle on clomid before we try something else. Oh, and he moved my HSG to Monday, which will be cd7. He said so far he doesn't think anything is wrong with my ovary, and that some months are just better than others and that is common. I hope he's not full of shit (excuse my gutter mouth). Gonna go watch a documentary with DH. Very sleepy today (due to bleeding my guts out!)

Congratulations JCR! I am so happy for you. I am glad that someone got a BFP this month!

jcr--YIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEE !!!! I knew your bfp was for real!! YESSSSSSSS!! I am sooo happy for you and dh..Of course you have told him already? What did he say ? Have you calculated your due date yet ? And of course we wont let you leave, just like EMM! You must stay and share your next 9 months with us!! YEAH! On another note, my Dad has pnemonia. Still waiting for further updates, but feeling much much better that he is getting medical attention and is where he needs to be. I think from what info I have that he is going to be ok. I dont know what we will we do as far as going out there now, time will tell in next few days.
EMM-Sorry about your insurance. Its all such crap, really. Seems like lots of us a dealing with insurances and the issues they give us. Like d said she hates Dr's, I hate insurance companies. Lynn, pulling for your bfp, it would be so cool if we got two bfp's this month!

Thanks so much everyone!! As Lori said one a month and in six months were all knocked up!!! It is just starting to all sink in. My Dh knows we were pretty sure this morning when I went in, but it's nice to be confirmed by blood work. And by the way it was 22 tests this month!!!!! How's that??? I go in again on Monday for more bloodwork to make sure everything is going up as it should. It's kind of nice being under a RE because they monitor you closely until it looks like you are good and pg then they turn you over to ob. My symptoms are nice and strong! I feel yucky pretty much all day, no vomitting, but you wonder if you'd just feel better if you could. It all started last week during our music class when I broke down during you are my sunshine. Then the bbs got really sore, like someone had rubbed them with sandpaper then pinched them for about 30 minutes. (Please don't ask how I know this-just kidding!) And I am soo tired, not just sleepy, but I can hardly lift my arms at night. I also get constipated sorry tmi! So I was pretty sure. I am not going anywhere, I am here until each one of you get's your bfp's then I get to hear the pregnancy stories, delivery stories and baby stories. Who's next???? Lynn, my fingers are crossed for the hag to get lost! Things would go much faster if it went 1 last month 2 this month 3 next month ....! Again thanks for all the kind words and I'll keep you all posted on everything! BIG HUGS AND BELLY RUBS!!!

Good Morning Ladies.. JCR Again MUch congrats.. :o)))))))------------- BIG snow storm on the way here. Yippeee. Can't wait. We were going to go to vermont but why go up there for the snow when we are getting the big one this weekend. Dh and I finally bd'd last night. I know we missed it all week though since he didn't feel good. who knows. sorry if this is tmi but we both o''''''''d at the same time. sorry but i think that might just be the way to help us. Lol. so happy we are finally getting snow here. Oh speaking of leaving. On a old thread i was on. Everyone got their bfps and then i was left and people drop in from time to time. But it was just me being left there. Just like I said 1 down how many to go?? Baby Dust and Happy Thoughts!!!!!!!!!

Good morning. I have horrible cramps today, and I hate it! DH found a infertility seminar for us to attend to find out any info that we can. So that was pretty nice of him. We are still waiting for the dr to get back with us about his bloodwork and to schedule the ultrasound. This is almost as bad as the 2 week wait! JCR- Being pregnant pretty much sucked for me, but try to enjoy it. I had to go on pills to keep my food down. It was horrible. But now that DH's dr is saying forget about it happening again I wish that I would have tried to enjoy it more. So just take all of those yucky symptoms as wonderful signs that your baby is doing exactly what it is supposed to do....take over your entire body. I am so happy that someone made it this month! Those of you who have done IUI...is 2 million enough? DH and I just don't think that 15000 (or more) is doable for IVF. The fertility clinic in Atlanta has some deal where you get 3 tries for 22,000. Which seems to be a good deal and all, but my car only cost like 3000. Well, I will check back later. Hope that all of you are well. Anyone else think a new thread is in order to celebrate the BFP???

Good morning ladies. How is everyone this morning?? EMM - I too would love to go IVF. But the cost is outrageous!! I swear I am going to start a telethon, lol!! Our insurance covers absolutely nothing, and that just sucks!! Well, I have my appointment for re-evaluation set up for the 14th. We shall see how that goes. Well, I am just about off to the dentist - at least there is nothing to worry about now, I can get all that work done. Take care ladies!!

JCR - why don't you go ahead and start the new thread. Maybe some of that baby dust will sprinkle down on us!!!
