a-An hsg is a hysterosalpinogram, where the doc inserts a catheter into your cervix and injects x-ray dye to see if your fallopian tubes are open. I had one done about a year ago and my tubes were open. I don't think I'll use the hpt this month. I want to "wing it". It gives me and dh a break from the stresses of trying to get pregnant. d-sorry to hear about your dog. I hope everything turns out for you and dh. Katie j- I hate it too that the symptoms for pregnancy and af are basically the same. I hope it's the former for you. I'm crossing my fingers we all get our bfp.

I got my fingers crossed for all of us, BFP coming our way . thanks sara for your good wishes on my dog.

good thursday morning to everyone! hope you're all having a great week. af is due for me on the 23rd, but like katie j, mine always comes sooner. i'm not taking any pg tests until the 23rd. i probably took 7 tests last month and cried 7 times. i'm trying to tell myself i'll be better this month. my boobs were really sore last night which is a sympton af is coming in the next week. sara -- i have not had an hsg done. reason being, insurance is not paying for any of our tests or procedures. iui's are $400 each and an hsg is $1200. dr suggested we try the iui's first and if they work, we would have saved
$1200. if i don't get pregnant this month, we'll probably schedule an hsg or whatever the dr recommends. justine -- hope you're feeling better. d -- i'm very sorry to hear about your dog. what kind of dog is she? we have a black lab and if anything happened to her, i don't know what dh would do. i love her too, but dh has a closer bond and he would be crushed. how old is she? bfp's for us all!!!

a, she is a boxer in which that makes her prone to cancer. she will be 7 years old in march. she is getting operted on tomorrow. they are going to remove the tumor and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the cancer isen't too bad.
As for the ttc this month i wasn't paying much attention to it. Right now my anxiety has come back since i am so worried about my dog. She is my child. And it is killing me. Not the time of year for it. I wanted to see if we could wait until after christmas to get her operated on. but the vet said we needed to do it right away. I hope everyone gets a bfp this month. Anyone who does don't forget about those of us that are still in this thread. I hope everyone is well. as said af is not due sometime between the 21-24 i think. my schedule is so messed up. my bb's hurt too so i know that witch is going to show her ugly face to me. Lots of Baby Dust to all.

Hi ladies. Thanks for all your good wishes about my m/s. Unfortunately yesterday it finally got too much and I had to go to hospital to get an IV drip put in as I was so dehydrated. I'm now on extra strong anti-nausea medication and the B6 shots so I'm hoping that's going to help. I am abit worried about taking this medication but I don't really see what other options I have as it's worse to be eating nothing and giving the baby no nutrients at all. As you can imagine I'm abit stressed right now! d - i'm sorry about your dog. i really hope that the op is a success and that they can help her. I'm sure you're all getting apprehensive now that testing time is approaching so I'm sending baby dust and calming hugs to all of you.

 

Katie J - December 15

D- I am sending good luck to your poor little boxer. I love dogs. It makes me so sad when an animal is sick. My cat was sick last week and it nearly killed me. I can't imagine finding out he had cancer. Justine- I can't believe you are so sick. Was your Mom this sick when she was PG? I hope the meds help. My heart goes out to you. I was just thinking we are all going to be wonderfull mothers! There is so much compasion on this link!

 

d - December 15

Hello all. I hope everyone is well. Katie J i agree that we will all make good mothers. Justine I sure hope the meds help.
I hope everyone is well. And please just in case i forget to mention Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays too all. I know the next few days is going to be tough with my dog getting her op tomorrow. Thanks for all your wishes. Baby Dust to all.

 

Mindi - December 15

Hi all. I know I haven't been very good about getting on here lately. Life has just been very busy. D- I am so sorry about your doggie. I have a peekinese and I can't imagine the day when she won't be with us anymore.....I just love her to death. It is true that animals can feel like your children. Especially if you have had them for awhile. I hope everything turns out okay. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season. We are starting our first of many Christmas get together's this weekend with both grandmas and extended families. Justine- hopefully you will be feeling better soon. I don't have as much sickness as I did before, but nothing sounds or tastes good to me, so it is a struggle to eat.....gee, wish I had that problem before I got prego...LOL. Anyone getting ready to test? Good luck to all!

 

Sara - December 15

Hi all, a-I can't imagine paying $1200 for a hsg. I guess I'm lucky we have medicare that pays for that kind of tests except for IUI (I think), and IVF. Hopefully you'll get your bfp before you get to that. Justine- I'm so sorry about your m/s. Hopefully it will pass and you can start holding down food. I hope all is well with everyone else and Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you all.

hi everyone. well...i started spotting last night which is a clear sign that af is coming soon. i am so upset. i feel sad, desperate, and angry all at once. poor dh -- he doesn't know what to do with me. i just don't think it's ever going to happen for us. giving up is probably what we should just do (we've spent so much money already). there is not a second of every day that i don't think about having a baby. it consumes me; and i really hate that. sorry if i'm making you guys down. just thinking out loud. good luck to the rest of you.

 

Justine - December 16

a - i am so sorry that you're feeling so down. i can't imagine what you're going through right now. vent away as much as you need to on here as we are all here to listen. i know you're probably wanting to give up right now but just give yourself a little time to get over af and then hopefully you can sit down with dh and discuss what you can do next. big hugs coming your way. sara - the dr has diagnosed me with hyperemesis gravidarium so at the moment it's just taking every day at a time and waiting for things to ease with both the medication and time. how are you doing? katie - my mum wasn't sick like this when she was pg so i guess it's just the luck of the draw. although it's really horrible in a way i don't mind too much as at least i know the pg hormones are very high...lol! d - i hope your dog's operation is a success today, let us know how she gets on. mindi - good to hear from you. enjoy your get-togethers this weekend. have you told alot of people yet about your pg? have a nice day ladies and 'a' i'll be thinking about you all day hoping that you're ok.

 

Sara - December 16

Hi everyone, a-I know how you feel. I've been ttc for over 2 yrs now, meanwhile my sister who is younger then me got pregnant twice with no problems what so ever. For the first time since dh and I have been trying, I took this month off to enjoy Christmas parties etc.. Its great to get my mind off of it. I know you and dh will have your baby in time. Justine-I'm doing ok. Getting ready for Christmas, My mom and step-father fly up from Texas this monday so they can spend Christmas with all of us. I'm having Christmas dinner at my house this year and I'm getting a little stressed b/c there will be prob 25 people coming. I've never cooked for so many people before but at least my mom will be there to help. d-Good luck today. I hope everything goes well.

hi ladies. a sorry to hear about the spotting. I am feeling a bit crampy myself just nothing showing. My dogs operation went well. she is still really sleepy though. over 24 hours later. she was sooo funny with the dome over her head she kept bumping into things. and then this afternoon dh took it off of her when i wasn't home. (it is too keep her from licking and nibbling at her leg). so i told dh. good you are the one that gets to put it on her when we go to sleep tonight. right now i feel like a bad mommy to her and i know that is what she is thinking. "what the hell are you doing to me mom". I hope everyone is well. I really need to finish my shopping and yesterday i spent 4 hours trying to find a store that had spikes for dh when he plays baseball. and that was the only thing i got. Baby Dust to all

 

M - December 20

Hey all! I've been super busy at work and am taking off till January 3 so I won't be on here for awhile. I had my hsg and that went fine (not as bad as I read about, took pain meds an hour before) and I'm "clear." Still just going to wait till February for my appointment with the RE to know what to do next. Justine, I hope you continue to feel better!! I also hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!! :)
