Thanks Kitty...when I see my dr on Tues...I'm going to ask her....as my insurance co is pretty well known in our area and I'm sure she would know what is covered or what isn't. I'm hoping I don't have to go down that road...but I will if it ...

Luv2teach... As for insurance and fertility... Check to see if they cover some things, like Vlimis or Metformin. I don't know what you will need but my insurance also doesn't cover infertility but did cover Clomid and Metformin and blood wo ...

I am so glad to have come across this forum. I had three ultrasounds so far; one in the beginning to determine gestational age, one at 21 weeks (anatomy scan) and my most recent scan at 31 weeks (which was yesterday). The first two ultras ...

Thanks Duffy! That's helpful! I feel like such a novice when it comes to this stuff. I've never ttc before and now that I really want to be PG this year...I'm getting overly anxious and stressing out over it. I know I need to just relax and ...

Luv2teach - usually they will test your hormone levels your dr might give you the paperwork and say get them done so many days after you think you ovulate. If they establish that you haven't then they might do in ultrasound to see what is g ...

alohamom...what do they look for with the blood tests? I'm actually due for AF the day of my appt which is really NOT good! I may have to postpone. But my AF sometimes comes a day late...so hopefully it'll come after my appt...or better yet ...

luv2teach I would ask and see when she could do blood work .LOL You are still young LOL I'm 46yrs and I got pregnant in a few months of trying without help but we lost our little one in Jan and I only had 3 cycles. I made my Dr do tests. T ...

cocoloco...I'm in the US. I'll ask my dr on Tues when I go in for my annual. I would be more than willing to try anything that is not going to break the bank. Not even sure what my insurance will and will not cover when it comes to infertil ...

keightlynn - 6 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
cocoloco- interesting you say that about the FRER because I've been using internet ones and I keep wondering if they even work! I tested today at 10dpo BFN. All my mysterious cramps are gone. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but ...

britphlps - 6.3 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
Hey ladies cd 43 here. Well actually cd. 1 cause AF finally arrived. I never thought i would be so happy to see her.

Cocoloco - 7.1 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
luv2teach - It depends where you live? I am in the UK and my sister had to wait a year. The first thing they did was test her husbands sperm, and when that came out fine they did an ultrasound of her fallopian tubes and 'flushed them' with ...

Cocoloco - 7.1 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
kitty - I agree with duffy - FRER all the way! Internet ones never showed a positive with me until about a week after a missed period, whereas I've had a positive FRER at 9DPO before!

luv2teach - 7.5 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
alohamom...thanks! I'm 39..so yes...an older mom. Only been trying 2 months. My youngest is almost 3. I had no problems getting PG with him but wasn't trying either. I just really wanna get PG this year before I turn 40. I'm so impateint! L ...

luv2teach a year but is you are an older mom they will talk to you. I would just ask to be seen and have some blood work. I had my done on the day before I thought I should have my LH surge. It came in low but Dr and I think its because I w ...

luv2teach - 7.9 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
Hi Ladies...do any of you know how many months of ttc before a doctor will even consider talking about any issues you or your partner may have? If you get your period regularly and ovulate regularly and still aren't getting PG...what is the ...

Ehartw02 - yep that sounds like a plan. Also, I know this sounds yuck, but if you can keep an eye on your cervical fluid as that also can give you an idea if you are about to ovulate. Kitty79 - yay! Hope they stay up for you & you get you B ...

Has anyone else experienced heavier AF while taking Clomid? Mine have always been heavier and painful but this is my 6th day still heavy. The only time it seems to be letting up is before I take the clomid. Just feels like AF is going to be ...

4dpo ugh this tww is dragging....

ehartw02 - 10.9 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
duffy- yes that helped. so to figure out my leutal phase I would use the opk everyday until I got a negative (that would be the day I O) and then count days until AF?

Seeing everyone talking about taking temps and ovulation tests remind me of when I did all of that. I took my temp every morning at the same time for 2 out of the 3 1/2 years that we were trying. That was more accurate than the ovulation te ...

Cocoloco - 13.9 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
Thanks duffy :-) At least I know I'm in the 2ww now! :-)

Cocoloco - 14.6 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
keightlyn... I also checked out your chart and your temps are looking really good :-)

Cocoloco - 14.8 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
Temp went up again this morning after a couple of dips, and FF has decided I am 6DPO :-) I was awake in the night feeling so nauseous like I was going to puke, and having mild cramping. Not going to read anything into it, because I have had ...

Pocahontas - congratulations on baby Kayley! Can't wait for the photos.

Duffy - 24.1 hours ago - Posted in Trying-to-conceive > -General::Trying-to-conceive
Laura615 - you can get symptoms now, but try not to read too much into them until you get your BFP (Believe me it is hard NOT too) as a few pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF coming symptoms. My fingers are crossed and sending heaps of ...

janbaby09 - It has happened before when I was trying for DS1. She fell pregnant first and then I did a few weeks later. (she then lost the baby a couple of weeks after that). I have tried vitex before with success but it was not successful ...

ehartw02 - Leutal phase is the time between ovulation and your AF; generally is it always the same length each cycle . On an average cycle it is 14 days but some women have longer or shorter time. I know that my is 12 days. So When I ovulat ...

turtlemom - 24.4 hours ago - Posted in Pregnancy > Ventriculomegaly
Hi jerryk, I'm sorry for the diagnosis of your twin. There is still a chance that things will be okay. You will have to wait for the next scan. Sometimes things stabilize or the vents decrease. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does ha ...

Littlelamb, ACC is very common with Hydro children. There are many times the parents won't even know about the ACC at all because there are no delays. I know there are people you have encountered with ACC that don't even know it. There is a ...

Update on our baby girl. I went in for a Fetal MRI and her ventricles were measuring 15mm but the worse part is they found out she has ACC Agenesis Corpus Callosum complete. Meaning she is missing her Corpus Callosum in her brain. Today ...

My breasts are becoming pretty tender so I'm taking that as a sign that the Provera is working! Woo!

thanks duffy and keightlyn - helps to have other people think the same! Keightlyn - sounds promising; the times I have been pregnant cramping was my main symptom, and I bloated so much I needed maternity jeans by week 8 with my son! 9DPO is ...

Laura615- I probably sound like a hypochondriac, but that is my fear too! This has been consistent dull pain for 4 days now, and I'm getting the middle twinges too! DH made my call the nurse line and ask about it and she told to test (I alr ...

CD20 and another negative OPK so the mystery of ovulating early or super late continues. The bloating in my abdomen is all but gone now. My gut tells me that I ovulated early since I had the bloating last month after ovulation. Doesn't leav ...

I had that happen to me last year a friend of mine got pregnant without even trying. While I was happy for her, I was just a little envious for a few days. But my joy for her quickly took over and I was just so happy for a new baby to be ...

I know the feeling. With my 1st I used meds and then my 2nd i used vitex. My sister-in-law has the same problem. Her first was with meds, 2nd was natural and now she has to go back to the specialist for meds again, but has to wait for finan ...
