Queer Conceptions - October 2012 - Page 12

Invitn -- I'm so very, very sorry. I've experienced some (not all, I know) of what you have, and it's very disheartening. Don't give up. Thinking of you!

Sphinxy - Sorry about the early BFN. Good luck with your re-test!

To EVERYONE in the TWW -- We are lucky to be here. Best of luck to all of us for a BFP this cycle!

AFM - 12 DPO. Planning to test on 14 DPO. Thought I felt a little menstrual in bed this morning, but now I'm not so sure. AF may get here before I get to test.

[Sphinxy]

sigh. 11 dpiui (10 or 11 dpo), and another bfn early this morning. af is due on thursday, no more testing for me unless af is late. ugh...

[outdoorsy]

Sphinxy, I'm sorry. It always sucks, even when you've just started trying. But take heart - it seems it hardly ever happens on the first try for us IUIers. And you've got practice now that may help next time.

[erinTNgirl]

mrsandmrs, SanDiego78, outdoorsy- Good luck!!!!!!!

fmorris28- That is great news about your mom! My mother was the same way in the beginning, but now she is very accepting of my DP and me. Good luck!

sphinxy- Don't give up! Keep trying!

KnittingTigers- Thanks for the betabase website! It was very helpful!

easttowest- Have you found a doc yet? Any news on the betas?

invitn- I feel really horrible about your poop-filled day. I hope the weekend was a little better. I cannot imagine going through what you have. You guys are really tough!

afu- I go in for my second beta tomorrow morning bc I work today. Boo. I will keep you guys posted. I hate going over to the other forum and leaving you guys...

[easttowest]

Spinxy - Sorry about your BFN.  I know it doesn't feel like it could still work out, but 10 dpo is still actually early, and pregnancy tests are only 99% accurate after the missed period.  So while you should be prepared, don't lose all hope until AF shows up.

Good luck to everyone in the TWW!  Who's up next?  fmorris?  outdoorsy?  How are you doing?  I am impressed by everyone's will power to wait.

erin - Looking forward to seeing your next betas.  Are you ready to graduate?  Or waiting for those numbers first?  DW still needs to go in for "pregnancy counseling" today - it's the only way the student health center will give her a referral to an ob/gyn.  It's a frustrating process, and we're never going to get betas, and we probably won't be able to get in for an u/s until 10-12 weeks, although we are going to push for 7 weeks since we're traveling and would like to know all is well before then.  It's completely ridiculous for such a large university with such a diverse population to treat every pregnancy like it is unplanned - when they asked her what BC she was using, I told her to put the fact that her husband can't get her pregnant!  Ugh, hopefully we'll be moving on to a real doctor soon and can start thinking more about a plan.  Excited that you'll be in the same place every step of the way!

Invititin... Sorry you are dealing with shit on top of shit, it does seem unfair. And to wait two more months to be able to try again seems so painful. I really really hope your journey has a victorious end soon.

Sphinxy. I hope your testing was just too early! Fx for you

Sorry cant do more personals but fx crossed to everyone else, I read all the updates and am thinking about you all.

[SunandEr]

Good Luck Everyone!

Wow this 2ww is torture and I'm a long way from testing lol ! I could really use a glass of wine.........
 

[outdoorsy]

4 p.m. -- Feels like AF will be here tomorrow. God. It's not really a cramp, but a little pain -- like the pain of my lining getting ready to bail. I am beside myself.

[JustAnotherJenny]

OUTDOORSY: I hope you're wrong.  I'm so sorry.  You've been through so much.  Thinking of you! And holding hope for you when you can't for yourself.  <3

[Sphinxy]

outdoorsy - maybe mine is psychosomatic, but i have felt the same way all afternoon. i hope yours is just a figment of your imagination!

Hang in there! Strong AF cramps for me are always a positive sign that I'm pregnant!!

Same here! Really hope it's just that baby burrowing in!

[redrockband]

Invitn: So sorry to hear about all the crap you are going through right now. I'll keep my fingers crossed that there will be no more of that and it will be easier from here. And please do rant away whenever you need/want to

Fmorris: Glad to hear your mom is coming around. I am hoping my wife's parents decide to do the same sooner rather than later. It's really hard when our families are not supportive

Good luck to everyone in the TWW...hoping for so more BFP's soon! 

AFM: KD finally has his swimming test scheduled for this week. Hurrah! Hopefully we'll get the results soon and start working on the useful, but not really donor contract. We live in one of those fabulous states where it means absolutely nothing, but are doing it anyways because.... we love lawyers? 

[fmorris28]

Sphinxy, Thanks! I'm so glad too. All the time DP and I have been talking about having our family, its always been in the back of mye mind mye mum won't be around for it nd it had meeh sooooo sad! i couldnt even talk about her without crying! Glad things are looking a bit better! And yes its still very early keep POAS!!!

Mrs., Its been torture but i'm trying to wait. Mum said i should wait another two weeks, but who is she kidding! lol. 2 days until mye TWW is over tho! Your symptoms sound like a lot of the ones I had, didn't trigger this time. But right now..the girls (mye boobs lol) are killing meeh!!!

Outdoorsy, I'm right at 13DPIUI and if I can wait until after AF it'll be a miracle otherwise maybe in a couple of days. FX for AF to stay away for you!!

Erin, Thnks! Good to know that they can make a turn around..its hard being without the support of your mum! Hope the best for you and that liddle bean!

2Justice, I hope your DW's parents will be the same. We've been together 4 years next month so its been a long time coming. Just keep positive and you never know. Throw a grandbaby in the mix and they cant resist!

AFM, 13DPIUI and same types of feelings. Little cramps, tiredness, and a little bit of nausea, and mye boobs are hurting terribly. AF is due in a couple days, but she is most UNWELCOME in mye home! I'm keeping everything crossed!

[invitnconceptn]

So here my official congrats...

East2West So exciting that threadkeeper's luck is alive and well. Congratulations again. It so great to hear in real time how fresh shipped sperm can get the job done!! Stick bean stick!!

(something is wrong with my computer or something - it won't let me drag the emoticons across the page only down- oh well)

Erin:  congrats on your BFP. Saw the photo - it was certainly crystal clear. I hope you and your DW are through the moon. How exciting!!!!!!

Pokey:  I don't think I've officially wished you congratulations either. So glad to see that you have graduated off the island. You had been here longer than me and are so well deserving of getting your bun in the oven. I'm so happy for you.

[invitnconceptn]

Hello all....I needed just a few days to lament about my disappointing news of learning I have a polyp again....now I'm back with a lovely new avatar of my beloved Amira Jane...I swear I could make a 5 year calendar out of all the photos I have of her. All of them mostly looking like this one.

Outdoorsy: I truly hope this is your ticket off this island. I have everything crossed for you right I can hardly write this post. Like everyone else I hope that the AF sx you are getting are simply a little bean burrowing in. Thinking of you.

Fmorris and Sphinxy: I'm wishing you guys just the next few days of peace as you continue to the end of your tww. I hope BFPs are in your near future.

2justicemamas: Yeah for KDs swimmers get tested. It's annoying you have to jump through this hoop and yet once you are done - you will feel more rest assured.

AFM: So as I just said, I am gradually coming back from the dark place I was this weekend when I was feeling F*&K everything. I got my surgery date set to remove the polyp next Friday October 26th. I'm moving from to .  I came to realize today that I've been posting on queer conceptions for over a year. As I move into my second year of posting, I want to declare a campaign to get myself off this ttc island. (Thank you Pokey (I think) for making shout outs to get herself off the island- girl it worked...oh I guess along with a fertilized embryo implanting in your uterus). I know that alot of people who have tried for years and years to try to become "with child". For instance, my hats go off to Julia Indichova for trying for 13 years or so. She didn't give up and went on to help thousands of women nationally achieve their dream of getting pregnant through her organization The Fertile Heart. If she can do it, and so many other strong, confident, determined ladies like her can have the patience and strength needed to keep their head in the game..so to speak than I can do it. I declare today, this moment, here in this post, that I can and will get pregnant with the most amazing little soul that is waiting to come to me and DW. If it's ok with all of you, I would really appreciate it if you all would give a special wish out to the universe in my (Sara) and my DW's (Steph) honor...to guide the little soul meant to be our child our way.

Thank you. Thanks for all the well wishes over the past few days. E2W: feel free to put me on the "forced to take a break" list..

and of course to all of you

[easttowest]

invitn, glad to hear you are moving forward and feeling a little more positive.  I hope the rest of your journey is not long at all, and as thread keeper, I order you off the island just as soon as you are back on the horse, so to speak.  :)

[cordelia15]

Inviting... Glad you are starting to move from the dark place a little. A year must be a hard marker. I do believe a little soul is waiting for you. DH and I would walk around talking to our little soul before we got our BFP telling them what we had to offer and what might be our challenges. I will send some extra vibes out into the world to kick you off this island too! A friend of mine just went through a two year journey before bfp yours will NOT be that long, and is a about to have twins and said she never knew how strong she was until this, how it tests every part of your soul, your relationship, your friendships. So know how amazing your strength is and your baby is there waiting for you!!!

[outdoorsy]

BFP! No one is more surprised than me. It was a digital "pregnant."

I just want to say for people who are worried about symptoms that there was no legitimate difference between symptoms this month and last month's BFN. I did sort of overeat this week, but I probably would have done that anyway, as I certainly have during previous TWWs.

I also want to send my fondest hopes and wishes to Invitn, Krista (kgulbransen), and anyone I missed who has been here a long time, including the lurkers who don't post. Invitn (Sara), you are not "on a break." You are still working hard to get to where you need to be. I want to see you kicked off the island! I think you are doing the right thing with clomid/trigger/IUI -- it worked for me, and I also had possible ov dysfunction, and I am the same age as you. I hope you are going to be doing ultrasounds, too, to confirm that you are ready to trigger. This month, my follies weren't ready at first, and I had to go back for another u/s before triggering. A special wish to you and Steph that a little soul will makes its way to you. And, for Krista, who has had more setbacks than anyone I know of on this board, I am thinking of you and your struggle, and I hope a little soul makes it way to you, as well.

AFM, I hope this pregnancy sticks. When we first started talking to our KD (which didn't work out, see sig), my sister was pregnant with a son who is now 4.

Good luck to everyone, wherever in the journey you are.

I knew it, outdoorsy!! Congratulations!!
