re: *OFFICIAL* Fertility Treatment Thread (Clomid, IVF, IUI)

Holy eff... Bad gas pains, dizzy, bloating, sore boobs... bleeding has slowed way down.

My husband bought a TON of baby girl clothes today. How can I tell him I feel really uncomfortable with this?! I just don't want to let him down with either a) not having a baby right now, or b) having a boy.
*We had a failed adoption 6/12 so we have a TON of girl clothes already...

If it were me, I don't think I would address the viability of this pregnancy since he seems to get upset/offended every time you say anything like that. I would just wait and let the "evidence", so to speak, whether good or bad handle that part. As for the clothes, I'd say something to the effect of "sweetie, I LOVE that you are so in love with a baby we don't even have yet, but it makes me a little nervous when you're buying all these baby girl clothes that you wouldn't be as happy if we have another son. I'm sure it's just me, but how about we hold off buying stuff until we know the gender of the baby we're going to have, that way we also don't have a ton of stuff we can't use, just in case." Maybe he wouldn't get hurt if you handled it that way?

@Lindsey - Also, it hit me this morning... What if its ectopic, but not tubal?

That's a good way to address it. I like that. He gets upset everytime I suggest that it could be a boy, too. LOL I think in his mind we're having a girl and we're having it now. I'm happy with either one.

Quoting brodyzmom:" @Lindsey - Also, it hit me this morning... What if its ectopic, but not tubal?"

Hmm... I don't know... that could be a possibiilty. I guess we'll see at my ultrasound. I'm really hoping I can get in tomorrow.

Great... now I'm worried about an ectopic other than tubal... I just read some stuff online... if levels are below 1500 and no heart beat is found intrauterine an ectopic is suspected.... I guess there's no point in worrying... I won't know anything until my u/s.

Sorry Lindsey, didn't mean to scare you...  

Amanda- Do you think you are going to test early with a HPT, or wait for the beta? I'm going to try so hard to hold out til the beta...

Lol, I'm gonna be testing early. I went and bought 10 $1 tests this morning. I took one a couple nights ago just to see how much HCG was floating around from my trigger. It was about half as dark as the control. I plan on starting in the morning with FMU so I can watch the HCG from the trigger go down, that way if I get a BPF on say 12 dpiui I can count it. Otherwise, I'm going to be nervous it's just from the trigger. Also, ugh, I'm going to Nashville for the weekend with some girlfriends for a bachelorette party. Really wishing I could know for sure by then, because let me tell you if this cycle is BFN I would really love to drink myself silly...

ETA: I have a progesterone draw tomorrow. I have no idea how IVF works... Do you have to do that tomorrow?

I thought about doing that (testing out my trigger). Since I was high risk for OHSS, they had me cut my trigger dose in half. Thinking that means it could be out of my system quicker?

No, I wish I had some sort of checkpoint in the 2WW   IDK if all clinics are like mine but with IVF you're "on your own" until the beta. I'm on the Crinone so hopefully it's doing what it's supposed to. I have a few cheapies but I'm trying to hold off!

I hear you on drinking up if it's BFN! I already told DH that I'll potentially be going on a liquor store shopping spree that day. Hopefully not though! Your bachelorette party sounds fun!! I'm jealous, I've always wanted visit Nashville  

Ashleigh- How are you doing? Been thinking of you. Hope you were able to do some fun things this weekend   xoxo

I think it would be gone quicker then. I tested again this afternoon, just to see, and its still fairly dark. :/ I've been to Nashville a couple of times, but this is my first girls-only visit there. Either way, drinking or not, should be fun. We're going out Saturday night dressed 80's.  

ETA: I didn't test with DS til 12 dpiui.

ok, this has gotten crazy! cervix has been so low that its hurting to dtd and sit. i was going to try ne the instead cups after dtd yesterday but hurt cervix too much. now almost 24 hours later still hurts to move a certain way or laugh. never had ovulation do this before!

I did my draw yesterday. I plan on testing Wednesday but I'm not expecting a positive that day even if I was pregnant. It's crazy how relaxed I felt about this cycle. I wish you guys all the babydust in the world!!!
