***GKU IF WEEKLY CHECK IN*** 3/16

[snakefisherbub]

I am the suck with keeping up. I'm sorry ladies. I'm reading all your posts but am having hard time replying to everyone. Hugs all around though!


Just got my results back from my latest blood draw. Copy and pasted text from Dr; HCG is down to 7 mIU/ml which is close to zero. Please repeat the test in 10-14 days and your ovary can start working. You can resume all the supplements etc and with your next period, you can start trying again. Also ok to be starting to have intercourse in about 10-14 days after the HCG goes down to zero.

Now I'm a little paranoid I had sex last night and a couple of times before. I thought she said last time it was ok, now I'm not suppose to? Is this bad? I don't know what to think.

I hope it's ok if I just update here.

I finally heard back from my RE late this afternoon and was so shocked when he said that I was pregnant!!!! My HcG came back at 487 and progesterone mid 90s. I go back on Friday for repeats. I'm still in shock. And I'm scared. But today, I'm pregnant! No green beer for this girl![/quote]

snakefisherbub - I think you're okay. I think I was on pelvic rest for 2 weeks after my loss.

Looking at my insurance claims is scary. We got a $460 bill yesterday for genetic testing and today the RE said he wanted to do fragile x testing. Another big bill I'm sure and we have insurance coverage. This is what we are on the hook for!

Glad all your billing issues worked out!!

Wait....we did our genetic testing with counsyl. Through insurance it would have been that much (each since I tested as a carrier DH got tested too) so they billed us outside of insurance for $99 each. I would ask if they are an option for further testing.

Same for us. The first bill was high but then the non insurance price was $99. We used Counsyl as well.

We haven't had it yet. I missed his call Monday because he called late and I was doing other things. I'm hoping this week to get in touch with him.

Congrats ldubhawksfan!!!

I had my follow-up today with my OB. He ended up referring me to the RE that is 90 mins. away. I'm not too disappointed because by doing so, he didn't try to ruin my fertility by just throwing meds at me. He realized he was out of his depth and sent me to a place where I can hopefully get answers. I will be scheduling my HSG for next month, since my period just ended and we got the instructions/cup for MH's SA. He thought it was a goodie bag, opened it, gave me a puzzled look and then the realization hit him.

So exciting, ldubhawksfan! Congratulations.

Congrats Ldub!! I had a feeling there would be some good news!

Also, kitsune, I'm so glad you were able to get your referral although I'm sad it's 90 minutes away. I laughed at the husband goodie bag

Congrats, ldubhawksfan!!!

@bloodyjack87, I hope you don't mind if I pop in. We had the option for both TI and IUI with Femara for treatment. We went ahead and did one cycle with the Femara + TI and it was a bust for us unfortunately. I talked to another lady (in the IF thread actually) and she talked me through it, since our timing was great in the past with our charting cycles honestly the chances were better to just to go ahead with the IUI. We were OOP as well. That being said it's totally a personal decision and if you want to give the TI a shot go for it! And FX for you!

[Rama]

AHHHHHH!!!! ldubhawksfan, CONGRATS!!!

[cateyes]

longhornwino0907-Hope you are able to trigger soon!!!!

FDL-FX for you! So glad your H’s numbers are better!!!!

@diordra-FX for you!!!! Have you decided if you are testing Friday?

remylove1011-FX for you that those numbers go up and with your IUI!!

madamewaffles-So exciting for your orientation-wishing you all the luck!

twinkie0612-When do you have your scheduled ET? So exciting!

lovegrilledcheese-so excited for you!! FX and everything else crossed!

peaseblossom55-Way to go body! So glad the plan is working!

mrsjene-Welcome and I hope you get some answers and a great plan!

goldenlove3-I would love to go back to the early 20’s for that reason too! I loved traveling!!!

kawaiikitsune-I am so sorry this week has been rough. I am so glad you got some good news!!! Hugs for the drama they put you through! So glad you got the referral and good luck with all your testing!

Hugs @sluttybigb00bz. I am sorry this cycle was a bust as far as the IUI. Hopefully the surgery helps!!

[cateyes]

rufus426-Hugs to you. It stinks that IF can take the joy out of things that you want to make you happy. I am sorry you had such hard news at a poor time.

@ironegg-Good luck with the shots!!! Hopefully you are able to get used to the process quickly!

babycowbell-I am so very sorry about your dog. Hugs to you.

MrsRC88-Good luck getting H in the mood!

lilsneezy-Sorry your temps are giving you doubts Hugs

[cateyes]

@bloodyjack87-You could try a TI cycle just to see how your body responds to the femara and if you are getting a strong and predictable ovulation on about CD 14. If this is true then I would move to IUI. If insurance will pay for TI, I would make sure all the ducks were in a row on their dime and then use my money once conditions are “predictable”.

snakefisherbub-I am sorry you are feeling like you are getting conflicting information! That stinks!!! Can you call and ask for clarification?

ldubhawksfan-CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wishing you a very H & H 9 months!!!
