*TFAS* 6/12

[cl8badb]

I dont know the normal format but i wanted to update.

Trying since september.

Seeing a specialist, pre-seed, holding up pelvis, hormones etc.

Im toying with this being my last cycle. I need letrozole, estrogen, progesterone etc...
Im so nervous that my body wont be able to carry a baby to term or close to term that its making want to be one and done.
My original plan was to try july and august too but now im not so sure.
I turn 36 in august and thats as far as i want to go. Especially now that i need all of the "help" to get it going.

GTKY: Any random fun fact or funny/embarrassing story??

Can I join even though I'm trying for a third This is our 4th month trying and I'm just worried since having my ovary removal things aren't working right. With both girls I was knocked up within 2 cycles. I know the stress from that isn't good and can delay or screw up O but I can't seem to shake it. On the outside I seem calm and collected and if it happens it happens. On the inside I want to run test see if all is good even though I know it could take up to a year for a healthy couple to get pregnant.

cl8badb ]I hope that this is your month!!

Thank you!
I hope everything works out for you too. It may take a little longer this time around but youll get there!

Tfas can also mean "trying for a sibling"

[nachellebeck]

Been trying since May 2014.
Looks like I'm on another annovulatory cycle.
I'll be calling Wednesday for provera & a referral to an RE.


cl8badb, hopefully this is your month!

[skk]

I'm on the sidelines for now, but still checking in to wish you ladies the best!

My follow up appointment is in a couple weeks so I'll know more then.

[doodletwins]

I've disappeared lately, but we recently discussed IVF again and need to push it back a few months. I am not a fan of that but with building our house things are just too crazy/stressful right now.

[cynthia2007]

cl8badb, I really do hope it happens for you soon. I know you've been struggling with deciding what to do and keep trying.

Good luck to you other ladies as well dencasa, nachellebeck, skk, doodletwins

I think we'll start trying in the late fall. I'll be 36 in Feb. I've got to lose weight first

[graciel79]

Hi, I'm still here, still TFAS.

Things are always crazy at the end of the school year, so I haven't been able to keep up at all.
7 more days to go!!

This is my 4 month trying after my loss. It's been stressful, especially since this week would have been my due date. I was really hoping to be pregnant by now, but no luck yet. Work has been helping me keep my mind off of everything. Plus, DS will be 2 on Friday, so I'm trying to focus on that and his upcoming birthday party. Can't believe I'll have a 2 year old!

cl8badb Good luck with everything. I know it must be such a tough decision. I agree with the others, hope this is your month!

dencasa both my kids are one ovary wonders. (I used to be 34blondie BTW...hey there!) Good luck to you!

Hiiiiiiiiiii. I was clearing out my "other" account and was wondering whatever happened to your friends with the cheating scandal.

dr Google is not my friend at this point which in the end just stresses me out which will make things harder in the end. I don't temp or use ovulation sticks cause that would just make me anxious so I loosely keep an eye on my cm which was what I did with other pregnancies. 4 months isn't that long of trying so I'll keep at it for now :-)

[trutru127]

Still trying for #2 but took this month off and didn't even have sex. We will get back to just NTNP next cycle and then go from there. I'm supposed to get back to the gym this week so hopefully getting back in better shape will help things in a few months. Another May/June baby or even April would be great bc then I'll have until late July with the baby.

I have used them with no problems. There's a list of reputable amazon vendors on one of the other boards...TTGP, I think.

I just ordered some and the batch I received was real. Let me get the link.

[cl8badb]

Wondfo site has a list of valid amazon vendors... (Scroll down a little)
wondfousa.com/test/pregnancy-tests/

I got 50 for $18.99.
When i bought mine the vendor was "iFast". Now the same link on amazon says the vendor is "Ding". Both are listed as valid vendors on the wondfo site.

www.amazon.com/dp/B004AOMAOG/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1435061436&sr=1&keywords=wondfo

Just make sure that the pregnancy test wrappers are pink and when you open one make sure the end of the stick that says "hcg" is pink. Then they should be real.
If they turn out fake for any reason amazon will replace them.
ETA i just ordered mine saturday and got them yesterday.

[cl8badb]

Ive taken a bunch of wondfo tests. Some were passed on to me by mcbush and violet. Ive never had a false positive. They were all negative and clearly negative.
Both of those ladies had real positives.

[sctiger]

I had a lot of success with Wondfo tests. They were great for testing out my trigger shots because they are so cheap. Formosa medical should be a valid vendor.

Okay ladies trying to up my post count here ;-). I'm fasting no food or drink from sunrise to sunset. I basically pee twice a day when I'm fasting. once when I first get up and one later in the afternoon. And when the time comes I am slamming liquids until 330am. By the time 830 when I'm up for the day I have to pee like a race horse. Is this the best time to test? Or no since between 745pm and my bedtime 330am I'm drinking tons of water. Or should I wait til that second time when I haven't had any liquids?

So who has to pee now with all my talk of it?

[nachellebeck]

I think you should wait until evening.

The thought process behind using FMU is that your urine is even more concentrated since you arent drinking in the middle of the night.
Since your longest period without liquids is during the day, i would test with your evening pee

I'm doing okay...made it through my first day back at work with only minimal discomfort so I'm calling it a win. It's was really nice to be busy to keep my mind focused on better things.

I second the testing in the evenings if it's the OPKs.  I remember reading the concentrated urine is not as accurate for that, but I'd do the morning pee if you're doing the pregnancy test.

I'm so happy to hear that you're doing better. I wish I could do more then send a creepy internet hug. But an intern hug it is!!
