About me!

January 08, 2008

I am 26 years old and moved to Oklahoma in 2006 from Nebraska. My now husband and I met in Nebraska at military training so I moved down to Oklahoma a short while later. We were married on July 4th, 2007 and found out I was pregnant. I ended up having a miscarriage and had to have a D&C. It was horrible! I felt like something had been stolen from me. I guess it just wasn't the right time for us to have a baby. We just recently decided to start TTC and are really hoping it happens soon!! I am new to this site but it seems like everyone on here is so helpful and caring. Hope to hear from you guys soon!! Good luck to all of you in your journey! I'll be praying for you!

Thanks! I'm sorry for your loss. how are things going now?

I also had a miscarriage in 3/07, small world I guess. We have been trying ever since and haven't had any luck...

January 23, 2008

I'm sorry to hear that Dana. I really hope something happens soon for you!!!

January 23, 2008

Hey Nicole!

Sorry to hear that your journey with conceiving didn't turn out well, but I hope there are tons of babies in your future. This site is very amazing. I don't think there is anything that someone on this site hasn't went through in terms of fertility and conceiving. Good luck with you journey to have a child! Can't wait to hear how it goes. Sending you lots of baby dust!!!

January 23, 2008

Thanks Fran. You're a sweetie. How are things going with you? I wish you luck!!!

January 23, 2008

Well thank you.........I'm 19 weeks along with my first. We tried for 6 months and found out my husband had low sperm morphology. But I guess that was all it took for us to relax because then it happened! We are due June 18th. How long have you guys been trying?

January 24, 2008

Welcome and best of luck. When ttc it is so wonderful to have a group like this to talk to who know exactly what you are going through. Lots of luck!!!

January 24, 2008

Fran, I'm really happy for you! That's great! We have been trying only about 1 1/2 months. We should find out within the next week or two if we conceived......I hope so!!!

Jenstar, thanks for your comment. Good luck to you as well!!

January 24, 2008

Good Morning ladies... Thanks Nicole, I hope we all get lucky and our dream comes true. Well today is my Dr. appt. I am going in to see how many follicles I have and to get the go ahead to go my trigger shot. If all is good they will have me come in on Saturday the 26th for my 2nd IUI. This time with injections. I sure hope this works. My bestfriend is the one that referred me to this RE here in Dallas. She studied at Harvard. Anyways I'm only 27 but she is 40. She was on the same meds they put me on this time. The Gonal F and Clomid, with a trigger. She had her 2nd IUI a few weeks ago. Well her blood test was yesterday and she got her BFP!!! Her beta at 14dpo was 238. She is scared it's twins LOL... But just a little success to share with you. I know I love reading everyone's success stories. But anyways I hope I have lots of follicles today! My fingers are crossed!!!!

January 25, 2008

I hope you have many, many follicles from yesterday!!

January 25, 2008

Hey girl... I was pretty excited upon leaving the Dr. yesterday. I have 5 follicles, 4 on my left ovary and 1 on my right. I only had 2 on my left last cycle. I'm not ready for a Saturday IUI though. The follicles were all 14mm or above, they have to be 18mm-22mm to trigger and do the IUI. So I go back for another sono on Saturday, then should be ready for my IUI Monday morning. Oh and then the dreaded 2WW. So how are you doing...? I read above that you will find out within the next week or so if you have conceived. That's great. Are you excited?

January 25, 2008

That's really good! You're pretty close! I'm going to test next week by taking a hpt. But I also have a regular dr's appointment on 2/8 so I'm going to also ask her to draw blood and test. So......we'll see!

January 25, 2008

Oh my fingers are crossed for you!!!! My blood test should be on the 11th so I'll find out shortly after you do... I sure hope it works out for us both! My husbands B-Day is the 10th of Feb so I hope to maybe test that day and be able to surprise him. If not Valentine's Day is right there too! This is so exciting LOL

January 25, 2008

That is really exciting!!! I can't wait to find out how everything goes!

January 28, 2008

Gosh I've been back and forth to the Dr. for sonograms all weekend. It's been crazy. First on Saturday I go in to see if my follicles are the right size and get the go ahead to trigger. Well long story short they were not ready but instead of having 4 on my left side, I have 6 on my left side. One still on my right. I left after the nurse said to continue taking medication and come back monday. Well after getting home the Dr. called and left a message saying to lower my dose and only take one more of the meds as I have too many follicles that are too close in size. I guess she was afraid it was REALLY going to increase my chance of having mulitiples. And they wanted to see me Sunday morning as well at 9:30 in the morning. So I go in yesterday and have several that will be of size by tomorrow's IUI. So they told me to trigger lastnight and I go in for my IUI tomorrow morning. It's very exciting but also kind of scary because of of my Dr.'s concern for mulitiples. We are fine with twins but any more than that scares the crap out of me...

January 28, 2008

Wow!!! Multiples would scare me as well. I don't think I could handle more than one baby at a time. Two might be okay, but 3 or more would be crazy! I am on 9DPO and should be getting AF anytime now.....hopefully I don't get it but we'll see!

January 28, 2008

I agree with you 100%, twins even scare me a little but I think it would be such a blessing. But more than that just totally scares the crap out of me... It's rare though, triplets are pretty rare and of course more than that is even more rare. But twins we have a great chance for... Congrats, 9dpo is great. I wished I was there with ya. After tomorrow I'll be starting my dreaded 2ww and you'll be finishing yours. I hope AF doesn't come and you get your BFP. That would be great!! How are you feeling? Do you have any kind of noticable signs of pregnancy or do you feel like you may start? I know it's hard to tell the symptoms between the two apart. But my sister is prego with #4 and she knew the moment she was pregnant with all of them. I guess some of us gets tell/tell symptoms and some of us don't. I could've swore I was pregnant last month with my symptoms and turned out not to be of course so this time I'm just going to let it ride and not put to much thought into it... Talk about the longest two weeks in your life. At least it seems that way :)

January 28, 2008

That's for sure! I feel fine. I haven't had any symptoms either way, AF or pregnancy. It's weird because I should be starting within the next couple days......or not. That was great that your sister was lucky enough to feel that she was pregnant the moment she conceived!! Wow.

January 28, 2008

I don't know how she knew but she did. Here I was soooo sure and of course AF came. AF came last month on 10dpo and I was just devastated. This this round I started injectables and have a lot of hope. I sure hope you get your BFP, are you going to test like at 14dpo, or sooner? (Providing AF doesn't come)

January 29, 2008

Well his sperm count was much higher today! We were very excited to see that happen. And the IUI went well. Now we are just waiting, waiting, waiting!!! :(

January 29, 2008

That's great that his count was higher! That's awesome!! The waiting part stinks so much!!

January 29, 2008

Yeah especially since the IUI was 2 hours ago LOL... But the count was very significant. 2.98 million before washing last time and only 700 thousand after washing. This time it was 20.75 million before washing and 11.6 million after washing. So exciting!!!

January 29, 2008

wow, thats a great jump in counts dana - what did your hubby do differently this time to get his counts up?

Good luck to you!!!

January 29, 2008

He quit smoking 8 days ago so I have to think that helped big time!! But he took his sample at home this morning rather than doing it at the Dr. office. He was very uncomfortable last time. So I think being in the comfort of your home makes a huge difference as well...

January 30, 2008

Did you test this afternoon Nicole? Hoping you got your BFP and you've just been to excited to jump on here and tell us! :) Let us know...

January 30, 2008

I did take my test and it was a BFN so.....I'm going to wait until this weekend and take another one. If af still hasn't shown up by next Wed., I already have an appt. with my doctor so I'm going to have her do a blood test.

January 31, 2008

How many days passed ovulation are you today? Maybe it's just to early. I hope you get your BFP soon!!!

January 31, 2008

Today I am 12dpo. So I don't know what the deal is. I'm going to wait and test again on Saturday at 14dpo so if it's still not showing positive by then and i still haven't gotten af, they hopefully the blood test will show a BFP!!!

January 31, 2008

Well definitely good luck! Hopefully it will be positive on 14 dpo. You only have 2 days to go! I have at least 10 LOL...

February 01, 2008

Any new updates Nicole? AF show yet? Are you waiting to test again until tomorrow?

February 01, 2008

I tested this afternoon and still nothing.....I don't know what the deal is? I should have gotten af by now?

February 01, 2008

Maybe tomorrow at 14dpo will be your time Nicole.((BABY DUST))

February 02, 2008

The dreaded AF showed up this morning. I was not too happy!!! So, I guess we'll be shooting for this month. Who knows....maybe a Valentine's day baby??

February 02, 2008

Oh no Sorry Nicole..Sending u lots of

************Baby Dust***********

February 03, 2008

February 03, 2008

Sorry to hear your news, lots of luck this month!!!!! Happy V-day baby :O)

February 04, 2008

Oh honey I'm sorry. AF sucks!!! I wish you tons of luck this month and definitely have FUN trying!! :)

February 04, 2008

Thanks all of you for your sweet comments!!!

May 29, 2008

Hey Nicole I just came across your journey. I am very sorry for your loss before, I hope eveything is going better now.

What part of Nebraska did you live it? Are you and DH both in the military?

May 31, 2008

Vanessa, thanks for your comment. I lived in Lincoln. Where do you live in Nebraska? Yes, we are both in the military and ready to get out the beginning of next year.

June 02, 2008

Me and DH live in Omaha. He is stationed at Offutt AFB.

Thats awesome! Are you enjoying it out in Oklahoma compared to Nebraska?

June 05, 2008

Yes, I do like it in Oklahoma. I just miss my family and friends in Nebraska. Where are you at so far in your ttc journey?

June 06, 2008

Well its been about 16 months and I am still trying! We are about to get started visiting dr's but the process takes so long with military dr's around here! Hopefully I will be able to convince the dr's that we have been trying for a long time and get them to use more aggresive ways of trying! How about you?
