September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[iluvmyman]

3PNB, when I had to take off my wedding ring with DD1 (didn't swell with DD2) DH went to the cheap store in the mall, I think Claire's, and bought me a blingy cubic zirconia It was HILARIOUS though bc I got SO many comments on my big new ring ... no one knew it was fake!

Flava I've never had O pains, have you had them before? FX it means a good strong O for you!

Babe was kicking so hard tonight even DH could feel it! Definitely a solid 3 weeks earlier than he's been able to feel it with either of the other 2.

I'm soooo jealous and excited about you feeling the baby kick so early. I cant wait to feel that again. Not having weekly U/S has been hard and I can't wait for the reassurance on Tues. That's rocks, B!

So, the SA results are in. I am devastated, needless to say. I wrote a whole post about it asking for advice, but a normal count is 40-60 million and his is below 2 million. SADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

OH! I haven't read ahead but can that be fixed or you need to maybe look at HT overseas? LOLA! This hits keep coming for you girl and you can cry on me if you need to. What's the plan of attack?

[iluvmyman]

He's sad, he apologized to me profusely and cried, but it's not his fault. I'm not mad at him or anything, just heartbroken. You guys know I can't afford that IVF stuff at all, so it seems we can try like idiots for years on end and my only hope is that maybe, just maybe, a miracle will happen. But, the doctor told me not to get my hopes up.

Awww, I want to cry too! We can all pitch in for your IVF Lola. OK, I'm crying now. I'm so sorry, Lola. Is this possibly a medical issue that insurance will pay for IVF?

[iluvmyman]

Well I told DH that you guys saying to DTD again tonight and he said ok. wow I thought he will be like no way!
he said what kind of a website is this , everyone is horny? Im starting to get suspicious ! Im going to find a DH site and talk about all this too!
Of course he was just joking but we are laughing all night now.

So we may try 1 more...this better work because there is no way I ever in my life had such a sperm count up there!

Not horny just determined as all get out!

I am on day 7 of AF....just very light spotting today, but normally it is only 5 days. I guess is has something to do with the chem. preg. I bet I will O later too.....maybe I won't be in the woods...that would be better.

[Flava]

Thanks for the advice. I ended up staying home from work 1/2 day today so we could BD at 10am this morning. I really wanted to get the timing right and I think we did ok. I am a little confused because I tested this am and got a digital negative, but it was a digital positive I got yesterday, so maybe something was screwy with it being first morning urine? At any rate, if you were me, would you BD again tonight? I guess it can't hurt???

Lola, I'm sorry you didn't get good news! Keep your chin up and remember that just when you give up and relax, maybe even talk about adoption, if only because just the audible word seems to give couples the boost they need to make it happen! =) Prayers!!

I would do it again for sure! And I did it too everyone told me to go. But Looks like it was a day after O so it may not count at all.not sure...also looks I got a +opk after O.

lol he was just funny!

How do you do??

Awww, I want to cry too! We can all pitch in for your IVF Lola. OK, I'm crying now. I'm so sorry, Lola. Is this possibly a medical issue that insurance will pay for IVF?

Aw, thanks hun.....no, unfortunately insurnace covers no IF at all, so we would be on our own with that. The local IVF joint here gave me a price on the phone for ICSI/IVF and it's $15K.....but our plan is to get DH on some super vits immediately (I just ordered the Naturally Smart for Men that Dr. Potter and the ivf docs recommend for dhs with issues....it was $70 for a month!!!) and continue to try each month. After a year or so, we will re-evaluate and look at IVF, see if we can afford to finance it or borrow from parents or grandparents. I actually feel a bit better today.....DH and I seem closer than ever now, oddly. It's like we now have a more defined goal and he is determined to get me pregnant.

WP, thanks for that sweet post....you are so right.....all I can do is hold on to some hope. I honestly googled success stories and saw a lot. One of my old IG pals wrote me on Facebook today about it, that she thinks there is something working right, that even with that ridiculously low count, he's gotten me preggo before is a good sign. So, I'm going with that hope. I love reading the stories of miracles, though, thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iluv, excited for your ultrasound on Tuesday!!!!! Are you finding out the gender? I can't remember.....

[Flava]

WP- nature can help lol! But if you want to O after I hope you will!

I have Af like that after a chem. All you can do is track your O well, which I am sure you will. In the woods! Yikes!
