Sheena: It's so great to see you happy :-)

Violetblue · 02-20-2008, 10:47 AM

Hi everyone, hope this short week is going good for all of you.

Things are pretty good on my end. I did finally have AF after 145 days!! I got to my dr on Valentine's Day where I learned that she is going to refer me to a fertility clinic. I really, really don't want to have to go, but I am still glad that she isn't going to try to fix me first. I wasn't able to ask for a specific fertility dr, so I am just sitting around waiting for the call to see who I get. She also wants me to get a pelvic ultrasound done which I have booked for March 4. She also wants DH to get a SA so we have all that information before we get to our fertility clinic appt. I didn't tell DH about that one until the day after Valentines. He took that news pretty well and even got a form yesterday to get a SA. I am happy he is taking initiative too. For now I am just going to keep going to acupuncture once a week until benefits run out. I am really hoping that it is the answer to us TTC. She also wants me to temp so I have been doing that for a little over a week now. Luckily I haven't been obsessing yet.

Shejayd · 02-20-2008, 08:49 PM

Violet , its important not to obsess, that can cause so much stress. Be prepared for the long wait to get into the clinic, if they havent called by May call them and see how far down the list you are. I hope your wait is short, and congrats on AF! What CD are you on? I am still waiting on mine, some time between now and Tuesday I am sure she will visit, as my last pill was on Tuesday. (Hugs)

Be prepared for the long wait to get into the clinic

I am already preparing myself for a long wait to get into the clinic. I really hope that we don't have to go so that will give us time to try anything and everything first.

I am just curious though. For you girls that went to a fertility clinic, how long did it take to actually just get an appointment to the clinic? And how long did you wait to get into the fertility clinic?

I don't mind waiting for the appointment, but I am minding the wait of when am I going to find out about it. I never asked my dr that one. At least I can look forward to knowing that I do have an u/s appt for March. I am not looking forward to drinking all that water, but at least I got the appt. Do they usually tell you the results right away of a pelvic u/s?

I am on CD11 right now so I am hoping to get some good BDing in the next week or two. I don't know if it will work or not. My acupuncturist wants me to hold off this month so she can figure out my temps, but I don't know if I can hold off IF the signs are right. I understand that she wants to figure things out, but what if this is THE month that we are successful at TTC? I can't ignore any chance.

Shejayd - hope AF shows for you as well, but it sounds like it will. The worst thing is the waiting game to see when it is going to show.

Shejayd · 02-22-2008, 03:12 AM

I got AF today. This is totally exciting, as i am sure i will O soon...Although 14 days isnt that soon, but still, no harm in hoping...Thats if i O at all. I got an appointment at the genetics clinic for Feb 27 to get an accurate reading on my fetal karyotyping results. So I am nervous and excited about that. Its our last appointment before we are "allowed" to TTC. Meh, i could care less, you cant stop me from BDing.

Violet- Same to you, if you have to signs, no point in waiting, cause it could always be the time right? I hope that you dont have to go to the RFC and everything works out. Pelvic u/s results usually come 2 days after you do the u/s. And with the wait for the RFC, I only waited 2 months, but i was refered to the Recurrent Loss Clinic, out of the fertility clinic (same office, same doctors, different testing) So i think thats what got us in quicker. I hear that the average wait is between 3-5 months, and it might even be more now because there are so many people waiting to get in. My friend Terra has waited over a year, but had to cancel her last appointment from September, so was put on the list again. If you do need to go, i hope that your wait is short.

Mel- Where are you? Whats new?? Hows your cycle going? Anything new?

Emily- Hi- (waves)

weemes · 02-25-2008, 06:55 PM

Hi Ladies, I was in Van/Seattle last weekend so I'm just back now.

Violet: I waited from July to January 2nd for my first appointment. Then they meet you, send you off for tests and tell you to come back in 3 months. The wait is a killer. I'm not trying to get you down- I just wish someone had told me that realistically it would be a year to start any treatments. Did your DH get a s/a? They'll want one prior to your first appt and sometimes to get into the lab it can be a month wait so call as early as you get your rec form. I never had to do the water thing for my u/s. It was internal and they want you to have an empty bladder for it. That was so handy! They don't give results over the phone but you could ask a ton of questions to the u/s tech about what they see. I asked how thick my lining was, if I had any polys, fibroids, cysts and if I had any follies.

Sheena: I'm glad you got AF- now you can get started. I have my next appt on Monday. Yahoo- that was the longest 12 weeks of my life!

peanut · 02-27-2008, 02:32 PM

I haven't been on soulcysters for such a long time but thought today was the day. I'd like to join you guys however I am not TTC. I am adopting and getting close. We are a match to a little boy and actually have a meeting with his social worker this monday(mar3).

Look forward to getting to know everyone.

Shawna

weemes · 02-27-2008, 06:46 PM

Welcome Shawna! Are you in Calgary?

May I ask, did you do private adoption? Of course you can join, welcome welcome welcome... one way or another, we're all looking to start a family :-)

peanut · 02-27-2008, 08:27 PM

I am in Calgary and I have met Sheena a couple of months ago.
No we are not doing a private adoption i find them very expensive. This way I thiink i'll end up spending may 200.00.

Shawna

weemes · 02-27-2008, 08:38 PM

I didn't want to ask you how much so I thought I'd just ask if it was private or public. WOW, $200, unreal, I thought it was like 20k! That's so wonderful. I'd love to hear more details about him, how old is he and so on...

Shejayd · 02-28-2008, 03:15 AM

Update- Good news! We saw the genetacist today....If DH is a carrier of Angelmans he has an extremely low risk (dr said 1-5%) what a relief. I found out that i would have had a girl...That was a little hard to hear, but also a relief at the same time to actually know...46 xx normal female karyotype...He also told us that now is the best time to TTC because i am fresh off the pill and my eggs are rearing to go...Hehehehe. So we have been BDing, and wont stop until CD22, which what FF calculated as my usual o time prior to the pill. I might even have a normal cycle this time, so i could o as soon as CD 8-14...ARG! I am getting way to involved again...Oh well. I am in a fantastic mood.

Shawna - Hhhiiiiiiii! I have missed you! Thats so exciting about your process! Adoption is so wonderful. How old is he? I really hope everything goes as planned. How are you? Hows work and life and all that mushy stuff??

Mel- Boo! Eekk.... Lol. I am in a really good mood. I wish you could all have my a piece of my mood.

peanut · 02-28-2008, 05:36 PM

I don't know alot of stuff yet except that we are matched to a boy who is 4yrs old. We should know more on monday at our meeting

sheena I was thinking maybe we need another group dinner to catch up on things and meet some new people. I promise to even talk a little more.

Shawna

weemes · 02-28-2008, 05:57 PM

Sheena: ~tears of joy~ for you! You must be so excited to get started. I'm glad you put a ticker on so I can keep up with your cycle!

Edit- Sheena, I couldn't see your chart, it was just a link to the ticker factory thing. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, I just read your blog, your picture looks awfully familiar...
