Constance I don't blame you at all girl!! That sucks you have to wait but like you said, talk to your doctor Monday and tell him exactly what happened and how you feel and I would base your decision on whether to stay or find a new doctor on his response. Maybe he will talk to the nurses and techs and things will get better. You don't deserve to be treated like that, this is their job and if they have no compassion maybe they should consider different avenues!! RUDE MEDICAL STAFF TICKS ME OFF!! I will be thinking of you this weekend!! Love Karen

Gwen, Thanks for the congrats..I am so frustrated with my ob right now.. not so much with him as a person but with the office...I went in for my third draw this morning and the tech was different..she was very rude and had a big attitude..i told her that she would have to use the littlest needle b/c i am still bruised from my first one..well she opened it and i asked her if that was the smallest one and she said "NO" and then she jammed it in my arm..when I got up she knew I was mad.. Well I called @ 2 to get my results and they said a nurse would call me back then @ 4 and still no one had called so i called them and they said that everyone has left for the day..they said that I would have to call back Monday afternoon b/c they wouldn't be open monday morning..and i am supposed to get another draw monday at the latest..so i don't know what to do.. they don't seem to be as interested in the importantness of my tubes..I just don't feel it..I mean my actual dr is a really good guy but everyone else just seems so, ugh..I'm going to have a talk with him monday and let him know how I feel..and about that tech..i am going to tell him how i was treated and if it's going to be like that then i don't want to come here..I will find another dr if that's the service i am going to get..NO pregnant women should be treated like that.. Well sorry about venting but I am just so aggravated today.. I am trying to stay calm for my babies.. Hope all is well with everyone.. come on ladies we need some more BFP's.. Lot's of baby dust..

grateful, I can understand your DH refusing to get tested. It is 20x more scary for a male, I think, because they think if by some chance the test comes back less than perfect, it's their whole manhood. I think we females on here are a little more matter of fact at this point. We are the ones that had the surgery, and have to test, etc each month. I don't know your situation, but even thou my DH does not have any children of his own, when he was 19 his g.friend got pregnant (she chose to terminate which devestated him). Anyway he said because of the + before, he knew everything was fine with him. So here I am peeing on a hundred sticks it feels like each month, BD at all the right times, etc, and no BFP's. Right now I am in the middle of my test month (day 3, HSG, day 21, thyroid). I told my DH "I wish that I had done all these tests prior to TR, but we scheduled, and had surgery so quickly, there was no time". I felt like I was doing everything, and all he was having to do was give me the spermies, when I said "go". I just wanted all the test result paperwork in front of me, so that if we get discouraged, we can look and say,"look, everything checks out, we can do this, it WILL happen!!" so even thou we know that he is fine, please just go and get a SA done for me. Well, my DH did a SA "just for me" and it did in fact come back w/elevated white blood cells which affects the semen. He was in total disbelief, but is now on medication for 10 days, then another SA will be done 2 weeks after that. I hope that you can convience your DH to have the SA done, even if it is just "for your own piece of mind". GL!

Thanks Karen! DH and I will be BDing tonight and in the morning. The little swimmers will have plenty of time to travel because I will be in the bed all day because I have to go to work tomorrow night. Today I woke up with an itchy throat, stuffy/runny nose...think I am catching a cold for some reason and I hope it does not interfer with the egg catching, lol. As always, thanks for your input for it is always greatly appreciated!!

Tessa if you got your peak today make sure to not only BD today but tomorrow and the day after your peak. My first month using it... I got my BFP, and that is what we did. I was on peak for two days and I made sure to BD day after just in case GOOD LUCK!!
Grateful, thank you for the congrats. My thoughts are with all the ladies TTC. I pray for health, happiness and a sticky bean for you all everyday:)
grateful... I understand completely. DH goes today for his SA. We bd'd every other day and the Dr said that in order to do an SA, you have to go 2 to 4 days w/o dbng. So today is the day. He has been great... I agree... if there is a problem on his end... then why would I have to keep testing, temping, and chart? I assume that the results will be back in a few days and we both are pretty excited to see where we go from here. I am going to be 43 next month... ugh! But, I feel great. I used to think 43 was old... but now that I am so close to 43... I have changed my mind.
I have been having these cramps that go all the way around to my lower back. Not pleasant but, I am tolerant. I don't really know if I o'd this past month. Anyway.... we continue our journey.

good morning ladies. just thought that i would stop and congratulate the new mommies to be. we haven't been testing or anything this month. last month really upset me so i don't know if i can do it again. so i have been laying low and just concentrating on me. i do miss you all though. crazy how you can miss someone you don't even know. dh and i have been bding every other day this month and then we just stopped. so i don't think i even made it to "O" day. he just lost interest i guess. i went to dr on cd3 and had blood drawn. doc said that everything looks good and just keep trying. he wants my dh to get tested if we don't get pg in two months. but my dh refuses to test. he said we will just continue to try. well if he's shooting blanks then why keep trying. so we are struggling with that one. so its been a long few months for us. im crossing my fingers that we try a few more times this month. i am not checking to see when i "o" we are just hoping to hit the nail on the head. again congrats ladies on your bfp

Hey Ladies! -- I've been so busy this week, that I haven't had much of a chance to check in! I leave for Atlanta for 9 days starting next week and have a TON of stuff to do before I leave...and coming back is likely to be just as crazy!!
Anyway, I hope everyone keeps their heads up. I know this isn't easy for those of us who want babies...NOW I feel like my clock is ticking (I'm 39)! I did IVF last year and was so disappointed when it didn't work that I felt like TR was the better decision. Since the IVF, I feel like 10 months of my cycles have been taken away from me (that's how many eggs they took) so I'm really struggling with time!
I hope we are all blessed with the things that we want in life. Keep up the faith ladies!
