I was thinking of you recently Rachel. I'm sorry things are not so good for you. For me, I had to depersonalize TTC. It's hard to explain, but I made a conscious decision to not let infertility define me or let it run my life. It is a part of my life, but just that...only a part.

Can I ask how old you are? Is saving for an IVF in a few years feasible? I've heard that there are programs in the states that provide IVF to some people for free. I'd have to look it up, it's been a long time since I saw a reference to it.

My positive hpt's were from the hcg trigger I had this cycle. It's out of my system now, so those were technically false positives. I'm hoping I'll see one again this cycle!

Shea, *hugs* what CD are you on now? I wish this could be easier. Sometimes taking a break is necessary though. Thinking of you.

I'm 24, but I have Crohns disease. We don't know how long remission will last, so we don't know how much time we have to wait.

We are also in debt with student loans and cc bills. We can't start saving for IVF until those are paid off. We make monthly payments and have enough left over for a baby but right now all of that money is being eaten by RE visits and testing. We can afford a baby, just not the treatment required to get one. Our state doesn't require insurance to cover any infertility treatment or testing.

Also, my husband is 30. His sperm count and quality isn't going to get better as he grows older. It feels so hopeless. He doesn't want to use a sperm donor and I understand that. I just don't know what options we have but to keep trying for a fluke miracle or just give up.

I hope you get a real BFP too!

Rachel, have you considered something like this?

Hi ladies

Lisser- thank you so much for posting that. It may come in handy soon. Did you test today?

yes Shea, it was BFN. Still early though, so I'm not calling it game over yet. I'll use a frer tomorrow then I have the antral follicle count ultrasound, and I'll try asking the tech if she sees anything. :)

Awe lisser I was hoping you'd have a BFP by today. My OPK is a BFN too though. It is stark white. :(

Good morning ladies.

I hope you all are having a great Monday (if there is such a thing lol) Im going to be headed to town with my mom while they finish their Christmas shopping. I love Christmas but wish that it wasn't so gift-oriented...people get so wrapped up in buying presents that it kinda defeats the purpose. Anyways, can't wait to hear from all you ladies today. BIG HUGS to you all.

Well, my frer was negative this morning, and the u/s tech said that she couldn't see any indications of pregnancy in my uterus. I do however still have 2 large follicles on my right ovary.

I'm expecting that AF will show on time on Thursday. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I should test out the rest of this cycle.

Hey Ladies:

I think I may have just gotten a super faint BPF.

Where's the picture Faith?!!
