Getting Pregnant Forum

Thanks. That's sweet.

I haven't been on much the past couple of weeks. I think I had one post last weekend and that's it.

How are things with you? You must be in your 2ww now. When is af due?

I am doing alright. I'm nearing my o date. In fact, it could be today. I'm not taking opks but I am temping, at least until tomorrow anyway. Tomorrow is cd 14 and we are going to Italy for a week. I'm hoping to have a good bd session before we head to the airport.

I had an HSG on Tuesday. The doctor that did it said that everything looks normal, but my RE is going to give it a closer inspection. It did hurt quite a bit. It's a sharper pain than mentral cramps and I found it easier to take shallow breaths because deep breaths made it hurt more. The good news is that it is short and the pain goes away quickly. The worst part is waiting for the second tube. The doctor said that the die usually wants to go toward one tube but they had to check both tubes. It took about an extra minute for the die to go through the second tube. I spotted for about a day afterward.

I got the authorization for the HSG and for an FSH on Saturday, but the insurance still managed to irritate me with it. They pre-dated the authorization to start two weeks before we got it. It expires on December 31. If I ovulate tomorrow on CD 14 and have my typical 13 day luteal phase, my FSH would be scheduled for Christmas Day (cd 3). If I had known that I would have been covered two weeks ago, I'd have had my FSH already. At least we aren't leaving town for Christmas. Another positive is that my mil lives pretty close to the branch of the clinic that has weekend and holiday hours, so we can pop in for the FSH on our way to her house for the holiday.

The authorization also covers a follow-up consult to talk about our test results. That consult will have to be sometime after the FSH results and before the end of the year. I don't even know if that is possible.

I've been spending a lot of my time getting ready for Christmas and our trip. Part of it is for a conference, so I have to make sure I'm ready, and the rest is vacation. I've spent a lot of time gathering information booking hotels and figuring out where to go and whether we need to reserve tours. I haven't even started packing.

I'm also trying to finish my Christmas shopping by today, at least for my family. We are spending the holiday with my dh's family so my family's gifts have to be shipped. That means today is the last day to get them gifts on time.

Our internet was down on Tuesday and Wednesday, which made it harder to do anything. It's amazing how dependent we've become on the internet.

Shorty???
