Bad News on hCG

I had an hCG done yesterday and it confirmed that both of my tubes are blocked. DH and I did some talking and I did some crying. He is very supportive and caring. I don't know what I would do without him. He went with me to have the test done and watched on the monitor as the dye went in. You could clearly see the bicornuate or horned/heart shape of my uterus, and the good news is that both sides were large, so there shouldn't be a problem with a baby growing and having enough room. We are looking into the options with invitro now.

anovulatory

It is looking like no ovulation this month. According to my chart going by temperatures and past history, today should be ovulation day. That means the LH hormone should have showed by now. I've been testing morning and afternoon to make sure I don't miss it, and once again it was negative this morning. I will keep testing for a few more days to make sure.

Waiting one more month

My DH and I had a talk and decided to wait one more month before trying. I have a little dental work that needs to be done, and also we will know more what is going on next month with the HSG test. This will also allow a little more time to build up folic acid stores. All-in-all, it really makes sense to wait one more month, but I am still disappointed. I was really looking forward to trying this month.

A new beginning

I feel like this is a new beginning. My DH and I were able to have sex without a condom for the first time since the ectopic last night, and it felt great! Even though there's no chance of having a baby at this point, it was great.

My temperature this morning was 98.0, which means my cycle is doing much better this time. This puts me into CDO 11, where last month I didn't make it past 9 days after ovulation. I am taking this as good news.

Dr.'s OK

DH and I got the OK from the Dr. to go ahead and start trying to conceive. Woohoo!!! We are past time in this cycle, so it will be about three weeks before we actually try. I've started back on the prenatal vitamins so I can build up my folic acid levels. I am so excited!!!

HCG count negative and board ready to go!

Finally this week my HCG count was listed as negative, which means it is less than five and could be zero. That may have been my last blood test. Woohoo!!!

I have been doing a lot of work on http://www.babytalkzone.com and it is almost ready for an official launch, even though officially the board began on March 13, 2005. I changed the software over to vBulletin and purchased a few skins for it. I am integrating Google adsense to help pay for it. I found code to show ads in the middle of posts only when you are a guest, so that will encourage the members to register. It also shows my affiliate ads instead of PSAs, so there is always a good ad showing. I hope to generate enough revenue to cover the expense of putting the board up. If I get real lucky, DH and I will have a baby and the board will cover the expense of day care. Here's to hoping!

Maternity Shop

I saw a maternity shop at the mall today. Funny how I never noticed it before. My depression has lifted and I am on cloud nine! I hope to get the go ahead from the Dr. soon for us to start trying.
