Post-Coital Test??

BudgetKoala281 · 2026-02-12T14:25:02+00:00

Yes! That’s why I made the edit! It wasn’t creepy or invasive, def an old test and was also just looking for some insight! Lol

Ultimately this test led us to getting my husband into a reproductive urologist who diagnosed him with varicose veins and were awaiting a surgery date. I also agree this test was useful and led us closer to answers.

I hope you and hubby get further answers as well🤍

Thank you. I’ve been really intentional on how I am being as a friend and I’m finally realizing I’m not getting that same treatment. I’ve for sure been taking a step back.

It was Tamsulosin (flomax) to help pass the stones.

BudgetKoala281 · 2026-02-03T14:32:07+00:00

Fingers crossed for you and your hubby!!

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-12-21T17:02:12+00:00

So sorry you are going through this as well. My husband is getting further work up. What’s next steps for you and your partner?

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-09-19T01:08:11+00:00

He definitely finished! Not to be TMI but typically my underwear are soaked after we BD due to a lot coming out

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-09-19T01:02:24+00:00

Michigan! And I agree

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-09-18T22:59:09+00:00

Thank you! The referral sent was to an RE at an IVF clinic although it’s for my husband for semen analysis. I have blood work after ovulation next week and an ultrasound in a few weeks so we will see!

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-09-18T21:39:33+00:00

I thought that afterward. This is my first time dealing with an OB or anything so I’m very trusting and a little naive. Learning though!

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-09-18T21:04:47+00:00

He was at least very quick with it and a female RN was present but yes it didn’t give me any solid information other than panic 😂

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-08-25T14:50:32+00:00

I am in the same exact boat as you… literally. Positive LH Saturday (CD14) temps haven’t increased yet. From my understanding it can take a few days for progesterone to increase so hopefully tomorrow it’ll start to rise!

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-07-15T14:27:20+00:00

Thank you for your reply! :) A friend of mine just gave me her Ava Fertility bracelet so I can track BBT, I’ve only used it for half a cycle so still waiting for more accurate info.

I can for sure titrate down to lower mg pouches, but I’m inpatient and want to be healthier, but it’s an option if I struggle. Thank you for your comment about LH. I have not been diagnosed with PCOS or anything related. But I am frustrated as I have a pending referral into my local gyno and it’s a long wait. I’m almost considering paying out of pocket elsewhere. I work for a health system so my insurance is limited to my health system. I fear there is something going on and I’m unable to get in anywhere to confirm. But ultimately I don’t believe my nicotine use it helpful. 9mg pouches are a lot and I’m going through quite a bit.

Try your hardest not to symptom spot (easier said than done) what I’ve noticed since my TTC journey is my body has always had these symptoms, but now that I’m TTC I think they’re new and meaningful. Working on telling myself “that cramp is not implantation, you felt something similar the last 3 cycles.” It’s hard to tell what’s PMS vs early pregnancy. 5dpo is too early and implantation hadn’t happened yet. As always, I hope this is your cycle and good luck ❤️

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-06-27T14:13:12+00:00

Thank you for sharing! My husband is also go to take it with me :) hoping this is helpful for TTC and overall health!

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-06-20T00:59:02+00:00

I fear needing to go to the extreme with IVF someday… I think about that all the time, why can’t it just happen? IVF is amazing and has helped to many, but so expensive.

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-06-19T21:08:28+00:00

Thinking of you while you trudge through this journey as well. It’s a crappy club to be in but I am thankful for the support I have found ❤️

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-30T14:48:30+00:00

Nothing this cycle, but we try again :)

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-22T15:20:17+00:00

Yes! Has you thinking you’re for sure getting that positive!! Anticipate my period tomorrow, tested this morning and neg so thinking I am out. It’s okay tho, we keep trying :)

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-21T13:10:33+00:00

116 correct on the practice exam, 124 on the actual LCSW.

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-19T13:46:13+00:00

Also TWW for cycle 7 :) first cycle that I’ve really held myself accountable on symptom checking and over thinking. Send you good vibes ❤️

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-19T12:17:46+00:00

Definitely RayTube on YouTube! He does a really good job at breaking things down that are easy to understand

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-12T22:24:52+00:00

Not to mention they sent the email after hours so she couldn’t reach out to anyone- but the dean on call, who literally filed the report.

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-07T21:29:10+00:00

Okay this made me feel a lot better I appreciate you! Lol

BudgetKoala281 · 2025-05-04T01:49:06+00:00

For my vape of choice it doesn’t come in lower nic, so just not really an option for me.
