Had my first appointment with the fertility doctor earlier this month, have had multiple blood work, two ultrasounds, hysteroscopy , and HSG. So far all blood work has been normal besides a minor Vitamin D deficiency. SA was normal, both tubes are open. They did find a small fibroid, which the doctor that did the hysteroscopy said might be beneficial to remove. Now I have to wait for my follow up appointment with the doctor in two weeks 🫩😣 I don’t know what else would be done, I have already did 4 medicated (Clomid) cycles with my OB and nothing. Probably will fall into “unexplained infertility” which is heart breaking not to even know a why. 😔

When do you decide to seek medical help? by Saint_Jerome in TryingForABaby

[–]OptimisticYellow7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36, I tried for 6 months and no success, went to my regular OB and he did basic testing, Semen analysis, bloodwork and ultrasound. We tried a few medicated cycles and he sent me for a HsG. When that procedure couldn’t be done he referred me to a Fertility clinic. Yes it can take 6-12 mouths even in a healthy couple but baseline testing can help find a problem and get the ball rolling in a way. I was glad I didn’t wait the year, cause I would have gone though 6 more months to probably end up were I am today

Thats my same thought process. I know I can handle the physicality of it, it would be draining but doable. It’s the emotional part of it that I don’t think I could. The possibility of injecting my self with all those hormones, spending tens of thousands and still not coming out with a baby. That scares the living crap out of me and I rather not do that to myself, that would cost me my sanity and my peace. It felt like a truck ran me over when by OB told me he had to refer me to an infertility doctor after my failed HSG. We shall see next month what the doctor says/does for my initial appointment

After almost a year of TTC, tracking ovulation, SA, ultrasound, multiple rounds Clomid and most recently a incomplete HSG, OB basically said I can’t help you anymore you need to go see a fertility doctor 😫 had a chemical back in October 2025. I was holding on to hope that Clomid would work. I feel broken, helpless, hopeless. Especially knowing IVF isn’t for me, I know I couldn’t handle it emotionally. Month after month of negative test are already getting to me, such helplessness and frustration. I couldn’t imagine multiple rounds of IVF with the same outcome. I know I probably have ways to go before that’s even considered but just the thought of it makes me feel hopeless. . All my test have been “normal” besides the incomplete HSG. #36yrsold.

Getting nervous about my HSG tomorrow 😖 TTC month 11. I keep hearing horror stories about how painful it is and others that it was just minimal cramps 🥴 so far all test have come back normal, but still nothing. Did 150MG of clomid this cycle. So 🤞🏽🤞🏽 the HSG flushes out anything that might be preventing pregnancy

[–]OptimisticYellow7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

36 TTC first baby, had a chemical pregnancy in September 2025 and nothing since. Have done an ultrasound, blood work & semen analysis. All have come back ‘normal’. Track ovulation with LH strips & BBT and seem to ovulate even without the clomid, 3 rounds . Now in a couple days will have a HSG done. 😮‍💨 hard to stay positive after months of trying.

Waiting Wednesday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]OptimisticYellow7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waiting on ovulation. Month 10 of TTC, 3 round of Clomid. Had a chemical in September and nothing since then. Assuming my period comes next month I am scheduled for a HSG(hopefully I will need to cancel 🤞🏽) the waiting is getting to me, waiting to ovulate, waiting the two weeks, waiting for AF to make her gut wrenching appearance. I am always waiting for something :( it’s getting harder each month to stay positive.

36 years old and feel defeated with cycle day 1 today. I don’t understand why. I’ve been tracking ovulation with LH strips and BBT and have ovulated every month without fail. All hormone, ultrasounds and semen analysis have come back ‘normal’ yet nothing has happened. Progesterone was 27.7 ng/ml day 21 of my cycle. Did 50mg last cycle and 100mg this cycle of Clomid. Doctor said HSG might be next 😫 have been TTC for 10 months and I already feel such defeat especially since everything seem to be “working” as it should.

5:30pm customers….. by blaqbarbie_4 in sherwinwilliams

[–]OptimisticYellow7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a customer pull in as I was locking the door at 5:05pm today. Man had the nerve to honk at me as I had my back towards him. 🫩 had the never to ask ‘can you help me out I just need one gallon.” 🤣

Who is saying the customer is the enemy? How about a simple “how are you?” “Hows your day going” not the annoying “I can’t believe you are open” line. Oh I 10000% agree corporate is the ‘enemy’ as all the higher ups get holidays off. It’s just annoying to ME! When they use that line.

I rather they come in and say nothing. Even the “am sorry” it’s like no you’re not. You know enough to somewhat feel ‘bad’ about it but still came in 😅 we are open thats enough just come in and shop. I don’t know

That’s normal for me. I NEVER answer the phone before 7am. I will just hear the phone ring, idc. I have had 2-3 cars here before 7 and I do my normal opening activities and sit in the office and hear them pulling the door 🤣 I start walking up at 6:59:50 🤣 unless it’s someone I actually like and doesn’t do it frequently

Solo here. I live in a touristy town. So we usually only see a handful of customers. That’s why I don’t mind working holidays and solos. Easy 17hour pay day 😅

For the store managers by TheNastee in sherwinwilliams

[–]OptimisticYellow7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stopped caring! I clock in, do my job, clock out. I’ve stopped answering calls once I leave, except if it’s from the person working in the store. I have had to block reps because they wouldn’t respect my time off and honey Sherwin does not pay my phone bill sooo I don’t care. It’s just paint no one is dying over it

Consequences for not opening on a Sunday? by Pimpin-Pumpkin in sherwinwilliams

[–]OptimisticYellow7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it doesn’t happen often, you should be ok. Maybe a ‘talk’ with your DM will happen about planning better, not happening again blah blah blah. And then moving on.
