Hi Girls,

If you wish to join the thread just post your details with your DPO/DPIUI/DPET/etc and I will be happy to add you in our waiting list below. I try to update this thread daily in the evening EST.

SSBD to all.

my mid-leutal progesterone came back 27.4. Not too excite even though I know it is a good number because i get these numbers every cycle and eventually do not end up bein pregnant

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

Awwww, I hope this is your month.  Stay positive.

I don't know if you saw earlier, I tested BFN this morning, but I was on FF and I was on the chart gallery and I asked it to pull up charts like mine, and 58% of them were pregnancy's and like 26% were ovulatory...the remainder was miscarriage.  I was pumped about that!  Maybe I am just testing too early!

Well, good luck to everyone on the thread!

Heather

[leighanne143]

i just joined this community.  had 2 previous MC's in 5 months and an starting to TTC again.  i just got a positive ovulation test yesterday so i am not sure what that would make me but i know it now puts me in the 2WW.  AF started on 5/20, so where would that put me?

thanks,

leigh

[G_S]

Heather - i did reply in the previous post and asked you to hang on...u know it's not over until it really is...u might be etesting early because these test give u a positive only at 25...so hang in there and like u tell me..stay positive

[G_S]

leighanne143
---welcome to this thread...i guess u r 1 DPO today...will add u tomorrow. good luck this cycle.

[Lisa2001]

Hey everyone! I am currently in the tww too! How exciting..Leighanne, we are in the same boat also..My last af was on 5/20 too! I actually ovulated on the 30th..so alittle early..I miscarried twice last year..so doc made me have the hsg test done on may 28th so guess it made me ovulate earlier, who knows? But that puts us kinda close together! I am currently have sore bbs, specially near my underarms on both sides, peeing all the time (but whats changed, i always pee alot lol) and crampy..*fingerscrossed* =)

[Lisa2001]

Oh yes..I am currently 6 dpo..

[Joyce49788]

still no af, i think it was due today....and yet today's hpt was bfn... hopefully af will stay away and we will see what happens in the next couple of days...

i just thought i would stop by for a minute before heading to bed...gotta be on the road around 9 in the morning.so bedtime VERY soon.

i will post as soon as i get back either saturday evening or sunday morning

hugs and luv

TONS AND TONS OF SUPER SUPER STICKY BABY DUST COVERED WITH EXTRA STICKY HONEY to all of you lovely ladies ttc.

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

I know, I know....I will stay positive....but only if YOU WILL!  LOL!

[leighanne143]

yes we are very close.  i hope we both get lucky.  i myself had 2 MC's one in Oct 07 and one in Feb 08 and just finished up all my testing last month which all came back normal.  the doctor did put me on progesterone supps so i start those on Saturday, not looking forward to that violation:) haha

funny that we are the same age and have similar losses and the same AF date. weird but neat all at once

[Lisa2001]

I had mc in feb 07 and then again in dec 07..All my testing come back good too..DH does have low sperm count but has taken clomid..so we know we can get preg..just waiting to see if it happened this month..Why did they put you on progesterone supps?? Everyone keeps asking me if they put me on that as well..I don't know much about that..what does it do? And yes that is weird! We'll have to keep each other posted on what happens! I

[tweety380]

Hello there!!!

I got a +ve  in my hometest... !!! I can't believe it still!! I am feeling quite nervous.. i hope it is +ve.

[leighanne143]

the doctor put me on progesterone and baby aspirin just in case cause all my testing came back fine.  he said that the progersterone just helps build and strong lining in the uterus for the baby.

[Keyan]

tweety: Congrats!!! Happy 9 months!

G_S:  thanks for keeping us updated! Hope this is THE month for you!!! Good luck!

Tday No AF 16dpo (BFN on 12dpo), guess it was too early or just my body trying to go back to normal after m/c last cycle. I'll probably wait until monday to test again, just hate getting those ( - ).

Good luck to all!!!!  
for those just starting the 2ww.... try to relax and have a happy 2ww thinking positive all the time :)

[win123666]

Hey all, Im in the 2ww again!

I'm currently 11dpo (or maybe 10dpo) I have my IUI Monday May 26th and 27th. (But I felt ovulation pains on monday night at like 7pm so not sure what to count it as)
I ovulated one egg and DH's sperm count was 50 mil one day and 28 mil the next...
My progestorone came back over 20 which sounds promising! (Last month it came back a at a 6) yet i keep taking hpt and keep getting bfn!!! if i was pregnant wouldnt it show up by now????? the egg would have supposedly already implanted. everyone gets their bfp at 10dpo or earlier.

do you think i still have a chance this cycle??? How is everyone else doing? I'm not really feeling any symptoms at all, except sore bb's...(which i had from the trigger shot) is anyone else feeling anything??

[candie429]

Lisa2007 & leighanne143 - i am so sorry to hear what you've both been through, but hopefully you'll both be successful soon.  It has to work one of these times, right?  :)

Keyan - hang in there!  We'll be hoping that AF never shows and that BFN turns into a nice BFP!

win123666 - Don't get discouraged.  I know there are some women who get their BFP's that early, but a lot of them don't.  It could definitely still happen for you.

G_S - That progesterone number sounds great!  Don't get down on yourself.  I know it's been like that before with no success, but that's all in the past and doesn't mean anything now.  Just believe that this could be your cycle!

tweety380 - Congratulations!  We'll be praying that everything works out for you.  Keep us posted.

As for me, just hangin out at 9dpo today.  Not too much to report.  Have a good day everyone!

[G_S]

Hey friends....i woke up at 6:00 am today and felt really wierd...like sick in the stomach and my legs are feeling so weak...just the way i feel when my af are about to come....dont get it....i am only 8 DPIUI today...any thoughts...

[mommyin10]

G_S:  I don't know, but I've heard that implantation signs sometimes seem like AF signs ??  Does AF ever come this early for you?  If not, it could be a good sign. I sure hope so ! :)

Tweety:  Congrats !  That's exciting news ! :-)

Keyan:  I'm glad to see you're still in this fight !  Here's hoping AF stays clear & you get that BFP !!!  Good luck & SSBD !!! :)

mommyof4andhopefully4:  Hang in there & SSBD !!! :-)

win123666:  Candie's right.  Some people do get BFPs by 10DPO, but so many get them so much later.  14DPO and later.  Best wishes !!! :)

Lisa:  My doc put me on progesterone 'cause my progesterone was too low, causing my luteal phase (between O & AF) to be too short.  She says that if this happens, the lining of your uterus doesn't thicken & your body treats it as though it's time for AF, meaning that if I did conceive, I could possibly m/c.  It can't  hurt to ask your doc about it; right!?  Welcome to the site & best of luck to you !!! :)

Leighanne:  I'll be joining you in the tww most likely tomorrow :)

[Keyan]

G_S:  Ummmm that's sound like something to think about!!! Hope it turns out to be the first prego symptom!!!!

mommyin2009:  Hi and thanks! yeah I'm here waiting on. I beleive you just started your 2ww, how are your feeling, anything strange perhaps :)?

[Keyan]

candie429:  Thanks!  Are you feeling anything strange?, I have some cramps on and off for the last 4 or 5 days, although nothing strong like they usually are before af. I'm cd32, this is the longest I have gone in a cycle for the past year, except for the m/c at cd33.

[Irish741]

Hi ladies,

I am on the 2ww as well. I am on CD22 or 8DPO. Counting down the days till I can test. I am going to hold out as long as I can. Hoping AF doesn't come next week. This is my 2nd month actively ttc. I have been off the pill since November 2007. Fingers crossed for this month. I am hoping the mild cramping I have been experieincing for the past 3 days is a good sign. Glad to be part of the 2ww club with everyone. :) *hugs*

[luvkayln]

G_S Hey girl!! Had my iui this morning, everything went really well! Dh had 39 million sperm and we had multiple eggs. RE says our chance of twins this cycle is 12%, since dh's sperm count was up from 14 million last month. Oooh... i hope this is it for us, but if not, we'll just keep on trying!! Don't get discouraged! Maybe what you were feeling wasn't af signs, but preggo signs. They can feel the same, so don't give up hope!!! So, i guess i'll be 1dpiui tomorrow, so if you could please add me to the list!! :) Thanks so much, and good luck to you!!!!!

[G_S]

[Joyce49788]

i am back my lovely ladies....still no af, BUT i took 3 FRER between last night and this morning and all of them ended up BFN.  i guess it wasnt meant to be this cycle...although with NO AF yet, i will be making a appt with doc on monday.

G_S : DONT mark me off the list just YET....please wait til i go get a beta...lol

the weekend really stunk....anyhow friday started out ok, until we went to pick up the rental car, and they were telling me that my debit card was not going through...BS..i KNOW there was plenty of money on it. so it took me an additional 2 hours to find a car.  then the rest of friday seemed to go "ok"...saturday we got up, got coffee, and took my son to the airport, the plane at first was delayed an hour...ok whatever...then it was delaid an additional half hour.  so i had to wait around the airport with a VERY active 5 yr old for an additional hour and a half....that with the stress of thinking i was gonna be there late with him, and him having to leave to begin with...i almost lost it, but i DID keep my composure.  then when i went to pay for parking...$10.00 omg i have NEVER paid that much for PARKING before.  and traffic was stupid...was like everyone was trying to talk on the phone and read a map all at the same time WHILE driving.  for the most part the trip home went ok.  it just took alot longer than i thought it would and i was tired of being in a car and driving by that point...

anyhow i send out TONS AND TONS OF SUPER SUPER STICKY BABY DUST COVERED IN EXTRA STICKY HONEY************** hugs and luv

[annie276]

I am out...AF came today.  I really thought this was going to be it!  I had the usual pms symptoms - sore bbs, headaches... but additionally had terrible heartburn and had to pee constantly!  Must have been all in my head - your mind can do crazy things to your body I guess.  Anywho...going to have a glass of wine tonight and hope for the best next month.  

Good luck to the rest of you ladies!

[mommyin10]

G_S:  I know you're enjoying yourself in London without a care in the world !!!  But just FYI, I think I'm only 1DPO today (like that means anything to you now !)  Have fun :)

Annie276:  I'm sorry AF showed !  I know it's a disappointment & I wish you lots of SSBD for your next cycle !  :)  Take care !

Keyan:  Hi.  No, nothing yet.  I think I'm only 1DPO today, so wouldn't feel anything yet, other than O & side effects of the progesterone :)  How are you doing?

Joyce:  Sorry you had such a hectic weekend !  It seems like when that happens, one thing leads to the next & it just snow-balls !!!  At least now your son has safely arrived to his destination & you are home relaxing ! :)

[Joyce49788]

hi there all....hope all is going well and you either get your bfp or start your tww soon...i know the waiting is horrible...but we get through it.

mommyin09 : as i just wrote in another note, i guess the previous ones were a waste since now you know "the rest of the story"...lol

yes normally everything snowballs....today i finally broke and cried like a baby... i miss my lil one ALOT and it has only been one day...this is gonna be one hell of a summer. :((

i did talk to my boy tonight and he did his rounds talked to EVERYONE in the house including soon to be dh...i bet that ticked his dad off...lmao

i am trying to relax but the stress is not completely over just yet...gotta take rental back tomorrow, and am afraid to see how much it is gonna be as a final tally...and then i was searching and found out that there is a Hertz right here in my town....for alot less with FREE UNLIMITED MILES... so guess who we are gonna go through from here on....lol

anyhow TONS of SSBD covered in super sticky honey with lots of luv

[Keyan]

Hello ladies.  Good day to all!   AF show up yesterday. I am doing ok and looking foward to this new cycle.

annie276:  Hang in there! Probably this new cylce we'll be the ONE for us! We'll be cylce buddies!

mommyin2009:  You are right too soon!! Hope to hear you say "how sick you feel with soooo many nauseas" just joking, I tell my hubby all the time that I hope this cycle i start feeling sick!!!

[candie429]

I know G_S isn't around, but unfortunately I am "off the list".  AF showed up yesterday in full force.  I'll still keep checking in though and i hope to see many BFP's!!

[dnikki0928]

Hey ladies... Sorry I haven't been around much lately. We did a natural cycle this month due to scheduling conflicts. I got my LH surge on Monday the 2nd, so I'm not entirely sure how many DPO I am. All last week I had what felt like a cross between AF and O cramps. They started going away about Sat. afternoon, and i get them on and off now - like right now lol!

Anyways, good luck to you all in the 2ww and SSBD

Tweety - how are things your way, did you go for a beta? Sooooo Excited!! Good luck!!

[Joyce49788]

just a note to say good luck to all....hugs and luv and
TONS OF SSBD COVERED IN EXTRA STICKY HONEY

[leighanne143]

we are all getting closer :)  hopefully more BFP will start to be posted soon.

how are all you ladies?

[annie276]

mommyin09 - thanks!  I wish the same SSBD to you as well.

Keyan & Candie429 - We're all on the same cycle it seems!  AF showed up for us yesterday - (she's got a lot of nerve).  Good to have a cycle buddy.  Are either one of you doing IUI?  This was my first attempt.  

I am having a super strange period.  So AF showed up yesterday because I got some dark spotting... but then that was it!  Today, my second day, should be my heavy flow day - but only tiny brown spotting and only when I wipe...nothing else.  Took a hpt test yesterday AND today... both BFN.  Jeez, it seems my body likes to play tricks on my mind ...really not nice.

Good luck to everyone!

[Joyce49788]

hopefully everyone will get thier bfp very soon.....af is still no showing up for me, but i am still getting bfn as well.  i am done testing...i am gonna call the doc here in just a bit and see about getting a beta(numbers) done.  and if THAT comes back neg...then see what is going on with my system.

anyhow you are all in my thoughts and SSBD going out to you all

[luvkayln]

Hey girls! Just checkin' in! Sooo sorry for all who got af! That bites, on to the next cycle!! It will happen for us all, we just have to be patient. You know what song cheers me up, have any of you heard that song by guns & roses "patience"? It totally fits what we're going through. Dh always used to tell me when i would say that i wanted to get married and have a baby. He would tell me to listen to that song! So then when i got pregnant with kayln, we got married and i said, i guess it paid off to be patient! Got both things at the same time! LOL!
Anyway, G_S hope you are having a great time!!! I think you'll have a lot of updating when you come home, but i hope you can add yourself to the winner list!!! :)
3dpiui  here, and patiently waiting! Good luck to us all!!!!

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

I'm out.  AF showed.  Onto month number 12......

[luvkayln]

mommyof3- so sorry af showed! :(  Don't give up hope, it will happen!!

[candie429]

Hi annie.  You're right, it looks like the 3 of us will be on the same schedule now.  I wish we were celebrating good news together instead of dealing with crappy AF, but what can you do except start gearing up for another round!  Although in your case though, maybe we can still hold out hope that your spotting won't get any worse.  I know what you mean, I've had many months where AF messed with me and I hate that!  I'm not doing IUI.  Actually, we are in the unexplained category, so we did try Clomid and then Femara (total of 8 cycles) with no BFP, so now we're going it all natural for a while.  Hopefully the IUI works for you this time around.

[Keyan]

mommyof3andhopefully4:  Sorry! Hang in there it will happen soonnnn!!  I am onto month number 37. My af showed yesterday.

Annie276 & Candie429: Yes, we are in the same cycle, got to keep in touch. It seems we are all divided into 2 groups, the ones just getting the AF and the others starting the 2ww!  Hope those of you in the 2ww get lotsss and lotss of BFP so that we keep our hopes up.   As for me, I am going natural, I am thinking to chart my temperatures. Any suggestions welcome.

[tweety380]

How are you all doing? Thanks for your wishes and prayers. I am so glad to have you all by my side... I have yet to take my beta. Will surely keep you all posted.

I am hoping and praying hard for everyone- and hopefully this month will be a good +ve month for all of us and hopefully the winner list will be huge list. Good luck and lots of SSBD to all of you!

mommyof3andhopefully4: I am sorry to hear about AF. I wanted to ask you today if you took the test again. My prayers are with u and hope to hear a BFP news from you soon!

good luck to all!!

[candie429]

Hi Keyan.  Like I said, I'll be going natural too so we can cheer each other on through this journey!  I think charting your temps would be a great idea.  Have you ever done that, or even tried the OPK's?  At least that might help you pinpoint your fertile days.  Just a suggestion, but I started using Fertility Friend where you can enter your data and they do your chart for you and I think it's really cool.  There's a VIP membership that you automatically get free for the first 30 days, but after that, you can still stay on as a regular member and that's always free.  They also have a lot of how-to articles that are really helpful too.  Good luck to you!  

[alikat1205]

has anyone tried the target brand that is supposed to be like FRER?  evap lines? etc.

Mommy of 3 -- i'm so sorry, but injectables soon and maybe thats your answer!

[Joyce49788]

bump.....TONS of SSBD

[Keyan]

Hello! Thanks for the Fertility Friend, I'll check on it. About the OPK, yes I think twice, ahhhh, those tests aren't for me LOL, I just don't get them, to difficult for me, it just makes me more anxious, tooo anxious in fact, those colors always seem the same. I do know (well I think) when I O with cramps and CM, but sometimes I get cramps a couple of days later (after O) and makes me confused.

I don't even  test POAS, I hate getting the BFN, for the first few months of ttc I did, but after maybe 3 o 4 months I stopped, I always waited for AF. I have only done POAS when I am a least 1 day late, and it's been very rare. When I had my m/c I don't know what made me do the test, I wasn't late, guess you just know when you are preggo (well sometimes).

I thought about doing the temperatures, (which is a first for me) cause been reading from all you ladies here, and thought it was an easy way to know if you are or not preggo (without the POAS)... if tempetures stay up for 18 days after O you probably are and if they drop, af is about to show up, RIGHT?!!!?!!!..... Lets see how it goes for me... Me and hubby will probably be laughing our heads off, with this temperature chart thing... earlier I was telling him that he had to take the temperature too, that the instructions said so, it was sooo funny!!  ( I might sound a bit crazy, it's our way of coping with 3years of ttc, we just try to stay happy, and joking around helps us).

Take care, and keep in touch!

tweety380:    How are u feeling? Have u been to the doc yet?  Don't forget to let us know the result of your BETA.

[Joyce49788]

hello all, i do go to see the doc tomorrow and get a beta done.  i am CD39 18dpo and have started spotting old blood...it is definately brown.  very slight amount, tried to check cervix feels pretty high and closed, but not sure...could this be old blood from implantation? any thoughts would be great.

hugs, luv and TONS of SSBD

[Joyce49788]

oh what i forgot to put in is although i did spot some when i went to the loo a few minutes ago the spotting seemed to be done already...hmmm could that be old implantation blood?  idk but hopefully the doc will be able to shed some light on it.  they think that it is from the IUD, that it just has messed my system up...i guess that could be true, but i dont quite buy it. especially when my old ob/gyn who has been practicing for many years (probably since before my fam doc was born) said there should not be an effect...and he has also been my ob/gyn most of the last 14 yrs. so they have my file and can see what my cycles have been and such.  

anyhow best of luck to all of you and i hope i have good news tomorrow..i am gonna assume that she will probably do a urine test as well.

[Lisa2001]

Hey Girls! Guess what!!!! I am as of today 10dpo give or take and have been have stronger symptoms the past few days..such as very sore bb's, cramping, pinching feeling round my belly button, which started today, and constipation..so i took a hpt tonight and it came back very very faint but positive!!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time..I am goin to re-take one in the morning and see what happens...i just hope it isn't a false positive..i know they don't happen alot, but still.  Oh and it came up within 2 minutes..Please keep me in you're prayers, as I will keep all of you in mine! I still can't believe it, nor can my husband..but we are not goin to get our hopes up..Thank you girls for being here!!!

[Joyce49788]

CONGRATS!!!!! lisa

[leighanne143]

how are all you ladies?

anyone getting close to testing?  i am going to start Sunday and my doctor said to come in there June 20th if i do not get a positive at home for a beta level there:)

good luck to all

[Joyce49788]

good luck leigh

i am suppose to go to doc this morning for a beta...not sure if i am gonna go or not..i need to monitor and see if what is going on is af, or something else...am spotting red blood, not real heavy and not sure if it will last long or not. but will call doc when they open to see if they still want me to come in or not.  if they do then i want to make sure that i am able to see the doc, and not just go in quick for blood test.

am suppose to be 20dpo and CD40

[Joyce49788]

oops 19dpo and CD40

[Keyan]

Good luck! Let us know how it goes with your doc.

[Joyce49788]

i will...i think it actually may be af...really kinda crampy again...the crampiness stopped about a week ago, but now it is back with the red spotting.  damn that *****. but will have to see what doc says.  i checked my cervix yesterday and it felt high and closed, so idk.  anyhow i will let everyone know...but appt is not til 11:30

[candie429]

Oh hon, I am so sorry that you've been at this for 3 yrs.  Have the doctors been able to find anything wrong?   We've just hit our 2 yr mark and have never had a BFP, so it's very frustratrating.  I know what you mean about the OPK's.  I've gone through soooo many that I think I finally have it figured out.  I never use HPT's either because I'm so afraid of seeing a BFN.  I'd rather just hold out and watch my temps and wait for AF.  I think part of me is also afraid I'd end up with a false positive and get my hopes up for nothing.  It's so sweet that you and your DH get along so well.  We're the same way and he definitely keeps me going.  Good luck with the temping.  You're right, the rule is that if they stay up for 18 days, you're pregnant.  The cool thing with Fertility Friend is that it automatically enters your O date and coverline once it detects your temp shift, or some other sign like CM or + OPK.  Here's my chart if you want to check it out:

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1f239c

[mommyin10]

Lisa:  Once again, great news !!!  When will you go to your doc?  Best, best wishes to you & LOTS of sticky baby dust :-)

Keyan:  That's so funny that dh thought he'd have to temp !!!  :-)  You're right, though.  It doesn't help to be stressed out & laughter is the best medicine !  I agree, the opks were always confusing to me, too.  I could never tell if the line was dark enough or not, so I switched to the clearblue easy tests, the ones with the smiley face/empty face.  They're more expensive, but once you get that smiley face, you know for sure that you are close to O'ing !  It takes out all the guesswork & then you can pinpoint O much more clearly.  Charting your temp is actually much easier than I expected, too.  Like Candie said, log on to fertilityfriend.com & all you do is put in your temp each morning & their program does the rest for you.  Believe me, it's half the battle to at least know when you're O'ing !  :)  I am 3dpo today & feeling bloated & sluggish, but that's due to the progesterone I have to take.  I won't be testing till around 6/20.

mommyof3...  so sorry about AF !  :(  I know it's a bummer month after month, but all we can do is keep our spirits up & get ready for our next cycle.  Take care !!! :)

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

Thank you to luvkayln, alikat, mommyin09, all of you supporting me....

I talked to the RE nurse yesterday, she said nothing will happen if I take this cycle off too, and it is totally ok.  I just wanted to make sure.  I actually called her and she left me a message saying that.  But I think I am going to call her back and get a little info on injectables.  I know nothing about it.  I don't know when I am suppose to start them.  Is it right after AF?  I feel like I need to get my ducks in a row.  I think I have to go to a class or something to learn?  Not sure.  Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes.  I appreciate it.  I am praying really hard it happens soon.  Actually, I am praying it happens period.

[Joyce49788]

GOOD LUCK to all and i am sending out TONS of SSBD covered in honey for everyone.

hugs and luv and keep me posted.  i am afraid af is actually here. still very light, but dark red with very small clots and a weird almost ew quality mucus too...idk, i have a appt tomorrow to talk to doc and then see about getting a quantitive blood test.

[Keyan]

Candie429   &   Mommyin09 :  Hey! Good day to you ladies!  I took the temp today   GOT a question: do the temperatures during AF count?  I am on AF CD3 and it was 98.48.  It isn't  high? The instrucions said to start the chart with the first day of no AF (probably Thursday).

Candie429:  I have endometriosis, everything else good with hubby too. We tried with clomid on January 2007, ended up with overstimulated ovaries, 2 weeks of bed rest, got on BC pills for 2 months and for the rest of the year got really sick (sometimes I could barely walk), went to sooo many different docs who advice me to not ttc, checking me for lupus, cancer and so many other things...by december 2007 finally I was feeling alot better and the docs beleive everything was due to the hormonal imbalance (clomid and bc pills).. All labs test by december were back to normal Thank GOD! Sooo I think I should say 2 years of TTC, cause 2007 don't count. We did visit a Fertility specialist (June 2007) but he said the same as my OBgyn (cause he had done alot of tests)  haven't been back to the Fertility Spec. Thought about it, but I am sooo scared about all the hormones if we do start with treatment that will harm me instead of helping like it happend before.  Now I am thinking if the m/c had happend before, since I usually don't test, so I figure I need to test to make sure (that's why the temp Chart) If I hadn't test, I would have thought that the m/c was actually a late AF.  I did test this last cycle on 12dpo of course BFN, didn't test again waited for AF (hate looking at the BFNs!).

Mommyin09:  Test on 6/20...OMG soooo long it seems, I'll be couting the days with you for that BFP you will surely get!!! Keep positive!

[Keyan]

Hi!!! I hope you have a good time!  Thanks for taking the time, keeping us updated.

[luvkayln]

G_S Sooo glad you are having a wonderful time in London, and HOW SWEET of you to be thinking of us while you are away! Of course we miss you!! :)

Kenyan- Your post made me laugh so hard! That's so cute that you told dh he had to temp as well! :) I don't think it gets any funnier!!! :)

Well, i'm 4dpo/iui today and am still cramping! What gives.....

[candie429]

G_S - Thanks for taking time out of your vacation to check on us.  It sounds like you are having a wonderful time.  I'm so happy for you.  Sending lots of good vibes your way.  Stay away AF, stay far far away!  

Keyan - I can't believe what you went through and that you lost a whole year of TTC.  That's terrible that the pills affected you so badly.  I can understand why you don't want to go down that road again!  If all your tests came back OK, then you should be just fine on your own.  As for your temps, sometimes they can stay high for the first few days of AF due to leftover progesterone in your system.  That happens to me sometimes.  You should see them go down pretty soon.  Let us know if you have any questions.    

[leighanne143]

wow the 2WW waiting list is getting so big:)  lets add more to the BFP part:)

[hannah1505]

still no a nearlly 6 days late going for blood test thursday x

[Joyce49788]

G_S- unless test tomorrow shows otherwise...i am out AF today 19dpo

[babynr]

Would love to join your "wait list".  A little about me...failed IVF in jan/early feb, embryos weren't great.  This time, my husband and I feel SO positive.  Embryos were many and of great quality.  2days pet am feeling great!  Did acupuncture for 2 mos, NO side effects from meds, crediting acu for that.  I'm 46 using donor eggs and icsi re oligospermia.  I have 2 teenage daughters that I've raised as a single mom.  This is the man of my dreams and I want so dearly to give him a child.  The things we do for love!!  Tons of babydust and blessings to those on the wait!!

[mommyin10]

G_S:  You are awesome !  I can't believe you took time to check on us & give us an update :)  And yes, of course we miss you & I'm jealous !!!  I want to go on vacation, but I'll just live vicariously through you :)  Thanks & have a wonderful time !

Keyan:  Yes, your temps during AF can be a little wacky.  Were dh's temps a little high, too?  Just kidding !!!  :)  I usually start temping once AF is gone or a few days later.  Ask if you have any questions & take care ! :)

babynr:  Welcome !!!  So, 2 days pet is post-embryo transfer?  I'm 3 dpo, so we're close :)  I sure hope this works for you !  SSBD !!!

[Lisa2001]

ITS coNfirmed!! I'm PREGNANT!! Find out my hcg levels tomorrow! Thank you girls for being here for me! I am sooo excited..but alittle nervous too! Goodluck to everyone..I will post tomorrow with my numbers!

[ALT76]

To Lisa:  CONGRATS!!!!  That's AMAZING!!!

To Everyone:  YAY!  I'm BACK!  I officially had my embryo transfer this morning and I test 6/19 - it's good to be back with you all! :o)

[PhenomenalWoman]

Hey I'm 1dpiui.  I had IUI done on Monday..now for the 2ww!

[Keyan]

mommyin09:     Hi! laughter is what keep us going. I told hubby he had to take temp 3 times a day to see when it was the best time to bd (kind of makes a little sence, doesn't) He looked at me like: "are you serious?"....so funny!  I'm happy that I made you laugh, hopefully!

My temps went down 97.35, thanks for your reply.

Good luck to all of you just starting the 2ww....I am sooo hoping to start seeing BFP soon

SSBD to all

[candie429]

Lisa2001 - Congratulations!  Best wishes for a healthy and happy journey ahead.  Let us know how your hcg levels come out.

keyan - Good to hear that your temps have leveled off.  I can't believe you told DH he had to temp to see when you could BD.  That is too funny!  :)

babynr, ALT76, PhenomenalWoman - Welcome!  I think you'll find that the ladies here are very supportive.  I hope you'll be seeing BFP's soon!

[mommyin10]

Alt76 & PhenomenalWoman:  Welcome !!! :)

Lisa:  Looking forward to hearing your results today ! :)

leighanne:  I agree with you !  You're testing soon; right?  Maybe you'll be our next BFP... sending sticky baby dust your way !  :)

Keyan:  You're too funny !  I'm glady you're getting the hang of temping.  Did you check out Fertilityfriend or are you using this site's ovulation tracker?  I'm just 4dpo, so waiting... waiting... waiting !  :)  Take care !!!

[Joyce49788]

CD2 and am very disappointed but with everything else going on i probably need to just relax and not read into everything sooo  much.  i wish you all luck and luv and TONS of SSBD w/Honey...lol

[Keyan]

Joyce:    Sorry about AF... probably your body is just trying to go back to normal. Try to relax and have fun this next cycle .

Mommyin09: I am counting w/ u ... 9 more days, right?

For those of you that HATE when people keep on asking "when will you have a baby"  Just say: "Well we are practicing, almost every day, when I have it to perfetion you'll be the first to know" (Of course, say it in a kind of scarstic and funny way) .....they never ask again.

SSBD to all  

[Keyan]

Mommyin09:  Forgot... yes I did check the fertily friend, thanks, I'm trying to understand it, I think I have it... I'll let you know so you can check it out when it has a little more lines and dots.


Annie276: How are you doing? Hope to hear from you soon!

[Stacey1718]

Yippee!  Finally in the 2ww again!  I have not been here for a while since my first attempt at IUI left me with cysts, and I had to take break.  This cycle is semi-natural.  I have not been on injections, but I have been monitored by u/s.  It took me 20 days to grow one nice follie 20mm :) and then I took the HCG trigger shot yesterday to ensure it releases.

Since I had the trigger shot yesterday morning, I should O today, which means tomorrow (Friday) I will be 1dpo.  

Lisa2001 - Congrats!!!  Look forward to your updates!

GS - It sounds like you are having a lovely vacation.  I'll remind you to add me to the list in case you forget (which is totally understandable :) )

BFP hopes to everyone!
Stacey

[Joyce49788]

i am doing everything i can to stay relaxed and to take my mind off of everything...hopefully things will settle down and whatnot.
i am tracking my cycle on my tracker here on medhelp and well as fertilityfriend...it is a good thing to go ahead and know your cycle anyhow...lol
hugs and luv and ssbd

[MamaTina89]

RE called and rescheduled my bloodwork for tomorrow instead of Friday!!

[candie429]

Keyan - That is so funny that you said that!  When my DH gets annoyed with people, he always says "practice makes perfect".  Sometimes you just have to be a smarta$$ and then people will realize that they're out of line!

[mommyin10]

Keyan:  That's so funny !  :)  I like the quotes that both you & Candie mentioned !  I'll have to adopt those !  A few times, I was asked when I was planning to get pregnant & I simply said, I'll be sure to let you know when I do... or you'll be the first to know when I do... Of course, I said it with a smile & there wasn't much to say after that :)  I sure do appreciate you counting with me, Keyan ! :)  If AF doesn't show, I think I'll test around the 18-20th, somewhere in there.  The 18th will be 11dpo.  The 22nd is my 36th b-day & it would  be nice to celebrate with a bun in the oven !  :)

[alikat1205]

i am 10 dpo, i never have any symptoms at all every month, and i always get bfn.  hate to get my hopes up, but this month i have super sore bb's, but trying to keep myself from seeing it as a symptom.  but of all the months, this one i finally got a symptom.  i say i'm not going to get my hopes up, but i know i will anyway.....

[candie429]

alikat - I know what you mean about trying to not get your hopes up, but I know how discouraged you have been lately and I'm really hoping that those sore bbs are a good sign!  I know everyone here will join me with sending prayers and good wishes your way.  Best of luck to you!!!

[Keyan]

Hey ladies! Just stopping by to say hi.

Alikat:   A few more days to go...lets hope those super sore bb's (SSbb's) turn into a very nice BFP and get even extra SSbb's!!!

MamaTina89:  How did it go? Results yet?

Stacey1718:  Welcome back, have a lucky 2ww!

Lisa2001:   looking foward to your post about the numbers

Joyce49788: There's a few of us here that are about to be off AF...we are keeping it together until we start the countdown.

Mommyin09:  8 more days....Ohh I'll pray for that big present you deserve!!!

Candie429: You and your Hubby sure got it right..."practice makes perfect"

G_S:  Hope you are having fun!!

As for me I'm almost off AF and hubby and me will start the BD Practice once again...Hope this time we have right by the time I'am O'ing

SSBD to all

[babynr]

Thanks for the welcome!  So nice to see some BFP's congrats!!!!  Yes my transfer was on June 8th, so I'm 2 weeks 4 days pregnant!  Have to think positive right? I will be testing on the 23rd.  Keyan, you made me laugh, OMG, practice practice practice!  Great advice!!  Look forward to all news,  hang in there mommies!!

[MamaTina89]

Not good news for me today. The Femar and and Novarel shot didnt work. I NEVER ovulated! My test results came back at 1.16!! WTF?!?!?! I needed atleast  15.0 to show ovulation. So my RE said that if AF doesnt show up in 10 days to call her and they would get it started 4 me..Oh Yippee, more Provera! YUCK! So, thats MY day. Hope everyone else's day is better tghan mine!:(

[alikat1205]

thank you so much for your kind wishes.  i am 11 dpo i think.  i won't get too excited yet, but i think i got a very faint bfp on an frer.  never got an evap on those, so maybe.... still waiting, not calling dr. yet....

[hannah1505]

[leighanne143]

[Keyan]

Alikat:   OMG!!! I bet that line is getting darker!  let us know.

Leighanne:  Congrats!!!

MamaTina:  I'm sorry it didn't work for you this time. Hopefully you'll have a better one next time.

babynr:  Yes you are! good way of thinking. Glad I made you smile.

hannah:  Sorry for your loss :( extra SSBD to you

[Joyce49788]

thanks....i started spotting brown on monday, was anywhere from pink to dark dark red on tues and wed....tues was VERY BAD cramps...and then light pink again thursday (yesterday) and then by around 3pm..done gone.

after the IUD was placed...i was spotting brown to red several days a week...EVERY week.  and that went on for the last 4 months that i had it in.  I was bleeding when it was removed May 2nd.  and bled on and off for about 6-7 days.  i dont remember ever having af be this light.  i mean the flow was Medium, not real heavy...and only lasting 2 1/2 days...WOW  i could get used to that.  i just dont want those cramps.  lol

sorry a little tmi, but now i am CD4 and just waiting, since i really dont know when my cycle is suppose to O i just have to watch body signs and go from there...lol

hugs and luv and SSBD

[Keyan]

Hi! Did you ever go to your doctor? Don't remeber if you did or not, and since you seem to have a strange AF, just thought that if you haven't gone to the doc, you should, so that you find out was going on, did you ever got a BETA?  

[melissa121303]

I test on Monday!  This is my first IVF cycle.  txfr was June 5.  Cramping...but not bad, no bleeding/spotting.  I'm so incredibly stressed out right now!!  I can't wait for Monday and its taking all of me to not do a HPK!!!

[Joyce49788]

no after af showed up i figured that it was my body readjusting...i am gonna watch signs and such...just not SO closely for the next month and go from there.  so i didnt get beta OR see the doc.  there was cramping and clots so i am pretty sure that the IUD just really messed me up as i have NEVER had cramps, major clots, or sore bbs before af.  idk but if i happen to have had early preg bleeding then it will show up next month.  i am not trying to worry about it.  i just have a gut feeling that it WAS af.  

anyhow good luck to all this cycle and hopefully those in the 2ww WILL get lucky this time around.  hugs and luv and SSBD w/HONEY

[luvkayln]

Hey girls! I haven't really posted on this thread much, but am still thinking of all of you, hoping we see some BFP's! :)  Well, today i'm 9dpo/iui and have been having some symptoms, but really trying not to look into them b/c i know it will just be a bfn in the end. I'm really trying to stay positive, who knows, we'll see if we suceeded this month. Af is due for me in 6 days, i hope she stays away, but if not, we'll just keep trying.
Alikat- I sent you a note, but i'm just wondering if you tested again or not. I just know this is it for you girl! Don't leave us all hangin' ! :) We need some good news! Good luck!!!!
BTW.... does anyone know when G_S will be back from London? This thread just isn't the same without her. We miss you G_S!! :)

[ALT76]

Melissa121303 - is your test today?  How did it go?

Alikat - Have you tested again or gotten a beta yet?  I'm anxious to know! :o)

I'm so pissed because I woke up thinking today was Monday (I haven't been working so I'm a little off) and I thought it was just 3 more days til my test Thursday.  But it's Sunday.... oh well :o(

[alikat1205]

not yet, i'll test again tomorrow if no af.  not getting my hopes up, i have seen these phantom lines before -- hell, i have even seen super dark lines, and it meant nothing......  i hope this is your month!

[mommyin10]

Hi, Ladies :)  It's been a few days since I've checked in.  I'm 8dpo and not feeling much of anything.  The only "symptoms" I have can be attributed to the progesterone I'm taking, so I'm not holding out too much hope this time.  AF is due Friday, so we'll see how the week goes ! :)

alikat:  I'll look forward to hearing an update from you !  I sure hope it's BFP !!! :)  Best wishes to you.

ALT76:  You're funny !  I do that ALL the time :)  Thursday will be here before you know it !  Good luck to you !

[Joyce49788]

GOOD LUCK AND SSBD covered in HONEY to you all

BFP, BFP, BFP, BFP...hopefully we see more BFP's soon

[ALT76]

BFN on my FRER this morning and I'm 6dp5dt - not too optimistic :o(
beta is Thurs

[Keyan]

ALT76:  sorry about the BFN, let us know how it goes on thursday.

Alikat1205: how are you? did you test?

melissa: how did it go yesterday?

G_S:  where are you, we miss you, it is not the same without you here... I really hope you are having a great time.

[Keyan]

hey there!! your are 2 weeks and 9 days, right?!! how are you feeling?

[candie429]

ALT - Don't get too discouraged about the BFN.  It could very well be too early.  Good luck with your beta.  Let us know how it goes.

Alikat - Any news?

Keyan - Hey there!  How are you?  Sorry, I forget what cd you are, but you're getting close to O right?  I'm cd10 today and my OPK isn't positive yet and my temps haven't gone up, so I guess we'll just keep "practicing".  :)  

Good luck to all of you wonderful ladies!!

By the way, I saw on another post that G_S is back and AF showed up for her.  :(  If you're out there G_S, we're so sorry and we miss you!

[kelly_ann]

Hi!  Please add me to the list, I am 6DPIUI as of today.   This is my second IUI, last one I made it to 10DPIUI.  

ALL:

This time around I am just bloated and nothing else.  Is this a good sign? bad sign?  I really hate the 2WW... any suggestions as to when I can maybe cheat and take a preg. test to see? I had a trigger shot on the 9th and I have always heard you don't want to take it too soon.  Suggestions?  (help) :)  

[wannababe]

Wow - lots of hopefuls this round

Alikat:  I understand why you're apprehensive after a couple of months ago.  I really hope this one is different and you get a real BFP.

GS:  So sorry about AF showing up - what a b***h.  FIngers crossed for this cycle.  I hope if didn't ruin your holiday though.

Also, Could you put me back on the 2WW - I think I'm one DPO but haven't done BBT or OPK so just guessing on cycle length,  No ewcm though so is it possible to have ovulated without it?

[G_S]

Hi everyone,

Am back from London. had a great vacation but sadly got my Af during my trip. So am out. Plan to take a break from the meds for a couple of months before I go for lap in August or Sep. Also got a severe tooth ache and have ended up started my root canal procedure today....god, my body surely is going though a lot. It deserves a good rest. I wonder if meds have anything to do with my deteriorating teeth.

Anyways hope yall are doing great. let me try updating the thread.
Hey, and I was wondering if someone wants to volunteer to maintain this thread. I really need some rest but dont want to let this thread die off. I will really appreciate someone taking the ownership for a little bit.

Hi Ladies...I am new to this thread.  I am 11 dpo and due for AF on Monday.  I want to test sooooooo badly, but I am trying to hold off and wait.  

Reading from above everyone seems so nice and supportive.  

We have been ttc since December.  Nothing.  

I have had really bad headaches and light cramping.  Just don't feel good.  I hope it is not AF coming.  

Do you ladies think it is too soon to test...I think it is, but would love too!

[vortex1]

Hi all,

I am new to this thread. I am 11dpo/12dpiui and due AF on Saturday (?? - my LP is 13 and first time last month it was 15 days ). I tested today and was depressed seeing the "Not Pregnant" result in the morning. I have AF symptoms already and feel really sick in my tummy.

So one more addition to the waiting list.

[ALT76]

no dice.  beta was 0.7

[wannababe]

gotohavefaith:  I know how you feel - I'm always the same at 11DPO with the "will I won't I test".  I always crumble and test.  So far, no BFPs.  I think you should go ahead and test.  All it can say is not pregnant and you can still have hope til AF arrives.  Your other possibility is a BFP!

vortex1:  Sorry things are not looking good for you. But hopefully it's not a definite no yet.  Not til AF pops her big ugly head in to visit!

[vortex1]

I tested today and got a BFN. Really felt bad when I saw the result. My temp dropped too in the morning.

[annie276]

Hello again!  I haven't been checking in for a while.. wanted to take a break from the baby making business and focus on other things for a couple weeks (after AF came). But it's coming around to that time of the month again and getting excited again for another opportunity to procreate!  I'm scheduled for IUI again on sunday.  Hope this one works!

Keyan and Candace - How are you?!  Have you guys ovulated yet?  It should be about that time for us!  I'm going to take a shot of ovidrel to trigger it tonight.  It makes me weary to take all these meds but after 2yrs ttc, I'll try anything.

Mommyin09:  Did you test?  Has AF managed to stay away?  I hope so!  

Vortex: stay hopeful and positive - may you get lucky on your next cycle.

Kelly_ann: I can understand wanting to test ahead of time, but I've read so many places that the meds we take for IUI will affect the results - so hold out..you've only got a couple more days to go!

Babies will come to all of us eventually, I'm sure of it!  Enjoy every day in the meantime.  SSBD to all!

[candie429]

Hi.  It's good to hear from you again!  I can understand that you need to give youself a break every once in a while.  That's exciting that you're doing your trigger tonight.  Good luck!  Hope everything goes well with your IUI on Sunday.  As for me, I got a +OPK yesterday and my temps went up today, so it looks like I am now in the 2ww.  Hopefully we both get good news this time around!  Take care.

[Keyan]

Hey ladies!  I was out for a few days, I see there are new ladies here... welcome, lets keep wishing each other lots of SSBD!

to the ladies who AF show, I am really sorry, lets look at it as a sign of another opportunity to try again and stay positive...Hugs to all!

Candie:  YES, we are practicing in hopes of making it to perfection on time! I am on CD13, 3 more days to O. Still working on the BBT. CONGRATS on your + OPK! Keep in mind on all the tricks that you practice!!

Annie276: Hi! Glad to see you back! I am a bit behind you guys! Good luck w/ meds! Hope it is the trick that you need.

Suggestion : about keeping the thread updated, maybe it would be easier to post the summary if we all keep our MOOD updated with the CD and DPO. what do you all think?

[mommyin10]

Ladies, I'm out !  AF showed this morning, but I'm okay :)  I go back to the doc on Tues for an u/s, so that I can start clomid again.  I'll stay with cd5-9 & see what happens this time around :)  Looks like I'll be celebrating my b-day with a nice glass of wine ! :-)

Annie:  Thanks for asking about me :)  Best of luck with your IUI !!!

Keyan:  Practice, practice, practice ! :)  I agree we should each keep our "mood" updated.  That's a great suggestion!  SSBD !!!

vortex & gotahavefaith:  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you too !!!

alt76:  I'm sorry about your #s ! :(

[wannababe]

Vortex1 and gottahavefaigh:  Sorry about your BFN's.  Don't lose heart - next month could be your month
Not sure what DPO I am at the mo.  Think I'm either 4 or 6.  I'm not going to let myself get carried away this month with counting the days to AF because I'm just not sure.  Have bought a load of OPKs and HPTs on EBay and going to start charting my temps next month.  

Feeling so blue lately about this whole TTC thing and so scared that it'll never happen for me.  I really want to start IVF as soon as possible but DH wants to wait until we have a bit more money.  Even with IVF I see one person after another posting here each month disappointed once more so even then there are no guarantees.  This is so unfair.  Why.

just popping in to say hi and blow everyone some SUPER SUPER STICKY BABYDUST covered in HONEY

[wannababe]

Very quiet here today...

[luvkayln]

Hey girls! Af showed last night.( 15dpiui) But i'm good! :) My appmt is in the morning, and i'll start my clomid then. So, see you all in a couple weeks, and good luck to everyone still waiting!!

[Keyan]

Hey ladies! Good week to all!

Luvkayln: sorry about AF :(. Good luck to you too on this new cycle!

Candie, Annie & Joyce: I am little behind u guys :( My **** thermometer mess up my temps, but I kind know that I'll O today or tomorrow at cd17. How do you all feel on your 2ww start?!!

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

Hi everyone!

I am officially in the 2 ww with 3 dpo here.  I tell you what....I do not feel well today.  I feel crampy, I am completly exhausted, tender (not bad though) bbs, heartburn and extreme hunger.  It way to early and I know that.  I never analyze my symptoms...ever.  I have been disappointed too many times.  But this feels different.  Is it possible to feel symptoms before implantation?  I have googled it and there are a few things that say it is possible.  Hmmm, let me know your thoughts.

[Keyan]

Ummmm that sounds like something! Welcome to the 2ww!!! It is true that our minds go "crazy" on us, but you never know! People say that when you are preggo you'll know from the beginning, other say that they never felt any different, hopefully you are in the category that is so "intune" to your body and already knows!  
Good luck!

Hi ive been ttc and had my AF on june 5th and ovulated scantly on the 18th, but have been waiting to test on the 28th or hopefully not see AF on july2nd supposedly. I would love to jointhe thread and hopefully be amongs the ones with BFP!!!!! and so everyone else. Iam offially 5DPO and hopefully conceive ones of gods miracles again. Thank you to all and goodluck. I have frequent urination, eating constantly and head spending just a little bit. Babydust to all for MArch 09 babies; beautiful babies

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

If I get my BFN...which I am counting on because I am so use to those, I will be a little surprised.  Something feels off....but I am glad!  And if I DO get my BFN I start injectables next month.  I have been med free for two months just to give myself a break and I have been going to a chiropractor to help with my ovulation....so maybe he has done something for me!  It is just crazy, because I never analyze....I have been let down so many times so about three months ago I vowed never to breathe a word of symptoms I may be having.  But this is def. different.  For one thing, I just ate an hour ago and I feel like if I don't eat something right now, I just might faint.....CRAZY.

[Keyan]

mommyof3andhopefully4:  GIRL!! you got to be positive!!! when I got my BFP, I really don't know why I decided to test, usually I don't, hate those BFN!! I didn't feel anything different just thought that I was, the test was digital and while I was waiting for the result all I was saying was: "It is going to say PREGNANT" constantly, and it did!!! I did had a m/c a few days later, unfortunaetly. Sometimes I think my mind had "powers " LOL!!! but my beta did come positive too, just with a low count. Still trying!

Raray: hey there! Welcome! yes!! lets keep on hoping for march09 babies!

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

I WILL stay positive!  I believe it helps for sure....good luck to you and sorry about your m/c.  Sounds like you are doing great now!

[annie276]

Hello all!  I'm 1dpIUI - my second one...funny, I had no cramps like I did after my first IUI.   Does this mean it worked or didn't work?  Only 13 more days and I'll know!  During my u/s they measured a 24mm follie - hope it was useful!

Keyan- Hi,  I think your mind does have powers!  You know, I really believe, the more positive we are & the more we just picture ourselves pregnant - the better chances we have of it becoming a reality!  I had a psychic once tell me - picture yourself pregnant and having a healthy baby the second you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night!  Shoot, I'll try anything!

mommyin09 - Happy birthday to you - not sure when it was, but hope you enjoyed that glass of wine and had one for each of us. ;)  Wishing you good news in the next cycle.

Candie - That's great that you got your +OPK - GOOD LUCK to you.  Hope the next 2 weeks flyyy by.

Good luck to everyone, may we all have a BFP in the near future.

[Keyan]

Hey there! Yes we got to be positive!!!!! :))) So lets say that you are  2days pregnant, huh!?!?! and I'll be 1day tomorrow!    Babynr, when she introduce herself to the thread, she said she was 2wks 4days, instead of the 4divf, and she got pregnant!!!! :) How great  is that! LOL!!!

anyhow, Good luck to all !!!

[natashalo8]

just wanted to stop by and send super sticky baby dust to everyone!!! you all were so supportive of me and i just want to wish you all the best!

i go for my first appointment monday, june 30th. i'll be 12 weeks so i'll be getting my ultrasound that day as well. i'm very excited and i want to thank all of you!

[luvkayln]

Hey girls! Sounds like everyone is doing good! :) I had my appointment yesterday, and started my clomid. I was glad to see i was cyst free, so that means all 3 eggs ovulated! :) No luck, but maybe will have some soon! I'm cd 4 today. My next appointment is next thursday, the 3rd, and i will see how many follies i have, then i will trigger that night and iui the saturday following. Good luck to everyone waiting!!

[Keyan]

Good day ladies! Hope everyone is doing ok, not much going on here lately...humm. I think I O yesterday, soo that means I am 2 weeks 1 day pregnant, hope so! Got to keep positive!!

SSBD to all

[annie276]

Keyan - Great idea!  We've got to try to stay positive - 3 days preggers for me!  That's a great story about Babynr...if it worked for her it can work for everyone!  ( sounds like a commercial!  LOL )  Well, that's good news that you O yesterday - can't wait for that BFP!

Have a great day all - & stay positive!

[mommyin10]

Hi, ladies :)  I can feel the positive vibes !  Annie276:  Thanks for the b-day wishes :)  It was Sunday & I had a wonderful b-day !  I am cd6 today & had my u/s yesterday.  Cyst-free, so started my second round of clomid, still 50mg.  I've had a few days off work, relaxing & I totally chopped my hair !  Now I have to get ready to go back to work...  At least it's already Wed. ! :)  

[candie429]

natashalo8 - That is so exciting about your appointment and ultrasound.  I hope things are going well for you and that you continue to have a happy and healthy pregnancy.  I am so happy for you!  Best of luck to you.

Keyan - I love that idea!  That is the perfect way to count down the days.  Keep that positive energy coming!  Not much happening here.  6dpo today.

[Keyan]

mommyin09: You must look beautiful, with your new hair cut! I do that around my b-day too and christmas!. YAY!! you are on the go again!! TGIW (wednesday) in 3 weeks I am off to vacations for about 3 weeks! looking foward on that! Don't forget, BD practice, practice!!!

Annie276: LOL...it can work for us too!!! you never know!

Candie429:  Ummm you probably will start to feel something soon!!! hopefuly: ssbbs, nauseas, and so on! That practice of ours got to have BFP result soon!!

"The Positve" Summary:      
Candie:    2w6d  preggo
Annie:      2w3d preggo
Keyan:     2w1d preggo
Mommyin09: ummm lets see ... 6 more days to become preggo?!?!

What do ya all think?     Any corrections?   Anybody want to join, let me know!

We got to make this fun, somehow!!! Is too stressfull!!!! LOL

[Keyan]

Candie or Mommyin09: How do I share my temp chart w/ u? Just copy the web and paste it or what? Is just that mine seem different, doesn't have the flowers or the cute things on top of the chart. Thanks!

P.S. I didn't buy a new thermomether., I am still using the "broken one" if AF comes, I will buy another one, but I beleive it has been working "back to normal", I did loose 4 days :(....and still doesn't say that I O yet, But I am quite sure I already did.

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

Ok, you can add me to the list....I am 5-6 dpo...I am going to say 5 because I got my positive OPK last thursday and FF when I did the OPK detector said I o'd on Friday.  So that woudl be 5 dpo.  My gut is telling me I did on Thursday though....I don't know why.  I am still feeling very tired...I have since Monday.....the extreme hunger is gone.  I know that 3-4 dpo is WAYYYYYYY to early to feel anything, but I'm tellin ya something felt different.  I have also had pains in my ovaries and today they are REALLY strong.  I never analyze my symptoms, but I started to the other day when I felt "different".  

I went to my RE today to learn how to do injectables.  OH MY GOD.  I hope I get pregnant this month.  I was thinking insurance would still cover the bloodwork and U/S like it has in the past, but nope.  I have to pay for all that now because once I go on injectables my status goes from "painful menses" to "infertility"...no getting around it.  So thank the good Lord the meds are covered because we have a different Rx plan.  So it is going to be (all together) about $1450 per cycle for the labs, u/s, meds and IUI.  And not only that, I may have to drive 2 hours to get a lot of that done.  Some of it can be done an hour away and hopefully the bloodwork can be done 15 minutes away.  I know I am preaching to the choir, you all know how expensive it is.....It's crazy.  So I am REALLY hoping I am preggers this month.

SSBD to everyone...

Heather

[Keyan]

OMG!!! that is alot of money..that is another reason why hubby and I aren't sure to  try again fertility treatments...hopefully you have already inside you, your 4th baby!!!

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

I know.....DH deserves a biological child....he is such a great step daddy.....this will just complete our already happy family!  Thanks for the good wishes....

[mommyin10]

mommyof3andhopefully4:  That is expensive !  I haven't gotten to the point where I have been too surprised by a price, but I believe I'm still early on.  I do hope you get pregnant this cycle & don't have to go to that next step, but on the other hand, it's SO worth it !!! :)  Best wishes !

Keyan:  I love that positivity !  If I O on cd18 like I did last time, that would be July 7, so I'll be in the "practice" mode for a while :)  OMG !  Yesterday when I got my hair cut, I loved it.  I thought it looked too cute... then this morning, I just couldn't get it done right for work !  I think I need a little practice in that area, too.  I love it, though.  It's much shorter & lighter :)  How awesome for you to go on vacation for 3 weeks !  I can't even imagine !  We'll miss you around here, but I'm sure you will be so relaxed :)  As far as your chart, I'll copy & paste from the note you sent me earlier & get back to you.

[Keyan]

yeah! got your notes and messages... lets see if we get an instant message type of thing around here..LOL.... I'll be off work for 3 weeks, but we are actually traveling for 1week vacation...back to Orlando. Don't get toooo excited, you won't get ride of me that easy...LOL...., since I won't have anything else to do, I'll be around here more often. Soooo if you O cd18, you have 12 more days of practice to become preggo. I'll make the correction.

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

Thank you so much!  I know, it is ludacrious.  I am praying it doesn't come to that.

[Joyce49788]

just popping in to blow some babydust onto you all....****POUF****  super sticky with honey....

hugs and luv

[annie276]

Hello all!  Just checking in to see how everyone on the 'positive' list is feeling!  Does anyone have unusual symptoms?  My bbs have been KILLING me for the past 4-5 days.  They haven't hurt this bad in a long time. And the occassional splitting headache.  

Hope everyone is doing well and staying positive!

SSBD for everyone!  Hope someone posts good news soon!

[candie429]

Keyan - I love your "positive" list.  Very cool.  Unfortunately, as you know, AF showed up for me, so I'm starting over again.  That's awesome that you get to go on vacation for 3 weeks.  Have fun!  We're going to the beach in exactly 31 days and we can't wait!  I hope you get good news before you leave.

mommyof3andhopefully4 - I am so sorry for the added stress of how much this all costs.  We haven't done anything like that yet, but if we do, we'll definitely be paying out of pocket for it too.  I just don't understand why insurance companies cover all sorts of crazy things, but not infertility.  Hello, it's a valid medical condition!  Hopefully you get your BFP this time around!

annie276 - Sounds like you have some good symptoms there.  I really hope this is your month!  We definitely need some good news around here!  :)

Good luck to everyone!
