Let's keep our thread rollin' cycle buddes! :) #2

[MamaTina89]

Ok ladies....I hope you all find this new thresd!! The other one was getting WWWWAAAAYYYY long!!!

[leighanne143]

hi ladies, FYI i posted a new thread, it is the same heading except it says # 3 after lets keep in rollin cycle buddies.  everyone use that one if you would like:)

[leighanne143]

mommyin09- OMG that would be great if your got pregnant on a natural cycle.  I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you.

I will try to post new belly bump pictures tonight if i can.

[Arlotheslug]

I agree!  I would do it, if I could figure out how!

BTW - I tried the Robitussin thing (you can also take musinex - just look for the active ingredient) a while back.  Several women I know swear it is how they got pregnant.  The theory is that the Guifenesin thins the muscus in order to allow the swimmers an easier trip.  Hey, it is worth a shot and at least you won't be congested!

Unlaced - here is karma for ovulation!

Leighanne:  congratulations on the telling! Yeah - no suppositories!

Candie - Hello!  Thank you! I am sorry about AF.  

I have to get back to work - a bit overwhelmed by the drugs - but excited too!  

[unlaced]

yes!!!  and sorry, he came back friday.  he leaves out again sept 12 for 7 months...but it's alright.  i just want to ovulate before then, lol.

[mommyin10]

What do you think, should we start a new thread? It's taking a while to load...

[mommyin10]

Leighanne:  That's probably a relief to know that your dad now knows :)  I'm sure it was hard to keep such a wonderful secret!  Yahoo, no more prog. supps !!!

Leighanne & Candie:  I will call the RE's office today to make an appt., but I'm okay that it will take a while 'cause I'm not quite mentally ready for it.  I'm sure I will be by the time I go, but right now we're just gonna try a few natural cycles :)

Arlotheslug:  How was your class?  Gosh, Sept is just around the corner !  How exciting for you :)

unlaced:  Sorry ! :(  When will dh be back in town?

luvkayln:  Welcome back to the tww !!! :-)

vortex:  How are you?  I'm sure it's gonna be tough to keep this secret, huh!? :)  I'm gonna take your advice & drink a glass of milk every day.  What have you heard about Robitussin with guaifenesin?  I was thinking about trying that, too.  There's no end to what we'll try, huh!?

Have a great day, ladies !!!

[candie429]

Good morning ladies!  AF showed for me too, so back to the drawing board... I'm cd4 today.  But, I started FertilAid so I'm going to stay positive and hope that this will make the difference!

vortex - OMG!!!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so sorry I missed your news, I wasn't able to check in over the weekend.  Those numbers sound great!  I am so so very very happy for you and your DH.  I'm sure it's normal to be a little anxious since you've been through so much to get here, but have faith that it will be OK and enjoy every minute!  

mommyin09 - Hopefully the RE will be able to get you in sooner than you think.  In the meantime, it might be good to give your body a break and who knows, maybe something wonderful will happen!  :)

luvkayln - Wow, in the 2ww again.  All the best to you!

Arlotheslug - That is so exciting!  Good luck with your class today and with the injections tomorrow.  It's probably so surreal to be starting the process already.  It seems like you were just talking about seeing the doctor and here you are talking about eggs and transfers. Yay!

Leighanne - I'm so glad to hear that your dad is so happy.  My dad is the same way, always making jokes about everything!  That's good though, life's too short to take things to seriously.  I can't wait to see your new pics!  How nice that you can stop the progesterone.  Hope you're feeling better now.

[unlaced]

well girls, take me OUT of the 2WW-as i figured, i haven't o'd-i'm cd17.  stupid breastfeeding.

[leighanne143]

luvkayln, welcome back.  yeah you are in the 2ww, which i know is not fun but fun at the same time.  i hope you had a relaxing time away.  how have you been?

arlotheslug- i am doing well.  i did not feel too good today but i have been having way more good days that bad days lately.  so you start injections soon?  oh how i hate needles.  im telling you are being at my RE's office with this pregnancy, i felt like a human pin cushion, bloodwork every 2 days, i swore they were vampires.


well ladies mom told my dad.  it went so well, although he made a joke about shipping the baby down the river on a windy day, but i knew he would come up with something.  he is actually really excited.  mom told him by saying something with the quote hey grandpa in it.  then she said did you not notice that she gained a huge belly and has not had a martini in months and his reply was "no, leigh is a little chubby so i did not notice any difference."  men are so dumb because my stomach is huge.  i will post some new belly pics soon and you ladies will be like OMG, it has grown so much.

well i am off to take my last prog supps, YEAH, i have made it to thr stoppign mark and i am so excited that i will not have to waste time in the AM anymore to lie flat for 20 mins for the prog.  so let me go use the last one and have a lil celebration.

[Arlotheslug]

Hey everyone!

Hi luvkayln - welcome back perfect timing!  I think you are close with Unlaced . . .  

Vortex - awesome on the numbers.  I am so happy for you!  Thank you for all the advice on the TWW.  I am toying with what to do after the transfer . . . It must be soo exciting to see your DH so happy!  

Mommyin09:  I am sorry she showed.  I can understand the frustration with another dr . . . maybe some time away from the schedule would be good . . . i.e. time off.  

Unlaced:  Thanks!  It is good to be normal on something ;-) I am no good on checking charts.  I tend to stay away from them b/c I tend to obsess in a bad way . . . hopefully you are in the tww.  

Leighanne - just a quick hello!  How are you doing?  

Off to learn the injections in the am - early appt, so we don't miss much work.  I will touch base soon.  This seems a bit unreal to me.  Shots start on Tues, then hopefully will get eggs the week of Sept 7th, then transfer within the next five days!  WOW!  

Happy Sunday night!

[luvkayln]

Hi girls, just checking in!
Vortex- Yay! Congrats sweetie!!!! I'm so glad your numbers doubled, that's great!!! :)
I'm 3dpo today, what a long 2ww this will be!! *sigh*

[unlaced]

Well, now I'm not sure what's going on.  I thought I had O'd, but then my temp went down too low this morning...so...idk.  I think the breastfeeding and coming off bcp's are throwing me off.  Now my chart makes no sense.  This stinks.  *stomping my pissy feet*

[leighanne143]

mommyin09- maybe you will be lucky and the RE will have had a cancellation and you can get right in.  i think i only waited 2 or 3 weeks to see the RE.  i had 2 at the same office to choose from so i chose the one with the closest appt.  

[vortex1]

I went in for my 2nd beta in the morning and my RE called me and said that the numbers have doubled to 320 and it is good. So I am going in for an u/s soon to get things checked.

mommyin:
Sorry about the AF. I was hoping for you to join me this cycle. I am really puzzled by seeing your temps. It never dropped at all and AF is here?!.  Working on a weekday is something I hate, but if you have to, then you have to. Take care and all the best for the next cycle. Yeah getting an RE appointment takes quite sometime, which reminds that we are not alone.

------------------------------
Leighanne:  BFP - 12 weeks and 5 days

[mommyin10]

P.S.  Congrats on being 1DPO !  Perfect timing, huh?!  Good luck to you :-)

[mommyin10]

vortex:  I'll check out your recipe, as I'm out this cycle ! :(  AF showed today & I'm sitting here drinking a nice, big cup of coffee, feeling sorry for myself !  I'll get over it & move on, but it sure does s u c k when she makes her appearance, especially 'cause my temps spiked up today... cruel joke.  Anyway, thanks for all your advice.  I will definitely take it all into consideration.  And even though I didn't get my BFP, I am still extremely Happy for you & dh! :-)

So, my Ob/Gyn does only 3 clomid cycles, which this was my third & now I'll be calling the fertility doctor for a consultation.  I'm told I should have called right away 'cause his appts. are a month out.  I was too busy & too hopeful, so I didn't call yet.  Oh, well!  DH says he'd like to just do natural cycles anyway, so looks like we'll have a few of those while waiting for an appt.  I'm really not excited about going to someone new & starting all over anyway, so maybe I need a month or so before I'm ready for that...

Thanks for all your support, ladies !  Now, I'm off to the courthouse (yes, on a Sunday!) to finish some work...  

[leighanne143]

good morning ladies, just checking in to say hello:)

[vortex1]

To those who plans to try the tea recipe, please note that the video portion size is for 2 people. If you are making it for yourself, cut everything to half the amount. Forgot to mention it in my previous post.

Thanks unlaced.

[unlaced]

Yay Vortex!!!!  *doing a happy dance*  That's great!  I'll be praying for a good beta.

Mommyin09-DH leaves Sept 12th.  I'm 1 DPO now and in the 2WW!!!  Lol, I don't think I'll be able to restrain myself and I'm going to do the first test a week from now.  It's great that you have a flexible job.  You never know when you're going to get that 2nd line.  :)

Joyce-Thank heavens you got yourself taken care of.  It's too bad you missed your O, though.

Leighanne-Thanks for the advice-It's great I have cycle buddies...I haven't heard from Michelle but Joyce is out...I'm lined up with Hope4_2 and MPatterson, though, so we'll be stalking each other, lol.

Candie-Ha, DH thought he was done with the last one, but I layed on the guilt for him not giving me a girl, lol.  So, this is our last shot as I would not be happy with FOUR.  :)  I think he'll be happy, though (especially if it's another boy!).

Arlo-Yay for normal results!  :)  And I bet you can't wait for those shots.

[vortex1]

Thank you for all your wishes. DH and myself are very happy about all this. I have never seen him this happy in life before. But on the other hand I am nerves about the other hurdles we have to cross in the journey. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying everyday. I will stop there.

Following are the things I did differently this month. I am not sure whether it helped are not, but thought it might be worth putting here. I added a cup (exactly 8oz) of milk a day through out my tww. I dont like milk at all. But I did because, you know it has calcium, etc etc and good for health. I did that since I am not allergic to dairy. Since I hate milk and not like the taste, I checked with my RE and tried the Chai tea they showed at http://video.about.com/indianfood/Indian-Chai.htm. (If you are planning to try this, note that I did not like the taste of fennel seeds and I left that out and used the black tea leaves and not the processed ones).

DH and I like to invite people and entertain them at home. So I end up cook in front of the range, Oven all the time. So this time during tww I only used the ones at the back, because I always felt that my tummy gets too hot during the cooking process. I asked DH to get stuff in and out of Oven and also check on the readiness.

Mommyin:
Remember when heather replied in the thread on Green tea about folic acid absorbtion and tea leaves, I was worried.

Mamatina:
Welcome back. All the best for your cycles to regularize.

Yeah ladies as leighanne said we should get more BFPs here.
