Where's my cycle buddies? :)
Hey girls!!! I hope you got my post on our other thread that i'm starting a new one for us! The other one was getting a little too long, plus now we're all in our 2ww! Yay!!!!
mommyin09 - I love the pictures! Everything looks so beautiful. Other than the power outages (yikes!), I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful long weekend. Hope your ultrasound goes well today.
babynr - Congratulations on those numbers! How wonderful! I'm from a small town, so I know all about gossip, but as my dad always reminds me: "Opinions are like a$$holes, everbody has one!" :) Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy.
journey - Wow, great follies! Like the others said, the one that is 16 could very well grow a lot before your IUI and I'm sure the trigger shot will help too. Good luck! (BTW, to send a note to someone, if you hold your mouse over someone's name, a box will pop up where you can choose to send them a note or a message. Also, if you click on their name and go to their profile, you can do it from there too.)
Have a good night everyone!

Geez... that's it! I'm checking in more then once a day from now on! My brain can't take all this news in! :) I feel like i've been gone for days, there's so much catching up to do!
Stacey & vortex- So sorry about af! I know it *****, but i'm glad you are both very optimistic for next cycle! Stacey- Yeah, i know. I think if it doesn't work this time, we'll just let nature take it's course. I really feel it would be unfair to my next baby, since i'm still grieving my daughter. I really feel like if she was here physically with me, at 6 months old, i wouldn't even consider trying for a baby. I feel i need to spend time with kayln, maybe that's why i haven't gotten pregnant yet. I feel it's almost a blessing i haven't gotten pregnant yet, God knows i'm not ready, and he's preventing me from a lot of heartache! Don't get me wrong, i do want more children. But i really feel i need time for kayln, and the time will come when God is ready to bless us again. So, if it doesn't happen this time, no more drugs, no more iui's, no darn dye test, :) , just au naturalle! I'll still buy the opk's, but it will be stress free b/c it'll just happen when it's supposed to, ya know? I really hope this iui is what you need! I really hope this is it for you!! :)
Journey- Hi and welcome! Don't feel as if i were ignoring you, so much happens in a day i feel like i miss out on so much! Congrats on your +opk! Don't worry about your follies! 26 & 16 are great numbers! That 16 mm follie still has time to grow, and it will, trust me! This last time i had 3 follies. 19, 18 & 12. That was 2 days before my iui, and the 12 mm that i thought was going to turn into a cyst actually released when i ovulated, they all did. So, that just goes to show how much those things can grow!! Good luck with your iui tomorrow! Be sure to take it easy afterwords, let those babies swim! Also, my RE suggests to bd the night of iui and the next day to make sure everything is covered! So, please take the advice and good luck sweetie!!! :)
dnikki- Oh sweetie, i'm so sorry all this is happening! I'm so sorry! I hope you are coping the best way you know how to. We are always here for you, anytime you need to talk or vent or whatever! I'm glad to hear you are working out! That's so good for your fertility, just don't over do it. You don't want to stress your body out at all, but walking on the treadmill is great and 1.5 miles is a great start! :) I don't excercise, i know i should. You know what my RE told me yesterday! He was so suprised i didn't get pregnant this cycle, and then whenever i got done changing and came out of the room, he said, what's your weight like. And i just said " You're gonna be po'd!" This man wants me to gain weight constantly. When i got pregnant with kayln, i weighed 120 lbs. I felt healthy, ate right, etc. Well, when he weighed me yesterday, i weighed 119 lbs. So, he put me on the ben & jerry's diet! I'm supposed to eat 1/2 to a full pint PER DAY until my iui! Can you believe that! Good luck with your injections! My RE said that had a woman come in with a litter in her belly, and that was from the injections! I hope you don't get a litter, but i hope you at least get one out of the deal! ;)
mommyin09- I'm so excited about my promotion! Thanks for the congrats! I sent you a message, but here's an extra good luck at your appointment! I hope all is well, and you can start your 2nd round of clomid today! It's crazy, but i just started my clomid yesterday, and i'm already having O pain in my ovaries. That just better mean my ovaries are kickin' into overdrive! I would love to have 3 eggs again!! :) I hope you chose to up to 100 mg, and you'll have more then 1 as well!!
arlotheslug- I saw in your post to mommyin09, you said you didn't want to bring the group down b/c you've been sad lately. Honey, Please vent to us! :) You'll feel so much better, and i know this is a great support system, we're all here for you! I know you're upset about the news you got, but hey, if it doesn't work this time, you have already considered ivf, and adoption as your back up! You'll get your baby! Somehow, someway, it'll happen for you sweetie!
candie- Good luck with your house hunting! How exciting! Yeah, i'm sure what on his brain about doing another dye test. We'll see how i feel after this cycle if i don't get pregnant. I'm thinking i'll just go natural, but we'll see. If you read my post to stacey, you'll understand! :) Good luck to you, already in the 2ww! I'm jealous! :) Did you and dh ever do a SA on him? I couldn't remember if you did or not. Good luck!!
babynr- Congrats on your beta numbers! That's so exciting, and we're all so happy for you! :)
leighanne- so sorry you've been feeling so sick, i'm glad i never got that sick with either of mine. But, it's a good sign, and i'm glad you're feeling good about this pregnancy! Good luck on your u/s in a couple weeks! Can't wait to hear how everything goes!!
If i missed anyone, i'm sorry! :( And sooo sorry i just took up the whole page with my post! :)

Journey: Two follies is great news ! The 26 is huge ! :) I'm sure the other ladies are right, that the 16 still has time to catch up :) Very exciting news !!! So, you got your +opk & will soon be in the tww :) Nothing but great news !
dnikki: Great work on the treadmill :) dh & I played frisbee on Sunday & I guess our aim may have been a "little" off, but we got quite the workout ! :) We're talking about jogging in the sand on the beach. That's a great workout ! When I was in high school, we actually had soccer practice on the beach. Really good conditioning :) I, too, love the outdoors. I've never been hunting, but have gone shooting, which is surprisingly fun. Is FROLF (Frisbee golf) all over the country? I wasn't sure, but we have a course close to home & are planning to start playing that as well. If you aren't aware, it's like a golf course, but you throw the frisbee in/close to the targets. Anyway, have a great day !
