[leah2365]

You know it's hard enough to keep up with your own cycle and yet you manage to keep up with all of ours too, your amazing!

[GMB08]

bam, thanks for taking care of us!!! sorry for af latrice......heres too the next month!!!

[Dani711]

Bam, I can't find the post you told me to read...?

[bam1014]

It took a few minutes to track everybody's down, but I just write it all out on a sheet of paper.  It's getting it in order that's the hard part! LOL  At the rate I'm going I might just have to start a spreadsheet to keep all you ladies straight :0

I can't believe how many buddies we've accumulated over the last few days.  It's amazing.  Like Dani said, more support for everybody.  At the rate we are going, everybody should have at least one person on the same cycle as them.

More people - MORE BFP's !!  mapes and AP are getting lonely :(

Picked up the pre-seed over my lunch hour.  It was at an "adult" type shop.  I have personalized license plates, so I parked a ways away in case any co-workers should drive by:)  Boy did I blush in that store.  I don't consider myself a prude, but really there were condoms dangling off the walls - LOL

[bam1014]

Dani - see on the post above where my name is highlighted in blue?  Click on that and you'll get to my Med Help page.  It the Journal Entry called "My Dear Sister".

[Dani711]

Bam-you had to get the pre-seed at a sex shop!  How totally weird yet funny.  The place here that sells it is in a drug store, and when I went to CO. to look for it, it was in an acupuncture shop.
Bam- you once asked if I tried acrpuncture...I did after a car accident, but my back was so bad, the pins started spining and bending..it freaked me out (the dr. thought it was weird too though)  

[GMB08]

bam..u crack me up...lol...condoms on the walls.....thanks for the laugh!!! let us know how it works!

[Tiger63]

Bam you are so good to remember anyone!

Dani: Dr encourage me not to test until day of missed period! It's killing me. I may sqeeze in a test anyway.

Latrice: sorry AF came this month, hopefully next month is your month.

[steph9803]

I was thinking the same thing about how many people we have in this group now! It is a wonderful thing to have so much support and to be able to support others...
Bam- that's funny about the condoms...I think I'd put on a disguise...lol
Leah- that post on the CB #3 thread was really nice. I'm glad you're having a better day!

How is everyone doing? I'm trying to keep myself from testing until in the morning. I just don't know why I have not symptoms of AF yet?

[bam1014]

Leah - I agree w/Steph that was a really sweet post.  As long as you are here in this forum, you are never alone!!

[leah2365]

thanks steph... how long do your cycles normally last? Your already at cd33 but how many days past O?  My doc says anything past 17dpo you can test....especially after this last cycle I really hate to POAS.  You should have mapes and ap sprinkle babydust your way...  I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter my friends and I had the tradition that the one who finds out they are prego starts a train and whoever she tells is next would end up prego.  It really worked I swear.  My friend Anna started, she said I was next, then I told my friends Anita and Jessica they were going to both get prego, and I swear it was like 2 weeks later they found out they were too.  So, Mapes and ArmyP should tell all of us that we will be next and maybe it will work.  I have tried the scientific stuff and it hasn't worked yet, so I am down with a little prego magic and superstition!  It's not called babydust for nothing

[Dani711]

Welcome Leah!!
tiger-when I had to go for my checkup to see when i can start TTC again, the dr. said that alot of the waiting they tell us is for emotional reasons...I know that for me it is worse just to wait for AF, then getting a BFN, I hate getting that BFN, but for me it is just part of it all. I guess it is different for everyone.  Good luck whatever it is you do!
for me though it is more stress waiting...but i am really impatient and really bored LOL!
Bam-do your license plates say "BAM"???

[bam1014]

Dani - ha!  no, not bam.  They say 4MISCHF.  We had a kitty (at 6 mos) pass away about 5 years ago.  Her name was Mischief., so ever since then I've had the plates :)

Leah - if you're down to supersition and magic, have you ever looked into Fung Shui?  I'm a big fan.  I'm going to update my house to be pure baby juju in Dec.

[mapes10]

Good afternoon everyone.  I have just been swamped at work today, so I am finally trying to catch up.  I am so excited to see all the cycle buddies.  Leah- I will happily sprinkle baby dust and morning sickness to EVERYONE!!!  I hope it catches on and we start turning out BFPs soon.  Let's see: it looks like Steph will be the first one.  Then maybe gmb and Dani.  And bringing in the next session will be nunu, bam, and leah.  And Cacymichelle will be sneaking in soon.  Good luck to everyone waiting for AF.  Latrice, maybe next month!!!  Let's hope it works.

[leah2365]

Bam,
Doesn't Fung Shui have something to do with equals and complimentary objects, or two halves....or am I totally off.  I remember hearing it somewhere, I think it was on a movie.

Mapes, Thanks let's see if it works

[CacyMichelle]

Thanks Mapes, I'm really hoping I get the only Christmas present that I want!! I feel sooo bloated today, I'm so ready for AF to leave!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Thanks Bam.

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL YOU AND LOTS OF BABY DUST!!!!!!!

[bam1014]

Fung Shui, in it's simplest form is about arranging your home and stuff in such a way to be in flow with nature.  It also has a lot to do with colors.  You may have noticed in other threads we were laughing about how I had red paper under my mattress to spice things up.  I also have yellow paper (for health) in my living room by all my family photos. and I have purple paper in DH's sock drawer for prosperity.  It all depends on what rooms of your home fall in what guas (i.e. our bedroom is in the properity gua and living room is in health).  There is a great book called Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life that I read.  DH thought it was hystarical while I was doing this, including putting red tape on our outgoing pipes.  Anyway, I digress.  If you're interested it is worth looking into :)

CacyMichelle - Let's hope Santa brings us all what we want for XMAS (hmm, but wouldn't that make mrs. claus jealous?)

[peterjl]

Has anyone ever taken tamoxifen and clomid together to help induce ovulation?  My doctor is discussing trying these meds together.  I have PCOS, so ovulating isn't something I do very much.

[Dani711]

peterjl---hopefully someone here can answer your question...but I am clueless there, sorry!
Mapes-hey there, my friend said when she got that dot thing in her eyes it was aroung 22 week and they think it was from preclympsia (sp???)  so it wouldnt be the same as yours.  how are you feeling though?  are the spots gone?
Cacymichelle-I am so with you on the christmas present thing!  We all have time to make it happen!

[Latrice414]

Peterj- i dont no much about the tamoxifen but i do no that clomid helps with ovulation, if taking earlier in the cylce it will give you a couple of eggs but if taking later in cycle(like cd5) it gives you a better quality of an egg. So its quantity vs quality.  You can also ask the women on the fertility side, some of them have a lot of experience with fertiltiy drugs.  Good luck on your ttc and much SSBD to you.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone, im CD3 ughhh, wish i was getting ready to ovulate.  I must say im starting to feel a little depressed being this will be the 4 cycle of ttc and nothing yet, sighssss.  I have a second interview 2mrw mourning so if i get this job i will be doing 3 twelve hour shifts a week, not sure how my body may react to that if i get preggo.
I cant beleve the year is almost over and in June i will be 33 and a year since the m/c :(.  I guess that statement that some older women tell me is sorta true, it takes almost a year to get preggo again after having a m/c.(Why couldnt i be the lucky one to get preggo right away)

I hope everyone had a great day and will have a great day 2mrw.  Im sortve a night person as you can see, i dont go to bed until like 2am most nights.

SSBD to everyone and i hope your pregnancies are going well mapes and armyprincess

[steph9803]

Good morning (afternoon) everybody! I'm on CD 34 today. Last night I had these horrible cramps come out of nowhere and I assumed they were from AF. Well no AF this morning and no more cramps? I woke up and sprinkled some of that baby dust you all have been sending on my cheerios...lol Still got a BFN
Leah- I'll be praying that your test goes well today.
