Let's keep going cycle buddies! :)
Hey ladies, time for a new thread!! :)
I haven't seen either movie. I'm sorry you were feeling so emotional :( I am also someone who NEVER cries & last night I totally lost it ! I just cried to dh. A lot of "woe is me" ! He was pretty surprised, too. :) I feel much better now. I wonder if it's the clomid, progesterone, hormones ? Anyway, feel better & know that we're all here for you :)
"fertile environment" ~ I guess it does not pay in the fertility department to be an obsessive compulsive clean freak!! Had I'd known I would have lived in filth, LOL
I am begining to wonder if my husbands landscaping career contributes to his low volume..he works with all those pesticides and he has been doing it since he was a little boy with his father, probably about a good 20 years or more.
"Keeping TTC from family/freinds" ~ I wish I did that! Month after month people just don't know what to say to me. I tell them, " I'll let you know when I'm pregnant". It's been 20 months for us! I think it took us well over a year to even consider that we may have a problem. Denial, I guess...it's still a hard thing to accept.
"No sugar diet" ~ My accupuncturist has me on a "preconception diet" It *****!
`No wheat
`No sweet (no refined sugars, only natural like fruit, honey, agave)
`No alcohol
`No caffine
`No cold
`Very little dairy
basically it's a super healthy yogi diet and it's wearing thin I me, I can't wait to be pregnant so I can eat pizza and ice cream!
babynr ~ You'll hear the heartbeat soon! Congrats...you must be super excited. You give me hope :-)

Apart from the toxins around us, one of the reason that it is harder to have babies these days is, that both women and men wait until 30 putting their studies and work before to have a baby. Also now-a-days both work and hence the other factor is stress. Seriously, those days ladies only have to handle problems at home. But today we get stressed both at work and home.
The other reason is the quickly spreading PCOS among people. Early last year, I was watching a movie "The Children of Men" (a good story line, but violent movie, did any one have seen this). While seeing the movie, I thought "What a weird story line and thought", but I admired the screenplay. But after struggling to ttc, I am scared that it might come true and the world is moving towards it. Scary.
For those, who have not watched it, the story happens in 2027, where humans dont have births and miraculously a woman got pregnant and the story goes about the after effect of it.
Talking about movies, I rented Juno to watch. DH was asking me, "Are you sure, you want to watch this movie" (Lately I start crying if I see any birth seens or new born babies). I said ofcourse and we were watching it. Half way, I started crying and DH switched of the movie and returned it to the store. Thatz when I realized how broke I am after being in the ttc journey. Because I am a person who never crys over movies.
leighanne:
I will add your u/s information into the tracker.
joyce:
I would recommend you to get it checked as soon as possible. If it is implantation then good, you will know the status. If it is AF, then it will help you not waste an other cycle.
babynr: so sorry to hear about the reason for the bleeding. Be cheerful and dont stress yourself. Things will be fine in your next u/s.

Gosh, where do I begin!? It's so hard to catch up after missing a day. Well, I'm 6dpo & feeling crampy. I looked at my O tracker for last cycle & noticed I had cramps 5dpo, so I guess that's normal. I'm also exhausted, due to my diet, I'm sure ! Does progesterone make any of you feel nauseous, tired, have a bad taste in your mouth? A taste like you're gonna get sick? Ugh !
Candie: I'm hypoglycemic, so I don't eat a lot of sugar anyway, but yes, the first two weeks on South Beach are really difficult 'cause you cut out all natural sugars, as well. No fruit, juices, etc. It makes you really sleepy! I cut out sodas back in Feb. & like you said, I feel so much better without them. I can't stay away from the coffee, though. As soon as AF comes, I'm right back to my cup a day :)
babynr: Sounds like great news ! I'm SO sorry if the bleeding was a twin :(, but I'm so happy for you that everything else is looking good. I'm sure the next week will be difficult waiting, but as you've told us, stay positive !!! :) We'll all be pulling for you ! That's great that you ballroom dance ! As soon as I (the youngest) graduated high school, my mom took up ballroom dancing & still does it. In the past, she competed in competitions & just loved everything about it :) Take care !
dnikki: Your post about keeping ttc from your family is SO similar to mine ! My in-laws are always over or we're doing "something" with them & I seem to always be tired ! At certain points, they wonder why I'm not drinking wine... they probably think I'm just boring! I wish I could tell sometimes, but like you said, they'd be more in our business & it would probably stress me out ! :) Thanks for posting the info from your RE's office. It really is interesting. I still believe it WILL happen ! The time just has to be right :)
Arlotheslug: Before & after stopping bcp's, I had regular periods as well. That's why I just assumed I was O'ing. I'm glad we all took the time to find out what more we can do to become pregnant. It does happen easily for some, but we'll just know how hard we tried to have our little loves :)
joyce: How are you doing? Do you think it's AF? I know my cycles changed quite a bit when I started O'ing in Sept. & I really thought I was pregnant 'cause it was so different, but it was just my body getting regulated, I guess. That could be what's happening to you since this is just your second cycle since removing your... I can't remember what you called it! Sorry :) Anyway, either that or your'e preggers ! Keep us updated & take care !
leighanne: How exciting! Your u/s is only a week away :) Looking forward to hearing your news !
Stacey: That's great that you were able to change jobs & take care of yourself in your quest to become preggers ! I admire that :)
luvkayln: Where are you??? I miss you !!! Hope all is well :)

dnikki: thank you for the post. I have also wondered why I know so many women who have had problems - I have 3 good friends who have had issues. Seems crazy. I agree that part of it is the environment, I also think women are waiting longer and are older, and a lot of us have been on some form of BC for a good length of time.
Babynr: I am sending so much karma too you! It is really good news on your little bean!
MichelleinHawaii: jump in! We all do ;-)
Have a good night ladies.
