Just started my new cycle, and really wishing AF would go away, so heavy this cycle! Praying that 2011 is the year for all of us!

I am for sure here.  Just finished my first round of Clomid and been making sure we BD about every 36 hours.  I was laughing yesterday morning when dh asked me before he got out of bed "what's our schedule?"  Bless his heart... I think sometimes we forget how hard it is in the men too.  I started thinking after he said that how it must be so frustrating for the men.  They are completely out of control.... they can't do anything to help besides deposit sperm when we say.  Let's look at the bright side ladies... at least we have something pro-active to do.... vitamins, temping, drugs, opk's... then hpt's (starting from 6 dpo :-) LOL).  These poor guys have to just sit back and do nothing but wait for our comments and directions.  Anyway... just thought I would put a little something out there for our men, to remind us that we are not the only ones going through all the stress... that is some ways it would be worse to not be able to do anything.  Gotta love them!!!


Okay.... enough about these good guys!  I will try to be better about posting updates and things I'm doing in these message boards so that our new friends have a greater benefit to everything we have learned.

MissRo- welcome to the group and please let us know how your second round of clomid goes.  I had the weirdest experience on clomid because the doctor kept warning me that it would make me really moody. It seemed to have the opposite effect... I felt perfectly fine and one might even say... better and happier.

Sassysissy-  I am so very sorry to hear about your MC.  Sherri is right... many women conceive again right after a MC... I hope that happens for you!  

Juliaschill- welcome to our group as well.  I don't think I have seen your here before.  SSBD!  Please let us know what you are doing and how it is all going.

Futermama2010-  Super Sticky Baby Dust to you!!!  Hoping and praying that you get a BFP!!

Melanie - You're not out yet!!  I still have high hopes for you this cycle!!

Risa - AF is usually heavier when we have good ovulation... so let's look on the positive side of that.  Yes, she can go away now so you can move on to the TWW!!


Best of Luck to all of us in 2011!!!  Oh.... one more thing I wanted to tell all of you.  This morning as I'm laying in bed with my knees up to my ears for the alloted 1/2 hour... dh asked me, "so when can we test?"  I told him that the earliest an hpt might show a faint line would be in 10 days from when I ovulate.  I explained again how egg meets sperm in the fallopian tube, then takes 4 days to get to uterus where it will have to hatch, then begins implanting and it would take at least 2 days from when it is implanting to show enough hcg in urine.  Welll..... why am I rambling all of this to you??  Because he just immediately said... "that's what's happening".  He has never made comments like that before and has never asked things like when can we test.  So I said, what do you mean.... do you mean?  He said again "that's what's happening" and I said..... why.... do you think that this is the month that I will get pregnant and he immediately said "YES".... I said.... boy or girl.... he siad.... "I don't know".... I said, but you think it will happen.... he just said "YES".  God, I hope he's right.  It's sending chills up my arms as I'm typing this, simply because he hasn't been that interested, nor has he ever said anything like the whole time we have been trying!  Hmmmmmmm.

Thanks ladies. I read women can have children until menapause and do if they have not used dc. I am going to begin monitoring my temperature.

I too am still here.15 dpo still nothing but iam not giving up. I lost one in Oct and I know I will be blessed again

I'm here too! I just finished my 2nd round of Clomid and I am working on lowering my FSH with yoga, acupunture and wheatgrass. I was told last month that I probably couldn't get pregnant on my own with my FSH of 15 but I was pregnant earlier this year so I'm not ready to give up yet!

You are right....it is not easy for our partners too....DH takes such an active interest this cycle that it melts my heart.  I haven't been allowed to do much during the 2ww and its hilarious that he carried my handbag at times.  I always thought I would never be one of those women who lets a man carry my handbag and 10 years later, here I am! LOL!  I guess he must have listened to my mum's dos and don'ts and one of the don'ts is not to carry anything heavy! Also made me realise how much junk we carry around as bags get bigger! LOL!  coming home finding him cooking a meal was a delight!

Your DH sounds so sweet .....and intuitive!  so fingers crossed.  Sometimes men can feel the real energy around as they are not like us...they are more in control of their emotions.  After rounds of failed IVF, I realised I stopped listening to the voice within and instead, was filled with so much anxiety, doubts, confusion and worry that I couldn't "feel" what was going on...

I hope and pray the New Years kicks in with a wonderful surprise for you!!!

SSBD to all...and Happy New Year! 2011 is gonna be OUR year ladies!!!!
