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.

Hi!

We're still here....

I am so sorry for your loss.  It's one of the worse things that can happen to a woman...hang in there and I hope and pray 2011 will bring you success...

I am towards the end of my 2ww and my hcg is due for tomorrow but we can't decide whether we'll do it tomorrow or the weekend.

SSBD to all of you lovely ladies!
