Sending all of you many BFP vibes! :vibes:

Sprinkling..... *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here's hoping that this new journal brings us lots of :bfp:!!!!

Melissa, How did your ultrasound go?

Tabitha, your chart looks great, hopefully you temp will still be up tomorrow!

I broke down and tested [/url] and I think I am seeing a very very very faint line because I have never saw that really pale of a line before when I used them, Steve said he didn't see anything but I seen the same line as I seen in the bathroom under darker lights as I seen in the day light ( I went outside quick to look (http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/subscriptions.php)) I just got done drinking alot of diet caffeine free orange soda because I was thirsty big time so not sure if what I am seeing is a line or maybe if it is I might of diluted it to much by drinking 3- 8oz plastic cups of DCFO soda in a matter of a half hour I saved the test and stuck it up in the cupboard and I will go back and look at it then later and see if that line is there or not or maybe I am just seeing things. [url="http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/subscriptions.php"] (http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/subscriptions.php)

Thanks girls! I really hope this is it but I don't know yet :nailbite:

Holy cow, Tab......I'm going to check your temp as soon as I wake up tomorrow!!! :errr: You have to rejoin now!!! :heee:

I'm freaking out and thinking it will show a real :bfn: when I test again or watch my temps drop tomorrow :( :bitenails My temp is going to be way off because I have to get up in the middle of the night and go to work so that temp is going to scare me the most. :bitenails

Think positive, Tab!

Tab, I hope this is it for you, girl! I will be checking your temps in the morning...though like you said, either way, don't be worried since it may be down because of temping in the middle of the night. Lots and lots of baby dust!

Holy fook, Tab!!! :rahrah: You HAVE to test now!!! Your temps have NEVER done this!!! If they've been up on 11dpo, they've always plummeted on 12dpo.....not this time!! They're still WAY up there!!! :yippee:

OMG!!!! This could be IT!!! How in the heck are you feeling? Sore bb's? Anything? Resub and join me!!! :hug99:

Your temp is still up, Tab, that is so exciting! You do know that thirstiness can be an early pregnancy sign, right? :)

What tests are you using?
And do you have any leftover OPTs? They (as I remember) can pick up hcg too, try one of them.

Melissa, How did your ultrasound go?

It went good. I have good news and not so good news. The good news.. clomid worked!! The not to so good...I am ovulating on my right side (no tube) so I am not feeling very lucky that this will be my month. The doctor said to go ahead and try that you never know..he has seen cases where the egg travels over to the tube and the woman gets pregnant. He suggested :sex: definitely on Sunday but recommended every day. We will definitely try...you can never give up hope!!!


Tab: Good luck girl!!! I hope this is it for you!!!

Thanks girls, I didn't use any OPK's at all. I'm still not sure about me being PG because about 2 hours ago I had a ton of CM and it was clear on the tp but couldn't stretch it or get any off. When I checked my cervix it was creamy. So I don't know :sigh: I'm not offically late until CD28.

I'm using the $1 Tree tests by the way.

Ummm....Melissa, do you remember Jenny? Dori's sister? The month she conceived her second one, she o'd from the side with no tube and she also wrote off that month......and that little eggie traveled over to the other side of her body to the other tube and implanted and now she has a baby girlo! :) You never know.....

Tab - I also had EW after I o'd this last cycle.....unless AF arrives, you're still in the game! :rahrah: I've got everything crossed for you!!! :pray:

Tabitha, your chart looks good. :crossfing

Melissa, good news about the Clomid, hopefully the little eggie is determined! :crossfing

I just took one a little bit ago and I don't see anything this time :( I will take another one in the morning if AF isn't here :(

I will be so glad when Halloween is over I can't tell who is who in some of your user names :lol:

It's Bev. My username is in my profile. :) Good luck tomorrow!

I wasn't sure since it said I live with Beverly :duh: Thanks for letting me know :lol: and Thank you girls! You girls are all so wonderful and such great support :grouphugg

Good luck Melissa and BD like crazy!!! :crossfing:

Yes I remember Jenny....that's right she did didn't she!!! I forgot all about that!!! We definitely haven't written off this month. Bev I really hope this is a determined little eggie!!!!! I don't really want to go through another round of clomid......I don't like all the mood swings and crap...but I will do it again if necessary. ;)

Tab :crossfing and everything else I have for you!!! Hold strong girl!!!!:peace:

Good luck testing, Tabitha!!

Melissa, It's possible! Hopefully you're getting all of your bding in!

I'm so sorry Tabitha...

I never pop in here but thought I would see if anyone has had any BFPs lately and I see you talking about me! :heee:

Yes, Miss Olivia is proof that you can ovulate on one side and your opposite fallopian tube will pick it up. Good Luck Melissa! I hope you don't have to be on clomid too much longer, if at all. Clomid really screws with your mind and I personally found it harder than my normal hormones being out of whack during pregnancy. It was worth it though. She is wonderful.

I see Congratulations are also in order to Shannon! I am so happy to see you got your BFP!

Good Luck everyone!!

Thanks Jenny!!! Say hello to Dori for me!!!

I'm sorry, Tabitha.

I'm sorry Tab...... :mope: :hug99:

Melissa... I am still thinking about you and praying that the little eggie made its way over to the good side :) Don't give up hope - the strangest things can happen when you are ttc... remember how I got my BFP with Lauren??? Talk about unexpected :)

Thanks girls!!


A girl on BOLU said I might of had a chemical pregnancy, so does that mean I miscarried? I didn't think it would effect me but at work today I cried because I thought I did something wrong :( in order for it to happen, this just sucks :bawl:

Tab-- I dont know much about chemical PGs but I would definitely call your OB asap if you think thats a possibility!

Alysia has a good idea. They may be able to run tests to see if your HCG is elevated. Then you would know.

Good Luck this month Ladies...I am thinking and hopeing and praying that you all find :bfp: this month!!!

I'm very sorry Tabitha.
Fingers crossed Melissa!!!

Amanda

Thank you Amanda. I think I have some dud tests, I had another faint :bfp: last night since my period has been really whacked out, I pretty much spotted most of the time and it was a only light flow for a few hours each day the rest of the time I spotted so thats why I tested again. I think my tests are coming up false postitive since it did it again last night :dunno: My spotting ended last night and I haven't had anything since :crazy:

Tab- I still think you should go to the doctor. You shouldn't be getting false positives unless you are looking at the tests much longer after the allotted time passes and you are actually seeing an evap line.

I agree..you need to get in to see your doctor. They can draw up some blood and tell you what's going on.

It takes forever to get into my OB's so I will wait and see when this cycle ends and see whats going on then if I am still having problems. The tests I used was from the $1 Tree. I think next time I will just go use the real kind and pay more money instead of dealing with these $1 tests!


Thanks girls!

Good luck Melissa and it looks like you O'd now :woo:

I'm going to have to agree with everyone, Tab. :hug99: I can't tell you how many times someone has said that they got their period....and then ended up pg. And then it turns out the "period" was really just 2-3 days of spotting. You never know.....

Melissa.....it looks like an O spike has hit your chart!! :rahrah:

I know.. I am soo excited!!! :crossfing that this one takes!!! ;)

Tabitha can't you get a requisition from your regular doc for a beta? It would end any questions one way or the other. :hug99:

I could I guess go there and get them to do one. I just don't know though because wouldn't you think if I was PG my temps would be up and not down??

Tab, go to the dr!! I always heard that you can't get false positives.... and could your spotting be implantation bleeding? I'd try one of those Walgreens tests and be on my way to see the dr...

Tabitha - I would definitely call the dr. I've heard many stories of women who "knew" they weren't pregnant because they "got AF" only to find out that it was just early spotting.
Melissa - Fingers crossed!!!

Amanda

Also, your temps are above the coverline isn't it?

Add me to those asking for you to go to the doctor, due to the light period / spotting and the temps above the coverline. It can't hurt to call and explain that you've had some positives, some negatives, spotting, and your temps are above coverline. They've got to be able to get you in early, or send you for bloodwork.

The $ store tests should be OK, but try something like Walgreens or CVS - a store brand. I think a one pack is less than $6, where it's about $9 in the brand names. The box might say something about manufactured by Inverness.

I agree, go to the doctor Tab!!!!

Hang in there Melissa!!!!

Hi Jenny! Good to see you!!!

Baby dust ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I"m going to wait it out a little :heee: The girls on CL think I should get a real test and test again since my temps are back up but not anywhere near what they were so I'm not thinking I am PG :sigh:

Tabitha, I think it would be worth it to either get another test, or try to get into the dr. just for piece of mind. At least then you would know one way or the other.

If my temps are still up tomorrow I will stop on the way home and get another test and then Saturday morning. Can you tell I am cheap and don't want to waste the money on blood work or the OB :lol: now if I really felt I was PG I would be all over getting the blood work done and going to the OB :nod:

Jolene is CD3 as of today (Thursday), she can be such a slacker :lol:

Tabitha - You have FAR more patience than I do!!! :awink:

*lurk* Hi Melissa :) Just checking in on you :bighug: :whistle:

Oh Tab......I wanted to mention this earlier... As for your temps being so "low".....you only have *1* temp on your chart that's below the coverline.......they shot right back up after that one!

So.....when are you going to the doctor? Or at least Walgreen's? :)

Ok so I merged my 2 charts together so everyone could see how far I dropped and it hasn't really gone back up to much?!?!?! I'm undecided if I want to buy a test or not.

I did test last again night and it was :bfn: so I split my cycle again!

I'm sorry Tabitha!

Amanda

Thanks Amanda, it's ok though. Hopefully soon!! :)

Don't give up yet Melissa!! We are all praying for you!!!


DH and I have officially decided we are done. We are content with our family of 4. Some may think its too soon to decide after the D and C but its been almost 2 months, boy does time fly.

I will still be here for support though!!! But you can take me off the list!
Thanks gals for everything!!!!! It meant so much to have you all for support during everything that happened.

Kara we will miss you around TTC. I am glad that you two are at peace with your decision. :hug99:

Lena: I am trying not to get my hopes up...but girl let me tell you my bb's are sooo freaking sore...they feel like they weigh 20 pounds each and to not wear a bra absolutely kills me and I hate wearing those constricting things!!! I feel like ass and just want to sleep. If this isn't it...then I am going to have one heck of an AF and I am coming down with something...aghhhh I hope it's PG!!!

I'm sorry Kara.
Melissa - Keeping fingers crossed!

:scratch: I don't understand. What do you mean by "clomid induced"?

I think your chart is looking fantastic, Melissa. I don't think you should worry about clomid induced symptoms or PMS symptoms and so on, with all 3 of my pregnancies (2 clomid pregnancies and 1 natural) all my symptoms were different, so who the heck knows what's what! :lol:

I just wish you all the luck! :hug99:

Thank you so much Deb!! I really appreciate it.

I do think I am coming down with something though. I feel like absolute ass. My throat is killing me and I just want to sleep. I am heading to the doctor today to find out what is going on. I can barely talk which is just killing me because my mouth is constantly running...see this smilie:talking: that is normally me....today not so much. This is more me..:yawn: and :sick:

:hug99: You are more than welcome!

I am so sorry you are feeling so bad, how sucky! I hope it passes quickly for you.

Melissa, your chart looks FANTASTIC! I hope you feel better soon...routing for good results in a few days, though! I know it's still early, but do you have a date in mind for testing?

Melissa, your chart looks FANTASTIC! I hope you feel better soon...routing for good results in a few days, though! I know it's still early, but do you have a date in mind for testing?

No not really seeing how I don't really know when to expect AF to show...this cycle is soo weird and out of whack. Not sure if my 2WW is actually 14 days like normal or if my cycle is going to continue on with the 28-31 days like it normally does. :bitenails I have no idea....

I think she means all of the things you are experiencing.....sore BBs, tired, etc. Clomid will give you all of the same symptoms of pregnancy up until about the time that you start your period. I, unfortunately, had to learn the hard way. I thought for sure that I was pregnant because of how I felt only to find out that clomid will make you feel that way. Now, if you are pregnant you will feel that way too. I guess the point is that if you are taking clomid try not to pay attention to any signs or symptoms that your body may be giving you that you might be pregnant because it could just be the clomid talking.

So when are you going to test? I keep checking in on you and your chart.

Tomorrow will be 10 dpo. Others can weigh in, but maybe test on 12 dpo (Sunday). That will be 6 days after the dip you had.

:lol: You guys are too funny. I will probably wait to see what my temps look like on DPO13. They usually take a nose dive then and if the temps are still up then I will test.

I'm impressed with your patience Melissa! :lol:

Amanda

Good luck Melissa!!!!

:crossfing: Melody and Melissa both of your charts are looking great!!!!

I think she means all of the things you are experiencing.....sore BBs, tired, etc. Clomid will give you all of the same symptoms of pregnancy up until about the time that you start your period.

Hey Chantal I am on IM if you wanna chat!!!

Thanks Sandy and Tabitha. Amanda I have to be patient. Heck I have been waiting for my :bfp: for 2 years. If that isn't patience then I don't know what is. :lol: Well better get that chart posted!!!

Melissa................chart is looking good...girl, you are so close.. these last few days are pretty tough, aren't they?

Hey Jenny, this is Lena..not sure if you remember me? We miss you and Dori around here!! How are you guys? How are your two little ones?

I found out that I have strep so it sucks!! My throat is killing me and trying to find soft foods bites the big one!

Melissa - I'm sorry to hear you are sick. Your chart sure is purdy though!! I'm impressed with your patience as well. I was a POASaholic though!

Lena - Of course I remember you! How are you? We are doing well. Emma turned four in August and Olivia was born on 4/30 so she is six months old now. Olivia is the easiest baby!!! Emma is doing great too. She is in preschool and still taking gymnastics. Dori and Lauren are doing great. They are still working on a little brother or sister for Lauren. Dori has suffered a couple of miscarriages on top of having trouble conceiving in the first place so their next step is a meeting with a fertility specialist.

Jenny let Dori know she is in my prayers. I think of her so often and wonder how she is doing.

We do miss you both around here, Jenny!! :hug99:

Thanks Alysia!

I'll let Dori know, Lena!

Thanks, Jenny. That's exactly what I meant. Sorry Melissa if it came across the wrong way. I'm excited for you to test soon and I hope you feel better soon!

I think it's safe to say I will not be testing anytime soon. My temps took a major nose dive. So unless they jump back up tomorrow then this cycle is done and I am just waiting for AF. Then on to round two of clomid and hopefully I ovulate on the left side and can get my :bfp: then. :dunno:

I'm sorry Melissa :hug99: Hopefully round 2 of clomid helps or this may be implantation dip :crossfing

Thanks Tab!! :hug99: I was thinking the same thing but not going to get my hopes up unless my temp rises like crazy tomorrow. I feel bad for Dave. He's the one that is going to have to deal with the "clomid bitch cry baby". :lol:

I'm sorry Melissa!

Amanda

I'm sorry, Melissa! :hug99: I'm not giving up until I absolutely have to.....maybe it's implantation dip.....

Thanks guys but I am not as upset as I thought I would be. I guess it's because I figured this cycle had a slim to none chance of ending up bfp. We will catch that eggie next cycle. :aok:

:secret: PS: AF still hasn't shown which :confused: me.:whistle:

Thank you Lena ;)

It was FANTASTIC chatting with you the other day Melissa! I knew I missed ya, but it fully hit me after our chat... hope to catch you again real soon friend :)

Hope the strep throat is going away. :bighug:

Crud, Melissa. :hug99: I agree.....hang in there and you'll get your baby. :hug99: You don't know what their schedule is....they're probably not having second thoughts about the fact that they're making you wait so long!! :lol: Kids........ :lol:

I can pretty much count this cycle out. Temps dove down again this am. No problem...just waiting for AF to show up and I'll call my DR tomorrow to get my script.

This cycle is bust. AF showed up with her bags cramps and bloating today. Oh well.

Thanks so much for the support. Ya know we have been trying for so long with such negative results. I have finally realized that there is nothing I can do when AF shows. Getting depressed, upset and angry does nothing. I handed this over to God a few months back and I have faith that it will happen..in His time. I get my strength and courage from Him.

I'm so sorry Melissa! Hopefully ovulating on the other side is the answer.

Thanks Jenny.


Well I called the dr this am to get my script. They are going to call it in today. So Thursday I will start again. They aren't sure how they are going to do the ultrasound seeing that CD 14 will be on Saturday and they are closed Thursday and Friday. She will have the dr call me back. ;)

Melissa, your outlook is soo gooood....I pray that you get a little one soon :hug99:

Melissa, I'm sending lots of good thoughts your way for a BFP this month!! Hopefully the clomid side effects will be nice to you this month.

We have one DD who's 3 and have been ttc #2 for 10 cycles now I think LOL I can't even remember! Anyways, I'm in the tww and hating every second of it! :)
Cheers!

Welcome Jen!

Thanks Tabitha! I guess I should have included I'm at cd21 4 dpo :( Long wait to go! LOL

If you post your link Jen, Melissa can add it to the stats list when she adds you in :)

Hi Ladies. I don't know if you'll remember me or not. It's been a while and I haven't subscribed again, not sure if I will. I'm still TTC. I'm having a hard day. I just found out that my best friend is pregnant with her 2nd baby, I'm thrilled for her, but it's so hard at the same time. I feel terrible for even feeling this way, but I guess I'm just frustrated.
I have a ? too... to do anything on FF do you have to pay? thanks!!
I hope to get back in touch with all of you! And, good luck!

Welcome Jen.

Hey Alyson. No you don't have to pay for the basic stuff at FF. I know how you feel. I used to feel the same way everytime someone got pg. It's rough. Good luck.

Jen a temp drop at 5dpo is ok...maybe implantation dip?

Good luck Melissa :hug99::pray:

Hey Alyson! Good luck!!!
I hope the clomid does the trick this cycle, Melissa!

Tabitha, you hit that high temp of 98.4 MUCH earlier than previous cycles. How are you doing?

Thanks for all of the welcomes!! I think I might sub again soon.
I'm wondering about OPK's.. anyone have any advice?

I know nothing about OPKs! I just wanted to say SUB!!!!


:lol:


:hug99:

lol Thanks Alysia!:) I do want to. I'm thinking:)!
Hey and didn't you dissappear off of my myspace friends?

i dont know.... did I? ill have to look tonight!

Thanks for all of the welcomes!! I think I might sub again soon.

What do you want to know???

Tabitha, you hit that high temp of 98.4 MUCH earlier than previous cycles. How are you doing?

I just glanced at my other cycles and yeah your right, I wonder if it will mean anything :crossfing: .. The only symptoms I've had so far are tender boobs and today I've had a headache all day and didn't take anything just in case :heee: other then that nothen else yet.

My usual wake time is 2:30 and thats when I temp, well a girl called me late I think around 11:30 and I didn't get to bed until after midnight for the second time (she woke me up out of my sleep) I was doing payments for everyone from her show (Pampered Chef) then submitting it and thats why I never got to bed until after midnight anyway I woke up around 3am and temped and it was 98.18 so I charted it anyway. Well then I went back to sleep and this time had over 3 full hours of sleep and it was 98.60 so which would you girls put in?

What brand should I consider? How do they work? Everything:)

Use the temp after 3+ hrs of sleep - that's a tricky situation b/c the first one was your usual time, but wasn't after 3 hrs of sleep. Either way, it's still a good high temp.

Melissa - I dont know if you remember... but back when I was ttc Lauren, someone posted a secret recipe for some WICKED amazing brownies. If I remember correctly, they were renamed "Fertility Brownies". :) All I know, I conceived Lauren the cycle I made and devowered these brownies. SO - here is that recipe and I wish you (and everyone else) the same luck :)

1c butter
2c white sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2/3c unsweetened cocoa powder
1c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2-1c semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional but OOOOOH so good, esp when under the influence of Clomid ;) hah! )

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Grease and flour 9x13" pan.
In a large saucepan, melt butter.
Remove from heat, stin in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Beat in cocoa powder, flour and salt.
If desired (but HIGHLY recommended ;) ) add semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix well.
Spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
DO NOT OVERCOOK!

*** feed to your hubby too, get his swimmers hopped up on sugar and caffeine ***

GOOD LUCK!

Oh - Melissa... I was just looking at my old ttc charts... I never started temping until about CD10-11 while I was on Clomid, because the Clomid made my temps a bit wonky and high. Just thought I would share that ;) :hug99:

I was looking for that recipe over the weekend!!! I do remember and Iw ill make them soon.

I figure I would temp very day otherwise I would forget...I am so retarded sometimes!!! :lol:

Okies - so my brain left my head - along with sanity this morning ladies! Jumped outta my left ear.. flipped me the middle finger and went bouncing merrily along hand in hand down the emergency exit of my building :| Too much "feels" right.. and yet I know I have to wait to test :( Anyone else have any way to get my mind off of this? LOL..

What are your cycles usually like? I would never test before I was late..but I have also been getting :bfn: for 2 years and have come to an understanding with my body. I usually won't test until 14-16dpo and high temps....but that's just me.

They're usually nothing like this one - it's been odd since the beginning! But then again, I haven't felt this way for a long time. Just before lunchtime I got absolutely nautious for the billionth time - and had heartburn all yesterday to the point of sleeping sitting upright. That and poor dh couldn't even go near my bb's without me screeching in pain! They usually get sore - but this sore is ludacris!!

Personally I would hold off....

Oh I'm gonna - for at least 3 or so more days... then I'll be past dd of af.. I think LOL - if I'm not over I'll be due/day before depending on the flux of my cycle. But.. the next few days will suck LOL

I'm not testing at all! My temps already started to drop today and I'm only on CD22 9DPO, AF isn't suppose to show til Saturday but I've had cramps all day today, my lower back was hurting this morning, I've had stinken heartburn all day today and I've been thristy too so needless to say the witch is right around the corner for me :(

Awww Tabitha! It's possible that that could be an implantation dip though as well!!!

Great minds think alike :) Ah gotcha, re:temping every day. :hug99:

Thanks Jen!!

No problem Tabitha! well, I think af is supposed to be here tomorrow through till Friday it's an adventure over my way LOL

Your temps are still climbing Jen so you never know :crossfing: for us both!!!!

We need the baby dust that's for sure! If I do get the wicked witch from the south (snickers) I'm going to the doc... my periods only seem to be a couple days - something's up here

Mine are 2-3 days of light My last cycle I only had it 2 days and it was light then went to spotting then went to light and then spotting the rest of the time. That was a weird cycle for me because I mainly spotted the whole time with the exception of having a very light flow off and on but was mainly spotting.

I'm :pray: for you Tab!!!!!!!

Thanks Jo :)

Where have you been? You haven't posted in my journal or come to chat with me in a long time... :mope: Don't you love me anymore? :sniff:

No idea how many DPO I am though... I REALLY need to start temping next month. Jeremy and I weren't very careful this past month so I'm not sure what is going to happen next week... AF may or may not be here http://www.crunchlite.com/boards/images/smilies/confused-smiley-013.gif http://www.crunchlite.com/boards/images/smilies/blush.gif

I know we DTD before I O'd but if those little buggers live longer than 5 days, well, there's no saying what might have happened.

I have been pee'ing A LOT lately... I think my mind is just playing games with me though...

Where have you been? You haven't posted in my journal or come to chat with me in a long time... :mope: Don't you love me anymore? :sniff: I need to sub to your journal again since when my sub ran out I lost Instant Notif. on journals.

Melissa, hope the Clomid is being nice to you :hug99: (and don't forget the brownies... they help ALOT when Clomid is whooping your butt). :heart: to you!

Clomid wasn't to bad this round. :dunno: I was a little irritable and crybabish...but no where as bad as last time. This weekend is :sex: fest time...I hope this is it. I haven't had a chance to make the brownies with Thanksgiving going on...maybe I will make them tomorrow after work. :chin: I am sure my dad would love them! ;)

:secret: You're suppose to check the charts when you take over the stat list and update the list accordingly, just thought you should know :heee:


Jackie is CD3 today ;)


Well I started spotting today soooooooooo I guess AF will be here soon.

awww Tabitha, I'm sorry to hear that! I had a minor (ok it was major) meltdown last night.. Poor hubby! He's such a good man though took it in stride and brought me home a wonderbar! I tested today... bfn.. but still hoping for a late bfp.. never know (((hugs)))

Thanks Jen!!! There's still hope for you :crossfing for you!!! Hopefully it was just to early to test!

thanks Tabitha! Though I don't know after this cycle (now I'm 2 days over what I usually go - but.. I did o late.. so I'm almost expecting the dreaded temp drop tomorrow) what's going to happen. I'm ready to quit, but dh keeps saying he's not disappointed and wants to keep trying.. and of course found out another person I know is pg.. so that makes 14.. *sigh* some days are just tougher than others.. But I keep :) and know eventually..

Thanks so much!!! I hope my dad doesn't hear!! :giggle:

Thanks for updating me, Melissa. I'm glad to hear the clomid wasn't too bad for you.

Tabitha, :bighug: for CD 1.

I start my Clomid for our 3rd IUI today. Hopefully the hot flashes won't be too bad this time. The IUI should be sometime around CD 14.

Melissa.... :lol: I'll be praying for deep sleep for everyone but you and Dave this weekend. :lol:

Tabitha - :hug99: Crud....

Jackie - I've got everything crossed for lucky #3!!! :hug99:

Thank you Jackie and Shannon!

Jackie~ I have everything crossed for you this month :crossfing:


So, my temps are going to that wacky stage again :rolleyes: Yesterday morning my temp was 97.18 well this morning it jumped all the way up to 98.28 and I'm only spotting again :rolleyes: I so hate when AF comes to town and messes with me and not to mention my temps messing with me :( I wasn't even covered up either when I woke up and it feels cool in here (the temp is set at 62 degrees) but yet my temp sky rocketed this morning! I have been so stinken thirsty since Wednesday and been so tired. Not sure what the heck is going on!!! I don't think I am PG though because I passed a small clot when I peed yesterday (I seen it in the commode)! It's been a light flow and spotting again! :gah:

So Melissa....it looks like the big O is just around the corner!! Were you successful in your quest for quietness this weekend? :awink:

Paul and I had a talk last night. I told him I was tired of scheduling sex and wanted things back the way they were in the early days - full of passion and lust. :brow: So...the temping is going away and we'll just do....stuff...when the mood strikes and we'll see what happens. However, we did make a committment to not be so tired all the time and choosing sleep over sex WAY too often. :lol:

Hopefully 2007 will hold a miracle for all of us here. :hug99: Of course, I'm including myself in that wish....even though I'm not on the list here anymore. :heee:

Shannon - I'm not subscribed here anymore so I miss out on alot of the goings on. I'm so sorry for your loss. :bighug:

Just a little vent.....so I had someone on another site do a free "reading"....I asked her about having children. She said that she doesn't see me having any biological children. :tear: I don't believe in those types of things, but thought it would be fun to see what she said. Now I really wish I hadn't. Hopefully I can get it out of my head and still continue thinking positive this cycle.

Thanks for reading my vent.

I'm sorry you got news like that Jackie. :hug99: I had someone do a reading for a couple of friends of mine a while back who were having TTC problems.....and was told that both would have to adopt if they wanted kids. One has twins now....and the other has a gorgeous baby girl born a couple of months ago. :)

You never know what the Universe has in store for you.....and what might seem like reality now can change with the next breath of wind. Hang in there and keep seeing yourself with a BIG belly and holding your perfect newborn in your arms. It'll happen.....

Shannon, Thank you so much for posting that. It's exactly what I needed to hear. I will keep picturing it.....I KNOW that it will happen for us.

Jackie you can't take those things to heart. It's just a bunch of mombo jumbo. Only God knows what your future holds. You keep trying and I just know that you will be holding your own child in your arms one day!

Shannon that is a great idea. Did you want to be added to the list? Let me know. I know you said you weren't going to temp and stuff...just wanted to offer. ;) And yes, so far dh and I have gotten some "quiet" time together. My dad is sleeping either on the couch or David's room so we at least have the bed to ourselves. David is sleeping on the floor so we have to be extra quiet. :lol: :blush:

Melissa - I'm glad you got to take care of some business with all the extra company. :heee:

As for adding me to the list.....I'm not ready yet. I'll let you know if/when I change my mind. :) Thanks for the offer though.... :hug99:

I already PM'd you on the other site but please do not put to much faith in the reading! Your time will come soon :hug99: I'm just sorry you had to get an answer like that :hug99:!

Thanks Melissa and Tabitha. I especially like your description, Melissa. You're right that only God knows what's in store for us.

Jackie, I wouldnt take that stuff to heart... my friend was told the same thing and she is pregnant with her third child.

Sorry I havent been in this thread much.. I am hoping to be around a bit more. AF is due soon and I can already feel my hormones going wild.. as my DH says "the planets are aligning for me to turn mean " :lol:

I'm sorry Jackie. It can be really discouraging!!! We did 7 cycles of clomid, 2 cycles of injections with IUI, and finally IVF for my son. I thought it would never be "our turn!" Don't lose faith!!!

Amanda

:hug99: Jackie, I am sorry it made you feel down. I remember someone saying a similar thing to me when I was struggling to get pregnant with my first and it devistated me, even though I didn't believe it, I still got freaked out because at the time it was my worst fear. Well 3 kids later, they were obviously wrong. I know nothing anybody says to you can make it feel better, just know we are all here for you :hug99:

Melissa: Looks likes O is on it's way any day now, I hope you are keeping up the :brow: fest!

I started using OPK's today and I had a faint line what do I stick down in FF for the OPK? I've never done OPK's before so I am clueless on what they mean and how you mark it on Fertility Friend.

Tab, the test line has to be the exact same color OR darker than the control line for it to be a +. if it's lighter then it's considered a -.

We had our ultrasound this morning. I have about 4 follies that are decent sized. My lining is 8mm with a triple stripe pattern. :D I triggered at 4 this afternoon, then we go back on Monday morning for the IUI.

It was quite the site for the trigger. I was Christmas shopping at the mall at 4:00, so my sister gave me the shot in the mall parking lot. Hopefully nobody thought I was shooting up drugs. :lol3:

I also asked the dr. what would happen if this IUI isn't successful. He said that because our main problem is male factor, our best bet would be to move onto IVF. So if this cycle doesn't work, then we'll be moving onto IVF in the new year.

Wow Jackie!! It's here already!! I've got everything crossed already that Monday is successful. :pray:

Good luck, Jackie!!!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this message board. I just started using a CB fertility monitor this cycle. Here are the results so far:
CD6-Low
CD7-High, BD evening
CD8-High, BD evening, CM=W
CD9-Peak, BD evening, CM=EW
CD10-Peak, spotting, BD evening, CM=EW
CD11-High-DH went hunting couldn't BD.. CM=W
CD12-Low, BD morning, CM=W
I had an ectopic PG in Feb, this year after having a tubal reversal on 12/30/05. My tube ruptured so I'm down to only my left tube. My question is, I had those high's and peaks on my FM but I still havn't had a rise in my BBT. Does this mean the FM is wrong? Or does it take a while for my BBT to rise after O'ing? Sorry for the book, but I'm so confused....
~Thanks~

Thank you Lynn :)

Thank you Tabitha. Sorry I was MIA this weekend. David had a basketball game and his birthday party yesterday and my dad headed back home today so I have been trying to get everything situated for the week today.

I am feeling fine. My temp went back up. I won't do any testing at least until 14 dpo and high temp.

Welcome Kris. I have never used a FM before so I don't have any advice for that one. Good luck!

Jackie I hope you get your :bfp: with this cycle! Good luck!! :hug99:
