TTC thread take 2

DONE! Easy peezy! Well considering the Diabetes practice for the last 22+ years give me an advantage with the injection part. I did make Mike cringe though which was kinda fun cause I made a big dramatic swoop of the arm and made him drum roll! He wasn't ready for it (watching) but I was! Needle slightly longer but not scarey! Bring on the growth spurt!

Awesome Esbrick! Best of luck!

Good job E!!!

Happy Monday everyone!

I just wanted to check in on everyone - wondering how everyone is doing.


Any news out there?

I am waiting for ovulation - should be soon. Of course my DH is going out of town today. He is going to be gone overnight and back late on Tuesday - I told him that he may need to be ready when he gets home on Tuesday. I think my exact words were something like "just remember you are going to need to perform - so don't come home too tired" I thought I was funny!


Have a great week everyone! And lots of babydust!

I've used that line a few times myself. Did he laugh?
Good luck to you this month!!


My sister is going to have her baby this week and I feel like I am bracing for a storm - sorta like battening down the hatches of my heart. Ugh!! On a good note, some friends of mine just recieved their adoption referral for a baby daughter from China. They've been waiting for 4 years now so I am so excited for them. She's an adorable 1.5 year old.

We need some more good news ladies!!

D ~ First off Good luck to your sister for a safe delivery. Of course we're there for you. Yah on the baby from China! That's a great thing! They must be so excited to see their baby!

Well, I had a little melt down on Saturday but to be honest I'm not sure it was drug related could have been more just life and times. I did feel like a brat at one point and stamping my foot but I sat on the couch and had a beer instead. I have 4 more shots left and I go for a U/S & blood work on Wednesday. I'm tired. . . I want a nap. . . I want AF to leave already. . . OK whine done. . . It's a beautiful day and the Hawks are still primed to win on Wednesday!

Take care!

Wow Esbrick, I am glad you were able to do the shots and stuff so easily! Even if you did have a little meltdown it sounds like you are doing good- hey this stuff is stressful- you are allowed multiple meltdowns

D&D- good luck with the arrival of the new niece/nephew, hopefully it will be a very happy event

I can't wait for someone to get good news on here!!! I really feel like it's coming.

So far the clomid has been super easy for me. Absolutely no side effects (knock on wood) after 3 days, two more to go.

Good luck everyone!

That's great about the clomid! Have you been taking it before bed? That's what I did and the side effects were limited and close to none. I will say I thought I had been getting hot flashes on Friday and Sunday. I know you only get those with Lupron but I swear I had them. Nothing crazy but I'm normally freezing at work so for me to take my sweater off even my boss noticed!

I want to go home, watch tv, and put away laundry! I swear! I'm a little nervous because I'm not sure when I am going to have to take a day. I know that I will definately need to take a day off on July 2nd cause I'm going to NY on the 1st. I also I know I need to take a day off for extraction and one for insiminitation. I can only cross my fingers that one of those days is on a weekend! At least I know that I can work from home if I need to. I'm trying to do as much administrative as I can so noting is left til the last minute. I'm just hoping that he doesn't give me a hard time about taking 3 days off especially since i just got back from vacation. I guess I will have a better idea on timing after Wednesday.

I'm thinkin happy thoughts and going to my happy place!

[Kennywife]

Oh honey what happened? Glad you're home safe! I bet Kenny is too!

[Kronk's girl]

Morning Ladies,

Well I possibly jinxed myself yesterday saying I had no side effects. I have been taking it in the evening and last night I woke up with a horrible stomach ache and it is still bothering me a little bit now . Not sure if I just ate something bad yesterday or if it was from the clomid. Hopefully it goes away soon.

Kennywife- I hope the fun part of your trip outweighed the bad stuff!

How is everyone else feeling today? This weekend we have a baby shower. I still like baby showers so I don't mind, but it is for couples, so this will be my husband's first shower... we'll see how he likes it- .

Have a good Tuesday everyone

[cherbear]

Gabbie you left us hangin' girl. Like KG said, I hope that the good did outweigh the bad! Hope all is well


KG I've NEVER been to a couple's baby shower. Should be interesting!

Ooo yucka on the tummy ache! I would chalk it up to maybe an upset stomach. Either way it stinks The shower sounds like fun. I haven't been to one in a while. I would love to go to a wedding shower sometime soon. I love those! There is so much anticipation and hope and fun when you go and it's contageous!

Gabbie ~ I agree! U ok?

Got a little teary at dinner last night when Mike asked me to fix the salt shaker. . . really? Then this am got a little misty because it's Meg's last day of the 6th grade and she is becoming a 7th grader and turing 13 all in one month. Even as I type this i'm feelin it, sheesh but that could just be normal. . . I also realized today that the egg retreival is sometime either this weekend or next week. I'll know more tomorrow I guess. I gotta tell ya, I'm a little nervous on this one girls. . . In a perfect world this would happen either Thursday or Friday of next week when my boss is out of the office! And in a really perfect world have the insemination either on a weekend or the following Monday or Thursday since he is out both days. That's the perfect scenario but we shall see what the firtiltiy gods deem their plan Their plan rarely coinsides with ours as you well know!
