Elaine- great to hear from you- sounds like you have definitely found some peace and are taking it easy. i am always cheering you on though!

Carla- great to hear from you too. i did the same thing- i demanded help, testing, treatment. i knew i had an issue and my doc was accomodating to test....i would have switched docs if she hadn't. i didn't want to wait forever knowing i had problems. Glad the pregnancy is going great, but sorry to hear you're sick.....like you said, i won't complain a drop about m/s if i ever get the opportunity to have it.

Amber- hang in there- i know 3 mos isn't long, but i know it can be frustrating. i am going on 2 years here and 8 months on drugs. And Carla who posted just above has been through the most probably....and Elaine. We've all been there and experienced the heartache and frustration- just take it one day at a time and come here or to other boards for support. I know chatting here helps me tremendously. who else is going to care about my follie size? lol

Skuttle- i say go for the BD at disney. wait til DS is asleep and go for it!

Imarriedgrumpy- twin nieces? how fun!!!! i am glad you made it through the first Christmas.....my family knows not to ask the baby question, but then again, they are all in the loop on our situation too. i know it can be hard.

well appt and u/s today went well- my follies grew- i have a 20mm, 19mm, 14mm, 13 and 12.5. today is CD9. my urine test showed no LH surge though, so they want me to do another (my 7th) follistim injection tonight, then another u/s in the am and probably trigger tomorrow am or pm. then IUI on sat afternoon late or sunday am. nothing like an IUI on Christmas eve! lol.....i did the follistim shot myself finally too- for the last 2 nights. it wasn't that bad. i am so proud of myself for doing it! well wish me luck tomorrow!

Okay ladies...I need an HONEST opinion as I'm having a moral dilemma! My cycle is longer so I O late, usually around CD20. I don't think we've BD'd at the right time yet as I just started charting and just noticed this! CD 20 falls on the first full day of our WDW vacation! I'm not sure if it would be okay if we BD with DS in the same room...we'd wait until he was sound asleep of course. I'm just not sure if that would be wrong. What do y'all think? I'd hate to miss a month of TTC, but at the same time, it just seems wrong to BD with DS in the same room!

My opinion - Go for it. He will never know. It has been done before. And just think, he may get a sibling out of the deal.

Hi Carla - glad to hear you are feeling sick! I can't believe how far along you are already.

I have an ihome for my ipod. It looks like a clock-radio. Sound isn't bad. You can find them almost anywhere.

I have to agree with pushing your doctor, especially if you have some evidence that your cycles are irregular. I got my testing done right away because I hadn't had a period in almost a year. I started charting and took my results to the first appointment, which I had to wait four months for. If you are really anxious, pay for the blood tests yourself, and take the results to your doctor. If it has only been a couple of months, though, and you are not of "advanced maternal age," then keep working at it for a while.

I have to complain here, even though I am not TTC. My bb's hurt SO BADLY! I thought I was going to die last night when Emily brushed against me. I am on CD17, and I should not be PG because I am on the pill. But I have not been as religious as I should be taking my pill on time every day, and sore BB's were the first sign for me when I got PG, so I am a little concerned. I took a PG test last night which was negative - but I expected that the soreness would go away. Believe me, it hasn't.

So does anyone else get sore BB's when they are on the pill mid-cycle?

Michelle for your follicles. Go LH surge!

Denae -- YES! I did when I was on the pill! Hurt like crazy....

Hey ladies! Just wanted to pop on and say HI and wish everyone some good luck with everything! I know that you'll all get it eventually!

Happy Christmas BD'ing everyone!

Mel

 

[mickeyboat]

Thanks, Mel. It just freaks me out when it happens. I looked a little on line and it said that it is not uncommon.

Argh!

I have been feeling so depressed lately. This is only our third month trying, but I am just so down. It seems like everywhere I turn, someone is pregnant. I just saw an old friend and he had two kids (both very unplanned) and I just think, why can't that be me? I know that I haven't been trying long at all, but it still upsets me.

I am suppose to O around the 24th, so I'm hoping for a nice "present". Good luck to all of you.

It's our third month trying also. I know how you feel. Just keep your head high and your thoughts good. it will happen...

 

[DisneyGirl4188]

Thanks everyone. I know I shouldn't feel bad, especially when others have tried a lot longer and have gone through a lot more.

Michelle, good luck! Lots of for you!

 

[exwdwcm]

thanks!! whether you just started TTC or have been trying for years, whether you are on fertility meds or not....it's all a tough journey!! just keep the faith and get in lots of practice!

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Hey Ladies!!!

Best of luck Michelle...is sounds like you have quite a few good looking follies...Yeah!!! Here is hoping you get a Christmas miracle

To all the newbies: no matter how long you have been trying it is a hard thing to go through. What makes it worse is when other people you love are insensitive to your feelings. But that is why all of us are on this board...to support one another through the good times (BFP) and the bad times (BFN or m/c). So no worries...come here and vent, cry, scream or yell. We have all been there

So here is my vent for the day: I feel like CRAP!!!!! I am queasy alot of the time and it would not be bad if it was m/s but I don't know that it is yet. But i'm not really hopefull because my BBS are not as sore today so I suppose that means my progesterone is falling Plus I was freezing yesterday and today I'm hot. WHY CAN'T THIS BE EASY!!!!! Ugh...

OK...I feel a little better.

Anyway...I probably won't be on here much until after christmas so I wanted to tell you all Merry Christmas!!! Enjoy the Holiday and I hope we all get what we want from Santa......a BFP!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

My cycle last month was 39 days. Is that normal? I was on the BCP for 11 years, and just recently came off in September. We are actively TTC, no luck yet. But, the first month my cycle was 24 days, the second 39 days. Now, I'm on day 29 of this cycle and still no sign...Can someone give me some insight?

I will try to help...sometimes it take 6 months or more for your cycle to even out after coming off BCP. Since you were on them for so long it could take longer. I would say hang tough for a few more months and see if things even out. If they don't go see your Dr.

Hope that helped

 

[DMickey28]

Hey Guys... Merry Christmas. I hope this holiday season is the one full of luck for everyone. Who knows, with so many distractions, maybe it will be...

Skuttle ~ Can you perhaps use the bathroom? Is he going to be sleeping in the second bed? I think I would feel that was too close for comfort but maybe you can make provisions elsewhere... the bathroom and a nice shower, do you have a private balcony? However, I have to say I don't see anything morally wrong with it, and under the covers you can be fairly discrete, I just think I would be a little wierded out personally. Good Luck!!!

Anyone remember the DCL 'little souviner' commercial from a few years ago? Do you think the little girl was out of the room when they made their souviner? The little girl looked to be about 3 or 4 so I expect she wasn't up really late in the child care center.

My temps are headed down, maybe I'll O early this month. That woould be nice so I don't have to deal with AF while we're tuoring the world. Yesterday DH gave me one of my Christmas presents early. He got me a set of Mickey pants red luggage with black trim. Our luggage and travel document arrived around the same time so Dh picked both up and gave tehm to me early because he knew I was stressing out about our trip.

Good Luck Michelle!!! I'd say 'have fun' but I know this process is generally any thing but. grow follies!

Merry Christmas to everyone! I might not make it back before the boards go down for the upgrade, so wanted to post it now.

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

Just stopping in to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy BD-ing/2ww/BFP's and MS all around!

We leave in the morning for Minneapolis, and are hoping for no snow delays in our journey (or DH will REALLY put on his grumpy pants!) I've packed my OPK's and my pee cup (still boldly labled "pee cup" ), my preseed lubricant, my BBT thermometer, and my sexy red nighty...all set for a holly jolly Christmas and praying for a bedroom with a door and NOT the room right next to my parents' bedroom! I guess if anyone asks when we're going to have a baby I could say "we're working on that this weekend". Or maybe not...

Happy Holidays, everyone!

 

[skuttle]

LOL! The pee cup still cracks me up!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas before the boards go down!

After a mini-meltdown tonight (my cousin having her twins has really affected me more than I was expecting and a co-worker that I hadn't seen in a while walked into my office today for me to notarize something and she's pregnant...that hurt!), so I figure we'll go ahead and BD at WDW. I can't skip a month...just can't! We'll figure it out, I'm sure. And I agree..what a great souviner that would be.

Well, it's been a really rough week here. We went for our 10 week appointment on Monday & the doctor didn't see what she thought she should for that timeframe & mentioned the possibility of a miscarriage. After blood tests to measure my hcg levels Mon & Weds & seeing them drop drastically on Weds, it became real that I am in fact miscarrying.

I'm going in for a D&C tomorrow at 4 pm. Hubby & I both are very distraught over this setback, but both want to start trying again as soon as we get the go ahead from the doctor. It has been a real roller coaster ride of emotions over the last couple months - we thought we were lucky when we conceived our first month trying (which was also my first month off BCP.) After getting used to the idea of getting our BFP so quickly, we are now dealing with this. I think it's especially hard right now with Christmas just days away - we had even gotten each other a couple of little baby things for each other for Christmas.

Right now we're trying to stay positive & look forward to our WDW trip in less than a month. After we return home, we should be getting the OK to TTC again. I'm looking forward to sharing TTC experiences with all you girls again - you're a great & supportive group. Not sure I'll be back for a couple days...I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas & we all get BFP's soon!!

I am so sorry

OMG Emily...I'm so so sorry I don't really know what to say except I'm so sorry.

I hope you can stay positive and enjoy your trip to the World. You will be trying again before you know it.

 

[skuttle]

Oh, Emily. I'm so very sorry. I hope things go smoothly tomorrow and that y'all are able to enjoy christmas and your trip.

 

[helenabear]

I'll come back later for a real post... I just couldn't leave after seeing what I did.

Emily, I am so very very sorry. My heart is breaking for you right now We just went through something similar (though it was 12 weeks for the D&C for me). It's just been a month and I had my D&C the Friday before Thanksgiving... made it kind of hard to feel thankful. Hang in there, and my thoughts are with you. Unfortunately for me, we had no symptoms and my hormones did not drop... so we had no signs until a bad ultrasound where we saw the baby had been reabsorbed (we saw the baby at just shy of 7 weeks) If you need anything at all, feel free to PM me. I really do feel so horrid for you right now... just not a good thing to go through. Keep telling yourself that there was nothing you did and nothing you could have done different. Again, I'm here if you want to talk or have questions about anything physical you are going through. I am very sorry for your loss
