Good afternoon Ladies!!

Well my appt. went well. She was willing to send me to an RE if this cycle doesn't work but I think I will give plain old Clomid/IUI a chance before I go that route. The only bad part of my visit was when they tried to draw my blood... I felt like a pin cushion but after three pokes they finally were able to find a vein.

So only 7 days until AF is supposed to show........

Allison: How are you holding up??? When is AF supposed to show for you?

Baby Dust

 

[skuttle]

Well, we made it through the funeral. Most people were okay until the actual funeral started. I think that's when most of us realized that it was all real. At the end, DH went up and said a few words on behalf of all of the grandkids. He did a great job and I was so proud of him. He had to stop a few times, but he did great. We've been together 13 years (married for 7 tomorrow) and I think this was only the 3rd or 4th time I've ever seen him cry. Seeing him cry I think was harder on me than the actual funeral itself.

And guess what...I can't even go to a funeral without seeing a pregnant woman! I saw TWO at the funeral!! I didn't say anthing, but after mass we got in the car and DH said to me..."I know what you're thinking...you can't go to a funeral in a city 1 1/2 hours away without seeing a pregnat girl!"

Rebecca...I'm on CD22. AF has showed up anywhere from CD28 to CD33 for me. I usually start going to the bathroom every 30 minutes and hold my breath while doing so around CD27 or so. Good luck to you, too!! HOpefully you won't need that RE!

Jennifer, thanks for the info re POTC. We do still plan on going tomorrow. We left DS with my mom after the funeral so that we could still celebrate our anniversary tomorrow. I think it'll be a good thing for DH.

Allison: I'm glad the funeral went well for you and your DH. Hopefully now you all will have a chance to heal. Sorry about the preggy people but I thought it was cute that your DH picked up on your feelings.

I'll start the whole "holding my breath" thing in a couple of days (CD24).

I hope you get to join the ranks of the preggy people this time

 

[GypsySue]

Alison, I am sorry for all the sadness of the funeral for you and your family; but glad it is over for you and hope you & DH can enjoy your anniversary.

Rebecca--No AF, no AF, no AF. . .maybe we can ward her off by chanting?

I am 11 DPO, so I tested. Negatory. Sigh.

I am going to see the movie "Knocked Up" today. I am a glutton for punishment, I know.

Hope all is well for everyone else--all are in my thoughts.

Cheers!

Hi y'all! I have been around and been reading. Been busy and in a bummy kind of of mood. Today would have been the due date

I have an appt on Tuesday and honestly I just want it over with now. I know for all of you trying that sounds horrible, but please understand the timing of this for me. It's hard to find joy when your heart breaks over the other.

Allison my thoughts are with you and your family.

Welcome to all the new ladies here!!!!!

I'll be chanting "No AF" with ya'll... hey it can't hurt

Baby Dust to everyone!

 

[Gurgi]

I only have a moment to pop in and say good morning...look for the thread I made about killing DH or my IL's today

Have a wonderful baby dust day, ya'll

 

[princess pooh]

Hi all

Aww Allison, that's so sad. I'm so sorry for your family.

WDW Aurora, I know how you feel about the waiting. I was ready to start trying months ago but DH's job situation was up in the air and we thought we might have to move across the country. Being in limbo sucks.

This cycle has just been confusing for me. Today was supposed to be the big O day but my temp was already high this morning. Either I already O'd or it's not going to happen this cycle. I guess I'll find out in a few days. I found a site where you can order cheap OPKs so I'm going to try going that route next cycle.

 

[DznyLvr2005]

I'm going to wait until our Disney trip is over in Sept....
I was already preg. twice with 2 miscarriages. I gotta figure stuff out, I'm so nervous to get pregnant again. ughh!
Apparently I'm super fertile since we only 'tried' twice and got preg twice.. hmmm

 

[DznyLvr2005]

Skuttle - I am so sorry for your loss

I have a question that I hope someone will be able to help with. My cycles can be between 30 and 40 days and you're supposed to ovulate 14 days (ish) before AF starts (I think I've got that right!!). I'm on CD11 and for some reason I've convinced myself that I've ovulated already. Does anyone get ovulation pain (i.e. feel when they're ovulating?) as I felt something like a very slight AF cramp - could that be it? Also, with regard CM, isn't that meant to signify ovulation? Do we get CM throughout the cycle, or just a different sort at time of ovulation? I've heard about EWCM but I can't tell the difference!! I haven't used my OPK yet this month as I was waiting for CD13 when it suggested I start testing as I haven't a clue when I should ovulate. I don't fancy charting my temp as I know I'd be rubbish at it!!!

From all these questions, you'd never guess I've already been trying for 7 months now!! No wonder I haven't been successful!!

Vick

I think you can have ovary pain before you ovulate. I do sometimes. In regards to CM, it's totally non existant in the 2nd hlaf of the cycle. You should really do the BBTs, then you'll know for sure. Mine are low 97's pre O and they linger around 98.4 after. So I definatley know when and if I ovulated. Good luck!

 

[momsully]

Helenabear - Hugs today and good luck with your appointment on Tuesday.

Skuttle - I am glad the funeral went ok. Sorry about the pregnant women but they are everywhere! DS5 went to a pool party last night and there were three moms that were pregnant again. It is so frustrating to listen to them talk about how they really weren't even sure they wanted another. Did you get to see Pirates? We went and took the boys and they loved it.

Gurgi - Hope things were OK today with DH and the inlaws. I spent last weekend with the inlaws in Ohio so I know how they can be!

DznyLvr2005 - Sorry about the miscarriages. Maybe you can bring home a Disney souvenir.

Princess TInkerbell - I really hope we have good weather. We were in Hilton Head last year at the end of June and it was fabulous. We are actually flying into Atlanta and driving since flights into Savannah from Denver were outrageous.

GypsySue - Sorry about the negative test.

Baby Dust for all and I am also joining in the no AF chant. I am not holding out much hope as I have a ton of PMS symptoms. I am still planning to test Monday AM if AF is not here. I only did two days of the Clomid before I ended up in the hospital so I am not sure if it was even effective.

 

[Minnesota!]

Elaine for the absence you are feeling more today. Your sweet baby is around you - and I believe he/she is guarding his new sibling - and making sure momma ends up happy this time

Carla - you are so close! I am betting she makes her appearance this week - my offical guess is either the 3rd or the 5th. Weighing 7#6oz and 21 inches. Can't wait to hear all about her!

Allison - I am so sorry for you and DH's loss. Maybe grandma will send you guys a little one? My dear friend, her grandma was dying (fall of 04) and said she wanted my friend to have a baby soon. She died in 10/04 and my friend found out on T-day 04 she was pg. After 3 years trying and 3 m.c.

I hope you are all doing well. the boys are keeping me busy - I go back to work in 24 days...so I will have more time to chat then...

Hope to see tons of BFP's this month! Hard to believe it has been almost a year since I got pg with my Noah!!!

 

[skuttle]

No AF! No AF! No AF! No AF!

Okay...now that I'm finished the chant...

Thanks so much everyone for the kind words. It really does mean a lot.

Elaine... to you! I'm sure today has been a rough one for you. At least now you can say you have gotten through this day, and now you can focus on that baby inside of you right now. I hope your appt on Tuesday goes smoothly.

Gurgi...I'm off to find your thread!

Princess Pooh...Charting can be tough, I know! Last month I had a wacky chart. FF didn't show O until really late, then a few days later they took away my O day and said they couldn't pinpoint it.

Momsully...It's not over till it's over, girl!

Minnesota...thanks so much. Maybe we will get a little push from grandma.

We had a great day today for our 7th anniversary. We did make it to go to POTC and we really enjoyed it. And I of course spotted all pregnant ladies right away. I think I have some sort of pregnant lady radar!

 

[2bemarried]

AF started here yesterday. Just waiting for tomorrow so I can call my RE to start this round of IVF.

Elaine,



It's the day after you posted this. I hope you are doing better. My thoughts were with you on your sad day.

Lots of love!

THANKS!!

Good Afternoon !

Rebeccah: I have my fingers crossed for you . Are your progesterone numbers still climbing? I missed a lot while I was gone, sorry.

Allison: So glad you had a nice anniversary. I actually didn't stay for the credits (I found out after I saw it), I hope it was worth staying for. I guess I'll catch it on DVD. Tomorrow is supposed to be the day I would normally spot so I'll be doing the frequent bathroom visits myself . We'll see if the progesterone works. I am hoping to hold it off and test next Sunday.

GypsySue: I was going to go see Kocked Up yesterday too, but I laid down for a 20 minute power nap and woke up 3 1/2 hours later! Was it good or should I wait for the DVD? Sorry about the negative test. It's still very early.

Elaine: Your little angel will always be with you. Lots of hugs during this difficult week.


Princess I tried the IC too. They did get darker on my surge day, but I never got a line as dark as the control. I was double checking w/ another brand (Obsessive?). I could tell a differece though so they do work just not like the ones at the drug store. GL w/ them!

Dvnylvr2005: So sorry for your losses . We'll be in the World at the same time .

momsully: GL tomorrow. I have my f/x for you! The drive from Atl isn't bad at all. Glad you didn't come this weekend, we had a nasty storm pass through here.

Hi to everyone!

No AF! No AF! No AF!

Jennifer

 

[GypsySue]

Jennifer--Knocked Up was good. Definitely adult themed, but I laughed my *** off. Not too hard to handle at all from the TTC perspective, at least for me.

No AF!!

 

[skuttle]

Kristy...Good luck with this next round of IVF.

Jennifer...The credits seemed to last FOREVER! LOL! DH and I both had to potty after drinking that huge drink and the movie lasting for 3 hours! But we stuck it out. The last scene was worth it.

NO AF!! No AF! No AF! No AF!

 

[helenabear]

No AF! No AF! No AF!!!

I'll keep on chanting

Kristy, I guess your AF was welcomed so you can begin the process though I really do wish you all the best!

I agree Allison, the credits are worth waiting for. i've seen the movie twice now. It was nice to catch what I missed the first time. My dad wants to see it so I am sure I'll see again

Thank you all for the good thoughts. I admit it makes me scared for the appt on Tuesday. Last time I had no real signs that anything was wrong. The sack was growing but the baby stopped. Granted I feel worse this time than I did last... though being 12w4d along some things have started to fade again (like the sore bbs for me started at about 6w, and now it is about as painful as it was for me at 7w). I worry that the fade is the baby gone like last time. Once I get past Tuesday I'll know for sure... I'll be 13w and "safe" so I'll be back to myself then. Thank you all for listening even though I am sure it can be tough to listen to this kind of talk.
