I go to Providence with Seekonk being on the RI boarder. No I don't think I want to change doctors. My aunt said that she would talk to her friend at Mass General--he runs the infertility dept there. After discussing it with my gyn going to Boston for tests etc would be a headache. I really like my doctor Dr Marcus Jurema very professional and to the point
Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

Arrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh! I had a huge post and the server got busy. 
Carla, you seem to be stimming right along. I'm sorry the shots hurt last time. A friend who is down regging got a Rx from her RE for a topical lidocane to numb her injection site.
Becky, Congrats on the job!!
Someone asked about prenatals. I took an OTC for years then switched to a Rx when I got my BFP. Most of the Rx have a laxative in them and you really need that in the first tri. The constipation was 10x worse than the morning sickness ever was.
I never took BCPs until I went through fertility tx.
The RE wanted one or two cycles to build/shed the lining before stimming. He said it helped have a good lining for implantation.
I'm scared I'll lose this post, so I'm going to submit. Wish I could remember everything else I'd posted in my lost post.

How fun to hear all the good news, and hang in there to all the folks still TTC...
I just had a difficult conversation with DH - turns out we've not had the same ideas and expectations of when and how we'd start TTC. I thought we'd agreed that I'd go in for a preliminary exam in early July to get the green light, then we'd start TTC in August, or September at the latest. I was thinking that we'd be intentionally about this and I'd chart and we'd BD on the "most likely" days. After all, I'll be 35 on my next birthday, and DH turns 40 this year. We're not getting any younger, and this might not be easy for us to get pregnant. I'm thinking that we should be actively TTC and then if something isn't working, we'll be able to move forward sooner rather than later and get it diagnosed and worked out.
WELL, turns out DH has been thinking we'll just stop using BC sometime in the fall (September or October) and see what happens. No baby, then, oh well.
ARGH! I thought we were on the same page with this! We'd had this conversation when we were dating, when we were engaged, and just after we got married. Each time, we both said we wanted kids, and we both agreed that we'd start trying to get pregnant after we'd been married 2 years. Well, we've been married almost 2 1/2 years, but DH is NOW deciding that this isn't a priority! I don't want to say that this would have been (or is) a "deal breaker" for me in deciding to marry DH, but I sure would have had a lot more conversations about this in premarital counseling!
GRRRRR!
Sigh. Thanks for letting me vent...This is going to take several conversations, and I don't know if he'll understand or agree with me anytime soon. Are there any books out there for men to help them understand how all this TTC stuff works but who really don't want to know all the gory details about how women's bodies work but should learn it anyway and that help them get over their fears about all this?

Thanks everyone for the congrats!! 
I start my new job on June 19th. I can't wait- I feel like things are finally moving forward instead of standing still. It will be a great job to have while ttc and when pregnant, and it's much closer to home.
Reread for QOTD (couldn't post that earlier... ARG!)
ImarriedGrumpy- talk, talk, and talk some more. Maybe he's just a little freaked out by all of it.
Carla- I have SO hopped into the shower before with socks (or underwear) on before- you cracked me up!
2bemarried- CD 1 is the first day of substantial red menstrual bleeding. Spotting gets counted as the previous cycle.
tiggersmom- You had BETTER keep popping in here to let us know how you are doing!!!

Lisa, driving into Boston would definitely be a pain. I have heard great things about the hospital in RI and the staff at NEMC is great, too. I think they have a good organization and their success rates are higher than MGH and Boston IVF. If you like your doctor and trust he's doing the right things, no point in adding stress by driving to Boston.
IMarriedGrumpy, I agree with Becky....talking to your DH is the way to go. Ask him what has changed his mind. I think men think there is unlimited time because they see people like Larry King having babies in their 60's. Well, their wives are in their 20's/30's! I'd hold off on the gory details for now. It might happen really fast and then he never has to know about cervical position and ovulation. If it becomes necessary, you can let him in the secrets. DH sent me a text message today asking me how my follicles were doing. 
They learn fast when it's necessary.
QOTD: My mother told me to "just do it all the time". I finally told her "We do! Is that what you want to hear?" A few weeks after that, a mutual friend told me my mother is afraid to call my house because she never knows when she'll be interrupting. Hey, if I knew that's all it took to get my mother to leave me alone, I would have told her that a LONG time ago!
My stupid follicles are misbehaving. Five of them are jumping out ahead. This is not good. I just hope there is enough time to get the rest of them to catch up. I refuse to have surgery for 5 follicles. I'd rather just convert it to an IUI - if she'd even do it. Chances are, she wouldn't.
If not, I'll just trigger with hcg, ovulate, try naturally (if she'd even let me do that) and try again next cycle. She might up the medication if the E2 isn't too high. I skipped work again today and treated myself to a coffee roll and iced coffee.

Carla - good luck with the follicles. Hopefully the rest catch up! The shower and the socks is funny - DH did it just the other day with his jeans still on.
Pollito - I'm glad everything is going well. The next few weeks will just fly by.

I have to go back tomorrow. 
That's FOUR blood tests and THREE ultrasounds this week alone. The veins in my arms are all clotted from the previous cycles, so they're pointless. Now, the good ones in my hands are going to give out soon at this rate. I have no idea where they're going to start the IV next week.....if they're going to do it somewhere strange, they had better find some way to give me drugs first! When I was in the hospital with my ectopic, they had to start the IV under my arm. 
Jen, that is so funny about your DH going in the shower with his jeans.
You'd think after all these years of showering, we'd know how to do it right.
Becky, I ALMOST had the underwear on, too, but at the last minute remembered to take them off. Then, I forgot the socks. I need a chaperone to do everything these days. I'm such a flake.

The server ate my last post and I forgot to paste it back in before I jumped over to do "real work" again.
Carla...OUCH
I hope they're able to find a vein tomorrow. Becky thanks for the info. Aunt Flo showed last night so I'm officially on CD2.
Marriedtogrumpy...keep talking to your DH. It took me a month to finally make my husband understand the pull process of TTC.
DH went back to the doctor today for his follow-up appt. He's doing well and should be back to "normal" in another week. Which means...no sex for another week. I'm already at 3 weeks....I have a high libido...no sex is making me cranky

Yay!!!!
There is something about vacations and BFP..... This is a very lucky group. I have a feeling we will be getting a whole lot more of BFPs in the weeks to come!
BTW Carla, my fingers and toes are crossed that those follicles of yours cooperate.
Congradulations. I think that June is going to be a lucky month. I woke up this morning "got myself a gun" no wait that is Tony Soprano. No really I woke up with the most horrible ovary cramps I think that maybe I am ovulating but don't go into the doctor until today for my u/s.

Syrreal, YAY! June is shaping up to be one heckava month!
Becky, a pony would come in handy. The driving thing just isn't working out.
Lisa, how did your ultrasound go today?
I didn't have a date with the wand today. She asked me, "Do you want to do ultrasound?" I joking said, "Not really." She said, "OK, we'll skip today." It took her 25 minutes to get blood out of me and she barely got enough. I don't know WHAT is up with my poor veins.
I haven't heard back yet, but I'm 99% sure I'll be back tomorrow for the ultrasound and another attempt at blood. I'm getting close though! It would be so fun if we were all due at roughly the same time. Fun for us....not sure about the men on the DIS.

I agree- it would be so great if we all got preggers around the same time. Misery LOVES company!
So- how many BFPs are we up to now? All ladies who got a BFP please post again, and if you know your due date, update us with that info, too!

My official due date is Feb. 17 2007. Maybe my little WDW souvenir will turn out to be my Valentines present.

That would just be too perfect, tiggersmom2!!!
I hope you do get a little bundle of joy on Valentines day!I should ovulate today, tomorrow, or the next day- so dh and I will be busy. But, with me getting a new job (I start the 19th) and all of that craziness, I won't be too bummed if we don't get pg this month. But, we're still trying- I'm just not stressed about it this time.
And yuck- I took a dose of Robitussin this morning to thin my CM (which I totally had a dream about my CM last night- how disgusting but oddly funny is that?)- and that crap is SOOOO NASTY! Ugh. But- I have been checkingmy CM and I just don't have the fertile quality CM that I have read about. No eggwhite here.
So hopefully, the robitussin will help that. If it doesn't work this month, next month I am buying Mucinex tablets- I'm not choking down the doses od tussin- I don't care if it WAS cheaper. Blech.

Becky,
Be sure to drink LOTS of water also. The robitussin will help thin it out but combined with lots of water....it does wonders. Just remember...I wasn't stressing about ttc last month either, and looked what happened!!
